Well I am here at the library just down the street from our house, nothing too exciting has been going on- except that my family may be coming over on sunday for a pasta-rif-ic dinner haha. We'll see though. So right now John and I are looking at Jeeps and cars, and also Tattoo designs. But unfortunately I have to go to Lehi to go retake my CNA test....So Lame....well until we get internet, I may have to come here (to the library) and continue up with my blog. haha.
I am not excited to have to drive,walk, or ride a bike to get here till that point but it is the internet and it will be useful to use. Haha + it will be nice to be out of the house every so often. I will have to make a weekly trip or something. haha.
Unfortunately I have about a half an hour left before my time is up on here, so I better get going any ways, since I need to be leaving for Lehi at about 2:45 so yeah...
Saturday the 14th of May went surprisingly well...John seemed to get along well with my Uncle Bud and his son in law Philip so yeah, and that night we ended up opening all of the gifts some we recieved multiples of too so that was rather interesting. haha. But thankfully we got a lot of things that we needed :) like towels, and such. When Sunday rolled around we went to return some of the items we had already purchased or received multiples of.
Well I better get going,
Love The Rice Family.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Today while I was home alone with our puppy, Holly, I was pretty bored, so I cleaned, unpacked, and I decided to attempt to make some chocolate chip cookies. The dough tasted really good. I think I may have added a little too much Vanilla Extract...But nonetheless the dough does taste delicious. It was also the first thing that I have ever made in the kitchen to our Apartment! Hooray!
I also called Mountainland ATC to retake my CNA test. So While I was bored I decided to make some note cards with my abbreviations. So I can study them. I almost got all of my abbreviations onto the note cards.
Well right now John is cleaning out the closet from his old house. (The place where he lived before we got married) Yeah so while he is taking care of that I decided to check my email, facebook, and update our family blog.
But before we came back to his old place of inhabitance.We stopped at The Home Depot, and the Dollar Store. We picked up some laminate floor cleaner, for our apartment, and then some other cleaners at the Dollar Store, for when we are cleaning the old home of John's; also our own home as well. So yeah- after wards we will be going to get some pizza and then finally head back to our lovely apartment, where I am sure we will engulf ourselves with as much food as we can.
John passed his Police Final with a 91% so he will be graduating tomorrow! Yay! It's rather exciting for everyone. And we would have celebrated but we are low on the means of money right now since we were just married. Which is true for most newly weds. Haha. Anyways that is the update for today.

Yay almost there!
So John and I are almost, almost finally moved in! Yippeeeee! We have been sleeping at our apartment more and more lately. And today I was going to make chocolate chip cookies to find out that I dont have everything that I need to make them....Its rather sad.
But I am excited to be possibly getting a tattoo soon! woot woot! I am thinking like stars/butterflies or both, but I am not entirely sure, prolly both of them combined in a unique way. (butterflies because its my favoritest cousins favorite animal, and stars because I believe that one can reach for the stars no matter what anyone tells them)
So its pretty exciting, getting all moved in and such + my parents are throwing us an open house on saturday and we have already received 4 hand towels, 4 normal towels, and 1 large family picture frame. We are both really excited to see what we get haha. But yeah anyways we'll see what goes about.
Love,
The Rice family.

We spent the first night at our apartment last night! It was a lot of fun.(I thought it was anyway) haha.
So we finally were able to get a couch! and it fits perfectly in our small living room! We built it and so it wasnt a problem getting it into the apartment, HOORAY! We also were thinking that our custom made bed (made by John) wouldn't fit but sure enough we were very wrong, and we got it to fit! Yay!
Later we went to Ikea, there we got a nice sized shag rug that pretty much covers the majority of the floor (not quite but almost) and its very nice and soft. As well as some rugs for the kitchen (just some cheap $4 rugs) and then two pillows and some nice pillow sham type covers.
Before going to Ikea, we went to a dealership to look at an '06 PT Cruiser, well in other words it is a POS car. So I think we may be getting me the Suzuki :) haha or a bike will do just fine. While I was test driving it, I could barely crank the wheel, because the power steering was out...and there were some other things wrong with it as well. We also ventured to a bike shop, to find out that they close at 5 pm on Saturdays...so we ventured to another one, where the bikes I like were at least $300...yeah but the one I really like it SUPER cute :) Then John dropped me off at my parents, as he waited in the car. While I went to go say hello to my family. It was nice to be home, but I am glad that I don't live there anymore haha.
yup those are the adventures of May 7, 2011..We got most of the things at the apartment. So we only have like the computer and such left to take over but yeah. I think I am more excited about it than John is haha. so yeah that's about it for today.

It has been a slow process...but we are getting there surely. Yesterday we were able to fit a larger chair into the apartment, yay! And now its just time to take apart the bed and try to get it to fit into the apartment; which should be very interesting.
Yesterday I attempted to make twice baked potatoes, I think it will be easier once I have a way to actually mash the potato...like a mixer for example- which I do not have, not yet anyways. But in the end they tasted pretty good....Although I did mis-hear John saying how he wanted to try one, and I accidentally put pepper on it, so in the end he didn't eat it.
Oh yeah I also found my CNA books Hooooraaaaay! So now I can study and call to retake the test!

April 27- May 4, 2011
This is the day that John and I finally said "I Do." It wasn't a big elaborate wedding, just a small wedding at the courthouse; with two random people to be witnesses. We are very excited to finally be married. We are currently moving to a small cute 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment, in Provo. I will be glad to post pictures later once we are fully moved in and the place is nice and clean.
Sometime in between yesterday and Wednesday the 27th.
We had purchased a couch and it took FOR-EV-ER to get it to our front door....but sadly it would not fit through the door..so the following day we sold it! WOOHOO! it had caused us sooo much stress and frustration that it was actually nice to see it go...plus on top of that we made $20 on it! (We had purchased it for $80 and sold it for $100) nice :)
Yesterday (May 4, 2011) Is our one week anniversary. Its crazy to think that we have already been married for a whole week! I have already made two technically three dinners. One wasn't the best but it was still tasty. (I had made baked chicken and croissant rolls) the chicken was HUGE and could have been cooked a little longer. Then I think it was the night we sold our couch that I had made pasta with the really tasty sauce called "Four Cheese Alfredo" it was delicious! Except the noodles could have cooked just a little longer. Oh well at least I am cooking right?
Well I gotta go and start packing stuff into the car to take to the apartment.
