Shorty Loves Aaron

Most days I come home from work to this...By work I mean the beach or my busy things. Shorty will just hang out like this for hours. As long as she has her beak on Aaron she feels fine. lil puppy is so cute.

He's Back

Aaron has been gone for the last 2 weeks on a business trip to China and Vietnam....I would be lying if I said I was bored during this time, but I sure did miss him. After Young Womens Camp stuff was complete, I went down and hung out with my family. We went to the pool, beach, and to a sweet time share my dad got right on the beach in Dana Point. So fun! Then I came home in time to clean the house, buy tickets to Alaska (accidently. long story), and take care of my jet lagged husband. I have some good pics to put up, but not on this computer (Aarons). He is next to me playing video games...says it stimulates his mind. I don't know about that..
I miss going to D-land. Here is a pic of Aaron and Bailey. He is so good with kids. it is fun to see him be the best uncle. Which matches perfectly for my attempt at best aunt awards. ha.



We like to eat out...this is one of our date nights.


Aaron got me some gifts from China...These HUGE glasses were included. They are pretty sweet. They are made with crystal glass and they make my head look tiny. But I will still rock them.


Finally, this is a picture of Aaron in China. I think this is the tallest building in the world. Ummmm don't take my word on this. seriously I am probably lying. but it is neat.


Well that is all I have for this random blog. I am happy Aaron is home! and that's that. ..

Life

It has been such a fun week. I got to spend the entire 4th of July week with my family in Vista. It was my little sisters B-day Whoop whoop! Beached it up, tennis, volleyball, a run, just dance, and cuddling with the little babies! I cant wait till the next time Keri and CJ come down to visit. Good times!Heres to my sister being the big 24!!

Here is most of us on our empty beach in Carlsbad. Best 4th EVER! and i am proud because I did not get sunburnt, which led to a great beach week.

How cute is this lil nugget Bailey. She is getting so big and I think I am still her favorite. Im working very hard on it.

On another note, Aaron and I have added a few things to our lil home that make me happy. Item #1- curtains in the bedroom...umm can we say life changer. It is dark and nice. We are working on the bedding situation and the brown everywhere situation, but here they are.

AND we added a new color to our upstairs bathroom. The mustard yellow goes real nice I think. It is really hard to buy lil paintings because I always think "I married the best artist in the world" or "aaron could make this in one hour, why spend money on it?? THis is cheesy I know, but true and I know you agree if you know the man. I gave in and bought these lil paintings at target. I like them for now. Aaron does too, thank goodness.

I Quit

The pharase TO QUIT = to stop, cease, discontinue, to be released from all obligation. This is a phrase I embraced and used for the first time 2 weeks ago. You may wonder why would I do such a thing? The truth behind it is that I feel one should enjoy what they do. Maybe not 100% of the time, but a solid 10% would be acceptable.

I read an article the night before, actually several articles, on reasons to quit and how to do it correctly. A lady named Jamie Varon said that "people who have self-confidence, respect, good teamwork instincts, and a sense of when it's time to cut their losses; these are the people who succeed." Sounded like she knew what was up, so I did it.

What did I get from this? A job offer to teach at the school I just quit from. Super cool. We shall see if it works out. But either way I know I made the right decision. Im livin it up and back on the job search!

Quitting was fun.

I want it vs. I need it

My continuous struggle in life is my wants versus my needs. Aaron and I have been married for almost 6 months and I am still living (partially) out of trash bags. Do not get me wrong Aaron gave up the biggest closet and has given a home to all my belongings...But I think it is time to buckle down and buy a dresser. How do you even go about doing this? We have been everywhere but for some reason both of us are being snobs and want it from fancy places. just dumb.




But, I want to renew my Disneyland pass, and Aarons. SO this is the delema. Buying big things is a struggle for me. In the mean time I have also found a few looks that I want. Or maybe it is a need.


This could be cute in a random corner right? Or maybe it looks like a rug.


I am also excited/nervous that I will be making money now. Maybe I should re-due our bed room like this. Everything in our house is BROWN!!



That is all.

Happy Fathers Day!

Today is the day we celebrate fathers! I am so lucky to have my dad. He is great and can probably beat up your dad. j/k. Aaron will one day make a great father, and I am mainly saying this because I think and know that is makes my dad happy. Love you Pops!

Cheers to fathers!

Employment

The long search comes to an end. I signed the papers yesterday and will begin on the 13th working at Everest College. I am sure you have seen the commercials on tv. I am trying to be optomistic about this experience. I know that it will better my chances of eventually finding a job I really enjoy. So for now I will sit in my cubicle from 9-6 monday through friday. Hello grown up world! Good bye disneyland on wednesdays with my sister and little ones, goodbye cleaning the house daily, gym (its just going to happen), beach days, tv parties and early dinners!
