The Awakening!

So over the past couple years I've been in a weird depression.  Leading me to gain a few pounds... its ok I really don't mind that anyone says so because I've come to terms with it.  But instead of thinking about what used to be and what could have been I'm actually finally starting to do something!  So I'm going to get off my butt and get this life into gear and do something good for myself.  


The first thing I'm going to try probably tonight is, "THE 100 WORKOUT" its mostly designed for women but I'm sure men could try it as well.  I head it from a friend on facebook who said that it works pretty darn good so I think I'm going to give it a go.  This is what it is:



  • 100 Jumping Jacks
  • 90 Crunches
  • 80 Squats
  • 70 Leg Lifts
  • 60 Jumping Jacks
  • 50 Crunches
  • 40 Squats
  • 30 Leg Lifts
  • 20 Jumping Jacks
  • 10 Minutes of Running


It sounds very challenging especially since I haven't done most of these workouts since High School but it will be good for me.


Secondly I'm going to "TRY" (Keyword Try) the South Beach Diet with Joel, Sara, and David.  So we can all keep both motivated and accountable!  And also reward ourselves! But that probably won't start until a few weeks because we need some money for groceries and we need the book.  


Lastly Starting Monday Joel and I are going to cut Computers, TV, Internet (Except for Joel's email), and video/movies/tv shows, out for a whole week and find different things to do.  Cause my Mom was right I and Joel do spend too much time on electronic devices!  So I think its about time we start focusing on other things that are better for us emotionally, spiritually, and physically!  


Plus if Joel does get accepted into the Navy I need to be able to take care of myself starting now so I don't spiral into another depression and focus on things that aren't important in life... like the computer!  I'll keep a log about this next week on paper and then possibly write it down later... we'll see!

It was the Best of days it was the Worst of days

This week has been a great week.  On Friday we taught swing dancing and we had a good group of people and everyone was learning pretty fast!  And then after that it was raining and we were headed to a comedy club when the street turned into a river!  No kidding FLASH FLOOD warnings.... They're not Kidding!  Our car barely made it thru it... It almost died a couple times thank goodness Joel was driving!  I would've freaked out so  badly lol! Then we went to Laff's Comedy Club where a friend's Mom performs and we watched them... they were very raunchy but it was quite enjoyable.


Then afterwards we went back to "Our Place" and played Rock Band and just enjoyed our time together.  Got a couple drinks and spent time with friends... I gotta say that this was probably the first Awesome Friday Night Out that I've had in a long time!  It was defiantly nice.


Right now I am home with John, Mike, and John's Niece are here and I am currently both happy and incredibly irritated! I'm happy because John's Niece is cute and I love children and she's defiantly entertaining.  The irritating part is that I tried to show them my Home videos and most of the time no one was really paying attention which was okay until Mike started criticizing every SINGLE LITTLE THING! OMG!  I don't care if its not correct or that its lame and CHEESY!  It's a FLIPPING Child's PLAY!  OMG!  I was about to Slap someone!  I almost told them to get out! Ugggg


But I'm getting them back by making them watch a Cheesy Kid movie!  "Care-Bears" Muahahahaha! I'm too bad! Ha ha ha.  I'm feeling better now.  My venting has gone away.

Sick

First day back and both Joel and I are SICK! Defiantly not what I wanted to come home to.  When Joel gets sick I kinda become his mother in the sense that I take care of everything all day pretty much.  And when I get sick I tend to overdue my abilities and make everything worse mainly cause I hate staying still and I feel bad when people take care of me.


But other than being sick its nice to be home.  I cleaned the kitchen so I feel good about being sick now.  As long as I can accomplish something throughout my day then I can be ok.  I'm super tired though.  Its nice to be home and around friends.  We'll see what happens now that we're back. Sorry I'm very scattered brained!  Can't really think straight.


I think I'm going to cut this short before I start to blabber a little too much!  Hopefully we'll get better!

Family Reunion

Wow this Mini Family Reunion has been a blast.  We had about 19 people here in total and it was a challenge to keep up with everyone.  On Saturday we went to a fancy restaurant called "The Rim" apparently its for rich people! lol And then Sunday we went to a place called "The Water Wheel" and its pretty much a river with natural slides and lots or natural pools to swim in and lots of hiking.  And boy was I tired... I ended up falling on our way back and scraped my knee up a tad.  We also had a huge BBQ with everyone and Jenelle, Kyle, Joel, Jason (Tim's Friend), and myself made a movie spoof based off of Skylight, which we called "BoreLite." 


And now it is Monday and we're relaxing and I'm finishing up the movie so we can watch it later today and probably helping my Grandpa out with a few things at the shop.  He owns and runs a Gun Shop up here in Payson.  


Soon tomorrow will roll around and we'll be driving back to Tucson and getting back to reality.  I sometimes wish I could go back in time and just be a kid for a while.  Enjoying life and living in the moment.  Whenever I came back to this place I have great memories of growing up and being creative making forts and movies.  I never want to leave my childhood.  Its makes me happy but these trips make me sad.  Not because I'm leaving them but because everything is changing and we're all grown up now. Nothing will ever be the same.


Who knows by next year one of us kids could be having a little one of our own.  Or Tim could be getting married and Jenelle and Kyle could be too busy to visit. This may or may not be the last time we will all be here together like this again.  Its a scary but bittersweet feeling.  Change is going to happen whether we like it or not.  But at this moment in time I wish things didn't have to change. I wish this could be the place that never changed and we would always be children running and playing in the woods.  Makes me want to cry just thinking that will never happen again. 


I hope that I'll be able to concieve and give birth to a baby before my grandparents pass away.  My dream is for them to meet their great grandchildren as soon as they can.  So I guess I just have to pray and wait!

Taking A Breather

 Well I was going to post a day or two ago but moving and traveling caused me to put it off for just a little bit.  I have been having a great time lately.  We're finally done moving everything into our new casa and now we're trying to organize and go through everything which is overwhelming but a lot less than moving.
Beautiful September Sunset
Also Joel and I have been talking about the future a lot more and there's a lot that we have in store for us.  Joel is going to sign up for the air-force and try to become a chaplain.  Which I have mixed feelings about.  I love the idea because its a good reliable job Joel could get but idk if I like the whole being a part for months and months at a time.  But if it happened I would be supportive all the way! 
Outside my parent's window
I am currently at my parents place in Payson, Az.  My Aunt Carolyn will be in town for a few days and we haven't seen her in a few years! She's pretty awesome!  She's actually on her way here as we speak so I'm excited.  We are also making homemade sushi which my mom Rocks at making! I made some too for the first time.  Tim my brother is playing video games and I'm relaxing watching at the moment.  
My Horchata

My Aunt Flo showed up today as well which makes me happy!  I can drink some Alcohol! YAY!  I need to release some stress!  lol  So far this month is off to a great start.  Oh and Joel found a gas station that sells Harchata (Rice Milk Drink) for only 79 cents!  So I am defiantly enjoying that!
