Bunco and Shooting

Last week was Bunco! My favorite night of the week. Bunco was at Amy's house all the way in a far far away town. It was also St. Patrick's Day. After we played Bunco we all decided to go down town to hit up some St. Patrick's Day festivities. As I was driving down the highway back from Amy's house I heard something funny. I thought it was just the wind blowing through a crack in my back window so I didn't think anything of it until 7 miles down the country highway I noticed there was smoke coming from the back of my car. I pulled over and low and behold I had a flat tire that I had been driving on since Amy's house. I called Amy who was ahead of me to turn around and come back, I then called Chris to come and save me. It was so dark and I was in the middle of nowhere. As Amy and I sat in the car waiting for Chris to come save me we of course did what we do best and made a music videos like to goobers we are. You can watch it at our YouTube channel The Amy and Alyssa Show . Chris so kindly came and put a spare on my car, and since I told my sister I'd be her DD for the night we switched cars and I went down town to meet my sister. I got my free diet coke at the bar and was on my way, it was packed and there were way too many people out.



The last 13 weeks the gun club I shoot at has been doing a winter league. I shot the last one and it was finally perfect shooting weather! I was so tired of shooting in the cold, snow and mud. I was happy with the sunshine and dry ground. After the last match there were awards. I won a pretty sweet trophy, I got 1st in my division for the ladies. I was so excited! I almost wanted to cry, because as a girl in this sport it is really intimidating and the guys are always going to be better. I have been working so hard with my competition skills. You know how many times I have wanted to quit this sport? Too many to count. But, I keep on going because I love it! It really is something I truly enjoy and something you can keep progressing at. This spring/summer is my third season of competitions and I am excited for this upcoming season to see what it has in store for me!


Saturday was one of the first Saturday matches that Chris and I shot in. It was Steel Challenge and it was cold and windy but a good way to spend a Saturday. Here's to the Saturday's I wont be spending at the gym but instead rolling my tired ass out of bed, maybe showering and getting out on the range. 
He is only a fair-weather shooter but still cute

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...
