Cody's hillarious "butter" story!!

So today i decided to visit Cody on break, and the funniest thing happened!

But first i have to explain something. Before this week, cody has always packed his own lunch (which consists of a hot pocket and a yogurt). well i have been cooking alot this week since ive been home recovering from surgery! So on monday night for dinner i made soup, well there were quite a bit of leftovers so cody put them in a "cool whip" container. Well this week ive been packing his lunch for him and putting it in a plastic bag, well last night i forgot to pack him one for today, so he did it himself this morning!

ok, so now back to his break, well we went into the break room, he pulled out his bag, and while he pulled it out, he jokingly said, "look babe i brought butter for lunch!!!!" well right when he pulled the tub of butter out, i immediately thought, wait i think that is the butter becuase ive never bought a BIG tub of butter before. So then he opened it, and come to find out, it was the tub of butter be packed for lunch. We immediately became hysterical in laughter. It was the funniest thing to end my 2009 year!

new hair!!!!

So I figured that since im going into cosmetology for school, that i should look good, that includes getting my hair colored! well since Cody already got all my christmas presents, i asked my mom if she can pay to get my hair colored! well she agreed, and i got it colored on monday, i hope u like it! I put red, blonde, and black in it! I put just black on the bottom, then all throughout the rest of my hair, i put red black and blonde highlights! and i also trimmed my bangs again, cause they grew 2inches in 4months, crazy! thats too fast for me! all in all, i really like it!! Thanks Hailey!! i recommend everyone go to her, she is the best, I've gone to her for (i think) 4years! For those of you that have seen our wedding pictures, Hailey is the one that colored my hair, but also curled it for my big day! And the best part of getting my hair colored was getting to play with her cute daughter while the color was processing!!
This is a picture of me while the color was processing, lets just say i got really good cell phone reception becuase of the foils!!! LOL hahahahaha
This is a picture to show you the black on the bottom, it shows really good when its in a ponytail!

this is a picture of the back of my head, before i colored it!

This is not a very good picture! but this is the back of my hair, wet, after i colored it!

this is the top of my head before i colored it

and this is a picture after i colored it!

this is just a afterwards shot!

and this is after!

I hope u enjoyed!

Cody picks up crunchberries with tounge!!-----Pretty hillarious!!

So cody has a extra-long tounge, and its pointy like a lizards tounge! Anyways, being a sunday night, we cant go do anything so we like to entertain ourselves with weird things. Well tonight we were eating crunchberries out of the bag and cody decided to start eating them with his tounge. I thought it was hillarious and decided to try to attempt my first video from his phone. Well if you ask me, i think it turned out pretty good! i think its hillarious. We counted about 23-25 crunchberries he picked up with his tounge and ate. I hope u enjoy!

our BIG decision!!!

Ok, so to start things off. For those of you that didnt know, me and cody really want to have kids and start our own cute family! well we have been trying for almost 2 years, and, no success! Well i havent given up hope! We've prayed, we've gone to the temple and prayed. And i think we got our answer.

So when the doctor put me on Clomid, I'm supposed to start it on the third day of my period, well thats today. But for the last few days, getting on Birth Control, has been on my mind. I mean, whether we should get on it or not. Well we decided it might be a good idea. So I called the doctors office and asked them what i need to do to get some birth control. Well she said she has some samples of 2 defferent kinds. My immediate thought was, i dont know if i can do the pill again cause i dont remember to take them everyday. So the 2 different kinds she had were, the pill, and the nuvaring. Well we decided on the nuvaring!

We went on Birth Control for a couple of reasons! One is, to regulate my period. The other is, I'm starting school in the spring, and its only 3 semesters(spring, fall, and the next spring).
well when we have kids, i wanna nurse them as long as i can, and me and cody already decided that i will be a full time mom! So if we got pregnant soon, i would have a kid right in the middle of my schooling, and I wouldnt be able to nurse or pump that often, as i would like. So we decided to start trying for kids this time next year! Well, thats our big news!..... We r going on Birth Control! its a bitter-sweet decision for me, but i feel it is right, and i always follow these feelings! cause the Lord always knows!

2 year anniversary!!!

To start off the day! Befor dinner, i snuck to the black swan and decorated our room! i put rose pedals on the floor, imade trails from the doorway to the bed, then from the bed to the fireplace where i had a cute little setup, then i put rose pedals ont the bed. We had dinner at texas roadhouse at 6, than made our way to the Black swan inn for our anniversary night, Cody loved the suprise. then in the morning of the 6th, we went to perkins for breakfast.(ok so it was more like lunch for us, cause we ate at 12:30, but we had breakfast items) It was an awesome night, one i will never forget. I love my husband and im glad i have shared 2 wonderful years with my best friend. I love you Cody!! There is more to our day but i just shared the most important parts, if you want to know the rest just ask k, take care! love ya all.


This is the room we stayed in! ARABIAN NIGHTS!!!!

all in all, it was the best anniversary ever!!!

Life

So latelyI've had alot on my mind that i wonder WHY?, and don't know the answer to, and if you dont mind ill share some with you. First of all, why do we have trials? They r not my favorite thing. I've learned, Heavenly father gives us trials for a reason! For instance, school for me. Ive been graduated from highschool for 5 years now.(3years since i acutally got my diploma) And i have finally decided its time for me to go back, because i dont wanna do McDonalds all my life. Well I got everything done that i needed to do before school started in August, well i keep getting little letters in the mail telling me, "one more thing befor you're accepted", and I'm like what the. i'm getting frustrated. So im thinking, why, why me?............ well I'm sure He will let me know why sooner or later. Maybe he is telling me that McDonalds is where i need to be right now and possibly forever, if thats the case fine, no one knows me better then he does.
Second thing is, i REALLY don't understand why we r not pregnant yet, why cant he just send us a little letter saying, "this day and this is the date when u will get pregnant," type thing ya know, but the "TRIAL" is that we have been trying for almost 2 years and no success. And then there r soooo many people i know that get pregnant that either, were on birth control, or just got married, and in my opinion, aren't in the right time to be having kids. And half of them didnt wnat to have kids. and then again there r people like us who really really really want to have kids and r trying but cant or dont know why yet.
so far thats all right now. Well to keep myself from getting depressed, like i was last sunday, i just keep trying to tell myself, EVERYTHING happens for a reason. One of my favorite quotes is:
I NEVER SAID IT WOULD BE EASY, I ONLY SAID IT WOULD BE WORTH IT!!!
So now when i get feeeling frustrated, or sad, or depressed, or whatever, i think of that quote and i also start thinking of hymns. I am really glad to be a member of the church. I love my life, and i AM thankful for trials, eventhough i dont like them, cause i know they have strengthen me. thanks for reading this. Love ya all

Pie eating contest

so on saturday the 15th, i went to the fair grounds and did the pie eating contest with a friend from work. It was way fun, we both did pretty good. The pie was chocolate cream pie, it was disgusting, because i dont like chocolate. But it still was fun.

update on car burglary

so it has been almost 4 weeks since our car got broken into. Heres a little of what has happened so far, last monday, cody finally got ahold of the detective for the first time and he gave him all the stores addresses and all the phone numbers that the robbers called from my phone. and he said he will get back to us, well it has been a week now. UGH he has taken for ever with this whole thing. Anyways, well on the 4th(the day after we got robbed) i noticed that my scriptures werent in the car, then i thought maybe i actually brought them in the house, well i looked and they were no where to be found. So we have came to a conclusion, that the robbers took my scriptures too, weird huh? Well i just hope they read them and get baptized:) And the following monday, i got a voicemail, which was left on the 3rd, and it was from a girl who the robbers texted from my phone, and she cursed me out, so we kept thr message and her number and gave it to the detective, i just hope we get something out of this, beside holes in our pockets from where our money was!! LOL Also, for those of you who live in SE Idaho or at least were visiting on the 4th, u know we got that nice rain storm, the one that flooded lots of places. Well we were at the fairgrounds with some friends getting ready to eat dinner when it started raining. Well since we had the green car and it was missing a window, we decided to leave to go switch cars, since we park the green one in our garage and rain wouldnt get it. well i think we left a bit too late becasue it started pooring and cody got drenched from all the water coming in our car since the window got broke. Then it started hailing, and then we were parked at a red light, when all of a sudden, a semi drove passed us going the opposite direction and soaked us with tons of water from the flooded roads. My poor husband. I felt sooooooooooooooo bad for him because he was getting all wet and hailed on, all because i got my liscense stolen so i coulndt drive. Those little things like that is why i love cody so much. Well i hope i didnt bore u too much. ENJOY

car burglary

So today, Cody's sister, Jexi, got married in the Salt Lake Temple, so we attended, well we were walking back to the car to drive to the luncheon, after the wedding, and we found that our car got broken into. They took my purse and our duffle bag with all of our clothes from the night before in it. My purse had everything in it, and i mean everything, important that is. My wallet with all my cards were in it, my cell phone and my keys. So we parked the car in the parking lot of a stake center, northwest of the conference center. there was also two other robberies in the parking lot that were within the week. So we r never parking there again, i would rather pay to park. So i, of course, was balling my eyes out. yeah, i was crying hysterically. when i was walking, i was on the passengers side when i looked throughthat window and saw cracked window on the drivers side, so i thought, gee someone tried to break in, well when i got around to the drivers to c that they did break in and my window was gone, thats when i started crying, but then i noticed my prse was gone, and thats when i lost it and was crying hysterically. the weird thing is, is that right when we got ot the car and found it broken into, cody got a call from someone, it was our credit company calling saying that their was some fraud activity on my card, so cody cancelled that card, the robbers tried using it 5 times to fill up gas, twice at 2 of the places. the car ide home was kinda weird, but im glad were home now and everything is getting worked out.




this one is a picture of all the shattered glass on the ground, cant see all of it very good though this is the glass that shattered and fell in the back of the drivers seat on the floor

this is all the glass shattered that fell in the drivers side

this is the poece that was left in the door

this is where they tried to break in first but then didnt succeed, so they smashed out the window

this is the window after they were done taking everything they wanted

Bike Riding

So for those of you that don't know, i've been battling weight for most of my life. Its not a big thing, but its something that is realy hard to lose for me and my family becuase it only runs in our family. Its called "the bishop belly." Every girl in our family has it, my mom even had it when she was younger. Well, if we dont take care of it, it will grow(we will gain weight, just in our stomachs) So now, since i didn't take care of it that well, it looks like im pregnant, nothing fits me normally. So now that im considered 40lbs overweight, i am determined to lose it all by the end of the summer. I have 2 weddings that im attending this smmer that I'll be bridesmaids in and i want to look good in them. So my goal is to lose the first 20lbs by the first wedding on June 25th, then lose the second 20lbs by the second wedding, August 20th. It has been really hard to lose weight for me my whole life for a few reasons: #1: I get tempted easily, so working at McDonalds is a big temptation and i deal with it everyday. #2: we have been blessed with not so good metabolism, so everything we eat, it shows, and i love junk food. And there is more reasons but i won't list them all. So the one big thing that i have found that has been really fun lately is riding my bike. I ride it work everyday, and have been doing that for 2 weeks now, i havent seen any progress yet, as far as my weight is concerned, but im still trying. This is the one thing that I'm not going to give up on. And i plan on playing ultimate frisbee this summer again. So now that i have my excercise for the day, i just need to work on my eating and what i eat. Any suggestions? I think this is going to work because i have a wonderful husband who is behind me on this all the way to the end. So by the time i start school in the fall, i plan on being in a size 3 or 5 pant size, and to be 115 to 125lbs. Wish me luck!!

Family Pictures--09'

So i love pictures, any kind, i just love them. Well ever since me and cody got married, I've wanted a family picture with my family. but my mom said she wanted to wait till my brother was in town. Well he lives in Denver Colorado and last time he was here was for our wedding (a year and half ago) Well for his birthday, my mom bought him a plane ticket to fly down here to visit us, so i took advantage of him being down so we got pictures taken, with Anthony,my brother, and our grandparents.
