How much did the pirate pay to get his ears pierced? The answer: a buck an ear! (kneeslapper-Mom I hope you're laughing)

So...it's been a while kids. Ryan and I have been busy working like crazy. I have a second part time job where I basically do data entry but in a cut and paste fashion. Good fun. I signed a confidentiality agreement so I had better not tell you too much. All I can say is that I'm going through newspaper articles and assigning each story a number in a catalog system. I can't tell you what they're going to do with it though. In case it doesn't happen. Or something. My job sounds more secretive than Ryan's stint at being a Border Patrol agent. The fun part is reading the newspapers. They're from 1850 and mention my ancestor Jonathan Browning several times, especially in advertisements. Depending on what they do with it, I would like to have a personal copy for family history records. Good times.

Ryan and I are also in the process of buying a home. We found one in Springville we like, made an offer on, and are now waiting to see if our loan application will go through. We're pretty sure that it will but we don't want to take any chances. Here's a link http://www.utahrealestate.com/689413 that will hopefully work. You never know with them computers. We love the space the house has and the ability to turn it into a duplex. Then we can rent part of it out and go nuts. Meaning make money and pay off the house faster. We shall see. It's pretty exciting to plan out though. If all goes well we move in June 20th. Which is the day before our 6 month anniversary. More on anniversaries in the next paragraph. The house is also on a quarter acre of land. Ryan wants a malamute someday so we just put a gate at the end and we're set for a doggy.

Ryan and I have known each other a year this week. We met May 21st last year on Sunday, and the rest you all know, is history. May 21st also happened to be our 5 month anniversary. We've been married 5 months. It sure flies. And I've never regretted a day of it.

Anyway, I hope ya'll are getting out and enjoying some of the new flicks coming out. This is the month and year of threes. Spiderman 3 (it was okay, the singing and dancing took away from the action that the film provided), Pirates 3 (I don't even know the title of that one), and Shrek 3. I heard they missed the mark on Shrek, so it'll be Dollar Theater fun for me and Ryan later. I'm very excited for Bourne Ultimatum though. Maybe one of these days I'll read the books. As for Harry Potter, this is his 5th film, and I have yet to be really impressed with those films. The books are a million times better. I just wish the actors and sets could capture the jokes and intelligence the books have, instead of the actors wearing name brand clothing with their 70's hair cuts. (Sorry, I digress). The important thing is that they're trying and most people are satisfied. Wow. I am such a nerd. Good for me.

Anyway, toodle oo. I still have some TA quotes I've been meaning to post and send to the other students in my Bio lab but that hasn't happened yet. Eventually I suppose.
