Masks

Nels is the greatest! The other day when we were watching a little tv after practice I decided that i wanted to put on a self heating mask and Nels actually did it with me, and wore a headband, and didn't fight a bit about it! Secretly I think he likes it. He feels pretty and likes an excuse to have a clean face. if anyone asks he can blame it on me. "i made him" or "I put a gun to his head until he did it." You know something lame. But he was great and I love him bunches.

JACK-O-LANTERNS!

Friday I dropped Nelsie off a Jamba Juice because he was close to home at one of his dealerships. When I got there I asked him what we were going to do because hey, it's the weekend you're supposed to do fun stuff. And Friday is the only day of the week he doesn't have football practice right after work. Normally I just ask him what we are going to do because I know he doesn't have anything in mind and doesn't really want to leave the house. He likes to come home from the long hard week of work and relax for the weekend. I on the other hand have worked maybe 15-20 hours that week and want badly to do something fun with him. So anyways when I asked him what we were going to do he without hesitation said "carving pumpkins." This thrilled me, because this is what I remember doing one monday out of the month of October with my dad and siblings(usually just Rebecca).
We drove to the pumpkin patch, parked, and then made our trek into the patch. Which was quite a walk!!! Whoever planned that must have been a man, because no woman would make you walk that far to get a pumpkin, and then have to walk all the way back carrying a huge bazillion pound pumpkin. We walked back to our car buckled the pumpkins in their rightful place in the back seat and headed home to perform surgery and pull out all their guts.

There hasn't been much going on here in the Johnson apartment. We, I am realizing that we are pretty boring. We have finally figured out why married people are so boring, and we are happy to join all the rest of you.
This last Sunday Nels woke up with some weird looking eyes so he opted out of church. Then on Monday I woke up with some eye thing. Mine was just from sleeping with contacts in so that infection went away after a few days and new contacts. Nels' doesn't want to go away his eye is looking terrible, but he doesn't want to go to the doctor to get it looked at. He'd rather just walk around the house "blind." He's been hilarious! He tells me he's dying, that he's going blind, and the other night he put a tissue behind his glasses against his eye and walked around the apartment with both eyes closed using his hands to feel his way to the bedroom and bathroom to get ready for bed. He is so tough until it comes to something hurting. I being the good, caring, loving wife sit and watch and laugh hysterically. Yeah I'm pretty awesome!
Hopefully in a few days he'll either realize that it's not getting better and go to the doctor, or it'll get better on it's own. I'm hoping for the second.

My tomatoes!

So, my tomatoes have just started to turn red. They have taken FOREVER!!! So the first picture is the one I took today. The rest are of my tomatoes before there were even tomatoes on it, and of the cutest baby lizard that lived under the planter for a couple of weeks before it was too big. It was so adorable so i had to take pictures so that someone else could see it because Nels wouldn't come see it when I yelled at him to come look. Anyways Ramblings I know, but you are the one who started reading and haven't stopped yet.

Newest addition

The newest addition to the Johnson family! Tuesday of this week Nels and I drove out to Santa Rosa area and picked up our "brand new" truck. Best of all it was FREE!!! It runs great! It's a 1965 Ford 250 3/4 ton (whatever that means) with 105,000 miles on it. It's awesome! Nels is like a giddy school boy when he looks at it. He sent me a picture of it on my phone the other day when I was at work just so that I could see it. It obviously needs a little work; body work, rust, brakes, reupholstering and just some cleaning up.
I know I know you're thinking. How did they get a free truck? Well, Nels went into one of his dealerships and the owner of the shop had an older man bring it in and sell it to him for $1. The owner of the shop didn't want it, so he let Nels trade some product for it. It's a good little truck the only problem I see with it is that it's a stick shift! Nels says it's a little harder to drive. So I guess we'll see how that goes.

Flushed Away

So if any of you haven't seen the movie Flushed away then you are sadly leading a life not worth living. (Don't go kill yourself if you haven't) It is hilarious I laugh everytime I watch it, and I have seen it alot. I have watched it probably 20 times since being married, which is only 3.5 months. I watched it once on Sunday because Nels put it on. I thought he would be sick of it, but since he started it I just had to watch it too. Then i wanted to watch it Monday since it was my day off, so I watched it then later that day I wanted to watch it again. I decided that twice was a little much for one day so I waited til Tuesday and watched it yet again. Nels walked it from work to catch me watching it once again. He laughed, we made popcorn, and then he changed it to NewsRadio. And now I am watching it as we speak. I started writing about it and realized how much i missed it and needed to refresh my memory.
It is so funny, the Mafia rats that work for a toad, are the moronic type you can't seem to hate. There are slugs that are constantly singing and make all the background noise. Everything that you would laugh at the first time you saw it, you will laugh at the second, third, and fourth times. If you're me, more times after that.
Soooo....GO WATCH IT! Get on your couch, in your pjs, and enjoy.

Nels and I are planning on going "home" for Labor day and I can't wait! I am soooo...excited. Now we just have to wait and see if we can get off work to make the trip there. Not that I don't like California, I am trying very hard to love California the way I did when I came to visit. I hated it when I first came here and cried myself to sleep most nights, but it is getting better and I am actually start to like it and soon I know that I will love it! I could not be happier being married to the most adorable, and funny boy in the entire world. He makes the harder days worth it, and not as hard.
