Bike Ride and other thoughts

Ben and I wanted to go for a bike ride today... it never happened. That's OK though we are set for the next time we want to go for a ride. The way the situation went it kinda reminded me of the book "If you give a mouse a cookie". We had to find bike riding outfits which can be difficult when it's colder outside because you don't want your pants to get caught in the chains. Ben ended up wearing my old dance pants with some of his shorts over them and I wore some cut off sweats that Ben has threatened to throw away ... LOL not going to happen. Then we had to find our keys and Ben's shoes which ended up being in the closet... Then one of the bikes tires were flat so we had to look for our bike pump...couldn't find it so we drove to my parents house to get their pump and by the time we got back home it was dark and freezing so no bike ride today BUT on a positive note we are so ready for the next time we want to go on a bike ride.

 

In other news Ben is thinking about trying to get into the police academy. I think he would really enjoy it and it's something he has talked about doing for awhile. He needs to take the NPOST test to be able to apply and probably wouldn't be able to get in until the fall or so. Right now he is working at IHC in the E.R on call and at 1800contacts and is waiting to hear back about a concrete testing job. He will be taking a math class at SLCC this semester and then he just needs one more math class to graduate with his Associates degree.He is also hoping to get into ji jitsu this year which I have kinda a hard time with but he'll be fine right? 

I'm trying to get into Weber State to take some prereq's for their nursing program. I'm sick of SLCC. I've gone their for to long and I feel their are better options out there. I like their online set up as well as well as they don't have a waiting list for their nursing program and since I already have my associates degree I have a better chance of getting in. However, one tiny setback I was planning on going this semester to Weber online I applied about a week and half ago and had SLCC send my transcripts but I haven't been accepted yet I'm supposed to know by tomorrow...school started this past Monday. Little stressed. My alarm actually went off the other day and Ben said I sat straight up in bed and said " Hi, I was just calling to check on the status of my application." and then I turned my alarm off. 

On a funny crazy note Ben almost got karate chopped in the face the other day. It was after we watched a movie where people broke into someone's house you know the kind anyways I was coming out of the bathroom and heard someone coming down the hall and just to be safe I karate chopped and ended up an inch away from Ben's face. Needless to say we both started laughing uncontrollably. He is so patient with my random "freak out someone's in my house who's not my husband" episodes. Like that time when we first got married and I got up to go the bathroom in the middle of the night and Ben didn't know he thought a pipe broke in the bathroom and told "me" who was not in bed that he was going to check on it so he opens the door to find me on the toilet with a shocked look on my face and he's even more shocked because he just told me he was going to check on the broken pipe. I started screaming for some reason and then there was a whole bunch of laughing to this day. Speaking of toilets and bathrooms I got told I was going to heaven at the hospital the other night for cleaning up some feces. Hope that didn't gross anyone out but it's nice to know someone thinks I'm going to heaven ya know. It's a crazy random life but ya gotta love it. 

We leave for Ohio Wednesday night for a few days. I'm so excited. I just found out my brother Jason is going to be able to come out as well so the whole famdamily will be together again. Ben's also never been out to Ohio so I'm super excited for him. 

I'm going to try and take more pictures this year if Ben will let me ;) He says they all look the same but just with a different background. That's just hilarious.
