Is it raining or something?

So a few weeks ago I came home from a STRESSFULL/HECTIC day of school and Billy asked me if it was raining or something? No, I replied it is actually sunny with blue skies. Once I looked in the mirror I knew why he asked me that question. My bangs looked completely drenched....gross. I guess this is what stress will do to you. Also it gives you acne like a 14 year old boy (I will spare you the picture). Bye Bye

What is happening to me?

Oh the good old days of caffeine. 6 months ago I quit soda cold turkey and I have noticed so many benefits of this decision until last night. I remember the days of finals week going through my 24 pack of diet coke like it was nothing or Jessie and I drinking a nice big cold caffeinated beverage from the 7-11 right before going to bed and not being effected whatsoever (besides the wonderful bubbly/burning sensation as it goes down your throat). But last night was not worth my body getting over its caffeine addiction anymore. Every now and then I throw down a crystal light energy drink before a workout but that is in the morning. At about 6 last night I decided to have one in between my run and teaching spin. Sure I was crazy hyper during my workout but for some reason that hyperness (yes, I did make up that word) didn't wear off until 2:30 AM!!!! I tried everything from counting down from 300 in multiples of 3 (I read somewhere that worked) to reading my book (bad idea because I am really into it and if anything it was making me even less tired) to watching the entire movie Mean Girls on my phone. It wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that I had to wake up at 5:30 this morning. I am a little out of it but so looking forward to my bed, watching the bachelor and napping at exactly 5 pm 1/21/10.

P.S That is NOT our bed, and yes I was looking up comfy beds on google images counting down the minutes until nap time.

Before Billy I Never..........

1. Ate bedtime snacks of pretzels/cheezits/cereal in bed

2. Took a multivitamin

3. Kept a credit card for 6 months before I lost it.

4. Cleaned up a dead spider

5. Read books for fun

6. Put my car keys in the same place after use (k I am still working on that)

7. Listened to Taylor Swift

8. Got excited about Apple coming out with a new product

9. Ate hamburgers very often let alone bacon

10. Watched an ENTIRE football game

11. Shaved my legs in the winter (not that Billy does that)

12. Knew how to whistle (took me three times to spell that right ha)

13. Was so hopeful and happy

I guess its pretty fun trying to be like your best friend.

P.S This is the back of Billy's new shirt, I laugh so hard every time he wears it....nerd alert:)

I know it's Christmas time but......

I am a little ashamed but I just emailed my husband my birthday wish list. It is still 59 days away but I get a little excited. Plus I already picked out my Christmas presents in a stop to Nordstrom. Don't feel bad for Billy I already have all of his Christmas presents and I already know what I want to get for his birthday in July before I started thinking about what I want for my Birthday. Still how did I get so lucky with such a selfless husband. New Years Resolution #1: Stop online shopping during school and stop counting down days until my Birthday (I have done this since I learned how to count).

Here are a few of my favorites.

P.S. Cute story....

So about a month and a half ago Billy and I were at a football game when I noticed a girl with an amazing headband/beanie/ear warmer. I told Billy that I must have that. I forgot about it but Billy researched Etsy and asked girls on campus that were wearing one where they got it. He surprised me on Friday with an early Christmas present.... a purple and a red headband. So stinkin thoughtful!

How much is too much?

This entry is completely ridiculous…read at your own risk. When does hot chocolate cross the line from not so bad for you to half of your daily caloric intake/addiction? I am worried I am teetering on a thin line and I don’t want to end up at weekly HCA meetings. I could blame this ‘problem’ on -3 degree weather but to be honest I think I could drink hot chocolate all year long. So is it weird that I drink on average four-five glasses of hot chocolate a day? How much is too much? How much hot chocolate do you drink?

This week I….

-Played qb at the annual chick bowl.

-Ate Pedros….Billy’s favorite taquito in the world (I submitted this photo to thisiswhyyourfat.com)

-Made cupcakes of course along with my first cupcake shake with Jimmy.

-Mastered weird human tricks. Yes, I can levitate.

-Slept on an air mattress that somehow broke Thanksgiving night after eating so much and woke up on the floor. We already heard all of the fat jokes you can think of please do not leave a fat joke comment.

-Went running and to the gym with my mother-in-law and Shelly.

-Played in the Jacobs tennis tournament. Billy and I took first.

-Made up a dance to Miley Cyrus party in the USA

-Played with photo booth on my computer. I love that I can be myself with my in-laws.

-Played ping pong for hours.

-Ate Thanksgiving dinner… it was insanely delicious. There was a pie for each person totaling 14.

-Had tummy time (this is when you eat too much and for some strange reason laying on your tummy helps so much)

-Found out Dan and Jaime are PREGGERS AHHHH! I like to believe that it is because of me that a new child will be entering into the world. I was the matchmaker.

-Enjoyed 80 degree weather.

-Watched the office into the wee hours of the night.

-Watched the byu game comfortably on the couch with more food than you can imagine and sold our game tickets… time to go shopping.

-Woke up with this in my bed cuddled up next to me.....

-Forgot I had a job back home and didn’t grade/plan a thing even though we are starting the human sexuality unit and I have so much preparation to do

Overall, it was pretty much one of my favorite weeks ever.

Isn't he the hottest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i read a book.....

so i have to admit i am not a big reader. i like it when i find a good book and have time to read but usually i stick to cwtv, abc, house and blogs to entertain me in my spare time. i decided i was going to start reading other than from a computer screen. i told my mom about my goal and she recommended the hunger games to me. she is a smart woman....start me on a young adult/kids book so that i don't quit after chapter one and turn on modern family. guess what...... i loved it! i was hooked. i couldn't put it down. (don't tell billy but i have a slight crush on peeta) it was the perfect combination of an action story and love story. read it now.

we are in california for turkey day. we got here last night at 9:30 after an eventful road trip consisting of now and laters, house watching, and napping. today we went to the gym and for a run. my mother-in-law is so speedy!! she ended the run in a full out sprint.... she is my hero! we started cooking today and had a ping-pong tournament and i retired as the house champion. yes it is 80 degrees and billy is wearing shorts. it is going to be hard to go back to the snow....

pictures will be posted shortly. bye bye.
