Gambling and Guns

First off, remember my eye problems? I was having troubles driving at night and my friends were scared to death. The Doc did a different exam, and gave me a new prescription. I ordered new specks, and they came in the mail Friday. I love them. once I put them on I could see PERFECTLY! Its like a whole new world I never knew was there, And my glasses are extra big and extra nerdy. Love it. Chris keeps calling me an owl. But that's how I roll. Like in my last post, I am going for the nerdy genealogist look.

Friday night was our monthly Bunco night! It was a pajama theme. The best idea ever. Thank you to Amy for letting us go out, in our jammies, and eat as much as we can and not feel bad about it because jeans were not restricting our guts. After bunco we took the after party to Kohls to spend our winnings. At this point we were still in our pajamas, and it was only slightly embarrassing, we should have went to Wal-Mart instead, it would have looked normal.

Saturday morning was my first outdoor USPSA match of the season. The day was beautiful and the weather was perfect. I had so much fun and I did pretty well. In the first stage, I got almost all alpahas. The husbands shot with us, and they call themselves "Men of Caliber" we took a picture of them and it was quite comical. Most of the men we shoot with are pretty jealous of our jerseys and always say they want to make a team. I have yet to see that happen. But our men should have shirts that say "Husbands of Caliber" or something fun like that. I got 40th out of 45 total, and 4th out of 7 for the Ladies. The best part was I got to spend time with Chris and some of my other favorite people.

And, I always end my blog posts with my pets. Here's what I have for the week.

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 ...

Valentines Day

Valentines day is a very special day for us. Nine years ago we went on our first date. Nine years ago I was doing some not so good things with my life. I drank a lot, did drugs, and smoked cigarettes. Not the ideal thing for a Mormon girl to be doing. I did not have much support and just hung out with people who did the same things as me. I knew I wanted to changed and be better but I didn't know how. I prayed one night the Lord would send me someone who would help me with my drinking and smoking because I couldn't do it alone. One day in January I went to church, at the singles ward, pretty hung over from the night before. But hey, at least I was at church! I remember seeing this boy from a distance and something struck me. You know love at first sight? Thats kind of what happened, except it wasn't exactly love; there was just something about him that I needed in my life. He saw me sitting alone in Sunday school and he asked to sit next to me. I looked around the empty...

Christmas

My friends think they know me or something.... Amy made a shirt that says "Trophy Receptionist" in GOLD, and Ginger gave me socks that said " You're Not The Boss of Me" It's like they think I act like a princess, but I don't ;). I was pretty excited for my socks and shirt My lady lumps make it hard to read my shirt! Since it was the week before Christmas we really didn't have a lot of patients. Amy and I made one of our famous music videos, I am going to try to post it right here but don't know if it will work. I went to Sam's Club with my sister one day and hung out with my super cute nephews. I want to squeeze and kiss them all the time! They are the most kissable boys ever! Well, So is Chris! The little one is just chillin like a gangsta. With my Christmas bonus I bought myself an Alex and Ani bracelet. These are super popular in Rhode Island and they have a store in Salt Lake City too. They were start...
