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!!

Our first meal in the apartment
Daddy and I on our pretty couch after a long hard day work

Our wall assemble... It ended up being a little bit higher than I planned and a little closer... but I'm new at this whole hanging things up and I think it turned out pretty cute
Our dining area :)

Spring Break

I finally got my Spring Break!!! Well a make-shift one anyway. I finished up with finals last Wednesday signifying the end of a long and hard Winter Semester. Thus far the results are satisfactory but seeing as how only one of my teachers has posted my grade.. things could definitely change. Sadly on my first night of freedom Woody had to work so I watched TV, painted my toe nails and played Mario Kart :) The next couple of days were pure bliss I would work in the morning and then hang out with Woody all day!! We spent most of our afternoons outside on a blanket reading books. I managed to finish the Hunger Games and the sequel to it, and a book that I borrowed from Heather and Dear John hahaha I read pretty fast.



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!!

Random Pictures

Kherrington wants to play X-box tooo!!

Ya... I wear my sexy clothing while I work out, irresistible

This is what I came home to one day ... Woody just soaking up all the sun ha ha I love it

Heather has a cricket and so now we do arts and crafts!! Kherrington's name is stinking long but it is pretty darn CUTE!
These are me and Heather's "EAT" Shani made a similar set but she was not there when I took the picture. We have never been so creative in our entire lives I LOVE IT

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

There are not words to describe how sad I am right now I was reading an article about Mr. Obama and his newest action when I came across this statement:

"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
