My New Shift!

So i was on my way out of youthtrack and saying sianara sucka!!! Then i got offered a shift that seemed to good to be true(i for one didn't believe when my boss offered it to me). I would work thur and fri. from 4-9 p.m. and sat. 8am to midnight. Three days only. There are no other staff who only work three days at youthtrack. So i said yes. Advantages to this new shift are 1. i get to spend more time with the wife and el nino when he gets here, since i have 4 days off a week. 2. More time for homework at home and even on thur and fri. nights when i get off at 9. 3. lets face it less time at youthtrack. and 4. every saturday night i get to watch a movie, what kind of deal is that. Disadvantages are first and foremost 16 hours is longer than you think. I thought oh a double isn't going to be bad, by 8 pm i'm tired, right now it's 10 pm and i still have 2 hours to go(someone please come and save me). Continueing, another disadvantage, my weekends are gone(luckily i'm married, I love you sweetie so much, so it's not like i need to go out and hang with some homies). And a huge disadvantage is i will spend saturdays away from my wife and new born son when he is here.(I'm making a sad face right now) But all in all the shift is good i work with some amazing staff who i respect and am greatful for my friendship with them. They help me in so many ways with my job and help me become a better staff member at youthtrack-utah.
Other than that we have just been gearing up for school to start on monday. I have a busy schedule that includes Economics, English, Sociology, Calculus, and most importantly Curling!!! I am stoked about school especially curling. I'm taking curling with The Patrick, El Norte, and Cody. Good times it will be. I have a good attitude going into this semester. I did very well in my summer classes getting some B's and building up my enthusiasm for school again. I feel at times i struggle in school. i don't know if it is just laziness, or sometimes i really do get confused on things and it just dosn't come clear fast enough. Depending on who you ask it is probably a little bit of both. But such is life and you live and learn. So this semester will be different i hope. I want to get my gpa up so i can have a better chance of getting into the school i want to go to for my masters program.
It's weird to think how i'm going to be the first person in my immediate family to graduate from college(not counting my wife who just graduated in may, Awesome job schnookums). I come from a line of mechanics. Which there is nothing wrong with labor jobs or being a mechanic. Their was food on the table and a roof over my head my entire life thanks to my father who work on motors his whole life to provide for the three of us and make our dreams come true of going to college and getting an education. Isn't life amazing how it all works out. And they say when you attend college it is more likely that your children will also. So i'm hoping that i'm starting a trend for my kids, THAT SCHOOL IS COOL!! well sort of.
Well i think i've talked too much now, it's this new schedule it's already getting to me here, i'm going crazy. An hour and a half and i'm out woohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Till next time Remember Who You Are, And Don't Let it Get You Down!!!!!!!!!!

Are two cars better than one?

We currently have 2 cars, however, the other day the family that Josh lived with in ID called him and asked if they could buy his car from him. They recently moved to Preston, ID and their oldest son needs a car for school. Josh's car is older and he hit a deer in it which made the air conditioning go out, but overall it's a good 4 door little Neon. So here are the pros and cons of selling the car and you let us know what you think - are two cars better than one?

PROS of selling the Neon

• We'll have the money from selling the car to put a good payment on Josh's braces.
• We won't have to pay for insurance for the car every month, giving us almost $50 more a month.
• We won't have to pay registration for the Neon - again saving money.
  
• We won't have to pay for gas or up keep for the Neon - saving more money.
• We are having a baby next month and could use the extra money.
• We have free buses here in Logan, Josh has a bike, and we have two legs for walking.

CONS of selling the Neon

• A lot more planning has to be involved - especially when we have a child. Ex: When Josh has to work at night and I'm home with the baby I either have to take Josh to work or plan my night without the car.
• A little more wear and tear on the Honda.
• Emergencies happen - what if Josh or I have the car and something comes up and we need the car?
• Josh has Sunday morning meetings and he drives everyone. I usually go with our wonderful neighbors, the Hyltons, but sometimes they're not in town or I am running late or need to go in early.

As I have thought about this and looked at this list I realize that it's a difference between money and convenience. We know that many of you have had experiences like this and so we're interested to hear your wisdom and insight on the subject. Even if you don't have experience on the subject, we're interested in what you have to say. Obviously in the end we will do what the Spirit prompts us to do, but this is a good way for us to get more insight on the matter.

I love jello!!!

So this is a blog and maybe we should write on this. And since i'm sitting here at my job working a grave shift and since i was eating jello, i decided to write about the wonderful experience of eating it. Well recently i got spacers put in my mouth due to the fact i'm getting braces in 2 weeks. my mouth hurts unfortunately , my wonderful wife made me a smoothie for dinner and went to the store and bought me jello and pudding so i could have food to eat for this grave shift, which i am truly thankful for. I love you sweetie! While working grave i started eating it and i was not disappointed. I have forgotten how much i like jello. this may sound weird but don't you remember how you swish it in your mouth. isn't it fun. I remember when i was in high school i used to take the piece of jello and put it in my mouth and swallow it in one gulp. I don't recommend it all the time sometimes even the biggest pieces of jello might make you choke so you got to be careful. I think sometimes we forget about the things in life that we like. Like how much i like jello.

Well in a few short days it will have been two years that i have been privileged to have Terra Marie Huff in my life. She is my everything, i love her so much. She is truly my other half. So i thought i would take some time and put some pictures of the two of us over the last two years. There are not a ton but you can see us from day one to the present. Thank you for making me so happy every day. I could never have wished for anything better in my life than you.
I love you Terra!!!!!!!

Love
your schnuglebottom

Only 3 Terra Huffs

Man i dislike the Dentist

I have no problem going to a doctor for whatever reason. I have no problem with anything else in the medical world, but the dentist. I really don't like going. I will admit i'm a gagger. I can't help it i've always been that way so when they mention the words x-ray during a dentist visit i get so tense and i white knuckle the chair i'm sitting in. And that's another thing they always deceive you with those nice comfy chairs that lean back and are great to sleep in then they shove things in your mouth. It's an evil game those dentists play with you. But i can actually say that my fear of the dentist is over thanks to Dr. Todd Butler. He made me feel comfortable and made me put my trust back into the ever scary dentists of america. (No offense to my buddy Nate Watkins who is leaving for dentistry school.) He was very personable with me. He started talking about nascar to me. I like nascar but i'm not a huge fan of it, i figured he must be a red neck or a wanna be red neck all the same. His staff and everyone there were great and me and Terra left there knowing we made a good choice coming to his office. We walked away with clean smiles and another adventure to tell. Thanks for dealing with our marathon posts tonight 3 in one night. 3 stories that had nothing to do with each other so we posted 3 times.

Going to Casper!!!

Last weekend me and Terra decided to make the trip to Wyoming to see Mom and Dad Howard. We always have a fun time with this trip. Me and Terra both agree that we have the best parents in the world on both sides who do so much for us and we hope they know how appreciative we are of all 4 of them in our lives. So friday Terra got off at noon and we grabbed some aggie ice cream sandwhiches and set off for Casper, Wyoming. We got there around dinner time. Due to some construction going on in Kemmerer, Wyoming it took us alot longer then usual. Plus we had to stop off at Little America and get a 50 cent ice cream cone. I mean come on, geez. We got there around dinner time and sat around and talked with mom and dad about what is going on in life. And got to bed a little early due to Dad and I's 7:30 tee time at 3 Crowns Golf course. I had a fun time. I definitely need some work on the short game. The drive was on though i didn't lose a ball till like the 9th hole so that is good. And i stayed out of the water all but 2 holes i think. So i was proud of myself. While we were golfing the ladies were out shopping and doing their thing. They seem to have fun spending all our hard earned money. That night we all went to see the movie Wall E it was a fun little movie, not my favorite pixar movie but it was fine. Then we got up and went to church the next morning and made our adventure back. We were really sad to go because we love being there. So we think we are going to make the trip back in early august before school starts again to spend some more time there before Benjamin comes into our lives.
