wonderful world of christine

I feel ridiculous. I created this blog, then I forgot how to even sign in. Then Marie sends personal invitations to everyone so you can post stuff with your own name. I have suddenly become very technologically illiterate. :(

Don't worry about the Matthew reprimandation Marie. (I don't think repremandation is a word, by the way.) The only reason that I know how to spell weird is because one day during Sacrament meeting matthew and I were writing notes to each other and I spelled it "wierd" and he made fun of me right in the middle of Sacrament meeting! Public humiliation helps you learn quickly. For those of us in this family who are currently in or are going into the teaching profession, we will have to keep this in mind.

I've watched a couple of episodes of "Clean House" lately. It is kind of like extreme makeover home edition, except they have people with really cluttered houses and they come in and make them sell a whole bunch of stuff at a yard sale and give the rest to good will. Then they remodel the house with the money that was made from selling the stuff. This has prompted me to want to just get rid of all the junk that is in my room. I don't know what most of it is anyways. It is scary though.

Speaking of getting rid of junk... I erased my myspace account along with changing my phone number. For those of you who only communicate with me through myspace, you may have to find a new way to talk to me otherwise I'll start to think you don't love me.

I think I'm ready to start over. I am grateful that in this life we get the chance to do that. :)

I am going to a Young Single Adults conference in Medford, Oregon this weekend. I am going with Brandon and Brianna Cardenaz. Also, Kari my friend and former roommate from Chico is going, but she's going with a boy she met at our unity conference. I am excited to spend time with Brandon and to get to see Brianna again.

Last weekend I participated in a Karaoke/Talent Show thing for our ward. Sister Carter (the Bishop's wife, who also happens to be the funniest person in the world) and I sang "These Boots are made for Walkin'" We had wigs, wore trenchcoats, and boots of course. It was freaking hilarious. One of these days I will post the video here. It is just weird.


Alrighty... I love you all and can't wait to talk to you soon.

Love,
Bean

Matthew is adorable

Yes, Matthew is adorable! So follow suit, Mark what are you up to, apparently Matthew is a computer nerd. Marie how was your day? Hey look at the time, I had better be teaching, see ya!!! The MOM

You know...

So, Mom's been telling me I need to finish my driving classes, which I am pretty close with, and now she complains about us not blogging. It's been like two days since it started. Somebody needs to take a chill pill, I MEAN COME ON!!! I'm just kidding, Mom's been doing great taking care of me all by herself with no help from her enforcers, yes I mean all y'all that beat me when I'm hatin'.
Um, basketball started back up last week, going to go to practice in a couple of hours. Conquer's good. That's pretty much it. Goodbye my family.

- Matthew

LOVE IT

I just love the opportunity to hear what everyone is doing. I thought I posted last night begging for more info from the quiet ones, but alas it is not there, oh well...... Life is extremely busy, just plugging along. You guys are the absolute best, I enjoy spending time with each of you and look forward to seeing and hearing from everyone. Love, MOM

Thanks Marie, loved your post.... keep it up!

I really like it here so far and its not too cold either. Church was nice yesterday, and my roommates seem fun. My house is cute and my bedroom is orange : ) We walked down to the river yesterday, and took some nice pictures of downtown which is just across the river. Gorgeous. Today, I just relaxed most of the day. I was watching Corner Gas to try to catch on to the Canadian culture. Around 3, I went on a run to the river. I tried to run across the U of A campus, but got trapped behind some construction and the boy who gave me directions got me more stuck. When I got to the river, I ran down a muddy hill into the park. I decided I wanted to touch the river...a silly plan at best. The hill was steep and covered with leaves, but slippery/muddy underneath. Nevertheless, I made it to the river after falling and getting quite muddy, especially my shoes. Also, the banks were covered in snow. It was very pretty. I'll go back sometime, but it was a little long for a daily run. The job hunt begins tomorrow, so wish me luck. Love, Marie

P.S. I sent you invites so we can each post under our own names

Carmen came by this evening, she is going to keep Kent. She says there is a 50% chance she will be sending him away to a camp in Utah, so I guess we will see. Pray for them, and Pam's family and Juliett's and US!!!!!!!

MOM TRYING NOT TO BE TOO NERDY

Hello my family dearest...... I will be checking this blog everyday so write about what you are doing....okay? I am being a nerd and doing one paper tonight, checking my email to see if my other paper comes back, if I get a B in the class I am not redoing it. On Sunday I am doing progress reports for my 2/3 kids..... so there - - - next weekend no class !!!!! I will be sleeping in. Marie is on the plane to Canada, she is going to have an awesome adventure!! BE HAPPY CTR!!!!!

Marie and Matt be chillin'

Yo, 'dis is Rie here. Mattat be sitting by me. We went stomping round town this morning. Actually, twas just a jog. Turns out he's a pretty quick little bugger. We stopped by Carmen's for some water. Hopefully that doesn't end up ruining yo momma's life. I'm moving to Canada today, this very evening as a matter of fact. And I think I will be making decorative rocks this summer. What a weird job to have. I just spelled weird wrong and Matt reprimanded me. He's kinda ocd I believe...but I love him anyway, well maybe I do. Matt's muscles are getting even bigger. P.S. Molly means nothing to him. Kinduv a playa, eh? I did an abdominal assessment on him last night and his abs are like rocks. So, being in California brings out the foo' in me. I bet I said it like 20 times to Matthew in the last 2 days. Oh well, I'll grow up soon. I was talking to Mom today and she said she'd be ok being a grandma before she's 50. I think she really is trying to marry me off so I stop coming around.

I really hope this blog was a just for fun, and not a formal, try to sound eloquent think. Because, I can do that but it takes several hours and I probably wouldn't participate. I already feel unparticipatory not spending the summer with ya'll, but I think I will have fun and you should all be jealous. If you get too jealous, you can just come live with me k. Love you lots, Marie

Test

Hey, this is Christine. I just created this blog, and I wanted to post a test blog just to see how things worked. Hope you are having a wonderful day!
