my weekend was exhausting! (too much fun!)

When I think back on the weekend I want to take a nap.
Just thinking of Saturday alone does that.

Friday: OFF work! But still didn’t sleep in, well slept in from waking up at 4am…but not sleeping in as in getting at least 8 hours of sleep. I went to Jessica’s and visited and hung out with Preston. Went and picked up my Mom from work and we planned on going to lunch with Tylon. Made some Baby shower invites for my SIL Amanda. Ty came home and we went to Crackers & Co. BEST sandwich ever… oh man… Pablano Pork Carnitas Melt. Heavenly I tell you!!! Tried to take a little nap. Worked on the invites some more… Went out with friends. Shopping and Nielsen’s Frozen Custard.

Saturday: RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL!!!! I ate… and ate... and walked…. and ate… and saved Preston from a bee… and ate some more…. Almost threw up… like dangerously close to having to barf in public… thank heavens that passed because that would have been embarrassing. After the RF I got home and went shopping with Tylon and Mom… came home… and went out with Tashina…. More shopping… I was exhausted!

Sunday: All I could think of was a nap… that’s my favorite thing about early church… Sunday naps! Watched some Oscars with my Dad. Then some Tylenol PM for the win! I had a great weekend… exhausting… but great!

Some of my weekend highlights…

--Visiting Jessica & PRex
-- getting the new iPhone!!!!
-- Game night with friends.
-- Cleaning house with my Mom. Makes it so much easier when you have music blasting and you sing and dance around. Whilst cleaning. {the only thing that may make that better is wearing a tutu… next time…maybe}
-- Feeling unmotivated to do anything and just wanting to stay in bed… later realizing I was getting sick. All started making sense.
-- Playing around on my new phone… ahh…
-- Movie night with family…. We watched the movie RED… good movie…have you seen it?
-- Super Bowl Sunday! Yummy food… family time… and the NEW GLEE!!! Hmm… {gosh I have been waiting so long for that show to be back!}
--Ty and I went to dinner with Jadon & Amanda last night & visited afterwards. It was so fun to chat with Amanda while we watched the boys play Wii.
-- I was home from work yesterday fighting this cold…again… I gotta get over this by Saturday… Jessica talked me into another 10k… oh dear…

wanna know what i did this weekend...

… Went to Target where I met up with Jessica and Prex!
… I danced like crazy. Between Just Dance 2 on the Wii and Zumba on Friday I think I danced a good 5 hours that day… AWESOMENESS!!!
… Ran errands! Tried to find hair color at Sally’s which they did not have, got my nails off, vacuumed and washed my car, cleaned the bathroom, and tidied up.
… I celebrated a friend’s birthday over lunch at Olive Garden.
… Held a cute kid (ahem….Preston!), who in return made me forget my leftovers on the table at said lunch. (yes, I am blaming him…distraction!) Oh well! I’d rather hold him and get hugs than have leftover raviolis any day.
… Took a nap while CNN played in the background. Sad news in Tucson Saturday!
… Went to a friend’s reception.
… Jammed out in my car with Tashina… and maybe the guys in the truck next to us danced along.
… Saw Tangled again (cried again…sheesh!)… Got some pretty awesome blisters from a pair of heels. The pain we go through to wear those things sometimes.
… Went to a CES Fireside where the topic was taking things “One day at a time.” Not giving into the pressure of the moment; taking it one day at a time. Don’t look ahead to the pain. Just get through the day…. So that’s what I am going to do. Or at least try too.

weekend of Christmas parties!

This weekend was filled with Christmas parties… My Mom’s side was on Friday and my Dad’s side was on Saturday. It was fun to see everyone…And my friends took me to lunch at The Cheesecake Factory… so good!!! (Thanks Jessica!!!)

Yesterday wasn’t so fun… Tylon and I got some sort of stomach bug… which we are thinking may have come from a Christmas party as some of my other extended family got it too... so not fun… and now my mom isn’t feeling good. At least it is only a 24 hour bug…but seriously no fun… I’ll spare you the details…

Anyways… one of my favorite people in the world is taking me to get a pedicure for my birthday… I can’t wait!!! Birthday radius continued… also today Randon and Callie find out what they are having…. Did you see that Jadon and Amanda are going to have a boy…? SO EXCITED… I am going to be selfish and say I want Randon and Callie to have a girl… just so I can have one of each to love on… haha…

I got no sleep this weekend...

I will just start by saying I did not get enough sleep this weekend. Not at all!

Friday – Jessica & Preston visit! – Tylon got his mission call – Costco – shopping with Tashina – Jason’s Deli – Old Navy – Kohl’s (where I got heels for $19!) – Friends & family over for Tylon opening his call… so excited he is going to Madrid Spain – YSA Christmas Party – Village Inn with the friends after – Finally some sleep after NO NAP, that may be a Friday first!

Saturday – I was up early, no idea why – Target – Zumba class with Mom and Jessica (disappointed in that Zumba teacher. At least we know now not to go to her.) – Showered and getting ready for concert with Shay and Liz in Tucson. We saw Christina Perri, Ryan Star, Ingrid Michaelson, Plain White T’s, and Sara Bareillis….Awesome concert! Love that Sara did a version of Single Ladies…so neat! – Long drive back to Mesa, but listened to Glee to get me through – Getting to bed after 1:30.

Sunday – Church – Meeting – NO NAP – Went and heard Ty speak in our old ward, he did a great job – NO NAP after that ward either – Family over for birthday dinner for both Zach and I…yummy food… potstickers, egg rolls, chicken & beef skewers…DELICIOUSNESS!!! And Zach chose Haystacks for his dessert… I probably ate like 50...- We played some MOW! – Somewhat early bedtime.


Today I am hoping for a short nap after work before heading to the gym for some running and then Zumba. But this week we find out what Jadon and Amanda are having! Also have 2 family Christmas parties... and a birthday lunch with friends...oh yeah...and MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Happy Monday!

What I did this weekend....

This weekend included…
- visiting Samantha - Napping – Shopping – seeing Tangled again (crying more the 2nd time than the 1st, but I blame Ty for that) – Shopping – Eating so much I want to throw up – Ward Christmas Party – Time with Preston & Jessica – Lunch with Bree before she leaves on her mission – Making plans to see Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, and Plain White T’s this coming Saturday in Tucson….so excited! – Getting car maintenance done – GETTING OUR CHRISTMAS TREE! - Crafting – Decorating our Tree! – Family dinner & games – Christmas Devotional – Falling asleep on the couch

Weekend Update

Wednesday – Left work early. Quick visit with Jessica. Nap. Mom and I went to Old Navy to stake out what we wanted for the Black Friday sale. Found a SUPER cute jacket. Only one jacket in my size and the color I wanted. Dinner with Tashina at Matta’s where I ate WAY too much. I haven’t felt that uncomfortable in a long time. We then went and saw Morning Glory. (really cute). Then went and got a Blizzard. Then decided we weren’t ready to be done and went back and saw Tangled (even cuter).

Thursday – TURKEY DAY! Woke up WAY too early… 6:22 to be exact… Checked my phone and saw an Old Navy email and saw that the outerwear started that day. Too excited to sleep. I really wanted my jacket. So got ready. My mom woke up just in time to come with me. She is a good shopper… she went in like she would tackle anyone that got close to that jacket. Got my jacket, another jacket, pajama bottoms that were only $5, and a cute shirt. We then went to Wal-Mart. Why you ask? Annoying people at Wal-Mart & having to wait 15 minutes for a receipt because we bought a newspaper. Lame! We got ready for our turkey meal at my Aunt’s house. GOOD food. Great times with the family. SHAY! Keith Urban Half-Time show during the Cowboys game. Family friend coming and staying at our house. Michael’s, which was crazy busy.Wanting to see Tangled. Not going. BLACK FRIDAY plans!

{Shay, Ty, & Me... before Thanksgiving dinner}

Friday – Leaving for Wal-Mart at 11:20 with Mom, Kaylee, and Tashina… Grabbing the movies before the sale. Oops. Seeing Jimmy and Jaron and making plans to help each other.. Getting ready to grab appliances as soon as midnight hit. Laughing too much and having too much fun. Waiting in line for a long time. Denny’s. Then Target. Umm. HUGE long line, no thank you going home. Slept a bit. Then going out shopping again, Target, Kohl’s, Michaels. At this point I was getting a bit grouchy. Yes me. Getting grouchy… it is possible. Visiting the Reynolds. Eating Dove Peppermint Bark and reading the promises. Purchasing a Cricut. Sad News. Once again wanting to go see Tangled. Which again didn’t happen. Walks to Circle K for Hot Chocolate and Red Box.

{Tashina, Mom, Me & Kaylee... a little crazy... taking a break between store hours opening}

Saturday – Going to the Mall. A scary parking lot. Spending only $33 for 2 pairs of pants!! Elf. More visitors coming to stay with us. Falling asleep to Spongebob.Sunday - Church. Short nap. Back to another ward for Bree’s farewell. Another short nap. Reading some more Harry Potter. Elf. Reurning movies to Red Box in my PJ’s. Freezing cold outside!

Yes I did two things I said I would not do this weekend. Go to Wal-Mart and the Mall. And yes I went to Wal-Mart twice.

It was a crazy busy but fantastic weekend!!!! And guess what is just around the corner… MY BIRTHDAY!!! Woot woot! Well… and Christmas!

Weekend Update

FRIDAY - So I went to the Midnight showing of Harry Potter. I really liked it… I did get half way through the book… but the movie went farther than half way. But the movie was so good. The midnight showing was so fun. We got there at like 3:30… we were allowed in at 8:00… and then we chilled in the theater….talked, played some games. It was a blast! I got home and slept for 35 minutes and then had to go to work. I survived working 4 hours to go home and take a nap. I went and visited Jessica & Preston for a bit. Then Randon and Callie came in town. We stayed up late visiting. SO FUN!

SATURDAY – Slept in! (Still not caught up on sleep from the midnight showing). Went to Kmart and Target. Did some crafts. My mom convinced my dad to do a turkey dinner for just our immediate family as all the siblings were going to be over so we had a nice turkey dinner. It was delicious. Hello stuffing and gravy, my absolute favorite part. Played games and visited. 5 card MOW! With the girls. HILARIOUS! Then watched How to Train Your Dragon.

SUNDAY – After church Tylon was ordained an Elder. We had a little luncheon for family/friends that came and supported him. Then NAP TIME!!! Naps on Sunday are the best. Ended the night with a fireside.

I had a great weekend and I am looking forward to a short work week!!!!
HAPPY MONDAY!!!!

Umm… Monday is already here. Obviously.
I had a long 4 day weekend. It was marvelous!

But because it was such a long weekend…I’ll highlight the exciting stuff…. Okay…really it’s just the stuff I remember….

-Bowling and the discovery of a new game…Butt Darts
-Stake Conference
-reading Harry Potter 7…almost half way done…almost

-Extreme joy, that tears almost came, when I saw my first bag of Dove Peppermint Bark
-Card making with Jessica...introducing her to the above pieces of chocolate heaven... and Preston time!
-Walking to Red Box at 12:30 in the morning with my brother to rent ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ and proceed to have a sleep over in my room. Fun Times!

It was a good weekend…I just wish I could fast forward to after the gym today… that would be nice!

Hope this week goes quickly in general... Harry Potter 7 midnight showing is on the schedule!!!!!

Weekedn Update

Friday – I went to Jessica’s right after work and visited and played with Preston for a few hours. We went to lunch at Olive Garden where our food was delicious. Hooray for breadsticks. {Why must they ask if you want more breadsticks…really… do people say no?} Afterwards I went home and napped. Talked to my sister for a bit on the phone. I also read the first chapter of Harry Potter 7. I need to speed things up as I am going to see the midnight showing. Watched How to Train your Dragon…seriously LOVED that movie… so cute.

Saturday – Woke up at like 9:20 and we made breakfast together as a family. Biscuits and gravy and eggs. YUM! I worked on my hair flowers got the last bit of the backs glued on and they are finished, finally. I also watched Letters to Juliet…which I thought was really cute. It was Amanda’s (Jadon’s wife) birthday Friday so we all went to lunch/dinner. So fun to be with family. I love it! I went to the state fair for the first time as well. Had so much fun and did everything that I believe was part of the first time fair experience, everything I was told to do anyways. I did this one ride that was so scary but fun… I got to the top and as we waited for the people to load on the other end I was ready to get down… but I survived and would have gone again.

{Me & Krystal and holy fried goodness...
we sampled the fried snickers, fried twinkie and fried oreo's...
fried oreo's are by far the best!} {Kayle, Me, Tashina, and Krystal....FERRIS WHEEL!}
{Tashina and I ...ready for the Ferris Wheel}
{Me...and the delicious corn dog}

Sunday – after a beautiful nap Shay came to visit… love when she comes over. Went to a CES fireside that was so good. And talked to friends for awhile. Slept horribly! It’s a short week for me. I only work 3 days as I have a holiday and then vacation day. I am so excited!!!

Saturday: not waking up to my alarm. I don’t even know what happened. But I turned it off and don’t remember. Thankfully I got a text from Jessica that woke me up. – GARAGE SALES!!! – Probably the most successful garage sale trip. I think I spent only $25, I got super nice shelves, a HUGE framed picture (gonna become a chalkboard), pillow forms, craft stuff, topiary pot things. We spent all our cash = end of garage sales. – Fresh & Easy (hello 50% off clearance on just about everything) – Dinner with Tashina (kinda owed her for staying with me a few nights while house sitting) – The Social Network (I liked the movie. A lot!) – late night talking

Sunday: My first YW lesson. It went pretty good. My girls are super good. But I felt a little unprepared when I saw another leader with ALL her stuff. Made it hard with house sitting to get stuff together… but I thought overall it went well. – Sunday Nap! – Family celebration for Shay’s birthday (later this week)! – Amazing food by my Dad – Games with the family – Packing up for house sitting – Game Night with friends – and maybe the worst night sleep ever, okay maybe not, but close. Dreaming about the time and knowing you have to wake up soon and tossing and turning. I don’t feel like I got any sleep.

Today… back to the gym… I may die… still have a cold… a nap may help…. 5 more hours and I will get one….

Happy Monday!!!!

Pretty Hilarious! *Not a good night sleep, lots of tossing and turning

But the good news is I WILL get a nap before Boot camp tonight

But its now Tuesday!

& today marks the return of Glee!

HOORAY!

Weekend Update

Friday: Started off by going to Jessica’s, catching up and chilling with Pdub. We then went to the mall to check out the Glee apparel at Macy’s. (Good stuff by the way) Made a few other stops, like you know Down East Basics. Also may have possibly gone into Claire’s... because of the Glee posters saying they had Glee merchandise….and may have made a quick walk through the store…not finding the said Glee stuff and may have loudly asked where their Glee stuff is in a voice of panic. May have happened. (no need to worry Glee merch was right in front. Don’t know how that was missed)… moving on. Helped Jessica dip her Oreo truffles. Realizing that someone, anyone should create a way to dip those things easier… I thought that Pioneer Woman could…but then realized she probably doesn’t make cake pop/Oreo truffles. Who knows. Maybe I can talk her into it. Help us figure out a solution. That night was a surprise birthday party for Natalie. She was surprised = success! Randon and Callie came in town that evening. We ate some good food. Watched The Killers (please watch it…hilarious!) and stayed up late talking (best part of their visits).

Saturday: I stupidly signed up a few days prior to take an Abs Clinic class thing at the gym as my trainer was teaching it and then agreed to take his group personal training. Yes I know. Ridiculous! Was able to talk with Callie for a while. (Loved that) After a shower and attempt at a nap I made a trip with Randon and Zach to the Apple store. Found out that I had to get the new software for my Mac in order to get the new iTunes update. And I am so so grateful Randon was here to help me. or well…here to do it for me. We then met up with the rest of the family at Chili’s which was so nice. I love being together with my family. We had so much fun. Jadon and Amanda were able to join us too. It was great. We went back home and played some games. Shay and her friend Liz came and played along. And then we all went to bed early.

Sunday: Was the first Sunday in our new ward. I think 8:00 am church is the best. The new ward is nice and I actually get to go to YSA class & relief society. Hopefully that lasts a long time. Church was followed by family lunch and more games. FACT: Sunday naps are the absolute best! Tylon and I are singing in a choir this coming weekend so we had a practice, rushed home to eat and then had to get to a Fireside, which was great. Did some socializing afterwards and then went and played games for a couple hours.

So needless to say I am tired. 3.5 hours of sleep will do that too you I guess. Mondays are the worst. Longer work day, gym, and then FHE. YAY Mondays! (*sarcasm*)

Happy Monday!!!!

Weekend Update!

PACKING & MOVING!!!!

Lots and lots of packing and moving... oh and cleaning.
But we are in the new place and most things are put away and settled thanks to my mom.

Weekend Update!

Friday – included a trip to Target. I had to get gift bags for the wedding gifts. My Mom had already packed those items before I could get to them. I got a nap, not nearly long enough. But a nap none the less. Friday evening included 2 receptions. Afterwards we (Samantha, Patrick, Jessica and P-Unit) went to Chili’s. I cut a ton of circles out of Satin for hair flowers I am making all while watching Practical Magic.

Saturday - Was crafts with Jessica and playing with Preston. Hobbly Lobby and Subway. More flowers. Glue gun burns for both of us and blisters. I have never had so many burns in one day from that blasted glue gun. Got home showered and got ready for a Fireside with Neil Anderson of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles. It was so neat. I got a lot out of his talk about having faith and taking risks. It was just neat to hear his special witness of Christ. We also got in line and shook his hand. We got a NICE rainstorm that night. Tylon and I had fun getting wet will running to the store. Not really running…we were in the car. But we still got wet. It was crazy weather! We also got all caught up on some Big Brother from the past week.

Sunday - I caught up on my sleep. But still woke up with a headache. I downed some crystal light energy with some hopes that it would help rid it, but it didnt work. We went to church. I taught my class for the last time. I am going to miss my primary class. Shaylee came over for dinner. Brownies were made. I burned some flowers and spilled some wax. It was bound to happen. And I fell asleep to Pride and Prejudice.

Saturday we got exciting news that we got approved for the house we saw last week. It all happened so fast. My Dad saw the house listing Tuesday night. Set up an appt Wednesday and took a look at the house. Good thing the owner was still there as she loved my Mom (who doesn’t) we got the application completed and in on Thursday and we heard Saturday that we got it. The house is bigger than ours now and at such an amazing deal. And even better it’s not far from where we are. It’s less than a mile away. We are in a different ward but the same stake. Next weekend is the big move. We are so excited and so so grateful!

Here is to a GREAT week!!!!
