New Happenings in the Home...

Well...everything always seems to come to a head when the holidays roll around. Our first Christmas we had NO money or jobs and were really anxious for me to get a job working in my field....Last year i quit my job with hopes of a new and better job working at Sandman Studios.....and this year i was laid off from Sandman because the company was losing money and couldn't afford everyone...Two of my friends got canned as well. Sandman said it might only be temporary but i'm not getting my hopes up... i'm gonna start looking for something new. It's really sad because i looooove the people i worked with. They were like my brothers. But i guess things change and people move on...at least since i've been living here in Utah that's how it works...I just wanted everyone to know about my unemployment because i know you guys love and care for me and enos and i just didnt want you to find out some other way. We're doing fine though and there's no hard feelings about it... we're just being humbled i think. It really helps a person re-evaluate their life and what direction they want to go in... I have yet to decide if i'm going to jump into doing freelance fulltime or if i should continue to do animation elsewhere...Enos and i are really praying hard about all of this... anyway... ON A MUCH LIGHTER NOTE....

Enos' art project

So enos has this class called history of creativity and he likes it (no not really). Anyway, for his final project he had to make a piece that represents some aspect of roman architecture. He chose the arch and to use it as a symbol of triumph... like a trophy kinda... well... it would have been a swell idea if he hadn't procrastinated and ended up doing it 12 hours before it was due....like i would care right? except for the fact that he needed some DRAWINGS on the arch...damn you enos....we ended up BOTH staying up wayyyyy past human hours. Good thing i love that man more than anything....good thing. (it's a trophy for someone winning an eating contest.)

who me, procrastinate?

even geoffrey went to bed before us.

My last spend the night...

Sonita and i have been friends since our freshman year in college... but she leaves utah on saturday and moves back to minnesota... so for our last hurrah we had a small party and i spent the night... yes i know i'm married...(for more reasons to hate me... see www.ihatelindsay.blogspot.com).. i love you So and i'll miss having you around...You were there through all the rough spots and made me laugh like i never had before... i will miss you SOOOOOOOOO much...don't forget all the great times we had...but feel free to forget that period when we weren't speaking very much...hahah...love you!

Enos and Lindsay: the quirks

So i got inspired to tell you all our quirks because i read about another girl and HER husband's quirks...so i thought i'd share a bit with you so you see what kind of people enos and i are.

1. i need way too much space in the bed which most often times means i've sprawled one leg over the top of enos and end up spanning the whole bed. enos seems okay with it, luckily.
2. i HATE large groups of people. I get anxious and uncomfortable and wanna leave.
3. Every morning when i drive to work, i try my very hardest to drive exactly over the manholes without touching any part of them. It's only on this one road... i have yet to drive over all of them without touching one. (it's really hard!)
4. I know all the timing and order of any given stoplight from my house to north orem. I'm a bit obsessive. I even know which lane is generally the fastest due to turns and people changing lanes and whatnot.
5. I hate controlling the remote control when other people are "depending" on me. I would rather just give it away. I get anxious.
6. I am most relaxed doing my art when i am dressed silly. (leggings, enos' fleece, a scarf)
7. I HATE routine but without it i'm lost and a bit sick at my stomach(literally).
8. The first thing i do when i get home is tell Geoffrey (my cat) i love him.
9. I check everyone's blog at least three times a day... even if i've already checked it that day. (i'm obsessive compulsive)
10. Lastly, i almost ALWAYS have to sit in the front passenger seat when i go to lunch with the guys. Mostly cuz i'm the only girl and so i'm entitled to that right.

ENOS

1. Enos suffers from what i've heard called "feet claustrophobia" which without much explanation means he won't wear shoes EVEN in the dead of winter snow, flip flops only. nerd.
2. He loves to cuddle beyond normal people's limits...He likes to be entangled in his cuddle.
3. He is very particular when cooking...everything is in exact order and must be followed exactly. If i help, he'll always "correct" me. This is why i refuse to cook with him anymore.
4. He's VERY good at following directions. He learns anything after the first time watching because he studies it intently.
5. He didn't know he had something wrong with his eyes until i TOLD him he wasn't looking at me, but AROUND me. (each eye facing outward, he wears glasses now because of it)
6. He has a VERY good eye for art. he's my number two when it comes to looking and fixing my art work... (i'm number one, obviously)
7. He pulls out his eyebrow hairs when he is thinking about trivial things.
8. He remembers dates more than most people i know (this includes our first date, the first time we kissed, birthdays anniversaries, etc.)
9. He laughs whenever i try to tickle or move him. (because he's neither ticklish nor movable.)
10. Whenever he watches tv his mouth always hangs open and he is a complete zombie.

That's just a bit about us. Hope you enjoyed it.
