Whats new pussycat?

yeah...i have that song stuck in my head and i have no idea why...but i'm going with it.

i woke up this morning at 4 with a shooting pain in my throat.

and a pounding headache.

had jace give me a blessing so i could sleep.

got up and came into work even though i feel awful.

i've decided that i'm going to the take care clinic (too late to make an appointment with the dr.) as soon as i'm off work...to make sure its not strep. because i need to get on antibiotics if it is. because i'm supposed to be going on vacation, dangit!

jace's cousin logan is getting married this saturday to rosalice in utah. and jace is the best man. and we are really excited to be getting out of the heat.
and on our way home from utah we are going to stop at my family's ranch for memorial day. all of my extended family are going to be up there.
and all of this should be super fun...but not so much if i'm dying.

also, the last time we went out of town and left our hamster she didnt eat for 3 days. She got depressed that we left her. I am now worried about leaving a HAMSTER. Never did i think i would ever ever say that and be serious.

in other news:

Jace is officially 25. 
we even had a party to celebrate.
it ended up just my family and his...and i'm totally okay with that.
although i did stress out making sure everything was clean and that we had enough food even though it was just family.

my niece jane is 6 months today! holy cow. time has sure flown since that little cutie joined our family.

my other niece alyssandra has a respiratory infection. poor thing. she has the saddest voice. but she gets cuddly when she doesnt feel good...so there is a positive that comes out of her being sick.

i have done a TON of haircuts this month! and that makes me happy. i hope that my business stays steady and i pick more clients up! that would be so much fun!

i have done so much advertizing this month for my hair business...i have my own blog, website, new cards, emails, craigslist, texts, and word of mouth. Its alot harder than i thought it was going to be--thats for sure.
(speaking of--little plug here!--all haircuts are just $10! and color services are $20 and highlights are $30 if you make an appointment in May--you dont have to get it done this month, it can be in june...but you do need to schedule in May)


Nothing else too new with us...we feel like we just work and then chill at home.

Saw the Avenger's movie once with my family for FHE, and again this week with Jace's family. And...its a good movie. It makes me laugh.

My little brother went to PROM. Prom people. Holy cow. and today is his last day of school. and then he is a SENIOR. in high school. WHEN DID I GET SO FREAKING OLD?!? WHEN DID HE GET SO FREAKING OLD?!?

Jace and I both are on instagram...i have no clue why jace joins these things (instagram, twitter, facebook) because he NEVER ever looks at them. or posts things.
But i've been using instagram a bit more lately. you can follow me @andihunt


And thats it. that is what is new with us. not a whole lot. lol be prepared for wedding/cabin pictures sometime next week. i'm taking my camera.

Mother's Day

This year, as i have been so down in the gutters about not being able to get pregnant, i was praying so hard that the day would be happy as i celebrated the mothers around me, even though i wasn't included. And I'm happy to say that i only had one moment of sadness where i thought, "but...I'm not a mom." and gratefully i stopped my thoughts there before it could transform into a "what if i never get to be a mom?" thought. Ugh. that would've ruined my day.

I instead was able to focus on the Mother's i have around me. 
We have TONS of brand new moms in my ward.
And TONS that have just had babies or are expecting babies.
Basically we just have ALOT of moms in my ward.

I have TONS of friends who have just had babies.
And TONS of friends who have just announced that they are expecting babies.
Basically I have a TON of friends that are moms or are going to be.

I have 3 sister-in-laws who are mommies. 
One celebrated her very first mothers day.

I have a Mother-in-law on a mission.
Who raised 4 kids.
and is totally out of her comfort zone, helping other mothers out on the reservation.

I have a fantastic mother of my own.
She is kind, and loving, supportive, and courageous. 
She gives, gives, gives.







She prays fervently for all of us.
She worries incessantly about us.
She celebrated this mothers day--her first mothers day as a GRANDMA.
She is a great friend. 
She is beautiful.

How could i let myself get down in the dumps when i have all of these great moms around me? Happy belated Mothers day to everyone else out there. You are special and I love you!
(watch this and have it make you cry!)

Stuff and thoughts

Its been awhile since i've posted...and its been because life has gotten crazy.

seriously.

i started this post DAYS ago. and i'm just now getting to finish it!

my brother had his birthday on the 19th...and he turned 31. that was the first time i realized that we're getting older! it didnt really sink in until i thought about that. i mean, we are in no way old. we're just starting our lives really. hes been married almost 2 years and now has a beautiful 5 month old. i'm not even 25 yet for heavens sake. but dude. my BABY brother is turning 17 and going into his senior year. that means i'm climbing the age ladder. it just was weird when i really thought about it.

jace and i got callings in our ward! he is our new gospel doctrine teacher! kill me. i am SO glad its him. lol he is so excited and his first lesson went fantastic!

i got called to be the Relief Society Meeting Coordinator. Meaning i'm the person in charge of the Relief Society Nights F.K.A. (formally known as) Enrichment. SIDENOTE: my mom has a friend named Toni and she is hilarious. When my mom was going through chemo AFTER her double mastectomy (yeah shes pretty amazing) she was having trouble referring to her chest since she no longer had breasts. WELL...toni (who is a huge fan of Prince) thought and thought and then said, "AFKAB!" It is your "Area Formally Known As Boobs!" And now whenever i say AKA or FKA (as i just did) i bust out giggling...as i'm doing right now. lol afkab. hilarious.


BACK to my calling. I'm going to love it. I just know i am. I'm really excited for the next meeting...because we had one less than 2 weeks after i was called so i wasnt too "in the know" with that one. Bring it on! I love planning stuff!

We have been trying to branch out in the ward and in our little community we call home, and we have come up with a few friends! we are so excited!

We started the "Month of Jace , FKA May" a little early this year! There was a deal going on at GameStop where you could trade in your old xbox and any apple items (ipods, ipads) to go towards a new system. Jace's xbox 360 was dying. and we were going to have to get a new one anyways...SO we jumped on the deal and came home with a new xbox 360 AND kinect (which is what he wanted for his birthday) and we have been playing it A TON! The kinect is weird, but also really fun! i am also super sore!

Jace told me a couple of months ago that for my birthday in June he wanted to go on our first ever out of state vacation--just the 2 of us! We decided to go to DISNEYLAND! words can not express my excitement. seriously. I found an awesome deal on tickets last month and just this weekend, found a deal on the hotel and booked it. ITS ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN! So so so so exicted.

I'm trying to get my weight under control. The truth is, i dont know if i can. Not because i cant eat healthy or exercise more...but because of my PCOS. It just adds pounds when i'm not looking! We seriously have been eating so much healthier---for heavens sake, i've been cooking! We've been eating our fruits and veggies! I've been exercising at LEAST 3 times a week! AND i've put on 3 pounds. So frustrating! I'm so tired and so sore too, because i'm doing lots of different workouts hoping that it'll keep shocking my body. And boy howdy, its doing that!

my flowers are still growing! which is a miracle anyways...but they havent started to look like flowers. everyone thinks they are herbs. lol whatever. they arent dead which was my goal!

and now that i have sufficiently rambled, i am done.
