The Week After My Trip

I have been running non stop since I got home from Rhode Island. dishes were neglected, lauundry wasn't done. And I had little sleep. Saturday morning I thought it was a brilliant idea to wake up early after getting home at 1am to go shoot in a match. I was tired and exhausted and I probably should have stayed home. It was a big deal for me to shoot in the match because it was a year ago I shot in my first match and finally got over my fear. A year ago I pulled up to the match crying wondering what I was thinking. A year later, I now do this several times a month and have improved my skills tremendously. A year ago I got dead last, this year I finished 30th out of 37. It really wasn't one of my best matches because I had only gotten off a air plane hours before from an emotional week. But I wasn't last!





Sunday evening was dinner at my parents house and I got to hug, hold, squeeze, and kiss this:



After a very long Monday and going back to work, the next day was Election Day! It was a fun filled day of working a long 14 hours with some great people. Boy I was so tired though, because it was my normal day off and my life had gotten pretty busy. 

Wednesday the Tamale lady found me at work! This is so not good. I can not resist a tamale. I quickly bought half a dozen and was so excited that someone else made dinner for my family that night. After work was our monthly Women of Caliber Ladies League. It is always a fun time where it is just the ladies having fun. I placed 4th out of 29. I was so excited and very proud!



Thursday was the best day of my week! I finally had the day off! I was lucky enough to baby sit my friend Amy's baby. She was a doll and was so sweet. I loved our day together. The dogs were pretty jealous that there was someone their size needing my attention, so the dogs stuck right by my side fighting for my attention. After the sweet angel left, I took the most amazing nap in the world. I was so emotionally and physically exhausted from my last few weeks that it felt so nice to not worry about things I needed to do and just sleep. In the evening I went to Zumba! I had not been to Zumba in over a month and had not worked out in more than 2 weeks. I can feel it in my gut and I am not too happy about the extra pounds I have found. I almost died at Zumba but it was amazing to get my sweat on again! 


Friday I decided to cut my hair off! I needed it. I have been trying to grow my hair out, and it just got to the point where it wasn't growing any more. It was so dead that I figured I needed to start over and go short. I was so nervous to loose my hair I have been trying so hard to grow, but it came out sooo cute! I love it! It is so fun and full of life now. I was also very sick of my ombre that I colored it back dark again as well. 



I also went on a hot date with my hott husband to a BBQ joint Friday.

Because I had been eating this for the week: 


Saturday morning was another fantastic day of Zumba! I am glad to be back in the work out groove! For lunch, Mama Jo is in town from Rhode Island so we went to our favorite skanky Mexican place for carnitas. 




Sunday we had Sunday dinner with our friends the Price's. Chris was teaching Tyler how to BBQ chicken, and I walked over after dinner was ready. Dinner was delish and the food looked so pretty. It was a good dinner spending it with a good family.

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...
