Netflix

According to Neflix my favorite types of movies are:

1. Romantic period pieces based on a book.

2. Conspiracy movies.

3. Visually-striking movies.

4. British movies with a strong female lead.

5. Violent suspenseful Sci-Fi and Fantasy.

Three observations:

1. I think #1 and #4 are the same.

2. These are pretty much also my book preferences too.

3. It's kind of creepy that Netflix has figured this out about me so fast (I've had Netflix for about 3 weeks).

Point of View

Here's a little taste of what living with Ryan is like.

Me: Worst day ever today.

Ryan: Did you have diarrhea?

Me: No.

Ryan: Probably not the worst day ever then. The worst day ever would involve diarrhea and maybe some vomiting.

So true.

Moving

So I moved to Orem a couple of months ago. I miss my California family and the weather of course, but it is good to see Heather's family and Ryan so often. Mom and Dad bought the condo and I am living here full time and paying the bills and paying them a little rent. So far I am handling living alone pretty well. I keep pretty busy between work and taking care of the condo. My ward is pretty weird. It is just my complex and another one across the street. So it is all condo sort of people. Lots of young couples with 1 or 2 kids and then some older retired types and older singles. Our sacrament meetings are seriously loud with all of the babies and toddlers. Here are a few pictures. Not too exciting but I have been really busy. I didn't have furniture until a couple of weeks ago so here I am sitting on the floor watching TV. It looks like I was watching NCIS at the time. Sitting on a couch seems really luxurious now.

Woohoo! The new couch. It's really comfortable. I have some pillows now so it doesn't look quite so brown on brown on brown.

Here are a few of my favorite Orem things:

There is a boat dealership right by my house and I drive by this houseboat several times a week. It always makes me think of my freshman Y-group. But that's another story. It is kind of an ugly houseboat.

This is Stonehenge of Orem. Apparently this is a nursing home. I don't know why they built their own Stonehenge or named their facility Stonehenge of Orem. But it's fun to drive by.

Construction Progress

The end is in sight! The tile is in and they finished the grout today. Now they just have to put back and repaint all of the baseboards and then seal the floor. I think it looks really nice. The darker color will go better with the furniture.

The grout will be a little lighter when it dries.

Here is the hole I cut in the plastic tonight to get to the microwave.
