Guilty Pleasure

I'm not really a big fan of the bubble-gum pop music... but there's just something about this song that makes me dance in the kitchen.  

Enjoy.  (and please don't judge)

Alive & Boring

Hi.  I'm here.  Just boring.  Seriously, my life has been super lame lately.  Usually, I'll be doing something, and I'll think, "hey, I could blog about this!" Well, NONE of that has been happening lately.  Boring = me.  Yup.  Absolutely nothing has been remotely exciting  enough to blog about.  So here we are... and I'm still stuck with the borings, but I'm going to try and get an acceptable post out of my life. Do you guys do Instagram? It's kinda cool I guess.  It's an app that you can edit and share your pictures with.  So I like it.  Especially because I follow a few people who have exciting lives and go to places like Italy and Florida and Japan and stuff.  Well here are some of my instagrams.

I am proof that all of AZ is not desert.  I've lived in AZ my whole life and I've never seen this kind of cactus with flowers.  

Zoey and I went for a walk yesterday.  It was only 91 degrees outside.  After 2.66 miles, she was a little tired and hot.

Did you know Sobe juices don't come in glass bottles anymore? Lame! Well, anyway, this was on my Sobe lid the other day.  It made me feel pretty good about myself.

We got Sam a BBQ grill.  And he taught me how to use it.  I can now grill up a mean chicken breast.  

This one isn't an Instagram, but it's important.  My mom's dog, Coco got bit by a rattlesnake the other day and died.  It was really sad.  Even though she couldn't figure out the doggy door, I really liked that little dog! Well, luckily, the day after Coco died, my mom was able to find a lady selling Shorkie puppies in Casa Grande and so they loaded up Kourtney's suburban and headed down there.  I met them in Casa Grande right when they were picking up the puppy.  Meet Angel.  She's super tiny and cute.  We miss Coco, but we are glad that my mom was able to get Angel.  

March Happened...

I just didn't really get around to blogging about it.  Here are some highlights and not-so-highlights.

• Started off the month right with my birthday! I turned 22 and Sam bought me a Kindle Fire.  I love it.  And I also love Sam (not just because he got me a present - but let's just say I don't love him less for it.)  And unlike last year and the year before, I had no classes or tests to take.  
• I got called to be Relief Society Secretary.  That means I'm not in Primary anymore! I am super excited to be around grown ups again.  Don't get me wrong, the kids in my class were (mostly) good and well behaved, but maybe now I'll actually get to know the people in my ward!
• We went to Joseph City for Founder's Day.  It was the first time I've been since high school I think.  Well let's just say that the fire department's BBQ is not the same without my dad in charge.  But my Grandpa Bushman was being inducted into the JC Hall of Fame, so we braved the yucky beans and watered down punch and listened to a very nice little speech and maybe got a little teary-eyed.
• After the BBQ/hall of fame ceremony thing, We went to Flagstaff to see The Hunger Games with Zach, Kourtney, and Austin.  We had to sit in the second row and I think I experienced a little motion sickness, but the movie was pretty good.  I also lost my ticket and had to show the cashier guy the transaction on my bank app on my phone so they'd let me in the theatre.  Whoops.  Thank goodness for smart phones.
• We are dog-sitting my mom's dog, Coco while they are in Utah visiting Blaine.  She can't figure out the dog door to save her life.  But she has figured out that if she's stuck outside for long enough, Zoey will open it for her.  Teamwork at its finest.  Coco is kind of like a little furry lump that follows me around and then lies down and waits for me to go somewhere else so she can repeat the process.  Here is what is behind me practically anywhere I go.  It's just what she does.

• I went visiting teaching for the first time since we moved into the ward.  I'm really on top of things.  
• I discovered Saved by the Bell is now on Netflix instant streaming.  Life is good.

Bragging Rights

I have always known I picked an awesome husband.  Here are some things he's done lately.

• Washed my car.
• Taken off my toenail polish (the glitter kind that is SUPER hard to get off).
• Paid off the washer and dryer.
• Not made fun of me for crying over silly things.
• Told me he's proud of me when I go running.  Even though I'm really slow.
• Scrubbed the shower until it literally sparkled.
• Got acrylic paint out of the carpet.
• Put an extra blanket on me in the morning before he leaves for work so I don't get cold.

Seriously people, he's the best.  The cat's pajamas.  The bee's knees.  The bomb dot com.

Progress

Hey guess what I did! 

I drew on a canvas.

 Then I painted it.

 Then I painted it a little more.

Now I'm gonna hang it up in my room and call it art.  Because that is what it is.

I've also been doing pretty well at the whole running thing.  I started on January 3rd, and since then I've ran about 33 miles.  Usually I don't get to 6 days a week, but I'm trying.  I have gotten to where I usually run about 2 miles when I go running.  One day last week I ran 3.21 miles.  I was (am still) quite proud of myself.  Maybe I'll actually be able to do the 5k race for Founder's Day in Joseph City!  Hopefully I don't lose my toenail before then (or at all).  Did you know that happens? Some people lose toenails because they run so much!  I hoped it wouldn't happen to me, but the other day my toenail got a little beat up on my run.  It is still hanging on, but I am scared for its life. 

Wow did I really just blog about toenails? Weird... Also, sorry.
