Are you fo reals?

I'm confused... I know that there are numbers that you call where you have to talk to a machine, but usually it's that you listen for your number and then the machine directs you to a real person right?? BUT does everyone remember this thing, it's a machine but it's called VOICEMAIL!! Wow what a concept a machine that answers when a real person is not there to pick up!

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

So I have decided that I have my own hunger games, and the game is that I have to accurately guess the right amount of snacks I need when I leave the house! Unfortunately I do not always guess accurately, I loose the game and I get hungry and then sick..

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 :(

Summer Findings

Although Woody and I have been together for over a year by a lot.. we have never spent a summer together... Woody was in Kansas City last summer selling. And so far we have found some things out.

1. I wore a shirt the other day that is orange and yellow (a summer shirt) and he asked me if I had just bought it cuz he had never seen me wear it :) Just so you know it's mega old like years...
2. I have found out that laying by the pool is NOT in Woody's vocabulary. Thank heavens our pool has a basketball hoop or else he'd never get in!
3. The other day we went swimming with Heather, Jordan and Kakes and afterwards we went out. I had gotten sunburnt so I was needing some cool clothes so I just bought on a pair of swim trunks (don't worry the long ones) and Woody could not get over the fact that I would wear my swim trunks when I was not swimming, he made fun of me the whole night!!!
4. i found out that Woody does not like slurpees... abominable

That's it so far but I'm sure we'll have many more discoveries to come, I'll keep you posted

Summer Goal

So I went to a jazz class last Thursday with my good friend Kim, the class kicked my butt!! Today is SAturday and I am still so stinking sore. BUT my friend Kim looked great! She had some serious nice lookin legs had a good tan going on... so I asked her if she'd been working out comes to find out she's training for a half marathon! I thought "huh, that's cool I wanna do that sometime". Then I got to thinking about it yesterday and I thought why not do it now!! School is ending in two weeks and after that I'll just have work so i'll have lots of free time, who knows when I'll have so much free time again (probably never) So I've decided I'm training for a half marathon!!! The down side is that the one Kim is doing is full and there is not another one in Utah that I could do so technically I'm not going to run in one, but I will train for it and then run one by myself! COOL!!!

The neatest thing is that Kim told me about this website where you can make a running route and it tells you how long it is and how high the elevation is, that way I know how far I am actually running. The site is LiveStrong and I thought it was pretty neat!!

This first week is my "pre-training" where I have to get to the point where I can run for thirty minutes with no problem.. wish me luck on that! Afterwards I train! Call me crazy but I am getting pretty excited. It's always nice to have something to work towards, and I am also looking forward to my nice tan and great legs that hopefully will come to pass :)

So if you see me running and I look like I am hating myself.... just yell some encouraging words, like I have nice legs :)

Six Months

May 21 was mine and Woody's six month anniversary!! Woody's the bestest when I came home for lunch that day he had a beautiful rose and a rice krispie treat for me :) The rice krispy was because one time I brought one home and he ate it so he bought me another one and it was dipped in chocolate yum!! We shared it as our treat for lunch. Then that night we made chicken alfredo, Wood's favorite, it turned out pretty good



We had some martinelli's they were actually these mini ones that we got from Elise Kelly's bridal shower haha we saved them for a good occasion!

Afterwards we went out and bought a new vacuum and got some ice cream when we came home Woody went to work! (He's a great cleaner) and we were DISGUSTED at what our new vacuum picked up so we had to document it...... Just so you know we had already vacuumed once and our carpets just got cleaned (I guess cleaning your carpet pulls up all the dirt)




Good thing we bought the new vacuum!!! Now our carpet is clean and you can walk on it!! HOORAY!

life

Life has been BUSY BUSY BUSY lately. I am currently in the middle of Spring semester, which sadly I am taking 9 credits!! That may not sound like a lot but because spring is a condensed semester taking 9 credits really is like taking 18.
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!

WE MoVeD!!!!

Woody and I moved a couple of weeks ago down to P-town!! I am not gonna lie I was uper duper excited. Our apartment is tiny but o so cute and ours :) My parents came up and my sisters and their husbands all helped us move. Thanks to all of their hard work we were able to get everything in one load!! My mom and I stayed in Alpine to clean the apartment - they left us carless so Woody came and picked us up... some guy at our complex helped move us in and he was asking everyone who was moving in - he couldn't figure it out cuz neither Wood nor I were actually there hahaha..... after we got everything unloaded we went shopping :) We got us some couch covers which seriously transformed the room from old and ugly to cute :) a beautiful TV stand (because Wood's love is that TV) and a shower curtain (kind of a necessity) I'm not done hanging everything up so I will post more pictures when I am finished but I have loved decorating!! And it is heaven on earth to live in Provo. Thank you thank you to my family who helped us move we seriously could NOT have done it without you!!!

Compliments to my mother for the photos (you're right mom I am glad that you took them!)


Saying goodbye to the old apartment

HEllo!! To our new home!!
