Ramblings

Life is fairly boring here in the Johnson apartment. Nels is working alot, especially now that our car is in the shop to get it's clutch redone. I am working still barely 15 hours a week. Which to most that sounds amazing! To someone who needs money, time wasted so I'm not bored, and friends, working 15 hours doesn't do much for you. I work Sunday mornings so I miss Sacrament meeting, then get there just in time for me to go to nursery. I love little children, but it is very hard to feel the spirit and be spiritual renewed to start a new week when you feel you are nothing more than a free babysitter for the church. I sure do love having snack time though. It's great on those Sundays when you missed breakfast! It is as good as you've always thought.
Speaking of children those of you who know me know that I want to have a family and if it was purely up to me we'd be having one right now, but why is it that anyone who knows that you want a family in the future feels that they need to share their opinion about how long you should wait, that right now is not the time, that you shouldn't have one, that you can't handle how hard it is, etc. etc. I'm so tired of peoples opinions right now. If I want it i'll ask you :) Thanks and goodnight.
Now that I have gotten that off my chest and have been able to vent about church. Why do a vehicle repairs cost so much?!?!?! The Labor alone is $722.00!!!! I think that maybe I should be switching my careers just about now.
Also if you want to see fog that is so thick that you can't see more then 50 yards ahead you should come visit here in Vacaville. It's amazing. I've never seen fog like this in my life.
I know none of this is important or makes any sense to you, but I wanted to vent about how I'm feeling.

Dabble Dabble Dabble...

I have been dabbling in paint. I am not very good, but still want to post some of my "art pieces." Many of you, if of course there's anyone who looks at our blog:) will look at these and laugh, and realize how not talented I am, but I am semi-proud of them. I have a lot of extra time on my hands, because my job only lets me work about 15 hours a week, and there's NOTHING available here in CA except for retail. I am already partially doing retail and am more then sick of it. :) So this is some of what I am trying to fill my time with. Oh and the last one if of something else I fill my time with. Just kidding. I just thought it was funny!

Cotton headed Ninnymugginz

Last Friday Nels and I went up to spend the night at Alexis' to chop down a tree on Saturday. She and I went shopping friday night, it was so fun. We left the kids with their dad and Nels, so that we could just have fun and get what we needed to without the hassle of children. I had a lot of fun with here, I absolutely love her! She's amazing!
So Saturday we woke up and headed up into the mountains. We drove for far too long to get to a tree. We drove like 5 hours, to a spot that on the way home only took 2 or 3 hours, explain that to me?? Ugh! Anyways so we drove up there and Nels ended up driving their prowler(supped up four wheelerish thing) and I got to be in the huge truck. Well we start driving up a one truck road, with snow all over it to get us a tree. Unfortunately the four wheel drive didn't work so we were all over the road.Fish tailing everwhere. I thought we were going to end up in a tree or worse someones trunk. I was terrified! We ended up having to park it half way up the mountain, and all pile in the other truck and the prowler. We hiked down the mountain to get the tree which means we had to hike back up now carrying said tree. We finally got our tree and headed down the mountain to the truck. I decided I would ride on the prowler with Nels even though it was FREEZING!! I really am a nervous driver/passenger I have come to find.
I made Nels stop on our way home to get us some lights and ornaments. We both have tons of ornaments, but left them at our parents. Our tree is cute, but a little boring for what i am used to. My mom's tree is so crammed you can't really see the tree, but I do love it anyways! Happy First Christmas to us!!!

A smashing Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving morning Nels and I were asleep in my old bedroom, on a bed far too small for two people. My mom came in and said hurry and get ready your dad had an idea in the shower that we are going to go up to the property and smash pumpkins. She was very excited about the whole thing. So we jumped out of bed got dressed and headed up to the property. (My aunt and uncle and parents have a few acres up past Heriman, Ut, however you spell it) We met my cousins, aunt and uncle, and brother Greg at Aunt Lynda and Uncle Stephen's home in Riverton. And we were headed off. We we standing in the snow and throwing them over our heads granny style. Nels was the first to throw and his technique was imitated and nobody really thought to do it differently.
When we had thrown all the pumpkins we decided that we would use the bats that Uncle stephen had brought, for some batting practice. It was totally wicked!!!! Everytime you hit a chunk of pumpkin it disintegrated and showered you with orange mist that smelled like of course a delicious pumpkin. At one point Nels was up to bat and hit the chunk and a piece the size of my fist came flying towards me and smacked me right above the knee. It hurt like crazy!!! Man that boy is strong!
We finished up and headed back to our homes to cook dinner all covered in pumpkin puree. Nels and I were really glad we didn't shower before we went. Yes, we did come home and shower!

Playoffs

Nels' team made it to the playoffs. For those of you who didn't know, Nels was assisting in the coaching a football league of 12-15 year old boys for our town. He is great at it, but we kinda had a crazy power hungry head coach who didn't like to listen to what other coaches suggested. They could have gone further in their winnings if he had only listened. Enough about crazy coach though. Saturday was the first day of the playoffs and if you won you continued on if you lost you were out. We LOST!!! (I was excited) I was ready to have my Saturdays back and the husband. So the game was about 30 minutes away in Esparta CA. A very small town of only 1,000. The football field is a football field and a baseball diamond. I don't know if you can see it in the pictures but part of one of the end zones is half dirt. We played against the Richmond Steelers. Ghetto town, but great players. They slaughtered us with a 33-0 lead until the last minute, where we finally got our 3 point field goal. At least I think that's what it's called. So the boys got a medal and we are done with coaching....probably til next year.

What's that smell???

Halloween was interesting this year. I made Nelsie and I our costumes. You would think that sewing fake fur onto sweats would be easy. Well maybe for some, but for sure not for me. i sewed undid and redid about ten times before I finally got it right. Even then it wasn't perfect but passable.
We went to a party on Friday with some couples in our ward. It was fun, except that every person there made the same joke. "Are you standing by the door because you don't want to smell up the room." hahaha people really funny. No we were in sweats and in a house full of people it's warm. The door was open and right in front of the door was 10 degrees cooler. It was a fun party though.
Then on Halloween we went to Jeff and Alexis' (Nels sister) for a little party. There weren't many adults dressed up, but those who weren't looked like the weirdos not us. It was basically just a hang out. It was fun weekend.
