It's been awhile, but I blame never wanting to get on my laptop. If I could blog on my phone I'd do it all the time. Well, lot's has happened the past few months. I purchased my first condo which I love. I'm planning to do a video walk through and I'll post it. It's a little scary now being an adult with a mortgage, but I'm really excited about it. I also went on another trip this time to Hawaii. My friend Lidia got married on the beach there, again one day I'll post pictures. Speaking of marriages, Chalice and Blake finally got married too. I was also able to go through the temple and be there for it, which was a good experience. Recently I've adopted a dog, his name is Baxter and he's a bichon frise (I think that's how it's spelled). Besides that I think everything else is the same.
What a day! I feel typing this out will help me feel better so here goes and I'm not going to edit it this will be my spit everything out post. So, the amazing vacation with the cruise, day in Disneyworld and layover in New York is coming up on Saturday. Everything is scheduled and ready to go as far as when I'll pack, get laundry done, all of that. Well, today Marne emails saying we probably won't make our flight from SLC to JFK. Did I mention we decided to fly standby...keeping in mind we need to make the cruise by Sunday? Well, it's a risk we took because it was so cheap. AFter probably 127 emails back and forth anywhere from calling in sick tomorrow and driving to Long Beach to catch a flight, to just driving to Vegas. Well, we decided on the flight from Vegas to JFK then Orlando. After more discussion, we decided to not chance driving the 6 hours and just fly down there. Well, that's been officially booked so now our trip will entail flying to Vegas, then New York, then Orlando, cruising to the Bahamas staying in Orlando for two days and going to Disneyworld flying back to New York and spending the day there and finally back home..all in a week. HOpefully the only stress will be what came today and the rest will be peaceful and relaxing although it is fun now having quite an adventure.

Bahamas cruise in 52 days. Debating if I should Google how to lose 50 pounds in 6 weeks or how to feel skinny and rock it in a fat body...this thought process started with swimsuit shopping. Maybe I'll just wear jeans and sweatshirts the entire time. Also, for the record, I'm more excited for the one day we'll be spending in Disney World after the cruise then the four days on the cruise and in the Bahamas and yes you can quote me on that, that is all.
I feel like some weeks, the only thing keeping me going is knowing I have the weekend. And because of that I try to have a good mix of relaxing yet entertaining things going on. This week I was just so tired. I got home Friday and literally felt I could have fallen asleep at 7:00. But that was not an option. Me and Sam decided to keep it low key and since we had a baby-shower the next day went to Babies-R-Us for the gift. Now I'm not sure how many childless people read this (well let's be honest I'm not sure how many people in general read this) but have any of you childless people ever stepped foot in there? Well, in my entire life I never have. Of course I've seen the baby aisle at Walmart and even Toys R Us and I thought we were just walking into a slightly bigger selection then that. No, no it was like the size of a normal Toys R US, let's just say I walked out of there very traumatized for all the items needed for a baby. I think I pushed back what was already something in the very, very distant future after that small trip. We then watched a Red Box movie and called it a night. Saturday was the nice mix of productive and relaxation. I decided to get my behind out of bed by 8:00 to hit the gym. I told myself if I did that I didn't have to feel guilty if I wanted to watch movies the rest of the day. I was home alone and still had two movies left from the Red Box. The next thing I'm about to say, please don't judge. I was not a believer before and made fun of people that have turned into me. Well, I'll just say it. I watched the Justin Bieber movie...not once..but twice and actually enjoyed it, well obviously. I even cried three different times during it. I know, I know. I've already given myself the lecture. No worries, this isn't to the extent of Kyle Korver and never would be, I can now just see where everyone is coming from. Later tonight me and Sam went to the baby shower and after that I went with a group of friends up the canyon for a bonfire and hotdog/marshmallow roast. It made me very excited for summer nights. It was good temperature with a jacket, the moon was pretty and magical hearing the roar of what is supposed to be a small creek, now turned river. During the winter I forget how wonderful summer is, especially at night when it stays lighter for longer and you don't have to worry about driving home in the snow, I'm definitely excited. Well, that's been my weekend so far, we will see what Sunday brings.
Have you ever wondered if one small decision changed the entire course of your life? I've been reflecting over this a lot lately. Even little things like if I had said this or done that, maybe one misunderstanding wouldn't have turned into some huge fight that led to relationships falling apart. I also wonder, is it a good thing or would I have been better off if it didn't happen. I'm a huge believer and always will be in things working out in the end, but what if the end would have put me in a more ideal situation if the original misunderstanding hadn't happened in the first place. Anyway, just some of my thoughts tonight. I'm pretty sure no one on the planet Earth will even understand this post I barely know what I'm talking about, but it felt good typing it out. That is all, goodnight.
1. Me and Marne are currently sitting in almost the exact same position, with almost matching computer, blogging about pretty much the same thing.
Another first, I can finally put my hair in a ponytail. I'm pretty sure it's been years since this was last accomplished. Anytime in the past it started getting long, I would get sick of it and cut it, but I've finally let it grow out a little. I know it's barely there, but hey its a start. 
Well, here's to hoping this is the first winter I don't catch a cold (I can't say get sick because I got the fun stomach virus, but I have yet to catch a cold)Lately I've been doing soo good with my money (minus that Jazz game...and my tax return helped quite a bit) I've finally been able to pay things off/down and feel I'm in a good position. With that though there's only so many things you can cut before it's too much. I think I've hit that with my wardrobe. I honestly can't remember the last time I bought an article of clothing (I'm choosing not to include shoes with this) I'm even bringing this up because I think I've hit my breaking point, where there's only so many things I can wear in my closet. On top of the fact most of them no longer fit, I think I need a major shopping spree this weekend. I've also been trying to dejunk and sell things I don't need, maybe that will help this new found clothing budget need... if only I liked to go shopping, that would probably help things out a little. If only I allowed myself this little spending spree to get a new iPad...
I had the amazing opportunity to go to last weeks Jazz vs Bulls game with Shelley. Since my husband was playing we decided to go all out and get lower bowl seats. To our luck we found a pretty good deal on Row 10, just up from the Jazz bench. Little did we know what a game it would be. Sadly, we lost although Kyle played a good game. But the bigger story of the night was it ended up being Jerry Sloans last game. The next day he resigned. I'm sure knowing that people would have paid triple for the tickets. Whatever the reason, I'm very sad to see him go but he was a great coach and I'll miss seeing him. Of course I got some pictures at the game.
Anyway, it was an awesome night. Now only if the Jazz could get out of this funk they seem to have gotten themselves into...
Another week has come and gone. It's funny now that I don't have semesters to break up my year it seems to go by pretty fast and there's very little difference to whether it's February or September except maybe the temperature. I decided to do a post on what did KayCee do this weekend.
I'm not really sure what to write honestly, kind of sad I know. I just felt like typing what came to mind and seeing where the post went. I'm going to the Jazz vs. Bulls game on Wednesday, we have row 10 tickets and I couldn't be more excited. I also applied for a mortgage loan on Friday. It's been an on/off thought for awhile now. I decided to just apply to see if I'd even qualify, we will see what pans out from it. I made Valentines/heart cookies this weekend. I wonder why my weight loss doesn't work out, then I look at the kitchen and see. My foot still isn't better, I really should have it looked at again but that's prevented me from running and seriously set me back with things. I've decided for the time being to give up on boys. Remember those toys as kids where it was a block with shapes cut out and you had little wood shapes where you were supposed to fit them in the holes cut out? Basically matching the shapes... Well I feel like I'm trying to fit the square shape into the circle cutout. It's just not working and not worth trying over and over when it's pointless. Because of a few instances I think I'm giving up. I know, I know as soon as I say that something will come along. And that's fine, I'm not saying I'm boycotting it, just not going to try forcing something that just isn't there. I really want a vacation. Yes, I did just go to Vegas/St. George, but it was a last minute and rushed thing. I want a true vacation, no I need a vacation. Well, I'll leave you this Sunday evening with those thoughts.
It's been awhile since the last post. I hardly ever get on my laptop now that I'm out of school and I think that's part of it, I just check things on my phone and I can't do a post on there. With that being said I don't exactly feel like putting together some elaborate, witty and entertaining post about what I've been up to over the last month. I'll say this though, I'm excited for this week to be over. It started out rough when I got my mom's truck stuck in the snow, went even more downhill when I caught some sort of stomach bug for two days and hit rock bottom when I almost seriously injured myself like three times today between the gym, Walmart and Costco. Well, I'll leave you with that, I hope I just needed a rough patch to begin 2011 and the rest of it will be an excellent year.
