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.

Andrea's Mailbag

Dear Arizona weather:

STAY IN THE 80'S! it has been PERFECT!!!! yesterday we even washed our cars by hand since it was so nice outside...AND THEN we washed 2 more cars that were not ours. If you keep creeping into the 90's and beyond we will not enjoy you so much. So just do yourself a favor and stay in the 80's.

Dear Clint Eastwood:


I love you. I do. But MAN. the movies you direct are SLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOW. We wasted 2.5 hours last night on INVICTUS. Which in my opinion was well done, and well acted. But i struggled to understand half of what they were saying, and the rugby was boring. Rugby should NOT be boring. Which i now end this with: I did not like Invictus.



Dear Target:
Oh how i love you. to the death. SERIOUSLY. I will go to bat for you dear target against anyone who trys to slam you. You are my happy place. and we have converted Jace. He now loves to go and browse your store for kicks and giggles. SERIOUSLY. I never thought that THAT would happen.

Dear Utilities:


It was nice to see low numbers on our bill these past 2 months...it'll be sad to see that end. Until next November low numbers, adieu.

and finally:

Dear Body:
STOP THINKING YOU ARE PREGNANT! SERIOUSLY THIS IS GETTING OLD! I am HOT all the time...the summer is coming, do you want me to melt into a puddle BEFORE JUNE? I am sick of the SWELLING! I had to get my rings re-sized, thank you very much. I feel my fingers swelling and hurting. My feet swell and it hurts to wear heels! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I LOVE MY HEELS!

I'm sick of the gaining of weight, even when i watch what i eat and work out! And on top of all of it, I'm sick of not being able to get pregnant because you already think you are!

And this ends today's session of Andrea's mail bag.

If you can believe...

I'm driving to work today.

I'm turning Left.

I hear what sounds like a train.

I think i'm going crazy.

2 minutes later I realize that my mom drove up behind me going straight and honked her horn.

and i laughed at myself for thinking my mom was a train.

and then i really start to think that im going crazy.

ps.
its gorgeous outside in mesa right now! holla!

frustration

jace called me when he was supposed to be at work.

he told me that the power steering on our older car had gone out.

he had talked to my dad and he thinks it has something to do with one of the other major things wrong with that car.

jace had to be extremely late to work, but thankfully my mom was able to lend him her car.

i am at a loss.

we have no money for a new car. or to fix our old one. for heavens sake we JUST bought a new car last Oct.

i am frustrated and i have NO idea what we are supposed to do.

my brain hurts.

RANDOM.

my life is a never ending cycle of random events.

and my brain is full of random facts/thoughts/etc.

today is dedicated to my random thoughts!

1. you would assume that being at work, by yourself, with nothing going on, watching your new episode of castle on hulu, would be the bomb. and my friends, let me remind you what assuming means! i am bored out of my mind.

2. i literally think i may have actually bored a part of my mind out of my cranium. i swear in the last month or so i've become dyslexic, the thoughts i'm thinking do not come out of my mouth the way i intend. i blame the excessive hulu watching.

3. i made a goal of making home cooked meals for 3 weeks straight. i've just finished my 1st week. and now i feel foolish. because i've been seriously craving me some costa vida. and my goal is preventing me from buying it.

4. i've picked out some fun colors of paint to get samples of--excited to paint my at home salon!

5. how hard is it to make your own website? any one know?

6. its officially summer here now. we had 2 days in the 90's. at least we made it to April.

7. GENERAL CONFERENCE WAS AMAZING!!

8. Jace hit his goal of "silver" at work and gets a bonus! I'm so proud of him!

9. I need to start packing snacks to eat while at work...dude. i'm starving right now. like my stomach is going to start eating itself out of sheer desperation.

10. Has anyone seen the movie "BIG YEAR" with Steve martin, Owen Wilson, and jack black? we red boxed it last night and jace and i thoroughly enjoyed it!
