July is coming to an end

Well there isn't anything too exciting as of late to be reported up north. Lyndsay and I are just enjoying the summer days together even when we are melting from the heat. We have been fortunate to be able to spend lots of time together as newly weds as I go to work with her except when she works at the library and evenings together after she is done with work. We have been filling our time with watching movies and shows we've been getting from the library which mostly have been British shows which we both enjoy. There is just something about British shows. We have mostly been spending quiet evenings at home either watching British shows, doing a puzzle, playing a game, or reading. Last week we went to an activity which only 4 other couples showed up to but Lyndsay and I just wanted an excuse to go swimming and drove out to Spring Valley Reservoir in Troy Idaho just outside of Moscow. The reservoir was no bigger than Eagle Island state park but it was refreshing as the surface was really warm and the bottom had cool under currents moving through it. The activity also included eating hot dogs and elk burgers but the elk burgers weren't anything spectacular as one might expect (at least me anyway).

Yesterday we decided to drive down to Lewiston to see if we could get a few errands out of the way such as changing Lyndsay's social security name and seeing about switching out my phone for one that works properly more then 40 percent of the time but to no avail we didn't accomplish either of those tasks. At the social security office we needed the certified copy of the marriage license and not the original (stupid technicalities) and then the Verizon store wouldn't let us do anything about my phone because my name isn't on the account so I'm not authorized to have access to any of the information regarding the account. It was funny though that when we asked if we could pay our portion of the bill and the guy told us the total amount due and then said "crap I wasn't suppose to tell you that , oh well we'll take your money anyway." The other good news about my phone was that when I switched the plan over to a family plan it voided the 1 year warranty on my phone thus making it impossible to switch it out for free and would have to pay 50 dollars to switch it out which the guy was going to be helpful and just have me buy 50 dollars worth of accessories for the new phone, oh the joy of dealing with these sorts of businesses. We also went to the mall in Lewiston which I have to say is the saddest little mall I've ever seen. Bring back good memories Caitlin?

This Saturday I have the opportunity to work for our landlord unloading tents for his Internet business which he runs called the pack saddle shop. He has 2 huge semis that need to be unloaded so for doing that he will take 10 dollars an hour off our rent so that will be a nice break for next months rent. I sold a book on half.com the other day and its been listed for at least 3 months and no other places would take it for money and I ended up getting 15 for it which was nice. The selling of my car is an on going adventure from scam email offers to a person who bought it and returned it. I still get some people expressing interest in it and I have one right now who may buy it but we'll see. Hopefully I get it sold soon so we don't have to bother with it anymore and be able to rid ourselves of the blue jelly bean once and for all. We purchased my books for school form amazon and Barnes and Noble trying to save some money. The bad news is that means school is just right around the corner which is actually exciting to be finishing my undergraduate work, its hard to believe I've almost got 4 years of college under my belt. Well that's all from the northern front for now unless Lyndsay decides to amend anything.
