The Journey Home From The land of Sun and Palm Trees.

I have to tell you, I was so sad when we had to leave Las Vegas! They have sun! And Palm Trees! It was hard leaving, its not everyday I get to be a trophy wife and lay by the pool all day. Now I have to go back to being a trophy receptionist instead, and that's hard work.

 

On the drive home we stopped in St George to go to the temple. It was so pretty. Also, I think I'm meant to live in St George. It's hot and sunny and pretty. Chris and I were talking about moving there. I love the desert and I think I could fit right in. When we got back on the road we came to stop in Arizona for a full hour. A semi was blocking the road because he ran out of fuel, and had to wait for a helicopter to bring him fuel. It was nuts. So that put us off schedule for a bit. Did you know there is a petting zoo at the one of the rest stops in southern Utah? I did, and when I saw the sign for it I started yelling for Chris to pull over. The sad part was, it was closed until spring! ( I thought it was spring?) When we got to the hotel in Utah, I was pretty upset at how cold it was! I had to actually put on pants and shoes. It was slightly traumatizing. We also stopped at the Payson Utah temple because it was pretty. 




Chris was not excited about the 1 hr delay


Here is your chance to make fun of me. I have this buffalo I take with me to everything. All my infertility treatments and tests, he has been there for me to squeeze. And every long distance car ride he comes with me to squeeze. He is my comfort for my pain and anxiety. I also may or may not sleep with him. I will never tell. 




 The next day we made our journey home! The puppies were so excited to see us! Thank goodness my parents fed us dinner because we had no food in the house. I ended the night with cuddles from all three of the animals. They missed us so much. Now its back to life, and back to wearing pants.

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...
