Public Transportation exposes you to the most interesting/agonizing people.

This morning on the bus there was a peculiar woman a couple years older than me, in her twenties that caught my eye.

A man and his 18 month old daughter got on the bus and instantly this lady started yelling "OH I LOVE CHILDREN!!!" "coochie-coo!!" to the child, proceeding to scare the father.

She then attempted to “play” peek-a-boo with the not-so-entertained/frightened child relentlessly for 5 minutes straight. In the meantime, I am trying not to pull my hair out while she yells BOO non-stop in my ear!

When peekaboo didn’t work the lady then tried to tickle the child. And the kid yelled NO to her then the man quickly got off the bus at the next stop.

Conclusions:

Don’t touch children when 1. They aren’t yours, 2. You don’t know them 3. When you are a crazy lady on a bus!

Krystina’s Reason: The Gorgeous 360 Views and did we mention the Views?!!

Kevin's Reason: We can take our dirtbikes from our garage and ride 2 minutes to a trail head and ride awesome single tracks in the mountains for hours!!

Well this is embarrassing.. the last time I blogged was in JANUARY (sad).
Last time we blogged I said we were "looking at houses".... HAH!

I am proud to say now that not only did we look at those houses, we loved one.. and then we bought it! A pretty house in Elk Ridge, UT 20 minutes south of Provo.

It needed/needs a lot of work, but the little things we have done on the house have made a world of difference. A before/After blog will be done in the near future.

Also.. I graduated from BYU! And Kevin got me a Dirtbike as a reward :)


BYU Broadcasting hired me full-time as a Production Coordinator, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Job! The girls I work with rock my socks.

We bought a car this weekend!
A beautiful 2008 Subaru Legacy.
It's MY car :)
Since we have been married Kevin got the WRX, the Bulletbike, and the Truck...
I patiently waited and finally got my reward.

We went to our friends Blake and Whitney Chamberlain's house on Sunday for a barbeque and to watch the Celtics vs Lakers game... celtics won Yipee! Right before we left their place a storm warning came on the TV, there was a CRAZY lightning storm! Here is a picture from that night that was on KSL News.



There will be more consistent blogging to come, I promise!
I am staring to ride the bus to work and i already have some good stories!

WOW! It has been a long time.
Updates..
1. We Still live in Provo, Utah
We are renting a duplex south of BYU campus that doesnt have a garage, so kevin uses our second bedroom as one. He literally has, and works on his Dirtbike in there! I love him so much :)
2. Krystina Graduates in April
She is a rare specimen that actually graduates in the normal span of 4 years! She is graduating in Exercise Science and wants to get a job working in a clinic or a health center.
3. Kevin got an AMAZING job in Salem, Utah
He is managing the factory for Neways International and they are going to pay for his graduate school! We are very exited for these blessings.
4. Because of reason 4 we are buying a house here in Utah in the VERY near future.
The house searching process is very tedious and SO stressful! But, the market is so great now in Utah and we want to take advantage of all the incentives available.
5. Krystina works at BYU Broadcasting, the coolest job ever!
At the sporting events they film Krystina job is the "Stage Manager" and yesterday at the BYU Mens Volleyball game against Stanford she was ON TV! The volleyball flew fast her face the the cameraman caught it on TV! During the instant replay the announcer Jarom Jordan said, and we quote, "Stanford hits the ball out of bounds and the ball fies past our stage manager Krystina Egbert!" HAHA. It was a fun experience and MY wife is famous!!!
6. No kids on the way ... YET!

That's it for now... we are going to look at houses now. BYE!
