I know I know, I suck at blogging. Seriously though, my life is not interesting right now. But I'll still share what's going on, mostly because I always get mad at people when they say their life isn't interesting. So yes.
School: Loving it! I'm finally in my ECE program at BYU and it's delightful. I enjoy all of my classes, prolly my favorite is Children's Literature. I get to read all these awesome children's books and my teacher is so enthusiastic. Oh, it's just great.
Exercise: At work, we've begun a Biggest Loser contest. We did it last year and let's just say, it didn't last long. Yeah, surprise surprise. But we are for real this year! I don't know why but my husband always laughs at me when I say I'm for real about being healthy. Is that funny? I don't think so. So, my plan thus far is eating better and exercising more. Yeah, apparently that works for some people. I don't know. I also have Beyonce up on my locker at work to motivate me, I just love her! I've rocked at eating this week, I have even been off of "coke" for 11 days! (I quote that because I will drink any caffeine, it used to be only Diet Coke, but now I'll take anything brown and bubbly) This will be intense if I actually stay off of "coke". I've never been able to do that. So, wish me luck on my new adventure into health!
Life in General: Life is great. I really just enjoy life. Leo & I have played a few intense games of monopoly lately. Man, one of those, I whupped him! It is rare for me to win; oh it was so fun to make him feel like a little girl. Like a little sissy girl. My dad came out to Utah last weekend for my cousin's funeral. It was a really sad day, I didn't know this cousin very well but I just can't imagine what his immediate family is going through right now. Other than that sad experience, I'm content where I am. Leo & I are desperately trying to save money for a car, Betsy drives fine, but we're not sure how much longer she'll live. Neither one of us have ever dealt with a car payment and so we're trying really hard to not have one with our next car either. All is well.
If something exciting happens in my life, I'll throw it on here but don't hold your breath.

Relationship Info
Look at me go. Two posts in one day, can you tell I unplugged my cable and now I must turn to the computer to distract myself from homework? I stole this post from another blog, but I think it's kind of fun so I wanted to do it too. This is just some info about me and my husband, Leo.
How long did you date?
We dated for about 9 months and then we were engaged for 6 months, so 15 months.
Who eats more?
Mmm, that might be a tie... I'm a pretty good eater (what an unattractive description)
Who is taller?
Leo by like 7 inches.
Who is smarter?
Ooo, depends on the subject, 'cause I can pretty much guarantee that I know more than he does about what celebrities are up to lately. So there you go.
Whose temper is worse?
We're both way laid-back. There's not much tempering going on here, plus anytime I feel strongly about something, I usually just end up crying which always defeats the situation.
Who does the laundry?
I would say myself only because I am the folder. We equally stick it into the washer & dryer but I always fold the clothes. I enjoy it for some reason, I like to see pretty piles.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
I do unless I'm feeling brave. The right side is against the wall, so I feel very comfortable there. But the left side gets the lamp so if I ever need to read, I want to sleep on the left side but the door is near that side and I get scared really easily during the night, so if that scared feeling comes along, I'll steam roller Leo in the middle of the night to get to my comforting right side/wall.
Who pays the bills?
Both, almost all bills are automatic withdrawals, except for rent which we both do. Leo does take care of the credit card though.
Who cooks dinner?
Ooo, when I'm feeling like a good wife, I will, but let's be honest, how often does that feeling come around? We cook about the same amount, I have a great husband.
Who drives when you are together?
Leo, pretty much always.
Who kissed who first?
Me, definitely. Raintree apartments... under the stairwell... it started to rain and even though we'd only been dating 2 weeks, I couldn't resist the opportunity of a rainy first kiss. Get 'em girl.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong?
He totally is, I'm suprisingly stubborn. He's a sweetheart.
Whose parents do you see the most?
Leo's, they live within an hour-drive and mine live within a 22 hour-drive.
Who proposed?
Leo, it was a perfect proposal.
Who is more sensitive?
I would say we are equally sensitive. We both have our emotional sides, he might not want me to share that, but oh well. Bless his heart.
Who has more friends?
Probably Leo, I'm not really social, and he's always been really comfortable in social situations.
Who has more siblings?
Me, I have 4, Leo has 3
Who wears the pants in the family?
I would say me, only because my husband is much sweeter than I am. This goes back to the stubborness.
Do you have a song?
I have like 10 of them for us, but he can't ever remember when I make them our song, so it's pointless. He probably would know the "No Matter What" song, it's by Badfinger, look it up! y'all would like it. it's adorable.
So that is probably way more information then you guys ever wanted to know about me and my husband. But yes. I really like us.

Guilty Pleasures
So, this is my post of guilty pleasures. We all have them. They are the things we do, watch, enjoy, or wish we could do that maybe we don't tell very many people about. However, I'm feeling brave and I am going to share them right here. right now. on this very blog.
1. Mindless computer games: these include mahjong (I rock at this one), bejeweled, spider solitaire, the sims :) my family knows im a dork about this one, and many many others. These games are great for killing time when I have an hour in between classes.
2. Burger Supreme: I've mentioned this place before on my blog. There's no way it's good for my body. A big greasy burger, covered in cheese and bacon, with a huge thing of fries and fry sauce washed down with a cherry coke. Yes, I confess. I enjoy this type of meal when afterwards you feel so full and gluttonous, you would unbutton your pants right in the restaurant.
3. Crap TV: The Tyra Show, Keeping up with the Kardashians (this one always makes me miss my sisters!), infomercials, America's Next Top Model, the list goes on and on. These shows are so addictive, yet I'm pretty sure they don't help my intelligence at all?
4. Musicals: Love them! Just to mention a few: Mamma Mia, Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Moulin Rouge, Chicago, High School Musical 1, 2, & 3... :) Such joy.
5. Socks: I love funky socks! Not toe socks, those kind of make me feel claustrophobic. I just like lots and lots of patterns and knee-highs always rock.

Desparate need for updating!
Okay, sorry it's been so long, I know it's really hard for the 3 people that read my blog because they have just been begging to hear about my life. Jay-Kay.
Alright, 1 minute update on my airport experience:
12/27- I flew out from SLC - Den - DFW. all in all, i was in airports for 14 hours. first flight was 4 hours late, second flight was only an hour late, but i got onto the flight and settled in and the stuard said my seat was double booked and that i had to get off, they put me on a flight 3 hours later. its possible that i went and cried in the bathroom stall a couple times. i did however get to read the entire 2nd twilight book. loved every minute of it! i can't help that i kind of love jacob, he will never be edward though. sorry, distracted. Coming back, my flight was at least better than the first, no connecting flights, just delays on the first one.
12/29- my second anniversary with leo! he was in utah, i went to texas alone! i missed him a lot, we couldn't talk very well either, because the goofball doesn't want a cellphone. it's okay, i still love him.
So the first couple days of my vacation, i spent time at my dad's, he's in shreveport, LA. I really miss him when I'm away for so long. we had a ball in Shreveport, we always do. We went to the Independence Bowl game (picture below). It was way fun! My cousin Jared was there too, which was fun because I hadn't seen him in years, and if you ever read this, Jared, stop feeding my dog fatty foods!
Both of my sisters came, Jess-23 & Loo-19. I love my sisters so much. It's so nice to have someone around to be girly with. We spent much time buying makeup, hair products, and I also got a sweet straighteneer and curling iron for Christmas, so of course with all these resources, we had to do some makeovers! My lil sis did my makeup and hair and i did her "waterfall of curls". Her hair is so dang pretty! Some day my hair will be long...
The rest of my trip was spent at my moms in Rowlett, Tejas! Man, I have the coolest lil brother & sister. The sisters above are my siblings from my mom and my dad and then I have 2 siblings from my mom and stepdad. Cody is 7 and Callie is 4. Love them! They make life incredibly fun! I'll throw in some pics of them, cause they're just oh so cute. I miss my mom a lot too, all the time. She is the most amazing person I know. We really are so much alike. I'm excited for the day when I can be closer to my family.
This is the only pic I had of Cody, I took more on my phone because it actually has a nice camera, so sorry theres only half the face.
So, yes, most of my trip was spent watching a never-ending amount of movies. Just to name a few: Bedtime Stories, Billy Madison, Wall-e, Across the Universe, Mamma Mia, Jumanji, The Women. We also did a lot of eating and shopping. Oh! I did get a new phone! which was much needed, well thats not true- my old phone worked fine but i wanted a fun cute phone! I always get the boring "free" phone! So yes, here are some pics of that too! What a great vacation!
I had a hard time coming home to school and work. I'm excited about my classes though, they're going to be really interesting! (that sounds sarcastic, but i promise its not!)
