I am definitely not the best blogger on the block. I get so bored at work, you would think that I could take a few minutes out of my incredibly busy days and write something..I just don't always have stuff to write..I find myself repeating stories...thank you dad for that trait. Life is just kinda in the same routine right now. Wake up early, go to school, go to work, come home, eat, go back to school. Repeat. Same thing all the time..very exciting.
We did mix it up a little last week and went ballroom dancing with group of couples from our ward. It was alot of fun, and I don't think Tim hated it as bad as he thought he was going to. It was cheap, close, something I've always wanted to do, and the teacher was simple and nice. The only disadvantage was the full size mirrors, reminding me everytime I look into them that I should use my gym membership more than I do..I'm getting better in the gym department though. The thing with working out and staying in shape is finding the time to do it. When I finally get off work, there is always dinner to be made, a 10 year old little girl waiting by the door for me to tell me about some dramatic thing that happened that day, a dog who all but mauls me everytime I walk in the door...and of course the cleaning, laundry, homework..all the REALLY fun life sucking day to day chores that need to be done. Going to work out is just another thing to add to my list..but I know I NEED to do it. It really does make me feel so much better, its just getting myself off my butt and out the door. From that point forward, its all good.

I've decided I need a vacation. Ok, so need is pushing it, but I definately WANT a vacation. The last vacation we really went on was our honeymoon. It was nice, but we were worried about what was going on the whole time...we had a very short honeymoon phase..to much family stuff going on. I suppose we did go to California in December..I forget about things sometimes. I swear I'm getting more and more forgetful lately. I write EVERYTHING down, and somehow I still manage to forget to look at my planner, Its a vicious cycle of forgetfulness that I just can't seem to break. I even forget what I am writing. ooo goodness. Back to the Vacation thing, Everything just costs money. I can't seem to justify spending money right now. My mind thinks that other things are more important...like school, paying off the car, savings. You know, things that take some responsibility. One day I will be in a tropical place, soaking up the sun getting some sort of my tan back, and just being incredibly lazy...ahh...soon....

Long Time....No Post

For Tim's birthday (In January, horrible i know) my dad gave him some awesome tickets for the Jazz game against the Mavericks ( on Feb 5...once again, sorry for the lateness). They were AMAZING seats..row one, seat 14 and 15. If you look real close...you can see they were $452.00...A PEICE!! Why anyone would pay that much still kills me, I can't even comprehend how many clothes I could get with that money, or house decorations...or STUFF!
It was a ton of fun. We were right behind Mark Cuban (the owner of the Mavs, I know nothing about him except he is the owner and VERY rich.) and here is his face.The Jazz bear was crazy, he sled down one of the isles on a sled into the arena, did a hand stand on top of 30ft ladder, he's crazy.
It's been a crazy month already. We've had everything from Birthdays, to baby showers, to flu, tests in every class falling all at the same time, and TONS of snow. Our Tress are looking like crap and I am definately not looking forward to spring clean up this year. One of our big trees in the back yard snapped at the base and a third of the tree broke a whole in the fence. Luckily it didnt hit any of the posts, just the panels, they are alot cheaper. The lilacs are super smooshed, the tree in the front yard has lost about half of its branches due to snapping also...love the snow but hate it oh so bad all at the same time.

This is the best picture i could get of some of the damage without tracking through 3 feet of snow. yuck.
Also, not the best picture, but they all used to be standing up strait...now they are smashed into the ground:(
And this is what our front walkway looks like...its calling for me to make a snow cave..now if I can just find the time to do it...

It was also mom's birthday this last week. We went to Texas Roadhouse, my family loves that place for some reason. She told the waiter that she wasnt going to get on the sadle for any reason so not to even waste his time bringing it over...but we talked him into it and we had everyone watching. I got it on video, but I dont know how to post it. Hopefully I can, becuase she was pretty embarassed.. hehe love you mom:)
Mert, Papa, mom and dad
Mom is saying "you are so in trouble right now you twit"...If looks could kill, this one would do the trick.
