Tuesday
Major Bummer to both realizations
So I get up and I still have nasty breath from the late dinner last night which consisted of some onions... YUCK (don't worry I DID brush my teeth last night). Get ready for work - gurggle some serious mouth wash and head out.
At work: I currently sound like a frog cuz my throat is feeling funny, I've got like head cold feeling in my head and it's pretty chilly in the office.. so I put a blanket over the AC unit, that helped.
The assignment at work today: answer phone calls of old ladys with great ideas for us to film in Washington, page people over the intercom (not my favorite), be surrounded by boxes and boxes, and put stickers on candy bars.. normally one would think then that my desk would smell of delicious chocolate (o that sounds heavenly) but no.. the stickers smell like, uh vinegar?? maybe either way they stink, my hands stink, my desk stinks....
So cheers to a Tuesday that's worse than a Monday, talk about Tuesday blues

Born to be a King/Queen
Many years ago I heard the story of the son of King Louis XVI of France. King Louis had been taken from his throne and imprisoned. His young son, the prince, was taken by those who dethroned the king. They thought that inasmuch as the king’s son was heir to the throne, if they could destroy him morally, he would never realize the great and grand destiny that life had bestowed upon him.
They took him to a community far away, and there they exposed the lad to every filthy and vile thing that life could offer. They exposed him to foods the richness of which would quickly make him a slave to appetite. They used vile language around him constantly. They exposed him to lewd and lusting women. They exposed him to dishonor and distrust. He was surrounded 24 hours a day by everything that could drag the soul of a man as low as one could slip. For over six months he had this treatment—but not once did the young lad buckle under pressure. Finally, after intensive temptation, they questioned him. Why had he not submitted himself to these things—why had he not partaken? These things would provide pleasure, satisfy his lusts, and were desirable; they were all his. The boy said, “I cannot do what you ask for I was born to be a king.”
I really love this story because all of us are princes and princesses of a King, our Heavenly King. All of us are also constantly introduced to and surrounded with the vile things of the world. But like this prince we too can resist for we are all born to be Kings and Queens. So to all: lift your head up and reply to the world, "I cannot do what you ask for I was bron to be a king!!!"Sunday, July 25, 2010
Beach Trip
Woody and I had the amazing opportunity of going on the annual Albright vacation - a week at the beach!! Unfortunately this year it was a bit chillier than us but we still had an absolute blast. We spent a day going to Hunnington Beach to look at the shops, we went to the wedge, to the orange county fair and then spent some time lounging on the beach!!!

Being an Auntie..
Baby Brighton took a little more convincing for him to love us. When Brighton was first born I spent a lot of time helping Shani out with him and me and him bonded.. but then life got busy and we lost our bond :( However, Woody and I just spent the night at Shani and chris' while they went out for their anniversary. They left while Brighton was asleep so when he woke up me, Heather and Kherrington went to get him. When Brighton first saw me he looked like he was about to cry but then he saw his first love, Kherrington and everything was GREAT! I'm pretty sure that sealed the deal with baby B because he loved me from then on!! This morning when I went to get him from his crib I was greeted but the cutest smile! and he even slept the whole night through and did not wake up until 7:30.
I absolutely love spending time with these little guys and it makes me excited to some day have my own little tikes running around the house. I've always been a sucker for little kids, but what's even better is watching Woody play with them.. he's so cute :)

A year ago today

A year ago today Woody and I got engaged!!! Woody was up in Kansas City selling pest control and I was able to fly up and stay with him over the fourth of July. Unfortunately Woody still had to work so I spent my days hanging out in his apartment reading and watching movies and trying to stay busy to not be too bored. But then we got to hang out at night. On Sunday we toured some church history sites and ended up at Adam-Ondi-Ahman where Woody popped the question!! The jewler was supposed to send the ring up but they forgot, luckily Woody's friend's mom was coming up also and brought the ring with her. I was so excited to finally be officially engaged and spent the rest of the summer planning our wedding!!!Wednesday, June 23, 2010
An Easy Choice with such evidence
In case you couldn't tell, Woody is the main man
World Cup
10 things to do while your spouse obsesses over the world cup
Survival Tip #1: Hit the gym. Your

Survival Tip #2: Stack up on your summer reads. Spend an afternoon in the park getting lost in a book (... or two!). Suggested reading: Bend It Like Beckham (just kidding!).
Survival Tip #3: Dust off those cookbooks. You know what's silly and fun at the same time? Cooking meals that correspond to the games (like pasta when

Survival Tip #4: Wash your car. It'll give you an excuse to get out of the house — and away from the sound of your spouse yelling "Bad call!" at the TV. Besides, a little sunshine will do you some good. And your windows are dirty.
Survival Tip #5: Shop. If there was ever a time to snag a few "extra" items at the store, it's now. What else are you going to do?
Survival Tip #6:Make the basement (or spare room) into your own personal lair. Stake your claim on the coveted space and turn into your own personal home

Survival Tip #7:Sign up for classes in something that interests you. By the time your spouse is done watching the World Cup, you could be an expert salsa dancer/pottery painter/French speaker/Frisbee thrower ... (okay, you get the idea).
Survival Tip #8: Revamp your MP3 playlist. Finally, you can shop for songs you like without your spouse standing over your shoulder asking, "Really? You're paying to hear Lady

Survival Tip #9: Make travel plans. What could be more in the spirit of the World Cup than planning a trip to a country you've always wanted to visit? Just, you know, be sure to invite your spouse.
Survival Tip #10: Start scheduling your post-World Cup TV schedule — and DVR-ing all of your favorite shows. Remember, what goes around comes around!
In all fairness it's not the bad - most games are on in the morning and truth be told I get sucked into everything. So although I am not a fanatic like my husband (who woke up at 5:30 to watch a game) I will watch them with him sometimes and today I did check to see if USA won the match. So my dear Woody (if he reads this, he always reads the ones I could get in trouble for) I am not complaining about your world cup fascination, cheer them on baby!!! And while you do I have some plans for me :)

Best of the Best


My husband is not yet a father but someday he will be :) I know that he will make a great father because of how much he loves his niece and nephews. He is great with the kids and enjoys playing with them and having fun. I am grateful for his hard work now in preparing for the future he is the best husband a girl could ask for: sweet, loving, forgiving and patient love you wood

Dear John
So a little bit ago I borrowed the book Dear John from my sister-in-law, besides the fact that it was slightly boring (I guess a love story just does not cut it for me, I need some action mixed in!!) it was uper uper sad!! So when I was done I was left feeling depressed and decided I would never read the book again (I'm pretty sure I ranted to Woody how I could not believe I read a whole book about John and whats-her-name and they did not even end up together!) and when the movie came out I had no desire to see it. However, every one said that it was better than the book and well "John" is super hott so I watched it last night while Woody watched basketball with a friend..... so how did it measure up to the book?? Definitely different, worse or better?? Well parts of it were worse the only thing "better" about it was that she ended up with John in the end however other things I believer were definitely more sad... anywho it's a good movie but not one I would recommend if you don't feel like perhaps having a few tears escape

Are you fo reals?
Here's what I'm confused about: why is it... that when people call and I send them up to lets say membership and then they call me back all mad and frustrated saying that they would like to talk to a person not a machine. Really? Did you not listen to the machine? Cuz you must have missed the part where it said they were unable to answer to please leave a message bla bla bla. Then I have to politely explain to them that real people answer that line they just all must be busy so if they leave a message (no one understands this concept either) then some one will call them back. Well, like I said, people just don't leave messages. So I get the same person call back 3-4 times because they refuse to leave a message and they keep trying to catch the person and of course it is always my fault that the people are not answering.
O the woes of being a receptionist....

hunger games
I am really confused why I get so sick when I am hungry. STOP I AM NOT PREGNANT . this wonderful mystery has happened most of my life, sometimes it gets worse and sometimes better. It's not like a "wow, I'm hungry" it's literally that i get hot and kind of clammy and then I just get kind of dizzy and light headed it's very close to what car sickness feels like. So I am wondering what the heck? It would be really nice to not have to bring snacks EVERYWHERE I go, and to be able to cut down the food intake possibly? I dunno but I'm just saying... Hopefully this does not get worse when I do get pregnant I'm hoping it's like the lactose intolerant thing, Wood said that there is a 30% chance it (lactose intolerance) will go away when I'm pregnant!! YIPEE So maybe my hunger sickness will get better, but sadly I fear it is more likely to get worse.
As I am sure you can guess, I am currently hungry.. feeling the hot and clammy coming on... and the bad news: I already ate my afternoon snacks at work :(

life
PLUS I'm working and usually I do my homework at work except for lately I've had to do work at work LAME!!
PLUS for one my classes I have to get 12 observation hours at an elementary school and since I've squeezed all my classes and work in so tightly I was only able to go in for about an hour every afternoon... and that was leaving work an hour early.
PHEW! The good news is: I have been working in Shani's classroom for my hours and I have really enjoyed it. Maybe it's just been fun because it's the end of the year or cuz Shani is such a cool teacher or cuz I'm a flippin balla so all the kids like me .... but I've decided that it would have been ok for me to get my elementary education license (meaning I could teach 1-6) instead of my ECE license (I can only teach preschool-3). But I just remember that the bad stories coming out of the higher grades (I think) are worse than the ones that come out of the lower grades.. so I'm good with my little ones :)
Woody has been the best. Not counting last night.. it has been well over a week since I last cooked dinner. But count into the fact that we were both sick for a couple of days and we went to Vegas for the weekend. But yesterday I decided I'd take a break from school and be a wife for the night.. by this I mean while Woody was at work I was going to clean, I did pick up the kitchen but then I noticed that Woody had already cleaned everything else! Way to go Babe!! I made us some dinner and then when he came home we went grocery shopping (it's been like 2 maybe 3 weeks...) at Walmart and picked up some pictures. This was ridiculously FUN! It was so nice to be able to just hang out with Woody for a night. we had a blast singing and dancing in the car and put up some picture frames in the house.
I am the luckiest for girl because I got the best husband!

Spring Break

But I would definitely suggest The Hunger Games as a book to read. It was really really sad and sometimes I almost stopped. I had to wait to read the book until after Woody was done because he started while I was studying for finals.. he loved to rub the fact that he read the book before me in my face. He thinks he's so funny But I read the second book before he was done. He hasn't let me read it since it's he is so last night while Woody was at work I read it front to cover -- I was supposed to be packing... ooopss It's better than the first!! I really liked it

Woody and I also went out to dinner on Saturday to a delicious Chinese restaurant and saw the movie The Last Song which I cried my eyes out cuz I had no idea it was a sad movie. We watched us some Jazz Games and they are now 3-1 in the series and only need on more win!! Lets go Jazz!!
You just have to love Boozer's enthusiasm!!Sadly I am not back to work and school. I loved being able to spend time with Woody without having any assignments hanging over my head and cannot wait for this semester to be over so I can have me some summer time!!

5 months down eternity to go

Woody and I have been married for 5 months today! Yippee!! It is pretty crazy because as I think about it I feel like it has gone by so fast, but at the same time it feels like we've always been married - weird how things like that happen. These 5 months have definitely been the best of my life (really truly cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye!) Woody is the best husband a girl could ask for and I am grateful for all he does for me and all he puts up with :)
Some things that I have learned:
1. I am now fully aware of my inability to close cupboards and drawers, I am officially in rehab and doing much better at this.
2. Woody wakes up slow - it's pretty cute to watch him wake up in the morning, he's definitely not a "get up and jump out of bed" type of guy
3. There are many ways to be connected to sports, numerous channels on the TV, multiple websites that need to checked, newspaper articles the next day, and of course instant updates on Woody's itouch
4. I can now officially drive a manual, I still need to test this but hopefully I can now drive it without making Heather want to relieve her stomach of all it's contents
5. Woody is a baby hog (which I think is cute)
6. Memo (a player on the Jazz) reminds me of a Teddy Bear, and if I were to meet anyone on the Jazz it'd be him
7. I'm actually not a bad cook, just not creative and need experience (hopefully this is true ask Woody)
8. Woody likes Pirates - I used to think he didn't because he didn't ever let me watch it, but now I know it is just because he thinks I have watched it too much
9. Woody hates TV. He cannot stand commercials except for during a Basketball game of course
10. I have to be touching Woody while I sleep, even if it's just my hand on his back... he always teases me when he wakes up (on the rare occasions that I'm still there) that I make him sleep on the very end of the bed every night... but if he would just sleep next to me in the first place I would not have to keep scooting over!!
11. I love when Woody and I get up at the same time even if its at 7:00 a.m. it's so much harder to get up when he gets to stay in bed
12. Money does not grow on trees and there are always things to pay for (bills, food, hospital etc.)
13. If your husband calls you 3 times (and you keep ignoring it) answer the stupid phone
14. I don't do homework if Woody doesn't have homework
15. Sleeping in a hospital STINKS (thank you mommy for staying with me the week I had my appendix out!!!)
16. I can usually fall asleep better while watching movies then when it's time to go to bed
17. Fun Fetti Cookies are divine
18. Woody misses me when I leave :)
19. Woody is a big softie at heart
20. It is impossible for us to decide where to eat or what movie to watch (we fight over who HAS to decide not who gets to)
And many more things but I figure everybody probably stopped reading around.. O I dunno... 2?
But in case anyone is still interested I have some updates:
1. Woody is starting to put some weight on his foot, a little more everyday!! Yay!
2. I am almost done with school (one more final to go)
3. We are moving in two weeks down to Provo (thank heavens no more long drive!!)
4. I turn 21 in 70 days (I got that off of a twilight countdown hahaha)
Time to get back to studying... boo!!!

O Obama
"The General Accounting Office has identified 1,138 instances in federal law where marriage is important," said one gay rights activist, who spoke on the condition of anonymity before the White House formally announced the directive. "We've knocked off one of them."
Article:
Obama
Does it even matter what Mr. Obama has now made legal?... the point is that he is supporting the attack of the family. Our President supports this goal, how truly sad is that.
I am so grateful for the Prophets and Apostles and for their clear vision of what is truly important
"The family is ordained of God."
If only President Obama would heed their warnings and their promptings..
"We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society."
- The Family: A Proclomation to the World
If only he knew, if only all of the citizens of the United States knew, that without the family our society will fail.
I believe it's time for a new president

What a Morning
Unfortunately, I have always had difficulty changing Woody's air (from hot to cold vice versa). It was chilly this morning so I was wanting some hot air.. and it would not turn for me!! It was such a little stubborn guy. Sometimes it just needs a little extra force, so I applied said force and.... I broke it. Aw great I thought no I will have no hot air AND I have to tell Woody that I broke his car.
I continued my flipping long journey from home to work thinking "shoot, shoot, shoot, I broke the turny dial thingy". When all of a sudden this car comes by me starts honking at me and points at my back tire.
Crap.
So luckily we were right by an exit I pull of and as soon as I am off the freeway out pops my tire!!! I had a blow out!!
Luckily it was a nice couple from Provo that were on their way home from going to the Timpanogos Temple, dressed in their sunday best. But the guy was nice enough to start to change my tire, and after that some highway man came and finished it for him.
I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father was looking out for me, and that the couple decided to go all the way out to American Fork (so stinking early!!) to go to the temple, that they saw my car smoking (yikes) and pulled over and helped me change my tire.
Luckily, I have such a sweet husband who did not get mad at me for breaking the air turny dial thingy (it might have something to do with I first told him the tire blew out) but never-the-less he is the best. He never gets mad at me (which sometimes he probably should) and is the quickest at forgiving and forgetting, I definitely needed to marry someone as calm as my Woody!!
I guess I just should have taken Ravioli and filled her up.. o well
AND
I forgot my ring today I HATE it when I forget my ring.. my finger is naked!!!
I have an odd craving for chocolate milk and perhaps a doughnut on the side...weird
