The new year is coming!

How was everybody’s Christmas?! I hope that it was as fantastical as mine was. I was able to spend time with a lot of family, and it was just a blast. We had so much fun.
Our day started off at 4 in the morning because Josh’s dad needed to leave for work at around 5:30. The kids were so excited! They got a Wii from Santa this year! The look on Breezy’s face was hilarious. She just kept blinking her eyes, and had this look of confusion on her face… and then she started giggling.
My mom also bought my sister and her three kids a Wii this year. My oldest Niece was allowed to open the present, and as she was opening it she was like “what is this?!” and then as it was all the way unwrapped she goes “Oh… Grammy got us a WII!” And my sister also had a look of confusion on her face… Which was quite hilarious.
I love watching people open presents. It is the best, because I love faces of excitement and happiness. :o)

So, a little over a month ago I posted this. And now that the holidays are over, Josh and I are going to start trying again. We will start in January… {it’s really perfect timing because it’s that… er… time right now and it will be over in January. Amazing!}
Josh gets new insurance because of his promotion and we are going to get that squared away tomorrow! Things are starting to fall into place, and I am super excited.

I go to this website: The Bump. It’s pretty perfect, actually because it has a lot of information about trying to conceive and advice on what you should do, what you shouldn’t do, and all sorts of other really helpful information. It also has a lot of information for ladies who are expecting. I really love this website. Another thing that I love about it, is that it allows you to sign up for emails with articles about trying to conceive or what your baby looks like during that week if you are expecting. I get emails a couple times a week I feel like with information that is specific to what I am looking for, and I absolutely love it.
Just today I got this article which offers advice for things to do to help you be better prepared for conceiving.
Josh and I are pretty excited to get the ball rolling. Things are starting to look up, and it’s going to be fantastic.

Christmas!

I was gone on Christmas Eve, so I didn’t get to take as many pictures as I wanted to. :( But, that’s alright. I can deal with that.
Here are some pictures that I was able to take before I went to my Aunt’s house.

Sister Chelso. She is singing. She will be mad that this is on here. :o)
I put a bad picture of me on here. Chelso took it. I also left B’s eyes red. She thinks it is cool.

Here are some after I got home…

Josh and I in our new Pajamas! {from Kohl’s}

10 things that have made me smile this week

1. Going to Sequim to visit Liz and her hubby
2. Super Mario Brothers Wii
3. Cleaning my room {weird that I listed that, but it was very satisfying}
4. Having a pizza date with my husband
5. Seeing Josh’s siblings be SO EXCITED that Christmas is so soon
6. Last minute Christmas shopping
7. Reading my Scriptures. Amazing.
8. Spending a whole day with my friend who is home from Rexburg, Idaho
9. Getting an e-mail from my math teacher --- I got 95% on my final exam! woohoo!
10. Relaxing with my love, watching movies we rented from Redbox. So bomb.

Last night Josh and I attempted to watch our Church’s Christmas Devotional, but for some strange reason it wouldn’t load. I think that it’s because of our internet that is terrible right now. I think it’s the weather, honestly. But anyways, we are going to try again. If you want to watch it please click on this colorful link and watch it. I am sure that it is simply amazing.

anyhoo…
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYBODY!!!!
Christmas is now upon us with only TWO MORE DAYS!!! It is going to be great.
This is an awesome time to reflect on the birth of our Savior, and his mission. I am so thankful for the Savior and for his sacrifice, and I so grateful to a loving God, our Father in Heaven, who was so willing to send his only begotten to live and to die for us.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Cold

I missed my husband and my cats.
When I got home, my cats went crazy and snuggled me, it’s nice to know that I am missed when I am gone. :o)

I woke up this morning to this:

my cat, Boo Radley, curled around the heater in our room.

The Weekend

Just got to her place! This is the only 1/2 way normal picture of me. :o)

I went to Sequim, Washington. I visited my best friend and her new husband. We baked cookies. We ate two boxes of holiday Skittles, some Taco Bell, one whole bag of Rolo’s, we also ate {mostly me} a lot of cookies.
We played Super Mario Brothers for the Wii… for like 6 or 7 hours straight.
We slept in a lot {oh man, that was awesome}
I was able to help her with grading {she’s a 3rd grade teacher}

And now I am home. It was so fun. It was nice to be with my friend again.

Happy Friday!

My sister took this picture of me a few months ago. I was pretending to be her.

10 things that made me smile this week!

1. Waking up and realizing I didn’t have school or homework this week!
2. Talking to my dad. He is so silly, but I love him to pieces.
3. Getting a call from my friend telling me she is coming home this week :D
4. Seeing said friend tomorrow! {It hasn’t happened yet, but thinking about it makes me smile}
5.Weddings. I love weddings, and today my cousin and his lovely bride got married, and it was beautiful!
6. Christmas shopping!
7. Folding laundry. It’s kind of weird, but it’s very therapeutic for me. I love the warmness of the clothes, and how they smell soooo good!
8. Babysitting. Oh my word, I had to opportunity to watch a little boy yesterday, and he was the BOMB.COM! I loved that kid. He is HILARIOUS!
9. Snuggly cats. Always. :D
10. The fountain in front of the house when it gets super cold… because it freezes over. best.thing.ever. It’s so beautiful.

Have a great weekend! I am going to be gone all weekend visiting my bestie in Sequim! It’s going to be so fun! I will see you on Tuesday night!

Best Friends

hubs and I after driving from WA to UT all night long. We.Are.Beautiful.

Josh ditched his friends for half of the night last night to take me on a date. It was magical. We went to Wendy’s. And then we walked around the mall. Then I got a headache, and he took me home. {I feel a lot better now} he is truly a man after my own heart. We don’t have to do anything spectacular on a date… just as long as we are together. He is my love, and I love him dearly.
It’s going to kill me to be away from him for 2.5 days. {because I am seeing my other best friend this weekend!} But I will make it through because I will get to see him on Tuesday.

Family!

I forgot to put this picture on my last post…

These cute little munchkins are from my sister-in-law’s family. {I think} The one in the tan sweater dress on the right that is looking at the other girls with a funny face… she is my niece. And I love her dearly. This picture of her makes me think of myself because I give that face in almost every single picture I have of myself. :D I love family.

Weekend

I FINALLY got to talk to my bestie today. It’s been… almost one whole month! {tomorrow will be her one month wedding anniversary… :o)}
Guess what?! I am going to her house next weekend. Saturday night through Tuesday. I am going to leave Saturday with them, and then on Tuesday Josh is coming out to Sequim and we are going to play and play and play. And I am SO SO SOOOO excited!

Liz is going to take me all around Sequim. And I am going to bring my camera. I am going to see her classroom and help her re-organize it! I am just super excited.

Today was a great day. :D

Happy Friday!

right before we walked down the aisle. I have Kenny’s ring on my thumb.

What a week. I am pooped. I am so glad that this week is OVER! :D

10 things that have made me smile this week

1. Finishing my finals.
2. Buying Christmas presents on amazon and getting an awesome deal!
3. The cold and frosty December air
4. Finding all of our missing socks!
5. Attempting to go running with my sister
6. Finding this picture. Made my life.
7. Josh turning up the radio to listen to this song and this song
8. Snuggles
9. My kitties. So good to me.
10. Josh getting his promotion.

Have a good weekend! I am going to have a girls night with my sisters-in-law. I am really excited. :D We are going to watch “The Help.” I love Emma Stone so much. She is so super cute. I am excited to see this movie.

Prayers

Are sweet. And wonderful. And I would be lost without them.
So… this picture is HILARIOUS to me.

incase you can’t tell… Lizzy’s Grandpa is saying a prayer. Everybody has their eyes close, and their heads bowed. Except for me. It looks like I am silently laughing to myself… with my eyes wide open. And what am I looking at?! I just have no idea.

Pretty sure I rocked my math final. English final tomorrow and then I have a vacation! I am still searching for a job. I will find one, though. I know it.

See you tomorrow!

Every time…

Whenever I see this, I just die because I think it is HILARIOUS!
Seriously, I cried when I saw it last night. I have looked at it probably 1000 times since last night, too. It makes me so happy inside. Thank you Pinterest! You make my world go ‘round! :D

It has been a tough couple of days. I have been so stressed about about school. About life. About family. About Church callings. About marriage. About babies. About everything.
But, I am so, so, so glad that I have a husband that is super patient with me. He has been so nice, and so loving when I am laying on the bed crying because I do not know what else to do.
I am also so grateful that I have a really good sister-in-law that I can talk to about how I am feeling about things. She is so great. I am sad to see her leaving in January, but also really proud because she is going to school! And moving out on her own! Such a big girl. :o)
I am feeling a little bit better, though. Today was the last day of classes. I have a break tomorrow {which will be spent on the couch watching Pirates #4 eating Reese's and Twizzlers with my hubby} but the last half of the night will be spent studying for my finals on Thursday and Friday. I am so nervous.

We are still putting off having a baby. I don’t even think that we have talked about it at all for the past month. Things have just been too crazy. But we will get back to it {hopefully} when the holidays are over. I am looking forward to trying again. It just feels good to take a step back for a little bit and not have something else to stress over.

ANYWAYS have a good night!

Crocheting

I really need to think of more hobbies. I want to re-learn crocheting.

But in the mean time… my sister-in-law, Tanee {she is so stinkin cute!} has been crocheting and made this super cute scarfs.
If you could go here and look and possibly buy one, that would be bomb. Then leave me a comment and tell me what you think about her scarfs! :D

TODAY IS MY LAST DAY OF CLASSES! Finals on Thursday and Friday! Woot!

So…

is it totally ridiculous that I love this song right now?

yes yes, I have Bieber Fever.

Thank GOODNESS!

Taken at Lizzy’s wedding in November. I love how I am looking at Josh. <3

It’s Monday.
Friday is the last day of school for this quarter.
I will have one whole month off from school.
I need to find a job. Stat.
Josh starts his new “job” at Kohl’s today.
We are excited.
I have NO MORE HOMEWORK {sorta… I mean, my English hw is done}
I actually only have two days of classes left. :D

see you later!

Still here!

I am still alive. I am just crazy busy with school, trying to finish my paper{s} and study for finals next week. I really can’t believe that the quarter is almost over. Only 14 more to go. :D {I am planning on doing a lot of school over the summer too}

I am going to try and post my smiles tomorrow!
