Updates.

April seems to be flying by, but it has been a pretty busy month for us. I still need to post about our Easter, but it may never happen so don't hold your breath. Last week I went to St. George with my dad and met up with my Mom, Natalie and Nate who had gone down earlier in the week because they were on spring break.  The weather wasn't all that fabulous but it was still a really fun little getaway so I will definitely be posting some pictures and stuff from it on here soon! This week has been super crazy, I got home from St. George Sunday afternoon and Tyler was sleeping in preparation for the new job. He goes in on Sunday nights (which stinks, but I guess we will deal...he goes in at 11-- not too bad) so once he woke up we had a few hours to relax together and get him all ready to go. It was so weird having him leave so late. I stayed up a few hours and then hit the sack. It was so nice that when I woke up he was home! I thought I might feel lonely at night, but honestly I am kind of liking it...especially because Tyler is totally a blanket hog.  I am also grateful that I am one of those girls who doesn't get scared easily being alone. I don't mind it one bit. So far the only downside to it, is that I am home for the most part during the day but don't feel like I can do much of anything because I don't want to wake him...so basically the last few days I've spent most my time in front of the TV with the volume really low and a textbook in front of me (gotta love finals). I didn't really think about the fact that it would really limit by ability to accomplish anything during the day. Seriously Monday my first instinct was to go shower, but then I realized I couldn't use my blow dryer because it would be way too loud, so I bagged the shower and hung out in my pj's til 3. Tuesday Tyler got home from work around 8 and was able to take a 2 hour nap before he had to be to school, then after school hopped right back in bed for about 3 1/2 hours and then had just a few hours before it was time to be to work again, needless to say it kind of feels like the world is tipped upside down and nothing feels the same, but he likes the job and that's what is important I guess!  He's on his fourth night as I'm writing this and only one down before he'll be off for the weekend. I'm just really anxious for school to be done with so he can have a little less on his plate! To top things off, I've had a cold for the last week and have really been crossing my fingers that Tyler doesn't get it, its the last thing he needs. I also have been questioning if I have appendicitis. I had a lot of the symptoms a few weeks ago and then they just went away. Yesterday afternoon they came back, but I had a job interview and homework to do so I just kind of ignored them. I went to my parents after the job interview and they really thought I should go in and get it checked out, but by that point any regular doctors office and instacare were closed and I didn't want to go to the ER so i just went home instead. The pain went away briefly and then came right back and felt a little worse around the time Tyler was leaving so naturally I got myself all freaked out that I was going to have to drive myself to the hospital in the middle of the night...awesome. My parents were pretty concerned though still so they told me not to hesitate to call if I thought I needed to go in. Thankfully all symptoms and pain disappeared, so needless to say, I'm wondering what the heck is wrong with me. Crossing my fingers it doesn't come back! Sorry this post is super boring. I promise to post a happy fun post full of pictures real soon!!!

They're Baack!

I had NEVER ever heard of people getting crickets in their houses until they started showing up in MY house. 3 falls ago, I started noticing them in our basement. And not just occasionally, they would show up DAILY! Several new ones everyday, then I noticed, they were practically waiting for me. They love to chill at the bottom of our stairs. They REALLY crossed the line when one showed up IN my bed. I'm a complete bug wimp, so let's just say I didn't sleep in my own room for a week, I stayed in Kev's old room. I was very glad it was there for me. Luckily that year was the worst of them, last year there were way too many but none in my bed thank goodness. But this year, I'm getting concerned. I spotted 4 this weekend. One of them was HUGE. It looked like it was on steroids. I tried to catch it to kill it but it got away and hid before I could get to it. I hate that they can do that, and worst of all...I hate that sometimes I will kill them and think they are dead. Then I will go to get a vacuum to suck them up with and I will come back and they will be gone. I really don't understand why of all bugs, we have crickets in our basement, but we do. And I've mentioned them to other people in our neighborhood who have said they've had them too, but is this really a common thing elsewhere? Anyone else ever had them? I think it's disgusting. One reason that I hate fall.

Would you be ok sharing your house with something as disgusting as this little guy?

I Think I'm in Love

So when I first met Tyler I found his watch obsession funny. And kind of nuts.
Him and his roommates put all 3 of their watch collections combined and made me chose my favorite. These were their babies, so it was so funny how serious they were about me needing to pick. Well a year later...I too have fallin in love with watches.
What really sold me was the Nixon Rubber Player which is actually a boy watch.
Tyler is constantly putting his watches on my wrist and telling me they could look normal on a girl to, but nope. I still feel like a man with them on. However, on the 4th of July I put one of his Rubber Players on and loved it, so much that I wore it.

As is seen here...

Kinda boyish but in a cute way, or I think so anyway. Well since I wore this one they've come out with more of them. Still, none of them girl ones, but definitely "girlier." I was dying to have a purple one, because its SO cute and bright and fun until now...
I'm absolutely in LOVE with watch that just came out!!!
Friday night, Tyler was on Nixon's website and found it!
We were skyping because we both were home sick in bed, so we were skyping.
He sent me the link and said he couldn't wait to see my reaction.
He kept saying, "YOU ARE GOING TO FREAK OUT!"
I had no idea what he was even looking at, so didn't know if it was gonna be a good thing or a bad thing...the only thing I new for sure was that I was NOT going to freak out, just because he said I would. Not to be rebellious or anything, but simply because any reaction that was "freak outish" would just feel fake.
My REACTION: I just ended up laughing.
this watch made my night!!!
LOVES it.

I am in Pink HEAVEN...I love it. Now I just got to wait til I can find one on ebay or something, because as much as I am in LOVE with it. I will NEVER pay $175 for it.

....As for more Pink Love....
Remember this post?

I've been sleeping at home for the last little while, just to avoid sickness and such.
I came home for Fall Break cuz my bed at home is like Gold compared to my apartment bed.
Not that my apartment bed even sucks, but at home...words can not even describe how comfortable it is. Not to mention, it is PINK. Along with everything else in my Room.

I'm sure enjoying my little Pink Heaven.

EVERYTHING I HATE ABOUT BEING SICK.

Ok, lets face it. There is not anything I don't HATE about being sick! Maybe when I was younger there were things to enjoy, like a day off of school, but now as an adult, there are NO perks, because regardless how crappy I feel I can't miss class! Especially since over half my classes are heavily graded on attendance alone! Dancing when you're sick is NOT fun, I dreaded going to my advanced Jazz class today, because its a challenge enough when I am healthy, but when my entire body is aching BEFORE class, I know there is a problem! Luckily class was not AS bad as I thought it might be, and I actually nailed some pretty good turns, which usually doesn't happen on sick days since being sick knocks my equilibrium totally off! I hate the feeling, so I was shocked when I was actually able to turn! I have 3 papers to write this week and I am dreading them because my body is so tired and its so hard to focus on homework when all I really want to do is curl up in a ball and go to sleep! To make matters worse, when I do go to sleep, its not very good sleep, because my head is congested and I wake up because I'm unable to breath! So NOT fun! I'm hoping this bug is gone by the weekend, but we will see!!! Oh, and the UVU Inaugural Ball is tonight! My friend Jeff was in charge of planning the dance and i'm excited to go, but would be lots happier if I felt better! He did such a good job planning the GREEN OUT dance so can't wait to see what he's done for this one!

On a happier note: Found out today that my high school drill team, is doing a come back performance of thriller and bringing back the last 3 to 4 years of drill team members! I can't wait, I have missed performing more than anything! I love it and can't wait for next Wednesday. It should be pretty fun, because it will be the ONLY time me & my little sister will dance TOGETHER. Never thought that would happen! Woot. Woot.

Me & My Best Friend Jaynee doing THRILLER my Senior Year in High School. Don't we just look fabulous???

Life's Updates.

Lot has happened since I blogged last. So let me just fill you in...if you care to read.
Tyler's Birthday was on the 17th and it was fun to get to celebrate it with him. He is gettin kinda old now...haha 23...ok thats really not that old, but I remember being younger I thinking 20 was old so 23 would have been like super old! Anyways...we both worked but I managed to get off a little early...and not planned, but he got lucky (probably since it was his birthday) and they finished work early too so we got off to a nice start. I thought I'd be all thoughtful and go get some fancy cupcakes from the Sweet Toothfairy to celebrate...so I did. But we never did eat them. So that was sort of a failure. We went to dinner at Olive Garden because 1. Olive Garden is yummy and 2. Jeff works there and we LOVE Jeff. We were hoping he would get to be our server so we could leave him a juicy tip, but unfortunately his area was full. After Olive Garden we went with my friend Jaynee and her boy a Drive In movie. We saw Harry Potter...definitely NOT my choice...it was the birthday boys pick...I struggled to stay awake the entire time, but no I never did fall asleep because Tyler kept shaking me or pulling my arm out from under my head anytime I was about out. Even though I don't like Harry Potter I had a great time and hopefully it was a good birthday for him. The day following his birthday we celebrated with lots of our friends out on the lake! It was a great day for boating...not for cell phones though. Mine decided it wanted to go for a swim...but turns out cell phones don't swim. The second it hit the water it sank. Next time...I think I'll be leaving my phone in the car. Apparently purses aren't safe!
I went on my much NEEDED Vacation...It was such a blast! I don't love Disneyland as much as I used to, but still was lots of fun! It was fun to go with Nate because he is finally old enough and brave enough to go on all the rides with us! San Diego though, was my highlight. I tried boogie boarding for the first time and its so much fun. I could have done it all week!
I got sick. I got sick at the end of our trip...thanks to Nathan. My family is cursed. The last 3 vacations someone...if not everyone ends up sick. I felt horrible on Saturday coming home. I was so glad to land in Salt Lake and go home and go straight to MY bed! Now...Im STILL waiting for the day that this stupid sickness goes away...today would be day 8 of this stupid sickness. And I have a feeling it will still be here on day 9...no fun.
My greatest...newest...and most exciting news is that I'm MOVING!!! ...To a condo in Orem. I love my room at home and love my bed and love not having to pay rent, but it is a good change. I'm excited to be closer to school. I hated driving on bad roads last year and now I will only be a hop and a skip away from campus which will be nice. And I'll be closer to Tyler too :) that 25minute drive has gotten really old.
...pictures to come soon!!!
