Then why is it that our apartment is so warm? I am predicting not needing to turn on the heat EVER, all winter long, which could be nice I suppose. We’ll see if that prediction comes to fruition.
In other news, look, pictures!
Look at the pretty new paint job on our car! No dent and no scratches! Yay!
And here's one with Kyler. We're enjoying the pretty car, even if we do need to get new brakes now. Fun....Kyler and I hiked Ensign Peak with Liz and Jake a few weeks back, and it was really fun. A nice short hike with an amazing view of the city, even if, yes, my hips started hurting. Yay for going uphill.
So here are some pictures from Ensign Peak.
Kyler and I up at the top with the monument. We can actually see this thing from where we live, if we look closely up into the hills.
Another one of us, this time with the view of Salt Lake City. It looks a lot smaller from up there.
And here's one of Liz and Jake, for good measure. You can see the mountains pretty decently in this one...Let’s see, what else have we done… Kyler and I both got emails from the Army, offering to pay for grad school if we join up. That’s the joy of taking the GRE. I haven’t received as many letters as I did for colleges after I took the SAT (does that mean I didn’t do as well?), but it’s still early yet, and I don’t care. Kyler is signed up to take the GRE psychology subject test in November, and he’s working on his applications for grad schools. I’m trying to help as much as possible, since he’s going to school, working, doing research, commuting, etc, but I just can’t write his personal statement for him… and I doubt he’d want me to. After all, he got a 5.5 out of 6 on the GRE written portion, and I only got a 5.
Kyler has also applied for a green card, making our banking accounts significantly lighter, and I applied for a passport, which only made a minor dent in our financial assets comparatively. Here’s to hoping he gets travel documents in time for Christmas… and the Olympics! Although, we have yet to find a place to stay for the Olympics… whoops.
I’m trying to think, and I’m thinking that’s about it. The primary program is coming up? I’ve earned a tiny bit extra money babysitting a couple of adorable kids in the ward a time or two? Kyler and I are happy and healthy, though completely unsure of what the future holds? Yeah, that’s about it.
I've also been having strange dreams recently, though I'm having trouble remembering them.
In one dream, I'm at work and it's 4:10 (when I normally leave at 3:30) and I realize I haven't left yet! My co-worker and I discuss how I'll make up that time (since we're not suppose to work overtime), and we come to the conclusion that the next day I'll leave for lunch extra early but come back at the same time. Problem solved!
Another dream was partially based in reality. I realized my soft pillow was no where to be found (in Real World), but I was too asleep still to sleepy to do much about it. Then I dreamt (isn't that a word? Blogger thinks it's spelled wrong) that our apartment management took the pillow away to fix it or update it or something, leaving me with just the pillow case (or, sheet in Real World). I tried to tell them (in Dream World) how much I needed my pillow, or at lease a replacement, but they didn't have much sympathy. Shortly after this, I decided (in Real World) that my pillow was probably on the floor, and then went back to sleep. When I finally woke up, I was right: my pillow was there, right next to the bed, not stolen by my mean management. Thank goodness.
Now, who wants to psycho-analyze those dreams for me? Anyone?

The dreams mixed with real world throw my whole day off. Everything feels disturbing after that. Like the other night my ankle itched for real and in my dream I was positive it was a spider bite. I spent the next hour smashing spiders all over my bed, only the spiders weren’t actually there. And in the morning, I didn’t have a spider bite. It was horrible. Perhaps this issue with reality mixing with dreams means we feel the need to always be alert and controlling the situation? Maybe it is a sign of a feeling of helplessness? Interesting.
Here is my take on the dream:
You are afraid of losing your security, possibly financial security. You also might be worried about losing your job (thus financial security).
How's that?
But I know that they LOVE you at work and that you have nothing to worry about, so go back to sleep.
Love you.
You know work is taking over your life when you start dreaming about it. I had a dream last year that I was best friends with two of my seventh grade students and all three of the Jonas brothers wanted to take us out on a date. Ick! I don't even like the Jonas brothers! Take it easy.
I have nothing to say but, Hee!
