Finals Week

Well... It's about that time again... The time when the hubby is nowhere to be found and when found is slightly ornery. When the house looks like a tornado struck... and Ashtyn and I are Jonny deprived. 

FINALS WEEK!!!

I hate this week with a passion! And more specifically, now that we have a sweet baby. 

I went back to my job I had before the babe came because they were short handed and for some reason they think I'm awesome and not incredible annoying. So now we have lots of help with baby. (I miss her like crazy!) 

Lets just say work and being a mom and cleaning the house and trying to sleep and trying to move is....

Stressful?

Hard?

Tiring?

Horrible? (The packing part)

Why yes it is all of the above!

We've been blessed enough to have such great landlords and a cute little apartment that suits the two of our needs quite well. But due to the recent (four months ago) changes we've had to... upgrade?

Our sweet little angel has decided that she loves to yell-talk. Yes, I meant what I typed. She doesn't talk softly or "cue", she likes to yell and sing to herself WHILE dad is on the phone working. (He's an at home working husband.)

We are pretty excited to move because our little apartment is getting quite cramped. Our living room is also Ashtyn's "closet", Jonny's work area and our storage room. I will spare you all the gruesome details of what our sweet home looks like at this moment. 

Hopefully one of these days I will post pics of our cute "First Apartment". 

This is about what we want to do right now in our house. :)

Yay for Anniversaries

Hey All!

So I totally did not forget to blog but life just sort of happens and it's been crazy around this little household.

First, the hubs and I FINALLY went our 1 year anniversary! (can I get a woot woot?) We don't have any money being that we are poor married/parent college students so we kept the anniversary close to home. My sweet mama took our baby for the weekend and boy did I cry when I had to say goodbye to that little sweetie. (she even smiled when I shut the door, so we know she was happy to go stay with papa and Shella.) 

The hubs and I decided that we would each get a year! Guess who was in charge of this years anniversary?

How cute are we?

                                    

GO JAZZ!!!!

                                   

Jonny's SECOND ever birdie!!!

Temple sesh and dinner at "The Roof"

Amazing 1 year anniversary, although the highlight would have to be the nice half naked gentleman who got on the elevator and then proceeded to flirt with the other two woman on with us. :) Thank you sir for making this year memorable!!! 

Read this, Liked it, Am quoting it now!

"They say that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. This is true. It is also true that beauty lies within how you see yourself because we cannot see outside of us what is not already in ourselves."

People of Salt Lake

I've decided I want to start my own website called "The people of Salt Lake." (yes this would be a knock off of "People of Walmart".) For those of you who have know idea what I'm talking about, here is the link, go check it out, I'm sure most of you will be on the floor laughing (I peed my pants BUT only because I was pregnant at the time.)

Anywho, back to my website! While at the bank today I found my cover page couple. These two gems were amazing. Now I'm not a 100% sure if they were who I thought they were but the facts speak for themselves.

List of facts pointing out that these two were pimp and pimp assistant/hooker (not really sure what their official term is):

1. "Pimp" had lots of gold chains, a nice suit, and a pimp hat, and I'm pretty sure I saw a couple gold teeth.

2. "Pimpess/assistant looked like a million bucks in her gen-x cheetah print pants and walmart classy black t-shirt. Don't get me wrong she looked great! I even told her so as I was walking out.

Lastly but most importantly... 

3. "Pimp" handed the bank teller a HUGE stack of $50's, $10's, and $1's.

Now like I said, I'm only assuming they were pimp and pimpess. But jeez if I had a stack like that I would have headed to Nicklecade!!! 

This is what I think I would compare them too. As described to the hubs.

                                              

And then I cried... :P

Well hello blogging world!!! I've been wanting to start a blog since I first got married but then life happened and I totally spaced. At first attempts of creating a blog, Jonny and I came up with the blog name of "Once we were awkward..." :) And for the blogging world to see we would post our awkward 8th grade pictures. (spoiler alert: Jonny had hair halfway down his back and a strange half smile thing going on and I had braces, pimples and only one earring in my right ear.) And for our posts we would post about the awkward things we do pretty much every day. Once we found out about our little bean, we decided we would spare that poor child from coming into a world where it's parents were known as freaks. 

Now I guess I should also explain a little bit about the blog title. For those of you who know me, you know that I LOVE to tell stories. (I really only have like 5, so I vamp them up each time I tell them.) On one special occasion of me telling one of my legendary stories, my brother-in-law Jason brought up the fact that after EVERY conclusion, I end it with saying... "and then I cried.." Hence the name of this lovely blog. What can I say, I'm a sensitive soul. 

Well, I think that about sums up this creation story. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone. I know this cute girl and I will! :)
