burning down the house

So appearantly I am really trying to burn our poor little house down. Today i was trying to warm up some soup (which i prefer to do on the stove so i can add spices and just extra things) and turned on the burner and was talking on the phone with one of my friends. I was going to go check on things because something smelled funny and smoke was pooring from the stove. So i jump up to check things, and i had the wrong burner on... the one i had thrown the towel i was drying dishes with earlier. i was so scared! i was home by myself, and the house was filling with smoke! myah was running around the house hysterical and the smoke detector started going off. i got it under control and fanned the smoke detectors and everything was fine.

This reminds me of a similar spaghetti incident that happened about a month ago. except there were flames involoved with that one! oh well, what's the worse that could happen? oh yeah, a FIRE!

stuck in a truck

So the one of our more recent posts was about our new dog myah. She is super sweet and has a great disposition for a lab. Lab's are great dogs, but they tend to have VERY hyper puppy years. Myah is sly but generally a sweat heart and listens so well, bless her little heart. One of her great traits is her ability to stay right by our sides and not run away. David can go outside and let her run free and we never even have to worry about her leaving the front yard. We have come home several times and found her off her chain, but still in our car port waiting for us to get home.

Recently we went to my grandpa's and had her stay at the house while we left for a dance recital that my neice was in (which she ROCKED). When we came home i was so excited to see her and was going to get a treat out of the truck to give her when i came in the house because we'd been away so long.

To my suprise when i looked in the truck there was our little black puppy waiting in the truck!! In order to accomplish this feat she had to wander outside, jump over (or crawl under) a chainlink fence, and scale the side of david's truck and wait in there till we got home.

Normally not too hard for the average size dog but myah is a TINY lab. She is only 19 lbs and is about the size of the average pug. She is almost full grown now and is supposed to be close to 70 lbs at this point in her little life :) we call her our "mini lab"

Love it :)

ocean's blue

so david has always had this little trick to remember alot of his passwords and pin numbers and he taught it to me. He always says Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1642 (number had been changed to save our current bank account balance) and it worked for him. It seems like everytime i hear that story the year changes so i never paid attention to the numbers and contently punched in the correct combonation as told.

Well I was watching TV and the mini wheat commercial popped up. I love those little wheat guys but wasn't really paying attention because i was on the internet and i hear the one where this little boy is studying for his history test and the rhyme about columbus comes up. "Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492" I looked over at david and cracked up! We were only a few centuries off :) we had a pretty good laugh about it...

Introducing: Myah Applegate

Our adorable lab mix puppy, Myah. Appearantly we spelled her name wrong but we didn't know how to spell it and that's how it came out. She is so adorable. we got her when she was 3 weeks old (we know WAY too early but that's when she was given to us by her neive owner) and she is now almost 4 months! I finally told david it was either a puppy or a baby. Needless to say which one he picked. jk, i would LOVE a baby, but patience is key at this point. Anyways, this is my temporary baby. So adorable!!!





she LOVES to cuddle in the car



Myah with my little sister kelsey




my dad gave her a bone and she didn't quite know what to do :)

Brudder

So my brother is in the navy and stationed in Pennsylvania and doesn't get many vacantion days, but he usually comes down for christmas and his birthday (april 3rd) and is in town! He's here for over a week and will be staying for easter festivities. He ventured over to morehead and is staying with us a night to see our house and hang out with us. It's really nice that we have a house with two rooms so we can have guests :) i love it! i also made beef and noodles which my grandmother used to make and it's super yummy. i did pretty ok! David and Bobby are really liking the man to man time because bobby is stuck in a house with three girls this week and and david is usually stuck with me :)


Also, I wanted to talk a little about myah (our lab puppy) and her chewing phase. She has destroyed (and i am listing so i dont' have to go into detail of each story)


-five pairs of megean's shoes
-an 8 pack of paper towels (the good kind too!)
-and entire rope toy
-water bottles
-toilet paper
-toilet paper rolls
-our coffee table
-our banana/gammer chair
-three internet cables
-the fan cords
-multiple pee pads

and is currently chewing on the keyboard (or attempting). She is so sweet though and learning to chew on bones thankfully! I wouldn't trade her in for anything. I love her so much and she is just so tiny and sweet. even if david wants to trade her in for brutus

i love to see the temple....

So this weekend was really awesome. I got to get off work early for one thing. for another i got to go to the temple! I went with my sister and got to see one of my friends from the ward and her husband get their endowments. It was really cool to go back to the temple and to go with so many friends and family. Also after we got out of the temple we went to this place called "Red Robin" which is a really nice burger joint and it was SO good. The burgers were huge and the fries were bottomless so you got as many as you wanted. i defintaly recomend it. We also didn't get home until 2 am because it takes so stinking long to get home but it was very much worth it :)

maybe this is a sign....

so today is friday the 13th, and obviously david and i don't really care about that stuff, getting married on the 13th and all, but today kind of makes you think... I was so excited to come home because we had nothing to do the whole weekend. i could clean the house, catch up on laundry, and hang out with my honey! so i get home and david says he has a quiz to take, which is actually good news because i wanted to take a nap before going out together for a date night.

So i wake up about an hour and a half later and we get ready for dinner and go out. We got to a chineese buffet and spend $23 on food (which i HATED doing but david really wanted to and we were wanting it to be a special night) and we barely ate a whole plate of not very good food. Were sitting there talking and i ask him about how his quiz went. He said he couldn't take it because the internet wasn't working. Now if david, the computer networking major, can't get the computer to work something is wrong.

so i went home and looked at it (pretty laughable because i don't know anything about computers) and the ONLY page it would pull up was www.LDS.org

David looked at me and goes "Meg do you think that's a sign or something"

we got a pretty good laugh out of that :)
