top ten

I've been tagged with the "top ten" things you can't live without..
1. Skyler- Oh my goodness i don't know what i would do or where i would be without him. He means so much to me. He keeps me warm when i am cold and ALWAYS knows how to make me laugh. I can't have a bad day with him by my side, and i love him more than anything...and i know that love will only grow stronger.
2. family and friends- The ones that have been there for me through EVERYTHING and the constant in my life. The ones i know would drop anything to be there for e time after time, and life just wouldn't be the same without them.

3. being warm- The winter is here and i am having to bundle up. It really reminds e everyday of how much i love the sun and to be warm. I would be OK if our house was 100 degrees all day long, I LOVE the heat and i am SO grateful for heaters!!
4. Snacks- I am such a snacker. I know this is probably a real bad habit but i love it. I come home from work at night and just want to snack. I go grocery shopping and the cart is full of just snacks. If i don't have snacks i just crave them, i couldn't live without snacking!!
5. Children- i LOVE kids, i love babies, toddlers, i love em' all. I love to baby-sit and just the atmosphere of kids. They make me so happy to be around and i love the cute innocence about them.
6. The internet- I love my internet, i love to online shop [because there is NO legit malls around here] i love to e-mail, blog, stalk peoples blogs, facebook, catch up on my celebrity gossip...ect. It such a nice way to keep in contact for someone who hates to talk on the phone like me!!
7. Saturdays- Even as a kid saturday has always been the day i look forward to all week, as a kid my dad ALWAYS did something with us on saturdays whether it was a movie, shopping, theme park, lunch or whatever he always spent that day with us and i always looked forward to it. I look back now and see how much of a sacrifice it probably was, i am busy busy all week and by saturday i just want to be lazy, it is my day to just relax and be with my husband. I could not make it through my week without my saturdays!
8. The gospel- I am so grateful to be able to go to church everyweek and have my testimony strengthened. I am so LUCKY to have a temple in my town to be reminded everyday of the covenants i have made. I am so thankful to have a husband who teaches me so much each day about this gospel, and without it i have no idea where i would be.
9. Traveling- Living in the middle or NOwhere Idaho to get anywhere i have to travel. I have spent much time traveling whether it is back home to see my family, Texas to see Skyler's, Southern California to see the Hazen's, Utah to see some of my best friends, or just traveling for a vacation i love it. I need it to keep me sane and to have a break from life up here and the day-to-day routine.
10. There is a tie between chapstick and reality TV- Yes i could probably live without both of them but i love them both. I have an addiction to strawberry chapstick and probably have about 9 different tubes of it scattered everwhere [the car, purse, backpack, bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, my pockets..ect] But i also live for my reality TV shows. i got this from my faimly, i always have to have a show i am completely obsessed with and i spend ALL week waiting for the nights that "my shows" come on.

I TAG: My mom, Candy, Jeffrey and anyone else who would like!

da-da-did

Today while at work at the elementary school, i was helping a boy do his homework...

boy: why do you say da-da-did? [referring to my stutter]

me: That's just the way i talk

boy: looking very confused...why? i don't know anyone else who talks like that

me: I don't know why i do it, it is just the way i have always talked

boy:oh, does your mom talk that way too?

me: No, just me

boy: OHHHHHH I get it, like mexico. They talk different too!

making momma proud

Lately Skyler and I have been on a cooking kick. Which sounds normal to many but with our schedules [he is working 2-10pm...no fun] we tend to just run by and get fast food for many meals. We were looking at our bank account and started to feel a bit pathetic when 7 purchases in a row is for some type of food restraunt. So we have been trying to cook a lot more and try out some new recipes. This has actually been really fun for me and in the long run it saves $ AND we have leftovers...so it lasts longer too!! The other night i attempted to make my mom's famous "wedding chicken" It had it's differences [i was missing a few ingredients] but it actually turned out real good. I was SO PROUD!! I am sure this post makes me sound like a bad wife, but sometimes fast food is just waaaaay too easy to pass up!!

random ramlings

First off the M on my keyboard is broken, so if any words are randomly missing an M that is why, i try to catch it, but i' kinda bad at it.

I haven't blogged forever and i feel like i have nothing to blog about. My mind has been going 100000 iles per hour lately so i thought i would ramble.First off i got a new job, I am the after school program instructor at an elementary school in town [lyman elementary] so far, so good. I LOVE IT, i miss being around kids SO much when i am up here so it is heaven for me...even if the kids are all wild and the boys have "crushes" and it is ALL you here about. Through this process i have lost my name, i am now referred to as TEACHER.With this new job, i did NOT quit my other job. YES i am working 2 jobs. I am now at progrexion 6-10 at night and the elementary school till 5. How i do y homework...i really have NO clue but i am getting it done!

Speaking of school...I have the CRAZIEST teacher who will not pass us on a test with anything lower than an 86 percent, and everytime you take the test your grade goes down, and the questions are different everytime. SO if you take it 3 times and finally get say an 88 you still only get a c on the test...this is stressful!!

With all of this i have found myself running on these...Monster energy drinks, i'm addicted and with my schedule, i have no time to break it.

On a better note My family came this weekend and we had a ton of fun, they always take care of us!! Skyler is being sweet, sweet, sweet to me and we couldn't be happpier!!
