Braid

Wednesday evening-

After work we had dinner. Than he went to church for meetings. I stayed home and watched some TV. A little later the TV and everything on that outlet shut off. It’s happened before so I tried what I normally do to fix it but this time it didn’t work. But I needed to meet up with Spencer to clean the bathrooms at church. Which wasn’t too long of a process but who ever wants’ to clean bathrooms? Lol Afterwards I ran to Smith’s around 10pm to get a new plug extension since the one we had was the problem and then sour cream for Spencer. Then he had a lot of homework to do but didn’t stay up super long, instead he got up earlier.

Thursday-

Today I got up around 6am. I am working this first part of the morning. It was going to be a full day but I could only really do a half day but I have little time tonight that I could complete everything I needed to do. And so I needed some of the afternoon as well.

1. work out (20 minute ab & 40 minute stretch)
2. clean the house
3. do the dishes
4. pick up dry cleaning
5. drop off a letter to someone for Spencer
6. pack for our short trip
7. visit teach Margret
8. and manage to eat somewhere in there

With work full day that would limit my time. So she will get here around 1 or 2pm probably.

I tried to attempt to braid my hair in the back instead of a side braid but that is super hard to do on yourself, my arms just don’t stretch very well and I like to see myself braid. So it’s just a plain ponytail. Someday I will get better at it. I just need to practice. Then I dropped Spencer off to school. So far work isn’t bad but it is the early morning right now. I’ve been sneezing a lot and we ran out of Kleenex up here. Other than that I just plan to read my book and type up some papers. Maybe watch a show or two to make the time go by.

Other than that I am super excited for the long weekend I get to spend with my husband in Park City and for the time off. Too bad it’s not longer. But such is life.

Our friend Bonnie found out she is having a boy, I really don’t know anyone that is having a girl so far. So it’s been interesting.

(The only bad thing about my jaw splint is the inside of my cheeks have scars all over them from pinching. And what’s weird is I wake up with my bottom far right tooth hurting like it’s been pushed and pulled on but my jaw splint doesn’t even touch it. Weird)

Countdown-

1 day until our anniversary weekend in park city!!!
17 days until our one year anniversary!!!
61 days until something awesome!!!
89 days until Chicago!!!

Sweat!

Tuesday evening-

Right after work I went to Jessica’s house to finish up the Scentsy party. First we had some yummy chicken for dinner! When we totaled all the orders I could get 3, ½ price items & about $60 worth of free product! Wow, we did really well! So I ordered a few things, and gave 2, ½ price items to Jessica because I didn’t need anything more. Once I chose my scents and finished it all up, I headed back home. Andrew stopped by to give us cookies from Karen, my mother-in-law. They were super yummy. Than I just relaxed until Spencer came home. He came home earlier because he just took a test and it didn’t take all class period! He got his guitar for Guitar Hero in the mail so he played a few games. Eventually we will end up doing it together; me singing & him playing the guitar. That will be really nice. Then our next door neighbor moved (I’m almost positive) so that might be available for someone, in general I would just love to walk around and see what the other half looks like. They have a pole in their living room too (just like ours)! Jessica let me borrow “Heaven is here” By: Stephanie Nielson, it’s pretty good so far. Only there are a few things she says that take me off guard.

Wednesday-

Spencer and I slept in a little this morning, I think it’s best if I get up at 7am or earlier but sometimes Spencer doesn’t get up so then I don’t get up. He used to get up and go all the time now he has a harder time getting up when he plans to. But we got up around 8am and relaxed, and he got ready for school. After he left I did my 30 minute workout. I didn’t really want to workout today but once I do it I’m always glad I did it and got it out of the way. After my workout I leaned over and sweat dripped down my stomach and face. That is the first time I’ve really sweat after/while working out! I’m not one to like sweat but for once I was actually pretty proud and felt awesome! Then I watched a few TV shows. After I got ready for work I dropped off Spencer’s suit to get dry cleaned. Work isn’t too bad so far today. It’s a beautiful day outside! I wore my hair down but I probably shouldn’t have just because it’s hot outside.

After work Spencer has church meetings and we are supposed to clean the church but we won’t be their on the 1^st so we are going to clean the bathrooms for them tonight as our part.

Also my jaw is getting better, I’m pretty sure it’s moved a lot and it’s easier to do a few things but sometimes weird. =] My next appointment is coming up in about a week.

Countdown-

2 days until our anniversary weekend in park city!!!
18 days until our one year anniversary!!!
62 days until something awesome!!!
90 days until Chicago!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

Friday evening-

I realized I forgot to bring the Scentsy orders home from work so I was kicking myself over that one. But Spencer and I went to Costco & Wal-Mart finally to stock up our kitchen again. Other than that we had a pretty nice evening.

Saturday-

Spencer and I went to the church around 8am. He did a few things and I and the other nursery leaders cleaned all the nursery toys FINALLY! They were really gross, and man do we have some random toys. Afterwards I did a 45 minute workout. Spencer did A LOT of homework. We did drive around for a little while and stop and see pets at the pet store. Then we finished a 750 piece puzzle, the Disneyland puzzle. Afterwards we went to Red Robin. So we did have a lot of distractions, so he never got all his homework done. But it was a really nice day to hang out with each other. It rained in the afternoon which was really nice. It was also my sister Jessica’s birthday!

Sunday-

Spencer didn’t have meetings in the morning so we got to walk to church together! I had the lesson in Nursery… we had TWO kids. I hoped that one of us could go to Sunday school than or Relief Society (maybe even me) but it never happened. I honestly don’t think the other leaders wanted to leave but I did, I miss Relief Society sometimes. But it was a slow & quite day. I taught the lesson on how the Holy Ghost helps us & that we should choose the right. It didn’t go really good but not too bad with two kids. Afterwards I did the dishes and packed up a few things. Then FINALLY watched Duets on Hulu. It wasn’t too bad but I feel bad that Kelly Clarkson’s two people are at the bottom. Hopefully they will do better. Then we headed out to Tooele around 3pm for Memorial weekend. We played some games & watched “We bought a zoo”, it was a pretty cute movie.

Monday-

I planned on getting up at 7am and working out and I was going to but then I thought, it’s the weekend so why should I. So we slept until 8 which I still could have gotten up at 7. It was a pretty nice day outside. The orange kitty came over and we played with it for a little while. I love that kitty; it’s super nice and playful. Then we played a lot of games. Jessica planted some plants. Than we had a steak lunch. We finished all our laundry. Then watched a few family home videos, what great memories. Later Stephanie & Jessica/ J left. Than Spencer & my dad watched Sherlock Holmes and my mom and I went on about an hour walk. It was a pretty good day for a walk. Than we all ate some yummy sandwiches. Afterwards we headed back to Salt Lake City so that Spencer could finish up some of his homework. I can tell he is burnt out from school but it will be nice once he gets it all out of the way. I do wish he could stay home more and take a break from school but that’s not always idle. We watched the movie Annie and than put all our clothes away. OFF to bed!

Tuesday-

We woke up about 6:30am. I took him to school than stopped off at work to get the orders. Than dropped them off to Jessica. Than I went home and did a 45 minute workout! So far I haven’t had much trouble doing my workouts. I get tired and sometimes it’s hard to push myself but other than that. I think it’s because I do it around 8 or 9 am and that’s a great time for me to do it. If I get hungry I just drink one of my yogurt smoothies before hand and it helps while I’m working out. Than I eat oatmeal and cereal and try to drink lots of water. Afterwards I watched two episodes of a show than got ready for work. =]

Work has been kind of busy so far, lots of phone calls. But it’s because we have the USA Volleyball Championships this last week of May. So a lot of our employees are off helping there so we are short on staff. But so far so good. Other than that I plan to type up a few things and read an article in the ensign.

(randomly enough, I feel fatter instead of thinner since I’ve been working out… lame)

Today was the start of my third week of working out =]

Countdown-

3 days until our anniversary weekend in park city!!!

19 days until our one year anniversary!!!

63 days until something awesome!!!

91 days until Chicago!!!

And I can’t exactly count the days down but about 2 months or more we will get two nephews!  =]

Duets

Thursday evening-

I didn’t work out when I got home because besides Sunday I usually take a day off of working out. So I walked to Desert Book store to get my mom a book. I ran into my friend Bonnie who has a cute baby bump, they find out the gender next month. Then I went home and relaxed and watched some TV shows. Then I cleaned up the house finally. Around 6:30pm I went over to watch the Taft kids, they have A 6 year old boy, a 3 year old girl, and an almost 18 month old baby girl. They are super fun to watch. They keep you entertained and we played Chutes & latter’s, Candy land, & battleship. Once their parents came back home I talked to their mom Kenzie for a little bit and then headed home to see my sweet husband that I missed ALL day!

Friday-

I got up this morning at 6, at first I thought it would be hard to get up but I actually woke up fairly fast. I did a 30 minute work out at 6:30. Then I hurried and got ready to pick up J from Jessica’s work. I brought him back to my place, we played Candy land and then he played Angry Birds with Spencer. Once Spencer left he watched some cartoons until Grammy came to pick him up at 11am. I did try to watch Duet’s on Hulu since I missed it last night on TV. More than anything I just want to watch Kelly Clarkson sing on the show. But Hulu was being lame so I could only see a 15 minutes of the 90 minutes.

Today is the last day of the Scentsy basket party at work. I will have a total of at least 6 orders by the end. Not what I was hoping for but its better than it could have been =]

I’m not a sales person though; I don’t like to push people to buy things because I don’t like to be pushed. Today is a pretty good day so far though. Then I saw a lady at work cry today and it’s always sad to see someone upset. I’m not sure why but I could probably guess. It hurts to see someone upset because you just want to make it all better. But if I was the one crying I would just want to let it all out and then move on. So I understand. I just hope she feels better; she is such a sweet person. I wish I knew her a little better.

After work I will give Scentsy back to Jessica and than swap cars so I can get my car back. Lol Then Spencer and I will go get a graphing calculator for him. Then I’m not sure if we have anything else planned for the day. Saturday I am going to clean the nursery toys FINALLY at church. Then I have the nursery lesson on Sunday. Later we will head out to Tooele for the holiday. =]

On a side note I got an early Anniversary present from SPencer. It's a glass square figure with a bubble design rose inside and at the bottom its bubble letters of I love you and two hearts!!! It spins around and has colorful lightning. It's beautiful I will take a picture later

August Boy Babies

Wednesday evening-

After work Spencer & I went to Costco & Wal-mart to get much needed groceries. It didn’t take too long and we didn’t spend too much. Afterwards I watched some TV shows while Spencer went to do some church things. Than later I rocked out singing to Band Hero. We ordered Guitar hero but they made a mistake and sent us band hero. We told them and they let us keep it plus they are sending what we ordered =]

Spencer will video tape me rocking out some time and I will post it. It was pretty fun but soon we had to get to sleep because we both were getting up early.

Thursday evening-

We both got up at 6am, and I was up and moving this time. I was ready before Spencer was. I then dropped him off at school and headed in to work. I will be working this morning and Heather will come in this evening. So then that gives me the whole evening to workout, clean the house, and maybe wash the car and do a few other things.

I don’t mind, the morning goes by fairly fast. My ab area is pretty sore this morning but I slept through the whole night without even having to get up to go potty!

I’ve been using sensodine (however you spell it) for my teeth because they are getting too sensitive, and I wonder how long it will take to make it start working.

I realized that I have a lot of baby boy things to purchase for births coming up. Cythina, Acacia, Jessica, and Erin, all have boys coming in August. Than my sister in December but we don’t know what she is having just yet.

It smells like yummy blueberry cheesecake in our lobby at work today... delicious!!

Than last night I got to thinking how much STUFF we have crammed into our stomach area… let me list all I could find and remember:

Heart

Lungs (2)

Esophagus

Thymus gland?

Pleura

Adrenal glands (2)

Appendix

Bladder

Gallbladder

Large intestine

Small intestine

Kidneys (2)

Liver

Pancreas

Spleen

Stomach

Ribs

Women:

Ovaries

Uterus

Than for women add a baby to ALL of that already crammed into your stomach. Holy smokes! Than I was thinking how people are crammed enough so if you are anorexic or anything than you make it even more suffocating in there. It’s crazy how the body works.

Have a wonderful Thursday today!! The weekend is coming close, and it will be a 3 day weekend!!!!

Dance videos

Tuesday evening-

While Spencer was out I watched TV because it’s been awhile since I’ve just sat and watched some TV for a few hours. I watched dancing with the stars because Kelly Clarkson was singing on it!! Some of the dances were cool but out of ALL the dance shows I’ve seen these are some of my favorite dances:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRNVyGOkxb4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_wF0xVkhhM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVdhXTc6Y30

You can’t always tell who the professional is even. I just love the lyrical hip hop dances, they make you feel the lyrics and understand the song. I wish I could do one of those dances, I will go on dancing with the stars or you think you can dance lol

After that Spencer came home and we got a few things done and really enjoyed each others company! =] And I’ve been reading my scriptures every night but I just haven’t wrote on my blog about it. I slack on the weekends but other than that I do well.

Wednesday-

This morning I decided to do an old ab workout I used to do, with Turbo Jam. Wow do I really need to get my abs stronger. That will take some time but I’m going to do it! Than I watched a few TV shows while I ate some breakfast. Once I was ready I decided to meet up with Spencer at Subway and get a sandwich for lunch at work. We need to do grocery shopping tonight so we are running out of foods for lunches.

Just a few things to do at work, other than that I just plan on reading, watching a TV show or two. Hopefully more people will come up and get Scentsy

112 pounds

Monday evening-

After work Spencer and I headed home and made dinner. Then I went over to Acacia’s house to help her pick out a Scentsy Scent. Then I lost a $20.00 bill and prayed that no one picked it up from the ground or it blew away. I hurried back, and luckily found it on their gravel road! Amen

Then Spencer did homework while I did the dishes and a few other things.

Towards the end of the evening I had a rough night. I don’t like when those happen but they do sometimes so I just deal with it until it’s over. By the morning it is almost always better.

Tuesday-

This morning Spencer hurried and got ready to walk to school. I got up and took a short nap after he left. Than I did a 45 minute workout, it wasn’t the normal one I used to do but it was interesting and I learned new moves. Right now I weigh about 112 pounds, people ask how much i've lost but I would be 140 one week and then 130 the next so I was never really steady so I say 20-30 pounds. But hopefully with me working out more I might gain muscle and lose fat and my weigh might go up whhich i'm okay with. It’s always nice to work out in the morning and get it done. Tonight I might do the 40 minute stretch just to get a good stretch in. After my work out I watched a little TV while eating breakfast and then got ready for the work day.

It’s a BUSY day today at work. I had to move the Scentsy display to the back of the counter while our Board of Directors are here today & tomorrow. Hopefully that won’t take away from the people that wanted to purchase anything. I’m a little bummed so far that we haven’t had much, I was really excited. Hopefully it will pick up and people that said they would do it will come back and do it. We also have a project to do as well as answering a lot of phone calls.

Wish me luck!

Now just waiting to be given a book to read for our book club. After work besides maybe stretching, I will probably just clean up the house while Spencer is gone.

Almost 5 more hours left of work….

Scentsy basket party

Friday evening-

After work we went to Noodles and Company with Sister & Elder Mills. They are wonderful people. The food wasn’t bad, but the place was a mess and some of the food was pretty bland. Then Spencer & I went to the Utah Symphony/ Concerto No. 1. It wasn’t too bad, really pretty; wish I could play those types of instruments. After an hour or so it sounded the same so I was a little sleepy & bored. I am glad that we went out though, it was a good experience.

Saturday-

I worked out, I feel I am getting better and I’m not really complaining much about it and it’s not too hard to get me up and doing it. =]

Then Spencer & I walked to Smith’s to get a few things. Then I did the dishes.

We went to Tooele and talked with my mom and did laundry. Around 6pm we headed out to Bree’s wedding reception!!! I am super happy for her! It was really nice, and I really wanted to dance but Spencer isn’t a dancer. And I didn’t want to do it with a bunch of strangers so I didn’t. I almost cried though because of how much I just wanted to have fun and dance; I should have just done it. He did slow dance with me once =] I ran into an old high school friend & a couple from our Salt Lake ward. He is related to Bree; small world! Then we came home and relaxed & watched a few shows.

Sunday-

We sat next to Evia & her mom Acacia; she is having a rough pregnancy. So we help her out a few times. Nursery was a little rough; I had to step out to take a minute to myself. I love those kids but some days I do miss Relief Society. We had a taco Sunday in a little park with some couples; it was really nice and delicious. Then we watched the Disney movies Dinosaurs. I called Bishop Salisbury and talked to him for a little while. Than headed over to Jessica’s to get Scentsy stuff for my basket party at work. The sad news is I’ve lost TWO of my patriarchal blessings and I’m not sure how. I don’t lose things and I’ve always had certain spots for them. They have just disappeared; luckily my mom has a copy and I have one on my computer. I just want my original copies. =[ Hopefully I will find them someday; maybe when we end up moving somewhere.

Monday-

We woke up around 7:30 this morning and slowly got up. His parents stopped by quick on their way back to California. They gave us gifts from when they went to Disneyland. Spencer and I both got a Disney pen! We also got this awesome 750 piece puzzle. It would go perfect in a child’s room when we get it done and glued together. That won’t be for awhile but once we have a kid we will put it in their room.

Than after Spencer left for school/work I worked out! =] Man I’m getting really good at this, and I’m doing my own pace and doing this for me and to just be healthy & fit not to lose weight or anything. I am a little sore here and there but nothing too bad. Afterwards I dropped off a few things to Spencer than came to work and set up the Scentsy basket party display! I will add pictures below! =]

I’m really excited about this.

After work just FHE & a little cleaning here and there.



this is how i set it up, i think it looks pretty cool but its hard to show it in the picture



11 Month Anniversary

Thursday evening-

After work I went to the grocery store to get a few things. And I forgot sour cream! I will get it later. Than I did the dishes. Than watched like 2 episodes of cold case, it’s a pretty good show. Around 8 I went to pick up Spencer from school because if it started raining I didn’t want him to have to walk in the rain and I was bored. While I was writing in my journal someone the pen exploded or there was an air bubble because while Spencer was talking to me he goes whoa! I looked down and there is ink splattered on my journal, myself, and the couch. There will be a picture of me attached below.

Friday-

Happy 11 month anniversary!

We decided to put our air conditioner thing on top of a table so it was actually blowing on us. Besides me being sore, I wasn’t as hot as I normally get =]

No workout today because we went out to Denny’s with the in-laws! It’s nice to have breakfast made for you, too bad I only eat half of it maybe. Than we got talking about how lame school lunches are nowadays. My mother-in-law, Karen, works at an elementary school cafeteria. So she was telling us how bland they’ve made the kids foods. When you’re young you still have taste buds you want your food to have FLAVOR! If you are worried about them being chubby it has nothing to do with the lunch food, it’s because kids need to burn off their fat in exercising. Good thing they didn’t change that stuff when I was in elementary school or I would be REALLY skinny because I wouldn’t eat the crap food they serve most of the time. And shutting down vending machines doesn’t do much because half the time kids are allowed to leave campus for lunch. And so they are going to get soda and candy anyways. Most of the time you have ONE meal at school, and it’s not even the most important meal of the day. So they shouldn’t worry about that, it’s not their fault kids are obese.

Anyways, loving the rain (kind of) we need the moisture so it’s great! But it never STORMS it just lightly rains, we need a good STORM.

After Denny’s I went home and watched the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy…. OMG! It was so many emotions at once. Now I’ve been watching the show back and forth but I was surprised what main character died. I don’t want to give it away if some people haven’t seen it yet but I thought that was the one person that was going to stay on. So it will be interesting what will happen when it comes back in September (I think that’s when it comes back)

After work today Spencer and I are going to dinner for our 11^th month anniversary (one more month away from a year together…crazy!) and than to a musical concert for his music class.

Best of all… IT’S FRIDAY!

Here are the ink splatters on my arm, and neck (this morning i found some on my leg) I must of been sititng weird lol

Keeping the door shut

Wednesday evening-

After work we had Chili in the Crockpot. Than he didn’t have to really go to the church for long so we watched some TV while he did some homework. While he was gone I watched some TV and than when we came back we played a game! Jewels in the attic, it’s super fun but I’m sure when we have 8 year old kids they will enjoy it better. Than we read a little before going to bed.

Before we fell asleep Spencer brought up is it really that big of deal to close the bedroom door all the way….. Yes it is to me. As far as I’ve remembered I’ve ALWAYS had my door shut. 1. Its double protection, a second door they have to get through 2. If someone goes in and out of the door I will hear it and wake up, it’s a signal to me. I don’t think it’s that big of deal to shut it, I can still hear through the door if it’s closed. So if we have kids I could still probably hear them through the door. I just don’t feel super save in a house ever so closing the door is comforting. Maybe someday I can get over it.

I have also noticed though that I haven’t really had any bad dreams lately and not even a lot of dreams I remember. But I am alright with that =] The bad dreams were beginning to become too much.

Thursday-

Oh boy does sleeping after starting to workout make me SORE! Other than that I was just SO hot I couldn’t comfortably sleep. We are using our air conditioning thing but it’s just not perfect yet for me. After Spencer left for school I went back to bed for longer than I meant to, it’s hard to get back out of bed. And I was going to just workout tonight… but I got up and did a core workout. I’m glad I did it but wish I had done a little more.

I watched the movie 9; it was kind of weird but cute. Than on my way to work, talk about an impatient driver. Honking at me to go at a stop sign but it was the person across from me’s turn. He was there before I was, so that car can just hold on to their horses…. Jeez

Other than that my back in tight/sore in some places. I finished reading a book yesterday now on to another one for now.

Not too much going on at work. Just the usual. Than after work I will do the dishes, and go on a walk probably while waiting for Spencer.

His parents are stopping by tomorrow morning to go have breakfast, so I’m not sure when I will get a workout in because that night it’s our 11 month anniversary (already lol) so I will be going out to dinner & a concert with the husband. Maybe I will get up early and do it but I don’t see that happening so maybe I will do it on Saturday….

I’ve just kind of been keeping it a secret: 1. no pressure from others 2. It’s a surprise 3. I just like doing it when I want to do it by myself

So he doesn’t know I’m working out because I haven’t said anything, he sometimes reads my blogs but not really so just who reads my blog knows.

I think we are going to need to go grocery shopping again… I love getting more food but don’t like the hole it leaves in my pocket.

Working out again =]

Tuesday evening-

After work I met up with Spencer at Subway to eat with him quick before he had classes. I was stuffed, after that I went home. I watched some TV shows and ended up getting lazy so I never walked or did a workout. I went to the store to buy some more yogurts and get cash for Spencer. He is buying concert tickets from one of his classes. I did the dishes, cleaned ALL the floors and some things here and there. Than relaxed until Spencer came home. I love that man so much! =]

He did a few homework things while I watched some TV; we’ve been going to bed around 11pm lately.

Wednesday-

I’ve slowly been getting up around 7am except on the days he gets up at 6 so I get up around 6:30am. Today he got up and did some homework things and I got up too. After he left I DID IT!!! I did a Turbofire workout….. and WOW! I felt pretty good; 15 minutes in I needed to take a quick break because I felt like I was dying. But I’m really glad I did it. My tummy kind of hurts right now (not sore muscle wise but its upset with me) other than that I feel pretty good. It was a 30 minute workout and than a 10 minute stretch. I hope I can make myself do it again in the mornings without any struggles. Then I made Chili in the Crockpot for dinner later.

After work I plan on taking a walk after dinner while Spencer is at the church. Other than that I don’t really have anything planned.

Now just super hot at work. I plan to watch some TV shows, type up some papers and maybe even read!

Next week were having Scentsy basket parties at work from my sister, Jessica!

I’m pretty excited, a few people said they would probably buy something too =]

Than I will read a chapter in my scriptures a little later today, I promise.

HOT weather

Monday evening-

I went on a walk during break. It was HOT outside but it would be nice to tan my legs a little. I also found a beautiful rose =]

After work Spencer and I made dinner. We watched Once upon a time. I then cleaned out the fridge and did the dishes. Spencer did some homework and I watched American’s got talent. Man that show is super crazy sometimes.

Than we decided to clean up our backroom and get rid of some junk and organize. It looks super nice. We just have to send some things to DI and get rid of a HUGE board of wood we have. We have room back there for whatever now. =]

We didn’t go to bed until about 11pm because we were reading or cleaning up things.

Tuesday-

Spencer has a FULL day today.

At night I’m always saying I’m going to get up and workout, I am so excited; can’t wait until morning. Than I get up and I don’t want to workout anymore. Then at work I want to workout but I’m at work so I can’t. I always WANT to workout when I can’t and when I CAN workout I never want to. I don’t want to have to force myself to workout I want to enjoy it and want to do it. It will come, I will figure something out.

I played a few little games this morning than took a little nap. Than just watched some TV before I had to get ready for the day.

I stopped at the bank to cash a check and off I went into the HOT day. I brought sunscreen this time. When I drive to work the sun beats on my left arm and when I drive home the sun beats on my left arm (only part of the way). This poor arm is going to be burnt or more tan then the other.

After work I plan to workout, eat dinner, and than take a nice walk outside. That’s what I plan to do and hopefully I will want to and stick with it. Also afterwards hopefully clean the kitchen & bathroom floors.

I need to make a summer playlist on my iPod I think.

I know I say this ALL the time but I really can’t wait until we have our own place with a washer and dryer.

Scripture reading today: Matthew Chapter 1

19. Joseph was young so he didn’t want people to think he got Mary pregnant and wasn’t married to her.

20. What a dream

21. I wonder what Mary and Joseph were thinking when their son was going to save people from their sins

23. God with us =]

What a responsibility, but boy was he probably an amazing child!

(This is my way of showing that I read my chapter for the day and what I get out of them if I am wrong you can tell me that’s fine)

Have a wonderful Tuesday

Here is a picture of Suki and Ryan at their wedding. This picture was taken by Ange her sister.

Mother's Day weekend!!

Friday evening-

After work we hurried and took then and now pictures. They turned out okay but you’re never as cute as you were when you were younger. But we had fun for the most part. I did some “Sing it”, I love singing but it’s not always fun with just me singing by myself.

Also I made some goals:

Spiritual-

Read a chapter from my scriptures every day

Say my morning and evening prayers

Read one Ensign Article a week at least

Physical-

Take walks with a group of friends in the evening when possible

Eat 1 vegetable & 1 fruit every day

Workout in the mornings at least 20 minutes a day

Knowledge-

Learn how to do something new. (Now I’m not sure what I want to learn yet, I could get a psychology book and learn more or learn how to cook a new food, or make a craft…..)

Then we plan on making a few couple goals as well sometime.

Saturday-

We relaxed a little bit. Spencer caught up on homework. Around 10:30am I went to Walgreens to make prints of the pictures for my mom. Than I went to my massage appointment at 11am. It wasn’t too bad; it was done by a guy. Which I’ve had done before but I knew the person, so it was a little weird just because I didn’t know the guy. It was a much needed massage though I had HUGE knots on both my shoulders; I really need to learn better posture.

Afterwards I came home and caught up on the dishes. Than we went to the church for a little bit so Spencer could catch up on church things. Than we took a needed nap especially me because when you get a massage it makes you so tired. Than around 3:30 we left to go to Tooele for the weekend.

My dad & Spencer went to see Avengers together. I met up with an old friend, Megan, and we talked for a little while. Than my mom and I went to Maurices for a little bit. I found modest shorts I’ve been wanting and I bought two shirts, they were having a Bogo sale. I learned something about a new friend but I’m not sure if I should write it on my blog even though a lot of people don’t read it and those who know her will find out really soon anyways. Mainly what I want to say is “I don’t love her any less than when I did before I found out.”

Sunday-

Mother’s Day!!! I hope all the mother’s out there had a great Mother’s Day. I had a lot of pain from cramps and things but other than that I had a good time with my family. We went to my parents ward and I held a super cute baby. Aw babies are just so adorable. After church we had hamburgers and hot dogs when Jessica & J got there. Then I took some pictures of Jessica & J together, they turned our really good! We had a kitty come in our backyard and we played with her, I love kittens!!! I was super exhausted but got some much needed sun on my legs. We finished laundry and got it all folded. Around 7pm Spencer and I came back to Salt Lake City and put everything away. Then we watched Once upon a time. We went to bed around 10pm because we were tired.

It was great to spend time with my mom and my family!!! Mother’s are the best =] And someday I will be a mother when the times right. And I will love every minute of it no matter what people say.

Monday-

We both woke up later than we meant to. And I’m already lacking a little on my goals, it’s hard when cramps keep you down. Either way I’m really going to try my best once I commit to them. But I did edit my sister’s pictures, and other random ones are on Facebook.

I’m going to do a Scentsy basket party at work sometime to help out Jessica with her Scentsy business.

Other than that it’s a slow day at work so far. I am just going to type up a few things and read my books =]




one of my favorites of Jessica & J




Here is them goofing off!




One of my favorites I took of J



I love bubbles in pictures



My handsome husband =]



Going to be an Aunt again =]

Thursday evening-

Another lonely day but I was able to get through it. I bought our tickets for Chicago, its all set and ready to go!!!!!! I watched some TV and than hurried to pick up Jerimiah! We went to Target to get some bowls for me, and then I helped him pick out a Mother’s Day gift for Jessica. He picked out red throw pillows for the couch, the little rascals movie, and a super cute card. Afterwards Jessica and I talked for a little bit and than I went home and watched TV while waiting for Spencer to come home. We watched some of the Up movie and than he did some homework. Than I also planned out what I would wear today for the pictures I’m taking =]

Friday-

This morning we slowly got up and ready. I lay in bed for a little while and Spencer did some homework. Than we watched some YouTube videos. Then he got ready for school and left around 9am. I watched some TV and than got ready for the day. I did my hair all curly with no pinning back anything. And have my clothes all ready to take pictures of when I was younger now older. I’m really excited!! Other than that and Spencer maybe needing to do homework it’s a free day! I’m struggling for what to have for dinner AGAIN but maybe we will do spaghetti tonight.

Tomorrow I am getting my massage, and than Spencer will catch up on homework. Then off to Tooele we will go! And we will be there until Sunday for Mother’s Day.

Oh and now I’m allowed to say Stephanie, my sister, is pregnant. She is due December 12^th; feel free to guess if she is having a boy or girl. I think it will be a girl but I’m usually wrong so it might end up being a boy. It would be nice to have a niece for once though lol but boys are super fun too.

I’ve just been tired of reading books, and watching TV what else is there to do besides crafts and stuff. I’m planning on setting myself goals; Spencer has a few he is working on too. I just haven’t written them down probably because if I write them down it means I have to commit to them and I am kind of afraid to do that.

It’s Friday! I hope you all have a great weekend and Happy Mother’s Day to all those wonderful mother’s out there including my lovely Mother and Mother-in-law! =]

"If Only"

Wednesday evening-

I made it through work slowly. After work I picked up Spencer and we had a quick dinner. Then he went to the church for some meetings. I watched some TV and typed up some things. I did the dishes, cleaned the floors and cleaned up the bedroom. Then remembered that I needed to call Bishop Salisbury! So we talked a little bit about us coming out to visit him and than our plans to hopefully stop in Iowa as well. I think we have it all figured out now we just need to take of the days in August & September. After that nice talk I went back to typing up some papers and watching TV. Than I got sick of watching the show I was watching. I started a movie than decided I didn’t want to watch it. Than I started another one and decided I didn’t want to watch it. Then I just sat on the floor and read my book for like 4 pages and ate some Oreos dipped in milk. Then I talked to my mom on the phone for a little bit. Then I was just feeling lonely. I usually like being home alone to just relax and get things done but tonight by 8pm I was over it. So I sat there just hoping Spencer would hurry home. I then decided to put on the movie “If only” (Jennifer Love Hewitt is in it) and than 20 minutes later he came home. He and I talked for a little bit and he got some food to eat. He got ready for bed and went to read his book and I finished my movie and CRIED, it’s a really good movie but it makes me cry all the time. It’s happy and sad, if you’ve never seen it check it out.

Thursday-

I lay in bed for a little while after Spencer left for school. Than I slowly got up and watched some TV and ate breakfast. Than I decided to straighten my hair =] Man is it getting long and you can tell since it’s straightened. That’s really exciting to me! It’s a fairly nice day outside today. I was able to take off the days for Chicago with no problem! It’s kind of a slow day so I just plan on reading and typing a few pages up here and there.

Later today Spencer will be at school until 9ish so I plan to take out J and hang out with him for a little while. I’m pretty excited but I won’t take him from his mom too long. =]

Other than that I have to plan my outfits for redoing my pictures when I was younger.

Someday I’m going to go someplace and sing a karaoke song; I’ve always wanted to have the guts to do that. But there aren’t a lot of clean places that you can go do that at. Also I’ve always lately wanted to just get up and dance to good old fun loving songs. Like Yakety Yak and so forth. When I was little we’d dance around the living room all the time to music and I miss being able to just do that. Maybe because I don’t have siblings around to dance with anymore. But I will plan for our future kids to love dancing and I will dance around the house with them =]

The week is almost over, have a great Thursday!

Book club at my place

Tuesday evening-

After work I headed home to clean up the house and I did it in record time I think. The dishes are all done and the living room was clean. I watched some TV while I waited for the book club members to come over. A few of them hadn’t finished the book but oh well. We discussed it a little and there were a few points I wouldn’t have thought of without another person’s perspective. Now it wasn’t my favorite book of all time and I wish I would have picked anther one but it wasn’t too bad. But other than that we all talked with one another for awhile. I love just sitting and talking with people and getting to know them better. They all left about 9pm and than Spencer arrived home from school. He had a LONG day but it was good for him to be home. I realized that him being at school takes him away from me but when he gets home and has homework that takes him away from me too. =[ It’s sad but it’s good that he is learning always.

Wednesday-

This morning he didn’t have to leave until 9pm so we slept in until about 7:40 and then got up. I read my book while he got ready for the day. Than after he left I watched some TV. It’s a fairly nice day out today. A few days ago I remember driving to work and thinking oh my gosh I’m 21. I don’t always mention my age to people so sometimes I forget that I’m getting older.

We’ve caught up on things at work so I’m just planning on watching some TV shows, and reading my book and typing up a few things.

Also just slowly making plans for Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan trip at the end of August if all goes well.

Time is sure moving fast but I reflect back occasionally and see how far Spencer and I have come together. =]

The week is half over already! I’m not sure what I plan to do at home while Spencer is gone. I probably will clean the kitchen a little bit.

Matilda

Monday evening-

I had a lot of trouble with my work computer. When I would click to open a document or open the internet it wouldn’t come up. So I had out Tech guy work on it. We got it working fine and than around 4:30 it acted up again. I’m not sure what’s wrong. (So far the computer seems fine today so we shall see) Than after work Spencer and I went grocery shopping! I love grocery shopping. And I ate my WHOLE dinner for once, it felt nice. Then Andrew came over to talk with Spencer so I watched some TV and read my book. I’ve been watching this TV show on Netflix called “The killing” its kind of like a crime show only the first 4 episodes have been about one crime so I’m not sure if the whole season is about it or not. Either way its fairly good and interesting.

Tuesday-

This morning I watched Matilda while I got ready for work. I love that movie expect for some parts. Than I cleaned the house a little bit.

Now at work I plan to finish the SD project, we are almost done. Than type up some pages, read my book, maybe watch some TV episodes an email some relatives. =]

Then when I get home tonight I am going to clean clean clean so the house will be ready for the book club that’s coming over tonight! I’m really excited to finally have a lot of people in our home. Or in general to come over and visit.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday Spencer is gone pretty much all day for school or church. So we mostly have Monday & Friday’s together (on the weekdays that is). I sure hope this school semester goes by fast!

I was looking at a picture of me when I was about 3 years old and MAN I was so cute. I would totally be okay with having a little girl that looked just like me =]

For Mother’s Day we are redoing cute pictures from when we were younger. I’m really excited; too bad my hair isn’t blonde like it used to be.

Suki's wedding!

Friday evening-

After Spencer and I cleaned the house a little bit we then went to see “Secret world of Arrietty” it was pretty good. It was really cute and sweet. I wish there would have been more but it was pretty good none the less.

Saturday-

What a busy but joyful day! We went to the temple for Suki’s wedding! Ryan teared up a lot which was for a lot of reasons but really sweet. Then we did a few pictures in the windy weather it was nice when the sun was out. This was the first time I actually met Ryan he is a fairly nice and funny guy. We than went to West Jordan to have a lunch in and than while we waited for the reception Mariah and Michael came with Spencer and I to Winco to get some snacks and keep ourselves busy. Suki was BEAUTIFUL by the way and I finally got to meet her dad and older sister Katie, very nice people. There were a few tears when she danced with her dad and I had tears welling up too. I didn't get any pictures but I know who did so I will post one or two when they come avaliable! Spencer and I left around 6:30 I’m so happy Suki is married and I hope they have a wonderful life together but I’m sure going to miss her because they are moving to Arizona =[

We came home to our Disney movies in the mail!!! So we watched Dumbo and did a few things and went off to bed. 

Sunday-

The twin girls were blessed in sacrament meeting today. Then nursery was fairly good. They had a lot of energy as usual but you can tell they are learning a few things =]

After my compassionate service committee meeting I am now over the babies in the ward. So if someone has a baby I find people to bring them meals and help them out if needed. And we have about 5 in our ward that is due between May-November. It will be a busy time but all should go well. I’m pretty excited about it. Then Spencer and I skyped with Bishop Salisbury for a little while. We are planning on going to Chicago around August 29^th – September 4^th if all works out well. And we will make a short stop in Michigan and a two day stop in Iowa. I’m super super excited!!! Then Spencer and I watched some movies while playing Yahtzee and Phase 10! We had a really nice time and I won every game which rarely happens when I play with Spencer.

Monday-

Spencer is back to school for another semester starting today. It’s really sad for me because I hate to see him gone all the time but when he is gone I think I clean better. I read some of my book this morning and did my hair pretty cute =]

Other than that just work today we have a project to do and my usual reading of my book and typing up some pages.

Tonight we plan to do a little grocery shopping and make cookies (maybe) and do FHE by watching a conference talk! =]

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday! Don’t worry this week will go by fast like all the others =]

The Cheesecake Factory

Thursday evening-

After work Spencer and I made dinner and watched some TV. He had to do a few church things so we really ended up not going to the movies but we might on Friday. We probably will go see Arrietty one. I finished another book and just relaxed. Later we went to DQ and I got their special of the month and I didn’t really like it. But oh well. Than went to bed around 10pm.

Friday-

Lately I’ve been waking up like I’ve taken sleeping pills like it’s really hard to open my eyes and get up. Not the normal I don’t want to get out of bed feeling. Around 8am Spencer and I did the 9am Temple session. It was pretty nice, at the beginning I was getting sleepy but I really tried to keep myself up, towards the end I was staying awake. The temple is great I love it! Than Spencer went school book shopping while I went to The Cheesecake Factory to eat lunch with the girls at work. Once a year one of the Representatives of our office pays for all the girls to go out to lunch! We were there from about 11:30-2:00 and I got paid the whole time! So now I’ve just barely gotten back to work and catching everyone up. I got the skinnylicious Pasta which was fairly good; it’s less than 560 calories. I had leftovers and had a fudge cake for dessert but took it to go. We ate out on the patio but it was a little chilly until the sun was shinning on you. We all enjoyed ourselves than I got dropped off at LDS Business College to get my car and head to work. Other than that work has been fairly slow and not much is going on. So I will probably just read a little and watch a show or two.

Maybe going to a movie tonight and grocery shopping for a few things. Tomorrow Suki is getting MARRIED!!! Spencer and I will be helping out a lot so it will be a full crazy busy day! Than nothing unusual on Sunday, just going to church.

Enjoy the weekend!!!!! =]

Butterfinger

Wednesday evening-

While Spencer was at the church I messed around with some songs on the computer. Than watched some TV shows on Netflix. The time past a lot faster than I thought it would. When he got home I downloaded some oldie songs on my iPod and some new songs! =] Around 9:30 I was exhausted so we read our scriptures and got ready for bed. Than I decided to dance crazy to my oldies music like: Sherry, Why do fools fall in love, Yakkety Yak, and etc. I haven’t gotten in a crazy mood like that in a long time and I don’t think Spencer has ever seen me like that actually. But he just was reading his book and smiled once or twice. He kept telling me to hand him his phone (to video tape me) but I wouldn’t, he could of gotten it himself if he really wanted to video tape me that bad. Anyways I enjoyed myself until after awhile I just kind of felt stupid. Than I just read for a little bit before bed.

Thursday-

We slowly got up this morning to head to the laundry mat. It always feels good to get the laundry done and put away but it takes effort to get their when you have to leave the house to do it. I mostly read my book while we waited for it all to finish. Than went home and showered and got ready for the day.

Later tonight I will probably do some dishes and a few things here or there. Another person got that duplex but that’s life it just means we weren’t meant to move yet or to that specific place. And not too much going on here at work just going to read the ensign and my book and type up a few things.

Yesterday when I read the ensign I became more excited for having children:

1. It’s such an honor that God let’s us raise His children, it’s a big responsibility but it’s such an honor I feel.
2. It’s a little piece of heaven you are given every time you have a child =]

It was really wonderful to understand that and be so grateful for the opportunity when it arises.

I’m going to eat a Butterfinger today, I miss those, and they use to be my favorite candy bar! =]

Have a wonderful Thursday…. Our soon to be weekend is going to be fairly busy!

Much needed sleep

Tuesday evening-

After work Spencer and I went home and had fish sticks and noodles. While Spencer was finishing up the food I did the dishes and he did the rest of them later. We watched Once upon a time and some crime shows on TV. Than did a little reading here and there. Around 9:30 I remembered I didn’t sleep well last night so I got ready for bed and read to relax. Than off to bed I went. It was fabulous. Spencer said when our Home teachers came over yesterday they talked about making goals. So he has made a few goals for certain areas and that I should come up with some. Right now I’m in the thinking process….. I have a few ideas but I’m going to think on it some more.

Wednesday-

Man did I get the sleep I needed. I was out and didn’t wake up until 7:30am when I needed to but it was hard to get up. It felt like I had taking sleeping medicine. It was much needed sleep. This morning we got ready to go to my jaw appointment. My jaw has moved a little and some swelling has gone down. They just readjusted the splint a little and than that was it. I will return in about a month. On our way home there were orange cones around 600 south and 900 east…. Annoying! Now this is annoying because they are blocking pretty much any lane or only leave a little gap to go through. There are no signs or person telling us what we need to do. There is a tree cutter going around cutting branches away from wires but I don’t think it has anything to do with that. Another thought was they painted new white lines around there because some look brighter but not all of them are so why would they only paint over part of it and not block off the whole entrance? Other than that we both went home and read our books and watched some Phineas and Ferb. At work we have about 2 projects: 1. isn’t ready yet for us to do 2. Is folding papers… which is fine its just time consuming and gives me a knot in my shoulder sometimes.

Other than that I have a new book to read, some TV shows to watch, the Ensign to read, papers to type up, and some things to organize. I am tired, hungry, and have a headache but maybe if I eat some food I will feel a little better.

Wish me luck!

Nonfat yogurt

Monday evening- I made it through work and headed out to South Jordan to spend some time with Suki. The traffic wasn’t too bad and thank heavens for GPS! I ended up locking my keys in my car though…. So we packed up her car with trash we needed to throw away and went to Costco. I ate a whole thing of that nonfat yogurt, yummy. Than we headed to Salt Lake City to get the spare key from Spencer and throw all her trash away there. I can’t believe I locked my key in the car again. Than we got a hold of her friend Sam in Bountiful so we headed out there to get her sewing machine he had. We chatted with him and his brother Frank for a little while and than headed back to South Jordan. We had a little snack and than went to watch Sweet Home Alabama. Which in reality we only watched maybe half of it than turned it off. We made a bed on the floor and Suki was out and talked in her sleep a few times, the normal Suki. Lol than it took me FOREVER to really fall asleep. It was ridiculous. I just wanted to sleep. I know for sure from 5:30-7:30 I slept pretty good. Other than that Suki and I had a fun filled day of talking and talking.

Tuesday- I left Suki’s house about 8:30am this morning and got home around 9am. One brilliant invention I have learned to love is when your coming on the freeway around traffic hours there are those stop lights so one car at a time has a turn. It’s BRILLIANT. There were A LOT of cars but we never had traffic or went super low speeds. I loved it! Anyways Spencer was still sleeping so I went in and said GOOD MORNING! Than we both got ready for the day and I hate oatmeal for breakfast! Yummy and than we just watched Phineas and Ferb until it was time to head off to work. Can’t until after work so we can hang out, its one of our non busy days! I love Spencer so much, he is amazing!
