New Blog

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't posted this before, but I made a new blog for Jaren and I. Go to jarenandcallie.blogspot.com to follow our new blog! Thanks!

Hello everyone! This is my first posting as Mrs. Sandberg! It will be a quick one because its almost time to go to my next class! But here are some of the happenings of the Sandberg household in the past couple months.

1. Moved into our apartment. Only a few troubles getting furniture in.
2. Jaren got a sound system. We LOVE watching movies. ;)
3. We went "camping" in a cabin at bear lake. Didn't catch any fish, so ate a whole pack of oreos for dinner. Flooring guys there at the cabin from 10-3AM... Very romantic weekend. :)
4. First Pizza night!!
5. Bottled 60 jars of apple pie filling with Jaren's family. So yummy!!
6. Went back to the temple for the first time this past week! Loved it! Almost couldn't get in cause Jaren's recommend is still having issues.

I'll post more later!!

Morbid...?

Please pardon my morbid humor, this shouldn't be so funny. My grandma died back in January. I just walked upstairs and found a pamphlet addressed to her sitting on the counter. In big bold letters it said, "Get back to the life you had before!" Haha...

Silence Appreciation? by Callie

I have been told that I am a quiet person. I have been told this rather frequently. A girl in the dentist office I work at told everyone that she thought I had left because she hadn't heard me say anything for so long. In the quiet confines of my own mind I wonder, does everyone else really talk that much more than I do? And if so WHAT IN THE WORLD do they talk about? How can people talk all day? Why can't I? ... My mom tells me "its just because we appreciate silence." Maybe I should come up with a list of interesting conversation starters... or memorize lots of fun, random facts. Or become a master storyteller. Any other ideas? :)

Summer, Week Two!

So, the second week of summer was much like the first. I worked at the same dentist office and definitely had some of the same feelings of dread as I drove there everyday. This week however, those feelings began to lessen somewhat. Thursday I actually enjoyed being there! I was cleaning teeth all over the place, and felt like I was beginning to understand some of what was going on! Friday I was actually almost excited to go in, and as soon as I got there I had a flashback of Finding Nemo.... Swimming around in dark water, gazing adoringly at a beautiful light... then suddenly, "good feeling gone!" Once again, I felt like I was in WAY over my head. Luckily, it seems to come and go... Hopefully soon I will start to feel more comfortable!

I got to play a bit this week too! I made some friends from my ward that love to play sand volleyball. We played three times this week! The second time, my toes were so cold afterwards that I thought they had been frozen! I went home and soaked them in hot water and they felt much better. Happy little toes. :) Kiley, Kaitlyn, and I all went to see Star Trek on Tuesday. We had quite the adventure trying to sneak in ice cream. Kiley ordered an ice water in addition to our shakes, and the drink holder that came with them didn't fit in her bag. I stuck the ice cream in her bag, but she insisted that I pack in the water as well. I, obediently did as I was told, only to be scolded moments later when the lid popped off and the water spilled in her bag. Its hard to be discreet about sneaking things into the movie theater when your bag is leaking and leaving a nice wet trail behind you. . . :) The ice cream was delicious, and the movie was SO good. Who knew that you could get chills from the awesomeness of Star Trek? haha The part where the ship comes out of no where to blast the missles away and destroy the evil ship was SO COOL! I definitely had goosebumps! Kiley and I also got our first snow cones of the season!! I always forget how much I LOVE them. I seem to have a weakness for anything edible that is also delicious. I might accidently become fat this summer! ;) The week ended with a fun night with new friends playing volleyball at Mt. Logan Middle school at midnight and a fun girly sleepover that night!! My nights usually end with a call from Jaren who recently moved back to St. George from California! It seems so much better, but he is still six hours away... Anyway, its always fun to end the day with his funny stories ... that are NEVER awkward. But really... ;)

The weekend has been fun as well! I managed to completely fry my legs while watching Dalyn's soccer games. While standing during Holly's wedding on Saturday night, I experienced the unmistakable burnt skin sensation that I haven't had for who knows how long. I looked down and sure enough! Bright red legs! The poor things haven't seen sunlight since October probably... and hopefully they will tan! Holly's wedding was Saturday and she was SO gorgeous! It was so good to see everyone! Two of my friends are going on missions in two weeks and their farewell was today! There were lots of old friends to talk to, and I had a lot of fun catching up with them! The fam just got home from church and I hear pans rattling! It must be time for Sunday lunch!! =Definitely a favorite! Until next week!

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!
