Transition

Wow it has been a while since I have posted. Well, we have moved back to good old Utah. It's nice to be back but it was sad to leave Montana. I really liked it there. I even liked living with my in-laws, some of you are shocked but apparently you don't know my in-laws. (I really don't like the term "in-law" it just reminds me of all the tv shows where everyone complains about their in-laws so I'm just going to say Jason's parents) Living up in Montana was great. I didn't work, which was really weird for me at first, and then I got used to it again. I enjoyed being able to do what I wanted with my time. I loved not having to shower in the morning and then shower again when I got home from work because I smelled like a gross concoction of food. Not only that, but I got to know Jason's parents better and I am so glad. There is no way I could have picked better parent's for my husband. Anyways...

Right now we don't have the internet so we have to go to my parents house to get online. We are supposed to get the internet tomorrow so hopefully I can post pictures of our apartment!!! I will also tell you the story of the first time we saw the actual thing.

Sweetgrass!

Montana is a pretty nice state to live in. Not just because there are a lot of trees and a ton of Casinos!!! I'm not joking the Casinos here are like the Churches in Utah. They are on just about every corner. Although I'm too young to gamble, the majority of the Casinos are part restaurants too so we went and ate at a few of them. I was very skeptical of how the food would taste at first, but I gave it a try, and they were actually pretty good. I found that Montana has a lot of good restaurants. We went to a lot of different places. They have a pretty good asian restaurant, a mexican restaurant (that Jason LOVES), a few good pizza places, and an AMAZING sandwich place called Sweetgrass. It really is quite amazing! I probably never would have noticed the place on my own. It's like in Harry Potter, where only the people who know about it can see it. The inside isn't spectacular or decorated very nicely, but the sandwiches are just really good. They are also really BIG. Here are some pictures of my beloved sweetgrass.

Montana reception

I finally got some pictures from the reception up in Montana, so here are some pictures, I will post more later.

Oh Target!

Today I went to the wonderful world of Target. I really mean it, target is amazing. I went there to look around to get ideas of what things Jason and I are going to need for our apartment when we get back to Utah. As I was looking I found myself in the shoe section, so I figured I'd take a look, see if there were any good sales, and there were! I found a pair of really cute red flats for only 3 dollars!!!! The only problem was that they were a size 7, and I'm a 7 1/2. So I kept looking and I found the same exact shoe but in a cream color and in my size! For 3 dollars I would be an idiot not to get them. I continued my search for things that we would need and I realized we would need cleaning supplies, so I went off to the cleaing supplies aisle, and made a list of things that we needed to buy when we got to our apartment.
Once I was done with my list I walked past the scrapbook aisle to see if there was anything on sale that I "needed." I found some letter stamps that I can use over and over, and some paint to use with the stamps. All on sale!

MY BOOKS CAME IN THE MAIL!!!!!!! About two weeks ago I found this website called bookcloseouts.com and it has books for super cheap!!! So I bought three books, the total including shipping and handling was twelve dollars!!! I was on that website for about a week, looking at books and finding ones I thought looked good. I guess I'm just so excited that my books came, it's really great. Maybe it's because I love getting things in the mail, and I love books.

Scrapbooking...

While we have been here I have been "documenting" our wedding pictures... Aka: scrapbooking. Since I don't have a job up here I figured it would be a wonderful thing to do, it would give me something to do, enhance my creativity, and put all of our pictures together. I have also decided to put all of the cards we have gotten and put them in a scrap book. As of right now, I have completed 3 1/2 books. I have finished two full scrapbooks full of pictures and 1 1/2 books full of wedding cards.

My husband now calls it what I used to call it, S-CRAP-booking. I used to hate scrapbooking. I thought it was a waste of time, I didn't see what the big deal was. A few years passed and I stopped hating it, I didn't really have a stand on it anymore. So when my friend Holly told me she would help me make a scrap book for people to sign instead of a regular signing book for my reception, so I took her up on that offer. She took me to a few stores and showed me how to use some scrapbooking tools. I still didn't really care about scrap booking until she introduced me to the eyelet scrapbooking tool kit. It's this little kit with a hammer and other tools, and it is essentially a really neat holepunch. I loved it so much that after I got married I bought one of my own. I now have a little box that holds all of my scrapbooking things (except paper.) I'm really quite glad I got into scrapbooking. If I hadn't gotten into scrapbooking I would probably still have all of my pictures just sitting on the computer.

How Clean Is Your House?

I have just discovered the best show on television. It's called "How Clean is your House?" It's on BBC America. These two ladies show you how to clean your house and make fun of you while doing it. They also take samples from your house, and tell you what kind of "nasties" are growing. When they are finished teaching the person how to clean they kick you out and finish cleaning it. Then they sprinkle their special white powder to make sure that you are cleaning.
Honestly, they go into the dirtiest houses, it's really quite disgusting. My mother and aunt Annie would probably be as disgusted as these two women. It's really quite an amazing show. They teach you how to clean your house using special tricks, like putting vinegar onto animal urine to get rid of the smell.
Watching this show just makes me want to clean. I just want to start vacuuming, and disinfecting. We are staying at Jasons parents right now and there really isn't much to clean, except our room, and even that isn't dirty or messy. So I have this urge to clean and nothing to clean. I guess I could go wash the car if I really want to.
The episode that I am watching now is about a man who lives in Scotland and has two dogs. There is dog hair everywhere! I mean EVERYWHERE!!! It's quite nasty! This man has cleaned his house maybe once in 9 years!!!!! I really think I'm addicted to this show.

Some wedding pictures

Kind of a journal entry...

This morning we woke up planning on going to the 8:10 session at the temple, as it so often happens, we were running a little bit late, but we would have still made it but we got stuck behind two extremely slow trucks and no passing lanes. By the time we pulled in front of the temple it was exactly 8:09. We got pretty frustrated and tried to figure out what would be open at 8 in the morning in Billings, Montana... apparently, not very much. We ended up going to ihop and having breakfast, and then back to the temple. It was great, after going through I just felt so good. I had forgotten about all of my problems and stresses, and felt so amazing, even though I had been upset about not making the first session. I also think things happen for a reason, (which is why I wasn't too horribly upset about being late.) I think that since we were late for the first session there had to be a reason, such as we were supposed to be at a different session. Sometimes the reasons aren't significant enough for us to recognize them, and sometimes we just feel like we know the reason why some things happen. Anyways...

So I guess you could say I'm bored, or you could say... I don't know what else you could say, I'm pretty bored. I've been watching Law and Order since seven. I guess it's not that long. The second episode is one Jason and I have been wanting to watch for a few weeks. We saw the beginning of it and then had to go somewhere, and extremely fortunately for us it was on again tonight. As we were watching it Jason reminded me that he had ordered pictures from wal*mart online and they were supposed to be ready by 8:50, and the photo department closes at 9, which is also the time that our law and order was supposed to get over. We had a problem... I was thinking about what we could do so we could watch the show and also get the pictures. I thought we could download the Law and Order episode from itunes, so I looked it up but they didn't have it. Jasons parents were out at a store so we called them to see if they were anywhere near wal*mart, but they weren't. I asked Jason if he could wait until Monday to get them and he said he really wanted them. So I did the only other thing I could think of, I left the show and went to get his pictures so he could stay and finish the show. I seriously hope I can find a way to download it or get the show somehow because that was the second time I had to leave before it was over.

On a side note, when I got to wal*mart to pick up the photo's a yellow school bus pulled up in front of the store and about 20-25 men climbed out, they were all wearing either bright yellow or a dark colored shirt, it was pretty creepy.

The Start

This is the home of Jason and Shannon Langager.... Well, at least our new online home. Well... We got married on June 26, 2007 in the Salt Lake City LDS temple. Now we are up in Montana for the summer. We are going back to Utah on the 20th of August.
