Fun Stuff!

So it's been awhile since I updated, but life has been, well, fun! Last weekend we went camping with my uncle and 3 cousins, oh and Gup. We stayed in a beautiful area and went on quite the adventure of a hike the next day to see a waterfall. That Sunday we had a couple's dinner with some of our good friends. It was a blast. Can I just say George Forman grills make AWESOME burgers, or maybe my husband just has talent? ;) . And Tuesday we went on a date with Katie and Jordan to Farr's ice cream (this super old, but retro like ice cream shop), and walked around Ogden temple square.  That was our fun weekend. The last couple days haven't been anything too spectacular. I've just been home trying to find ways to occupy myself. 

Yesterday I thought I was going to die from boredom. I finished the last book in he series I was reading and was like oh great, now what? So I did some cleaning, laundry, and started knitting a baby hat (oh goodness I sound like one of those 50s housewives, huh?). Well I was listening to music while knitting and went to go watch something on youtube. And I came across this make up artist named Kandee Johnson, and she shows some awesome ideas! It wasn't the most productive thing I could do, but I learned how to do some hot make up ideas, thus, putting on my make up for my hubby. When Jaren came home he loved my make up and complemented me (see they're worth a look ladies!), he also surprised me with my favorite candy: a chocolate covered honeycomb candy. Not just a candybar, but a big hunk of it, a lil bag full of it, and one of the rare candybars.  It was awesome, and you can probably guess what my breakfast consisted of ;) . 

Tomorrow we set out on a new adventure; a roadtrip to Kodey? Wyoming to see Jaren's grandparents, then up to Spokane to see my family. We're excited and will probably have some fun stories to come. That's all for now!

Blessings in abundance!

Ok, so it's been awhile, but wow these last couple days have been awesome. My husband and I celebrated our 1 month anniversary. Since Jaren wasn't feeling good, we went around historic 25th street and to the cafe where we had our first date. While we're there, we decided to check out a pawn shop. Normally I'd steer clear of those places assuming "eh junk", but we went in. Long story short we got 3 DVDs for $5! SWEET! And no scratches.

 And yesterday was just pure awesomeness. My wonderful Aunt Kathy knew Jaren and I had been sick so she brought us not just homemade chicken noodle soup, but rolls, cheesecake and gingerale! Since I worked day yesterday, it was nice not to have to make dinner, and kudos to my sis Jossi for helping get to work! Another wee trial we've been facing is I've been running out of a certain medication. neither one of our jobs has benefits, and we don't have the $$$ to go to the doctor for a refill. Someone must've been watching over me, because a man I knew at my old church in Germany, lives here and was able to help me out. And we'd checked prices for the meds and it was $68! Luckily we found it at Target for $20. 

Oh we're also able to get our bridal/ groomal pix. And sneak peek at our wedding pictures! ( I'd post them on here, but that'd taking know how to actually do it...check 'em out on facebook). Everything seems too good to be true, and we're grateful for all the lil' blessings that've come our way.

A wonderful start to the weekend...

Have I mentioned I have the most amazing husband EVER? So yesterday, I was just patiently waiting for Jaren to come home, and he's kinda hiding behind the door. So I went up there and he had this BEAUTIFUL big bouquet of flowers, oh and brownie bites :) . Today, exception of us being sick, has been wonderful. We met new neighbors, went to yard sales ( with no success), went to Desert Book and rented a movie. While at Desert Book we bought the cd, " What We Wish We Knew When We're Newlyweds". So far it's been enjoyable and funny. We came back, watched, "Labor Pains", kinda different, but it nice to snuggle. Afterwards we cuddled while reading our new books. I wish things could be better for poor Jaren, he's miserably sick with a cold :( . For the rest of the night, we'll probably just be homebodies, exception of going to the store to get more kleenex and cold meds. Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Getting better?

Lame. Lame. LAME. I'm slowly, but surely getting better. Just enough to have a tad bit of energy, but not enough ambition to walk anywhere (like the mall, which would be a good 30 - 45 min. walk). I'm tired of being home and being sick. I kind of want to watch a movie, but that's no fun by yourself! Ok I'm just being whiney, but ya know ;) . I have done 1 thing today - I unblocked my debit card. Stupid itunes blocked, and after a good 12 minutes they figured out what was wrong. BAM! one phone call to change the day. My uncle, Dustin, is coming over to hang out with me, and bringing lunch - yay! I should probably do something productive, so when Jaren gets home he's not doing the dishes and laundry. That would make him happy. I felt bad last night, i looked/ felt like death and Jaren had a good 10 hr. day and had to come home and do housework. on top of me being sick, our dumb dog decided to eat our landlord's dog's dog food and had diarrhea and was puking all over. Lovely huh? So not only did Jaren have to take care of a sick wife, he had a sick dog to take care of too. Did I mention I have the best husband in the world lol? Well as you can see, my life is oh so exciting. So before I bore ya more, I'm gonna end it here. Love, peace and chicken grease.

Not awkward at all...

Ok. What a start to the day. I slept terribly waking up every few hours, and was bummed to realize my husband works a long shift today. Well the morning started out fine despite my freak cold I got. In the mornings I like to just lounge in my garments/ underwear and this silky robe I got. Well as some of you know, we have a basement apartment and our landlord is some single guy upstairs. So I decided to call my mom to kill time, and our puppy runs upstairs as our landlord lets his dog out. Ok, note we have no blocking from the downstairs to his place...yet. And I'm trying to hide behind the wall so he won't see me. Major fail. Needless to say, I put on Jaren's b-ball shorts and a shirt very quickly. So I take my dog out, and his dog is out there, and is mean. Our dog, Gup is just wanting to play, and this other dog wants to fight. Well Gup won't listen to me when I call him, so here I am *sniffle* GUP! GET IN HERE! *sniffle* Meanwhile he's looking at me like I'm just retarded. So hopefully this cold gets over soon, and my stupid do will stop testing me (as he sits at the top of the stairs, looking at me like, "try me. see what happens.") I can't write much today 'cuz I feel like crap! Lesson learned, do not attempt to lounge around in just a robe and "g's" , with a rambunctious puppy and an awkward neighbor.
