Small update

We're back in Pocatello yay! well maybe not the whole pocatello part but were back out west, YAY!! Just kidding I'm actually growing to like Pocatello. I got my same job back so it's back to work for me and back to school for Brandon. I'm liking working again but do sort of miss having an entire summer off. Since we got back we've been visiting family and getting settled back in. We went to the lake with Hansens and Streators, went hiking and to dinner with my family, went to Wendover for a random short trip where all we really did was see the big cowboy eat dinner and drive home and bought a Costco membership. I feel more grownup by buying a Costco membership than anything else thus far. I really like shopping there, I don't think its saved us money because I like shopping there so much I buy stuff we don't need. We were going to Costco like 3 nights a week just for fun but I think that's tapering off now. That's about all we've been up to, I've been trying to lap swim before work but I'm lucky to get there once a week. It's tough getting up at six AM to work out. I wish my body would remember how much I love how I feel after swimming when I wake up to go swimming. I've been trying to start playing my violin again and I've been loving painting even though I'm really awful at it. I got some books from the library that will hopefully bring my skill level equal to the desire I have to paint and if that doesn't work I might take a class in October :). I'm reminded of a quote from the movie Amadeus where the man says why would god implant the desire and then deny me the talent. I keep telling myself as long as I'm having fun thats all that matters but it would be nice to paint something that looks good. My painting actually looks good but I can't seem to make it look 3D or pop from the page, it just doesn't look like the mountain scene I'm trying to paint. It does in the sense that there is a nice mountain scene but not in the sense that it's a canyon and it should have depth etc. Anyway hopefully mo\y books will help a little.
