Alys in Real Life

At work, I have the fun job of getting people's birthday treats. When it is someone's birthday I ask them in advanced what they want, I get it ordered and I get to leave the office with my boss's credit card, all while still on the clock. I love it! We had a birthday this week at he office and I got to take part in this super delicious pie. It was heavenly! Also at the office I have made it my duty to see if anyone needs any afternoon caffeine and leave my receptionist post and go get our afternoon pick me up.  I take my job seriously, caffeine is an important matter. I really have a tough job.  \ For dinner that evening I was feeling super healthy since I had a pie for lunch. So I made some grilled chicken and strawberry spinach pie. I ended the night with some gym time with Jenni. My arm muscles are growing, cant't you tell? I love to flex and watch my muscles, I am kinda obsessed. Now, if only I could gain some muscle in my butt and less fat in my gut, I...

Saturday was my favorite monthly match! Steel challenge! It was a colder cloudy day. Most of our team mates were there and it was so fun hanging out with my gun gals. We got to shoot with our favorite range officer, and some husbands were there. Chris could not make it because he was so busy with work. I placed 33 out of 56 total, 4th out of 12 for lady, and 2nd for adult rim fire iron, (.22 caliber) It was a satisfying match, and I love being out shooting with my favorite people.   after the match I started my reno on my phonograph. I did some sanding, and I am so excited to see the end result! In the evening all I wanted to do was go out for ice cream with my Christopher. This week has been an emotionally hard week for the both of us. Chris clocked in about 60 hours this past week and got home most nights between 11pm and 1am. I never saw him this week. His job is tough working with federal kids and I feel bad for how tired he is. It was hard for me because I was a...

The struggle has been real since getting back from Vegas. I luckily,  didn't have to go back to work until Wednesday! Monday, I just cleaned the house and did some home work. The spring semester started this week, so now its time to go back to forgetting I am a student and have assignments and homework to do. Monday night we looked at a few houses for sale. Now, unfortuntley we have to put moving on hold because of Chris' job. I was so sad and so upset becuase I am in need of change, and I am dying for another bathroom and a bigger kitchen. But, that is life. Tuesday I had an election training because the Idaho Primary is coming up! I wish I went to the gym instead, since I hadn't been to my circuit training class in over a week! But I do get paid for this election stuff, so I guess I don't mind. I then spent the rest of my afternoon in the Mountains. I have a Women of Caliber Photo shoot coming up next week, so I had to venture out to find the perfect location! I had...
