Hello friends and happy Easter

Hi I hope you all had a great Easter. Mine was the bomb.com. The Easter bunny came for a visit gave us some bomb gifts this year. For the past year, Nathan has been talking/hinting at getting
a Mini Mac and using our tv as a giant monitor for it. 

So I went to the Apple store and told them I was getting my husband a new computer for Easter and the guys working there asked what I did for him for Christmas. I only get these big presents when when he begs for them for a year! Nate's face lit up like a Christmas tree when he got his Easter basket and his present for me was just as good.
Nathan gave me the coolest present, tickets to the M. Ward concert in Tucson! If you don't know who M. Ward is, he is an awesome rock and roller, and one half of the band She & Him with Zooey Deschanel (The girl from Elf), but this concert was just of him.  It was a great concert all of the songs were perfect. It was well worth the two hour drive and battling all of the drunks that were there for the Campus Club Crawl. I highly suggest you check out some M. Ward!



Also, I wanted to share with you one of our current obsessions.

Speaking of Mac Awesomeness....

Ok I don't know how to embed YouTube videos, but if you have the time and curiosity and love for Macs, then you'll want to check out this sweet video! 

My Computer is a Light Saber.

I just downloaded this awesome application for my computer that makes light saber sounds whenever my computer moves! I'm having a little trouble blogging about this Mac awesomeness because Nathan keeps trying to fight Ewoks with my laptop. The download is free from this website. I will try not to let my MacBook fall to the Dark Side.

Vacation

I know what you're thinking, sheesh this lady loves blogging, but I need your ideas!!! Come summertime, we are completely burnt out and need a vacation!!! So i am soliciting your ideas for an awesome cost effective vacation for me and Nathan. 

Hello Friends

So after weeks of looking 24/7 I have a new job. I don't know why I was stressing, but that comes with having OCD. I applied for probably hundreds of jobs and have come up with a couple options that will be great for our little family. I want to say thanks to all my homies for the good words of encouragement and help and want to especially thank Nathan for giving me the option as working as his Love Slave if I didn't find a job. 

Interviewing was a lot of fun and I am going to enjoy working with other grown humans who can respond with words when I talk to them, getting dressed up in fancy clothes and having a normal schedule. I am going to miss paid nap time, going to work in sweats, doing my homework at work and taking Nathan to work with me, but its all for the best. 

Darcy. Out!

how has a crappy economy effected you?

If you are like me two months ago, you probably thought the economy wasn't that bad. Ignorance is bliss! I have had to learn about our country's troubled times the good old fashioned way, by getting laid off! Not by one, but by two jobs! Storables is closing and my nanny job will continue only until I find a new job. I am just throwing this out there so if anyone knows of any place that is hiring I'd love to know.

Long Time No Blog...Again

So I know a lot of you might have thought Nathan and I have left the blogosphere for good but alas we've been here all along and stalking your blogs. Here are some things that have happened lately.

  1. I picked up a second job at a store called Storables, which specializes in home organization. It's not very glamorous, but the benefits of a huge discount and getting to work with other grownups  (as opposed to babies) makes it all worthwhile. 
  2. My birthday was last week and it was fabulous. Nathan made me my favorite cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory, White Chocolate Raspberry, and he totally kicked Cheesecake Factory's trash. The man's a genius in the kitchen.  
  3. We put an offer down on a house woot woot! Its the perfect little place and has lots of charm and is located in the ward we currently illegally attend. Hopefully the bank just wants to get rid of the thing and won't give us the runaround. 
  4. We're in charge of dessert at the Parrish Christmas dinner, so Matt and Christie let us know if you have any requests!
