I've tried to do this a number of times over the past couple of weeks but haven't had any luck until now!

So...nobody really posts. Everyone must be busy with their kids. I have a spouse now, but still no kids, so life isn't as busy as it is for the rest of you. Therefore, I'm posting.
However...I don't have kids, so I have nothing to post about. Therefore, this is what you are getting.
I recently read a book about management, and I liked some quotes in it, so I wrote them on the board at work. Seeing as I'm stepping down from my position in just under two weeks now, I decided to erase them off the board. I wanted to keep them, so I typed them up. I might as well share!
Trust is something that happens within people only when it is created between people. However it doesn’t happen by accident or good intentions—trust is crafted “by hand” everyday in the many decisions you make and actions you take in leading.

Great leaders connect, support, enrich, inspire, and provide hope…Bottom line, great service leaders achieve that status because of one overriding quality: they serve.

I find the great thing in this world is, not where we stand, but in what direction we are moving.

Yeah, I don't have deep thoughts about these. I just liked them. I LOVE YOU ALL!

I was having trouble posting the video straight to blogger, so I threw it on YouTube. You'll have to have this link to view it (it isn't searchable). Enjoy!

For Really Real Reals this time:
The bedroom. That's a moose on the bed. His name is Mr. Loose Moose (or something like that). We got him in Jackson Hole.
That is the bathroom. I like the brown shower curtain a lot. That little basket held the cards at the wedding. Now it holds extra toilet paper.
The living room! The couch is from Adam's parents. His mom wanted to throw it away before Adam's mission. He begged her not to. Result-we get it! The awesome chairs are from his grandparents. They are lazyboy brand and about a million years old. Despite the horrible shade of orange, I love them! The coffee table was a gift from our neighbors. They upgraded, to our benefit. On the coffee table lies Fablehaven. We read it everyday, and stay up too late reading it, and regret it every morning. Morris family, that is the picture of the Savior you gave us under the lamp. You can't see it well in this picture, but it looks so great in my living room. Thank you so much!
The kitchen. Adam and I purchased the table from a couple that is moving to England (I think...) for grad school. I wouldn't say we got a deal, but it is pretty much the only furniture we purchased (along with the dresser that we bought with gift cards).
The kitchen from the front door. Look at all the neat things in my kitchen. And that's not even the half of it. Those cubboards are full of glasses, and pans, and all sorts of things. Thanks everyone for all the gifts. I absolutely love my kitchen. I love my toaster oven, my knives, my rice cooker, my punch bowl/cake stand, my triffle dish (currently holding fruit), my microwave, my dish towels, and on and on...
Hope you enjoyed the tour. Come back again. And come for reals. We like company. That table folds out to seat 6...okay, so that's not a ton...but hey! We still have Adam's parent's card table in our storage room. That will seat 4 more. Nevermind the fact we only have five chairs total. (three of which borrowed from Mom and Dad Loose).

Say 'Hello' to the newest member of the Brown family (beat out Adam by just weeks)

Lisa asked us to post some pictures of our apartment
I don't have the best pictures of the place, but I tried to get a few good shots.
Here is the living room.
Our kitchen isn't really our style, but it will due.
It isn't much, but not too bad for a starter place. We'll upgrade eventually.

Someone finish the sentence above. Bonus points for naming the play.
So I wasn't very good at wrestling kids and taking pictures of this performance, sorry. Kendle and Paige were in a Wicked/Wizard of Oz spin-off play. Kirtlan and Maddie did their third session of Shakespeare for kids. The first one was Midsummer Nights Dream, then Much Ado About Nothing, and the only one we have pics for here is for As You Like It.
Paige is the cute little girl in green.
Kendle is the animal in the middle next to the giraffe.
Great Work Girls!!!
Kirtlan and Maddie are Shepherds

We spent the weekend in Logan to visit Adam's brother, see the cousins, and have Kristi take our engagement pictures. We haven't seen them all yet, but she posted a few to her blog. We'll see more as they come.
I love Adam. A lot.

I've been rather whiny about Adam being sick. Timing could not be worse and it just totally bummed me out that he has been so sick.
Then today, I was just informed that one of my friends has skin cancer, has to start chemo this summer, can't do his internship, and all of this out of nowhere last weekend. Needless to say, his fiance is having a little bit of a rough time with it.
The Lord has blessed me. Mono (or whatever Adam has) is not fun, but it is a blessing in a way. I have Adam, we are getting married this summer, and even if we still aren't sure what we are doing this summer exactly, we at least know we aren't going to chemo.

That will be my name on June 11th. You have all been aware of that fact, but I'm excited about it. So I thought I would post.
Adam is amazing, so wonderfully perfectly amazing. And I'm a very happy girl. You will all love him. He's going to be a great addition to this family.
Speaking of Adam...he's sick. Super yucky, not happy, nasty, bleh sick. Send some prayers up to heaven for him, so he can get back on his feet and finish up the semester. He might have mono, and has been told that he will be contagious for the next 3 weeks-3months. He is to not share food or kiss anyone for 3 months. We get married in a little over two. Ummmm...yeah. That said... he will be avoiding both David and Traci, as well as all babies and mothers of babies. Don't be offended. He just doesn't want to hurt anyone.
ON a different NOTE:
I was looking at old posts...
About a year and a half ago, I made a post about finals and it makes me laugh.
Finals aren't my problem this time around, it's projects. Projects that I have put off. Not because I'm horribly lazy...but I'm a little lazy.
BUT, I'm getting married. AND I am getting married to ADAM! I'm excited! So, so, so excited and happy and happy and excited.
As far as wedding plans go:
Flowers: white daisies
Colors: light blue and brown
Temple: Oquirrh Mountain
Date: June 11, 2010
Reception: Ben Lomond Suites Hotel- Ballroom in Ogden, Utah that night
Groom: Adam Earl Loose =)
Yeah, that's basically what is important
