SV

Last weekend I had a nice little getaway to SV to see my parentals + fam.

I also got to see my old roomies from college, and many familiar faces and friends at a bridal shower!

I'm so thankful for the MUCH needed time off of work.  I've been drowning in Mother's Day orders from my family tree shop this month and really needed the break. 

My mom & I got pedicures Monday which was a lovely time. 

(lovely while trying to ignore the fact that a strange Asian man is rubbing your sausages)

When I got back home Clay counted his tip money and felt like a baller (pictured above).  So he took us out for ice cream. This ice cream date turned into an extravaganza.  I got a waffle cone at Mrs. Fields, but soon after he decided he should get us some Arby's roast beef sandwiches {which I would never turn down}.  After Arby's, Clay still had a sweet tooth so he insisted that we go to a little frozen yogurt shop nearby.  I agreed, only because there was a Nico's Taco Shop right next to the frozen yogurt place.  So, a massive bowl of 5 different yogurts, and a shredded beef taco later, we were fully satisfied.

The only downfall of the weekend was when we went to go get gas we ran over an enormous screw.  In the past 6 months we've had 5 flat tires, a stolen truck, and a broken car window naturally followed by a stolen ipod. We officially welcome flat tires and thieves.

Happy Easters

The day before Easter Kacie got to have a sleepover with me at our apartment.  We went shopping, got McDonalds, painted nails and watched Cheaper by the Dozen. It was lots of fun!  Clay had to work until midnight so I didn't have be be lonely at home for a change. 

On Easter morning, the Easter Bunny left Kacie a note that her basket was waiting for her in Sierra Vista.  What a thoughtful bunny. 

After Church we headed to SV for a fiest of Ham & potatoes. YUM!  It was good to be home.

Kanka!

So this week has not been tons-o-fun in my mouth.  I never got my wisdom teeth pulled because my dentists have told me in the past that I have enough room for them.  But this week has been miserable!  My mouth is constantly throbbing and one of my wisdom teeth is sticking out so it cut the inside of my cheek, and now there is a canker sore there so my tooth just pokes it all day long... pure misery! I've probably ODed on ibeprofen. 

I got home from work last night (while Clay was still at work) and he called to tell me I need to go to the store and get some Kanka (canker sore life saver!) and meds for myself. I told him I would rather be miserable than go to the store because I was so tired.

When I got home from work today the house was spotless, everything cleaned & vaccummed with this on the counter: 

I love him! 

and i think it's time to get some teeth pulled :(

twenty three

Remember how Clay doesn't like cake?

Here's the bday boy blowing out his cinnamon roll candles.

Trying to take a Sunday nap...

FAIL.

We had a pretty eventful weekend.

• We actually exercised (my buns are killing me!).  
• Went to a BBQ
• Made a quick trip to see my family while Clay hung with a friend.  
• My dad charged the freon in our car. We now enjoy ice cold AC!
• My bff Ashlee came to Tucson for a visit after church. 

       YaY !

So I did not prepare for Valentines day this year. We have no super cool plans, no decroations, and both of us have to work.  This is so lame because I happen to LOVE Valentines day and the whole concept of it. Creating a holiday just for love is pretty awesome!

I have no idea what to get Clay for this lovely holiday.  I should probably go to the store and get him something right about now... Although he is one lucky man who gets to go watch The Vow with me when he gets off work tomorrow. I'm sure there's nothing he wants more than to get home from a long day at work and watch a chick flick starring Channing Tatum. You're welcome Clay, you're welcome.

Giveaway

Hello friends,

~(:-D)->---<|

Our life has been going so good lately.  I'm probably evil for thinking this, but when my life is going perfect I sometimes wonder if something horrible is going to happen soon. Haha, hopefully this isn't true. But i'll keep you updated if our car explodes or something.

So since we've moved we've decorated, hung out a lot with our friends Robert & Katie , bought a car, cooked a lot of bacon, laughed a lot, gone on french fry and ice cream sprees, got hooked on 5+ TV shows, and have stayed up irresponsibly late. Sounds like a pretty dreamy life, doesn't it? We're really enjoying ourselves.

Or maybe only I am enjoying myself.
(Poor clay got off work at 11pm last night, stayed up past 3:30 am doing homework, and then woke up at 7 to get ready for school.  I'm now feeling guilty because I didn't have to work today and I slept in... and have done nothing all day. Gah, I'm going to go clean now. But I am proud of my hard working husband.)

Anywho, the point is: I am happy. 

yee haw

we moved! and we love our new place.  We basically had everything unpacked in one day (because I was so excited). We bought a new couch for our living room and hung decor. It's been a fun week. 

fatty

so my new years resolution is what everyone else's in the universe is: to be healthier.

Everyday I say, "okay... TODAY IS THE DAY".  But crappy stuff happens... like I'm running late for work so I missed breakfast, and right when I get in someone has a box of fresh doughnuts from the bakery in my face.  And then I get to the breakroom and there are more doughnuts + candy and oreos. I come home and look in my cabinets. I remember how badly I need to go grocery shopping because all we have is macaroni, dehydrated mashed potatoes and frozen french fries & burritos. (really nice... I'm a great wife can't you tell?) So clay comes home and surprises me with pizza. 

what the #%@! i'm hopeless. 

My true goal is to start after we move. I've been putting off shopping for that reason... because who wants to pack up a full fridge/pantry?.  . . gaah. We'll see. I guess we're eating potatoes AND french fries for dinner.
