The latest scoop

Well...a lot has happened to the Hubbard family in the last few weeks.

Shane started his new job yesterday. He says he thinks that he will really like it once he gets to know the plant and the other employees. When you're an industrial electrician there is an incredible amount of time and energy that must go into learning about the various machines and equipment that they use. It definitely isn't changing light bulbs. These machines are huge. Shane showed me one of the fuses from the plant where he used to work. It was the size of a two liter bottle of pop! Sometimes it scares me to think of shane working on equipment that big..but I know he is really careful. Now that he is in Soda Springs during the week I miss him like crazy....I can't wait until May!!!

About two weeks ago we went to the Hubbard snowmobile party. They have one every year. My father in law had an accident. He was leaning into a turn when suddenly the snowmachine flipped. It went end-over-end three times and traveled about 100 feet. Lucky he wasn't hurt. Shane nearly had a heart attack though. He was on the other snowmachine and came up over the hill just in time to see his dad go flying and the snow machine flip over and over. I'm just glad that nobody got hurt or worse.

A few days after that I was sound asleep in bed when all the sudden the bed started shaking. I was like "what the heck?"...when it dawned on me that it was an earthquake. It only lasted a few seconds, but it was the first one that I remember feeling.

I also got to meet my brother's girlfriend/potential fiance. I hope it works out for them. She is the nicest girl and fits my brother perfectly. He deserves to be happy and has waited a long time for this to happen. I guess to everything there is a season.

School is still going on as usual. I am getting ready to take the Praxis II exam...YIKES! Wish me luck.

More fun stuff-I hope it's fun for you to read!

You and your significant other

How long have you been together?
We met almost five years ago, but officially dating we have been together almost three years. Our first date was July 4, 2005

How long did you date?
One years and two months. We got married on September 23, 2006

How old is he?24. I am older by 7 months...which he continually likes to rub in.

Who eats more?
Shane! He's funny when he eats. He will eat until he is full and then he walks around for a while so that he can fit more food in his stomach. Sometimes I wonder where he puts it all.

Who said "I love you" first?
Shane did. I wanted to say it first, but I wasn't going to until he did.

Who is taller?
He's 6'1" and I'm 5'7". Do the math.

Who is smarter?
We are both pretty smart.

Who does the laundry?
I do.


Who does the dishes?
We both do, but I prefer it when I do them because when he does them he never puts things away where they go and I can never find anything.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
I do by default. Our bed is pushed into the corner against a wall. The right side is against the wall. Shane has to get up first...so it's just easier for me to sleep against the wall.

Who mows the lawn?
Shane does. Our lawn mower hates me.

Who cooks dinner?
I do. Shane works so hard that I feel like it's my wifely duty to cook dinner. but he has cooked in a pinch.

Who is more stubborn?
Now this is a serious toss up. I would say we are both stubborn.

Who kissed who first?
Shane kissed me first...but I was working pretty hard to earn that first kiss.

Who asked who out?
This is kinda funny. Our friend Lance (who introduced us) came into the store I was working at and said that Shane wondered if I wanted to do something on the 4th of July. At this point we hadn't seen or talked to each other in two years. So Shane did, but through a friend.

Who proposed?
Shane. We had gone to the mall to look at rings and so I knew it was coming, but didn't know when. One day he showed up at my apartment and told me that I wasn't going to be getting my ring for at least six months. I was bummed but trying not to show it. Then we were sitting there and I felt something in his coat pocket..He got down on one knee and I got all excited like any girl would when she thinks she's going to be proposed to....he pulls out the item...and it is his......car keys! I was really mad at this point. Shane then wanted to go for a walk along the canyon edge but I didn't want to go because I was really mad at him for tricking me. I eventually gave in and we went for a walk. We get to this one spot, and he asks me if I'm nervous and I said that I was...then he said that he knew it was because I was waiting for this....he pulls out a box and I do a double take. At first I didn't think much of it because he said I wasn't going to get the ring...he had the ring the whole time!!!!! The jerk. Anyway it all went well and I said "YES".

Who is more sensitive?
It's definitely me. I can cry over anything. If I get mad I cry, If I'm sad I cry....

Who has more friends?
We both have several close friends.


Who has more siblings?
exact same amount. two.

Who wears the pants in the relationship?
We both wear pants...haha!

Apparently I'm having issues + Life




First of all...today has been a bad day. On my way to work this morning some guy hit my car. So the day started off fabulously! NOT!!! Then I go to the dentist and I have three cavities. Yeah for me. If you guys don't already know...I am very sarcastic so don't take my ranting and raving personally..ok..


Shane got a new job. We are finally getting the heck out of Twin Falls!!!!! No offense Sara ( I love ya)...but I do not care for Twin Falls. I want to go back to the middle of nowhere which is what I'm used to. Smalltown girl stuck in the city...doesn't mix well. Anyway we will probaly be living in Grace. We still have details to figure out.


Anyway..now I'm rambling...the reason I am apparently having issues is that I forgot to post pictures.

I finally have a blogspot!!!

My friends...okay natasha...have been telling me forever that I should get a page...so now I have one...yippee. I will try to post pictures....as of right now the only "family" pics I have are from my wedding. Shane is extremely camera shy. Hopefully this blog isn't too boring.
