I really want to try THIS project. Seems pretty involved though so maybe in awhile. Need to find a good mirror to do it with.
How nifty does that look?!

Gross Stuff
One of the things I like about my job is the opportunity to see things you normally wouldn't. I get samples from universities and biotech companies all over the world to test. Some of these samples, to put it bluntly, are just plain gross.
I've had the opportunity to work with:
-Chunky human blood serum from cancer patients
-Human plasma from HIV patients
-Mouse boogers
-Mouse eye chunks (this one was particularly gross)
-Monkey boogers
-Endothelial cells from fetal umbilical cord veins
-Plasma from H1N1 patients
-Human lung tissue (this one was bad too)
-Human cell extracts from Tuberculosis patients
So now: Baby bodily fluids? No problem whatsoever. :)

Correlations
The length of time you are married correlates with how many children you have:
How many children you have correlates with how much STUFF you have:
How much stuff you have correlates with how many boxes must be packed:
How many boxes there are correlates with how much man power is needed to move said boxes into a larger apartment:
Moving to larger apartment makes more room for more children:
More children means more STUFF:
To move again to larger house/apartment:
Until eventually, you have reached the ideal amount of children and you have all the STUFF your heart desires and hopefully you don't ever have to move it!
(We're packing... if you couldn't tell! We used to be able to pack up our apartment in two days. I think those days are gone... at least it's for a good reason. :))

Thursday Thoughts (On the Right Day)
Found an apartment already! Having found one so quick for just a tad cheaper than where we are now (that is just as nice!) makes me much happier about moving. There are even a few couples from the ward, so it will be nice to finally have neighbors that will talk to us! I guess this whole ordeal was meant to happen; the last time we looked for an apartment it took a few months.
Frustrated with the salesmen at work. Every time a customer has a problem or a question, it's my fault. Which it isn't 95% of the time. Oh well.
Lauren has been so fun! She's grabbing onto toys and kicking everywhere. The other morning I found her turned a complete 180 and scrunched in the corner of the crib. For one that supposedly doesn't move she sure gets around!
Pretty sure if Bishop Reed opened up a dairy in Logan just our friends and family could keep it in business with all the chocolate milk we drink.
Found a fun pattern for cloth beach balls. Great way to use scraps and then you fill them with grocery bags so they crinkle! Can't get much cheaper than that.
Everyone living in Utah should always care two sets of clothes. One for 80 degree summer weather and one for freezing cold rain. Guaranteed you'll experience both in the same day!
Is there a good way to peel vinyl off the wall and keep it so you can reuse it?

A Vent
We're moving. I'm sad. The thought of packing again to move to ANOTHER apartment in a few weeks is overwhelming. The next time we moved I thought it would be into a house. This place feels like home; we've made it ours. I guess two years is too long for us to stay in one place for now.
Yesterday, our manager came to our door with a letter stating that our AMAZING deal through Chase's work was being drastically reduced therefore making us need to move. :(
Aw well. At least we're pro packers by now. :(
Goodbye Apt #4, Hello Apt #5!

Love a Good Deal
This one is for you Ambree...you would be proud. :)
What is the best shopping deal you've ever had?
Here's mine:
Went shopping with my mother-in-law to pick up a few things for Lauren since she's growing like a weed and currently doesn't have too many clothes that fit. We went to JCPenny since she had a $10 coupon. We picked out a little outfit and took it to the register and the cashier gave us a better coupon for $15 off at least a $15 purchase. Then my m.i.l. had the great idea to ask if we could use the coupon multiple times with different transactions. They said yes! So we proceeded to buy over $600 worth of stuff and only paid about $50!
We went back later that night to keep going. We figured this would be great to get Christmas and birthdays and what-not all taken care of. Come to find out, we weren't supposed to get that great deal and the cashiers weren't allowed to do that for us even though they checked with a manager! We just happened upon the right cashiers at the right time. Seems like there is a major communication lapse among the cashiers there. So if anyone wants to try it, let me know if it works for you! (You do have to sign up for their card though.)
