Where Dreams Come True

My Brother's family went to Disney World again this year and we drove up to vacation with them. We love vacationing with them and LOVE disney world. This was Bryan's first and he was impressed. He loved it. While we were there he kept talking about our next trip!!

Saturday it RAINED all day, but that did not stop us from playing. We did Hollywood Studios all day but around 5PM we got too cold and too wet to go on. So that night we went to the Pent house and watched the firework show from there.

Loving Disney in the rain!

Can't wait for my next Disney Trip!! I hope it soon.

I Love Music

I love music. It makes me so happy. Ever since I was little I would sit on my bed and just listen to music. I would fall asleep to it, clean to it and study to it. I sometimes look forward to cleaning because I know I will be listening to music as I clean. I rarely take a shower without my radio blasting. I also love listening to morning shows on the radio. I look forward to the traffic report. I don't even drive in the morning and always listen to the traffic report.

Music moves me. I can listen to a song over and over again and love it more each time. I have been listening to Taylor Swift everyday since October and I still can't get enough of it. Certain songs instantly put me in a memory that I love. When I am in the car I turn up my radio and sing and I am happy.

I don't know where I am going with this besides the fact that I LOVE MUSIC.

Back to Reality

I feel like my summer is over and I am starting my real life again! I was on vacation for almost of month. First we went to California and hung out with Bryan's family. We went to Mammoth for the weekend. It was beautiful and relaxing. We mainly fished which I truly enjoyed. It reminded me of my being young and going fishing with my dad. Those were times I loved and always remember. I caught so many fish. Bryan and I had a contest. Who ever caught the most fish would win a prize. I WON. He got me an XBOX kinect but I felt like it was too much for us and we would not use it a lot so we returned it. I was just happy I finally beat Bryan at something!!

Bryan Fly Fishing.
The biggest fish I caught. Bryan wanted to keep it. So we had it in the boat but then the fish started gasping for breath and I could not watch and started to cry so Bryan put it back in the water.

I caught the first fish of the trip. It was tiny.

Right after spending time with my Bryan's family I flew to Utah to help my sister with her new baby. She had a baby boy Noah and he is the cutest thing ever. He loves to be held and cuddle so I would hold him all day long. I felt like I was not much help because I could not get Ava away from Marissa. So I took care of the baby, which in the end was the best!

Ava and Noah. She loved him. She would say, "My baby."

Ava happy because she was getting ice cream.

I returned home from Utah and immediately starting packing up our house to move. It was a stressful and hard move but worth it in the end. We are finally settled in and I can actually relax now. I also signed up for my NCLEX-RN test. It is the state boards for nursing and once I take this test and pass I can get a real job!! Bryan got me the Kaplan review course and I am so grateful. They have a 93% pass rate and I think I really needed it but was too scared to get it. I am glad Bryan surprised me and got it for me!

I feel like my life is back to normal. I don't know if that is a good thing or not. I liked being on vacation for a month and spending time with family. I got home Sunday night and Monday night I was ready to leave Florida to hang out with my family again. I have a count down to my NCLEX test because afterwards I am flying to New Jersey to see family again! I CAN'T WAIT!!!

A Move I never want to do Again

We made it! We moved 3 miles down the street into our new place. It was the worse move ever. First we did it the cheap way aka do it yourself.. Never doing that again. Second it was bloody hot. Third we moved into the 3rd floor and going up those stairs 100 times is just plain brutal. Forth it just sucks to move. BUT we had awesome help from our friends in our ward and the missionaries. We could not of done it without them.

Pros of our new place

1. Cheaper

2. Third floor

3. QUIET

4. Better location

5. Nicer management

6. Hot tub

7. Online bill pay

8. NO more trash bags that I have to buy

9. Washer and Dryer in our hallway and not in our garage

10. Bigger deck

11. More cabinets in the kitchen

12. Pantry

13. Roman Tub

CONS of the apartment

1. Smaller

2. Smaller closets

3. Less counter top space in the kitchen

4. Small fridge

5. Low ceilings. The bathrooms feel a little claustrophobic

Well the Pros out weight the Cons so I guess it was a good decision to move. I NEVER want to move again. I am dreading the day that we have to.

FAT

This is just a confession..

Lately, I have been feeling so fat. I know why and don't want to analyze my eating and work out life style. I just want instant skinniest! I want to wake up and be skinny! Someone please invent a pill where I take it at night and wake up skinny in the morning..

Here are the reason I feel fat.

1. I really am..

2. I have been bored and baking a lot. Not a good combo.

3. Traveling a lot lately and eating out

4. Stopped my workout regime. I was doing it 6 days a week from January till May. Since May I have not worked and out.

5. Whenever I feel skinny I stop working out and eat like crap.. then.. I feel fat and start working out again... its a vicious cycle.

6. I give in to my sweet cravings every time.

7. I throughly enjoy food.. I need to learn to enjoy food and not indulge it.

Whenever I start to feel fat I become depressed and mean. I become unhappy and all I can think about is how fat I am. I don't like who I become when I get this fat feeling.

SO starting Monday (I am sick right now) I am going to eat super healthy. I know losing weight it 70% diet and 30% exercise. For the next month I am going to be out of town and need to really focus on my food. I am going to start my work out regime again. Mainly I need to eat healthier and less.

I am not saying this so I get tons of comments saying you are not fat. I am mainly writing this to release my emotions and motivate myself to change.

To build me up after this depressing post..

Something I love about myself: Once I make up mind to do something, I do it. When I decide I want to lose weight, I always do. I think that is why I also always gain weight. I know I can lose it again. BUT one day I will be old and not be able to lose it and its not healthy for your body to yo-yo like I do.

First

This week has been full of many first for me.

I went to Taylor Swift Concert. What more can I say!

Singing Sparks Fly.

Taylor Swift is in the purple singing Speak Now.

Singing Back to December.

Singing Our Song.

I wore hoop earrings for the first time in my life. Bryan LOVES them.

I sang in front of my ward for a talent show. I was forced. I did not want to do it and will never do it again!

Side note= I have to thank Bryan for making my week of first. I would have never gone to Taylor Swift concert or wear hoop earrings if it was not for him.
