SOOO... LESSON NOT LEARNED!

Ok so remember how tuesday I fried the front of my legs? well today was the first day i was able to go back to the pool and I thought to myself I have a funny line on my legs... the front has color and the back doesn't! so I decided I would tan the back of my legs.. but I wasnt going gto be stupid anad tan them for an hour and let them fry. so I contemplated the time i would lay there and 15-21 mins sounded good, and after that time had passed i got in the pool for a bit, and then went and watched a movie with Michelle and Melissa and there 2 darling babies. after the movie i stood up and felt the back of my legs sting a little, and i though OH NO!! so I get home, shed the clothing and look at the back of my legs... dundundun... they looked like a lobster! and felt like a lobster being cooked... so ... thats something isnt it? evedently since between tuesday and saturday the sun became more efficient and did what it did to me tues, in a quarter of the time.... YEAH SUN! not!

MY ADVENTUROUS DAY.

So here are some pictures of the apartment. next pictures I post will have humans in them I promise. today has been quite the adventure, first i spent nearly 2 whole hours trying to figure out how to change my blog background. then i decided i would wander around tuscon in my car of course. for those of you who dont know tuscon I will tell you its pretty big. and I wanted to find the mall. well we live on the outskirts of town anad I as of yet have not gone past it. so i got into my car thinking to myself that it probably wasnt a good idea to venture into the city for the first time by myself... but i ignored myself and went on. I knew deep down in my belly that i would probably never find the mall but that I could look for cool places along the way. after about 10 min of driving around taking wierd turns that usually led me nowhere i came around a big turn and there it was.... the mall, it was huge and i couldnt decide which entrance to go into. needless to say i entertained myself there for a long while, and then went home which was a chore seeing as i had taken so many weird turns to get there. but now I am home safe after a long and exciting adventure. and now i wait for chris... for another 3 hours:(

NOTE TO SELF:

Ok so yesterday I was sitting inside around 10:30 in the morning wondering what I should do, and I decided i would go out and get a nice little tan by the pool... I proceeded to do so and after about 40 min i decided I was probably good for the day because I didnt want to get burned the first time I was out in the sun for the summer. so I start to pack everything up to go inside and all the other wives and there babies come in. so of course me being eager to talk to another human being sit by the pool and chat with them not noticing the time going by, about 1:30 my stomache starts to growel so I say my goodbuys and head in for lunch. when I entered my apartment i felt a slight pain in my legs and looked down only to see a smoldering red glaring at me. I knew this was a bad sign because it usually takes about a half a day for my burns to show up, but within 5 min I was totally full blown royally fried! so I layed to to take a nap and 2 hours later (the sun takes alot out of you) I woke up got dressed and went in search of a grocery store. to my relief I found one quickly, went in made my purchase and hurried back to the car where I immediately busted that baby out of the bag and slathered aloe vera all over my legs.... note to self stay away from the sun.

Chris got home around 8:30 at night and I had a poor mans meal of hamburger patties smothered with suated onions and garlic, and mashed potatoes and butter ready for us. after which we went to the movies with brady and logan to see Iron Man which was way good.... I was ready to be out of the house! any ways Chris had a good selling day yesterday he sold 3 but one backed out last min because he was upset the installer was an hour and a half late, which was just a mis comunication. anyways he is doing really well and I am getting more used to the idea of not being at home:)

ARIZONA

Ok so we finally moved to Arizona, after a long tearfull goodbuy ( sorry fam, I couldnt control my emotions:) but i did try) turns out the weather in tuscon is alot like the weather in St. George, except it hits the high temp earlier. so we got to our apartment last night, and were surprised to find out that there is a pool and spa... YEAH!!!! our apartment is very very very small but cute, not in the way that our aprtment at home is cute, more in the way that if I dont say it is then I wont think it is:) it has brand new furniture, and Chris so I like it! so I took a bunch of pictures to post but when I went to upload them I realized I dont have the stuff to conect our camera to the computer AHHH what will i do! sorry Tyler no pics! just a few interesting facts about our apartment that I just came to know.
1- when i sneeze it echoes off the walls like under the paint there is some type of metal!
2- we have a surprisingly lot of storage space in our bathroom, and I cant figure out how, or where the space comes from.
3- they now make vinal that looks shockingly like tile.
4- the AC is really loud when your the only one home.
I thought those might be somewhat interesting for everyone to know. last night we also went to walmart to get stuff for our new house, and turns out it is very disguraging having to restock your apartment with the basic, nessesary foods, when we just had our last apartment perfect, so as a result we got top ramen and stuff instead of yummy homecooked things, because we dont want to have to pack it all again in a month or 2 when we move to new mexico.
I cant wait to go to church and see what our ward is like, I figure that will feel more like home than anything since the gospel is the same everywhere :) So all in all It was a good move the drive went well and we got here safely... aka side note, while we were driving we could see this eagle flying up ahaid of us and it was huge the wing span was as big as our car, then all of the sudden it came right at us and we nearly hit it, it was so cool I was yellin DID YOU SEE THAT! to chris and obviously he couldnt help but see it since it blocked the windshield and its feathers were seriously touching the car, it was amazing to see a bird like that so close. anyways im sure thats enough of an update for today, ill blog again tommorrow, unfortunately not with pictures though:( oh and a shout out to everyone to keep updated so I can see whats going on, it will help alot thanks :)

NEW CAR !!!!!

OK, so it all started out as a little dilema. me and Chris had A mazda 3 and were content and happy. then one day we realized that Chris is tall! not only is he tall but the mazda 3 was little. this was all well and good until we started thinking about children... in the future of course, and we were shocked to see that a car seat wouldnt fit since chris' chair goes all the way to the back seat. well thats fine right? I mean we still had a while before we needed to deal with it. and then another factor hit us! we have a HORRIBLE interest rate on the mazda and if we wait any longer to get rid of it we would be upside down on the selling price due to our car not holding its value well. so we set out on our journey to buy a bigger vehicle. I say vehicle because we were originally going to get a small suv, the mazda cx7 to be exact, and we test drove it and were disapointed to see that inside it was the same size as our little car, only with a bigger space in the back were the trunk would be. naturally we didnt want to jump to a full size suv for our little family... then I got a brilliant idea, "lets get a bigger car, its less gas, and better insurance and cheaper all around. so after looking at the nissan maxima ( and almost getting it) we saw this camry and really liked it, plus it was cheaper and just as nice ( i liked it better than the maxima) so now our payments per month will be considerably smaller and our interest rate has been cut in just over half! so good buy to my cute little mazda it will be missed... sometimes.

GOODBYE TO AN OLD FRIEND!

Well it's official, I no longer have long hair... sniff sniff, it has been ten and a half years since I have cut my hair and I really feel like im missing something... like a long time part of me... anywho its the new me and I really like it. But the best part is that chris likes it too... I was way relieved. I didnt want to add to his horrible day because he has had the flu all day yesterday and has been in bed misserable with nothing to do... so the flu + p90x soreness + chris did not make for a happy day, so imagine my nervousness when I know chris likes long hair and that he has been sick.... fortunately he liked it and got a good nights sleep last night and is starting to feel better. Unfortunately for the both of us the soreness from p90X is not going away and I walk like a prenant lady from it.

Ok the reason for the puffy cheeks is that I just got my wisdom teeth out, and now my cheeks are perminately puffy.
the next pictures are of the stupid model things I have to draw in my drawing class... you would think that they would pick something that maybe people would enjoy drawing instead of trying to push them away from the art world with dull assignments like these. alas i go on, and truely dislike my class... anyways I guess I will attempt to describe why I have not posted in such a long time.... my camera was dead and Tyler has instilled in me a deep fear of blogging without pics.
so the last couple weeks at our house have been really busy, with Chris's moms wedding and then spring break having fun everyday... it gets tiring:) we whent camping a little to prematurely with only a sleeping bag for each of us. and it was freezing... I didnt sleep. oh and I didnt get my wisdom teeth out.
