Jason and Nicole!

Unlucky Corner

2009-11-20T23:05:00.000-08:00

Not much of an update, just something I found a bit funny. So its another late night. Nicole is the one sleeping this time, and I am just getting ready to fall asleep myself. Just finished watching the office on hulu, it was just around 1:30am, and right as I was getting all snuggly in bed, I hear a very loud truck outside. Its not uncommon. For whatever reason, everynight I hear one truck driving by thats very loud and at very late hours of the night. So I thought nothing of it... That is until I heard very loud crunching noises. At first I was a bit panicked, until I heard a car alarm go off. At this point I was relieved, because my car does not have a car alarm. Nicole was woken from the ruckus outside, and jumped to the window. I shortly followed her. We pulled up the blinds only to see a very large usmail truck, way to big to be driving down a small residential street. He clipped a car on the opposite side of the street trying to make the turn. In the process, that car smashed into a car behind it, and that car into another, causing a giant chain reaction.

Nobody was hurt, and my car is okay. But the people accross the street weren't as lucky. But I guess that all depends on how you look at it. It was a US mail truck that did all of the damage, so I'm sure everything will be covered.

I need to find a new parking place before something like this happens to us...

Its been a long time

2009-11-05T19:17:00.000-08:00

Okay, i know there are a TON of pictures, and I have a few more I am going to add of the dogs at the beach, but its been a long time since we've updated.

We wanted to go here to take pictures a few weeks ago, but due to lots of random stuff happening at the wrong times, we ended up going like last week. By then, alot of the leaves already fell from the trees, but it is still really pretty.

School and work is going very well for the both of us, and I know in mid january i will be visting the family in nevada. Nicole will be able to come with me hopefully.

Enjoy the pictures!

Edit: I didn't want to use the blog uploader because it fails and takes way to long, so i used photobucket. The pictures are cut off : ( so you have to click on them to see them... Sorry

I hate people

2009-09-20T22:46:00.000-07:00

So its sunday night. I had a very long day. Worked from 8-4, came home and had to make a dish using this new starbucks product called via, took the dogs to the park, and had to be back at work at 7 for a 3 hour and 45 minute meeting, which got out at 10:45pm or so. I was tired, annoyed, and ready to go home and chill.

I finally get home, and find that mark had parked on the street where i normally park, so I took his spot in the drive way. He did this because sometimes when I get off work and come home, I cant find parking because people accross the street are always throwing parties or whatever. So I thought that was pretty cool, and I almost parked right behind him on the street so he could move his car into the driveway, but figured it was to late and he wouldn't want to anyway.

So I come upstairs and talk to Nicole for a while. She was busy finishing up some studying for class tomorrow. At around 12:00 am I finally pass out on the bed after watching an episode of family guy. She is still going hard with the studying, when all of the sudden we hear this very loud skreech noise. At around 1am I awoke in a very confused state, not sure what was going on, when we heard this very loud crash. Nicole and I looked at eachother for a moment before she jumped up to look out of our 2nd floor window to see exactly what had happened. "Oh my god, someone just crashed into marks car(toyota highlander)," is what I heard next from Nicole. I jump out of bed only wearing my boxers to take a look, only to see this jackass back up, and speed off down the road.

Still in that confused state of just being woken up, I just followed her out of the room as she alerted her mother and mark. I ran downstairs in my boxers, forgetting to grab my clothes, wallet, or keys. I had every intention of chasing after this guy to get a license plate number, but I was to late. I ran back upstairs to grab some clothes, and ran back downstairs and outside. We examined the damage, and marks entire back left bumper was pretty much torn up, with shards of the run-away car sprinkled all over the street, sidewalk, and even the front lawn. Some guy walked out from accross the street and confirmed that what I saw was correct. It was a greyish-gold toyota corola. An SUV approached us slowly and he apparently lives down the street. He heard it all the way from his house and was lucky enough to go outside in time to see this jackass drive by and he got his license plate number.

The police finally showed up, and with good news that they had found the guy and the license plate number was correct. The driver didn't have a license, which can only lead me to assume he has no insurance. I am sure mark's insurance will cover everything, and thank god nobody was injured.

Sorry if this was a bit long, but this all just happened like 30 minutes ago, and I am still a little wired after all of it. Time to try to get back to my sweet, sweet dreams.

Status update + Chili vs Bella.

2009-09-05T15:25:00.000-07:00

Its been a while since we've updated so I figured I'd let you guys know whats going on.

Nicole and I started school this week on aug 31st. We have both been very very very VERY busy. Working full time and being a full time student is pretty hard. I like my classes, but I am most likely going to try and get my hours cut down to part-time if I plan on surviving this semester. My manager told me I only had to work 32 hours a work to keep my full-time status, so I told her that was fine. She continued to give me around 40 hours a week though, so now I am just going to go part-time. I still get benefits so it really doesn't matter that much. Nicole is doing the same. She is getting transfered to a Petsmart that is literally a minute walk from where we are living, which will be really good. She is also going to part-time.

Nicole promised a video, so here it is. There isn't alot of editing involved because I have been so busy. It is fast-forwarded a bit because it is kind of repeatative and I cut alot out. It still may be a little bit to lengthy, but as long as you watch like half of it you will get the idea.

Enjoy! (blog uploader is to slow so here is a youtube link)

chili....a good big brother???

2009-08-18T17:14:00.001-07:00

who would've known. we all thought that when bella would want to play with chili, he would bit her or constantly snarl and growl, but i think chili is really starting to like this little puppy. and she definitely loves him! she's always copying what he does and she always jumps up on his head and he just lets her. they play together a lot and chili puts on a vicious face, but he won't bite her. he'll just lightly put his mouth on her and not actually bite down, or try and bite the floor. he'll also dive into the floor and roll over on his back and let her pounce on him. i have a few pictures, but we've also got a movie that jason is editing so we'll have that for you soon ;)

a new addition to the family....

2009-08-15T13:54:00.000-07:00

so....they're having a big adoption event at the petsmart down the street from our house and i wanted to take a look so my mom agreed to take me and we set off to look at these dogs and cats. terrible idea, i know. so we're looking around and we see some cute dogs, some mean dogs, ones that look like bears, and pretty much everything else. they must have had around 100 animals up for adoption. as we're making our rounds, we come up to this one play pen with 2 puppies in it. one puppy looked like some sort of rottweiler mix or something, and as soon as we set eyes on the other puppy in there, our hearts melted. i picked her up and we knew we had to have this puppy.

we walk up to the people working there and we say we need to take this puppy home and they look at my moms application and several minutes later and after several forms that needed signing, we got her!!! well, mostly my mom, but of course everyone else will have some sort of ownership over her.

she was found in georgia. she and a sister were left abandoned in the woods, but luckily they were found. they were too young to be nursed at the time, so they needed a foster mother to nurse them. she is 13 weeks old and she is a mix between a lab and a pitt bull, although she doesn't look like either. the people at the adoption place estimate that she will grow up to be about 45 lbs, a little larger than chili.

so here she is....we decided to name her bella :D

Yo!

2009-08-04T19:34:00.001-07:00

Congratulations, Jordan and Sammi!

not much of an update...

2009-07-13T12:20:00.000-07:00

but an update, nevertheless.

jason got a new phone! his number is 203-536-5706.

i dyed my hair again. the store didn't have red so i went for a reddish brown, but it turned out more brown than anything else. it's somewhat uneven right now but i will dye it again before the wedding so in case anyone is interested, you will have to wait until then to see it.

and chili got a new bone. he seems to be enjoying it thoroughly.

Income

2009-07-02T11:16:00.000-07:00

I got a job at starbucks.

The benefits are great, the people I work with are very nice, and its very busy so it goes by pretty fast. Thats pretty much everything thats been going on.

See everyone at the wedding.

Fun at the dog park

2009-06-14T15:26:00.000-07:00

My mom wanted us to post more pictures of us and chili. Most if its chili but there are a couple of us. Here they are

Chili playing with a nala look alike

Chili with some other dogs

Chili see's something and starts to prowl.

Chili pounces

Chili on the run.

Chili trying to be the alpha male.

Me gaining weight.

On the path to the water by the docks.

Almost there!

Chili pawing at the water... he hates getting wet.

Beautiful view.

Nicole and I.

Me and chili on our rock.

Chili is adorable.

Cool looking pathway.

We will try to update more, but stuff gets busy sometimes. Peace out.

some new stuff

2009-06-13T19:56:00.000-07:00

So....lately things have been fairly uneventful. I did get a job at Petsmart though. I get to groom dogs. It's a lot more work than I imagined, but the day goes by pretty fast and it's entertaining. So far i like it a lot, except for really squirmy dogs and having fur on my face and in my eyes all day. But along with a sweet store discount (including the dog trainer, which Chili will DEFINITELY be seeing once we get some money saved up) I get to groom Chili for free once a month. It certainly saves a mess and it seems like it would be a lot easier to clean him up with a groomer tub and a groomer table. Oh, one last great thing about this job is i get full benefits after 90 days. Other than that nothing else is new. Jason has gotten some job interviews, but he either didn't get a call back from them or the job ended up being something that just won't work out. But hey, good things come to those who wait...right?

It's been a while....

2009-05-31T17:22:00.000-07:00

Our last post was ages ago, so here's a long awaited update.

I know this is late, but congratulation to Jordan and Sammi on their engagement, we both wish you the best. And also congratulations to Linda and Terry on their adorable new family addition.

I'm sure everyone knows, but for those of you who don't, Jason and I have moved to Connecticut. Our drive here was very crazy, we got caught in the middle of a freak spring blizzard in Colorado.

Although it was scary at first, the anxiety melted away when we stopped and looked at the amazingly beautiful scenery. After Colorado we ran into more bad weather. It rained for pretty much the rest of our trip.
Chili made himself unusually comfortable during our journey.

When we arrived in Connecticut, the rain followed us and didn't stop until about 5 days after our arrival. Then, soon after that we went to Virgina to pick up my brother and move him back home after 4 years of attending Roanoke College. One night we were there my brother had one last performance with his school choir at a beautiful and very large church.

Now that we're more than settled in, we're preparing ourselves for returning to school and we're trying to find jobs. For such a busy town, there's not much available. We're applying everywhere and I have an interview on wednesday so hopefully we'll get lucky soon.

for sarah

2008-10-11T18:56:00.000-07:00

Well first and foremost I am going to provide some pictures of joshua, then i will go on with more about our trip. Here is our new beautiful nephew Joshua :P Some are a bit blurry, sorry.

Alright, now for pictures of our trip to New York, Washingtong D.C., and Connecticut.

2008-09-12T11:59:00.000-07:00

i know we haven't updated in a while, but there's really not much to say.

except this:

2008-07-22T15:46:00.000-07:00

ok so last night i was at work and a customer service manager comes up to me and she says "you're wanted in the manager's office." i get kinda nervous because i think i'm in trouble for a no call no show or for some absences or whatever. so i go to the office and the store manager bill and some other lady (i think her name was either shirley or shelley...) tell me to take a seat. and then shirley says "so. why do you think you'd be good for the photo lab?" so i ended up getting the job i really wanted!!!! i start the second. and the day before all this i called sarah and she told me to think positive about everything so as soon as i do, this happened :D

AND on top of that jason and i got our own car!!!!!! it's a 2005 honda accord dx. it feels amazing, it's super roomy, and jason says it feels amazing to drive. the steering wheel was a little shakey at first, but we got the tires rotated and now it's not at all. jason and i thank my mom so much for loaning us the money for this amazing car, and for spending so much of her time and energy trying to get us a car.

and i found some random pictures that i thought everyone would wanna see, so here they are.

here's one of jonas sleeping. i almost died while taking this picture because terry was asleep 2 feet away and i woke him up (oops :x). but it was worth it ;)

last thursday and saturday jason and i were in vegas looking for cars and we had about an hour or 2 to watch the twins while jeremy and sarah went to a doctor's appointment. i got a few good pictures of them

elijah has some good poses
she is just too adorable
i even let the twins take some pictures and this is what elizabeth did :)

this picture of elijah was taken a looong time ago. his face is priceless

this was after the reel big phish concert. jason was so excited about that drumstick that he caught

and this is chili just being chili

4th of july and other stuff

2008-07-13T12:56:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since we've posted, sorry. I am going to make this a quick one filled with very amazing and cute pictures from the 4th. Also some cute ones of chili. I (Jason) am starting school at the community college here in mesquite this fall to get my gen ed out of the way, then transfer to vegas. Also we are buying a car on friday, I am excited :P

Anyway, here are the pictures for your enjoyment.

Chili playing the computer

Elizabeth isn't so sure she made the right choice by attending the firework show

Here are a bunch of pictures of Elijah finding the flash on the camera hilarious.

Elizabeth is still having doubts, and Elijah may be drunk.

The best picture of Elijah ever, can't say the same thing about Jordan

The fireworks finally start. Elijah kept saying "oh my goodness!" I sadly was not there until about halfway through the show because I was stuck at work. I missed out on all of these pictures but I can pretty much get what was going on by looking at them.

Jonas, Chili, and all other things

2008-06-09T10:15:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since we last posted. It is usually Nicole doing these things but she is at work and I am up anyway so I decided to give it an update. First off I would like to apologize that the links to all of your blogs are broken on our page. Nicole was messing around with some new templates and it got lost somewhere and frankly I am to lazy to fix it right now.

Nicole got a job as a cashier at the wonderful world of Wal-Mart. It isn't full time, but anything is better than nothing right now. They are cutting everyones hours at Wal-Mart here, and wont be hiring full time until fall. We really don't care to much at the moment, just trying to get ourselves a car right now, and hopefully we will be able to find better work sometime in the near future. Besides our schedules being totally conflicting, all is well :).

Chili is 9 months old now, and we decided to get him neutered. Nicole and I called the 2 local vets to get some prices, and found one for 130 dollars(or so we thought). There was one ten dollars cheaper, but this place asked a lot more questions and seemed more thorough so we decided to go with them. This last Tuesday we took him in to get the operation done. We dropped him off, they told us to pick him up around 3:30-5:00. I called the vet after I dropped Nicole off at work around noon to check on Chili, and they said all was fine and I could get him at 4:00. I had a feeling that something was up so I asked again how much all of this is going to cost. The price magically changed to 152 dollars. 22 dollars might not seem huge to most, but to us its a lot. I was pretty angry and when I went at 4 to get him I asked what had changed. They said 130 was just an estimate, which I say is BS because they asked me all of his specs (breed, weight, age) and then gave me the price. I got it down to 145, but still only paid 130 and had to sign some promisary note. They told me he isn't allowed to lick himself for a week and a half, and no rough playing or running around. After I got home I spent the rest of the evening repeating "No chili!" A couple days later he was acting really weird. He would walk really fast for like 2 seconds and just sit down, so I called the vet. They had me go in to give me a cone for his head (which they should have given me in the first place) because we couldn't stop him from licking himself. That plus some pain meds was another 25 dollars. Safe to say I am going to the other vet form now on. Chili is barely 20 pounds ant it took 4 nurses to put his collar on. I have never seen a more accomplished look on anyone after those nurses got it on him, they were so proud of themselves. Chili lets us take it off and put it back on with ease when we let him eat/drink.

Anyway, now for a bunch of pictures from Jonas to chili before and after pictures. Love you all

pics!

2008-05-17T20:02:00.000-07:00

so a new camera battery charger finally came (i have no idea where my other one went) so here are some pics.

chili keeping jason company while he sleeps :)

here are quite a few from the mesquite days fair. jonas got his face painted

and he had fun on lots of rides

jason played some games with him

we went through the fun houses and linda was actually the one that took this one :P

jason's face is priceless

and then after the fair jonas was playing with all his new toys in the back yard and he was being silly

his "big muscles"

i have no idea why jason always makes weird faces in pictures

jonas loved having those leaves on his ears

doing it best

2008-05-16T11:51:00.001-07:00

so....yesterday i went in to take the do it best tests. the first one we only had 1 minute to do and they gave a bunch of codes or label things with 6 letters and number and 5 choices underneath it and we had to circle the one that matched exactly. the second test we only had 5 minutes to do and there were maybe 10 word problems and 20 regular math problems (like 16x5). there were 18 people taking the tests including me, and only 6 passed including me. it's kinda sad that not everyone passed, it was really easy. and if i could pass with leaving several answers blank and with most likely making stupid silly mistakes due to the pressure of being timed, i don't see how anyone could fail those tests.

and then after that i had to take this personality test that was not timed, but it had the most rediculous questions i've ever seen. on one part there were sentances that we had to finish with 3 choices, but we had to distribute points to each of those answers and the points had to equal 10. for example one of the questions was

i work....
hard
fast
smart

so now i have to wait for them to send in and get back my personality test. i should be getting a call for interviews in about 2 weeks :)

aside from that, i finished knitting my first hat. it looked terrible. it was about 10 sizes too big for jason's head. but i just finished knitting another hat today and it turned out so much better :)

!!!

2008-05-10T12:54:00.001-07:00

Happy Birthday Linda :)

thursdays are great

2008-05-08T12:19:00.000-07:00

sorry sarah and jeremy that you can't find out the sex of the baby utnil tomorrow! but the good news is jason got a job. unfortunately he has to wake up at 4am for the next 2 weeks. hopefully soon enough i'll find a job of my own.

until then, knitting is a fantastic way to pass time.

obsessions + maybejob?

2008-04-22T11:14:00.000-07:00

so...i just read sarah's post on obsessions and it was really cute, and that picture of the shirt was so silly but i would probably do the same thing. and reading that post also made me realize one of my weird obsessions: i HAVE to have the same amount of shampoo and conditioner, otherwise i go nuts and use an excess amount of one to make them even.

other than that, jason had a job interview this morning for some delivery company and he said it went well. i hope he gets the job!

and speaking of jobs, i get really angry when i go to walmart and see NO ONE at the photo lab. that's the job that i want more than anything and people who know nothing about photo can get it but they don't even call me for an interview :( and then the person that's supposed to be there isn't. sorry for complaining, i just think that's really stupid.

Stupendous

2008-04-16T13:00:00.000-07:00

I decided that there aren't close to enough pictures of Nicole on our blog, so here are a few that i conjured. (click in enlarge)

my mom came the 11th and left yesterday and we saw a lot of stuff and we had tons of fun. here are some photos from the trip :) (there's quite a few of them!)

i put these pictures on from photobucket because the blogger image uploader takes forever. but then the blogger format cuts of some of the images, so to see the full image on some of them you're going to have to click on them. the ones that have been cut off will show the blogger border cut off as well

2008-03-13T10:24:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been a while since we've posted anything. Nicole arrived safely on sunday morning, and everything is going great. She loves it here in Mesquite, as does Chili. He is not used to being able to run around so much, and he is really wearing himself out. He is not sure what to do with himself. Nicole forgot her camera, but her mom has sent it so it should be arriving soon so we can take some pictures for you all to look at. Once we get the camera we will post more often, and we are really excited about it : ). This is short but I wanted to let you all know we haven't died or anything :P

Never a Dull Moment

2008-03-03T12:28:00.000-08:00

Well alot has been going on in the past week with our lives so I decided it was time to update this bad boy. Nicole will be arriving in Las Vegas on Sunday morning and I have never been this exciting in my entire life. We have decided to move to mesquite with my parents for a few months to save up enough money to get our own place there. We both like the small town setting better and there won't be any issues with Chili this way : ) I am thrilled we got everything worked out and everything is starting to come together. None of this would be possible without the tons of help we are receiving from my family, I don't know what I would do without all of you. Thank you so much <3

and last night my cat was out all night and today he's sleeping so heavily so i took some pictures and decided to post them for sarah since she loves cats :)

click them to see more detail :D

:(

2008-02-26T17:28:00.000-08:00

so it turns out that i can't bring chili into the house that jason's living in now. i have no idea what to do :(

5 hour energy? pffft....

2008-02-24T16:59:00.000-08:00

So yesterday my Jeremy, Sarah, Elijah, and Elizabeth came over around 11 am to pick me up to go chill for the day since they were going to be in my part of town. I went with them to frys and stuff, then they bought me an amazing lunch at chili's. I went with them to their house to check out their new tv and xbox 360, which was amazing. We hung out for a while before going over to Shawn's and hung out there for a while. We left around 7 pm and they took me up. Now I woke up around 9 am and had work last night, and so I stopped at a gas station on my way to work to pick up one of those 5 hour energy things, figured I would give it a shot. The roads were covered in rain which made the ride to work kind of scary, but i managed. After I was at work for 3 hours, I decided to take the shot of 5 hour energy. I only expected it maybe to last 4 hours or so, but once I only have an hour left I am awake anyway. I am pretty sure that what I experienced was the closest one can get to taking speed. I couldn't sit still, I ended up reracking all the weights in the entire gym. The energy only lasted 2 and a half hours, after which I felt like a zombie and I was in a terrible mood and had no idea what was going on. It says no crash on the bottle... It's lying to you. To top things off it was terribly windy when I was riding home, but I made it home before the rain : ). QQ more amirite?

this was a good week

so i went to a doctor yesterday for the 3rd time for this ear infection that i've had for 2 months now. turns out, it's not a regular bacterial infection, it's some fungal infection which is why those giant antibiotics i took before weren't working. just my luck to get a fungal infection, right? so now i have to use these ear drops that are a mixture of vinegar and steroids and when i put them in it feels like my ear canal is on fire and then that whole half of my face smells like vinegar for hours. but at least this thing is going to finally go away :)

and today i woke up and opened my blinds and i see my streets and neighboring houses completely coated with snow! and apparantly it's supposed to continue snowing until tomorrow. i took chili to play in it in our backyard, but he kept crying to go back inside :P he's not used to the snow.

this is the view of similar condos from my window, sorry for the screen in there =/

Last night I was riding my bike to work like any other night that I work. I was just pedaling away, doing the usual dodging of broken glass bottles that seem to be all over Las Vegas streets. I was just about to turn into the neighborhood that I cut through on the final stretches of my journey to work, when a cop passes me. I didn't think much of it at the time, but the thought of him pulling me over for some dumb reason was lingering in the back of my mind. Sure enough, right after I turn into the neighborhood and I go over the first speed bump, I notice bright car lights at my back. Next came the spot light, followed by the cop car lights flashing away. I pull over to the side and the cop hops out of his car, informing me that I dont have a light on my bike. I told him I was aware of this and asked him what he wanted me to do. He asked what I was doing, I told him I was simply on my way to work. He thought I was lieing because I was going through this neighborhood. He asks "You think you're smart or something? You sure you aren't just trying to duck me?" So i unzip my hoodie so I could show him my uniform, and I told him he was going to make me late. After thinking for a moment, he decided to release me.

I wish this cop would have been around on saturday when I was riding to work and some idiot decided it would be hilarious to through a glass beer bottle at me while driving by. I'm just glad the cops can find time with all the actual crime going on in the world to make sure I'm being a good boy.

Nicole and I decided to make a blog! I don't know how much credit I should actually even be taking, considering she will pretty much be doing everything when it comes to the template, which pictures to put up, but I will help as much as I can. It will be alot easier when she finally gets here, but we will just have to wing it until then. I cant even begin to tell you all how excited I am about her coming to vegas. It is going to be amazing. This is where it all got started :P

This is the beautiful Nicole
