Friends

Tuesday was a match. It was the very last match for the 13 week winter indoor league. I sucked it up bad. I did absolutely terrible. I got last place, and I don't remember the last time I finished last. I am not sure what happened. I think I may have killed some brain cells earlier that day trying to fit a whole weeks worth of homework into a short few hour block. I had an enjoyable time though with my friends and team mates. We got new sponsors on our jerseys. Look how many people support us!


Wednesday evening I met some ladies at the range just to target shoot and have fun. I shot pretty dang well. I had great grouping and these are where all my bullets hit. I was pretty impressed. I don't know why I couldn't have done that for the match. But, like someone told me, I just had an off day. I did have a lot of fun shooting with new friends. I love meeting new friends through the shooting community.


My very first best friend growing up in Rhode Island was Melissa. We went to church together. We were so close and did so many things together. We were silly little girls who did weird odd things, but we had such a good friendship. I always looked up to her and her family. Her husband is working on becoming a Podiatrist and is currently doing some stuff at the University of Utah. Since it is only 3 hours away from me, and I love going to Utah to shop and eat, we decided to meet up in Salt Lake at the mall and spend the day together. She has the cutest 13 month old baby. I could love him to pieces. Melissa kept calling me "AUNTy Alyssa" notice the emphasis on AUNT...its not ANT like people out west call. I loved and missed hearing the word AUNT and not ant. It is such a neat experience to grow up with your best friend, and then seeing them be a mother. She is such a good mother and so loving. As children you never think about being adults and what its going to be like. Her sweet boy looks exactly like her and it was like see my old best friend when we were kids again. We had such an enjoyable time chatting, eating, shopping, and reminiscing. I cant wait to do it again.
Isn't Utah a beautiful place?

For my impressive meal of the week I made Thai chicken Tacos. They sounded good and looked good but I am not sure I am a big fan of the peanut butter in them. But Chris did like them. They looked so pretty though.
I have a scratch ticket problem. here is the proof. I love going into the gas station to get my fix of Diet Mountain Dew and getting a lotto ticket. Its a thrill for me. (Like shooting isn't?) Weird. But as I was cleaning out my car I found all of these. Obviously these are just the non-winners. There are plenty more where that came from that were winners. Please send me to gambling addicts anonymous. Or don't, that's ok too. 


This was my latest Bunco prize. So cute and so funny, right? Do you get it? Dance parties are totally acceptable in my kitchen now.

Easter and Not Having Friends at Church

I had the privilege of teaching the Easter lesson this Sunday. I taught on the Savoir's last week on earth. I hid Easter eggs all over the room with scpritures on Christ inside them. The girls loved the Easter egg hunt because their parents say they are too old for egg hunts.  Sunday's are hard sometimes. I caught my self crying during sacrament today. well, because I have no friends. About a year ago our Ward was dissolved. I had a lot of friends at church, some who have become my best friends. My good friend Jenni who lives a block away and was really my only friend in the ward, moved across town yesterday. Another family I am friends with is moving as well. Church is the hardest place to make friends. I feel like because I don't have kids, and I'm not a newly wed, I don't fit in with any of the groups. The people my age have a million kids, and the couples without kids are kids themselves and just got married like last week, and no one has really wanted to be my

2016

I have sat and thought a lot about what I am going to say in this post. So much has happened this year, its been rough but it also has been a blessing. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right? I learned a lot this year. First of all the biggest thing I learned that I definitely paid for was listening to bad feelings. I learned what true friendship was, and saw the ones who cared and saw the ones who didn't. I learned about priorities and what really is important in life. I learned of death and that death is not the end. I learned patience. Maybe I didn't learn patience but I tolerated patience. I learned and always knew that no matter what happens in life that you and your spouse are all that matters. Lets start off with January. Chris was working at the juvenile detention center 45 minuets away from our house. This was a wonderful job opportunity that we both felt so good about. It started to become rough. He was gone all the time and we never saw each other. He

Treat Yo Self!

I love to pamper myself, on a budget of course. But what girl doesn't? I promise I am in no way high maintenance, hence the fact all my clothes come from Wal Mart, I'm obsessed with guns and I love the outdoors. But there is a side of me who loooooves to get her nails did and spend too much money on all the pretty makeup. My friends own a beauty school here in my town and I get all my beauty services done there, 1, its a really good price and 2, the students need to learn and I am not picky! Plus some of my friends work there and its fun to see them! I also think it might be a problem when the receptionist knows its you on the phone... Since school is destroying my life I haven't been to the salon in forever!! Also, my bestie JP moved away and we would go get our nails done every two weeks. Last week I decided I NEEDED a microderm. Basically, a microderm is someone with a sandpaper machine going over your face with it to get rid of dead skin cells which can result in glowin
