day in the life...

so what do richard and becky do day-to-day. an average day consists of me working at teletech from 0600 to 1430 in bremerton. right now i am in summer quarter at oc. so, on tuesdays and thursdays i take an english class and i also do an online business class. fall quarter i will probably take another english class, recording techniques(mostly for fun), and a biology or math class. becky works at her dads law office as receptionist. anyways, when we both get home we have dinner together, which is usually macaroni and cheese or grilled cheese sandwiches. sometimes we actually cook something like soup or enchiladas, but not very often. after dinner is our scripture reading time, we are reading genesis. although since we have moved to this house we havent been very good at that, we'll do better, i promise. and then pretty much we play cards together or watch the office. we like canasta, idiot, speed, skip-bo(if you are uncultured these are card games bytheway). sometimes we invite penny and thomas over to play cards. sometimes we watch lost online, we just finished season 2. when we were in bremerton we were ward missionaries, so we would do stuff with recent converts and go out with the missionaries and stuff. oh, and if we have a good book we usually snuggle and read for an hour or two. but we dont have a good book right now to read, any suggestions?

The Crypt

We just moved into a house in Port Orchard that we are renting. It is probably the strangest house I have ever stepped foot in, but we thought that made it kind of fun. After moving all our stuff in, we realized we did not have hot water. WE then began the search for our hot water heater. It was no where to be found. We called the property managers, which were no help, and just told us to keep looking b/c they were sure we had one. Luckily Becky's parents live 5 minutes away and were willing to let us use their shower each morning for the next week. After 4 days of no hot water, the contractor came over to finish some work he had started before we moved in and I convinced him to help me look for the water heater. He hadn't seen it either. In our bedroom there was a board that covers about half of the main wall, nailed on to it. The contractor guessed that perhaps it was behind this strange board. We started pulling it off and found a door with a sleeping bag nailed to it (for insulation). We opened the door into a room full of sand and cement rubble. CREEPY. Our good friend Jessica was over with me and said "If there's a dead body in there, I am never coming over again." Well, the good news is that we haven't found any bodies and we found the hot water heater in the corner of this room behind the stairs. The room is filled with rubble and cobwebs and smells disgusting and is like unto something you would find in a horror movie or haunted house. I don't think I would have moved in if I had known about it. More bad news was that the hot water heater was gas powered (nothing else in our house is) and the pilot light was out, so we had to call to get service which didn't come out for 4 more days. So we had 8 days of getting up early to go to my parents to shower before work as well as 8 days of dishes to do and a couple loads of laundry. (the washer ended up being broken anyways, so it was a few more days before that happened)

Gummy bear

Tomorrow Becky has her first baby doctors appointment. We found out we were going to have a baby on June 28th. The approximate due date is March 2010. We are very excited. Richard thinks it is going to be a girl, which would be lots of fun b/c it would have some girl cousins close in age to play with. (We would be happy if it was as boy too though!)
