TOO MUCH SNOW!!!!!!!!!

I have decided that if you enjoy living in snow...there is something wrong with your brain. I know Adam...you love it...BUT I CAN'T DEAL WITH IT ANYMORE!!! I am tired of being cold when I wake up in the morning and getting snowed on as soon as I walk out the door. I don't enjoy having to clean the snow off my car before I can drive it to work. (This morning Adam did it for me because he drove me to school. He also warmed the car up so it would be toasty when I got in). But that isn't the usual case. I just have decided I really don't like the cold. I am so ready for winter to be over and the spring and summer to come rolling in. I want to wear short sleeves and feel comfortable. I don't want to have to curl up under a blanket at home to stay warm.

Ok enough with the complaining, but I thought I would just let you know how I feel about this weather going on in Utah right now. We are getting snow like every other day (and sometimes 2 days in a row) for the next 2 weeks. Does it ever END!!!!

Adam is just excited because we just bought a snow blower for the apartment complex we manage and he gets to use it now instead of shovelling the snow. You have fun with that sweetie! I am just glad I don't have to do any of that period!

Christmas in New Jersey

We had a great time at Christmas in New Jersey with Adam's family. I haven't had a chance to put up pictures, or tell about our trip, so here goes. The trip started out interesting because we flew on the red eye and got there very early on Christmas Eve. We had a family come over that night to be with us at dinner. This is a Christmas tradition for Adam's family. They also do a talent show that night to get everyone to share their talents with everyone. We were only able to stay for 6 days due to work, but we had a great time. Christmas morning was so much fun and we were able to spend the morning with Adam's family, which we haven't done yet. This is our first Christmas Day with his family. Here are some pictures of the family opening presents. I also have a few pictures of the talent show night. Adam's brother got us all to do a musical thing that was really funny. We each had a whistle that had a certain pitch. Then there was a director that had music in front of them. The whistles played all these different tunes if we blew at the right time. It really was cute. But here are the pictures.

One word to learn...Emergency

Being an apartment manager with Adam, we have realized one very important fact. BYU students may have the reputation of being smart and whatnot, but I BEG TO DIFFER!!! We have a sign on our office door, and I also tell every person this statement as they are moving in...only call this number in case of EMERGENCY!!! I have given them Adam's phone number because we need to know if there is a REAL emergency, but no one seems to understand that.

To these really smart BYU students, emergency means the following
-I don't know how much rent I need to pay
-I just have a question for you
-I have a friend who wants to move into the apartments...can you help
-I have gone out of town and need to pay rent late, is that OK
-Our sink is clogged and we want it fixed
-Our toilet runs every so often and the noise is bothering us
-I want to sell my contract
-My car got towed (by a towing company that you guys don't control and can do NOTHING about. I parked without permission and have to pay the $100 to get it out, but I want you to take care of me (BOO WHO)!!!)

Since when are any of these EMERGENCIES!!!

I now have to put a note around for all the apartments to explain what an emergency is. Do they not understand that we have office hours every weekday, an office phone and answering machine, maintenance forms right outside the office. All of these things are for every ones convenience. If I am in my apartment enjoying a nice evening with my husband I am not going to be able to tell you how much rent you owe, if we have any openings and where, or whatever your issue is. That is what the office is for...CALL THERE AND LEAVE A MESSAGE!

Sorry for the rant, but I thought I would share with you all how smart our tenants are.
