Compromise

When you are married you often come to points where someone wants to do something or whats something that the other doesn't. Compromise is very important in marraige. You sometimes do things you don't really want to do to make the other person happy and in turn they do the same. you some times watch what they want or take turns picking what you do or where to eat ... But what happens when one really really really wants something and the other doesn't... do you make one deal with what you want or do you compromise what you want to make the other person happy... alot on my mind today about compromising and what is important...

Other things on my mind today is GAGA is on Saturday! I can't wait for this week to be over because it has been 1 LOOOOONG week! Parents are coming up this weekend and also going to hang with sisters! I love being with my sisters more than anything. We always have good talks and the best times! Hopefully they will have some input about my compromising situation...

Disney on Ice!

Today I went to disney on ice with my sister and my nephew! it was so fun and way better then i expected. It was fun to do this and kinda makes me wants kids... maybe someday...

GAGA for GAGA

A short post about what's on my mind today! LADY GAGA!!! The concert is 23 days away and I can't wait! Every year me and my sisters go to a "sister concert" it is the funnest girls night ever! This year when we heard Lady Gaga was coming we knew we HAD to go! SO about 3 months ago we bought tickets and this weekend our t-shirts arrived we booked the hotel so we can a fun time at the concert and be able to go back to a hotel and be loud and keep the party going without bothering husbands or Jax... it is going to be such a fun night and I can't wait! She may be a FREAK but I am sure she is going to put on one hell of a show! ! ! 18 MORE DAYS! ! ! !

Stupid Jazz!

The Jazz played Chicago last night at home and kept us excited and into the game the whole time pretty much.... they were neck in neck the whole game till the last 3 or 4 minutes! Needless to say Chris and I were so exciting thinking they were going to win and show the wanna be Jazz team, Boozer, Korver, Brewer ect... that the Jazz are the best and don't try to be like them. The last 3 or 4 minutes the Jazz decided to be the Jazz and lose! it was awful! I blame the refs! So Chris is kinda emotional when the Jazz lose specially after such a close game and he kinda acts like a 3 year old so when the Jazz lost this is what the couch looked like....




Chris threw the remote so hard it actually imprinted into the couch! Its a game! teams win, teams lose, it is a GAME...I kinda makes me laugh that he throws tantrums like a little kid, but I can't let him see me laugh because that will make him even more mad... after he cooled down though we were able to joke about what a child he is... no need for kids quiet yet... still trying to raise my husband! ha ha ha:)

pictures!

Mexico!

Our cruise has come and gone and while we had a blast I was ready to be home. The weather was nice but could have been ALOT warmer. We were only able to soak in the sun 1 day the whole trip, the other days we not very warm and they were windy. But anything warmer then 30 or 40 degree and I can't really complaine. Starting the trip we flew out of SLC at 7AM Friday morning. I'm not even up that early on a work day! It was fun to see Cory's face when we loaded the plane and took off... she is 30 something and has never been on an airplane! I wish there were words to discribe the look on her face as the poilot hit the jets and away we went! Once in California we rented and car and headed to Knottsberry's Farm for a fun day of being kids without having kids with us!


after a day at Knott's we headed to the hotel for a good nights rest. Saturday morning we boarded the ship! the weather was about 70 so it was really nice! we boarded and checked out the ship and our rooms and headed out to sea. Once off the coast the sea breeze was a little cold and we had to wear jackets if we were up on deck. The ship I think should have had an age warning "please board if above 50 years old" I swear we were the youngest 4 people on the ship! every where we looked we seen old people! Carnival ships are BY FAR more to our liking. Princess cruises are deffintanly more for the older folk! I'm not sure if my expectations were set too high or what but I was not impressed with Princess, the food was okay, the activites were okay, and the shows again were just okay... There was 1 night I think it was sunday night "i love that i lost track of what day it was" they had a party on the deck and that was alot of fun "with a jacket of course"
Our first stop was in Puerto Vallarta. The ship books excursions and had a zipline activity that looked really fun but it was 100 bucks per person, so Chris being the money smart guy he is, was able to track down a nice mexican guy that was able to score us 2 for 1 tickets to the zipline! it was such a fun experience to fly through the jungle on a line! it was a very fun time and i recommend it to anyone that is going there. The crew that goes with you makes it really fun and paints war paint on your face! we went through the jungle where they filmed PREDATOR.

this was us with our war paint all ready to fly!
then it was off to Matzalan or so we thought... apparently people were getting shot there so they cancled that stop and we headed to Cabo San Lucus a day early!
Cabo was my favorite stop i think! we spent the most time at this place. We were able to hop aboard a double decker booze cruise for the day! it was 4 hours of whale watching, snorkling, a stop at lovers beach, lunch and can you imagine AN OPEN BAR! all this for 30 bucks a person!

then it was off to Ensenada where we seen a blow hole like on the movie fools gold! everytime the tide came in water would shoot out of this rock, it was pretty cool and i will post more pictures later! this post is already getting long. then back to sea for 2 days. and home again! I'm glad to be home and glad to be back at work. I missed my bed and my dogs and my house and my friends! it was a fun trip and I am sure i will be ready soon for another vacation but right now I am happy to be back in the same routine!

STRESS

Work= Stress, this is how I have been feeling lately. I am so stressed trying to learn my new job and trying to do everything I should be doing and it is hard! There is always so much to be done, so much to remember, so much to learn, and then so much more work to do! I feel like alot of things have gotten eaiser but with things getting eaiser it seems like more work comes and then it is hard again.

Christmas came and went, and I didn't take 1 picture! lame I know! Christmas eve Chris and I started our first family tradition, We will watch a Classic Christmas movie on Christmas eve every year. It is going to be fun, This year Chris decided to surprise me and watch White Christmas, I had been asking for about a week if we could watch it because I had never seen it and he always found something else to watch so it was fun when we sat down and he turned it on, Thank goodness for DVR no commericals! We spent Christmas morning at home with just our little family and we were both horrible parents and while we were opening our present our 2 forgotten kids just looked at us.. we didn't get them treats or bones or anything! we felt really bad but promised to take them to petsmart the next day. Wonder what would have happened if we had real kids.. I hope we wouldn't forget them! sad!

New Years Eve was one of my favorite days/night! Usually I do not look forward to this day because I haven't had the best New Years Eves in the past, but this year was so low key and relaxing it was a blast! We had Chris' sister and her husband come over and Chris' friend and his girlfriend over and it was nice! we made fun drinks and were in bed before 2! then we woke up and hit the Dillards new years day sales! Last year was so fun and we got amazing deals on cute cruise clothes so I was hoping for the same luck this year, but was very dissapointed! I didn't buy 1 thing!

We have a little over a week before we leave for our cruise and it can't come fast enough! I am ready for warm weather and a nice break from work! plus not having to cook or clean for a whole week is going to be soooo nice! I think we will miss our kids but luckly I know they will be very well taken care of. hopefully I will remember to take lots of pictures so I can post them!
Such cute kids I have!
