Here we go again...

So, us Walker's got kicked out of our apartment. Yeah. Here's the scoop:
Our not-so-fantastic-upstairs-neighbor, complained about our dog barking too much (which she doesn't. don't be fooled) and that either the dog goes or she will. Which is whatev, we've kind-of been waiting for the chance to move out of here anyway 1. because of our not-so-fantastic-upstairs-neighbor 2. bad location. That was the story yesterday. Today, our renter came over to tell us that his family is moving back into the house we're in right now, and our not-so-fantastic-upstairs-neighbor wants to rent their current house, by herself. We have 30 days to find a new place. This is where you come in. If you know of a apartment to rent in orem/provo area preferably under $700 /month, let me know ASAP!

And I Thought I Loved You Then...

It's always a mistake to listen to country music. At least for me. Don't get me wrong, I do like country music, but I always end up balling if I listen for too long. The other day, this very thing happened to a certain Brad Paisley song. You would too if you were me.

"And I Thought I Loved You Then"

Brad Paisley


I remember trying not to stare the night that I first met you

You had me mesmorized

3 weeks later in the front porch light taking 45 min to kiss you goodnight

I hadn't told you yet but I thought I loved you then


Now you're my whole life Now you're my whole world

I just can't believe the way I feel about you girl

Like the river meets the sea

Stronger than it's ever been

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then


I remember taking you back to right where I first met you

You were so surprised

There were people around

But I didn't care I got down on one knee right there

And once again I thought I loved you then


Now you're my whole life now you're my whole world

I just can't believe the way I feel about you girl

Like the river meets the sea

Stronger than it's ever been

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then


I can just see you with a baby on the way

I can just see you when your hair is turning gray

What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love you more

But I've said that before


Now you're my whole life now you're my whole world

I just can't believe the way I feel about you girl

We'll look back some day at this moment that we're in

And we'll look back and say, "And I thought I loved you then."


And I thought I loved you then....

Where The Wild Things Are

So dumb. Do NOT go wasting your money on tickets. What's supposed to be a kids movie, is scary and depressing and very indie. I have an idea! GO READ THE BOOK!!!!
