There has been so much on my mind lately. Halloween doesn't feel any different than any other day.
Nick and I went to our church party on Friday night and we were two of the roughly seven adults dressed up. Mind you I sort of threw together something last minute... (I was a cowgirl) I spent my whole week last week up to my elbows in fabric and thread and fake blonde hair. It was insane. Nick's costume finally got finished about 15 minutes after the party started on Friday. I'll post pictures of it's awesomeness when I upload the pictures from our camera.
Is it just me or are babies and pregnant ladies popping up out of nowhere? Where's mine? Not that we're trying.... because we aren't.
I've been super sick for the last week. Sniffles and snot and tissues have over-stayed their welcome. I'm finally moving on and getting better. Thank goodness.
I need to clean the house.
I don't post enough.
This post is totally random. But so is my brain so deal with it.
I love my friends and family. They all amaze me with their capacity to love. Every day I get that awesome warm fuzzy feeling from some kindness that they show me.
Nick is working.
Rhett sent Nick a text today. Rhett is Nick's bestie. He said I should be pregnant for Halloween.
It made me sad.
I don't know if I'm going to dress up tonight. BUT I am going to hang out with some awesome buddies and pass out limited candy so we can have left-overs. Yum.
Now... Off to finish the chores I started a few hours ago... Ta ta.

[Totally Awesome Tuesday]
It's Tuesday! I didn't forget.
I haven't posted in a few days (or about a week....) but I've got some things planned so hopefully I'll be better this week! That way my stalkers... ahem.... I mean my friends can know what I'm up to! ;)
Since it is Tuesday, it has to be awesome. And let me tell you, this Tuesday has been.
1. Nick and I are super in love.
2. My fingers are sore from hand-stitching part of Nick's costume for hours today. I call it love.
3. I sat around in my jammies all day.
4. The Primary Program at church this Sunday just melted my heart.
5. Nick and I had an AWESOME date on Friday. I'll make sure to tell you guys all about it!
6. I always feel awesome when people tell me they read my blog. It inspires me to be a better person. You all rock! (And thanks, Whitney, for reminding me to post more!)
7. I have friends.
8. Our friend FINALLY went on a date with this one really cute girl.
9. I know that my redeemer lives.

Date #3 - Scavenger Hunt
If you keep a track of what me and Nick are up to on the week ends via Our Dates, then you probably already know about the change of plans. BUT if you don't, let me tell you...
Our original date was going to be a dance class given to us by our amazing friend and champion Rhett Grant (if you don't know who he is, google him. You'll find out). But alas, he was out of town dancing his heart out with his new dance partner.
Our awesome engaged friends, Zach and Delina, thought it a good idea to double on Friday. So we did. =)
What did we do?
A picture scavenger hunt of course! It wasn't just any hunt though. We had to show off our best dance moves as suggested:
Playground Paso
Chapel Cha-Cha
Swingin' by the Swings
Backyard Ballet
Hotel Hip-hop
Wendy's Waltz
Before starting our journey, we went to Red Robin (yum!) and ate some delicious food. I ended up forgetting my left-overs on the table resulting in a very sad husband.
After we were stuffed with goodness, we pulled out our list! Here is Playground Paso (mind you, me and Nick have no idea what a paso is so, enjoy!) -
After the chapel stop, we swung by the park to do some Swingin' by the Swings. Oh how I amuse myself.
Nick's face in all of these is priceless. He cracks me up.
Time for some Backyard Ballet!
Do you see the dog in the second picture? She's hilarious.
After we did some ballet, we headed over to a "swanky" hotel and did some Hotel Hip-hop. This hotel was not at all swanky. In fact, it's rather scary.
A little way into taking these pictures, we spotted the people in the lobby staring at us. It made for a really creepy audience. We soldiered on anyway! Take that creepy staring dudes!
After we got our "thug" on, we headed down the street to do some Wendy's Waltzing. (sorry the pictures are so dark! I don't know how to edit them)
After we took some reeeeeally dark pictures, we headed inside to get some frostieeeeeees. I got an Oreo frosty. Uhm, delicious!
I hope you enjoyed our random scavenger hunt as much as I did. We had some good laughs.
Have you ever done a scavenger hunt?

Don't those onion rings just look divine? I want some right now...

I think they had an unfair advantage of having a dancer on their team, but we had fun. =)

YESSSSSSS
Just writing to say I finally got my haircut. I am in love. =)
PS. Sorry for the horrible lighting. You can blame my webcam.
[Totally Awesome Tuesday]
It's that time again! It's Tuesday and it's totally awesome!
So, last night I had two really weird, heart-breaking dreams. In one, my husband wanted to be a polygamist and decided to marry a friend of ours (who is already married, btw) and he pretty much dropped me like it's hot afterward. It's not like the first wife gets the most attention.... Bad dream. It will NEVER happen. NOT ever!
My second dream was horrible. My little brother, aka Dexter the dog, died. Seriously. Poof. Dead. It was awful. He died of some freak virus that was super contagious to anyone who came into contact. Did that stop me from hugging him? Not at all. Heart broken, I sat I my computer and typed out a doggie eulogy to post on this very blog. That's right. I went straight to blogging. Ridiculous.
I woke up in pain this morning. It think it's all that emotional dreaming.
Anyway! Since this is supposed to be Totally Awesome Tuesday, here is my list about why I should love today:
1. I AM GETTING MY HAIRCUT! If you read last week's post, you would know that I was supposed to get it cut then. But alas, I needed to make an appointment since this lady doesn't do walk-ins resulting in postponing the hair cut one week. Am I excited? Yes. My hair is in much need of scissors.
2. Life is awesome right now. I finally got over my bleh stage and things are soooooo much better.
3. I feel super accomplished in the kitchen. I made amazing dinner last night and some pretty awesome pumpkin cake so boo-yah! I win.
4. I am starting to feel more confident in the aspect of being a wife. I am learning to cook. I'm learning to sew. I'm actually cleaning. How awesome am I?
5. We have great friends.
6. I'm still working out. It surprises me that I'm still goin'!
7. My husband is awesome.
8. I slept on Nick's side of the bed this morning after he left. It's sooooo much softer than my side. I'm in love with his side.
9. My list is getting longer every week! I know this is only my third week but it's still longer than last week's!
10. I am feeling artsy. I want to learn photography skills. I really love taking pictures. Let me show you some of that awesome stuff I made yesterday! (refer back to #3)
mmmm. Just looking at these pictures makes me want leftovers.
Oh and if you make that recipe, use a whole stick of crackers... Otherwise it will not be able to be formable. (formable? I don't think that's a word... Go with it) AND we used turkey instead of beef. Awesome.

Do you know what visiting teaching is? If not, click HERE!!!! And here is another good article.
Until recently I haven't really understood how to be a visiting teacher. Granted, I'm still learning but I really love the women I have visited. They are so sweet and such amazing women. At first I thought I wasn't going to have many friends in our ward because me and Nick are so young compared to everyone else. I've learned that age doesn't matter when it comes to friends. We all live them same life with struggles, and we all are striving to be better than we were yesterday.
My companion has taught me a lot over the last three months. She is patient. She has a huge heart. She is such a great example of how to live righteously. I love her so much and I'm so grateful for her.
I know that as we continue to help and pray for the women we visit, their lives will be blessed just as ours are. I can see how the gospel uplifts these women and gives them courage to be amazing mothers and wives.
This month's message is amazing. It's all about faith and obedience to covenants made with Heavenly Father and being an example to your children so they might grow in righteousness. It is amazing how we are able to take stories from the past and apply them to our lives today.
My companion pointed out to me today that even though I don't have children of my own, I can be an example to the children I teach in Primary. When I read the message alone, I was thinking of ways I can improve so that when my children are born, I can be a righteous mother that my children look to for an example of Christ-like living. It wasn't until she pointed out the fact that I am an example that I realized I should focus more on those children. Some of them don't have parents that sit and read the scriptures with them every night. They might not have a figure in their life that prays with them. The only outlet for the gospel they have is on Sunday.
I feel so blessed to be able to be that example for them. I love those kids so much and I want to see them grow up to be amazing sons and daughters of God.
So, as you sit here and ponder your examples and the way you were brought up, remember that you also are the example for some.
I encourage everyone to read this month's message. It is an inspired one.
Who looks up to you?

Bleh.
Do you ever have those days when everything seems to go wrong?
Well, that's how my last few days have seemed. I know I'm just complaining but I have a right to. It's a free country.
I'm tired. I feel like I have to be forced into doing anything. And I'm tired of that. But I'm too tired to fix it.
I'm just feeling blah.
What to do?
What do you do when you get stuck in "bleh" mode?
ps. no haircut yesterday. humbug.

It's Tuesday again! Aaaaaand I am not feelin it. Hopefully this list will boost my spirits! I'm not entirely sure how many things to list off each week, but who cares? It's my list and I'll do as I please.
Without further ado:
1. I'm gettin' my hair cut today! It's long over due. My "bangs" are below my chin. Check out my pinboard to see what I'm going for. I had about ten cuts on there but my husband and I weeded through and narrowed it down to those two. (imagine it wavy.... my hair is naturally wavy.)
2. SEASON 4 OF CHUCK! We pre-ordered it from Amazon and it should totally be in my mailbox today!
3. I am heading out to watch Real Steel with Nick tonight. What beats $5 movie night?
4. I've been learning about many different things lately and I love it. I can feel my mind expanding.
5. Two out of three sewing projects are done! I will post pictures soon! So look out for those!
6. Nick and I have grown so much closer over the last week. I love him.
I had another one or two but as I was writing, I forgot. I've had a horrible headache since last night so some things are a bit fuzzy. Now I am off to the medicine cabinet and the shower.
It will be a good Tuesday. It will be a good Tuesday. I will be happy on Tuesday.
Here's a mood boosting picture:
I love funny kid pictures.

Stages of Life.
I've been going through somewhat of a struggle lately.
I can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that I have friends. I feel so alone. So distant from the outside world. I feel like I'm in some kind of limbo between stages of life. I'm not single and I'm not a mom.
It is really really hard sometimes. Today, Nick is having his loyal guys over. I tried to invite my best friends over and they are out of town. I never know what is going on with them. It makes me feel worthless.
I struggle on and off with depression and anxiety. I'm sensitive and life doesn't care. Little things like friends not being able to hang out, late night trips to a crowded store, and being home all day alone may not seem like much to other people. Life happens, right? Not for me. Things like this make my heart race. I can't breath. I feel small and useless.
It's a struggle.
Then I remember what stage of life I am in. It feels awkward because those around me are either in the mother stage or the unmarried stage. Well, me? I'm in the married without kids stage.
I have a best friend who wants to hang out with me every day. He makes those grocery trips less scary. He makes staying home all day worth it when he comes home to me.
Although I don't know many people in my stage of life, I have one person who is always in the same boat.
Someone who always loves me.
And I'm happy to be in the same stage as him.

[Totally Awesome Tuesday]
I hate Tuesdays. It started in high school when I would go to school from 7 AM to 4 PM every. single. Tuesday. I loved why I was at school for so long, but I didn't love being at school for so long. For some reason, the spite and disdain I carried in high school for this day of the week never left.
So. My new feature Totally Awesome Tuesday is dedicated to all things good about this day. I am hoping that through this, my mind will be cleansed of bitterness.
Here are some totally awesome things:
1. I get to be in my jammies all day because Nick goes to mutual at night. Thus, I shower and remain jammied. What's not to love about that?!
2. I started playing my violin again. It feels so good to be reconnected.
3. I haven't turned on my air conditioning in TWO days! Hooray for chilly! It's the beginning of snuggle season.
4. It's the beginning of snuggle season.
5. I'm married to my bestie.
Now, I realize that these aren't things about Tuesday, but I have to start somewhere! Cut me some slack!
Here's something that has boosted my mood! Enjoy!
Please share:
What's your least favorite day and how do you cope?

It's better to look up.
Today's sessions of General Conference were absolutely inspiring. I was move to tears and felt the Spirit so strong in many of the talks. I feel as if every talk had something specific for me to hear. I know that the Prophet and Apostles and all of the others who spoke today were inspired by the Lord to deliver messages to people all across the world.
Some of my favorite highlights are:
1. Barbara Thompson, Second Counselor of Relief Society, spoke about personal revelation. She explained how in times of need, our testimonies keep us going. We need to strive to feed those testimonies and build on our faith as much as we can so that when those tough times come, we will have strength.
2. The fact that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is growing so much that temples are constantly being announced.
3. Neil L. Andersen, member of the Quorum of the Twelve, gave a talk dear to me. It is my dream to one day have children. He explained that while it is a commandment of God to multiply and bear children, it is an important decision between husband, wife, and Heavenly Father to decide when to bear those children. It is a nice reminder when things in the world push me to either side of that decision, I am in control. It is no one's decision but mine. I will make that decision with Nick and the Lord. It will be ours and it will happen when it is supposed to.
4. Ian S. Arden, member of the Seventy, explained the most important things. Godly things are what matters most. Family. Church. Service and so on. We should all dedicate our time and efforts seeking out these things which are not temporal. Always strive to have that eternal perspective and look at what you are doing with your time.
5. In times of doubt, "it's better to look up." - Thomas S. Monson, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The story told by Carl B. Cook, member of the Seventy, really hit home. When you're down and just plain feel like nothing good is happening in your life, don't stare at your feet hoping that things get better! They won't! Learn to look up toward Heavenly Father and ask him for help. If you do this, life will always, always get better.
I can't wait until tomorrow's Conference! I'm going to snuggle with my husband and soak in as much as humanly possible! I will be watching here. Care to join me?
