Never say never

no this is not a justin bieber tribute post. sorry 12 yr old girls.

i said i would "never live with my parents or in-laws". well that went down the tubes when we decided to do grady's internship in phx. it was live with them or continue our version of H-E-doublehockeysticks in the arctic tundra that is rexburg. i chose to eat my words and try it out. i was wrong. very Very VERY wrong. not only do we get to spend crazy amounts of time with both families, but i also get a ride to work with my dad. (did i mention in addition to my dad allowing me and my husb to crash his pad for 5 mos-he gave me a job... yeah.)

the good:

• i live with my parents (whom i love...alot).
• i live with my bro and his wife. my bro is in culinary school. it's rough letting him practice on us. jokes.jokes. it's delish. i am now a food snob because of it.
• i get to re-decorate my mom's house on her dime. who would hate that?! we are currently working on the bathroom, living room and tv room. simultaneously. my dad wants to murder me.
• i have lost 7 lbs. mostly because my entire family decided to live a "paleo lifestyle" together. let's just say it's working.

the bad:

• i live in maybe 175 sq feet. it's hard.
• my belongings (which are most likely garbage) are sitting in 175 sq. feet of my in-law's spare bedroom. ***i'm sorry roberta***
• i don't want to move now.

the ugly:

• people have to see me without make-up... get it? ugly, make-up? ok...

i guess i just needed to blog my feelings on the subject matter that i was wrong. and that i'm grateful for a great family. and the time we have to enjoy 85 degree weather. (yeah rexburg- eat your heart out!)
