sorry for not updating...

It is so hard to get used to blogging all of the time. It is funny, i read a lot of other people' blogs, and i find myself getting mad at people that don't update theirs because i want to see what's new in their lives, and then i realize that i don't even update my own... whoops I will try to do better. So a lot has happened in the last little while! Me and Michael have been married a little over 3 months now! It is definitely very fun!
I got a new job the middle of June at Mountain America Credit Union as a teller. I love working there! The people i work with a very easy to get along with and I get to listen to grumpy people yell at me all day. Ok, not all day, but definitely at least once a day. Usually it is because they are charged for overdrafting their own account and somehow want me to feel bad for them and reverse their fees.
Anyway, Michael has been promoted as his job from what he calls a "powder monkey" to their full tim IT guy. He has set up the company's entire network and keeps it running smoothly. His boss is really nice and they love him there. His boss called him into his office the other day and offered to pay Michael's tuition if he would commit to working there for two years after he graduates. The good thing is that if he decides after he graduates that he doesn't want to work there anymore, he just has to pay the tuition back. So either way it is good.
We went to my family's family reunion the week of the 5th to Island Park, Idaho. It is a resort town about 15 minutes from Yellowstone. We had a blast doing tons of different activities, and just hanging out with the fam for the week.
Michael sold his white jeep and got a new black truck a little while ago. We decided that we really didn't need an SUV anymore because we have a car to haul people. He really wanted a truck so he searched for days until he found the one he wanted. It is a really cool truck, and he loves it!
We also added a new car to the mix. We decided to sell the Jetta and get a more fuel efficient car ;D We got a BMW 325xi. It is a 2002 and we got a really good deal on it, a deal that we just couldn't pass up!
Lucy is getting bigger and stronger everyday. Whenever we go on a walk, she pretty much drags us along with her. We have been taking her to puppy school once a week to teach us how to train her. She has learned several new tricks such as come, sit, lay down, stay, and leave it. She will leave her treat sitting there until we tell her she can take it. It's pretty cool. She is a really good dog. She is super smart and loves attention and playing in the big field behind our house. We also recently discovered a "dog park." Everyday at about 6 several dog owners take their dogs to a big park down the street. It is completely fenced in, so we just let the dogs play with each other and run around. Lucy loves it a lot. She is often found picking fights with boxers and big huge huskies 4 times her size! She is one brave little puppy.
Well i know this blog was very long, but i just thought i would give an update. I will post pictures on here a little later of everything i talked about. Hopefully I will be better and more consistent at posting things.
