So another week as passed in the Robertson household. Seems like we do the same ol' things everyday. Work is going alright.. we are ready to get out of there though. . and thursday is our last day so that is nice. Braxton is almost finished with school he only has 1 more exam left. Hopefully he will have straight A's so that is nice. Well here are some highlights of last week and the beginning of this week.
1. Finding out my sister is pregant! YAHOOO..
2. My oldest nephew turning 12 and becoming a young man.

7. Going to the shade $5 dollar sell.. pretty sweet.
8. Buying the J. Golden Kimball stories.
9. Becoming a Platinum member of Desert Book ( so if anyone wants to buy something use our name.. and we will get points)
10.Having date night last thursday consisting of getting so so lost in Sandy, UT going 105 blocks out of the way due to dumb Utah people. Finally finding the aquarium and come to find out it was the dumbest thing ever besides the stingray tank where you can touch them. Then going to the IMAX theater thinking it was a huge dome one and then finding out it was just a big screen. Seeing 21 which wasn't that bad of a movie. Then going to the Mayan Adventures which was a huge rainforest thing with a waterfall inside.. but no dancers and no performers and sucky food. But all in all we had a good time spending time together. We had some good laughs along the way so we made a good time out of it.
11. Getting free icecream at Costco on our break. I ate about 3 fruit things, A almond bar, and a fudge bar. Braxton ate about 2 fruit things, and 3 skinny cows.. or more.. ha But it was free so ROCK ON!
12. Braxton admitting he needs a hair cut!!!
13. Going thru all of our junk.
14. Almost being married for 4 months!
So we have been having a pretty good week. We are really excited to be leaving here though we need some time away from Provo. We are also excited to go to Papa and Momma Robertsons and to hopefully make good money. We are going to take some pictures and put them up soon.. we haven't taken one picture since we have been married hah.. lame. Well its 12 o clock at we need to leave the library. Adios.. Goodbye..

What not to do...
So Britta and I have been quite sick for the last couple of days. I am not sure what exactly it is but when we wake up in the morning our throats are really sore and we cough a lot and Britta's head is always killing her. Anyways that really has nothing to do with the post.... I just wanted to give ya'll an update. So the other day we got home from work and we were getting ready to watch a movie or go to bed or something when Britta starts complaining that her neck was hurting her really bad. She decided that it was my husband duty to message her neck and put icy hot on it to help soothe her. So I of course agreed that it was my duty (Lesson one: Husbands are to always agree with their wife no matter what!!! I repeat...no matter what!!). So I started massaging icy hot into her neck and I guess I must have put too much on because after the icy sensation was gone the "hot" really came in full force. Britta started complaining that her neck was on fire and I of course just sat on the bed and tried to explain that of course it was going to be hot...that is why it is called "icy hot". This answer didn't appease Britta's torment so she grabbed a box of wetnaps that we have next to our bed and she took one out and started slapping the back of her neck with it in an attempt to cool her neck. This is probably something that ya'll would have to see to know how funny it was...so just take my word for it.... It was absolutely hillarious. She kept rubbing her neck and then she would slap herself with the wetnap. Unfortunately my cheerfulness didn't help the situation and I was actually threatened that a large amount of icyhot would end up in my armpits if I didn't stop laughing (Lesson two: Husbands must always do what their wifes ask of them...ALWAYS!!). It was pretty funny. Just another day in the Robertson's household.

Best of the BEST!
Hello our friendly blog readers!
something about how i went above and beyond my line of work! So needless to say i rub it in So Braxton and I have been working at Costco for almost 6 months now! Its fun and we get payed well. I started off on the front end and now i work in clothing. Braxton started in the bakery and now does produce (aka so easy). Well we have this comment box at work where customers can right something good about employees and then they get there name on the best of the best board! SO we look at it every now and then to see if our names are on there because we try to help people out as much as we can and its never there. But this one day a man came in hoping to get his favorite pair of Kirkland Jeans (you Costco goers should know what these are) but we were out of his size so i looked in all the boxes to find them but nothing. So i showed him all of our other jeans and we compared them to find the skinniest one because we wanted tampered jeans. Well after about 30 minutes he decided on a pair and was on his way. Now i have done this type of thing quite a few times so i wasn't expecting anything..until yesterday i just happened to glance on the board and there was my name! And a comment that sayedBraxton's face because he is not on the board hah!! I only write about this because no one ever acknowledges me so for once i get a little credit. I feel good!
Other then that things are going good. We are getting ready to go to Chicago soon and we are excited. Hopefully we make a decent amount of money! Its a bug eat bug world out there.. and our mission is to kill them all!

Date Night
Well we just got back from our date night. It consisted of Rocky Mountain Chocolate candy apples!! DELICIOUS! Britta got Apple Pie Apple (cinnamon, sugar and white chocolate) and Braxton got Avalanche (rice crispies, marshmallows, tiger butter, and caramel). Oh and we cant forget the giant rice crispy treat! The Rocky Mountain Chocolate store is located in the Riverwoods shopping area in northern Provo. We decided to take a stroll through the area and check out all of the sweet stores. Unfortunately every store in the area is extremely expensive which means we did a lot of window shopping and wishing. Of course Britta saw a store that sold little kids outfits and we had to go in and check out all of the baby clothes. NO!!! WE ARE NOT PREGNANT!!! And by "we" I mean Britta. MAN, Braxton hates those stores. It gets him so trunky to be a dad. This store had some sweet kids clothes like this:
Oh yeah! Our kid is gonna be stealing all of the girls hearts with this sweet style. Of course it costs an arm and a leg but if any of you are willing to sacrifice then please let us know.
After our leisurely stroll we decided to catch a movie at the local theater. We try to keep date nights "G" rated so we decided to watch the Dr. Seuss classic Horton hears a Who. Britta went in to the movie having never read this book (I don't know how anyone can make it through child hood sane and never read this book). We love Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell as the voices and the movie was pretty good. We must admit Dr. Seuss was one weird man... A literary genius but extremely weird. It is a great family film and we recommend it.
It was a good night for us...any night that we don't have to go to work is a good night. Well we are home now and it's time to.................
(aunt Mel get your mind out of the gutter)
.........go to sleep.
Good night.

UNTITLED (that's the title)
Well I guess we better get better at doing this blog thing. I started the blog over a month ago and I only have a couple posts so far. My aunt was over the other day and she showed me the ropes of blogging so now I am a blogging pro! I have lots of ideas for this site but I find my time occupied with school work and napping!! I decided to change my site address and also include my wife in the site so now it is our site. We have been married for three months now and it is probably the best three of my life. It is pretty awesome being married....(not meant to make my single friends depressed in any way)...but you still have ups and downs...well actually like little downs and huge ups!! Well my biology class is about to start so I better get studying for my daily quiz.
