To all I adore,
I had a wonderful first Christmas away from the rents. However, I did miss the family a lot and was jealous when Caden put on his Batman outfit I bought for him. It was good though. People stuck to "the list" this year and I got a majority of the things on it, so kudos to you all who bought me stuff I loved it. Anyways I just realized I don't feel like writing much so here is another empty promise of more to come.
Love and kisses,
Rick

what? a new post
To all those I adore,
Sorry I have been a craptastic blogger, but I just don't find much time to write anymore. Sorry. Anyways work is going well I am finished with training classes and have moved on to my qualifications. I have been doing real work for the past two months and have been taking some qualifications as well. So, what has occurred since my last entry, a lot.
Kailey and I took a trip to Salt Lake City. While there we toured the LDS stuff and it was pretty impressive. I said impressive not convincing ha ha. After touring the LDS part of downtown we went to an outdoor mall and walk around and ate lunch at Panda Express...mmmm orange chicken. After that we went to the planetarium and were going to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas in the IMAX in 3-D but it was not playing so we say something in the dome theatre instead. Kailey got a little sick but I enjoyed it. Later that night we had dinner that the Riddisou with my aunt Ladene, and let me tell you if you have not ate there you are missing out. After a fantastic meal and several hours of conversation with one of my favorite aunts Kailey and I headed back to our hotel. All in all it was a good get away and I am looking forward to the spring so we can go there more often.
Hmmm, what else, oh Thanksgiving. So Kailey had to work the day after Thanksgiving (she works at Wells Fargo now), so we really could not go back to Oregon because it would be a pain in the ass and not much fun. Instead we went to a co-worker/friends house and hand a giant feast with several other co-workers/friends. It was fun we (the boys) played Halo 3 all day after with occasional stuffing's of the guy worked in between game play.
The day after I did my Black Friday fiasco, it was not so bad until about 7 am when I got to Target. Luckily that was my last stop. Later that day and the rest of the weekend we decorated for Christmas. We have slowly been finishing putting up the rest of the decorations and it is looking nice. Recently we unpacked our last box and are completely moved in finally.
We are currently house shopping Kailey and I have decided apartment living is just not for us. We have outgrown our apartment and are entirely too tired of neighbors and their "hobbies", oh and for clarification hobbies means they deal drugs. The housing market here is ridiculous. A house that would cost a $300,000 in Oregon is only about $160,000 here. Everyone we have scoped out has about 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, family room, giant yard, garage, etc etc. The other night we met with a realtor and toured a house, we didn't like it because it was too much work to fix up but it was beautiful, however she did email us about 150 houses that fit what we were looking for. So now we have some work to do to sort out which ones we are really interested in. I am meeting with a bank next Friday to talk about mortgages.
Well anyways not too much has happened but I thought I would keep you all posted. Oh, I forgot we will not be coming to Oregon for Christmas because or work conflicts. Anywho if anyone reads this I would appreciate a comment to see who all reads this still.
Love and kisses,
Ridicorous

finally it has happened...about a month ago
To all I adore,
Sorry for not writing lately life has been insanely busy. On August 31 I asked Kailey to marry me. She said yes. I am working now no longer in training, at least for the next few weeks then I go back to training. That is my biggest news for now. Anyways I know I suck a lot for not writing but we do steal internet and do not have our own, also Kailey is an internet snob and I do not get on much. Ha ha just joking Kailey. But really I just have been really busy lately and find that I would rather spend time with Kailey for the few hours at night before I head off to bed.
This weekend we have big plans, well not plans. We are winging a weekend in SLC, we are going to see several attractions there and I will hopefully write more about that after this weekend. But anywho sorry I am a jerk and have not wrote in forever.
Love and kisses,
Rick

ice devouring sex tornado
To all those I adore,
This weekend I am heading back to The Dalles to visit home for the first time in forever. Kailey is of course coming and she will head home, or shall I say her parents new home in Scio. Her birthday is on the 5th. She will be staying home for a week or two to visit. She has not seen her parents since December so a reunion is over due. I unfortunately have to come back earlier to go back to work.
She opened some of her presents tonight already because I begged her to. I am a horrible gift giver, I always want her to open stuff early. I usually get my way too, so yeah I ruin my own surprises. I know that sounds retarded but you have to realize she can guess what I got her just by looking at me. It is ridiculous, I can't keep secrets well at all, so if she guesses what I got her I can't keep a straight face.
Anywho work is going good I am going to half days of real work next week. What is great about my job is that I am not allowed to talk about it which is wonderful because I hate talking shop with people who don't know what I am talking about. So it is good for everyone I suppose. I have met a lot of interesting people since starting and have made some friends. I am happy to be back in the west, for those that do not know it is too different worlds.
Love and kisses,
Ridicorous

idaho hooray
To all those I adore,
Well finally we are out of North Carolina, thank goodness. I am very glad to be out and back here in Idaho. Words cannot explain how great it feels. The job is great I will be in training for quite some time. Just to let you all know I can't talk about the details of my job so please if I can't tell you do not get mad. One thing that is hard is waking up at 4:30 am everyday but I am getting used to it.
Last night Kailey and i went to the War Bonnet Rodeo, it was pretty fun. One guy got really messed up. He got his hand stuck and fell off the wrong side of the horse, he was dragged around the arena several times before the horse fell on him and he came loose, it was hard to watch especially when he came right next to us and you could see his face in agony. Other than that no one got real hurt. After the rodeo there was a fireworks show that was pretty good but we were right under where they were going off at and it rained scraps of fireworks down on us. Some were hot but it was sure pretty.
Let's see we have been here three weeks and are still not unpacked. Oh well right. Anyways today we get our washer and dryer as well as my new TV. I am psyched about all of these. Anywho we changed telephone numbers also if you don't already have my new number just call my parents house and you can get it. Anywho that is all for now.
Love and kisses,
Rick
