oh life...

Three parts.

Part one... Lisha and I have supposedly mastered Craigslist. We decided that most likely we wouldn't have a patio in Seattle so we sold our Ikea patio set for just a little less then we bought it. Then we sold our Ikea bed frame in lieu of whimsical dreams of constructing our own headboard... plus the bed sits a little too low for my liking.

A few other things are spinning around in our heads to unload on Craigslist.

I kind of like it. I love eliminating the unnecessary. I like a clean desk, clean counters. I remember when I lived with Stephen how he would have all his books and mission memorabilia thrown all around the room. Me on the other hand, I like putting that stuff in boxes and accessing it when I feel the urge.

For the most part, Lisha is very much the same. She is really organized.

Now I'm not saying I'm clean, I am just stating my ideal. I don't like it when little bits of peanuts, or other food stuff are in a big jar or bag and left in the cupboard or fridge. So I combine things that are similar. This was done to the disgust of Lisha when I combined the honey roasted peanuts with the salted peanuts.

I also like a really organized computer. I hate it when there are things on my desktop (plus I swear it makes your computer run faster). I also like organizing all my documents in folders rather than throwing everything in "My Documents". I uninstall every unnecessary program.

Now on to part two... Lisha is in Canada. I started missing her right when she left. But this will mark her first time to Canada. You know, a lot is riding on this. I would really like her to say, "Wow, Canada is spectacular!" I'm not saying "I hope she likes it so we move there." I just want her to appreciate Canada.

Part three... so I just finished studying the immunology of diabetes. Did you know that research has been done to show us that we are more likely to choose mates who will compliment our immune system make-up? Yes, it is true!

Seattle Soy

Lisha and I just finished family night, filling up our wedding photo albums. Now we are looking at places in live in Seattle. The clinic I'll be working is in Renton, but it actually right as close to Seattle as you can get. In fact we're looking at places in Beacon HIll. I don't know too much about that area... but we are loving what we are seeing. In my opinion, I could really see us living there. Seattle just seems like the perfect fit. It is BEAUTIFUL there. I'm sure Mike could chip in on this subject.

Plus it's closer to Canada. I miss my homeland. And flights back to Salt Lake City are a really good price. I have no intentions on leaving the Hoskissons out.

But who wants to listen about this boring stuff coming to the "Replacement Friends" blog. So on a more exciting note: Stephen wrote a post a long time ago about his lactose intolerance. As some of you know, Stephen had hideous gas... just kidding... but not really. Somehow we linked this terrible smelling gas, jk... but not really, to milk products. Long story short, Steve switched to soy and something wonderful happened. Long story even shorter, Steve has a girlfriend now.

Anyways, long story EVEN shorter... I fell in love with soy. I just prefer it. I would still rather drink a glass of milk, but it is vanilla soy in my cereal and pero from now on out. Then! Lisha and I found a inexpensive dessert option that involves soy: Soy Cream! It's like ice cream but it is made out of soy.

So anyways, I was thinking about how I could make this blog post more boring, then I thought that I could talk about how Facebook is lame. But I'll stop here...
