Random thoughts. . .

Well first off we are pretty much moved, now i just have to get the remaining things from the old apartment and clean it and then I can finish unpacking everything in the new. But I have made Tyler promise that next time we move we will pay people to do the heavy stuff for us. Maybe I will make sure that I am pregnant so I have the excuse that I can't lift anything to heavy. I know I know, I am a sissy la la but seriously that king size mattress was way to heavy for me.
Random thought number 1: On 1 of our 5 trips to San Jose(2 1/2 hour drive) in the last couple weeks I have come to realize my love for windmills. Between here and there there is a place that has tons of windmills that are used to produce energy. Such a good idea. But I just think that they looks so pretty up on top of all of the hills with the yellow grass, that I am sure is green during the winter, covering them.


And I always remember as a kid going to the ranch with my dad or my grandpa and going to the windmill. It fascinates me how the windmills work. Whomever came up with the idea is a genius. Whenever I think of a windmill I think of the ranch and if you know me you know how much I love the ranch.
Random thought number 2: I have been thinking recently about how funny my husband is and I figured I better write down some of the funny things that he says so that I have proof. Remember he is my only child at the time and he is going to teach me patience for when I have more. So yesterday while we were doing some moving, I was complaining about having to do so many loads and he looks and me and says "What you think because you are a woman you only have to do 50% of the work!" I just couldn't stop laughing. All I could say was "You think you are a man so you don't have to do any of the house work!"
A little reason for why I call him my child... the other morning I was sleeping in because I was so worn out from moving and when I woke up I could here him tip toeing around the apartment trying to be quiet so I just stayed in bed for awhile reading and then a few minutes later he comes into the room to see if I was awake because he was bored but he knew that I needed to sleep. We have a rule that if I am sleeping in and I don't need to be up for anything then he has to leave me alone and go entertain himself in the other room. I am training him pretty well with this but he does complain because he can't ever sit still and I am a sleeper.
Other funny stories, let's see, one time he called me the titanic when we were swimming. Boy was I mad. He didn't mean it that way but still. I said I was a little boat floating around the pool and he said I was the titanic and that he was going to sink me like the real boat. Sometimes I wonder if he thinks before he talks.
He is so clumsy. He is like a bull in a china closet. But enough of about Tyler he knows I love him and that he makes me laugh everyday.
Random thought number 3: I have I said already that I hate moving. But I am so excited to live in San Jose. It is fairly close to the ocean and the weather is so nice, 70's and 80's and the night are kind of chilly but it is so nice to be able to sleep with the windows open. We loved living in Roseville and we will miss it dearly but San Jose will also be so fun and we will get to meet new people and do some more exploring. And did I mention that I have some friends from MN that live in the same complex as us. So we will already have some friends close by to keep us company.
Final random thought: We are going to miss the missionary boys so much. They have become a part of our family. So much that I think that I will name a kid after them. They have been our saving grace at times. And we also realized how much money we are going to save now that we wont be feeding them all the time. Not that we didn't love having them around but they do get expensive. Here is a little slide show of pictures of them. I hope that one of them marries either Mickey or Hannah, they would fit in the family just great.
