Keepin up with the times!

The 3 kidlets!!! Brigham being the youngest, Grant in the middle, and of course Adelaide is the oldest. She is going to rule these 2 boys, I can just see it now!!

We have been keeping super super busy! I recently quit working for C3 which I hated having to do, but had no choice, I could only do part time, and they weren't letting me keep that. I am enjoying spending ALL this spare time with my little one! She is getting so big. We also found an apartment we can afford so we will be moving in there on the 19th of November! I'm really excited to have a space of our own again!

Ethan has also been keeping busy he is currently in Texas for 14 weeks teaching a training class! We've seen each other a couple of times flying back and forth C3 offered to fly out spouses, and as me quitting my job I'm down here for a month! It's very different down here, hot, humid, and dead! They don't have a lot of water down here, I thought we were off bad!

Adelaide is growing up so fast!!! she is 5 1/2 months! rolling like a crazy rolling pin, and always wanwting to play with mommy and daddy!! She likes to giggle, and wiggle,and absolutely LOVES to read! She obviously gets that from her daddy. She is getting very intersted in things that me and Ethan are doing, including eating and drinking anything that is a bright color! She likes to play with her binky, not exactly suck on it, but stick it in her mouth sideways and chew on it, it's really funny how entertained she is by it. She also loves the bath, she likes to kick and splash the water EVERYWHERE! It's really funny! Overall she is just super cute! And a very good baby!

Camping! Escalante!

2011-08-01T10:50:00.002-06:00

We went camping this summer with Adelaide as well, we don't have as many pictures as I would have liked but we did Lower Calf Creek hike, it's 3 miles each way, and we did excellent! Adi was in her snuggly with her daddy, which she loved soo much she got upset everytime we stopped, haha! At the end of the hike was a GORGEOUS waterfall! It was a little windy and it cooled us off! It was like a big giant mister I loved it!!

Update!!

2011-08-01T10:32:00.002-06:00

I have so much to update on, our lives are crammed full of craziness! My little Adelaide is already almost 3 months old!!! At her 2 month appointment she weighed 11 lbs 12 oz,(70%) her head was 75% and she was 24 inches long (70%) I can't believe how big she is! She is a very smiley baby and LOVES to wiggle!! ALL THE TIME!! Even as I feed her, she's nuts! And forget getting a smile when she's tired she is a grump box! But a cute one :)
Ethan and I are back to work it's hard to be away from my baby but the 40 hour week is only temporary then i go down to 20 thank goodness!! Ethan has recently been promoted to a "temporary trainer" position! I'm not sure why it's just "temporary" but it came with a raise, for which we are grateful for! (thank goodness for paying tithing!) Adelaide is basically our life after that, she is so amazing and happy, she is such a jabber mouth too! It's adorable! We love our angel girl!!

My beautiful princess 2 months old!

2011-08-01T10:13:00.007-06:00

Mary was sweet enough to give the gift of getting Adelaide's pictures taken by her friend, Caroline. Here they are! She is so adorable!

My sweet princess

2011-05-22T01:16:00.004-06:00

My baby girl is finally here!!
After 14 hours of labor.

Adelaide Jane Hind was born May 11, 2011
7 lbs 10 oz and 19 inches long

We are so happy to have her here despite the lack of sleep, and she really likes mommy to hold her at night, thus me typing this one-handed at almost 1:30am :) she is still my perfect little princess

3 days.... Technically 5 days, but who's counting?

2011-05-10T09:40:00.002-06:00

My body is tired and sore at this point, and is sick of being teased by my baby.
I swear I've been in this pre/false (take your pick of what you want to call it) labor crap for about 3 days now, and it's just not very nice anymore. We've had 2 false alarms where they tell me I am contracting but since they don't hurt, they're not doing anything, therefore they send me home. So here I am, waiting in uncomfortableness for my baby girl to decide to "man up" and come out into the real world.

My side hurts, I think it may be a rib, and usually it doesn't hurt to much as long as I'm sitting just right, this has changed since Sunday. It hurts all the time if I'm not laying down, I've been up and about for only about a half hour today, and it already hurts, and nothing seems to help except to lay down, which is just so darn boring!

According to my doctor's nurse, we were going for a May 5th due date, which was Thursday, and I tried not to give up my hopes on that day, and just stick with what I originally thought was the original due date of May 7th, I didn't do terrible I guess you could say, but now that both dates have passed, and I'm so much more uncomfortable this week, I'm tired, and ready for this to happen.

I have a regular appointment with my doctor on Thursday, where I'm sure he'll measure me and tell me what I already know (dialated to a 1.5, and 80% effaced) which is where I was last week. Sigh. At that point inducment dates will be discussed and I'll piss and moan until I get my way and he has me scheduled for the following morning because I am just so gosh darn uncomfortable and in to much pain to handle anything longer then that, so we'll see how my doctor takes to that.

I'll see if I can update my doctors appointment info on Thursday and keep everyone updated, don't hate me because I'm whiney :)

pathetic

2011-05-02T19:22:00.003-06:00

It seems I have nothing better to do, then to self loathe and blog.. My hormones the last few weeks have been absolutely off the charts, ridiculous! I seem to cry hysterically when I feel bad, or I feel like I'm making Ethan do something he doesn't want to do. Sigh* Tonight is one of those nights, so I'm leaving Ethan in the other room watching his Top Gear while I sulk because I wanted to go somewhere OUTSIDE of this house, and all he wants to do, is be IN the house, which I understand because he actually works and gets out. So I felt bad for even proposing going somewhere.
I assume most of this child-like behavior is mostly anxiety, I mean, I have 5 days until my actually due date and I can't see how anybody does this. Now I know I have all my sister-in-laws that have told me the last 6 weeks are the hardest, which they have definently been the slowest of this whole pregnancies, but this is just unbearable anymore even though I've had enough to at least keep me busy around the house, lots of cleaning and situating, I even cleaned out the fridge, hard core, the other day. Now I'm very high strung running out of things to do, and running out of things to keep my mind occupied while I sit here and wait for my sweet, sweet angel to come. Tomorrow's task will me mowing the lawn, on a riding lawn mower of course. Yes mowing the lawn, I'm that desperate...
I know I should get into scrapbooking my "grandma and grandpa" page but for whatever reason sitting there scrapbooking doesn't seem like enough to keep me occupied, I've mastered the fact that once I've received inspiration for a page I can finish it within about 30 minutes time, which I'm glad it takes me that long, but I wish it would be longer.

As you can tell I'm in a little bit of a bad mood, I apologize for that now, but it does feel good to vent to the internet for the time being. Maybe I'll go watch some TV downstairs, Ethan's show is still going on.

2011-04-21T17:39:00.003-06:00

Ok, so I've been trying to write this post for about 2 days and just keep getting distracted, so right now Ethan is taking a nap and I'm not on the phone with anyway so I'm taking the little motivation I have to blog right now and using it quick before it goes away.

Ethan has been doing really well, he's finished all of his assignements for his computer class and now has to wait until the semester is over to find out his grade, he's very grateful to have his Tuesday and Thursday nights back! He's also become very motivated to get back into shape and not be "doughy" as he puts it. Ethan is also very very anxious for his baby girl to come, I'm pretty sure he's more than attached to her already, everytime I have react to a braxton hicks he asks "is that a contraction?" He'll make a good daddy I'm sure about it!

I'm here awaiting our little girl to come, we went to the doctor today and it's actually moving along!! I'm just barely to 1cm and about 30% ephased! Which makes me so excited! I think I might be more excited because I actually know if there is any progress or not my doctor hadn't measured me in 3 weeks, I was getting a little irritated. I'm trying to keep busy for these last 2 weeks so I don't totally go nuts, and being up and about will eventually find gravity and be my friend :)

My little Adelaide is almost here! She is quite the mover in the evenings, and I've also found that if she won't calm down at 3am I just gently pat my belly, where her bum would be for a good 5 minutes or so, and it actually calms her down, I was really surprised the first time it worked I thought it was just a one time thing, but it works everytime!!! It's so bizaar!

This will probably be the last post before my little girl comes, but I will post pictures on here eventually, and they'll be on facebook, of course.

Pictures!

2011-03-05T09:42:00.002-07:00

Ok so here are the pictures I've been talking about for the last 2 post, they're not totally up to date, but It'll work... I'm 31 weeks now, I can't believe how close, but how far away I am. It feels far away anyway. We got our crib which won't probably have pictures until we move, because we don't want to set it up twice. I have a shower at work that a few people are participating in on Wednesday, and then my mom is doing a shower for me on the 19th, so still a lot of stuff to come, which I'm excited for! Adelaide is a little busy body it seems like she moves constantly, which I'm grateful for it just means she is healthy :)

12 weeks???! Where has the time gone?!

2011-02-13T18:20:00.003-07:00

Yes I have 12 weeks left!!! I can't believe it. I'm sure it will be the slowest 12 weeks of my life, but right now it seems like such a short time away.
Another month has come and gone and a lot of things have happened, again. My little girl is doing wonderfully, she is very active during the day, and is wonderful enough, for right now, to let me sleep through the night even though it's getting harder and harder to get comfortable with my growing belly. I've officially gained about 15 pounds total, this last month was the most I've gained my whole pregnancy, 9 pounds! before was 6 pounds so here I am, and it is all baby from what I can tell. I did have to go into a physical therapist last week and she said my left hip isn't rotating the way it should, and my pubic bone sits crooked the left side is lower then the right,and it doesn't meet up level like it should. So she taped up my back, just an X, for some support but that was short lived after a few days, it started to itch, so we took it off and I had a red X where the tape was, which shouldn't happen. We also have resistance excersices that seem to help a lot as well. I go in again on Thursday.
Ethan I think is getting a little anxious for Adi to get here, I had my first shower yesterday that was a blast, and I think it really helped him realize what the heck is going on :) he is doing well with school and his one class that he's taking, he usually stays busy during the week. Tuesday and Thursday he has class for about an hour and a half, and Wednesday nights he has mutual, so by the time Friday rolls around he doesn't want to do anything, which is ok with me, it's cheap that way. He is also currently trying to figure out how to get pictures on here, we lost the cord to our camera so we have to do it some weird way now, there will be pictures of the shower yesterday, and of my little bump as well. That's all for now...

p.s. We're going to Vegas on Friday!!! I'm really looking forward to our 4 day weekend!!!

Oh heavens!

2011-01-21T20:52:00.002-07:00

So I don't have pictures or anything just an update for everyone.
Ethan is currently enrolled in 1 class at SLCC he signed up a little late, and the computer class he's in will do him some good in the future. He's keeping busy with that, and working sometimes working overtime as well he's usually there a half hour early anyway (because I work 7-3:30 and he works 7:30-4) then I work a half hour at the end of my shift, so between that and school, and mutual Wednesday nights he's been keeping pretty busy!
I am also working my half hour of over time everday, we are also doing this next week as well so it'll be nice to have the extra money. I've been struggeling to stay awake lately, I feel like I'm back in my 1st trimester again, and it's in a nasty, nasty way. I sleep solid (except for my relieving myself at 2am) for 8 hours a night, and then I still come home with a "tired headache" and take a nap then I still sleep another 8 hour night.. Sigh I'm going to talk with my doctor next time I go in and see if I can get a different prenatal. I've also been having an eye twitch for almost 5 days now when I close my eyes, right belowe my eyebrow twitches like crazy until I'm relaxed enough to finally fall asleep. It could be brought on by a number of things.. Either full all lack of sleep and it's my bodies way of telling me so, or my potassium level is low, I'm sure it's both to some extent. My last doctors appointment was interesting, we got to hear Adelaides heart and she is healthy as ever! Mom on the other hand is having a seperated joint problem in her hip, which hurts when I roll over in bed, so the doctor said I needed to see a physical therapist to get it taped which I assume means get a form of support on it, so it'll stop seperating...
So now for the final piece of news that may be causing my twitching eye/stress/sleep issues. Me and Ethan have decided to move to Rock Springs, Wyoming, there are good reasons we are going to "no-man's land" Western Wyoming Community College is where Ethan's brother, Tracey, currently lives and we've discovered that Ethan has most of the credits for a degree or 2 there, that will allow him to walk into a $60,000/year paying job.. In the mean time Ethan can finish the degree he wants, work, and make enough money to support all 3 of us... Now this won't happen until after Adelaide is born and then some.. We are thinking end of June or beginning of July. A date is not picked yet, but the decision is pretty much made, but we'll try to keep you updated on everything. Hope all is well! Adi says hi as she punches my bladder :)

SHE'S A GIRL!!!!!!

2010-12-29T19:22:00.002-07:00

Yes she is my sweet little girl!!! Today, at least, she's been just an active little thing, while waiting for Ethan today to get off work she kicked me pretty hard for a good 20 minutes, unless i put my hand down on her. It was so weird!
I'm about 21 1/2 weeks, just OVER half way through!!! I can't hardly believe it! Oh my! Her name will be Adelaide Jane Hind, we'll call her Adi for short. She likes chinese food, but does not do well with sugars! Not at all! So I've been trying to eat lots of apples, and oranges. I hope you enjoy her cute little pictures!

18 weeks!!!!

2010-12-08T17:46:00.002-07:00

So I decided since I'm on hold to sign up for insurance!! and it's been almost a month since I've blogged! I would blog. Go me!
Both Ethan and I are still working at the same place Ethan had his first day of calls today (more like 30 min, but who's coutning?) He said it wasn't bad, it was good to get some phone calls and put into practice what they've been learning for the last 4 weeks. He's been doing really well with all his assessments they've had to do, so I'm proud :)
They've moved me to a different department because they are all but eliminating the one I was in, so I'm doing some training for that for the rest of the week and next and I'll be done and back on the phones doing something TOTALLY different, it should be interesting, I've been enjoying training for the most part except sometimes my trainer just lectures for long periods of time and it's SO BORING! But I'm learning a lot!
Baby is doing GREAT! I'm 18 weeks, yesterday, and I'm finally not so flippin tired all the time! I'm still getting the best nights sleep every night then I ever thought possible! I'm starting to feel baby as well he (yes I said he because I think that's what he is :)) likes to sit in my lower right area, he feels like a lump sometimes, and I'm feeling, what I'm sure, is punching lol I'm not sure what it is, but it's almost like my stomach spasms, for lack of a better word. but mostly he's a lump :)
We go in for our ultrasound on the 16th as well!! And we're going to be difficult and make everyone wait until Christmas!!! We wanted to do it a fun way that tied in with Christmas, Ethan suggested to have the ultrasound a surprise to US!! immediately turned that down! I hardly to wait to tell people we were pregnant let alone withold my childs gender from myself haha! So we're going to wait to tell everyone until Chrimtmas, this should be interesting!
I'm really excited for the holidays to be here I've got ALL my shopping done, and am ready to see Ethan's face! And I'm ready for all the family to in town as well! I'm miss the Schroeders!
That's all for now, I will probably be back on after Christmas to post ultrasound pictures :)

Real quick

2010-11-11T09:49:00.003-07:00

So here's my quick update (I'm at work and really bored, and probably really shouldn't be on here :)) So far we are all doing well, both Ethan and I have a job (At the same place :)) having fun he's half way through training i think and we are super slow, but come Monday it's suppose to pick up significantly.
My in-laws for the last 8 days or so have been in Hawaii and as much as I miss dinner made by someone else, we've really really enjoyed having the house to ourselves it's been fun to just hang out one on one. We pick them up on Saturday their flight gets in at 6:45am! So early! But good!
Baby is doing fine, we haven't been back to the Dr.'s yet (I know I know I"m going to make an appointment for Tuesday I think) but I feel like I've been doing pretty good we are 14 weeks along! From my app on my i pod :) it says my baby is about 3.6 inches long! So weird! and from now on it'll grow about and inch a week! How awesome is that! And weird! :)
Hope you've enjoyed my short update :)

2010-10-07T13:06:00.002-06:00

Alright here's my Jelly Bean!!! The first picture shows his heart it's the whiter spot towards the head.

The next picture is of his little nubs for hands and feet!!! I didn't cry (i'm kinda proud, but I think the ultra sound tech thinks I'm heartless now) and my new due day (again) is May 11!!!!!!!!!! Happy Mother's Day!!

Almost there

2010-10-05T13:28:00.002-06:00

We have less then 2 days to go until I have my first ob/gyn appointment for my little Jelly bean! We're here at week 9, and I've never felt so tired ALL THE STINKIN TIME! Ugh! I'm not sure what to do to change it, because I can't have caffiene. And I start a job, with c3 again, on the 18th I was lucky enough to take the 7-3 shift, I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to function in the mornings like that :( But I'm more willing to wake up early and see my husband then sleep in and not see my husband until 11:30pm. If you have any suggestions that would wake me up that would be fantastic!
We have also been having car issues again, Ethan is pretty sure that we might know how to fix it, the engine fans have their own relay and it looks pretty tattered and beaten up, so we're hoping that will be the trick to fix it! Stupid cars, and after we fix the Civic, we're going to move onto the Camry, it's been pretty consistant in not starting after we drive it for 5 minutes, so we're hoping there is some kind of trick or test that we can do to figure it out, it stresses me out really when we drive in the camry. So I'm stranded at home with nothing to do except catch up on my Grey's Anatomy (even though I'm pretty sure I get choked up with every episode) Freakin hormones!
All in all I'm pretty excited for Thursday, hopefully we'll have some sort of picture/update and what not.

8 weeks!

2010-09-27T14:18:00.002-06:00

This is probably going to be short, I don't have a lot to blog about today, but I'm now 8 weeks along I have my first appointment on the 7th of October, and I'm kind of getting excited. I've slowly noticed that Ethan is more into playing with the little ones when they are around, I don't know if he does it consciencely or not, but it's fun to watch. I've been lucky I haven't been sick hardly at all, I've learned that eating every 3 hours is going to take some getting used to, and the fact then when I am hungry doesn't necessarily mean I need to eat a whole meal! I'm getting better at it though which is good. In return of the whole not being sick thing though my face has been breaking out really really bad! I'm totally having flash backs of when I was a little 15 year-old needing to take accutane because NOTHING could get rid of my acne! I'm learning to deal with it though, I've been trying to be more active about life since I have nothing better to do, I'm trying my darndest to go to the gym as often as I can to either jog, or ride a bike, it makes me feel like I've done something (speaking of which I should be doing laundry, boo!) My sister-in-law, Nichole has also inspired me to start cross-stitching and/or crochet again, I used to do it when I was a Laurel, but stopped just cause my social life took over.... Well now my social life is well... There really isn't one haha! So I went to Roberts and they didn't have what I'm used to (the press on cross stitch) so I bought some needle point thing with a saying on it, and I'm contemplating if that will suffice for now or if I should've gone to wal-mart to see if they had what I want, I may go tonight when Ethan gets home. Well that's life in a nut shell for right now (literally not even a nut shell my little 'jelly bean' is about 0.63 inches from top to bottome)

Well here it is.

2010-09-12T21:09:00.006-06:00

Alright everyone here it is for you, because apparently my mother has told half of her ward, which I found out today! Geez! But I'm pregnant!!!!

I'm about 6 weeks along and I have my first appointment on October 7th.

Bitter

2010-07-14T13:18:00.001-06:00

I'm slightly bitter about my blog lately, pretty sure it's in vain, but that's ok I don't care.

So I'm taking a break for a while, how long? I have NO idea!

Happy Birthday Ethan!!!!!

2010-07-09T17:41:00.004-06:00

So I know I'm a day early on this but I want to have all my attention on Ethan tomorrow, he is going to be the big 25!! And I'm the lucky girl that has been married to him for 15 months now! Here are just some pictures of him... 4th of July parade!

..... Backpacking
On our 1 year anniversary.
He loves taking self portraits!
Holding Haylee... he's so excited!

I'm here and alive I promise!

2010-06-29T11:22:00.002-06:00

I have absolutely nothing to really blog about, and I kinda want to post more pictures but I've been really lazy, and don't wanna.
Living with the in-laws still isn't so bad, it's kinda fun we'll occassionally do movie nights together if we have a netflix we all like.
Job hunt is hunting, we're still struggeling to find a job, and there are only so many that I'm really qualified for, it makes me slightly regret not finishing school in Provo, oh well..

As I'm typing here a preview for Eclipse comes on which always reminds me, it's going to be another 2 weeks or so before I see it, and I'm seeing it during the day... ack!

..Also got my first speeding ticket last week, ugh there goes $90 I don't have!
.. Got to play with the Schroeder kids last week as well I love them sooo much, also saw Cyd sing with the Mormon Youth Choir/Orchestra, it was great!!!!

That's all for now :)

2010-05-17T10:45:00.003-06:00

It's been far to long since I've updated my blog, and I still don't have much to talk about. Sad huh?!
I've now started working at Kohl's I really don't mind it except working on my feet for long periods of time is taking some getting used to. One thing that got on me though was when I was hired they knew I wanted Sundays off they never said availability was required really. So when I had looked at my schedule for this week and saw that I was scheduled yesterday, i was upset, if I'm going to work a Sunday I'm going to go work for Smith's where I can make like $10/hour instead of minimum wage. So that's the idea after I get my lazy butt out of bed :)
But I would like to get out and enjoy the great weather! So that's always really nice!
GO GOOD WEATHER!!!!!!

Bills, Bills, Bills...

2010-04-23T07:41:00.002-06:00

So first things first.... I was laid off on Monday due to their "attendance policy"... Sigh what a joke. It's not my fault I lost my keys. So I'm A. grateful I live with my in-laws. B. Rapidly looking for a job with benefits because my poor husband thinks he needs to be allergic to everything! (check facebook pics for more info) My poor husband! I can't say that enough!

We finally got a gym membership at Gold's, it's been really nice to get back to working out and getting into shape! And it comes with tanning! Yes it's going against everything I have ever stood up for, with their "skin cancer in a box" but I need (a.k.a. want) to be tan :)

I've also been learning sign language too! Living with Grandma (who's deaf) has been fun she's always complaining that nobody talks to her though, so I got some books from the library to help and she helps me too.... a lot! But I have a still have SOOOO much to learn! I haven't even hardly begun!! *sigh* sometimes it's slightly overwhelming!

Also, we are going to finally fix out Civic!!! We bought an engine a couple weeks ago, and it's in Rock Springs, Wy awaiting our arrival, we are leaving today, and we're hoping that the rain lays off so we can get through to Wyoming! But I'm excited that we're going to have a 2nd car again! EEEeekkk!

Another month come and gone

2010-03-15T20:41:00.002-06:00

Here we be again it's been about another month or so and haven't updated the blog (sorry) not a lot has changed. My sweet niece Haylee was blessed a couple weeks ago, I just stinkin love her! She's so sweet!! My other Niece Olivia, or 'newt' was also baptized! I'm so super proud of her! Such a tom boy but she looked beautiful! It was a sweet baptism! And I also have a new niece! Megan Kate!!! Welcome to the Hind family! She is a fatty! she's only a week old and Erin says she is 10lbs 13oz!!!! eek! I so love her! Oh yeah! My bff Kenna got married on the 13th! Oh how her reception was so different! It was carnival themed haha popcorn, cotton candy, and face painting!!! It was a lot of fun and so different! Ha!

Work lately has been pretty decent. Been doing outbound calls... *sigh* (I love my job I love my job I love my job) needless to say, it's stressful and bringing back slightly painful memories of Discover Card... Ugh! We are also moving in with my in-laws as of the 20th of this month so we will no longer be in south salt lake, and back in the WJ, word up! That should be an eventful day... Sigh.... I've also developed this relentless cough that doesn't subside at a job where you talk all day long. It's pretty stupid and un called for.

Ethan is also very busy with school and working part time. He was thrown off this morning with the time change, we are very tired. it's ridiculously lame haha (only cause I feel the same way) Whoever did this whole day light savings crap can stick it, there's no point to it. His Civic has also died the engine is gone and done, we're now trying to save to get another engine somewhere cheap or get a new car so if anyone has ideas let us know!

That's pretty much all from this side of things leave comments show love, peace out.

p.s. Congrats to Ashley Crapo getting MARRIED on Thursday! And Laina that has her mission call, I'm not sure where to yet though. I love you both!

It's time

Merry Christmas!!!
I know it's been about a month since I've updated not much is really been going on or anything, same stuff. We have our very first Christmas tree and presents are under the tree!!!! Woot! Of course it's not the season until I get some eggnog, so I'm here drinking it while typing it's pretty great!
Ethan has been getting a little extra money from the clients in his building, it's pretty pretty good, needless to say I've benefiting from it too :)
Work has been fantastic! I absolutely love it! I've been getting really close with a co-worker, Kendra, she's hilarious! Pretty much a twinner really!!!
I can't wait there is only 3 more days until Christmas!! How crazy?!?! I can hardly believe it!
I love you all so very much! Thank for being such amazing friends!

p.s. Congrats to a few people before I forget.
Ashley Crapo, your engaged!!!! Ah!!! How exciting! Good luck with everything! He's so lucky to have you as a wifey!
Cyd, of course, you've made me an aunt again!! and it's Reagan's twin almost!!! You know I love that little girl!! I can't hardly wait to see you in a couple of weeks!
Dawn and Paul! Your leaving us to go to "The Big City" with your girls!! I'm going to miss you all very much, it's going to be a blast I know it will be!

It's been a while, yes?

2009-11-16T20:15:00.003-07:00

So I wish we had more options as far as font style goes. The 8 options we get get kinda old after so long. Anyway.. I just thought of that as I went to change my font lol

These days have just been crazy! I don't work as much as some people but I'm trying to work off my butt!! Work is really good, I'm kinda struggeling, maybe a little bit but for one reason or another I still enjoy it.

This last weekend Ethan and I went to Rock Springs and enjoyed ourselves immensley!! I got to hang out with my 3 nieces, and 1 nephew, Emma, Holly, Samuel (sammy boy) and Hannah! I've learned they LOVE their pictures taken! I think I have about 14 new photos of them now on my phone hahaha! We also got our heater fixed (when it's on level 4) which is better then it was.. StOrY tImE: As we were driving to Rock Springs Friday night, I went to switch the direction of the heater and must have kicked some wire or something down by my feet cause all of a sudden we hear a "pzzz!" and see a flash...... Not good, we turned off the heater and checked it out in Evanston we ended up blowing a fuse and was able to have some warm air it just wasn't circulating, so we had it towards us for awhile, but then the window started fogging up and we had to change it. Luckily we had a big blanket in the truck!!!! GOOD JOB HUSBAND!!!!

I also went shopping while in Rock Springs! Believe it or not they do have clothing stores hahaha!It was fun I got a cute coat, a pair of black pants, a black long sleeve shirt, and a red turtle neck that does that swoopy neck thingy, they were all on SALE! It was wonderful! And will definitely help my work wardrob for sure!!

Ethan has been doing a really good job in school and working part time as well. So far so good in passing math and Geology, next semester..... Full time+! Wish him luck, it'll be a good experience for the both of us!!

Oh! And here's my opinion on some movies haha:
1st: Up--Amazingly adorable movie!! I almost cried it was so sentimental!! I'm such a sap! haha
2nd: Knowing-- with Nicholas Cage....? Uh... Um.. Well to say the least, it's a TERRIBLE movie!!! I do not suggest this in the least bit! It was so stupid! ugh! I totally wasted my time with that one.
3rd(wow I've seen more movies then I thought!!!): Michael Jackson--Yes please, and Thank You, it was a fantastic movie! That I absolutely LOVED, but unfortunatly I couldn't help thinking "it's a damn shame that he looks SO much like a girl with so much talent!" hahaha, but go see this one it's a keeper!

Oh and we bought our VERY first Christmas Treeee!!! yay! I can't hardly wait to put it up, it makes me so anxious to see it sitting there in a box! ha! I'm trying to be patient.

2009-10-06T21:47:00.002-06:00

So I'm in a VERY BAD MOOD right now. I need to vent via internet. although it seems to not be my friend lately either.

I'm upset/frustrated/tired/livid!
Upset because my family seems to not tell me anything, I feel if I just didn't contact any of them for a month, they wouldn't even notice!
Frustrated due to the fact that they wouldn't even notice! And this whole blogging thing blows these days, nobody says anything, and out of the many people's blog that I follow, they NEVER update!
Tired because my body is still adjusting to having a real job (which I actually like at the moment)
Livid, because I went to visit my family tonight while my husband picked up some extra hours tonight, and they weren't home!!! So I came to my own apartment, after waiting around for 2 hours, and came home to my door being unlocked and suddenly feeling a terrible feeling, but it was just my husband NOT paying attention and NOT locking the door. We're lucky nothing was stolen, especially considering our BRAND NEW PRINTER and LAPTOP is sitting right inside the door on our desk!!!
OH and I don't exactly appreciate the fact that my bedroom is a mess, I'll admit it's not always my husband, but ya know what.....? He can clean every once in a while too!!

There is my vent.... You don't like it, don't read it.

Here are my pictures I was talking about!

2009-09-24T21:23:00.005-06:00

First and foremost, fruit by the foot, pretty much great!

Second, out lovely printer that we've dreamed about since we moved in, it's great!

My black light!!! I'm so getting ready for Halloween!

Halloween sticky stuff! It says "scary night" it's pretty much awesome!

THE going on's

2009-09-24T15:00:00.003-06:00

So as far as 'going on's' there pretty much isn't any, my hubby is taking a much needed nap, and I have nothing to do, so I'm blogging and listening to some old school Weezer.

This week has been pretty lame, I am only working 2 days this week, which are tomorrow and Saturday, and of course I have NO motivation to do anything, although now that I think about it, I have some pictures I want to put up of somethings Ethan and I got yesterday at Wal-Mart, the land of foreverness.........................
Maybe next post, I can't find the chord to plug in the camera, oops!

Anyway, I was able to finally finish Twilight-for about the millionth time-I'm trying to get geared up for the New Moon release! Hopefully I'm able to find someone other than my husband to go with, that isn't opening night (sorry baby but it's just not the same haha)

Currently I'm slightly feeling like I'm going to puke, that's what I get for being a girl, slightly bloaded (is that how you spell that? I'm to lazy to check) crampy, crabby, tired, lazy, odd cravings.... Well not odd it's just the basics, Pringles, and brownies... I'm SUCH a Jensen (that would be a family joke, Meg you better get that one haha)

Oh one last random thing! If ANY of you would like a little somethin from Mary Kay, let me know ASAP I'm talking ASAP becasue I'm putting in an order tomorrow by noon. Facial cleansing, Lipstick, eye shadow, echeek blush, etc... Seriously let me know and I can have it to you hopefully by the end of next week, just let me know.ye liner, lip liner, etc... If you want specific colors go check it out at marykay.com it has EVERYTHING!

11 places I love to flippin eat!! (and why)

2009-09-16T21:49:00.004-06:00

1. Taco Bell-- Mainly I just like it because of their taco supreme's, I love the taste of sour cream on a taco!!

2. Leatherby's--cheesefries+frysauce=deliciousness on a plate!

3. Cafe Rio-- enough said

4. Zupas--THE BEST CLAM CHOWDER EVER!!!! Better than my mom's- I can say that only because she agrees with me!- Mixed with a panini California w/no tomatoes of course, purely epic!

5. Arctic Circle-- I can't really explain it, but I think they have the best hamburgers I've ever tasted, just the right amount of pickles and ketchup is simply delicious fast food.

6. McDonalds-- Yes I said it! I absolutely LOVE their breakfast burritos! They're my fav! It's also very simple when I feel like getting in the car for something to do (before 10:30 of course)

7. Enjoy-- Oh Enjoy, how I enjoy you! Delicious cream cheese wan tons, and amazing sauce on my egg rolls, how I desire you 75% of the time... mmmmmmm (may I note to everyone to go eat here, it's about 7800s just east of 2700w, behind the Alberto's, it's cheap, but VERY delicious!

8. Wendy's-- "Can I get my usual please" Amy said "Why, yes, yes you can, Chicken nuggets, fries and a chocolate shake?" The helpfull employee responds. "perfect"
(yes that is my usual order, in high school I might has well had this conversation.)

9. Subway-- after I go on a fast food kick, and want to feel healthy I turn to my trusty subway for a club with Turkey, green peppers, cucumbers, some mayo, olives with baked chips (which I believe have less calories) and to off set it all a Dr. Pepper haha

10. Arby's-- Number 2 with some horsy, and arby's sauce with curly fries please! *sigh* also deliciousness!

11. KFC-- this is at the bottom of the list, because it is definently though of, just never followed through very often, even though their commercials really do make me crave it nightly!
"Dad how can you hate the colonel?"
" Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it nightly, smart ass!"
-So I married an axe murderer

Looking back at this sad list (because I have absolutely nothing else to blog about) I eat a lot of junk food. I'm thinking of cutting it all out, yes all of it. But I don't have enough self discipline haha.

It's been a very long month!

2009-08-24T10:36:00.002-06:00

So I was looking on here the other day and noticed I haven't been on in a while to update you all on my, oh so very exciting life. It does seem that we're off doing so many things lately, most recently my sweet niece, Holly, got baptized up in Rock Springs, WY. It was so great to see her become a brand new member of the church, she will be amazing! That was also the same day as my 21st birthday, so we all celebrated the baptism and birthday by going to the races, they are my redneck divulgence!! I absolutely loved it I had a blast!
Week before was the Coogle family reunion, we went camping in the Uintah's. Thursday a smaller group of us went backpacking, for my first time!! It was nice (except all the rain) Ethan, then entered a recipe for the dutch oven cook off!!! May I say it was absolutely delicious! I'm very very proud of him :)

Ethan starts school tomorrow and loses his full time status at work, so I'm really really trying to get it goin' with looking some kind of job... *sigh* School will be interesting, and hopefully we are almost done with generals and get the real work goin. My aunt has also been helping me look for a job I'm very much on my way to the website to look for the job and apply for it! I'm hoping for the best!

Ethan and I had the great oppurtunity to witness some good friends getting married last Wednesday, they are stinkin' cute! The ceromony was absolutely beautiful! I love you Cameron and Kaylie, come home! haha

This weeks update

2009-07-30T14:06:00.002-06:00

So I'll start with this last Sunday, Ethan and I were both up and meeting with the bishop by 8:30 (which is early for us) Ethan was set apart as the membership clerk I then was asked to acquire 2 more callings! Now those of you that have lost track I'm currently Young Single Adult Rep (with Ethan, AND we have no young single adults in our ward, so we don't do much ha) and Primary Pianist (which by the way is not going that bad). So back to my new callings, Cub Scout leader, and Activities committe :) it should be exciting. That evening we went to the in-laws for the birthday dinner, Ethan got a few clothes and some camping stuff..

Basically Monday- Wednesday was basically nothing, some working out and what not, Wednesday my sister-in-law, Nichole hopefully was suppose to be induced this day, but wasn't far enough along, her actual due date is on Friday so I'm hoping I'll have a little nephew by then!!! Plus I sympathize because she's about to flippin pop!!
Tomorrow, Ethan leaves for his bachelor party with his buddies, they are going backpacking, I'm no to sure how I'll do but I'll be staying with my parents, and Friday there will be Amy and Jess time with some Alfred Hitchcock movies!!!! Yay!! I can't wait!! It'll be great!

I've also made a website for my dear little brother so go check it out, www.dearelder.com/Elder_rust (you have to have the capital E) It's fun :)

Mother Effin!

2009-07-23T12:13:00.002-06:00

Ok totally ignore that last thing... I went back to the dashboard and yeah all of them showed up... I'm so confused, *sigh*
Anyway since I'm here, for the second time, I'll update. Ethan and I are doing good, he spent some time in Rock Springs, WY last weekend, it was our first time apart.. Neither one of us slept very well that night. And we get to do it again next weekend when he goes backpacking for his friends bachelor party we'll see how that goes. Our few days in St. George were just great! We swam a lot and got some color, it was great!
We've been trying to stay busy in the evenings and try and be social, we're slowly coming out of our 'newlywed stage' but very slowly.

2009-07-23T12:08:00.002-06:00

Ummm.... So I logged into my blog today and it said I wasn't following any blogs, so there were no updates on anything............. So can I so get everybodies URL again?
I'm slightly confused of why this is being this way, but very upset... Sigh

HAPPY BIRTHDAY E.P.!!!!!!!

2009-07-13T20:03:00.003-06:00

So Friday was Ethan's birthday we didn't do anything spectacular, but we hopped in the Buick and drove down to Mosquite, Nv to eat some seafood buffet at the Eureka, it was delicious!! I got Ethan his backpacking stove that he wanted from R.E.I. Hopefully he'll enjoy it one his backpacking trip at the end of July.
St. George is VERY hot! But I sure do love it! We went swimming Sunday and we all def got some sun Ethan is pink pink pink on his poors shoulders, I'm pretty pink myself on my shoulders and face, but that is to be expected from my white self haha, but I'm havin some fun, we saw Transformers 2 today it was good, I was glad to see some more action that the first, Wednesday is time for Harry Potter!!!!! We got a matinee so I'm hoping not a lot of people with be there, we'll see.

I've kinda been missing my friends lately it's been so long since I've had Jess, and Laina time, there has been a lot on my mind I feel necesesary discussing with those 2, it's just been to long, it's almost like we've already fallen out of our "newly-wed" stage, unlike other couples who probably still are, I guess we're a little different though, don't get me wrong Hind family I still absolutely LOVE E.P. As I always will, but it's almost like we've become accustomed to not being with each other constantly. Oh well we'll see what happens.

p.s. my older brother has a blog somewhere around here, I just need to figure out the url lol

VERTICAL HORIZON/CARTEL

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR1Eqpv7fao
this is cartel, but still good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJoUlIubpPk
Not an actual video but the song is there.
p.s. another cartel.

Oops

2009-06-12T10:58:00.002-06:00

So I just noticed it's been like 3 weeks since I've updated. I have some good reason, but only a select few of you know why, and well those select few are... My husband, basically. :) he knows everything
I know a few people getting married this month right now a friend of mine is getting married like right now probably! It's exciting, it'll be nice to go and see her married and what not, it's fun.
I do have to express the fact that it's been raining... Like actually raining for the last little while and I LOVE it!!! It's just so much fun!
Other than that I've been spending time with my amazing hubby bubby, we finally went to the temple yesterday, which was awesome! I've never done a session in the Salt Lake Temple so it was different, although it took over 2 hours, so we didn't get out until just after 9, but it was nice to get away.
Travis got surgery about a week and a half ago, he had tweaked something doing his excersices, and if you know my brother he his a big big kid, so this tweak hurt so bad he couldn't get up the stairs we finally got him out of his apartment, and he had a fragment in his lower back. So he got some surgery and I can't lie, he's just so hilarious when he's JUST out of surgery my hair was curly that day we went to see him, and he looked at me with a weird look and asked what did I do to my hair. lol It made my day. Well I hope that suffices for everyone I'll try to be better.

Sold!

2009-05-21T12:53:00.002-06:00

Sorry ladies, my fabulous mother in law offered me $40 for the 6.5 qt crock pot, at this point I'll just be happy to get rid of it. Sorry I never got a picture up, I'm kind of a slacker.

Ummm.... I don't have much to say. Tuesday I got to spend time in the rain with Jess!!! Oh it was much needed, and so much fun! We had a picnic and then continued to swing while it randomly down poored on us! :)

Job hunt right now is just terrible, still! But I'm still applying like a mad woman, if anyone has ideas it would be great! :)

for sale!!!

2009-05-14T15:54:00.002-06:00

So before I tell you all what is "for sale" I have to tell the story of why I didn't return this particular item.
Of course we got it for one of our gifts, we actually got 3, we kept one, my mom bought the other one off of me, and what's left??? The big 6.5qt crock pot, it's silver, never been opened, and I have tried to return it EVERYWHERE! SMP, sears, wally world, target, bed bath & beyond, and no one knew where else to take it. *sigh* I literally actually started asking the employees that helped me if they had any ideas, and they all had the same ones I did.
I'm sorry I'm a slacker and don't have a picture up I'm not sure how to run our new camera on the new lappy, but I'll get my husband to post it on here later tonight. So if your interested, It's up for sale for $30 dollars, normally the ones that are that big are $45-$50. So let me know if you interested.

Daily life of a newlywed

2009-05-01T19:02:00.002-06:00

Well of course as a newlywed I wouldn't have much time to blog between working, and being a wife, BUT at the current time I chose to get someone to cover the rest of my shift for the night so I could be home and away from that terrible, terrible place!!
As some of you may know... I may be just a little bit of a slacker and have had a really hard time getting back into the swing of things with work, and of course, without a supervisor I don't acquire and verbal/written/final warnings-- let me explain-- if you call in and miss a day it's 1 point, if your even 1 minute late it's .25 point, and if you go into work and leave early it's .25 points every hour you miss. when you have 4 points your on a verbal, 6 points is a written 8 points is a final and 9 points they term you (bunch of a crazies) since I'm now on my third supervisor I got 9 points (yes I was keeping track and I only 9) they started me off at a verbal 'as if I was at 4 points' so Tuesday rolled around I called in, which would only give me 1 point and not 2, and I was never informed when I was put on the verbal that every occurance after that it's one step up in the 'punishment' so I was put on a written, and I was VERY upset, but whatever. So luckily when I get my shift covered I don't get any 'occurances' or 'points' but man can I tell you all how VERY upset I am right now!! So needless to say I'm buckeling down and searching for a job, *sigh* i hate looking for jobs.
Other than that we are living the married life, and I have my FIRST Mary Kay class tomorrow with my sister in laws! I'm VERY excited! And slightly nervous, anyway wish me luck.

I kinda like....

2009-04-17T14:38:00.002-06:00

Well I've officially become a Mary Kay consultant so friend o mine? Just wait I will so be calling you soon for a FREE FACIAL, yes free it's actually really nice and really cool.
If your interested, most of you have my # or let me know on here.
Ok now that I'm done with that, I'm going to update you all on what's been going on the last 3 weeks. Ethan and I the first week or 2 have been going insane-ok that's just me- with trying to get all of our returns in and get all of what we need, in returns and gift cards, we have bought almost $400 worth of things like pots and pans, cookie sheets, muffin tins, smelly good stuff to cover up the smoking smell, etc... It feels more and more like home everyday, it's such a calming feeling.
I will admit, I am very high maintenance, and am determined to earn as much money for high speed internet and cable. as of right now we get like 5 channels. 2,4,5, and 13. sometimes we don't get channel 2... It's sad. Oh well we make it work, lol. Also I do miss my little Bandit (my aunts dog) I like him jumping around and cuddling up with me when I sit down, it's odd, but true, I just miss havin' a dog around basically.

Work has also been pretty hard, not only am I only making $9/hr. because they keep changing my sup, and I can't get on piece rate to up my hourly rate. But nobody will every give you a straight forward answer. everything keeps chnging all the time. My sup at the moment is still in nesting for crying out loud! So, again I am getting into the job hunt again.... ugh as much as I do hate it, it's something both Ethan and I feel I need to do.

it's been a while

2009-04-14T11:13:00.002-06:00

I'm such a slacker I know it's been almost 3 weeks lol. Our water heater doesn't really work after about 6 minutes our neighbors smoke in their apartment but they are getting better at smoking outside. It's feeling more like home the more crap we buy with our returns money, and gift cards lol. I love my husband more and more everyday he's the best!

24 hour countdown

2009-03-26T09:38:00.003-06:00

It's just about 24 hours now until I get married... You would think that I wouldn't have time to blog but..... Well..... I don't I officially have called into work and am *cough* sick *cough**cough*
lol I still have my last minute things like packing up my room getting my nails done (although I loathe them!) all my last minute laundry, last minute packing for Florida. etc...

Today may just be THE LONGEST DAY EVER!! And it even freaking snowed!! I'm pretty positive that it's almost summer! Not January, gosh! I hope that most of this crap melts in the next few hours, plus Tracey and Emily +kids are coming down I80 and apparently it's really bad, so hopefully they'll drive safe, Cyd and Eric are coming too hopefully it won't be to bad coming the other way (from Vegas) *sigh* anyway I'm just a little stressed out.... Just a little stressed.
peace out I have a lot to do.
p.s. I love Twilight haha

One week countdown!

2009-03-20T15:35:00.002-06:00

So It's officially 7 days until I get married! I've been a big slacker with last minute announcements..... Other than that, it's a lot of packing, a lot of boxes, etc... Stephen's mission president and wife have called almost non-stop for this last week, stephen now has tendinitis, after doctors appt. and calls about insurance etc... Now I just received another phone call from his mission president again, I'm not sure why but now my mother is calling him and hopefully I'll have an update, a lot is going on, it's crazy.
Now I'm just catching up on my Grey's Anatomy. I really should be at work but you really think I can work on a beautiful day like this?!?! It's amazing! Anyway I don't have much to update on due to the fact nothing is going on, except packing. I just thought since it's been almost 2 weeks since my last post.

OMG 19 days....

2009-03-07T23:43:00.002-07:00

I think I'm officially in shock.... I am getting married in 19 days!!!! My whole life will be changing! We just might have an apartment, I will get to go home to someone who loves me and will call stupid people at work vulgar names with me. Someone that will hold me when I am falling asleep. I will be able to go through the temple pretty much whenever I can!! I am happier beyond words, but it's all hitting at once. I'm not "freaking" out, I'm not sure that is the right word, it's more like, EVERYTHING just hit me like a big mac truck!
I love Ethan with all my heart!! He's just so darn adorable, I can't get enough of him :)
I am pretty much the luckiest girl ever, I get to be sealed to him FOREVER!!! It's going to be freaking fantastic!
This is officially my 100th post!! I know I wanted something epic, but it's all wedding related, and I'm sure the internet is bored of my wedding talk by now (even though this is kinda.... Ok really wedding related, but not the planning part)
p.s. I miss you Jess!!! We never talk anymore (except tonight lol) I wish I would be there for you more, I'm trying though :) Love you Jess :)-that's right I wrote that in PINK mwahahaha!

absolutely frightening...

2009-02-27T04:05:00.002-07:00

I'm not quite sure what's been going on with me the last little while, but I won't lie, in many ways I'm becoming more and more different. I react different to everything, as well as dealing with different things as well. I will tell you one of my more recent experiences which is actual the reason of why this post is being written at 4 am. Today was totally just kind of fine and dandy, I had been talking to my Mary Kay lady about becoming a consultant but decided to pass until after I was married, and not so stressed out. Went to work and graduated from the first part of training, we even got chocolate cake, and the good frosting!now we're going into 2 weeks of nesting, then.... I'm done!!! Our trainer let us go home early by like 45 minutes!!! It was fabulous! and she was just going to clock everyone out for midnight. I was dumbfoundedly happy! I got hoome and dorked around before I got down to finishing packing, showering, etc.... ya know the important stuff. got down to bed around 2:15 (which I accidently made a habit, it's terrible!)
Beftore I know it my phone is going off, I woke up thinking that it was Ethan and it was already 5:30am, but I was also thinking something was totally and completely wrong. I picked up my phone and the ID said "incoming call... 0000000000" No lie, i pick it up and it's totally this robotic voice that sounds EXACTLY like the robotic lady voice in Eagle Eye. It went on to say something about a TransWest account to activate it or something so I pushed 1 thinking I would get a rep. And I could give them a good talking to about the early hour phone call, and that there would be hell to pay. But I did not. In the mean time I'm still getting this "somethings wrong" feeling. so I hung up the phone, and immediately my heart rate jumped, and I started almost having a panic attack for no viable reason. I finally had the guts to get up and turn on the lights, and come upstairs. Of course I text Ethan briefly that i was up after only an hour of sleep, and something was scaring me but I didn't know what, I also said for him to call me as soon as he got him, but I don't expect him to that for another hour I'm nowhere near fully awake right now, but I'm still scared out of my wits for no reason. To bad the rest of the world isn't awake at 4am. I would feel better.

Moral of the story: I totally and completely am scared over this messed up phone call for no real reason. I'm 20 years old. Ever since i was sick about 3 weeks ago I don't know how to handle myself in any situation, it's like I'm learing to be me... Again. I don't know how to else to describe it...

31 days and counting!!!!

2009-02-24T01:44:00.002-07:00

So I'm not going to lie I don't have much to say this time around. SuRpRiSe!!!
So I'll just briefly talk about my interesting weekend. First up...?
Friday- So this is what I was SUPPOSE to be doing. Getting the money off that stupid card that charges you a stupid fee to take out the money I earn! Get gas in my car. Shower. etc... What did I actually DO? slept in until noon, that was after Ethan called to get me up, then he was telling me about the smoke he saw that ended up being a 3 alarm fire 5 minutes from my house, it was so crazy! After that I stayed in my pajamas until about 5 pm... Yes in the afternoon. I hurried and got ready, and then ran over to get my nails done so I had them done for my bridals, which brings us to SaTuRdAy!! First up was getting my hair done at exactly 11:30am. For my bridals from there I had to race over in the ghetto of Murray I think, and do my bridals! They were fan-flippin-tastic!!!! I love every single one of those shots, it's so hard to decide!.... The rest of the night Ethan and I spend with Erin, Adam, Mary and Von and went to Pat's BBQ, yes the one on diners, drive-ins, and dives. Sadly enough by the time we had got our seat and ordered they only had the chicken left, so we didn't get to try any of the true BBQ but I personally thought that the chicken was fantastic! We just need to go during they day that's not friday or saturday.
As of Sunday I tried to set up my appt. with my bishop, but the only times were after 3, and with my yuck training schedule that was impossible for me. I was slightly upset with myself that I my procrastination. Gah! Why must I be a slacker?
Sunday I tried to sleep as much as possible and still attend church. I slept during sacrament, I felt like I was in high school again, and then I came home and slept for another hour. Still very tired. I'm pretty sure I'm sick in one way or another. The stress of work, plus working late, plus stress of the wedding that is just about 4 weeks away, plus thinking I need to stay up til 2am, plus trying to be somewhat social, I'm sure I'm dying haha, ok a little over dramatic, but you know that's why you LoVe me :)
So here I am Tuesday early morning, I probably had the worst phone call day today, I had a 1 hour phone call?!?!?! Who does that? I hated today, it was terrible! I guess it's a plus that no one dropped the F bomb on me and hung up on me. But still I probably lost a good 5 phone calls because of the one. wtf?!?!? BAH!!!!! So I thought I would treat myself to a lemon slice and salt. It was delicious. I also need some Tylenol for my pounding headache (to which I've had for roughly 2 1/2 days)
And she's off.........

p.s. Congratulations to dear Shayla who had Abrielle Ranay Bentley today at 2:55pm Feb 23, 2009 she was 7lbs 5 oz. 19.5 inches long! Fabulous I tell you, fabulous!

2009-02-12T01:06:00.002-07:00

Alright I am probably the most irritated person on the planet!!!! I can't even go to sleep i'm so irritated, and I'm usually a pretty patient person fo sho! Yo!
I feel like I work with a bunch of 15 year olds that don't know how to shut up and listen to the people that take time out of their busy schedule and teach us! For crying out loud! Have some effin respect!! For the teacher, and the people around you! When someone says 'shh...!' that doesn't mean shut up for 20 seconds and just pick your conversation back up! I mean honestly! Respect ya dillholes! Oh speaking of respect, next time I see a guy belitteling or being demeaning in any sense of the words to a woman I will personally castraite them!!! When a girl is trying to actually do what she has been told and confides in you for some advice, don't just sit there and tell her she is in charge and then don't do anything! And don't lie to me about it! Don't think because I don't know how to speak spanish doesn't mean I don't know what's going on! Your not really giving her information to right down when she is sitting there telling you to shut up! Don't tell her she needs a spell check when I sure don't see you doing anything, all you did do is sit there and pick on her, there is a fine line between ''flirting'' and just being annoying and when the girl is telling you to leave her alone and shut up (many different times) you have officially crossed into the annoying stage!! So shut up and help her with the stupid project!!!!
*sigh* and another thing! Am I NOT the one getting married here?! Shouldn't it be perfect in my eyes, every aspect of it!? I would think so! So just because you think it would look ridiculous doesn't mean you can just sit there and tell me it can't be done, trust me, it'll be done! And if it really can't be done, THEN we can discuss an alternative! Aaaargh!!!! JUST LET ME DO IT!!!!

look I don't want to sound like a wench, but I'm just really stressed out, irritable, etc... You name it, that's what I am.

sigh week 3

2009-02-07T12:13:00.002-07:00

This week has been just crazy. I've been trying to make up my hours at work and staying until 1 am therefeore not being able to be in bed by about 2 and up in a fairly decent time. (meaning 10) Thursday night I had a cough and kinda had a headache as I went to bed. Friday I needed to be up by about 9 to get going and stuff, and I woke up feeling terrible! every part of my body hurt, and I had to make sure that not to get up to fast so I wouldn't throw up. Well I still needed to get things done, so I got dressed and headed over to Ethan's house so we could pick out food for our luncheon, just to see the list of food online made me want to throw up, we didn't end up going to The Gathering place just because I felt so crummy. Shortly after that I threw up. I then went home to continue to suffer in my sickness. by the end of the day I hadn't slept at all due to my achy body, and coudln't hold down anything, not even coke syrup that is suppose to calm your stomach, by the end of the day I had thrown up 8 times, and finally got to sleep for an hour at 11 or so, woke up at about 1, then again at about 2:30 each time trying to drink some water because I was so dehydrated, but finally got to sleep until about 8:30. I've been up and resting on the couch all day, I absolutely have no energy today. I've just been drinking water, and popsicles, and my parents are on their way home with some gatorade. So I will not be doing anything today *sigh*
training so far is going pretty good, there are a lot more assessments as we go down the line, it's been really nice sitting next to the people that I do they are all so helpful, and willing to teach. It's very helpful!!
Well it's almost 1 in the afternoon, I'm going to go find the energy to brush my teeth :)

p.s. I love my E.P.!!

Week 3

2009-02-02T12:27:00.002-07:00

Well week 3 of ACS training has started. But I will tell more exciting new this post instead of all the negative stuff.
FRIDAY was just grand, me and Ethan went and finished up our registering at Target for my camping bridal shower :) and I got a second job, back at Applebee's, starting after Valentine's Day (if I were to work Valentine's Day, no one would have gotten it off, and I'd work all day)
I would work after that part time probably Thursdays and Fridays. We need a money.
SATURDAY Me and Ethan went and got pictures done in Provo bright and early with my cousin. They should turn out just GREAT! Then me, my aunt, mom, and cousing Megan went to Zupas for lunch, :) that stuff was AMAZING! I loved it! (thanks Meg) we then went dress shopping!! I actually found one that I really liked! Then I found another one that I really liked! Then another one that I really liked. That's right 3 dresses that I contemplated over for a good 15 minutes. *sigh* I did finally make a decision though, and I'm very happy about it! It's a little short so it's getting altered, I should have it in my messy messy room in about 2 weeks :D
SUNDAY was a little different it was a long day, and I had a pressure headache all through work, even after 4 ibuprofen (spell?) oh well. I came home went right to bed, and slept until almost 10:30 lol.
That's life, and we've got 7 weeks from Friday until the wedding! We've got a lot to do! *sigh*

Ugrrahhbah

2009-01-28T00:55:00.002-07:00

I'm frustrated so much!!!
Me and Ethan lost the apartment, because his uncle failed to tell us he would give the apartment to anyone that would give him a better deal i.e. more money ($450 to be exact) and sooner (asap) ugh. I just might hunt down this person and take away his apartment right from underneath his feet and see how he likes it! THE FLIPPIN DOUSCHE BAG!!!!

Week 2

2009-01-26T01:27:00.002-07:00

I've officially started week 2 of my 8 week training. Today was just lame at work. We spent the first 3 hours or so trying to figure out problems and issues with ANOTHER password, I think we're up to 4 or 5 passwords and/or logins for this stupid system. It's insane.
Today was good though, my Ethan came to church with me even though he was wicked tired! It was good to because that would be the only time I saw him today, and maybe even tomorrow, we'll see how his interview goes with UPS tomorrow morning!! It'll be terrible hours! But it'll be money.

Yet again I LOATH being a girl! Luckily so far my birth control pills have been keeping it all on the DL, but man alive do my cramps hurt like whoa for almost like NO reason! bah! This is all after I've had an upset stomach for the last 3 days. It was terrible! I didn't eat hardly anything for 2 of those days, ugh it was so not cool!
It SNOWED!!! bah! As I sat at work in the middle of Salt Lake the flakes got bigger, and it started to come down harder. I groaned, and thought- 'shi, i'm in jeans, with flat ballet black shoes, no socks. my feet are going to be freezing! And my pants are going to be wet' Needless to say the bottom of my pants are wet, and my feet are cold.

Oh one more thing, Saturday my family and I took family pictures, these would be the first ones with my cute, cute E.P!! Oh it made me happy! :D although before when I was ironing my shirt (that I didn't even end up wearing btw) and I was trying to get one of the strings that ties in the back, and burnt my thumb... Well it's now a nice shade of red, and is a good 5 degrees warmer then the rest of me, and is slowly blistering..... *sigh* what will Ethan do with me when we get married. Which reminds me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me and Ethan found an apartment!!!!!!!! His uncle Spencer has a house, split into 3 apartments, and he might charge us only about $300/month!!! it's about 900 s and 900 e, I'm not sure the exact address, but it's about there!! Ah! I'm so happy about it, and me and Ethan need to go check it out this week. I'm really excited! :)

Yawn

2009-01-22T10:21:00.002-07:00

So I really don't have anything really EXCITING to write about at the moment. But I will update you on work, first I want to say I have ONE more day left!! It's a lot of sitting in front of a computer, and listening to people yell into a microphone while I sit right by the stupid speakers (I pretty much end everyday walking to my car in the freezing cold rubbing my head and saying to myself 'damn crazy woman should realize she doesn't need to yell into the microphone')
Although I did find something that entertains me, in our email i've set it so everytime I login it changes colors!!! Yeah I know I'm like a little kid but it's fun.
I've made a few friends, a lot of people are bi-lingual one girl that I got hired with is Azucena, she's from Southern California, she's great! She can put up with my sarcasm and rude remarks lol.

Now for the wedding plans! *sigh* I'm not sure how I do this one. Saturday we are doing family pictures, these will be the first family pictures with my Ethan in them, it makes me so ridiculously giddy! I am also in the morning meeting with the Affordable Wedding Decorations or whatever it's called at 9am Saturday morning, to do my cake, decorations, and my flowers, that will be so nice to get that all done with!
Next Saturday we get to go DRESS SHOPPING!!! I think this will be the best of times! I'll be going with my aunt, cousin Meg, my mom, and Jess (my maid of honor) it'll be so great! I'm excited for it!

Well now I'm off to be with my E.P. before we both go to work.

6 Things I seem to not do anymore now that I'm engaged.

2009-01-15T12:40:00.004-07:00

1. I hardly do my hair anymore, right now it's just pulled up and slightly curly.

2. I don't do my make-up either, half the time I'm with Ethan I look SCAARY! He's insane to still love me.

3. I don't clean out my car... Well I didn't really ever do it anyway, but before I was determined to keep it clean.. And I failed.

4. I hardly seem to blog anymore these days... Ya remember those good ol' days where I would blog like every flippin day?! Yeah I'm lucky I do it once a week anymore haha.

5. Sometimes, when I'm in a hurry to run to work I just grab 2 mis-matching socks that the dryer has eaten their other half- it's sad really, I feel bad for them.

6. It took me like 2 1/2 weeks AFTER Christmas to change my backround... It's sad.

The times.

2009-01-08T15:38:00.003-07:00

So this week has been crazy, and different. I've worked everyday starting Monday, at the end of tomorrow I will have worked 30 hours on my feet, hardly seen my E.P. and done nothing but argue with my family. *sigh* Good news is that me and Ethan are now on a family plan with each other!! We got awesome new phones

Both me and Ethan have this same phone, but his is silver, mine is red. Can I just tell you how much I love it!!! It's so much fun!

This weekend my mom, aunt, and cousin are going to the bridal show! It'll be great! I'm sure of it! I'm hoping it'll help us out with ideas, and everything and hopefully even win something! :)

I'm wicked tired. So I'm going to take a nap before I go to work.... Again.

Fridays

2009-01-02T14:40:00.002-07:00

I've decided working 3, almost 4 crazy, psycho days in a row is NOT good for my mood patterns. It makes me tired and hungry which is not a good combination when it comes to the fact that I spend the rest of my time with Ethan, I beat him up so much :( I'm sorry sweet. Needless to say it's been a bit of a rough week. So I'm sorry baby, let's hang out k? :)

This next weekend my mom, aunt, and I are headed down to a bridal show, this begins the wedding planning. Soon after that me and Ethan will be registering for the wedding!!! Geeez! Who thought I would be registering so I can get a bunch of gifts :)
My mom has been looking at dresses that she can wear and she's been looking at invitations, and places we can go and try on dresses at. Bah! I think it's all just hit me like a big bag of bricks-- That doesn't really feel good, either-- Soon we will get a few different engagement pictures put together once McKenna gets her computer all fixed up and her new picture edit thing that she got for Christmas up and running. My parents still want to take a few other pictures downtown, probably in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, it'll be great! :)

I am still stuck working at Applebee's, not that is a 100% bad thing, but man alive I would like a job that paid me more than minimum wage +tips, and that would provide me with insurance, sheesh! Is that just to much to flippin ask!!! Some of us are freaking getting married and would NOT like to live with one anothers families. *sigh*
And we have tuition to pay for next semester, Ethan starts Jan. 12 (remember that sweety) part time, but some of it is online, so that'll be nice. I now need to get ready for work.. Ugh

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!!

2008-12-26T13:11:00.002-07:00

What an amazing Christmas I had!!!! Spending time with my family and getting more than I thought I would. my great brothers and sister-in-law gave both me and Ethan $50 gift card to Target, we plan on using it for whatever we need and don't get from our wedding, needless to say we'll have it sitting around for a while. My cute aunt got me a wedding book, it's so great! It has places where I can write down special days, honeymoon, first date, how we met, who we met through etc.. One thing I got that just made me oh so VERY happy, was Harry Potter Clue, that's right a Harry Potter version of Clue!!! We played it last night, and I love it!!!
I got to spend a lot of time with my E.P. Can I just say he is such an amazing person!!! I couldn't have thought of anyone else I would rather spend it with (besides cute, cute Reagen haha)
After Ethan came and got me, and opened his presents (a map of South Moab, and a book of 501 natural places to vist from me, then ski gloves from my parents) we headed over to his house, we were just in time too, I got to see pretty much everyone, and received a present myself, that just made my whole day!! His parents do.. Themed gifts, if you will for all the couples in the family. This year was photo albums, everyone had pictures of their families and such, my photo album was the best! It was full of the love of my life!!! Pictures of him through high school and such. There was one that was a baby picture, and boy o boy I'm pretty sure if I would have know Ethan in high school I would have liked him, pretty sure :)
Overall Christmas was just amazing this year :) everything was so different, my brother almost being a missionary, me almost being married, my aunt and uncle who joined us as well, it was still just so great! I'm glad I got to spend it with so many loving people this year, between my own family, and my future family-the Hind's- Oh the Hind's they are a bunch of crazy's, but I love every single one of them.

MoNeY.... Please?!

2008-12-23T15:41:00.002-07:00

Ok if anyone has a decent paying job that gives me insurance, please let me know. We are desperate.... Well ok I'm desperate. *sigh*
I'm more of a clerical person for sure. just let me know thanks all!!!

Saturday.

2008-12-20T19:33:00.002-07:00

Today was a long and sad day. My sweet, sweet fiancee's grandpa had his funeral today.
It was hard to sit there with Ethan and watch him as his aunts and uncles went through stories from the past, of course Ethan thinks 'men don't cry' I saw a couple tears, but not many, I struggled myself being composed, and watching my E.P. be composed.
All together it was a long day, the funeral was very nice, as well as the cemetery site, but cold, of course.
My baby loves me!!! So far he has supported my addiction to Chick-fil-A. We were home from the services an hour before I was saying I wanted Chick-Fil-A, and of course without hesitation, he said yes. He's a sweetheart fo sho, and his still learning how to handle my PMS lol, oh well.
I also got to hold Jess's baby brother, Cameron, yesterday! He is more than super cute!!!!!! He really is just a little guy, he gave me a kissy face! ah!! I love that little boy! side note-Jess get better! Get some freakin sleep I 'heart' you!

2008-12-18T17:25:00.001-07:00

ATLANTA, GEORGIA!
is going to have the pleasure of my little brother as of:
February 18th, 2009!
As much as we are fighting right now I'm so proud of him!
He has exactly 2 months from today!

IT'S HERE!!!!

2008-12-18T15:32:00.001-07:00

My little brothers mission call is here! Finally!!!!! We will be opening it within the next hour before anyone has to go to work tonight (me and dad)

The good news will be on the way soon :)

p.s. My heart goes out to my future Hind family more than usual these days I love you all, and am sorry for your loss

Hmmm....

2008-12-16T11:56:00.002-07:00

so I'm not totally sure what to write about, but I figured it's been a long while.
Today me and my dad are 'bonding' cooking/baking yummy good stuff. Every year my family and I hand out plates of goodies to the lucky select few in our neighborhood. It's so good to much on!
We also need to do some shopping, but it decided to snow today, so the shopping may change.
Jess's mom had her baby Saturday at 2:12 pm (It was so close to 2:34! hehe) he was 18 inches long 6 lbs and 10 oz??I can't remember the oz. pictures are on her blog, he's so so super cute!

I feel like I never see my mommy these days. between my weird crap-tacular hours at work and spending time with my E.P. and her working 2 jobs.... It just does not happen very often, my mom is working VERY hard to get money for my wedding, oh how I love that woman!

Cydnee has officially booked our flight tickets to Orlando, Florida for March 28th. 2 tickets had just opened up so she booked them. which is ok with me! It makes this whole thing that much more real. It's so insane, Ethan's mom is also doing an engagment party on December 29th, I'm frantic about the whole thing, trying to get my parents to get off early or not work that night, and my brothers the same thing as well. *sigh* I think I'm stressing out way to much about the whole thing. But I can't help it.

I'm so happy it's been snowing!! I woke up this morning, and it was snowing pretty good! I just hope it keeps it up so we have at least somewhat fresh snow on Christmas! I hate the slipping and sliding, I seem to always fall at least a few times every year, and it's not a comfortable feeling.
As I've been searching frantically for a job in the classifieds, I keep running into 'dental assistant classes, start soon see our ad on page 180' is there even a real page 180 in the Deseret News?? I sure couldn't find it. I keep seeing it, and I really want to go back to school for it, and finish it all up. I'm not sure what to do because I know Ethan wants to go to school and finish it up asap, so I'm not sure. I'm still thinking about it.

80th post!! That's right I blog like whoa!

2008-12-09T16:36:00.002-07:00

So like my awesome title says this would be #80 lol
Although I'm not doing anything special, but my random updates.

Saturday my day started at 6:45am-after going to bed at 1:30am- and started off to a meeting at 8am... For an hour... Luckily I had time to come home sit on my butt and catch up on some Grey's Anatomy, oh my the mental case Izzy is!!!
I went and got new shoes that I can stand 9 hours in at work, and started my day at work at 10:30am... when did I stop? 8:30 that night.. with an hour break to which I ate dinner/lunch with my mommy. 9 hours is so not suggested at all. blah! I went over to Ethan's house, and couldn't get warm... At all! Then I decided that I didn't feel good and headed home about 10:30pm.
Sunday I woke up at 8 thinking I would be ok to go to church... Umm no I'm pretty sure someone like spiked my water/Mountain Dew because i felt like I had a hang-over from freakin hell!

So of course I continued laying in bed, and it took me almost an hour to decide to move upstairs and lay down all day on the couch. haha.
Today I did a little more Christmas shopping for my mommy, and I found it!!! I'm excited! I'm not done yet though, dad has no idea what he wants, or my brothers... And I have like 14 days to do so.. This could be interesting.

Me and E.P. Have officially got a date!!! March 27, 2009! It's still tentative, Stephen should have his call next Wednesday! if not the one after that, but damn soon thank goodness!!! But we at least know it won't be any later than March 27th, if not sooner :) (I got a big smile on my face when my mom said it might be moved up) haha, so Cyd we should be able to plan those tickets soon! Thanks again!

Venting.........

2008-12-04T14:58:00.003-07:00

I have some seriously ridiculously unnecessary issues.

Ever since my little brother has been dating this girl (who will remain nameless) he's been nothing but a douche bag. Sarcastic-rude-unnecessary-belittling remarks, Last night and today have topped it all off. Last night me and E.P. were 'babysitting' the 2 of them, they were somewhat spooning, if you will, with hands UNDER the blanket, of course I told them I wanted to see all 4 hands, and they showed me and put them back under the blanket.. This did not fly with me. So I told them all 4 hands all the time, of course Stephen put up a fight, and made a big scene of how I'm not the boss of him and I can't tell him what to do, and he can do whatever he wants, blah blah blah... Finally he did what I told him to, because he knows it's the freaking rule!! (We have a genius on our hands here people) Today, I went off to apply for a job, in the mean time Stephen took it upon himself to take my fancy little i pod plug in my sweet sweet fiancee gave me because it didn't work in his Civic, therefore it's mine right? Well Stephen took it upon him to 'test it out' This I didn't appreciate. I called him and yelled at him and told him that it was mine and he had no right to take it, even if he wanted to 'test it out' and he automatically thought that I didn't know how to work it, and to him that is his basis on stealing from me!!! The nerve of him!!!!

Needless to say I'm ridiculously upset about the whole argument that continued after he hung up on me, because he likes to act like a child, and not address his problems face-to-face.

Me and my dad then went to Panda Express for lunch, and in that time we were gone, Stephen had come home from work to bring my plung in back, and left before we got back. Another needless to say moment; he's not aloud to talk to me, or touch my stuff at all, unless I here a heart-filled apology. Will I actually hear it you ask? Know who my brother is, and how he acts, probably not. This could get fantastically interesting. Oh and I'm SOOO done babysitting him and his low life g/f who has nothing better to do than put all her hormones onto my brother, and him returning the favor.

Thanksgiving

2008-12-01T12:30:00.002-07:00

oops! I forgot to tell everyone about Thanksgiving holiday!
Thursday rolled around and we (me and E.P.) attended the Hind family Thanksgiving dinner, and it was fantastic! We had the Murphy fam, the Anderson fam, and the other Hind fam, (Emily and Tracy) this was the first time I was able to actually meet and talk to Tracy and Emily, it was good all around. Crazy loud and all, but it was a blast, Later that night I was able to meet Cyd, Eric, and their family. Cutest kids EVER! That little Taylor is just so beautiful! Her dark dark hair like her moms, all curled and what not. lol.It was nice to finally meet Cydnee after communicating via blog.
We then were up and off shopping Friday morning at 7am! It was insane! I haven't ever done Black Friday shopping, it was fun, I got to spend a good chunck of the day with my future sister-in-laws, and my future mother-in-law. I really thought it was good fun, I had a blast! We went to Kohl's-- needless to say, they're psycho's! they had a line wrapped around the whole entire store!!! We ended up NOT buy anything from there. We then headed over to wal-mart? I think haha. After grabbing some breakfast at McDonald's (only so Mary would stop whinning lol jk Mary) we went to town they had some good stuff, we looked at pj's for kids, Christmas tree's, luggage, etc... We also stopped at Sam's Club, Mary, luckily, had a 'membership' so we could go shopping. It was awesome I love going into Costco and Sam's Club it's a lot of fun shopping there! We all found a little something I do believe, it's a lot of fun! There is my somewhat lame update :) I had bunches of fun!
And no Mary you all haven't scared me away haha.

Update #1

2008-12-01T11:58:00.002-07:00

This is one of many pictures that me and Ethan took Saturday morning in the freeeeeezzzing cold!! When this picture was taken we just didn't care about having out jackets on anymore. My best friend McKenna took them for us, her family has seen them all, and have said they look great! I'm excited to see them!! The picture above is one example that she took, it's great!

Last night after black friday sleeping, taking pictures in the butt-freakin-cold saturday morning, and going to bed before 11 that night, I got to catch up on some sleep. It was excellent!! Ethan then continued going to church with me and my family, everyone was so excited to meet him. After church, and after dinner we sat down and made a list of what needed to be done, and spent a good 2 hours planning our honeymoon, that's right it's almost next to all the way planned! I'm excited about it. We've finally decided going to Florida/Disneyworld/beach would be such a better deal then going to New York, although I've never been to New York, but we just saw Florida as the better option. I'm excited!

The list, I've decided is insane! I have a lot to do, and most of it we can't do until we have a date and time set. So my hands are tied. Both me and E.P. are beyond frustrated that we don't have a date. But we're trying to do everything else that we can. That's my update :)

More pics

2008-11-21T19:51:00.002-07:00

These are the beautiful flowers he gave me right before he proposed!

This is me and Ethan, we couldn't get a good picture of him w/o him blinking lol

This is such an awesome picture of my ring! My wonderful future mother-in-law took it with her sweet camera, Ethan also helped us to figure out the 'micro-focus' it's amazing isn't it?!

Well there are the pictures I promised! I'm now going to go suffer the night with my cursed period.

Here it is!!

2008-11-21T18:33:00.003-07:00

Finally I have a picture! I will probably come back when Ethan gets here with the video camera and put it on here and/or facebook.

EEEEeeEEKKK!!!!

2008-11-19T12:00:00.002-07:00

My Side of the story:
It all started Saturday afternoon when my mom, Stephen, and I drove up to Park City for our week at our time share. Of course I had to have Ethan there, so he came up on Sunday evening/late afternoon-ish I was super duper happy! He stayed around until Tuesday morning. I had to work at 11, Ethan had driven me to my dad's work here in Park City so I could get my own car. He wanted to go find some wall someone built to keep someone out lol idk, so he drove off in 1 direction and I the other to go home. After working 45 minutes longer than I thought (the loser thought he wasn't scheduled) so I raced home and grabbed some extra stuff, and came back up here to Park City after my shift, at this point I was starving! I hadn't had anything all day! Just some Dew, and water. So we had spaghetti for dinner, I then decided that I wanted to take a bath in the big 6 man tub! Which takes a good like 25 minutes to fill up, mind you haha. My mom and I wanted to munchies too, so my dad was off to Albertson's to get something, shortly after that Stephen just left, I didn't think much of it, I figured he was going to work out or something like that. I needed lotion so I called my dad and was telling him what to get me, Ethan at this point to beeping in on the other line, I was excited to hear from him (because I'm such a sucker) one of the first things out of his mouth were 'go outside' I questioned him, and finally left. He told me to go out the main door, and he kept denying that he was here. The whole time I was thinking 'hmm... Maybe he got work off a couple more days, and can stay-yay!' He was then off to the side on a bench, so I walked over, and he handed me some beautiful flowers! (pictures soon to be posted) and he then got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him!! It took me a second to say yes because I couldn't really breathe, but I squeked it out. Yes I cried, but I also started hyperventilating haha, so the crying part took a minute to come.
Ethan's side of the story:
After dropping me off to get my car, and driving off, he thought to himself 'hmm this would be perfect time to go talk to her dad' he turned around and saw they weren't open yet, so he wandered around Wal-mart for about half hour, and went back... His excuse was to bring the parking pass back to my dad so I would have it for my car. My dad then told him he had one in the car already for me. Ethan then said that wasn't the real reason he was there, he talked to my dad (I'm not sure how long this talk was) and Ethan was then off to be home and go to work. I was already to work by 11, and was texting him when I could. Ethan ran home from work and changed his shirt, and got the ring. He had been talking to Cyd the whole way, and trying to text me so I wouldn't be wondering what was up. He hadn't got nervous the whole way up here, he says. Until he called my little brother (he had gotten Stephen's number last night when Steve was off changning, and his phone was sitting on his bed, so Ethan picked up his phone and called himself so he had his number) so he would film the whole thing. Ethan saw me coming, and started freaking out, it all happened in a blur for both of us.
Ethan ended up staying the night again, sleeping in his jeans (because this town shuts down at 10pm!! Even the freaking Wal-mart..... Even on the weekends!! It's lame! But he stayed, and I love him so much! He's so freaking amazing! I will have pictures, and probably the video-although you can't hear much, except for me hyperventilating- up here tomorrow, or Friday.
I'm excited to be part of the Hind family they are awesome, regardless of all the many times they think they scared me, I thought it was all quite funny :)

i totally understand now Nichole

2008-11-15T05:13:00.000-07:00

here I freaking lay, in my freaking bed trying to get some sleep. what time is it you ask? about 5 am!!! how long have i been trying to get back to sleep, after only sleeping 2 hours? oh since about 3:30 this morning. nothing is helping. i got up and walked around, i got a drink of water, i peed, i even took some of my moms sleepy pills, actually just 1. but when was that? at about 4:30. so im blogging on my phone so i don't have to really go anywhere. bah! this is THE most ridiculous thing ever, im pretty sure about it. but may I quickly say that the new James Bond movie is so wonderful!!! i thoroughly enjoyed it throughout the whole thing! OMG! can i say Daniel Craig is far to attractive for his own good??! ah! my mom has to work at 6 this morning so now I may just go upstairs and visit with her. peace out you lucky people that can sleep.

2 Weeks

2008-11-14T15:45:00.002-07:00

So it's been 2 weeks since I've posted anything on here! wtf, right?

I'll start with my new job, I have been hired on as a hostess at Applebee's in West Jordan (jordan landing) I did my training Mon-Wed they were simple shift just 3-4 hours long, not bad at all. Then my manager/cousin came up to me on Wednesday and said I was scheduled to open on Friday. I thought that was just fine, I'm more open to take more shifts like that, because... Well I've decided to to snowboarding with Ethan, and with my next pay check I am going to purchase a coat for snowboarding! and I get paid in a week and a half! I'm kinda super excited for it! But I opened this morning, and the first 2 servers there are suppose to be seated in the sections twice before anyone else, because they only make 2 bucks and they are there for an hour before anyone gets there so it makes up for that. Well, I didn't know that, and it wasn't until I had been seating people I was told by Vickie, bless her heart, I had no idea, and she was so helpful. I tried to get the rotation back into full swing, but Melanie was getting very upset with me, needless to say, I don't think she likes me very well. Oops!

Ethan and I are doing fantastic! Tonight is our date night! Movie and a dinner, yes I know it's so routine, but #1 I get half off my meal and his at Applebee's, and then we get to see a movie, Quantom of Solace, the new Bond movie, I'm way excited for this one! Not only is Daniel Craig amazingly good looking, but James Bond movies are excellent anyways :)

Tomorrow my family and I get to be in Park City for a full week, my parents have a time share. I don't think we'll all be up there together anymore than 2 days, Travis and Debi will be coming home Sunday afternoon, for work. Ethan will then take their place and we will both drive back either Monday evening, or Tuesday early morning, because I found out I have to work Tuesday morning/afternoon. I'm slightly upset and will try to get it off or switch it with someone else, so hopefully people with cooperate with me :) I'm excited for Park City, it's nice and cool up there with some sweet hot tubs! Huzzah!

The joys of dating Ethan Stuart Hind

2008-10-29T14:06:00.003-06:00

So Monday I had the oppurtunity of being Ethan's dirty whore, as he was being a pimp.
I was a little nervous, of course, but all went well, it was kinda fun, Jess did my make-up it was a ton of fun! She was a little.... Too good at it, lol. The week so far is a lot of fun! Yesterday Ethan and I carved another pumpkin, after carving our awesome pumpkin we went to wal-mart to get some cheap-o candles and I saw the Sonic sign said 'Banana Splits 99 cents' and I said oooo baby lets get some!' so we sat in his Land Cruiser and had banana splits, and talked about the first time we met, and our first date. I really had a lot of fun, he's such a good kid, he makes me laugh, all the time! And I freakin love him for it!

I heard my mom laugh really hard yesterday, it was the first time in a long time. She was teasing me about the part in my hair, so we got in a big 'fluffing' fight, and fluffed each others hair for a few minutes, it was a lot of fun. She's great.

I also got to visit my sweety yesterday at work, while out and about, I had the urge to see Ethan. So I called him and said 'hey i wanna come see you.' so I got up there and was able to see him, it was the best! I don't know why, but seeing him in the middle of the day (let alone seeing him anyway) just makes me feel so good, and makes my day that much better, like I have said in the past, he's my other half. My everything, and I love him a lot. And oddly enough he returns the favor, he's the best!

.... Period......

2008-10-25T14:52:00.002-06:00

I HATE being a girl, and having my period! I am here today to vent, and rant about how freaking tired and gross I have felt the last 2 days, and of course if this happens every month from now on, and the period thing keeps being a freakin douche bag, I'm going to throw something across the freakin room!
Last night I at least kept myself composed, and I almost fell apart when I got home, this morning....? Not much better, cramps, feeling sick, taking Midol/Tylenol etc... Now I feel like passing out with the pain killers I've been taking, bah!!

On a lighter note, Twilight tickets went on sale yesterday!!! Of course I'm dragging Ethan along with me :) Out seats are reserved at The District, for 11:59! I'm so beyond excited!!! :) aaahh!!! :)
I'm off to take a nap now!

Bad days...No I don't want to talk about it.

2008-10-23T15:52:00.003-06:00

Facebook says I'm having a terrible day, that my friends, is a complete understatement!
I have not had such a day. I have never been so emotional, never cried so much, for so long. The only thing I wanted to do today was lay, crying in my bed, all day. Heaven only knows how I got out of bed, showered, and am blogging. It could be besides the fact that it took me about 1 o' clock to finally get out of bed, and a half hour crying shower.
Everytime I woke up through the night, I would cry, sometimes wake up crying already. I'm sitting here trying not to cry at any emotional part of Grey's Anatomy..... I never cry with that show... Never, but here I am. Struggeling to keep myself in check.

p.s. No I really don't want to talk about it.

What are ya, queer??

2008-10-20T13:26:00.002-06:00

Moab... Oh Moab. First I want to say I got to see a deer being skinned, ALIVE!! haha just kidding he was dead, it was pretty cool. Friday we started out with cute Ava waking us up at about 6:30 in the morning, that day we hiked up to Delicate Arch, it was awesome! It helped me discover I'm more of a wimp than I thought, there was some slick up hill, it was crazy! 3 miles round trip. It was awesome! We then wanted to see 'Double O' it, also was awesome! Ethan was the only one to climb on top of the very top of it, as I recorded Ava playing in the dirt, and we headed back to camp, p.s. I totally had to pee the whole way down... 4 miles round trip. Either way, it was fun, we were tired though by the end of the night.
Saturday, we just slightly down played it a little bit, Ethan and I headed into town, and found me some flip flops, I tried to convince him to get some to, but they were 'too girly' haha, wimp. It was a blast, a little later was when some of the other guys came back from hunting, so for another little while they hung them up covered, and quartered them. Afterwords Ethan and I followed Nichole's dad up the mountain a little while (to which we slightly fish-tailed and scratched up the Infinity, sigh, Ethan feels bad) we finally reached some 4-wheelers and drove around a little bit, and it was a blast!! Until it got cold! Ethan then treated me to dinner in town, at the Moab Diner, it was very delicious, if your in Moab I suggest it! Man alive I should be paid for that excellent solicitation ha. Sunday we woke up to Christian telling Ethan he needed to fix the flat tire on the car, Ethan was really nervous, but it wasn't bad, they had it changed to the donut easily, we drove into town and got it fixed. Utah county was ridiculous!! bah! We were trying to drive and be home in decent time because my cute little brother was being set apart as an Elder, his appointment was at 5 o' clock, what time did I get home? roughly 4:58 ish... Needless to say I ran into my house, threw on a skirt and sprayed some serious body spray and wetted down my hair and raced over to the stake center. I was just glad that I was there!
After being very soar, and slightly sunburnt, I was glad I had the weekend, I had. I spent the whole time with great people, especially my E.P. He's so amazing, he was there everytime I stopped more often then everyone else, he held my hand, and kissed me, even though my hair was gross, and I didn't have any make-up on at all, he was always there, it was fantastic! It's the happiest I've been, the greatest weekend.... Ever!!! I love you E.P. Your the best!
Ya douche :) hahaha

9 hints for carving your pumpkins!

2008-10-15T16:54:00.001-06:00

Hint 1: Choosing a pumpkin with smooth skin, rather than deep ridges, will make applying a pattern so much easier! More bumps equal more hassle.

Hint 2: Even if it’s the “ugly” side, choose the flattest side of your pumpkin to apply the pattern and carve. When the day turns to night, viewers will only see the glow, not the gory, and it will make your pumpkin carving process a snap!

Hint 3: To light candles (and esp. to relight them on blustery Autumn nights!), forget the top lid and carve an opening into the bottom of the pumpkin instead. When it’s ready to glow, light your candle, pick up your pumpkin and gently place it over the candle. Viola! No burnt fingers!

Hint 4 : Having trouble putting on the pattern? Before you tape it down, make several tears, about three inches apart, all around the outside edge of the pattern. When you tape it down, this will make the pattern form to your pumpkin’s rounded shape.

Hint 5 :When you apply the pattern, poke the holes about ¼” apart, and even closer together on more intricate patterns. The holes only need to just pierce the pumpkin skin – about 1/8” deep.

Hint 6 : Never use a knife to carve your pumpkin. Even when carving with a saw, keep your non-carving hand away from the blade. Remember, a safe Halloween is a Happy Halloween!

Hint 7 :Hold your saw like a pencil and insert it at a 90-degree angle to the pumpkin’s surface to carve a simple pattern. To create different effects (like a portrait’s shadow), you can angle the blade.

Hint 8 : When you begin carving, carve the tiniest sections first. Next, carve the areas in the center of the pattern, and then carve out the other sections working towards the outer edge. Never rest your hand on a carved out area or your design might break!

Hint 9 :If you’re having trouble viewing your poked out pattern, rub a little flour, cornstarch or baby powder into the dots. The dots will turn bright white and your design will practically pop off the pumpkin!

mooshy, gooshy!

2008-10-12T23:18:00.003-06:00

So here's an update on well....Me and Ethan, we were over at his brother, Christian-and his wife Nichole, house and Nichole mentioned that I hadn't written anything mooshy about me and Ethan haha, so I thought I would update the like 6 people that actually read this. I'll first start off with the double date we went on with one of my friends, that I haven't seen in the longest time! We started off seeing 'Wall E' at the dollar theatre-which was SO good! semi tree huggerish, but so cute!! ah!-Ethan was hungry afterwards (for his benefit he hadn't eaten since breakfast, and it was like 10:30pm at this point) so we ran over to Village Inn and grabbed something to eat, we talked, and got along and such, it all turned out really really well, I was so happy to see Holly, and that everyone and everything was great!
Saturday, my parents me, and Ethan went up to Brigham City to meet my aunt, Grandma and my cute cousin, Lexi, for lunch it was half way from where they live, and where we live so Brigham City just worked, that worked out really well, me and Ethan bascially spent the whole day with one another, which was just really nice, I absolutely love being with him! *sigh* :)
Sunday (today) Ethan joined me for the singles ward, he finally met Jess, and Alaina, Jess says she approves :) hahaha, not sure about Alaina haha, I should probably talk to her lol. It was all good, again we spent most of the day :) after having dinner with the fam (due to the fact that his family is out of town, and he only makes easy mak-gross!!) we went to Christian, and Nichole's, and I made a new friend, Ava, she is SO adorable! After they had put Ava to bed, we watched Christian and Nichole's, wedding video, bah! I'm such a freakin sap! Especially after me and Ethan have become as close as we are.
Ethan is such a sweetheart! As much as he hates admitting it, he's a big cheeseball, haha but that's one of the many, many reasons that I love him! Ethan and I have become quite the cheesy couple, when we started dating, Jess called it the 'honeymoon stage' hahaha, hate to break it to ya Jess, but we're still there. :) I really do love him, he's my other half, he would do anything to make me happy, even his chainsaw impression lol, you'd have to ask him about that one. hehe. :)
So Nichole, there is your mooshy gooshy blog. haha. next one will be about Moab weekend hahaha :)

Spectacular!!!

2008-10-09T19:35:00.002-06:00

So the title pretty much says it all! But I'll go into more details... Kinda haha.
Me and Jess spent half the day in Provo... Yes happy-valley, it was funny! We tried on pretty...... Clothes haha, and fun hats, it was pretty much grand! Of course walking around the mall, and taking shoes on and off has now cause a blister on the side of my foot, which is the weirdest place you could EVER have a on your foot, but whatev's. Of course I haven't hardly done anything. No go on the 1-800-contacts job, haven't heard anything from Verizon, oh and then one of the guys from my former Specialized job told me about a job fair downtown on Tuesday! So I'm looking forward to that, I really hope it'll help! *sigh*
hehe I kinda hope that Jess puts up pictures of our day today, they are fantastic! hehe, I'm much happier then I was yesterday, yesterday was a little different, I wasn't very happy at all, but I feel so much better between hanging out with Jess, and being with Ethan last night.
Me and Ethan watched MothMan Profecies.... Um well... I think I would have been ok with it if it wasn't based on true events of West Virginia! freak A! CrEePy! But then I came home and watched 2 episodes of Grey's Anatomy haha. Needless to say I went to bed wicked late, and did NOT have any nightmares :)

Boogers

2008-10-04T20:35:00.002-06:00

So I haven't been on here for like ever it seems like! Tuesday was my last post, sigh, I'm slacking! First of all, may I just say Eagle Eye is a freakin amazing movie!! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, Ethan and I even went at the 9:50 showing last night, and it was crazy packed!
I'm currently still on the hunt for a job, with decent pay, and benefits, so if anyone has any good ideas, tell me please? Monday I'm planning on applying for Verizon in Customer Service, or there is 1-800-contacts, then I figured out my cousin, Casey, is the manager at Appleby's here in Jordan Landing, so maybe that'll be good I might end up with 2 jobs, just so I can save my money, and still have ajust a little for like gas, and such, so we'll see, and hopefully all will work out for the best. Hehe oh here is my funny conversation, this is more of an 'arguement' between me and Ethan's best friend, Scotty-who is the reason we met in the first place-
Me: Scotty, would you stop taking my boyfriend?
Scotty: Hey now! He was my friend first! I so have dibs!
me: Lol, um yeah about that.. I think I have a few things in my favor, I would so get him!
Scotty: How dare you. If you weren't for me the two of you wouldn't have even met. You so owe me.
Me: Owe you by giving him back? Get a pulse!
Scotty: Hey now that's not what I said! Just learn to share!
Me: No way. He's all mine. I'll allow visits but don't expect many.
at this point Scotty text Ethan and tells him he needs to get rid of me, of course Ethan tells me this, and I text Scotty saying: Scott Sanders Cluff!!!!!!
To this, there was no response haha, so I think I won :)

10 things I could never become in life.

2008-09-30T16:22:00.002-06:00

1. Scientist, experimentist, etc.... Why? Because I would probably end up blowing things up my first semester in a chemistry class, I would probably be kicked out before I quit.
2. A lawer, I'd get way to heated questioning the witness, and in that 'heat of the moment' someone decided to object against what I'm saying, I would do 1 of 2 things. Turn around and give them the 'Look of Death' and continue with ripping their juggular out, or I would argue with them until it was crammed in their little heads that objecting WAS the wrong thing to do. Either way I would end up in jail, or being held in contempt for 24 hours.
3. Bill/Credit Card collector. I did this once, Discover Card, and all I learned was don't get a credit card from them! They are terrible people that WILL rip you off with no mercy! And I hated being blamed for the foolishness of that company! Plus most people who held the card, and missed a payment (usually the reason for calling them) don't know what the hell they are talking about! If it wasn't against the rules to say 'lady shut up, and just pay your damn bill! You obviously didn't pay it, or we would NOT being calling, so save both me and you some time, and arguing and pay the bill!' I would still be there.
4. A dancer. I can do my ballroom and stuff, but man just.... Dancing in public, whether it be alone, or in a big group, it'll never happen! I'm not sure I can explain this, but I just can't and never will, unless it's for some talent show that is a big joke anyway.
5. A professional writer. Jess could probably fully agree with me on this one, my grammer is terrible! Punctionation is all over the place, and in the wrong places nonetheless. I also have terrible vocabulary, but that one I actually take the time, and effort to fix, oh! and as a fellow author of Stephenie Meyer, I would probably go hunt her down with a wooden stake or something to the affect.
6.Ice Skater. My friend Jeff, can attest to this. I am NOT the most graceful person in the world, put medal blades on the bottom of my feet, I'm screwed! and I will cling to you like I pack around super glue and use it! Also my dad can tell you the same thing.
7. Singer. Need I say more? Why do you think I sing in my car alone! With the windows rolled up! I'd rather waste that much more gas running the A/C then roll down the windows on a b-e-autiful day!
8. Human Resources manager. Watching Stephanie, here at Specialized, is the only reason why this partiular job is on here. I sit here and watch her interview stupid people, or 'let go' even stupider (yeah I said stupider) people. There have been a bunch of people who will get hired on, and work for a day, then never come back. Lame O's! I would eventually hunt them down, and yell at them for taking up my time even interviewing them, and tell them they were nothing but little magets!
9. Professional runner. After this weekend, I would be surprised if I could ever run, again! At least like I could a few weeks ago... Stupid, cursed knee problems!
10. Bagger/checker... Did this one too. It was the most ridiculous job EVER!!!! And I worked at one of the good grocery stores (Macey's of the Provo land) but you have to be on your feet for 6-8 hours a day! Be happy the whole time, and occassionaly when feel like it they make you be there at 6am! When your schedule CLEARLY says you are NOT available at that time!!

Days Go By.....

2008-09-30T12:35:00.004-06:00

Today is my last day at work, and boy does it just feel like any other normal day. Stephanie did bring me flowers though, as a thank you, roses with babies breath, they are actually really pretty!! Other than that, to be honest, not a lot of people know that it's my last day, I guess I'm not to worried about it with those who I'm not good friends with, just goin' is all I'm doin' today. I did actually do my hair today! semi-curled and everything! hah!
Yesterday I went over to Ashley's and she let me borrow some books written by Marcia Lynn McClure! So this morning as I ran out the door I grabbed The Whispered Kiss, I haven't gotten to far into it, I seem to not have the attention span for a book today, oh well I'll get to it soon. In the mean time we got to catch up for a little bit, it was good, it sucks none of us get together anymore, but also understandable with jobs, and school, siblings, significant others, etc...
This weekend is general conference, I'm not sure why, but it seems like a flippin decade since it's been on... Yeah pretty sure it's been about that long. hehe. Which also means time for some serious praying and fasting for questions to ask. Oh and some serious note taking as well. I failed on the whole fast sunday thing the other day as I was in Cedar City and half way through the day McKenna says 'Amy it was fast sunday today.' I groaned and said 'crap it was! I'll fast some other time' now I'm rememebering why it was fast sunday, bah! and I'm giving blood on Saturday in between sessions, my iron is low enough I don't need to be fasting the day before, or of. So in many weird different ways I'm really looking forward to General Conference more than usual, I hope to have good questions, as well as answers to those questions, bah! I hate not know!
I had a good conversation with my friend Kevin yesterday... An hour and a half later, we had caught up on what was going on, and what not. He gave me some advice, and what some people could be thinking in certain situations. It helped! I'm still sorta confused, but not as confused... If that makes any sense at all! I'm in the process of trying to hook him up with my good friend Ashley! I think they would get along really well! it's figuring it out initially that's the trick. :) it totally makes me happy just to think about it! I just have to figure out their schedules, and like swap them their numbers and junk, it's hard to kinda be 'matchmaker' if you can use that word?
I just might make a list or something later on, it's only 1:15-ish, and today is going by slowly on purpose! Stupid today! argh, peace out :)

I will bare 3 girls all with strawberry curls..

2008-09-29T10:26:00.003-06:00

Thursday September 25th, I finally got on the road to Cedar City at about 5:30pm, it seemed like a really long drive, but that could have been because it felt like It was 10 instead of 8. I finally got there, and I was so happy to see McKenna. She took me around her dorm rooms, and what not. We kinda just dorked around at wal-mart, oh wow! That was so funny. It was pretty much the only thing we had to do that night, of course as we were walking around we passed the underwear, and I said 'Kenna we should get thongs.' haha she laughed and continued to tell me her cousins did that, and they have their very own 'thong day' so we agreed we would call each other for our 'thong day' hahaha oooh it was so much fun! I 'heart' wal-mart somedays. Friday Kenna had some classes, I sat through her nutrition class and doodled for like 2 pages worth haha, after that she took a test and turned some stuff in, I helped her with her photo class haha, well kinda. Oh! and she got a free coupon for 5 buck pizza, so we were excited for that. It was also Friday Pride Day, or something like that, So I walked around campus looking like a student in my SUU shirt, well it was Kenna's but she let me borrow it. We stopped by the bookstore, and I got me some awesome SUU stuff, a lanyard for my keys, and some SUU sweat pants, that are pure fleece, ah, heaven on earth I tell you! We were suppose to go to the 'girl's night' that her relief society was putting together, but we decided we wanted one of our own, so we got our pizza, and misc. Junk food. It didn't work out so well, because the internet was being gay. Her cousins then randomly showed up, they are a bunch of freakin crazys! Jacob, Jared, Jason, and Jaymon, all showed up and dorked around, if there was anything in the dorms they could break, they would have done, I'm positive about it lol. We then invited them to the 'D.I. dance' SUU was holding on campus, they then left for their grandpa's house to 'get all pretty' haha, we then went to the dance, it was a freakin blast! It really was a lot of fun, yet again if their was anything they could break, they would have, actually I'm surprised they didn't break legs, or arms or anything like that lol. Needless to say when they were dancing, I kept my distance for sure! After the dance we went and got something to eat at Wendy's then went back to Kenna's room and watch some Grey's Anatomy, again. It was about 2am and I absolutely fell asleep! It was the season premiere and I freakin fell asleep!!! I woke up every now and then, and we all finally got to bed at about 4, bah! I'm not sure how I did it, but I did.... 12:30 pm Saturday September 27th me and Kenna finally wake up. Stephanie, who was at the dance with us, had been up since about 9am and had left to her apartment and what not. I felt like we were out partying all night long, me and McKenna were so tired. We all got ready and drove down to St. George to meet up with the boys, and 'hiked' around Dixie Mountain, Ethan would be so proud that I voluntarily did that haha. It was a lot of fun! After we ended up at McKenna's cousins house, Charity and her cute family! We went for some swimming which was also fun, and this is about the time that me and McKenna decided that Stephanie was oblivious to the fact that Jacob totally wanted her! And we needed to tell her, so we did, and she thought we were being ridiculous, but we could tell she knew it too, haha. After swimming the 3 girls got all showered off and such, we went to Albertson's, as we were walking the 3 of us were talking (oh the boys were there too, promise-it was dark outside-) about missions. Stephanie is bound and determined that she is going on a mission, she looks forward to it, I don't blame her, McKenna asked if I had been thinking about it, I told her kinda, but it's hard to think about a mission when your dating someone. But then I continued to say that I was asked by my bishop if I had been thinking about it, at all. He told me to seriously start considering. At the time I blew it off as I was still 19. Now it's like 2 months later, and I'm 20 and I realized I can turn my papers in about 8 months! It's so crazy insane! and by the time my brother gets out, and my papers were turned in and got my call we would be home within months of each other. So obviously I've given it some thought, but I'm still not sure. McKenna says she is going to be married by that time, and at the rate she's going I wouldn't doubt it haha. After getting back from Albertson's we watched Step Up2 another movie I partially slept through.... I was tired. Sunday morning we were up at about 8 after going to bed about 1:30 or 2, we then drove back to Cedar City and I had packed my bags by about 11:30, and after having a freak out session that I had lost my phone, and then found it in the most obvious place, my bag, I left haha. It seemed like a shorter drive going home, but oh well. Overall it was a flippin blast! I was glad to be home and sleep in my own bed, and of course see Ethan, I missed him all weekend! I'm ridiculous ha.
I also got a call from my cousin, and good friend Stacy, and she told me she is pregnant!!! ah! She is about 10 weeks along, it's so weird on many levels, I told Ethan about it, and he said 'wow it seems like just yesterday that Cameron took her out.' lol Cameron had taken Stacy out her sophomore year to a WJ dance, and now his brother married her sister, it's pretty funny. But then I was thinking, 'man alive, it was almost yesterday that me and Stacy randomly had lockers next to eachy other (without planning it, we weren't good friends until all of this) our Junior year.' If it wasn't for that we wouldn't have known any of this! Fate, I tell you... Fate! She is now a good friend of mine! It's so weird, but I totally screamed when she told me haha. She is due the end of April :)
I'm also almost done here at Specialized, sad but true. I'll be glad that I won't have to drive clear out here every day, and wake up at 6:30 every morning. But I still love this job oh so very much! I love the people I work with! All my customer service guys are freakin hilarious! I 'heart' them all! lol , yeah that's right 'heart' you all.....!
Apparently, my uncle is now eating with us, last night he ate dinner with us, which was just awkward, due to the circumstances. I hadn't been home all weekend, and I feel everything happened. My mom had me setting the table and handed me 7 plates. I was so confused, and then she said slightly under her breath... 'your uncle is eating with us' I didn't even know what to say. So I said 'oh..' and continued with the setting of the table. Now let's do the math here, for those of you who know who are living in the house. My parents (2) me and Stephen (2) and my aunt (1) that's 5, then my uncle for dinner that's 6, so why the 7th plate...? Well my dear 'adopted' brother Max, He's basically been thrown out of the house, we won't go into details. But is staying with us for a couple of days, and if he can't find something more permanent (his idea is to rent out a house with friends) which I'm not thrilled about, because he doesn't have that kind of money, and his spirituality would go right downt he poop shoot. So as his protective 'older sister' I'm very worried about him, hopefully everything will work out though. I 'heart' you maximus! So yeah one weekend, and life is all sorts of crazy different!
I've also found that I'm very... not 'open booked' around most people, as opposed to when I was in high school I wasn't as skeptical about it. I think now the only people I really tell things to is, the internet, Ethan, and McKenna... Mostly Kenna cause she actually knows who I'm talking about ha. Ethan and McKenna are my besties, of course Kenna knew that one already, but Ethan has become the person I'd rather be with when life gets all flipped around and junk. He's a good comforter, he just sits there and holds me and kisses me on my forehead everytime I scream or gasp at Grey's Anatomy. *Happiness*

That is my frustrated typing. So I go home, and just kinda chill for a few minutes, and then decide I have a check I need to put in the bank, as well as some sunglasses I need to purchase (yeah, Jess, I just decided to buy new ones lol I need some for my drive today and Sunday lol, they are super cute though!) but by this time my shoes still hadn't come :( I wasn't very happy about it at all. So I decided to just continue monitering and tracking it with the 'tracking number' they gave me. And nothing had changed.... Until I decided to check it at abou 3:50pm, and it said it had been DELIVERED!!!!! At like 3:30. Man freaking alive!! I was at my house like 45 minutes prior to the stupid delivery. So Now I have to wait another half hour to get off of work, and fly through traffic (another 20-25 minutes- I'm totally planning on cheating the system and leaving at like 4:50) So after I finally get my fabulous shoes-I'll probably have to put pictures up here, they are that great!- I'm on my way to wonderful Cedar City to spend the weekend with my bestie McKenna Seegrist! I know some of this is already ridiculously on repeat, but ya know what, I really don't care! It's the one exciting thing that is coming up, and the first time in a long time I've been able to just get far away and spend some time with Kenna. The last couple of weekends she has been up here, she has not been able to really hang out with friends and such, I saw her at church like once, and we sat through relief society writing notes, but after that I didn't see her at all :( it was a sad day, so we're both oober excited for this weekend!! It'll be fantastic :) we aren't gong to sleep at all hahaha EEEK!

.. So come and higher loosen my lips, faith and desire at the swing of your hips... Drown me in love.

2008-09-25T12:51:00.003-06:00

May I highly suggest just random songs/albums to everyone?? Ok you talked me into it, I will.

1. This one I'm currently listening to, so it's goin' up first: Matt Nathanson, Come On Get Higher.
I think McKenna introduced me to this song first, and now I can't get enough of it!
2. This one is an interesting song lol but it's fun to listen to: Ludo, Love Me Dead. I know the title is slightly bizarre, but I promise It's so great!
3. Fountains of Wayne, Stacy's Mom- k the weirdest song/music vid EVER! lol but it's so hilarious!
4. Albums: Rent-both Broadway and Movie soundtraks are fantastic! Duffy, Rockferry- ah! my fav song is #2 Warwick Avenue, it's so great! Her voice is different in such a good way! Ingrid Michaelson, Girls and Boys-Also very unique in her voice, but also her lyrics, she puts it together very well! A.F.I. Decemberunderground, this is SO my angry music! I don't listen to it a whole lot anymore, but It's totally perfect when I'm angry. Linkin Park, Hybrid Theory/Meteora, also some of my angry music, this one I listen to more often than a.f.i. It's not as 'screamy' ha.
5. The Ting Tings, Shut Up and Let Me Go. I absolutely LOVE this song! It's has such a fun beat, and the lyrics rock!!
6. Paramore, Misery Business/ Crush, Crush, Crush. Both songs... Fabulous! I favor Miser Business a little more though. That's what I listened to fall/spring semesters last year, especially when I was angry, it just made me feel good idky
7. Norah Jones, Don't Know Why.. First of all I absolutely love her voice! Therefore I love the song, it's just a good one.
8. Mandy Moore, The Best Of. Pretty much this whole CD is wonderful! But I favor the classic, Candy, hahaha it's great! So old school but great!oh! and I love Only Hope! First because it is a great song! and of course I love the movie (Walk to Remember) a TOTAL and COMPLETE chick flick that I absolutely love!
9.Of course, I have to put the Jackson 5, yeah, yeah I know they were 'before my time' but that doesn't mean I can't like them. I Want You Back, and the ever so popular ABC, both fantastic, and very fun!
10. Black Eyed Peas, Pump It, My Humps. Both just fun songs. Pump It is so me and Kenna's song! haha it's so funny lol.
11. The Offspring, Feelings bahahaha this song just brings back great memories with McKenna and our Macey's trips!
12. Kelly Clarkson Breakaway album, some of these songs me and McKenna would just sit in my 'Cavalif' and blast this CD and sing our guts out, normally when we were upset, and going to class would just throw us over the edge, so this was our greatest alternative! hahaha, oh good memories! lol

I think that's it for now, on my music tastes! I'm now just going to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait until 5 o clock rolls around, then I can finally leave for Cedar City. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for the 3 hour drive. Which means I'm trying to drink some caffeine, and pee a lot before I leave work lol needless to say I've already pee'd like twice! it's only 1:30 haha. I totally love McKenna! We are just both wicked excited for this weekend! Ethan watched me pack last night, and kept telling me all I needed was my deoderant... *sigh* silly boy. I then continued to pack like a weeks worth of stuff, my little bag ways a ton! hahaha, I'm still not done, I'm anxiously awaiting my shoes that are suppose to be arriving at my house today!!! Which reminds me I need to like go home or something and see if they left them (lunch break! Woot!) I'm hoping if it works out like it usually does (which is when I use to work for Discover Card, I left work about 1:40 and I always saw my UPS truck turning into my neighborhood, then turn onto my street..) so the time would be...... 1:37, it takes me about 10-15 minutes to get home, so I'm totally off to see what happens!! Wish me luck :)

We're going to take a walk down memory lane, k?

2008-09-24T10:41:00.002-06:00

Ok so I've decided to take oh about 13 memories that have lead me to where I am today, and that mean the most to me. Some of it may be sappy, but... You'll get over k? :) Oh and these are in no particular order.

1. I would have to say when I moved to Provo, the whole experience of living down there and making all of those friends was the best! I'm not sure what I would have done if I didn't live with 5 other girls for almost a year, these girls are: Amy (B.A.) JeLyn (JeLyny)Stephanie (stephy) Sarah(Sarah with a big smile) Brittney(Britty) Debi(Debi- she was a music major, we hardly ever saw her) that is 6 I know but that was between 2 semesters, and they were fantastic! With our dance parties, dancing in the rain, sleep overs with JeLyn in the front room for a week :) yeah awesome!
2. This one is a little more sentimental, and slightly unnecessary, if these were in order this would go my least fav. But it would have to be dating Mitchell while in Provo, things, obviously didn't turn out so swell, but he was my first love all during high school, and shortly there after we had a rough year or 2, but I learned a lot from the experience, I really grew up, and have changed a ton! I don't think I would be as 'mature' as I am now (although I'm not to mature most of the time hehe) and it was all for the better, I've moved onto cute Ethen (EP-as his siblings for some odd reason call him haha)
3. Which brings me to 3, meeting Ethan, I have to tell you I met him on a double date, while Scotty was my date haha. Me and Ethan have both swapped our thoughts on that first meeting. His thoughts: Why is Scotty dating a 16-year-old, but a good looking one at that...So these were my thoughts after I got into the Land Cruiser-Ethan was driving- wow! umm... Crap now I'm going to have to A. try not to flirt with Scotty's best friend/ and other date group member, B. And actually try to focus on the fact that Scotty is my date, not Ethan-Flippin A!!! So obviously we had some sort of affect on each other way back in December. Months later, Ethan showed up in MY institute class (yes it was mine lol) of course Scotty started showing up shorty after the first week or so. Apparently both Ethan and I were trying to get him there at the same time, haha. We all became friends (Ethan, Scotty, Sandy [my sister-in-laws sister] and me) shortly after the semester ended there was a CES fireside, and I ran into Ethan again. Somehow we had swapped #'s and he had invited me and Ashley to 'Disney movie night' we went, had a blast, and it was a continued traiditon throughout the summer, Ethan eventually left for Wyoming (argh! Cursed Wyoming) he was there a whole month, we texted and talked almost the whole time :D he came home we went on a few dates, in 2 days, it was awesome :) it made me happy! So technically as of date #3 he had kissed me, and I'll admit it was the last thing I was expecting. All I was really hoping for was an explanation of what was going to happen after he went back to Wyoming. But then he worked up the guts, and kissed me. :) So if that all counts as one memory.. umm. well there ya go :)
4. Meeting McKenna and Cindy. There for a while the 3 of us were inseperable! I love those 2 girls. McKenna and I really got to be great friends her sophomore year, my senior year, we were little rebels and got into a bunch of trouble. But oh how we partially don't regret it lol after that we've been best friends ever sine. Cindy Lu! Oh how I love u! When Cindy first moved into our ward she was very quiet and very shy. The second she hit high school she was complete opposite, and still is actually haha, we became great friends over the time, and there you have the 3 of us total besties! Cindy is now at BYU and I have visited her on occasions, and Kenna is down at SUU and I'm headed down there on Thursday, I'm so stoked! I love them both so much!
5. Ah, this one is more recent... This happened Sunday @ church, when they had my brother sustained to hold the Melchezidek Priesthood. I knew it was coming, but my oh my, when they called his name and he stood up next to me, I couldn't stop myself from crying, and thinking my little brother isn't so little anymore I can hardly believe it. He'll be set apart as an elder hopefully in the next few weeks, and have his papers in by November-ish *cross fingers* I'm not sure how I'm going to go on without him around to be my comedic relief :)
6. Which brings me to when I got my patriartichal blessing. Stephen and I got ours on the same day. So it was twice the experience. I still to do this day have no idea what his says, and he doesn't know mine, but the experience all-in-all was the best. It was shortly after i had moved to Provo, I'm talking like 2 weeks. And right before I left, he yelled down the hall "Wisssyy, waait!" and Stephen being his tall 6'4" self picked me up and gave me a BIG! hug and said "i love you sister!" I told him I loved him as well, that'll he'll always be my bubba head. and I was trying to say this while trying to breath, as he squeezed me so tight, I couldn't. I turned around and cried almost the whole way back to Provo. I think that was the only time I wished I hadn't moved to Provo.
7. This one is meeting Jess. haha Jess and I have become quite close in the small amount of time we've known each other, we met each other through Alaina, me and Alaina were going on our weekly trips to the temple, and she had invited Jess, I went with Jess one other time, just me and her, before she went into the hospital for 4 weeks, Laine and I went and visited her once, and after talking back and forth on facebook, and her getting out, I took her a Jamba, her fav. And we talked for a long while. It's escalated into nothing but great random fun! that's always where I have learned my "bah!" and "Gah!" hahahaha. Me and Jess together are just hilarious, due to our random fires, that we later figured out were illegal (Thanks STanley! :p) our ice cream, swings, Ensign Peak, oh and figuring out that gummy worms pulsate in fires hahahaha oh that was great! Oh and our talks of periods everyonce in a while, they are awesome! Our love for the funny, and our music/musicals just brings us closer it's fantastic! Luv you Jess!
8. This one was much more recent as well. Like Saturday. This was the Saturdays of all Saturday's! Ethan had invited me to go watch the U game at his sister, Mary's, house. At this point I have not Mary yet, but had like 2 random conversations with her on Facebook haha. So needless to say I was a little worried, OH and also Ethan said that as far as him being in a relationship, Mary was the one that would be involved to the max! That didn't help. After watching the game and getting along with all of them anyway (and being smitten with Coleman haha) Mary and Nichole started grilling Ethan on what he was or was not doing. It was pretty entertaining actually I can't lie about it haha, but it was good to know his siblings so far approve of me, and am actually excited to get to know all of them more.
9. K so this one is retarded, but it sticks out to me for some reason. The other day my sweety boyfriend, decided we should buy tickets to a BYU game (he had promised to take me to a game anyways, but still, it's so sweet!) so after looking at some of the games that were just a couple weeks away (tickets were sold out! bah!) we found some for San Diego November 8th. In my crazy logic this is all I could think about (Mary, Nichole, and Jess don't make fun of me for my cheesy logic kk? haha) ah!! yay! That totally guarantee's like a month and a half that the sticks around, woot! Yes that's really what I was thinking, ridiculous I know, but man alive that totally made my day! :)
10. This one is cool. I also have my older brother Travis, and seeing as how I've mentioned Stephen like 18 million times I thought I would throw one for Travis' sake on here. He has been happily married to Debi Canning for over 3 years. I remember the day he got married August 5th 2005. Debi was 1 year out of high school, and my brother had been home just over a year on this day. They started dating in... December? I think haha. And he had proposed in April after we all got back from Disney World, my parents were on a cruise, and wanted him to wait, but he couldn't he would go to my parents room, pull out the ring and stare at it for 5 minutes every half hour, he was ridiculous haha.. The wedding was fantastic! The reception awesome as well!
11. This reminded me of another memory with my older brother. This was when he came home from his mission. I had been at girls camp, and we knew perfectly well when he was coming home, I was half upset that I was leaving 3 days into the 5 I was up there, and half excited to see my brother after 2 long years! When he came home I had just finished my sophomore year. So he got home about a month before I turned 16. As we waited for him to come down the escalators, we half expected him to be in a cowboy hat (he went to Fort Worth, Texas mission) because that would just be something he would do lol. But then we saw him, he was as big as a house! He ganed a few... Ok like 50 lbs on his mission (and he was pretty big to begin with) it was really good to see him, we had cool posters and everything, it was awesome!
12. Oh another one! Was when I had done the Music Man for my stake! It was fantastic! I made a bunch of 12-year-old friends haha (they only like me, for they found the boy i was currently dating was highly attractive) haha. yes I was also dating my opposite Michael, he was a blast! but just the over-all experience was so much fun! I met a lot of people, made friends, and even randomly keep in touch with them as well, although my life was hectic at the moment it was a blast! and when I say hectic I mean hectic this is how 3 out of my 7 days went. Starting Thursday I would go to school, run home and eat something (sometimes I would have time for this) go to work and get yelled at by bitter customers, race over to the church and do rehearsals until about 9, do homework/hang out with Michael until like way to late. Friday was the same exact thing just throw in a violin lesson in there. Saturday (every other at least) I would work from 6am-12p and run over to rehearsals again-these days I would be in my comfy sweats and a t-shirt, for I did not care, sometimes when It was extra cold in the mornings I would have my warm blanket, and of course I ALWAYS had my big box of cheerios. Michael would usually either be doing homework, or be at drill for the Army. So me and NOel would have some bonding time. My car was also a mess, to which I lived out of it. The closer the musical performance got the messier my poor car got (i still haven't fully recovered my car from the disaster either, I still find kix, hahaha) I had my costume, usually Michaels as well, at least one box of cereal, my make-up, water bottles, and shoes, oh and my script! haha yeah I know it was insane trying to tak other people home after practice lol. But I loved it!
13. Last but not least for sure! Working at Specialized, I guess you could say this is my 'good-bye special' this is only a temp job, because I'm filling in for Jana who is on maternity leave, I've been here for about 3 months now, and the second I started I knew I would love it, the people are awesome! and I really do still love, deep down there somewhere, luckily for Facebook, I might even keep in contact with some of the guys in Customer Service/Warranty, they are probably the funniest! haha they make me laugh at something new everyday! Zane, and his tormenting me that I don't do anything (which is so true lol) and Ian with his freakin Ducati that he now has to roll out to the parking lot to start, because of his escipade yesterday lol having to tell Dylan to come get the damn boxes out of the front office to people can move. And basically having the rest of them ask me what the weather looks like so they know if they can ride their bikes home haha.

-Overall memory lane has really only consisted of about the last 5-6 years. It's been a lot of fun! But I am here also to live in the moment, 'seize the day' as the Newsies like to say haha. It's a lot of fun. I'm absolutely infatuated with Ethan, he's so amazing! <3>

Ahahahahahahaha!

"10 Instant Stress Busters"

2008-09-23T10:26:00.002-06:00

Ok first here is my 'splurge' for the day. Working near the airport is now no longer the coolest thing ever, after Friday I have developed a rational fear of airplanes, every time one flies over I want to sit in a corner and try to find my happy place as I rock back and forth.
Next, my parents are very unreal and irrational! I was planning on heading down to Cedar City to see McKenna, plan: leaving Thursday after work and heading directly down there. What my parents said: No. I don't want you driving down there at that time, you'll hit rush hour traffic and you'll be driving in the dark (well duh! freakin genius' i tell ya) Oh yeah I'm 150% positive you'll fall asleep on the big stretch of road crash and die. You would have much less of a chance if you leave at 7 or 8 on Friday morning. Me: Um no, hell no! first of all I'd be much more awake right after work rather than at 7am, you crazies!! I know how my body functions at what time of the day, I think Thursday would be much better, and that much more time to play with my friend. Parents: No your not leaving on Thursday Friday at the butt crack of dawn is so much better! Bah!! so I'm quite upset with my parents right now. So here's my list for the day haha.

1. Laugh. collect a list of funny websites, like cartoonbank.com or someecards.com (personally I've never been to these sites, but it's my next stop after this)
2. Cry. It's a nature's de-stressor ('nough said)
3. cuddle. with your cat... or dog or other nonverbal creature (i'm not sure I understand why it have to be a 'nonverbal creature' but whatev's)
4. Sniff. lavender oil. It's known for it's calming effects. Keep a vial in your bag. (Yeah I'm going to carry a vial in my bag with lavender oil, and look like a moron everytime I pull it out, um no!)
5. Eat complex carbs. They enhance serotonin, your body's natural tranquilizer (Tranquilizer?? wtf? Just use a freakin tranquilizer gun, it's so much easier to have access to that, rather than standing in the store for 2 hours figuring out what has 'complex carbs' or not.
6. Listen. to a favorite song or a track of nature sounds, like rain or waves. (hmm.. no comment on this one, darn *snaps figures*)
7. Look. at a memento of happy memories. Keep a snapshot-or a pebble- from a beach trip in your office. (umm this might help, but it partially would make me sad, because I would so much rather be at the beach then work)
8. Say no. to something you really don't want to do. (like drugs!)
9. Breathe in deeply through your nose, filling your belly with air, and then breathe out through your mouth. (side note: I typed that REALLY fast haha.- and don't get light headed doing this haha)
10. clean out your purse-or your closet, if you're feeling really ambitious. (umm, I don't like to count this one because usually when I clean I'm really really upset!
P.s. I totally pulled this list from my Cosmo, I love that magazine! hahaha.

It'll take more than just a breeze for me to fall over.

2008-09-22T08:28:00.002-06:00

So I might just suffer for this blog, for I'm about to get my wonderful boyfriend in some trouble with his sister, and sister-in-law :) So Saturday Ethan invited me along to watch the U game at his sisters (Mary) house along with her husband, his brother Christian and Nichole (the just mentioned sister-in-law) and others I can't currently name, because I'm a flippin genius!
So watching the game we ate lunch and what not-although I think we talked more than anything, but that's ok I'm a BYU fan anyway :)-- continuing on after the game has ended Mary and Nichole totally start 20 questioning Ethan instead of me, it was awesome! haha, and me being me if he hesitated answering a question I would answer it by shaking my head yes, or no. over all it was a good time (side note: that was my first time meeting Mary, everyone else I had met, so it was kinda nervwracking, but it could have been WAY worse!)
Sunday rolls around, and after I go to a YSA fireside with Ethan, I get the sudden urge to watch Phantom of The Opera, so we run over to Christian, and Nichole's house and borrow the movie from them (yes, I'm ashamed to say, I do not own that movie, it's depressing, right?) After reaching Ethan's house I ask if I had 'passed the test' with his brothers and sisters (the one's I've met at least) he looked at me and told me he thinks I passed the test long before I met them. As always I was so confused by this comment, he went on to tell me that they had been reading my facebook, and this blog, as I'm registering what he had just said, I thought... Dammit! I hope they don't judge because of my terrible 'un-lady like' language haha. So Mary and Nichole don't run him over because he revealed your secret lol I'm sure there are more (i.e. following me everywhere I go,-stalking, same thing- tapped into my cell phone, have access to my text messages, etc...) hahaha oh I'm totally just kidding, actually I think to some extent it would be funny.
I think it's awesome that his siblings take care of him, they are hilarious! I once was talking to Mary on facebook, actually, and Coleman (her youngest) and pushed a bunch of letters on the computer so we talked, and I met him Saturday, he's SOO cute! He totally reminded me of one of my nursery kids. Coleman loved the fact that he could totally just walk right off of the box/footrest/cooshy thing (I'm not sure what to call it haha) and I would catch him, one of my nursery kids, Isaac, use to do that except he would climb on the chair and get on the round table and jump to me, it was one of his favorites, but man, the kid is a fatty! So it gets tiring after a while.
I flippin 'heart' my McKenna! She is doing so much better! I'm so glad I think I was freaking out for her, she was really havin a hard time there for a minute, but of course, mom talked to her and knew exactly what to say and she is doing really good now. I'm still planning on going down there this weekend. Hopefully leaving Thursday after work (i'm going to have to remember to charge my i pod) and come back Sunday. OH!
So yesterday was stake conference. Oh man alive! My younger brother was sustained to have the Melchezidek (i'm not sure I spelled that right?) Priesthood, of course being his older brother, I pretty much lost it once he stood up when they said his name. Next week he'll be set apart as an Elder, and once he gets his insurance issue figured out he'll be ready to rock and roll on his mission papers! Ahh!!! I don't know what I'll do without my little brother, he's always been there. For those of you that don't know (which I think is everyone!) Stephen and I are 11 months apart. Same age for 8 days. So of course he's been around as long as I can remember, just one grade below me, one class in church, etc... He's really a good kid, sometimes he doesn't show it, but he is. I'm so proud of him! ah! My little bro. Going on a mission soon, how I love him to death!

P.s. I do not condone going to bed at 1:40am when you have to be to work at 8 the next morning! blah! I'm dying over here!

a lot butt load of questions-cause I'm bored!

Why does Target not have Ben & Jerry's??

2008-09-19T08:49:00.002-06:00

Here is my funny convo... Actually have 2 this time!
-Here's a short backround story, and I mean short, on this first one. Me and Jess were headed to Target so we were driving through the Harmon's parking lot to get there.

Jess: This is the slowest I've ever gone in my car! Waddle faster lady!!
Me: ahahahahahaha (laughing was all I could really do)
-This is just more of a 'duh Amy' moment
--Backround story: about 2 1/2 weeks ago I ordered Grey's Anatomy season 4 on DVD through Tower.com, as of yesterday I just felt like being one of those annoying customers with no patients at all! So I email them. (slightly paraphased-and in parentheses I'm putting what I was thinking)

Me: So I ordered Grey's Anatomy season 4 on 9/3/08 and I have not seen it yet.(I wonder what they'll say, and if I'll get something free!)
Tower.com: What is your order number and we can help you out.
Me: my order # is 123456* (woops! Shoulda figured they needed this)
Tower.com: Usually shipping is 8-15 days after it is shipped out. (genius' I tell ya)
Me: Yes, I understand it takes that long but do you realized as of today (thursday) it's been 15 days? (Didn't they go to school and learn how to count? Maybe that was just me)
Tower.com: our 8-15 days does not include weekends. We count them just as business days, Monday-Friday

-Ok now at this point I just feel like a moron, because after getting home for the first time at 11:30 that night, there is a package from Tower.com with my name on it. Of course as I saw it I'm thinkin ah shit, they probably think I'm the dumbest person ever, that last email I got this morning, which I did not respond to, and probably never will haha.

11 dreams, I hope to come true before I die.

2008-09-18T13:27:00.003-06:00

1. Get a ticket... Yes a speeding ticket. I drive like a flippin maniac! And I've never been pulled over. I just think it would be kinda interesting to see how I would react to the whole situation. (side note: cops make me nervous!)
2. Go skiing, or snowboarding, just once- I've never been for a few reasons 1. It's so expensive! 2. I'm a chicken to the max 3. I have bad knees anyways so I always justify not going with that, and not wanting to make them worse
3. Ride another famous person's Specialized Bike. Notice I said another I got to ride Mcdreamy's bike earlier this week! EEEKK! :D
4. Become more of an avid runner, and keep up with it.. Currently I've been running a lot more often than I use to. It's slowly fading though, and I really really need to continue running, it's good for me.
5. I want to be able to either go to a foreign country, or see the sights of somewhere other than the west coast of the U.S.A.
6. Get an autograph from Patrick Dempsey-- this might happen seeing is how Glen (a guy @ work) is on his way as we speak to give Mcdreamy his bike, and he said he would try and get me an autograph! :) Glen is my hero!
7. Marry the man of my dreams! (It's corny, I know, shut it and get over it)
8. Finish up school asap... This may go back to the dental assistant thing that I was doing in Provo. I think I would be able to handle it a lot better if I were to take it at SLCC
8b. Pick up a spanish class next semester. At the current moment that is my plan. If I get to keep my current job I'll stick with it, if not I'll find a part time job, and take more classes.
9. Have like 15 kids... Seriously...! Ok not so much I wouldn't survive having any more than like 5 kids! hahaha. So we'll stick with 4-5.
10. Sit down with McKenna (my bff!) and watch all 4 seasons (on DVD) of Grey's Anatomy only stopping for some pee breaks. lol
11. Kiss/make-out with Ethan Hind.... umm oh wait... lol. (I hope his sisters/in-law totally make fun of him for this one haha)

Do you ever...?

2008-09-17T15:21:00.002-06:00

Have one of those days where you just can't be happy? The day that you just want to be home, and you'll find any excuse to be there? Where everything in the past few days has been basically peachy keen? And then, all of a sudden BAM!!! Your like 3-4 hours into your day, and you just have this need, but you don't know how to fulfill it, or what you need to fulfill it. Could it be something worriesome? infuriating?depressing?Maddening even? *sigh* maybe it's just one of those days where you need to have a 'me' day. Man alive I haven't had one of those in a very long time! And unfortunetly I have to continue that streak, not that I don't love my family or absolutely adore being with Ethan... But man flippin alive!!! Can't a girl... Just have some 'me' time dammit!!? Bah!! Work is only slightly stressfu (and I don't have much of a tolerance for stress, it's not my fault) that probably could factor into it as well.
sometimes you know, ya just have to fake it, I was once told 'fake 'til you make it' and boy oh boy! Have I been trying my hardest to to follow that as closely as humanly possible.
Do you ever wish that you could have the perfect patients, especially for people you loved, but also people you don't know? Life would be pretty much amazing don't you think? You would have the most patients for the most annoying people you'd ever encounter!! Then they wouldn't be offendedd by your rudeness, then they wouldn't go and spread bad rumors about you and eventually have those rumors come back around then you fight and then your angry and depress, and hurting from the fight (but only just a little cause your a total hard ass) and it's just a big circle of meaningless hell!
And ya know this morning wasn't actually that bad either, and I'm usually not a morning person either. but I actually got up, ate breakfast, got dressed, and most of all.... I curled my hair!!! How often does that happen.??! Not very! so, of course, naturally I thought it was going to be an awesome day, good hair day, my make-up was good, I was on time to work. You would think all of that would add up to a good day? but no! All I want to do is wine/complain about everything and anything, cry/wimper for no apparent reason, cling to my baby blanket to which I still have and sleep with every night (that's right!! I said it!) and watch Grey's Anatomy in my on little hole in my basement, and get all weepy from the smallest amount of emotion. ah, that would be nice.

p.s. Sadly enough, I'm currently being tormented by childish boys @ work, and it's only 4 'o clock, which means between now and driving home in traffic, I won't be home for another hour and a half.... *sigh*

Adding onto my list below.

2008-09-16T10:48:00.002-06:00

I should not! I repeat should not! Drink so much Dr. Pepper in the morning, honestly it makes me need to be like every hour after I've finished the 32 oz. I stole from my mother today.
--I'm totally starting a new list, because I'm 'list friendly' today haha.
11 Things that I'm painfully in love with!

1. I absolutely love salt! Oh how I really really love it, I put it on anything that I can! and I'm teased for it constantly.
2. I've found that I have this developing fetish with Avocado's/guacomole, especially Cafe Rio guacomole, it's the most delicious chip dip/salad topping I've ever had in my life! Sadly enough, I used to tease my mom about liking them.
3. I'm a junk food junky, to the max! Although I'm a lot better than I used to be, but really sometimes I just can't stop myself! (I write this as I'm eating a free donut from the donut guy that just walked into work haha)
4.Fire, I swear one day fires will be the source of my lung cancer (beside the 4 tiwaneese (haha) smoking outside)
5. Healthy food, sometime, I love the following: raw broccoli with ranch, spaghetti squash, any squash really, carrots, salad sometimes, apples, oranges, banana's, crazy healthy drinks that say something on them along the lines of 'helps builds your immune system' that cost me an arm and a leg for even a small bottle lol
6. Shopping for crap I don't need! Like jewlery. Now think back to everytime you have ever seen me, do I where it all that often? no! But I continue to spend so much of my hard earned money on the damn stuff.
7. Twilight. I have this crazy obsession/liking to this book. It makes me oh so very happy :) I just can't stop!
8. I've recently acquired music including Ingrid Michaelson, and Duffy. This is what I've been recently listening to for like a friggin week straight!! It's great stuff, I highly recommend them both.
9. My cell phone... Sadly enough I am your typical girl in this area. It's like my life line. It's how I keep in contact with a bunch of people! I'll admit though I do have my off days where I wish I could hide my phone and avoid everything, and anything.
10. I just love it when 5 (i got the count wrong in #4) Taiwaneese guys walk in from their smoking break (after only been here for 2 hours) and bring in the smell with them! mmM... Delicious..... NOT!!! I immediatly opened the door before I started choking due to the lack of the guys' conscience of their health and mine! What a bunch of Deucsh bags!
11. Grey's Anatomy! ahh!! I love this show! I'm just currently waiting for my season 4 DVD's to show up at my door step! eeek!
