It started again

School....blek!

I am super excited its my last semester of interior design. I might cry, out of joy or sorrow I am not sure which. 

So this may be the last blog you read for a while. I am completely terrible at updating about our lives and really great at updating about completely useless information. Go figure. When I look back and read this blog a gazillion years from now, I will be so annoyed that I didn't actually put anything pertinent on here. 

meh...oh well

Ty and I are great. He is so awesome and landed his sweet booty a scholarship. MAMA IS PROUD!

We went for a quick visit to phoenix to see some of our best friends while on break and spent the rest of 

Christmas break working and eating delicious food! 

It was so nice to spend time with our friends and family during the holidays. I love Christmas and we both were completely spoiled by Santa this year. 

Sigh, back to the frigid logan weather and the endless homework. ugh. I am soo too old to be doing this still. 

whats funnier than being in school till you are 26? Paying to be in school till you are 26. 

Gross.

On the plus side I finally realized Tyler is way smarter than I am. All this time I was such a little snot and 

thinking I was the smartest because I got the best grades and scholarships and blah blah blah....turns out I have a vast amount of knowledge in a very unimportant range. Husb on the other hands seems to know everything about everything. I asked him if he thought he was smarter than me and he looked at me weird and said yes? With that I am scared you will hurt me if I tell the truth but if I lie you can tell and I am scared of you,  face...

Good times. 

Hopefully this year will be the best one yet, I am really ready for a freaking awesome time. 

I think there will be a lot of firsts and lasts this year and I can't wait to see what 2012 brings!! 

boom. roasted. 

STUCK STUCK STUCK!

Guess what has been stuck in my head ALL weekend?

Batman's in the kitchen,

Robin's in the hall,

Jokers in the bathroom,

Peeing on the wall! 

Classy no?

Hi! Oh you don't remember me?

Strange....

I thought for sure I could neglect you for months on end and all of you would still remember me without even an ounce of hesitation. 

Sorry for the delay folks, Honestly I neglect this blog the way I neglect my homework. 

since all of the non blogging, I haven't really done anything exciting. 

Ty and I are still just trucking along in school. Can I graduate yet? Seriously? 

I want to be out of school and onto real life so bad I would give my first born to 

Rumpelstiltskin if he could make it happen now. 

Great for me, sucks for the kid. 

Life is crazy and there either seems to be too much time or not enough. And although I can't wait for real life to start and to earn money and not turn around and give it right to the school, I have been thinking lately

that there are some things I am so grateful for, that if I didn't say them out loud, 

I would be doing them a disservice

• I have a really amazing family. They make me crazy and happy all the time. I love them and they are always there for Tyler and me. They even put up with an occassional appearance of the hulk when I get too little sleep and too much stress. 
• I have the best friends in the world. Seriously really amazing people. I have friends that have stuck by my side since elementary school, through my ups and downs, introduced me to my hubby, inspired me creatively, introduced me to diet coke, and help me laugh at myself. My friends are the best part about my day, whether its phone calls, drink runs, or hate dancing, the happiness they bring makes everything better. 
• I am in one of the best Interior Design programs in the nation. I have learned so much and although this has been the absolute worst year ever, as far as school goes, despite the major problems, it is so awesome. I am inspired everyday, and love everything about it. 
• I am sort of in a healthy state. I mean I could be so much worse and I am so much better than I have been in while. So I am grateful for the not too distant future where I have no ulcers, thyroid, or insulin issues. Don't you worry carbs and Diet Coke....I am coming back for you, someday, I swear! 
• My husband. He is so so good to me, and loves me despite the appearance of my ugly side(s). He treats me better than I deserve, he picks up after me when I pass out from exhaustion, he makes me protein shakes in the morning and popcorn at night. He thinks I am funny, pretty and smart. Even if he is way smarter than I am, he pretends that I am the smartest, because I like it. He always knows when to shut me up, hold me close, and let me cry. He is everything I never knew I wanted, but have always needed. he is the breathe to my life. 
• The gospel. I am so thankful that I know I am a daughter of our heavenly father, and that he knows me. I am so thankful for the knowledge I have, and that Ty and I can live with him forever. I am of late especially most grateful for answered prayers. They take such little effort and produce such big results.  

So there you have it. My little list, of what makes my world go round. Its short but important, just like midgets. 

LOVE

 

DC to CL

Lots has happened, None that is exciting. 

My ulcer is much better now that  I am on strict order from doc to never again drink diet coke....

Moment of Silence for the loss of a DEAR friend.

On the plus side I haven't woken up with searing pain in my abdomen for over a week.

However I am also off grain....like all of them. 

I don't know if you know me or not, But I am a Carb girl. 

Like, it lights up my life in  a way that

makes my husband jealous and

my family and friends embarrassed to take me out in public. 

ANYWAY,

despite all the set backs, I am actually a lot healthier and less tempted by 

They that shall not be named. 

( this is what we call bread and cake and treats now, not out of fear like in the Voldemort/Harry

issue but more in the pining loss of the meaning in your life, kind of way. ) 

I have however substituted my addiction with crystal light lemonade and 

sauteed zucchini. 

Us addicts always have to have something to be fixated on right?

The only reported loss so far was when I got mad at my husband for having an adorable teeny, tiny, tooshy. Why does he get to have a slammin body when he doesn't even care that much about it? 

Curse him and his perfect body. 

Serious I get naked and you can literally feel the house shudder. 

 Well that's all for now, lost in the land of studio, Netflix, and Crystal Light Lemonade. 

Ready, Set......

School has started.

let the stress begin....

On a more exciting note:

I get to hang out with these peeps

(who happen to be my freakin fav)

Cheers to you and with a little Diet Coke and 

Frozen Yogurt we just might

make it through this year!

Don't you just LOVE....

spending the day at the water park with the fam.....

getting splash attacked by your parents even if they are 48 and 53? 

eating IN-N-OUT in chlorine soaked clothes.....

and spending the evening baking red velvet cupcakes with the BEST SISTERS in the WORLD?

I do. 

the end of an era

I am sitting here waiting for my shuttle to come collect me and my things. I am leaving on a jet plane...all my bags are packed....I am ready to go...
you get the idea.
I am so excited. I am SO excited to see my sweet husband and to feel small and safe in his big long arms. I miss him so bad my body aches. I always feel so lacking when we aren't hanging out.

However,

Over the past 2 1/2 months something happened.
I fell in love. With New York.
I love it here. I absolutely love it here. I even love the mean people and the creepers that tell me god blesses me for being sexy(pretty sure it doesn't work that way)
There is something so incredibly charging about this city and my favorite part is the way the city become cozy and magical and alive with a frenzy of possibilities at night. There is something truly awesome about this city at night. It doesn't matter if you are running in the park to a backdrop of luscious tall trees, and sparkling cityscapes, or downtown at a fancy party, rubbing elbows with the most interesting people you have ever met, its something in the air that brings a level of anticipation and excitement for the possibilities that are waiting.

I can't even talk about the food. It is the best thing that has ever happened to my tummy, in terms of the food put inside not the effect it had on my waistline (duh duh duuuuuuhhh!) The best of so many things have happened here and you never which restaurant is going to be the next experience to blow you away.

So while I sit here, anticipating what will be the best hug I have maybe ever had sans my wedding day, Part of my heart is breaking a little. I love this city and the affect it has made on me.
I am braver here, I wear red lipstick whenever I want. I dress like I am too cool for school and I don't feel like an imposter. I give directions to tourists like a local. I yell at cab drivers when the almost run me over, I walk fast and I now know the subways like my way around a pizza..(which is extremely well.....wink!) I feel cooler here. And maybe its not true, maybe I was to shy or scared to do all of these things before and they were buried deep down inside of me, but regardless, The city changed me. The city taught me, and above all inspired me.

As I contemplate my life back home and what I am so anxiously awaiting to return too, I know that I am forever better for what I have learned and grown to be here.

I think the street vendors said it best...

I HEART NEW YORK
