Fun with Aimee and Josh!!

So last night we got to go over to Aimee and Josh's house for the first time in a REALLY REALLY long time. I think it has been over like 2 months since we got to go. Well Aimee and I planned it and I was going to surprise Matt because he is ALWAYS bugging me about how he misses Josh(what's he going to do when Josh and Aimee move to Florence?? Matt has already planned that one...we are going to move out there with them!!) Anyways...so I got Matt in the car and told him to lay down and close his eyes so he couldn't tell where we were...well...he knew exactly where we were. So I tried taking different directions but it didn't work very well, but he was still excited that we got to go. So we got there and we talked for a little while and then the men decided to go see "The Happening." Well Aimee and I had no desire to see this so we stayed home. We had so much fun...Aimee made brownies, and since I didn't want to be rude...I helped her eat some. They were SO FREAKING GOOD!!! Thanks Aimee!!! Then we talked some more and I was telling her that I wanted to go see a certain movie. So she took me to this AMAZING site...and I am sure glad she showed it to me. I am the kind of person that does NOT like to see movies with naked people and I don't like to hear cuss words...especially when it is every other word. So if any of you are interested in checking up on movies before you go see them...the site is kidsinmind.com. All in all it was a really fun night...but I am going to be really sad when they move...hopefully we will follow them shortly!! But until then, Matt is going to get a good paying job so that we can drive out there to see them!!!

Two(For Julie!!)

So I was reading a friends blog and she did a cute little thing on it. She just listed a couple things that she likes..only 2 of them. So I decided to do the same thing...so that maybe you could get to know me just a little bit better, and then you can do the same!!!

2 of my fav songs- I'm gonna love you forever by Jessica Simpson, and pretty much ANY Tim McGraw song
2 of my best friends-McKenna and Stephanie
2 of my favorite movies-GREASE!!! and Charly
2of my favorite foods-Chicken Nuggets and French Fries!! Yummy
2 of my favorite drinks-Dr. Pepper...and more Dr. Pepper!(Does that count as 2 if I drink it 2 different times a day?)
2 of my favorite colors-Teal and...PINK
2 things I would do if money wasn't an issue-probably pay off debt....and DUH!!! Go shopping. As I have taught my nieces...a girl can NEVER have enough shoes!

Now it's your turn..come on people.

Matt's Birthday!!!

So today Matt turned 26!!! I was a nice wife and let him play x-box most of the day while I went out with Laurie and Steph. It was really fun!! Then when I got home I surprised Matt and I made him a cake...it was SO cute! I am really proud of myself. I just made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting...but I took some white cream cheese frosting and colored it blue and wrote Happy Birthday Matt on it. Then tonight I had his parents and Steph and his best friend Steve come over and we sung happy birthday to him! It was so fun!!! I took pictures but I am too blogger illiterate to figure out how to post them with this post!! Thanks for everyone who wished Matt a happy birthday and thanks Steph and Laurie for the help with the cake!!! I love you Matt....thanks for letting me share in your birthday fun with you!!

I'm a working girl!!

I am such a slacker!!! I thought that I was doing really good at updating this, but it seems like ever since I started my job, I don't have time for anything. As many of you might know, I am NOT a night person, so work this week has almost killed me off.
On Tuesday afternoon, I started my first day as a hairstylist. I know that I love it and that is what got me through that day. I had some....RUDE customers come in, but for the most part it was a really good day and I had a really good time. This entire week I have been working from 1-9...which I HATE, so I have been begging to be switched to days. My dream came true!! Next week I get to work days!!! Anyways, for any of you that need to get a haircut...feel free to come on by, I work at Mastercuts in the Fiesta Mall

When did I get so old???

So as many of you know I took my practical test last week, and I have been super stressed about it lately...waiting to hear if I passed. Well...I heard a teacher say that if I passed I would be able to look up my license number online within 3-5 days, so like an obsessed person, I have been checking the website everyday...all day long. Well, as of this morning I still couldn't find my name ANYWHERE, so I instead of worrying about typing my name correctly like I was before, I began to worry if I passed. And if I didn't pass, it would be so embarassing and I would have to wait another 2 months and have to come up with the money all over again. Anyways, long story short, I got my license in the mail today. I was going to try and wait until my parents were here this weekend, but I couldn't help it. I HAD to open it.

So then...instead of being super excited and happy, I began to worry about how long it is going to take for us to get caught up on bills..and will I be good at what I do...and did I make the right career choice. I don't ever remember worrying like this. When did I get so old that I worry about EVERYTHING???

Playing mom and other stuff

I never quite understood what people meant when they said being a mom is a lot harder than people think. This past week I got to watch Stephanie's kids...and it was HARD!! I NEVER thought that it would be as hard as it was. It would seem like they would just push me to my limit everytime. And I think I get so frustrated because I did all the stuff they tried to pull on me. I give them an inch and they take a mile!!! It was most definately a lot of work but it was really rewarding!! It was so "nice" to see Rylee in the middle of the night screaming...but then it was more nice to hear her say please!! And it was nice to see her want me!! And we got to dance(she looks so cute when she dances the way I taught her). It was stressful...but a GREAT experience.

Then there was Mothers Day...which sucked just as much as I thought it would. I made sure I called my mommy..and I texted my family and friends that are mommies!! And it was a really hard day but I was doing really well not to feel too bad about myself and cry...and then I got a text from a friend, and I just started bawling. She wished me a happy mothers day and before I could even tell her not to bother because I'm not a mother, she texted me "because I know you have some kids waiting for you!!" I started crying, but it wasn't a self pity cry, it was more of like a...you're right...I have been promised kids. I tried my best to put on a happy face and just be the best that I could. And all of a sudden..Chris brought over tons of rocks(he has this thing where he gives rocks out as gifts?!?!)Anyways, he offered me some and I said Chris...I'm not your mom you don't need to bring me anything, and it was SO cute. Chris was like...well you take care of me as good as my mom does...and you are kind of like my mom so I want you to have them. It was seriously SO FREAKING cute!!!

STATE BOARD!!! As most of you know, I went this morning to take my practical exam that I was super nervous about. I think I did really well, but won't know for sure for about 2 weeks...so I will let you all know.

Stephanie

So this morning at 5:00 I went over to Stephanie's house and she went off to the hospital to get her tubes tied. When she left I almost wanted to cry. I mean...isn't it ironic that Matt and I are trying so hard to have a baby...and Steph knows she's done and is trying so hard to prevent having kids. It made me really sad. Anyways...I feel so bad for Stephanie. If any of you are reading this and know Stephanie, please just keep her in your prayers. Her surgery went fine but she is having a hard time dealing with the pain. I mean...I'm sure it didn't help that her daughter accidentaly head butted her in the stomach. I gave Steph the best thing that helped me when I got my appendix out. Luckily for me my mom and my big sister were there the entire time, even when I was sleeping. Sara was awesome and when I was in the hospital and hadn't showered or changed my clothes or anything she went out to GAP and bought me some pajama pants and some clean underware...and my mom stayed by my side the whole time and bought me soda to help get the air out of my stomach, so I have been giving Steph soda non stop and it seems like it has been helping which I knew it would because it helped me!!! Thanks mom!!!

Anyways, back to my original point, please just pray for Stephanie. I know she will get better but it is just really hard to see someone you love in that much pain and not be able to do ANYTHING for him or her.
