What I Love...Day 25, 2011

I love...

that this school day is over. 

I Loathe You Flu!

I'm getting to that point where it's difficult to come up with things I love.

Maybe it's because I'm sick and not loving anything (why can't my students just be perfect little angels when I'm sick...seriously guys.  I'd be nice to you if you were sick...that's all I'm saying.  Be nicer to me right now).

I for real slept like I was dead the other day.  It was glorious but then I had to wake up.  Dang responsibilities. 

What I Love...Day 24, 2011

I love...

that Husband isn't nearly as attached to his clothes as I am.  Good thing because I will probably ruin many more shirts.

What I Love...Day 23, 2011

I love...

Ryan.  Happy birthday!

Look at him ladies.  He's smoldering and single.  Comment if you want me to hook you up.

There are so many reasons why I love Ryan.  Here are just a few:

1. He helps keep my mind occupied when someone's driving is about to kill me.

Scared for our lives while driving to St. George.

2. He has good ideas.

How you have to stand in the rest stop bathroom so you don't get any bodily fluids on your clean socks...instead of wearing shoes.

3. He never says no to me.

The Trifecta glittered their toes.  I asked Ryan if I could do his...what do you think he said?

 4. He's got some sweet dance moves.

 5. He's got mad hops.

 6. He's only tried to murder me once with an ax (kidding....it was 3 times).

 7. He laughs really hard at my jokes (that's probably not why he's laughing in this picture but I'm saying it is).

8. He's really good at imitating art.

9. He looks super hot and smart in glasses.

 10. He sometimes ruins perfectly good pictures.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

11.  He has funny stories from work. 

If you ever run into Ryan, ask him how he burned all the hair off his arm.

 12.  He thinks it's funny to bite me.

At least that lady in the back was enjoying it.

 And last, but not least,

13. He is an excellent friend, amazing cook, good kisser (not that I know, I've just heard stories), funny, smart, honors his priesthood, is the life of the party, wears nice clothes, likes and reads my blog...I could go on but I'll stop.

Right to left:  Good friend, crazy smile me, butt head who can't think of anything better than bunny ears.

He truly is an amazing person and I'm grateful to know him.

Hope this is the greatest birthday ever, Ryan!

Sometimes I'm a Bad Wife

I'm off-track until Monday.  Since we got home from Denver, I've been trying to be a good wife (read as all I've done is house-wifey things...grocery shopping, vacuuming, washing dishes, organizing and laundry...that dreaded laundry.  If you remember, sometimes I have issues with laundry.  Here and here).

So here I am, doing laundry and going about other stay-at-home-mom (minus the kids) duties.  I had a load in the washer that was almost done.  I brought my next load into the laundry room and set the load on top of the washer.  I did some more dishes.  The washer dings.  Take the load out, place it in the dryer.  Grab next load...OH. MY. GOODNESS.  Bleach stains.  All over two of my husband's (I think I'll use that instead of his name for a while.  I really like that.  Husband.  Husbandhusbandhusband!  Tangent.  Sorry.) shirts.  Ugh.  And they were really nice shirts.  I almost cried.  I'm a bit emotional.

So I used the Target gift card I received for Christmas to go buy him some replacements.  A replacement for the blue shirt was a no go.  I think I'll get some Rit die and try to make it look somewhat presentable.

But the button ups.  Score at the Target!  Major clearance.  3 shirts for $14.94.  Go team.  I felt pretty good about that purchase.  I wish I could find awesome things for me at that price...beside my super cute red shoes.

Turns out he really likes the new shirts but was not nearly as upset about the mishap as I was.  Who has a fantastic husband?  Oh, that's right.  I do.

Between Sisters

I had this text conversation with Court yesterday:

Court: Well he suggested it (making out) the other day, so I'm doing it!  No battle.  But in actuality I really won't.
Me: I know you won't really.  You're not that kind of person.
Court: Old Court J wasn't that person.  February Court J is!
Me: Oh.  What changed?
Court: Jessie K. liberated me and told me I should be skanky* while I can.
Me: LOL.  That's funny.  Well live it up but not too skanky.  You still want to take the sacrament :)
Court: Oh yes, never too skanky.  That makes me uncomfortable!
Me: Mormon skanky it is then.  Have fun :)
Court: Mormon skanky.  I like that!

**The term 'skanky' is used very loosely with Court and me.  By saying skanky we really mean kissing more boys...AND THAT'S IT.  Don't get the wrong idea about Court or the church.**

What I Love...Day 22, 2011

I love...

Saturdays...and any day off really.  It's lovely to just stay in bed knowing that you don't have to do anything at that moment.  Ahhh...glorious days

What I Love...Day 21, 2011

I love...

water heaters.  It is freeeeeeeeezing and I'm just happy that my shower was warm.  Warm verging on scalding water rocks my socks off.  End of story.

Sometimes I Text Myself

so I can remember things.

Here is a text I reread from myself:

"How pregnant is she?"
"She's due in March."
"Oh, yeah.  She can get punched."

Not so sure how this conversation started or why we are talking about punching pregnant ladies (which I do not condone.) but it's funny to read.

Giddy Wedding

I'm still waiting on the pictures from my wedding but here's one Court took that I loved.  (You can read her take on the day here.  I promise I'll get around to writing everything soon.  Probably when there are pictures.)

Not entirely sure what I'm doing but I think it captures my emotion from the day very well.  I was downright giddy.

What I Love...Day 20, 2011

I love...

the Trifecta Temple Tour 2011. 

Get ready, it's going to be epic.

What I Love...Day 19, 2011

I love...

being home.

Denver was fun but it was way too cold for me (think negatives people).  I'm happy to be back in my house with my husband (I really like the sound of that).

What I Love...Day 18, 2011

I love...

Rust-Oleum ColorShft spray paint.  It's the most amazing spray of my life.

For the wedding decor, we bought cheap-o frames at the dollar store then sprayed the crap out of them with the green version of this paint.  I L-O-V-E how they turned out.

Maybe one day when I get my house put back together, I'll have a picture of the frames but until then just believe me.  This stuff is awesome.
