Guess who am I???

Emily is at work... and I'm missing her like crazy. I was going through some of my old pictures and I came along this one. I can't believe how much I have changed. This is my brother and I. Which one do you think is me?

Livie and Me

So, today Livie got to come over and play with me while her Daddy went to the BYU football game! We had so much fun! The first thing we had to do was drop Daddy off at the game and then we came back home and ate lunch. We finally got to eat the stew that I made Thursday that I was planing on making Monday!

See, in my food management lab we learned how to cut with a knife properly and practiced with veggies so I had a big bag of veggies cut and ready to cook Monday night. BUT I left them in the fridge at school. So, Tuesday, I picked them up but didn't have any meat to cook the stew that night. So, wednesday I buy some chuck roast but I get out of school at 7pm so I didn't want to cook that night. So, finally I made it Thursday evening, but didn't eat it because I went to the dietetic opening social and Francisco had to work till 9:30. So, Friday night we're determined to have stew for dinner when my friend Heather invites us to go to PF Changs with them! So, yes, we ate stew for lunch today and Francisico insisted on eating it with rice... I'd never eaten it with rice, but it was good. Livie liked it too.

So, after lunch Francisco went off to work and Livie and I were alone to do whatever we pleased! First we built a tower of blocks. Then we went outside to play with chalk. So after we got chalk all over our clothes, we played on the furniture and rocked in the rocking chair! Then we decided to walk to the park that is about a block away. Livie LOVED the slides and her hair would stand straight up after going down them from all the static! I wish our camera wasn't broken so could've taken pictures... There was also a bumble bee rocking ride that we played on and she started singing the baby bumble bee song! so cute!

I finally convinced her to go back home and we changed the diaper and went to bed. I had to pretend to fall asleep with her (and I pretty much did fall asleep) but she fell asleep quite easily. So, here I am blogging while she sleeps.

Olivia is such a sweet little angel and I love her so much! Of course she's not a little angel ALL the time, but when she's with me, she generally is--- that's the best part about being the aunt! I get to give her back when I've had enough!! :) I can't wait to have another adorable little neice in just a few short months!

1. What is your favorite fictional character from a book or movie?

Edward Cullen!!! OMGoodness, he is perfect. Well, almost as perfect as my Francisco... :)

2. What are your 3 best physical assets?

As told by my hubby: mis piernas largas (long legs), my shape and curves, and my smiling eyes.

3. Name 3 attributes you would be proud to pass on to your children.

My intelligence, my sense of humor, my empathy.

my want to rebel, my people pleasing perfectionism, self consciousness.

5. If you had to give up one of the following things FOREVER, which would you choose? 1. All makeup. 2. Flat iron/curling iron. 3. Razors (laser hair removal isn't an option).

Definitely #2. i don't ever use a flat iron or a curling iron so I wouldn't even miss it! Next would be makeup, then razors. I can handle going without makeup as long as I'm hair free. I actually only wear makeup about half the time anyway...

6. What do you think is your best quality?

My attitude. I am always smiling and try to always have a good attitude about things.

7. What is your worst quality?

I think I'm always right about things and don't like to admit it if I'm wrong.

8. What would be a perfect day for you?

A perfect day would be a day without worries. I'd be with my friends and family and everyone would feel loved and welcome and happy. We'd all go play in a park and eat our favorite foods and play our favorite games. Nothing would go wrong and we'd all go home feeling great!

9. Where is your favorite place you have ever visited?

ooh, I loved Yellowstone, and Florida (but that could possibly be because it was my honeymoon...) Anywhere in the mountains, forest, or canyons is just gorgeous and I love being there.

10. Name something you are really good at?

I'm good at listening. I have a natural ability to listen and have compassion for others.

11. What are you most shallow about?

This isn't one I think about often... Francisco says I'm shallow about his needs... lol I guess I don't cook enough.

12. What is something you're a little bit conceited about.

I suppose my looks.

13. Name 3 things you are embarrassed to admit.

1. I've had 3 UTIs since I've been married. ugh. 2. I NEVER wash my car. Yes, it's gross. 3. I produce so much plaque on my teeth and even brushing like crazy doesn't get rid of it all. (My gums are also receding because of brushing so much...)

Some Honeymoon Lovin'

So, we went to Florida for our Honeymoon. We had planned to go to Cancun, Mexico (had the tickets and everything) when we found out that Francisco couldn't leave the country on a student visa now that he was married. So, we had to cancel everything and we chose to go to Florida. Everything worked out awesome though and we didn't lose too much money. Thank goodness! and Florida turned out to be way way fun! We got to go to the beach, the lake, Downtown Disney, and all the theme parks! We had such a good time. Aw, the honeymoon. I wish I were back in Florida... :)

We went jet skiing on the private lake at our Hotel in Kissimmee FL. It was wicked fun and I'd never been jet skiing before so it was just really exciting. I even drove and appearently you are supposed to be at least 21 to drive, but oh well! heehee

This one is at our private beach at our other Hotel in Belleair Florida (next to Clearwater). The water was so warm and lovely. I'd never really been able to swim in the ocean cuz the Oregon coast is freezing!

We went to Universal Studios. Here, we were waiting in live for the disaster ride. The whole time you are waiting for the ride there all these scary artifacts (like the shark) or destroyed planes, monsters, etc, so you're expecting a scary ride. but then, the ride is just creating out own disaster movie and it's really funny. Francsico was laughing SO HARD! He has the best laugh!

This is Islands of Adventure; Toon Lagoon. When we first took this picture we didn't realize that you're supposed to flip it sideways! We just thought Marmaduke was running up the wall! haha Island of Adventure was way fun!

We took this one at Busch Gardens in Tampa Florida! Busch Gardens was really fun cuz they have rides and a zoo. That day there was a freak thunder strom so they shutdown the rides early and we were next in line for one of them when they shut it down! STINK! I guess we'll have to go there again... :)

Yes, more wedding!

So, these are some pictures some of you MIGHT not have seen yet. This one above is of the infamous Francisco dancing with my Ma at the reception. We do have the video, but i won't post it until my Ma gives me the go. haha

I just really like the simplicity of this one. I think it's really sweet. and i just love holding that wonderful soft brown hand of his...

This one is of us dancing... I love a man in suspenders! I don't know what it is about them; i just think they are so hott!

So, see, this blogging thing is already bed cuz I'm procrastinating writing thank you notes and doing the dishes! ugh!

Our wedding slide!

We made a slide of all the professional pictures from our wedding. Enjoy it!!! and tell us how cute we are together!! LOL

Question

How do I get the links on my profile?

We did it!

Okay, so we did it for you! We finally made ourselves a blog.
I guess I'm a little excited but afraid that it will ultimately take up way too much time that I do not have! Especially since we are both starting school in just a few short weeks!

I only have classes on monday, wednesday, friday, but those days are jammed pack from 9am-7pm. ugh. It's gonna be tough. I decided to take a piano class though! (advice given by my mom and husband.) I hope it won't be a huge time commitment, but I am excited to get back into playing the piano. I also will be working in the Pendulum Court every monday and wednesday. Pen Court is a restaurant ran by the Dietetic kids. aka me. I've never actually eaten there, but I heard the food is wicked good, so come and visit me! I will also still be working at the Center for Change. For those of you who don't know, it is a center for eating disoders. I really do love it there and I'm sad that i won't be there as often as I am now. I love getting to know the girls and seeing their recovery. Francisco will be taking 17 credits next semester and still working 20 hours a week. He will be super busy too!

I know the Lord will bless us so much and we will be able to make it, but it's just a little stressful to even think about! The summer has just been a nice break to have fun, be married, and hangout.

I also just found out today that I got a Pell Grant for $4000! That is so extremely exciting and I can't believe the government is just giving me money to go to school! That's a full ride scholarship right there! :) We are so blessed. seriously.
