Holy Moses

I took a bit of a hiatus (I guess that's how you spell it because there was no red under squiggle).

Here is a recap of our summer:

Brazil April 25-May 10 was incredible. I loved getting to know Michael's grandma so much. 2 weeks was the right amount of time, because we had seen all we wanted to see and were ready to go home. But, it was terribly hard to say goodbye to Grandma Dora. I have beautiful pictures that I am far too lazy to post on here, but I'm pretty sure that Michael has them on facebook... along with our wedding pictures. Apparently I'm lazy on here and at posting pics on facebook.

Oregon end of May was also incredible. Michael had started his job already and couldn't take time off and as luck would have it I had 6 weeks until school started for summer term and also NO JOB (which is awesome by the way, I don't every want to work full time again, but I'm assuming I'll have to; again, lazy) so I decided to go home and visit my mommy and daddy and brothers. I brought my fluffy, Titus, with me (he is now a public figure on the good ol' fb - go "Like," him!) and he made best friends with Becker and Bella, my parents huge dogs. It was such a fun trip and I cannot wait to move back to Portland. Especially now that our great friends Matt and Steph are moving there this coming week (we are excited for them and also sad they're leaving).

School started June 20 and it seemed as if it has flown by. I am on my last week! Finals are a week from today, thank goodness. I will finally have this chemistry crap behind me. Do you know I have been taking it for frigging almost every semester for the past 2 years? SO GLAD it will be over in one week. I'm sort of a putz at that sorta thing. You would think that it would be really beneficial to like, have a chem engineer as your husband, but it's horrible for our relationship if he tutors me. I get really angry when I do chemistry. Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde angry.

The only thing I haven't been lazy about is Zumba, it is the best thing that has happened to me since Michael and Apollo Burger (which is arguably the worst thing that has happened to me as well).

This was more of an update, I know I left out major details, like the awesome time I had with Michael's family this weekend and that I miss my friend Andrea and my other friend Melissa and my other friend Heather dearly.

K love you byyyye.

I am le cheap.

Guys, I've got massive holes in the crochital/thigh region of my pants because my chubby legs rub too much when I walk. My friend Cassie said that happens to her a lot more now because it seems that all the pants now days have like the stretchy spandex in them and it makes them easier to wear down. So that will be my story and I will stick to it.

My plan for now however, is to buy black and blue jean patches (because I have TWO pants that this has happened to). I really would love to by new pants and new clothes, but I also really want to lose weight and I don't want to drop a ton of money, only to drop a ton of lbs and then have to buy new clothes all over again. I'm not sure who I'm kidding though, because I've been saying that for like 5 years.

That's not tacky though is it guys? I don't think so, and no one will know besides my couple followers on this here blog. But don't tell anyone or anything, I don't want rumors getting started that I have crotchless jeans, because A. they aren't crotchless they just have holes near the crotch and B. they won't even have holes in them because I am about to patch them.

Lady Gaga is this weekend guys, and I so coulda gone, but then Michael got sick and I spend way too much on groceries including medicine he makes dissappear in the blink of an eye which is not cheap. I also forgot we had like ya know, bills and stuff and also forgot that Michael bought 50 dollar pair o cleats for football. So I'm like debating on donating/selling my plasma to go, but not really at all. I tried that once and it was horrible.

Anyway, I have greek yogurt and berries to eat and work to do.

Sincerely,
Broke.

OH! BTDubs!

I rocked the Rex Lee Run! Ana, my awesome cousin, pushed me really hard (even though I probably didn't look like I was going a speed that said, "Wow she's really cruisin, she must be workin hard) and I beat last year's time by 3 whole minutes!

Go me :)

I know I've been talking about this a lot but...

I'M GOING TO BRAZIL NEXT MONTH! AAAAAAH!

I'm way too excited you guys. However, I have GOT to learn how to take good pictures! I thought my cool blog would be motivation enough, but unfortunately it's not! (Although I do want you guys to see awesome pictures.) My friend Afton, from Michael and I's first married student ward, takes awesome pictures and it's not always of people. She got these cook little hand sanitizers from Bath & Body Works and arranged them all cute and took a picture. Then, there was another post that showed everything she got for her big trip to Europe, nothing too extravagant, but still so cute! Her blog is my blog muse, and unfortunately, I'm making her blog look bad.

Now Michael is "sicker than a dog." Poor guy was up like all last night coughing. I have no idea how I'm going to handle being a mom, if I feel this bad for my full-grown adult husband is this sick and I can't do anything for him. It's going to be even worse for a baby, or a kid.

I just won a free bagel from Einsteins, woot!

Busy busy!

Man, we've had stuff to do every weekend for the past 3 weeks! No biggie because I like being busy, but sometimes I just want to do nothing :)

We have stuff going on this coming weekend too, my BFF Andrea's birthday is on Friday and I'm trying to figure out what to get her, and I think I have an idea, but I'm not going to say because I think she reads my blog. But, I could be wrong. Then Brent's birthday is on Saturday and we are going to Layton! Woo hoo! We haven't seen the Cazinhas in forever! I know what we're getting for Brent and he knows what we're getting him too, it's the new Lupe Fiasco CD.

I also have the BYU Rex Lee run this weekend... which I haven't trained for very diligently, and that's partially due to coming down with the plague a couple weeks ago and also partially due to I'm lazy. But, hey, should be fun right?

Guys, we're going to Brazil NEXT MONTH! I can't wait... I just hope Michael's grandma doesn't say I'm fat in Portuguese thinking I can't understand her but I totally can understand the word "fat," in Portuguese. I hear that it's pretty common for foreign people to just state the obvious, but what if I don't want to hear the obvious?

Anyway, that's that!

Sicker than a dog.

What does that even mean? Are dogs really sick? At any rate I feel like crap. Every morning I've woken up with gunk in my throat and then coughing up huge green chunks in my shower. If you think I'm going to ask to take time off during month end, I'd tell you "Remember that time you asked your parents if you could go party with your pals on a school night? Oh that's right you didn't because you knew the answer would be, 'No.'" I hate stuff right now.

I have successfully ruined 2 of my 3 good Under Armour work out pants during this wally ball season. I have to settle for the thin, crappy $20 pair of Adidas capris from Costco, which are cute, but in no ways as good as my 2 retired pairs of capris.

Kinda down in the dumps this week guys, not gonna lie. Which I'm sure is already pretty obvious because I've just been complaining the whole time. But seriously, I just wanna get away; I miss my mom, I miss my dad, I miss my brothers and I miss my two best friends Heather and Melissa.

The end.

Team Admiral Ackbar

Go us! We have a wallyball game tonight! For those of you that don't know what wallyball is, it's volleyball played in a racket ball court. It's really fun! The dimensions are a lot smaller though so it makes it kinda tough. Team Admiral Ackbar is going to blow em outta the water. I still think though that The Onions, is a great team name, and have thought that since I was 13. "The Onions?" you ask. To which I respond, "Yeah losers, because we're going to make you cry." Michael said The Onions sucks because you could say, "Yeah, because we stink." To which I respond again, "Yeah sucker, cuz we're so sweaty from mopping the floor with you sacks of crap."

Today it's not cold, it is FUH-REE-ZIN-GA. 12 outside. 12! My fingas don't want to typey because they can't bend because it's so cold. Quick, everyone feel sorry for me!

Anyways, I has to go, work is almost over! YUS!

Bye.
