Life or something like it

Life has been so busy the last couple of weeks, Chris is counting down the days for the semester to be over...if you're asking yourself, "didn't the semester just start?", the answer is yes, yes it did. But I can't blame him...school is a drag. I have been busy with projects at work and also from Church, I don't think I am alone when I say that there are just not enough hours in the day. These days there is always something that has to be put on the back burner, today it was my hair...I look like I just got back from the gym, I hate when I don't have time to get ready, but at least the dishes are done. Tomorrow we will be going to Flagstaff for a retreat put on by the CEO of Performance Software, Chris' employer, It will be fun we're staying overnight at a hotel and we get a free dinner out of it so we can't complain. Chris is pretty excited to have me meet all of his work buddies, and I will finally be able to put faces to the names I hear all the time.

Our new obsession is Lost, but honestly, can you blame us? It's such a fun show to watch and we are kind of dorks about it...well Chris is...haha, he comes home some days telling me all of this deep stuff that he read online about the plot and I eat it up. I just am so glad that Jin's alive...Chris had told me that he didn't die and I was so glad that it was true and it's so crazy that he is with Russo, when she first came to the island OMG it's some crazy stuff! It's so sad that I just wrote a paragraph about a TV show, but I am not going to lie I love it. I even requested that our enrichment committee meetings were moved from Wednesday night to Tuesday night so I wouldn't miss Lost, pathetic, I know. Anyway now that I have revealed a another dorky side of me it's time for me to go.

wow time flies

So I can't believe it's been five weeks since I posted a blog...man time flies. So much has happened in the last 5 weeks. Chris and I celebrated our one year anniversary on the 5th, I can hardly believe it's been a year. Last weekend was so fun Meesa, Trev, Carter and Avery came to town and we took Friday off to spend the day with them, it was super fun...don't be jealous. Today we are spending the day with Mario it's been way fun, we had a blast bowling and I was able to show my mad bowling skills, my top score was 92...that's right...I rocked it. Chris and Mario had similar top scores, needless to say none of us are going to quit our day jobs to become pro bowlers. Then it was on to Costco for the $1.50 hot dog and drink combo and of course we had to peruse costco for samples. After our adventure in Costco we came back home so Mario and Chris could play some Smash Brothers, but I opted out of playing, because my smash skills would far surpass theirs and I don't want to hurt their egos....just kidding I suck at smash. I am all about Guitar Hero, I don't know how to say this...but I'm a big deal, people know me.

Arizona vanilla blog

So I have started a blog for work, it's my new favorite thing so you all should check it out at Vanilla Rocks

Don't be jealous

So Chris and I have reason to celebrate! Chris got a raise at Performance Software, and was pretty much told today that he rocks and that they want to keep him on for as long as he wants to stay and he is guaranteed a position with them when he graduates. Go Chris!

I hate the flu

I know, I know you are asking yourself right now, "why would anyone hate the flu? Honestly, it's a mystery to me." Well I hate it b/c contrary to public opinion, having the flu is no fun at all and it's contageous...I know...who knew? So first I was sick on sunday but this wasn't one of those 24 hour bugs I am still feeling under the weather. Chris got sick too, and had to stay home yesturday and is still feeling yucky today, the timing couldn't be worse with his semester coming to a end and finals creepy up on him. I just pray that he gets better faster than me.

Well inspite of all the sickness around here, it's beginning to feel like Christmas, Chris and I got our first Christmas tree and we decorated it this week and I was able to get all of the Christmas shopping done...Yay!!!! Now I just have to decide what to do for Chris's b-day next week, I still get a kick out of the fact that our birthdays and Christmas are in the same month and our anniversy is in the beginning of January...yep all with in a month of each other, so the next 30 days are going to full of celebration, go us...haha j/k.

So Much To Do, So Little Time

So much has happened in last month, it's been extremely busy. I got a new job working with for the Arizona Vanilla Co., it's super fun...don't be jealous. With my old job I had a lot of free time to blog and now I have work to do while at work! it's a wonderful thing. My days go by so much quicker :)I have also been doing sewing projects on the side. Right now I am sewing a prom dress for my little sister. It's way cute, and I can't wait to finish it. I will post pictures it when it's done. I have a goal to finish it this week.

This last weekend I had an awesome opportunity to fly to Utah and escort one of my dearest friends to the Provo Temple. It was such a wonderful experience, it meant so much to me to be able to be there for Toni. I can't think of anywhere I would of rather been.
So this last weekend was the first time Chris and I have been away from each other since we've been married. It was a lot rougher than I had expected, I could fall asleep at night and I was the fifth wheel when I was with my friends... it was pretty funny. I told Chris next time we would have to work it out so that he can come. It's crazy how quickly you can get used to being married. It's just great.
