Your Jimmer isn't even real!

Oh my goodness we have had such a fun weekend! Well it started on Wednesday, Ry and I were able to go to the Jazz game with Tom, Karie and Kacee. They played the Minnesota Timber wolves, and it was a pretty dang good game! Very high scoring! They hit like 71 in the first half. It was fun to see family and we always like to get out and do something besides work and school. On Thursday Kacee and Karie came into my work and I gave them both a Microdermabrasion. It was fun, and I think they liked the facial... lol After we found Tom we went to Cafe Rio there in Draper. mmmm I never get sick of Cafe Rio, It is my very very best! I think Ry felt bad that he didn't get invited, but that's what you get when you are responsible and don't sluff school!

 Tom Just had surgery on his thumb the day before. :( Karie is so nice to cut his food for him. lol 

I had all day Friday off from work and that was so nice! I was able to get a few things done, which always results in lots of money spent. :) I had to get one of my window wipers fixed....ugh. Sometimes I feel like my car is just a hole I'm throwing money into. But I am very grateful that it is payed off, and that nothing major has gone wrong with it. As long as that little Alero drives I will keep it, because I love not having a car payment! At around 6 I met Kate in Provo! Her and Shadd drove up so that Kate could come with me to a little shower for our friend Stevie. She is having a baby at the end of this month and she is giving him up for adoption. She already has chosen the family, and so they threw a little shower up in Heber City for Tara (who is adopting Jackson)  it was also for Stevie just to help her out and get her back on her feet. It was kind of a bitter sweet feeling. I have so much respect for Stevie and I'm not sure I would be able handle all of that. Adoption is such an amazing thing. Tara had 2 children of her own, and they both passed away with in a few weeks because of a heart defect, so they resorted to adoption. They already have a little boy who I think is like 2, and now they get to have Jackson in just a few weeks. Tara seems like she is such a nice person and what a blessing for her. I know that Stevie is doing what she feels is best for Jackson and herself. She is one of my favorite people, and I love her so much. Kate too! :) I love Kate! I have such beautiful friends.

 

 

 

This is Coleen (Stevies Mom) Stevie, Tara, and then Tara's Mom.

The moms had to drink 7up out of the bottles.  ;)

 

It was so good to see Stevie. I hadn't seen her since like right after I got home from Hawaii. So it had been about a year and a half. It was also way good to see Kate. As always :)

 

Saturday, Ry and I got up and went to the gym and then pretty much lounged around watching March maddness and Ry had lots of homework too. BYU played SOOO good! It was such a fun fun game to watch. They played Gonzaga and beat them 89-67. 

 

 

My favorite sign of the game was "Stockton is really here to see Jimmer" haha Speaking of Jimmer.... :) I love him. I think he is so sexy. haha I think all the hype about him is so silly though. I bet he gets proposed to everyday at BYU. Ry and I found this video last night that the BYU library made, and we were cracking up, because I think that really might happen. ha jk

haha so funny!

Fact: Bears eat Beats.

Fact: I hate buying food.
I think it is such a waste of time and money, because it just goes right through us! Then we have to buy more! I honestly wish I could just only WANT to eat what is healthy for my body and what my body needs, think of how much money we would save! I keep telling Ryan I would totally give up my taste buds, so that I could do just that. lol Obviously I wouldn't really...... But I do think that would solve my problem with this hot cocoa addiction I have had lately. I know god gave us our taste buds for a reason, but I just wish that my mom would have never fed me sugar so I wouldn't know what I was missing! :) (thanks mom, it's all your fault. jk) Anyway, Ry and I spent $81 at Winco last night, which probably would have been over $100 anywhere else. But still 80 bucks is a lot! We tried really hard this week to make up a meal plan for the next 2 weeks, so we didn't end up with a bunch of random crap that didn't go together like we usually do. lol  So hopefully we can stick to it and just be happy healthy people the next 2 weeks, for dinner at least. :)

Lately we have been so busy, but we have done some fun things! 2 weeks ago on Wednesday Ry and I both got off work a little early, We went to visit Carma our land lord for a little bit. Then we drove down to campus for the BYU vs New Mexico game in Provo. We were so excited,  Ry got the tickets like a month ago, and we wore our matching BYU cougar shirts.  haha I was so disappointed  that Davies got kicked off a few days before.....what a punk. Who cares what he does in his "personal" time. But freak, if you're going to do it with your girlfriend just wait until after basketball season. Am I right? I'm sure it killed the BYUers who axed him, but they would have done it with anyone. I'm sure the rest of the world has a hard time understanding our values, and the reasons for them. BUT! BYU is a private school, Davies knew 100% what was expected of him to play on their team, and he screwed it up. If he couldn't handle he should have picked a different school. Kind of sad, but it's his own dang fault. I really liked this article on ESPN that Ryan found.    http://m.espn.go.com/ncb/story?storyId=6175251&i=FB&w=1aet5  It's nice to know that even though the guy doesn't understand the honor code, he can respect it. Well, I'm sure you all know that BYU lost that game..... um...I probably could shoot better than all of them that night. :) jk But seriously, It was bad. The best part of the game was the Half time show. Hahahahha I STILL giggle when I think of how funny these ladys were. I think they said their age range was from 56-94. (I don't know how to get these links to work But really, watch this! It was super funny! Maybe just copy and paste??) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9XULgUO2vU
 They said how many children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren they all had put together, lol and it was lots. I can't remember, But I know the grandchildren were in the thousands.
After the game Ry had some homework to finish so we spent the rest of the night in the library, (I know such a romantic evening) :) But it was so he didn't have to go back down to campus the next day.

On Saturday My cousin Justine had her baby shower. She is such a cute pregnant girl. I didn't get any pictures... but it was so good to see her, and I found out that she is moving to Draper. So I am going to be best friends with  that little London Lynn on my lunch brakes. :) I'm already got a pattern to make her and Grant church clothes. :) Ahhh I love Grant We were able to Skype with Thomas, Mandy and Grant on Sunday :)

I think Grant was Hungry? I don't know, but he was kind of mad. lol

 :)

 What a cutie! We love you Wiggingtons!

 I would like to end with our favorite Office episode. ;)

Ihatewinteritis

Today, I worked a half day because I had an appointment to go do my taxes at 4. Now I have nothing else to do until Ryan gets home. So I'm a little bored.... and I have major IHATEwinteritis! ( yes, it's a real word and its a problem!) Why does winter have to last 9 months out of the year!? What is the point? It really makes me miss Hawaii. I miss being warm. :) ahhhhhh  

And I miss my old Job ;(

And I miss The Uluaves :(

BUT! I love my husband :)   He is my favorite :) Having him around makes everything better, and seeing him is the highlight of my day.

So I guess it's ok I live here....as long as Ryan is here.
Hurry spring! I'm so freezing!
