Alys in Real Life

This week was adventurous. First of all, Jenni came to town for Thanksgiving break! For lunch Jenni, Lisa and I planned to meet at Kneaders. Jenni and I got there and waited around for Lisa who forgot! Lisa has an overnight job so she was sleeping. Jenni and I ended up grabbing our lunches to go and went to Lisa's house. Our date was cut off because Jenni had to be somewhere. We didn't feel we had enough time to chat and reconnect so we made plans to go out that evening. Jenni was staying at her in-laws an hour away so we decided to meet halfway in the booming city of Rexburg. We were there for HOURS just talking! We talked of our friendship and how friends come and go, but we have the type of friendship where we can go without seeing each other for a while and we will always be there for each other.  We snuck to the bathroom to make a little music video and said our sad goodbyes. We stayed out super late (for a week night) We didn't get home till about 1am. But it was such...

This week Christopher and I celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary. 9 years is a long time but it really flew by. This coming February we have been with each other for TEN YEARS! Now that is a long time! Words cannot even express how much I love Chris. I am terrible with words, (if you read my blog you obviously know that I can't write) I have loved these past 9 years. I remember when we were dating and how new, exciting and fun it was. I remember our first date and how weird it was because he was actually a gentleman and I had never been treated like that before. He would buy me flowers all the time, and open my door. He still does  that. About once a month he buys me flowers, just because. He is so kind, so sweet and hilarious. He frustrates me with all the teasing and tormenting, but I would be sad if I didn't have it. He takes the best care of me! I'm an expensive lady and all my needs are met. He pushes me to become better. He encouraged me to go to school. He belie...

Wow, I really have been slacking on my blogging lately! School has taken over my life completely, this semester has been the hardest I think so far. While we are on the subject of my education lets talk about how I am going to graduate in ONE YEAR! I only have 10 classes left to graduate. Since I left ISU I have only been taking two classes a semester, which has been taking for ever. Since we pay cash for my tuition, it hasn't been too bad. I talked to my boss about hiring someone new, so starting in January I can start taking more classes and graduate faster. Starting in January I will only be working two days a week, so I can focus on school. I have also quit the Women of Caliber Competition Team, so I can fully focus on school. This is all so big and I am kind nervous. This all really depends on if Chris has a job by then. If he doesn't have a job, then I will have to continue to work. Now with shooting, I will still shoot when I can, I just don't want that commitment of...
