You have one week left!

I have only one week left until my 24th birthday which means that all of you have one week left to get me a killer birthday present! So get up, turn off your computer, and get me something awesome! HAHAHA! Just kidding! But really! WOW! I cannot believe that I have already been alive for 24 years! Minus one week, but still! I really thought that I would have a baby by now. : ( Oh well. Someday.

At least I can look at my life as it is and be satisfied with where I am, right?! I mean I am 23 years old and I have a house, 3 cars (not paid off but they will be someday!), a wonderful career as a nurse, and, best of all, the best husband I could ever ask for. I really have everything that I want and need, minus the kid, but my time will come.

So, happy birthday to me...in a week! Maybe this will be my year to have a kid, or at least get pregnant. I would take either!

Funny Memories!

So a little while ago I went on break. When I walked into the breakroom there were several cakes and desserts sitting on the table. One was a homemade treat. It got me thinking and wondering if somebody would possibly mess around with others by putting secret ingredients in when they make stuff. That reminded me of a funny college experience. When I lived in the dorms in Price we had some neighbor boys who would always come in and take our food and eat it.

My roommates and I had had enough!

So Kai, Maggie, Haah (Heather), and I made some special brownies...not the normal special brownies though! We decided to make Ex-Lax Brownies! We bought chocolate flavored Ex-Lax and a brownie mix and we made our special brownies. Then we set them out on our table and opened the door so the boys could smell them when they walked past after baseball practice.

Sad to say our experiment didn't work out. It was the one time that they decided NOT to steal our food. It would have been hilarious but oh well! Just a warning though...if you steal my food, you'd better watch your back! HAHAHA!!!

More updates!

All has been going great lately. We are still staying busy but nobody is near death in the family, which is relaxing!!! Things were pretty crazy for a while there!

Aaron has been focusing on looking for a job and keeping the house in order while I stay busy at work. We have spent pretty much every spare minute together, watching movies, playing games, and just laughing together! There is never enough time in a day so we savor every moment we have together, or at least we try to. Hey! We are human after all!!!

It has been really nice to have both of us done with school. It's kind of funny. I was looking at the institute schedule the other day and noticed that January 18th was a holiday and there wasn't any school that day. I got all excited thinking, "YEA!!! Aaron doesn't have school that day!" Then I realized that he doesn't have school any day soon. DUH!!! HAHAHA!!! I had to laugh at myself and share the funny thought with him.

We are really enjoying life to the fullest right now and try to make every day a good day!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We have had a great past week! We had a small New Year's Eve party at our house and we went to Texas Roadhouse with Aaron's family! At the party we played Wii games, ate lots of food, and celebrated the new year with a kiss and party poppers! The Thompsens came over and later on, James and Megan King came over! We don't get to see James and Megan very often so that was a special treat! On New Year's Day we had a few couples over for an activity night. Brad and Heather Taylor, Cass and Taylor Pebley, and Travis and Rachel Thompsen came. We played the Wii, Catch Phrase, and Sequence. The boys pretty much killed the girls on most of the games but whatever! We all know that we have to let the boys win every once in a while, right?! HAHAHA!!!

Tonight we went to ward FHE where we played a "Who, What, Where" game. It was kind of tough but a lot of fun! Then Aaron and I came home to watch "The Bachelor". It was really good and I can't wait to see the rest of the season! Now we're just hanging out, getting ready to go to bed! We are just staying busy and loving life!
