The second day...

So basically when Jaren left yesterday for work, I was like bleh. The ambitious go get 'em wife was so not there. So here I was laying in bed texting my bff Amy (she was home because she had surgery the day before). Realizing we're both stuck home and bored, Amy asked me if I wanted to go to the mall! SWEET! I was all excited and then I'm like, omg I can't just leave without laundry and dishes being done! So I hurried and got ready, and by some fortunate event Amy had to stop by her hubby's work, so I got everything done :) . Shopping was wonderful, more like window shopping, but it was still fun to get out and visit. Afterwards we went over to her house and watched Single's Ward.

  After the movie Jaren would be home soon, so we headed back to my house, only to realize I was locked out. Amy and I both looked for way to get in, when she spotted my landlord's window was creaked open. Thank goodness he was not home and does not have a screen, I grabbed some of his building/ tool equipment and climbed up into his house and into mine ( oh yeah, I guess it would be easier if he was home, then I wouldn't be breaking into his house. Oh might I mention we have a basement apartment). 

Around 5:00 Jaren got home and we got ready to go work at Jake's. Poor guy had already worked an 8 hour day and was headed for another 7 hours. Work was awesome though, it seemed like a family affair. There was my husband, my sis-in-law Bryn, and my bro-in-law Tannon, and me (well that were family). And then we had another fun girl, Cindy working. The night went pretty fast and I made up a new shake! Fresh peach cobbler. If it was not amazing, I don't know what is lol ;) . 

Today Jaren had to go in, AGAIN, to go work on lawns. It's only for a few hours, but man! Sometimes I just wanna tell those rich people he's doing landscaping for to get off their designer jean butts and try mowing their own lawns, he has a family too! Guess I can't really complain, they're paying him to take care of their lawn. After that we're going to pick up our puppy, Guppy, from his babysitter's. And headed to a BBQ @ my uncle's house to visit out of town fam. I'll keep ya updated! 

Love Jess 

Housewife in training...

Well, now real life begins. The wedding is over. The honeymoon came and went. And yep, the role of the housewife thus begins. Typically this would be fine, ya know running errands and going shopping on your days off from work, but I have no car. And even if I did, I still couldn't run around on the account I don't have my license! (due to epilepsy factors). 

I actually survived my first day though and was quite proud of myself! Won't lie I was a lil' mopey when my husband, Jaren, left @ 8:30 am. I tried to pull the whole big, bug eyes and sad lil' "don't leave me" voice. Buuut that failed ha ha. What can ya do? $$$ = food/pay bills. So not knowing what to do with myself or where to start (boxes and gift bags were EVERYWHERE!), I got on facebook on Jaren's iPhone. My friend Sara posted wedding pics online and I loved them; what upset me was my beautiful $800 wedding dress was in the next room COVERED in chocolate sauce from our "get-away car". I decided I couldn't just let it sit there! So I jumped into action and got a cold wash rag and went to work. Almost 2 hours later, I succeeded in getting out almost all the chocolate, exception of some of the threads. 

For whatever reason, that drained all my energy. So what did I do? Played tetris on the iPhone. Note: we still don't have a tv and I didn't have my laptop. After I realized I still wasn't going to beat level 6, I decided I needed to be doing something um, useful. So I started on the living room. I cleaned it up and put on our new couch cover. By now I was on a roll and cleared our table and started on the kitchen. Oh yeah I even hand washed the dishes ( when my dad heard this he said had a heart attack and died, psh what would make his think that?! ;) ) . I also started laundry. 

It was great when Bryn and my niece and nephews came over to visit later on! Bryn helped me put up pix and took me to develop pix for our frames we got. Noticing it was around 5:30ish I was becoming antsy and wanted to get home so I could start dinner. I was so excited Jaren was going to be home soon, I wanted to surprise him with homemade choc-chip cookies! I was just getting through the second batch of cookies when Jaren said he'd be home in 2 hours. 2 HOURS! I thought I was gonna die, but proceeded with my cookie mess. 

What seemed like an eternity later, Jaren came home. I was So excited to see him! I had a fresh plate of cookies, dinner on the stove, and a clean house. Ya know on those old 50's movies where the husband gleefully opens the door and shouts, HONEY! I'm home! And has a big ol' smile on his face and runs to his wife and sweeps her up and kisses her? Well, mine was complete opposite. My poor hubby instead, came down gave me the biggest smile he could (after working 12+ hours landscaping) and gave me a kiss and he then proceeded to the shower. Afterwards, we enjoyed dinner and each other's company. Then out of no where, I become all sensitive and say, "didn't you notice all my hard work? I've been doing this all day?" He had noticed, but he was so exhausted he couldn't show his appreciation. After getting over my butthurt feelings (which didn't last long), we ended up in a fight...a good fight though, a tickle fight! And because he was so tied, I won. Yep, it was awesome. Later we headed to bed. So overall it was a good day. Not seeing Jaren for so long sucked, but what can ya do? 

Today is my 2nd day home by myself. Hopefully I can be as productive as last time!
