Snow?? And other fun updates...

So I had some awkward dream about my youngest sis in law possessing people and all this weird stuff, and woke up to SNOW!! What the heck? Snow isn't supposed to be here! Anyways, it was still kind cool. Our pup Gup didn't know what to think of it lol.

So we've had a fabulous last few days! Friday we had a Hocus Pocus party and had WAY too many sweets and had our wonderful friends over. It was spur of the moment and lots of fun. Saturday was Bryn's cousin party, and we had a lot of fun too. Jaren made an amazing Edward Cullen and I dressed up as a queen bee lol. Sunday I was able to go to SLC and see one of my best friend' from Germany!! It was so fun going to temple square and catching up. Yesterday we went to the eye dr. and I found out why my eyes get all goopy...because I have some funky problem wrong with my eye! Yeah I brought it upon myself, because I kept my contacts in too long. I learned that lesson the hard way. So we ordered a year long supply of contacts and got a $100 mail in rebate - SWEET! I also applied for a job to be a receptionist there *wish me luck* . Today we have been lazy bums. Seriously, but it's been nice. Tonight we're going to get together with family, so I suppose we should make ourselves presentable. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSSI!!

Fun upcoming events: Ward Halloween party tomorrow, Thursday pumpkin carving with friends, Saturday work (we're dressing up!) and after that Halloween festivities!! Yay! Have a spooktacular Halloween.

Love, Jess

Allergic to WHAT?

Hello! So we've had quite the interesting weekend. We started it off by going to the temple Friday night, then going to Chili's with Kevin and Amy. Then Saturday we went to an Edward/ Jacob corn maze. It was SO much fun. We got lost, even with a map and it took us a good 2- 2 1/2 hours to get through it. Then Sunday we attended church, relaxed at home and watched Labryinth (one of the more interesting shows I've seen...). So that kinda sums up our weekend. 

Those of you who know me, know I'm pretty much allergic to anything with fur, and have seasonal allergies. During the summer months I'm this puffy eyed, red, runny nosed faced girl. SO attractive. Anyways, we decided to go see an allergen doctor to help knock out some of my allergies. So last week we went and did that and the result showed up Monday. My top 16 allergies consist of: sagebrush, weed mix, pollen mix, grass mix, dust mix, ragweed mix, animal dander, mineral mix (no wonder my wedding ring makes my finger break out!), animal epithelial, mold mix, tree mix, SUGAR mix, digestive enzymes, yeast mix, flower mix, and calcium mix! WHOA! Pause stop and rewind was going through my head. Might as well stick me in a bubble! 

He told me he wanted to treat me for calcium and sugar, and basically the stuff that can appear in foods first. He wanted to start with calcium, so he did this interesting treatment and told me that I need to stay away from calcium/ dairy products for 25 hours! And gave me a measly lil' paper of what I could eat. I found out like everything has calcium! Jaren and I went to the mall, and it was hopeless of finding anything, I ended up eating a large fry and drinking distilled water. Yummy :P . It seemed like I craved all the stuff I could not have, and on top of that had to work (where we make shakes!!!). I found out that Campbell's chicken noodle soup- no calcium! So I survived a whole 25 hrs. without it. After I was done, I ate a big heaping bowl of moose tracks ice cream. Crazy huh? I go in again today to knock out some of these other allergies. If he treats me for sugar, I have no idea what I'll do. I'll go on the diabetes diet I guess. 

Fun upcoming events are Bryn's Halloween party! Visiting my friend Angela who I haven't seen in 4 years, Church Halloween party, HALLOWEEN, and in November Disney Princesses on ice! Yay!

Oh Jaren went in to se why Costco hadn't called us for interviews, they're not hiring anymore. THANKS FOR THE CALL TO LET US KNOW! I will not shop there anymore...except for churros ;) . Jaren told me too bad, we didn't pay $100 for Costco cards...sigh. NEXT! Time to look for more job opportunities...

Love, Jess

My first haunted "house" erm, hallow experience...

Ok, so usually I wait a few days before I update this, BUT I experienced my first haunted house (except this was a haunted hallow). Some of you are probably thinking, yeah, um I go to those every year, but I've never been able to because of my epilepsy! We were able to talk to the people and they said there wasn't very many strobes and I wouldn't miss a lot and could skip that part, which this nice monster lead me thru a different part where the strobes wouldn't affect me.  I for sure got creeped out, and had to have Jaren push or drag me through parts of it. Seriously. I was like a lil' kid going to the dentist. It was that scary ha ha (yes, I would compare my haunted hallow experience to going to the dentist) . I did ok, jumping like every 5 minutes or so, but the we come to this one part of the trail and there's a well. Yes a well. Oh and SURPRISE! Out crawls, not just one, but 2 of the girls that look like the girl off The Ring. And MAN did they have that creepy I'm a dead girl crawling out of a well crawl down. After Jaren listened to me holler and freak out after attempting to push me through, then trying to pull me through, we finally made it to the next spot. Ok might I mention The Ring scared the crap out of me. I think for like 3 wks. after that I always had to have the TV on and jumped every time the phone ring. Those girls scared me more than the Jason guys with chainsaws and the clowns (not that clowns are scary anyways...). Anyways, I had a fantastic time! And no seizures! I hope to go back again. Maybe if I still have my long dark hair next year and get a creepy crawl down, maybe I'll audition to be one of those girls ha ha.

October happenings!

So basically, we have been having a fabulous month. This past weekend we went over to Kevin and Amy's for pizza, and then met up with more family and friends at a corn maze! the maze was pretty simple, it took us a mere 20 minutes to get through, but nonetheless, it was fun. I say their mistake their was putting the entrace 50 ft. away from the exit. Oh well, we're venturing out to a Edward/ Jacob maze this weekend yay! After our corn maze, we went with The Odenwalder's and Jordan and Katie to enjoy Amy's hot cocoa maker, and play games. 

Sunday at church, I volunteered Jaren and I to go help in the nursery with all the lil' ones! It was actually a lot of fun. The kids were so cute and made me miss my daycare job, and made me baby hungry. Soon enough though :) . Then after church we went over to the Whittington's for dinner. Yummy burladas. Basically a mix of a burrito and enchilada with chili and cheese on top. Terribly fattning, but oh so delicious. 

Monday was pretty laid back. We worked. Jaren got new tires.  OH! And we loved Amy's hot cocoa maker, we went and bought one too. I swear hot cocoa will never be the same, this thing is revolutionary ha ha. Yesterday we went back into Costco to make an appearance all gussied up, so they'll be calling us for interviews. Problem is since we're married, they might be able to only hire one of us, or try to put us in different departments. As much as I'd like another job, I'm thinking Jaren will be the likely canidate, because he can lift heavy objects. We'll see! Wish us luck! 

After Jaren went in and finished up work for Tannon, we went to the mall and had Pretzelmaker for dinner. Oh yes, we are so healthy.  I was able to buy leggings for my costume and a new jacket. Afterwards, we went and bought The Proposal. Walmart $15.99 for the first 3 days FYI. And went home and watched that and enjoyed yummy frothy hot cocoa. After Jaren was able to get our fireplace going and turned on our wedding CD and we slow danced to music. Of course, we're too silly to let the romance last for TOO long, so we'd pretend to be awkward people from church/ school dances. We've all run into those. The awkward jock. The giggly girl. The starer. The goody good. We had a lil TOO much fun, but it gave us a good laugh. 

Well I swear my mounds of grimy dishes are calling my name, along with the laundry. Tonight should be fun. Haunted Hollow! Yikes! Thursday a friend's wedding reception. Friday temple session. Saturday corn maze! 

Love, Jess

The weekend could not be more welcomed...

Well what a day. I am listening to the loud, lovely music from my wedding, "Have you ever loved a woman?" to be precise.  So last night was crap. Long day at work, and then Jaren and I got in a dumb argument. Seriously dumb, it's too embarassing to post about. Needless to say, we're over it. So I wake to lovely cramps, that by the way are 2 days early. So I thought, I'm gonna have a day for myself, and I made some malt-o-meal and relaxed in front of the tv and watched Gilmore girls. It was such a lovely, relaxing time, and then I hear this horrible singing from upstairs. Great. He's at it again. Oh for those of you who don't know my neighbor loves to sing karaoke. And sucks. And I am so not being harsh. I have no talent in singing, but at least I'm not THAT terrible. Also those who've heard my dear husband sing know what good singing is. Being the PMSing chic I am, his singing is the last thing I want to hear. And where is my ipod during this drastic time? MIA. Lovely. So my first thought was the radio, eh, not good connection down here. then I thought of church music. Jaren has a plethora of it. I mean that's not TOO mean, I'd just help him be spiritly intuned? Nope. Then the light bulb turned on and I remembered Jaren had our wedding CD in the sound system. So on it went. And along came my singing. I don't think he's taken the hint, but at least I don't have to hear him. Wow, rereading this I sound like a real......anyways. I'm PMSing don't mess with me. 

Well the weekend sounds promising! Tonight we're going to family's for my cousin's birthday.  And tomorrow we're hanging out with friends tomorrow and going to a cornmaze! Yay! Bleh. I needed to nag. I wish my husband was home. I want chocolate. I suppose I can go shower and make myself presentable. Thanks for listening to me vent. 

Love, Jess

Update!

So basically it's been awhile. Jaren and I decided to go on a random roadtrip to go see our grandparents. So off we went to Cody, WY and then to Spokane, WA. It was a blast! Cody was so pretty, and we enjoyed spending time with his grandparents. Then we headed to WA to see my grandparents, which was fun too. Sadly, their water wasn't working, so we ended up going to my aunt and uncle's to shower. Needless to say, that day didn't get started off too quick. We enjoyed our stay and did all sorts of fun stuff. The trip home was interesting. We decided to buy the 5th season of The Office to keep us busy for the 12 hour drive home. It sure killed time and made us laugh. 

Yesterday was interesting...yeah our landlord woke us up making his own separate entrance to our house. That wasn't annoying or anything, then again it was 11 a.m. lol. We also applied for jobs at Costco for the holiday season, and we went in to make an appearance. Cross your fingers we get a call back! Sad day. They're doing flu shots for $20, and we got them. And it hurts. Don't listen when they say it doesn't hurt...they sit on a throne of lies. Then we went to wally world to run errands and this gay guy, total flamer, checked out Jaren and grinned at him. Jaren was so disgusted. It was hilarious. We also saw this hispanic family with albino girls...that was cool. And we picked up our wedding pix! Yay! (those are on facebook). Oh and we bought our puppy this bumblebee costume. It's so cute. I laughed so hard when we put it on him. No wonder he doesn't like me. Oh sweet revenge. 

So there's a mini update. Not too much happening. Jaren works the rest of the week, I work tomorrow. And Saturday corn maze fun! Yay! 

Love, Jess
