Crazy, Silly, Robin.....

For the past few weeks, a bird has been "attacking" our house. During the morning and throughout the day, this robin will keep flying into our window. Andy and I googled this and found that often times, robin's a very territorial and will see their reflection in the window. As a result, they will attack. It then listed suggesstions on how to minimize the reflection to prevent the bird from attacking. The only thing that worked was taping newspaper to the window and it worked. However, it did not look very pretty. Now, we've borrowed our friend's fake owl and that seems to work. But we'll have a better idea when it gets sunny outside. Lately, it has been rainy and overcast. We'll just cross our fingers and hope that it works.

Anyway, I was working from home one day and the bird just kept "attacking." Since it wasn't too bright, I actually got a good video of it. I hope you guys enjoy it. :)

Busy Life

Everyone has a busy life and I feel like my life has definitely gotton a bit busier! Work is definitely been crazy because this summer is full of implementing the new electronic medical records at the different health sites that we work with. So, I have been busy with go-live, training, support, and finishing build for the other sites. The next implementation will be the first week of May. After that, we will be supporting two sites and will be getting ready for the next implementation. Crazy crazy!

Anyway, for school, after this class is done, I will have 5 classes left! YIPPEE!! I can't wait for school to be done. Once I'm done, I'll have lots of time to do my own stuff....:) I think I've probably been spending about between 15-20 hours on homework. Which isn't bad, but it leaves little time to do my own things. I am getting tired of school and sometimes wonder if I should just stop and not get my masters....good thing Andy is there to cheer me on. :)

Other then school and work, we have been slowly getting the yard ready. Andy's done most of the work so far but I've been able to help a little...I started cleaning up the dead plant stuff to let the new stuff grow. It's fun and it's nice to see things clean up. Definitely gives you a sense of achievement. :)

BBQ!!

So...it's been way too long since posting....I don't know if its because we are too busy or if its because I'm too busy..maybe both. :)

Anyway, the weather has finally warmed up and we have already had 2 BBQs at our house. On the 11th, Andy's co-workers came over for a housewarming BBQ party. They had been bugging Andy for a while and next thing I knew, we were having a BBQ. It was a lot of fun getting to know Andy's co-workers. We talked and played the WII and went to the park.

Yesterday, we had our friends come up for a BBQ. The weather was nice and the Massen's took the initiative to organize a get together. It was decided to have a BBQ at our house and play some games. The Whetten's came up and we also invited the McCammon's over. The McCammon's live close by and we are in the same ward. We have actually hung out quite a few times with them.

We all had a great time playing a pictionary taboo game and a game of Pandemic. It was great hanging out with our friends and chatting. We have really missed hanging out with everyone so it was the perfect way to spend the day and enjoy the nice weather. I am just glad that winter is finally over!! :)
