Dreaming of California

I'm thinking we could use another honeymoon.  It has almost been ONE year since we were married and heading to good ole sunny San Diego.

Sitting here looking through pictures, I can't stop smiling. I love San Diego! and Aaron!  It was the best week of my life, by far. Hotel on the beach, Disneyland, San Diego temple, Old Town San Diego, riding around our resort on our bike/car, and more importantly a week away from school with my very best friend Aaron A. This all sounds so nice right now.

 

It's a Happy day today!

My O-Chem lab is done!! Yes! Done forever! I am SO happy. Yesterday I finished classes at 2!  That is unheard of! and I spent the rest of the night doing whatever I wanted, which I guess included quite a bit of homework...But seriously, I love my life now. I loved it before, but it's just so much better now.

Yesterday I spent half of my free time thinking of all the people that I want to plan fun things with! I thought about listing all my ideas, but I'm afraid I might forget someone important so we'll just skip that. But I DO have some new goals since I feel like I can actually accomplish them now!

1.Make dinner.  I want to throw up just thinking of Hot N Ready Pizza.

2. Make lunches in order to minimize our use of Suzie's meal plan. Haha

3. Be on time to work and church.  I've had a little problem lately that I must have been blaming on my busy schedule.

4. Go to Vegas and Idaho.  I haven't been home since July and I'm so homesick! I know that sounds like nothing but that's probably my record.

It's going to be a great rest of the semester!

P.S. I know my posts are boring because I don't have pictures...it's because I always post at work. Sorry!

Waiting

This semester I feel like I am always waiting.  Waiting, while definitely working in the mean time. I am counting down until mid-semester when I will be done with my most time consuming class that is only worth 1 credit! Organic Chemistry Lab...ugh.  Surprisingly, I don't mind being in the lab doing experiments for 6 hours a week.  It is pretty meticulous but it kinda feels like I am cooking, probably because so far we have created banana oil and isolated cinnamaldehyde.  If I am going to be standing at my lab station for 3 hours, I might as well be graced with the aroma of cinnamon and bananas to pass the time.  It really makes a difference. 

 
 I saw this on pinterest.  Lab cookies.  Maybe these would help with my science frustrations.

I applied for PA school this past summer (yes, it took me all summer) and I am waiting on that now.  It feels weird to finally be at this point in my life.  It has always seemed so distant and now here it is!  I applied to 12 schools all over the country and I am waiting to hear back.  Last week I got my first invitation for an interview and hopefully there will be more! The interview is for Marietta College in Ohio.  I don't even know where that is but I'll take it! 

Basically, I am just waiting to see how the next 2 years of our life are going to play out and normally I wouldn't be aware of the waiting but we will be finding out in the next few months.  I guess this is a critical point in our lives?  I'll be fine with what happens either way!  I just want to know now!

Aaron, cops, and scooters.

Lately there is just some kind of magnetism with Aaron, cops, and scooters.  There has always been a little something with Aaron and cops but I swear that the cops in Provo just recently got together and decided to start pulling over scooters every chance they get. I'm serious.  I've seen a lot.

Friday night Aaron got pulled over on his scooter and got 4 tickets! Seriously?? Who gets 4 tickets in one sitting?! He wasn't even speeding. The scooter only goes 34 mph.   The best part was that Aaron asked him why he decided to follow him and the policeman said, "I just had a feeling that you did not have registration."  He didn't even do anything to get pulled over!

So yesterday Aaron went in and talked to the court and was getting it all figured out and on his way back...he gets pulled over AGAIN. 2 more tickets...  6 tickets in 3 days! How could a person get any more than that??!  And the tickets were for really stupid things.  Trust me. Provo cops are ridiculous.  That's all I can conclude.

On a funny note...I don't know if Aaron was thinking about his tickets while he was in the shower this morning or what but he was singing some song with the lyrics, "I fought the law and the law won." I had to giggle at the appropriateness of the song. Poor guy. Haha.

Today I woke up embarassed

Today I woke up embarassed.

It was all because my peaceful sleep was interrupted by The sudden blaring sound of Aarons alarm clock at 6:30 am.

Today my body's reaction was a little different than other days.

The second the noise started, my body jolted and I yelled, "science!"

Don't ask me why the word science was just waiting to burst out of my mouth this morning, it just was. And it left me feeling just a little bit embarrassed.

My friend Tanya

 Today I am thinking about my friend Tanya because I heard next week is shark week(or maybe it's this week?). Anyhow, she loves shark week. :) I met her when I worked for a home health care company in Las Vegas and now, although I don't see her often, she is one of my dearest friends. I love Tanya. She is a sweetheart with an occasional spunky little attitude. Haha  She suffers with Acromegaly and the complication that come with that disease so pray for her!  She always needs it.   Listen to her story! She has recently appeared on the Today show, TLC, Rachel Ray, Mystery Diagnosis, and all kinds of news programs. She's a star, but that's not the point :)  She is a beautiful person inside and out and I am proud to call her my friend. :) I love you Tanya!

I am married to a crazy man

So I was thinking today... Aaron really is kind of weird (in a good way).  He does things that I'm pretty sure most other people don't.  Like chewing and smacking his lips in his sleep. As a result, I am always laughing.  Here's a quick example.

This morning I am getting ready for work in our bedroom and Aaron is out in the living room.  I hear him start to whistle a tune most of us are familiar with, especially if you have seen any old cowboy movies.

It's the tune that's playing when the cowboy is walking out of the saloon doors to meet his opponent.  There is about to be a shootout and the townspeople are scattering (Hopefully you know what song I am trying to describe or else this story might not be very funny).

So anyways, I am hearing this tune coming from Aaron, now slowly walking towards the bedroom.  As he reaches the door to our room, he stops in the doorway.  He has his scuba goggles on with his morning hair sticking up in every direction.  Haha. He must have put on that get up and felt a little dangerous. 

Scuba Aaron. A little cross-eyed.

There is actually a reason for this pose.  He got these shirts printed for his business and this one was printed a little crooked.  So now for any pictures that he takes with this shirt on, he puts his arm up to straighten it out. I'm not sure what the reason is for his finger haha.

I love my little weirdo.
