too crazy busy

Dear Brain,
I miss you, I'm excited to see you again in 2 weeks and 6 days. Once you decide to come back from busy land, and wedding planning land, and everywhere else land please let me know so I can reinstate your services. It would be nice to have you back sometime soon. Love - Whitney

Internet!!

Whooo hooo we finally got internet at our place, although this is not being written from our place...hmm oh well. I don't have much to post really but I feel like I haven't in a while. I found a wonderful dress pattern to make for my temple dress, its really pretty I think and I hope it turns out well. Its kind of funny because its actually a costume for a pattern for a dress for the early 1800's, but hey they dressed modestly back then so it's nice :). I can't wait to start sewing it. We went water skiing yesterday, it was way fun. I like to watch Brandon ski because he's so good. I can't remember if I've written about this yet or not but the Streators are part owners in a lake close to Ruah valley. There are 2 lakes one going NS and the other EW where they do competition water skiing. They go around buoys at very high speeds with very short ropes :) I like to just get over the wake a few times but I'm sure with practice I'll get better. We're also going hiking today and addressing a boat load of invitations, you can guess which one I'm more excited for :) I guess thats all  

NEW BABY NUMBER 2

It's true, I got a new niece this week. She's so cute and funny. Its like baby extravaganza in the streator/despain family. I love them both and I can't wait to see them grow up and get big and cute. Congrats to jared and kayleen and jenny and dallas :)

NEW BABY!!!

So now that Jenny has blogged about it, I think I can. The baby came the baby came!!! He's the cutest little thing in the world and I love him. Yay brother and sister in law. I don't have much time for a better post. It's late and I need to go to bed. Maybe when I get internet I'll have better posts. Anyway i'm very excited about the new little one :)

Big changes

So I don't have internet in our new house yet... no looking at emails or at blogs or at facebook. How am I surviving? Me the internet addict..... its not so bad. But now that I'm at my parents with internet here's a new post. As the title suggests I'm going to talk about all the changes in my life, but first a side note. There's this ridiculously large fly in my room, you know the kind that sound like a lawn mower is in your house when its by your ear? Well the only light is my computer screen so he keeps flying by it. At one point he landed on it and in a moment of sheer panic I shut my screen planning to deal with the carnage in a minute. SOMEHOW he magically regenerated from this smashing. I got a fly swatter, then everytime I'd get up, turn on the light and try to kill him, he'd disappear. So finally I whacked and missed a few times, finally hit him and he landed who knows where probably to regenerate again to be the bane of my existence. I hate flys

ANYWAY, the big changes. So in the past few months I have 1. gotten engaged 2. graduated from college 3. rented our first house 4. gotten a steady long term job 5. became an aunt and got a new nephew as of today!!! 6. became an aunt to my new sister and brother in laws daughter and one on the way 7. inherited a whole new awesome family 8. will be going through the temple 9. will be getting married 10. will have to get all my own insurance, holy crap 11. I feel like there's a ton more that I can't remember but seriously thats a lot of big steps all in one! I feel like these should come at me slower, but really its good. I've also changed a lot of activities like I now like 4 wheeling, who would have thought. I got to waterski with a whole bunch of competition skiiers and see how the pros do it, I even went over the wake and around a few buoys. Anyway I think these are 2:30 AM random thoughts... but its kind of crazy how many big things have happened in the last little bit, its like my life went into speed mode and I actually really like it.

Side note: our nieghbors have a really cute little white puppy who runs up to the fence to see me all the time and I wish I had time to play with him. they don't give him much attention, its sad but I like him.
Sidenote 2: the fly hasn't come back :)
Sidenote 3: I now know ridiculous amounts of knowledge about real estate loans that no one should ever know, the sad thing is I haven't even scratched the surface of what I need to know
Sidenote 4: I'm far to tired and rambling to write any more
