Work, Workout, Homework, Sleep, Repeat.

What happened last week? When I don't blog on my normal Sunday nights I forget what happend the week before by Monday. I'm pretty sure all I did was eat, sleep, gym, work, homework, repeat. with melt downs in between because I just don't think I can take another tedious research report. ( That I have been getting A's on) Holla! I Love that I only work two days a week now but those times I am not at work I am kicking my ass at the gym and then spending the rest of my day sitting at the kitchen table doing homework and its driving me NUTS! I don't have time to shoot, get my nails done or watch TV anymore. My research class is SO hard. We have to compete a research projects every two weeks for 12 weeks. The projects have to be 16 hours of research and writing a report on our findings then making a family tree for the family we researched. Family History ain't easy, I'm serious. The professor gives us this, " This persons name is this he was born about this time and maybe in this place" I only have 8 hours to research the person and sometimes I can't find everything I need, especially since all these families immigrated to America and their names changed over time. It is such a good class though! I am learning how to conduct professional research, what I'll be doing when I have my own researching business.

One night I forgot I had to feed the sister missionaries. Thank goodness I only had to bring them dinner to the Temple Visitors Center because I bought them pizza and my job was done! 



I'm also on a so called "diet" (its failing) but I had to go visiting teaching, and whats visiting teaching without homemade cookies?

It was my sister Erin's birthday!!! She is the big 2-6! She is so old. Check it:
That fanny pack though! Haha. I think I was in kindergarten showing off my lunch box and Erin must have been three. SO cute and so funny. 

Chris and I went to my sister's for a birthday party and she peer pressured me into drinking.
Just kidding, It was water. They were doing shots and made me a "blue dolphin" shot which is water. Weird.


Sunday was the Superbowl!!!!! The Patriots were playing the Falcons. Of course being from Rhode Island I am a Patriots fan! I'm a fan of everything Boston. I mainly like the Red Sox though, football is so hard to watch, they always pause the game....DAMNIT JUST PLAY ALREADY! I'm serious, Why do they run like two feet and decide to stop. Frustrating, at least in baseball they actually play. We had a party at my sister's full of food, people, and babies. The game was good and SO close towards the end. BUT THEY WON! It was amazing! I am proud to be a New Englander (except for that one time they cheated)



My Grandpa here in Idaho is in the hospital. He had blood clots in his lungs, he has a hole in his throat from working in bars when he was younger and there was a lot of blood coming out of it. Hes been in the hospital for a couple days on blood thinners and is doing better. I spent the afternoon there with him yesterday with my mom and sister and I went to visit him on my lunch break too. My office is conveniently across from the hospital so it was nice. If you are reading this pray for him that he will get to go home soon! 

Here is Amy and I just being cute.





I will now leave you with this gem:
If you don't have a snapchat you are missing out. Get snapchat and add me! alysb88, I will send you puppy pictures and my face doing weird things. You won't regret it. And if you send me selfies like this, I will screen shot it and use it against you later as seen above. 










PS: Ginger is the best of all the best Ginger's I know!!

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...
