A Bunionectomy = Vacation?

The Yes and No feet. They had me write which foot was getting work done so they didn't do the wrong one!


So If you think I've just been laying around these whole four days after a bunionectomy, you are probably right. I have been. But here are some shots of my grand old time in the Premier Research housing for healing patients. haha. and torture.

I've been pretty bored, so I've watched every season finale on tv, which have been many. The first one was the Dancing with the stars semi-finals. Where Ty and Chealsea got kicked off, leaving my 3 favorites for the finals, Shawn Johnson, Melissa

(from the bachelor), and the very very very sexy Gilles.
24 was also amazing and very intense as always.

Then tuesday brought the 3 hour season finale of The Biggest Loser, and guess what? i totally called it. Helen won and I knew she'd win. She looked so skinny!!! It was amazing season, everyone should go checkout the before and afters. AMAZING!!! Jerry, the oldest contenstant won the at home proze of $100,000 dollars because he lost 45% of his original body weight and he's 74! He was only on campus for 2 weeks,and the first day he passed out in the gym. What an inspirational story.

Then weddnesday brought the best Finale's of the seasons. America's Next Top Model and LOST! Wow, both very amazing. ANTM was in my hometown of sao paulo, brazil with a fantastic runway show an photoshoots. Teyona won, and I was a little disappointed since Alison kind of grew on me, but they were both beautiful. I can't even begin to explain LOST, because that's what I was, LOST. It was crazy and intense as always, and with the drugs I was on, it was even crazier. HA!

Today is the office finale, which i'm stoked for, then parks and recreation! Since I couldn't walk for 36 hours after surgery, I stayed busy with my tv shows, but i also kep busy eating yummy food from Kneaders Bakery and any snack you could ask for.

Anyway, I can't say its all been gumdrops and roses, a bunionectomy is pretty painful. but I have lots to look forward to going home to such great friends and family who have been supporting me all along! Love you guys!!!

School's out for SuMMeR!!!

Tiny House Bedroom - Hand Rendering
Tiny House Kitchen - Max Rendering

So School's out, which is amazing! here are some projects I turned in towards the end of the semester!


This is an animation we did of our tiny house. It's not great considering we learned how to use the program in one class period. But its about 30 seconds and took 36 hours to render!!!

So As I don't think I've mentioned before, I got into the Interior Design Studio at Utah State. I was so proud of myself, considering I didn't think I would make it. They only took 19 students, if not less. Anyway, I'm just taking in all the summer I can since next year will be really hard and super busy, but bring it on!

SPRING TIME









Spring feel like it has finally come to Logan! After a couple of weeks of heavy rain it was time for housework, yard work, lawn care, BBQ's, demolition derbies, and rock climbing.  

I love spending time outside so first thing on my list was a patio, sprinklers, and grass. With the help of Devin and a huge help from my hard-working wife the patio and fire pit turned out pretty sweet. Anyone is welcome to come and roast a mallow when you see the fire going. 
Jessica also persuaded me to make shutters on our front window. I had to take down the mailbox and we found a big hole for the original mailbox slot that lead into the home. So Jess and I made a new address sign to place over the hole and our mailbox is sitting on the front step and the mail man hates it. We received a note yesterday from the mailman that read, "please fix mailbox!" its still on the step. 
Bella is huge and a hand full. The potty training is good, we just have to run as fast as we can when we hear her wiper at the door to go out or else its too late. Between the nipping, chewing shoes, or chewing on Jessica's wedding ring its been fun to have her around. 

It's Mothers day and I just wanted to give a little tribute to Marilyn and Ieda. 
Thanks for the love and support Jessica and I have received from you two. We couldn't do it without you two! I know I have been a hand full with both of you, I figure that Marilyn had it coming, but Ieda didn't deserve it from me, just Jessica. 
It is funny to see how much children are alike to their parents even though sometimes we try or don't want to be. It is something that we may never get rid of. I always see little pieces of Ieda in Jessica and Jessica always sees little bits of Marilyn in me. Like when I over decorate the Lemonade. 
We love you and hope you realize that we have the best Mother & Mother in-laws ever! Thanks for showing love to Bella we will need a babysitter in December when we are in Brazil!
