Unexpected experiences

As most of you know Eric as recently been interviewing with accounting firms in Boise. He got second round interviews that seemed to go well but still no job offers. We were both getting very excited about a new adventure in boise and now things aren't looking so good. And you know of course I am bummed a little bit because boise is the best place ever and i would be so happy to be there and raise our family there, but when it comes down to it i realize we are so very blessed and fortunate to already have a job waiting for us in Idaho Falls. It may not be what we had in mind but i know that someone looking out for us and knows what is best for our future and im ok with it. so after all of this have learned...

1. Dont get your hopes up.

2. Be optimistic

3. Look forward to new adventures

4. Remember to always be grateful for what you do have at the moment.

So Idaho Falls, get ready... The Story's are comin :)

Eric's Worst Nightmare.

So yesterday was any other morning, as eric and i got ready for school and work. I was of course eating a cookie at breakfast time, who doesnt eat cookies for breakfast right??? when all of a sudden i start choking. Like not just your average choking were you hack up a lung over a sip of water. It was the real deal. I couldn't breath and eric was brushing his teeth asking me if i was alright when i gave him the help me look and he runs over to me and gives me the heimlich. Probably only lasted all of 30 seconds but man it was kinda scary. All day, "Cloey dont do that ever again... I really didnt like that. Can we never do that again?" Needless to say the hubby wasnt a fan. He said i can no longer eat cookies out of his presence. Yeah right... they are wayyy to good for that.


On a lighter note we are in boise all weekend. The trees are beautiful, the weather is warmer than poky and eric is at his 7 hour interview. Oh and BSU is looking up. Lucky me I get to be a true bronco come next fall! Also we will be back on wednesday for another interview. Lots of driving but great company.

Babies.... EVERYWHERE!

Is it just me or is everyone prego?! It is kinda freaking me out. It seems like everyone my age and everyone who just got married within the last 6 months is expecting. I am slightly freaking out because i desperately don't want that to be us yet. Yes, I cannot wait to be a mother and to experience all of that but man... I can TOTALLY wait! haha I am not ready to have serious responsibilities. I want to finish school I want Eric to have a stable job. Please do your job drugs!!! But of course if it happened i wouldnt regret it or be upset. I will love to be a mother no matter when it comes!!!

Feeling like a wife

Tonight was one of the first times I felt like a wife/ homemaker... and the sad part is i didn't even do much. I guess it's about time i step up my game.

But Eric and i got home from school took a little nap and then he started studying. ( which by the way is my arch nemesis). Eric is currently studying for the CPA exam. I think he is nuts because it has got to be one of the hardest exams on this planet. There are four sections and each are 4 hour long tests. Fun?? I think not. Pretty much these tests consume my husband for about 4 to 6 hours a day. As much as i hate it, i do my very best to be supportive and help him get all the studying he need.

 So as he is studying i decide to make him dinner. He said he wanted rice, so i went with it. I marinated chicken in italian dressing then sautéed cilantro, green onions and mushrooms with the chicken and put it over a bed of rice. And we had premade crescents with homemade jam.... no i am not that good yet. maybe someday. Needless to say I was quite proud of my random creation. It was pretty good. 

Then when it was time to do dishes Eric insisted that he do them but i told him i wanted him to go right back and study. What a good wife right? haha Then it was off to the grocery store. So i guess this being a wife thing isn't so bad!

Married Life

So Eric and I got married at the end of July and it has been great ever since.

We live in a little studio apartment where the only place to go is the bathroom. We have no storage and we probably look like class A hoarders. But to say the least it is great! We have such a fun time together. After being apart all summer seeing the love of my life everyday is like a giant bowl of ice cream... yeah weird analogy i have just had ice cream on my mind all night... We are living in Pocatello ID for the time being. Eric is done with school at the end of the semester and in January he has an intern ship in Idaho Falls with an accounting firm so we will be moving there. I will be commuting to poky for school for the semester.


Our most current adventure is Eric's job interviews for firms in BOISE! Of course i am more than happy to move back to the best place on this planet but only time will tell. He has had 2 first round interviews and just got a second round interview. We are still waiting for 2 other firms to have their first round interviews. It is just a waiting game and there is a part of me that likes the unknown but also i CANNOT wait till we know exactly where we will be in a year. And this is when  the line "patience is a virtue" comes in. :)
