ANYWAY ALOT HAS HAPPENED SO IL TRY TO JUST BREAK IT DOWN !<br />
<br />
As you know we were livng in hawaii well that was short lived but it was fun being back for a couple of months to enjoy my home away from home it was quite different with a child and having a husband in school last time we were there me and jay were only dating both working and had free time . Although i did get to go to the beach alot!! and had some mom friends and there was lots of babies but rusty was the youngest and did get beat up alot especially by frank!! so the semester was coming to a close and we had some decisions to make and were running low on cash so we decided to do summer sales which took us all the way to KANSAS yes kansas where dorthy and toto live!! it was quite the experience! jay would work most the day not coming home till 10-12 o clock at night. It was safe to say that me and rusty had alot of time on our hands. We only had a rental because when we moved from hawaii, once again selling our only asset the tundra and leaving mostly everthing in storage and being limited to three bags on an airplane for 4 months is not alot stuff especially with a baby!! So we used the rental car again to buy all new stuff kitcken crib and food. the first couple of weeks were quite boring and i said to myself this is going to be the longest summer of my life and then i met amy and brittney powell the powell girls are sister in laws and both had two children 2 of which were older and 2 who were babies. rusty was smack in the middle and once again was the lil guy always getting bet up and kicked out by the older girls! but these two moms saved my life we hung out every day and had a blast there was a lot of chick-fil-a and parks and of course the farmstead which was actually really cool we went there alot!! summer was moving quite rapidly and it was time for them to go home to utah for a visit for 2 weeks i thought i would die and then i made another friend brook shes pregnant with her first and has a lil dog named waffles(i usually hate lil dogs but this one was cute) so we hung out pool time lots of walmart trips the mall and lots of custard man that custard was good and lets not forget that kansas was on fire!! literally kansas was like a freakin sauna!!! gosh darnit that place was hot there were two weeks were we couldnt even go to the pool because it was so hot poor jay i give him probs i have no idea how he walked door to door in that heat ! there was the occasional er visit for heat stroke oh and the one time he passed out on someones lawn but he was a hard worker and never quite!! so any way me and brook had lots of fun together and its safe to say that it wasnt all bad (oh wait i forgot about the tonando and how we were in some strangers basement for 4 hours...that was bad)I made some life long friends and it was a very big learning experience for our whole family i am glad its over atleast for 8 more months!<br />
So then it was july and my birthday came my sister flew me out to arizona where i had a blast such a neeeded break my mom suprised me and we just chilled all week long saw my good friend ashley and maria pia ate lots of yummy food hit the pool and and laughed and cried together it was just what i needed!! my sister is so amazing i felt so at home and we had a blast at the roller rink we always go when i go to see her in arizona,and im not gonna lie were pretty good at it!. As kids we used to put on disney sound tracks and "figure skate" in the driveway we have some tricks up our sleeves and we still got all the right moves!!.<br />
So summer came to an end and we found out that we did not get into tva which is married student housing at byuhawaii so we decided to make our journey back here to utah pretty much full circle 2 years later we are here and enjoying it we moved to bountiful and have a cute lil condominium and a new car and our lil family. We have moved alot sold all our furniture our car so once again starting from scratch you think we would learn ha! its been an adventure and at times its been hard but i feel like hopefully we are learning from our mistakes making memories and growing!<br />
<br />
Other things that have happened<br />
*Rusty turned 1<br />
(he is huge heavy and very busy, i would say this is the funnest age i love it so much hes just my lil buddy and is sooo dang cute)<br />
*me and jay had our 2 year anniversary<br />
*we all celebrated our birthdays in july<br />
*we bought our first car<br />
*i flew back to hawaii and got the rest of our stuff (it was the first time i ever left rusty.. it was awsome a great mini v cation but i was ready to see him after 5 days!!!)<br />
*I live only 1 minute away from mini hill its very exciting!!<br />

font-size: large;">Well I guess you could say that the beginning of last week went a lil like this......sucky...first off monday night ended in our first visit to the ER with lil boogie man, which i would never say is a nice or good experience with your first newborn child. Well hes 4 months now so i can consider him a baby. Anyway The day started out not to bad but he was very sleepy which wasnt exactly normal he usually likes to have some play time so i ignored it and went about my day. J got home and it was time for me to go to work. So i get dropped of im doing my normal you know making my client look beautiful. I get a call from J i normally dont answer but i did, to a very panicked daddy on the other line could hardly make out words and then herd im coming in and we need to take him to the emergency room as they entered my work a very sleepy baby with throw up pretty much drenching his onsie. Supposedly projectile vomit which ended up on the back of seat as well as all over his car seat.We changed him he started going to sleep again and look very drowsey that scared me so better to be safe then sorry and being so late at night we took him to the e.r. We told them what happened and they said he would need an iv!!.. what an iv i thought in my head(thats gonna be fun..NOT)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and an xray of his stomach for a muscle that might be forming there causing all the throwing up. So are lil man being as strong as he is, needed 3 nurses and a good papa holding him down. I dont think me and J have ever been so traumatized yikes! That was heartbreaking seeing him scream bloody murder and seeing him in so much pain i gently stroked his head and tryed to tell him it was gonna help him.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iiT6Vggzc8o/TsqZeUAo9hI/AAAAAAAAAOs/rjFamqB3zQ4/s1600/IMG_0551.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iiT6Vggzc8o/TsqZeUAo9hI/AAAAAAAAAOs/rjFamqB3zQ4/s320/IMG_0551.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> The nausea medicine they gave him helped him go to sleep, they took the xray and came back and said that they see something and that now he need to get an ultrasound and if the ultrasound came back positive that he would have to immediatley be taken to a different hopital for surgery. Oh goody this is just getting awsome just the thought of that made me and j start crying. So as we went into the ultra sound of course rusty awoke to a strange lady putting this weird goo and big machine on his stomach. He just started kicking and screaming and this lady could not get a clear shot. At this time it had been 6 hours since he had not eaten so i tried to feed him a lil to calm him down. J gave him a blessing right there to either heal him or get a clear shot. She did she got 2, so back to our room we went and waited. and waited. and waited. They finally came back to negative results .RELEIF!!!!So we went on our way he slept like a baby that night poor lil man.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> Well the next day he seemed really out of it still so we had are bishop help J give him another blessing. Things were seeming good after he went to bed. I sorta felt a lil nauseated but was so tired i ignored it. So we all went to bed Rusty woke up crying at 1230 yay. I woke up to help him to find myself running to the bathroom to use the um well restroom if you know what i mean.I told j he needed to help rusty cuz i couldnt he was trying to calm him down but wasnt working. So when i was done i went to try to help j to fing my self runnning back to the bathroom to this time throw up. Really double duty this has surely never happen to me before jay was running back in forth from russ's room to my new best friend the toilet(I can laugh now but then i felt like i would die). this lil game went on for two hours the thing that made it even worse is that yes rusty cried that whole time it was caose!So i went to bed with my bucket and rusty finally fell asleep with dady in the bed. So about and hour and a half goes by to find myself awake to the same miserable thing here we go again for round 2....and then round 3 before i finally had J give me a blessing i was able to sleep till about 9 thank you rusty for sleeping in. For once again round 4. Thank you for answered prays when i awoke i had to feed rusty really how do moms do this i want to be the sick one and get pampered.No not in the life of a mom, J woke up to find he couldnt get out of bed with the flu. . I called my neighbor because i literally had no energy to hold rusty she took him for a while while my other angel friend went to the store for me and j for some much needed necessitys . I prayed for strength to get through the day. I had to do laundry to clean sheets blankets and towels to get rid of this devil thing. I sprayed disinfectant in every corner of our house. The missionaries came over to now give j a blessing he ended up sleeping most of the day while i took care of the laundry and had to pick rusty back up. 4 o clock rolled around only to find j running to the toilet to now finally throw up.So as you can see we have had a fun couple of days. I will testify the power of the priesthood its a powerful tool that is such a blessing from are heavenly father. The last several months have been a challenge for are family but through the prayer and priesthood i really have felt the love and strenghth from my heavenly father! Im so thankful for a religion that has the full truthfulness! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> Luckily on fri a family friend was able to watch rusty for like 5 hours the longest we had ever left him me and jay had a blast we watched twilight</span><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">THE STORY</span>:</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Well It all began about the 11th I had braxton hicks and cramps for about a day and the next day I lost my plug I knew it was coming close ...but every one and there mother told me" in your dreams every one on there first baby goes late" But I knew my body and also knew that my mom and sister also had fast labors so that day I ended up sleeping all day long(GOOD THING). That night at about 4 o Clock I was having a dream ..the dream was me my mom, dad ,my brother and sister and Jay were all playing at the beach we were all in the water playing in the waves, I was walking the edge of the water and told everybody they needed to get out!! My mom said she was having to much fun then a huge tsunami wave came and my mom told every one to run back in the water to duck dive the tsunami wave haha so we did and all got plastered we all came up and then all of a sudden I woke up and my water broke instantly! I don't mean just a lil bit of water It was like the whole thing so i tried to stay calm ......jay took some sleeping pills that night and had ear plugs in and was so out of it....so I Gently rubbed his arm and said honey my water broke ...He said what..I said my water broke He popped up and yelled"what theres water in the bed!" I said no my water broke! so he jumped out of bed I called my midwife she sounded half asleep she told me i should stay home because first time labors last for hours she said i could come in but expect to go back home...Well I knew my body and I told her we were coming in to be safe ..so we took showers jay gave me a blessing and we got are bags and left its a 45 min drive to salt lake and my contractions were starting to become very intense!! We got there and I was admitted they were asking me all sorts of questions and trying to give me Iv because i had an infections so i needed pencillin so rusty wouldnt get it they kept telling us our midwife was on her way it felt like an eternity my contractions were getting even stronger and right on top of each other. She finally came and clarified my water did break well DUHHHHHH and so they said we could go into our room. From the start we had decided I wouldn't have an epidural so we had learned some techniques at our class we went to. I instantly Got into a hot tub...I pretty much moaned through my contractions to get through them I maybe had 30 seconds to 45 second break in between my contractions jay was a great coach he would rub my back through them I couldn't look or talk to anyone I started to moan extremely loud and they were starting to get unbearable ..so my midwife said she would check to see where I was at after an hour in the tub she checked me and I was at a 9!!! thank goodness I still was getting no breaks and felt a strong urge to push!! she said why don't we get you on the bed..and that it was a good thing we came in ....UH YEAH HELLO ......so I got onto the bed and she said I could start pushing through my contractions .I really cant describe the feeling of pushing...ITS JUST KNARLY!! through the contractions all i can say is that I don't think you can say your a women until you have given birth !!!!!!!!! through each contraction I would push I was pushing as hard as I could there was a lil piece of cervix around his head so she massaged it till his head was completely uncovered I pushed and pushed I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere ...I pushed so hard that I popped blood vessels in my eyes and broke a capillary in my nose one of my pushes blood just shot out from my nose all over my stomach.When they say the savior bled from every poor ...I now know it can truly happen I was pushing so hard that every poor in my face broke open so if you can notice in my picture my face is a lil purple thats why I have all these purple dots all over my face ...I really cant understand these chicks who have the pictures looking so pretty with there babies in the hospital...ahah that def not me! anyway, my contractions would stop and i would have to push after through no contractions they finally said his head was coming!!!!!! jay was so encouraging and i just kept on apologizing to the nurses for sounding like a wounded cow that was dying...thats really what i sounded like, I was so in the zone that there was just one thing on my mind GET HIM OUT..I started to cry a lil bit, I had been pushing so hard that my eyes were swelling shut......finally after an hour he was on my chest!!!!!!! It was the most surreal feeling ever I felt so much releif it was finally over and it was still only 8:20 in the morning!!! praise to all you women who are in labors for 20 hours barffffff ! I could barley see him cuz my eyes were so swollen but I felt like the luckiest girl in the world!!....Lil rusty man is such a lil mumchkin head he def looks like daddy(lots of dark hair) but has my lips and my fat cheeks and I think my eyes there BLUE now and hopefully they wont change!!! OUr family has been awesome I have had so much help I don't know what il do without them or how ppl have a newborn with multiple children its a full time job....breast feeding is an interesting thing I feel like I instantly got a double D boob job I walk around all day with no shirt on cuz i literally cant have anything touch them ouch this hurts but I love that im giving my baby the nutrients he needs.....its a really cool feeling and its so instinctive for them It was so crazy that rusty could feed only 15 min after he cam out!!All I can say is womens bodies are truly amazing and I wouldn't want it any other way ...</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I LOVE BEING A MOMMY!!!</span></span></b><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>Well wher</b></span>e <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b> do I even Begin??? If I was better at updating I wouldn't have to fit so much in in one blog!! So Im going on my 34th week and me and jay are definatley feeling are nerves.....for so long It didn't seem like lil rusty was really coming, But my doctor informed me that from working so much Im starting to dilate and thin out already I was supposed to take more time to rest but are lives have been so crazy that I havnt had time to relax and let rusty grow ....My last doctors apt rusty didn't get bigger and I had lost some weight so with preterm labor signs are anxiety has shot out the roof! We moved to a new apt in draper it has two bedrooms and rusty has his own room now are apt is a lot bigger and in a great neighborhood! We have an awesome trail which we have only gotten to walk once together and are ward is full of great members who are eager to love and serve us we feel really blessed. Jay started school two weeks ago and is trying to get back in the swing of things from having a two month break. All my clients have seem to come all at once so I have been working a lot. Trying to get are new place set up hanging with friends for birthday dinners, and date nights while being in a new environment. The stress of the baby that could really come at any time and the other ordinary everyday life has made life interesting and stressful! I understand why we always have general conference talks on slowing are life down so we have time to hear and feel the spirit to help us! My grandma hannah honey passed away this week and my parents will be driving up to have a burrial in logan ut where she will get to be next to the love of her life bill!! Im so excited for her she will be missed but much happier on the other side being able to watch out for us and help our family through lifes trials. She was a really faithful women and she wanted me to have her ctr ring which she wore everyday on her pinky finger...It made me feel special and I hope I will be able to carry some of her faith with me as we bring a new baby into our family and add a whole new feel of stress of learning how to take care of our lil spirit and the pressure to teach him faith in the gospel!I have been thankful for prayer in the last couple of weeks ,It has given are family faith to press forward in faith not fear.Im sure me and Jay will be ok just like other new newlyweds that have babies in the mix of school and work we will figure it out with the lord! Hopefully Rusty will say in a lil longer so he can get real chunky!!</b></span><br />

It was so nice to get away from work and school and cold......Since we never got a honey moon and baby rusty will be here in 10 weeks we needed to have a lil get away something that probably wont happen just the two of us till were in our 40's ...hopefully not that long but you never know..and we got to FLY. When the flight attendant got on and said we were descending I was like are you serious that was soooo short we would have barely been outside Nephi if driving. We were clearly loving life we got off the plane in long beach....sunny Praise the lord ahhhh it felt so good !! Jays grandparents who are amazing ppl picked us up and took us to a hardy breakfast we had many of those that week!! we spent the week at his aunts and uncles house in whittier they have a sick house with a pool.....even with a lil bit of a burn still you know I was laying out every chance I got!! The sun Gods really shined on us that week every time we went to the beach It was warm sunny and beautiful the water didn't feel that bad either!!!<br />

So I have a pretty funny/sad story those who all know me know I love the sun and I can be a lil tanerxic. Although I now live in utah ....my skin has gotten disgustingly white (yuck), apparently I have been in denial and thought I was a little tanner than what I was.The only sunny day that has really come aound here it was probe 70 degrees and I wasn't gonna pass this opportunity up!!!! so i took me and my pregnant belly down to our pool without sunscreen who needs it right I mean I tan so well and have olive skin "who needs it I thought". Gosh it was soooooo nice the warm sun touching my body I laid out read magazines dozed off I was in Heaven I could clearly see a Tan line so I was stoked!!! It felt like the best day of my life! Jay picked me up and i came home I took off my romper ......Jaw drops "babe you are soooo red" no way I thought maybe a lil pink .Oh NO I was RED, RED as in REEDDDD! omg the burn instantly came all over the front of my body obviously I couldn't turn over the whole time just the front of me . As the hours passed my red got redder and my skin felt like it was literally on fire . All the years this skin has seem some damage but never like this my friend brought over some can of burn spray it helped a lil i was soo restless that night we put an ice pak on my belly luckily my back side was completely normal ha. After 3 home remedies of a vinegar oatmeal bath, a call in panic to my midwife thinking i was frying lil rusty inside ,days of being so uncomftorable.and a week of peeling im fine:)<br />

</div>Ok these are sorta awkward pictures...but lets be honest who likes taking these fat belly picture anyways??? I know I don't! But I have had many complaints about how I have not posted any yet...So heres a couple Im waiting for jay to get home Im trying really hard not to eat the dinner I made..Im trying to wait for him to get home but I feel like gnawing at this table Im so hungary!! So im trying to keep myself occupied by blogging, or else I would have had him take the pictures!. So Im 26 weeks already YAY one more week and I will be in my 3rd trimester already yesssssssssss! I will not lie this last trimester.... semester...quarter whatever you want to call it..the last 12 weeks have went by pretty slow..barf but I feel time kicking in high gear now thank goodness!! Were so excited for rusty to come he's been doing lots of summersaults lately...I try to tell him to take it easy but Jay keeps telling me how I shouldn't encourage him to be lazy and that he needs to train in his liquid gym! If this kid has half the energy that jay does I fear im in big big trouble!!! Any ways besides all his movements I feel great ! Just working , and trying to work out. I've resorted to doing p90x leg workouts because something funky is going on with my thighs.......fat!!!!! yuck so im trying to work it off! the elliptical was just not cutting it. I know it does seem a lil extreme but Im quite paranoid I feel like my legs were my one good feature .......I think rusty likes it when I do p90x he really gets a move on in there!!!<br />
<br />

The ultra sound definatley made this a whole lot more real than ever! he's perfectly healthy he doesn't weigh a pound yet but im sure he will soon....he's a very active lil booger he"s always doing twists and turns and punches its the coolest thing ever feeling him all day long! he's very alive at night which i hope he doesn't make to routine!! We picked a name already were gonna name him russel lee merrifield and call him rusty for short its fun finally giving him a name we talk to him and its cool to put a name to this lil thing growing inside me! were going to california in a month to have a baby shower jay is gonna make him a crib with his grandpa so that will be cool and of course i wanted it to be a pirate ship but it will probably just have to be a normal crib for now we really don't have room fror a pirate ship to fit in are closet seeing as how thats the only place we have to store him hhahah but im sure we will still try to make it as piraty as possible his lil corner in the closet! My belly is finally getting bigger i have gained around ten pounds so far and boy can i feel the weight when im working! i get really tired on my really long days at work doing hair..im praying that i wont get to big...not only cause gaining weight is not fun but because i need to work till the very end of my pregnancy! i have a pretty bad sphyatic pintch on my left side and that doesn't feel to good i can only imagine how it will feel as my belly starts growing rapidly.The lil guy only weighs not even a pound yet so i have 19 weeks left and he will be around 7-8 pounds yikes !!! But i love being pregnant its such a miracle and were stoked for are lil guy!!<br />

<br />
<br />
ok ppl.....this is supposed to happen in the third trimester ....so i thought! no sleep every night i wake up any where from 2:48- 3:00 in the morning and for any one who knows me i need atleast 10 hours so this has become a lil annoying obviously nothing i cant deal with. Its either i don't have enough pillows, or to many ,im too cold then im too hot, then im having those stretching growing pains in my side down my leg, no matter how long my work day is or how exhausted I am i still cant get a full nights rest not to mention the 6 or 7 times i get up to go peee ahhhhh! the "sea monkey as we have been calling the he/she is definatley getting bigger!!! its exciting to finally see my belly grow as im HALF WAY THERE.... this has gone by sooo fast! i love to feel sea monkey do summer saults or try to do mma moves on me as jay likes to call it! i know later im sure it will hurt its just not quite big enough yet! Me and jays new past time is to watch this show called' one born every minute'.. its about women who give birth its soooo entertaining jay laughs at all the women who scream and just are completely out of control!!! i keep telling him he better watch out cause i just might be one of them!! Although he try's to act like Mr. tuff guy i have caught him crying at least twice during the show!!! jays really a big softy and cant wait to become a DAD! The baby can hear us talk and feel our touches so at night to fall asleep i love holding my little belly!!.......Since i finally have a bump and im blonde and feel cute again we will post a picture of me....Im the worst picture taker ever i wish i was like my friend shira who is more like a chinese tourist...she takes pictures of everything!!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-qxanrUCHNZk/TXVDL0C9HLI/AAAAAAAAAGw/4hJXW0O9FU4/s1600/Unknown-1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-qxanrUCHNZk/TXVDL0C9HLI/AAAAAAAAAGw/4hJXW0O9FU4/s1600/Unknown-1.jpeg" /></a></div> <br />
Now that the baby is growing I want to eat EVERYTHING!!!! im just hungery all the time my new favorite craving is Hot cheetos with lime (which i have never liked) besides my craving hot cheetos and the picture of really bad food i still eat healthy too.. i don't want you thinking all i eat is junk! although a good juicy burger sounds good hahaha!! i have been feeling great while getting regular exercise and pretty much being able to do everything i was before i was pregnant! I've been really lucky!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
BOY OR GIRL ........what will it be??? 11 more days and we will have the answers!<br />
<br />
Are trip to CALIFORNIA was a success like i said i was gonna take tons of pictures....umm i lied i just forget! but we had a blast catching up with friends feeling the sunshine in san diego before the rain. Bethany's wedding was amazing and i loved seeing my boo and all my roomates from hawaii we had a sleep over and jay was a trooper! he sat in the corner while me and my girlfriends laughed and had girl talk which we all know as girls can be ridiculous!! we saw my parents and were able to hang out with them!! But the only thing was we were soooo sick it just so happened we caught the bug three days earlier we were sleep deprived seeing as how we got in at 3 0 clock thursday night got three hours of sleep and went to san diego for the wedding that next morning.Then the next night i got maybe 5 cuz of the slumber party and to say the least i lost it the next day i had like an emotional crying break down cuz i just couldn't keep up i wanted so badly to hang out with some of our closets friends but i needed to recover so we spent the rest of the time at jays aunt house where i was fed like i was a queen:)and slept and probably my favorite part was reading in the sun by the pool!! ahhhh my skin just needs the sun and moisture !! then it was the 10 hours back home the next day...hopefully we will be able to go one more time in may for a baby shower and some real relaxation with our friends and family!!<br />
heres the only pictures i took sorry!<br />

Anyway Im lexy and im married to Jay We just got married and moved to south jordan UTAH! I told my mom that I would never move here ever again and welp I think that, that backfired! Ahah but its ok cuz were acttualy really liking it we miss are friends from hawaii and the beach but you cant have it all! Im getting really excited for the snow and it is currently hailing as we speak! I think its coming soon. Jay is gonna go to school in January he's really excited and so am ....cuz he's working this job that well just got worse cuz the weather really crapped out, he's been going door to door...but NOT selling anything he like to clarify that! anyway it will be good when he's doing something that he's excited to start. I am currently working in a salon called Great Looks and its a place where I can make your looks great! Haha well i started at a place called sojo and they were cool but i got no walkins and being in a place where i don't know anybody that was not helping. So I got this new job and its working out a lot better i get walkins and it reminds me of the haircut store so i feel right at home and all the girls that work there are really nice to me! So if you live in utah and need your hair done feel free to book your appts now!!<br />
<br />
So were really liking married life its been really fun to get my wife powers I mean im really good at cleaning not so much at cooking every time I bake cookies there either to hard or to gooey than theres the gravy thats more like a science class than I thought although my mom did say that its an art that takes time so that makes me feel better!!! Jay's pretty good at cooking, but as you all know jay he's pretty intense and it is the same way in the kitchen so i really try to stay out of the way! Other than that we watch a lot of movies .......a lot we don't do much we haunt found a ton of friends yet so were getting fat and lazy......and the cycle begins just kidding ...sorta but utah is a very beautiful state especially when it snows and the whole valley is white ......its pretty cool were pumped to go snowboarding ...if we have the funds. I guess Il just keep you posted im really not sure how long I have to wait to make another post but im sure Il catch on... and Il try to post more pictures i know everyone likes those!!!<br />
