Jobs and working

Okay so I'm actually really excited tonight. I just applied for ANOTHER job and I really hope I get it! The job is down on fremont street and it's a zip line! If I got the job, my job count would be up to 4- crazy I know!! But I really want to make more money and I have the time so I went for it. If I get it I will be one busy girl- most likely having to work at 2 jobs a day. but hey, I'm young and I don't really have anything going on anyways. So we will see- I'll keep you posted!

5 days and counting...

OH MY GOSH!!! We are going on our cruise to Mexico on SATURDAY!! I am seriously overwhelmed with excitement! I cannot express enough how much I need this vacation RIGHT NOW. I feel like my life has been so stressful the last little while and I just need to put that all on hold and relax and enjoy my family's amazing company! I just want to put the next 4 days on fast-forward!!! :)

The Diet

A few of you have asked what exactly this diet is that I'm doing. Yes, it's the HCG diet. It works great, and I highly recommend it! Today is day 12 being on the diet and so far I have lost 10 lbs! It feels so good to finally get some weight off and hopefully I will be able to meet my goals. Once I'm off the diet and back from the cruise (yayy!!) I've decided I'm going to get a personal trainer so I can tone up and really look good!:)

Workaholic

Today was the first day I have had off in 12 days. I am exhausted!! Between the Renaissance Festival with my special events job and homecomings at the flower shop I had to work a handful of 12+ hour work days. Beside the fact that I woke up at 6:30 this morning in a panic just sure I had to be getting up for something, I quickly realized I don't have anything and I then was able to sleep until about 11. Then I went to church and came home and slept some more! Here's some of the things I've experienced in the past couple of weeks...

I met a camel!

My monkey friend, Don Juan

Traffic at 5:30 AM

The Wilds- scary people in a group at the Ren Fair

What I looked like after only 5 hrs of sleep

My security friend, we had matching sunglasses!

Learned how to make boutonnieres

On a side note, this is what Bentley's doing as I sit here and write this. So cute!

Last Supper

Tomorrow I'm starting my diet again. I'm really excited for it because this is the second time doing it and the first time I lost 20 lbs and have lost almost 10 lbs since being off the diet. So since I did so well that time I'm really hoping I will do just as well this time around. So this being my last night of regular eating, I decided to make myself my very favorite dinner- stir fry! It was SO yummy!! Hopefully with all the boring food I get to eat over the next month or so I will be able to remember the tastiness of this delicious meal! <3

"Flag Football"

So I was able to be picked to be a part of our ward's flag football team and this week we played another ward for FHE. We have been practicing for the past week and felt pretty confident going in to the game. As the game started we completely dominated and were up 14-0. Once the other team got frustrated they started playing dirty, so of coarse we retaliated and played dirty right back! Well needless to say things went too far and people started really getting hurt. It makes me really mad at the 2 guys who were the refs because, let's be honest- they just wanted to see girls fight! A simple game of flag football turned in to full on tackle football, minus the protective padding. The last 2 days I literally feel like I'm recovering from being in a serious fight. Every time I move, every muscle, every bruised area- I HURT!! I feel like I just need to sleep in a hot tub or something for a minimum of 15 hours! BUT one good thing has come from this- my adorable little 11 year old cousin gave me a massage today for like a half hour and it helped SO much!! Here's some pictures of the game- at least we looked cute! :)










P.S.- The game ended in a tie after overtime. So you know there will be another game in the near future!! yikes!

Flowers!!

So all my life I've fantasized about how when I grow up I will have fresh flowers in my house every week. Well, now that I work at a flower shop, this dream is being fulfilled weekly! A lot of times I will bring home "dead" flowers that the shop is throwing away. It is not uncommon for me to be digging through the trash and pulling out flowers to take home. Everyone makes fun of me at work, but I don't care. I think they're perfectly good flowers and I am going to enjoy them! I always just tell them to make fun of my in their head not out loud. Anyways, here's some pictures of some of the flowers I've brought home.





I also have to share these super crazy flowers we got in for a wedding. I never even knew you could get flowers like this!







I know you're wondering, but no, these flowers weren't for a gay wedding. Just for some super hippie people!!
