My Great Weekend!

So this weekend was very eventful!

let's rewind to Friday... not much was done on Friday so Chris and I just sat home and watched different shows that we have on DVD (this weekend we finished the"the 4400" series). Chris worked on a school project and I crocheted little baby booties and a baby hat. (there is a picture coming)

Saturday Chris and I went to walmart for different crafty things for Chris's school project. Can I just say how much I like this school project Chris is working on because than Chris goes to craft stores with me AND I don't feel guilty for buying yarn or buttons for my little projects. And then it happened.....

I had my melt down, for no apparent reason I got upset and started a bawling fit. During this Chris asked me if there was anything that he could do for me to make me feel not so stressed.... with tear filled eyes, I asked "Can I bring Minnie home?"

Sunday was My father's birthday and Chris and I's 2 Month anniversary. After eating dinner with our family for my dad's birthday, Chris and I went home with Minnie in a card board "pet carrier" (although it was a lot harder and scarier than just driving home, more like having a rabid wild raccoon in a box full of dried meat on your lap) we got home and Chris and I have now taken on the title of pet owners! I just am so happy now that Minnie is here with me at my new home, I just hope that after she has been in one home for 11 years she will be ok with the idea of starting a new life here for the next couple months and then at our new home the beginning of spring... We shall see..

*** ya wanna know how things turned out our first night as a family?!****

Well Chris and I brought her home and she immediately ran under our bed and was there to stay. So I decide to stay up with Chris because lately I can't sleep without him (soo cute... gag me). However, at 11 I had all I could handle and went to bed with Minnie underneath our bed and fell fast asleep for about an hour when Chris came in.

At this point I think that Minnie said to herself, "everything is quiet and dark, its ok for me to come out and 'explore'"... I say "explore" because what ended up happening was NOT what I would call exploring. She proceeded to jumping up on my nightstand getting in our window, jumping back on my night stand, running around on our bed, going to chris's night stand, jumping up on our dresser, then jumping three feet on to our bed ON TOP OF CHRIS and then running across our pillows and starting over. This continuted. All. Night. Long.

I thought maybe she wanted to get out and explore the rest of her new home, so I opened our bedroom door WIDE open and went and got a "glass of water" for myself. (really I just took a swig of sprite from the bottle, I just wanted to sound healthy). When I turned around to see if Minnie had come out to explore she just stood at the door and just coward. When I went to pass her to go back to bed she ran as fast as she could under the bed and coward until I laid down, than she started all over again with the jumping around.

This continued until around 6am when all the sudden it got very very quiet, naivly Chris and I used this chance to get an hour of sleep and when our alarms went off we reluctantly got out of bed. That's when I asked it: "where's Minnie"... we didn't know. She wasn't under the bed. so I went to the living room, I thought that she was behind the TV... I kept calling her and couldn't find her. I had no idea where she went until I heard a little tiny scared meow from INSIDE our heating duct. F my life... I found where she had be hiding and it took Chris and I an hour and two cans of wet cat food to coax her out (I called in late for work and when I told my supervisor what was happening she just laughted...)

I called my dad and told him what happened his response: "Ashley wait, let me put you on speaker phone and I want you to tell me about your night one more time so mom can hear." I told them and they both started laughing. You guys this isn't funny, we are very very tired, this just is not humorus in anyway!

After this Chris and I both were very exhausted and had no patience so we (chris excitedly, I reluctantly) packed up all of Minnie's things and her and took her back to my parents.

While at my mom's to drop Minnie off my mom said, "you should talk to Danielle about not getting any sleep and being tired, since she has to take care of Ella all night." ....Chris and I will never reproduce. This is awful.

This is the story of how Chris and I were pet owners for 12 hours.

Honey, I'm home!

When Chris and I got married we had discussed where we wanted to head in our lives. He decided that we wanted to rent the home we are in now until we are both done with school and maybe a little after so we could build up a little nest egg. That is until Chris's mom caught wind of a new subdivision in downtown Kaysville. When Chris's mom told Chris about it and then Chris told me about it and I said no downtown Kaysville is already developed. So Chris and I got in our little car and drove over to were this alleged subdivision was. We found it very easy and fell madly in love with the neighborhood. It wasn't according to our plan but Chris and I just felt right about it. Soooo... we put down money on the lot we wanted and are starting the wonderfully fun building process. Wish us luck...

Last night's conversation...

This was right before Chris and I fell asleep....


Chris (C): Did you hear that they found a planet in another galexy that can sustain life?!

Me: I sure did.

C: We should move there...

Me: umm... that wouldn't work, its not possible to get that much water and that much food into a space shuttle, and what about fuel.

C: ummm yeah they could do it

Me: than why haven't they gone to Mars yet?

C: because it would take to long

Me: then how would it be possible to go to another galaxy we would die

C: well yeah, but we would just take our children. It will take generations to get there.

Me: That's an awful idea....

C: ..... sad...

Me: Chris,

C: what?

Me: if there can't be fire in space, how is the sun on fire?

C: why can't there be fire in space?

Me: no air...

C: is the sun on fire?

Me: ummm yeah have you seen it?

C: I think its just burning gas.

Me: yeah but then how is it burning?

C: Go to sleep.

once upon a time...

I came home from school around 930PM and was so very tired. I walked into the family room/office and found Chris playing his computer games and the tv was on. I didn't have the best day at school so I just stormed in to the bedroom and started to get in my pj's and Chris came in to the bedroom and I started to rant about how super not fun school was and thats when I heard it. It was the sound of a little baby kitten meowing. and I got so excited.

Chris knew how much I wanted a pet and he went out and got me a kitten!!!

I started to jump up and down and say "You got me a kitty! You got me a kitty!" and started opening all closed doors trying to find it. That's when Chris informed me that the kitty I was hearing was on the tv, and he didn't really get me a kitten. after that disappointment I went straight to bed...

The first month of marriage

I have been putting off an update, just because I don't have any fun pictures......

Wedding Day:
I really really enjoyed my wedding day. I woke up and went to the doctor with my mom and my mom and I had a nice calm bonding moment with my mommy (well as calm as the doctor's can be on your wedding day). Then after that my mom and I went to the grocery store to get food because I wanted my mom to make me a big lunch so I wouldn't starve. Other than that the morning was really really slow and kinda boring. I than went to get my hair done and from there went to my parents who drove me to the reception center and don't worry I only got there about 45 minutes late :) but it was my wedding day so who cares right? after the rehearsal, I sat in the brides room with my two cousins and just about had a panick attack waiting for my dad to come and get me.

The wedding was beautiful the pictures came out great. pretty much it was wonderful. best part about the whole day, I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend (aww.)

Honeymoon:
So after a wonderful day chris and I went to Salt Lake City to little america and awaited for morning to come so that we could get on the plane and GO TO DISNEYLAND woot.. we woke up got ready and went to smith's and got breakfast then headed for the airport.

For the first three days we stayed at The Californian Adventure, and they gave us a free upgrade to a suite which ended up being bigger than the house Chris and I are renting. It. was. awesome!

We spent a ton of time around the park and playing at the pool and just relaxing, then on day three we left there and went to huntington beach to relax some more.

It, too, was fun to just sit by the pool and read. Chris and I both got fried. The ocean was freezing, but we still had a ton of fun.

On our last day, we went to see a movie before we needed to be to the airport and we even spent more time at Disneyland. We went to the airport and flew home just in time for me to wake up at 6AM the next morning to go start school.... DRAG...

Married Life:
Chris and I rarely see each other during the week. Tuesdays and Thursdays I leave before chris is awake and I get home late and am really tired so I usually got to bed right when I get home, and Chris has night class Tuesday and Wednesday (soon to be Monday and Wednesday) so he doesn't get home until about 1030pm. so during the weekend, chris and I do nothing but sit around watching our "shows" and sleep in.. its a wonderful life, chris and I are still best friends and we don't really fight like I was worried was going to happen (I am very OCD and have to have everything just RIGHT, and chris is just not like that)

Has this every happened to you???

This past week I have been an emotional wreck, and I'm not even over exaggerating that a bit! Lately I feel like I should be admitted into a safe house for the next 5 (yes FIVE) days. Let me just show you what I mean.Lately Chris and I have been spending a lot of time at our house trying to get it ready to live in... ya know the basics like toilets and showers... So the other day i was in the "living room/family room" putting blue tape around things so that we could prime the yellowed walls and then paint them a beautiful color. Everything was going great and me and Chris were getting along just grandly and having a gay old time when SUDDENLY his grandparents came over and I took a break to speak with Chris's grandma and for the first time I realized that when we move in, we may not have anything ready... soooo

(these are tears not drool...)

I do the only logical thing, I get in a fight with Chris over nothing, and then run to the front room and lay on the dirty carpet and cry. When Chris asks "why" I honestly have no clue.. and just cry to him about how the house isn't done and so we leave because i no longer am a very good help in my condition...

Another example... yesterday at work, I was being very impatient and just all around rude. For instance:
Someone would call in and I would answer with the greeting. and the person would say something like
Mr man: O, hey I called earlier and left a message and never got a call ba...
me: (interrupting) "sir, sir, sir"
MR man: O, um yes?
me: the only thing that I can do is take another message.
Mr. Man: well you see, I already left a mess...
me: sir, sir, I know that. but THE. ONLY. THING. I. CAN. DO. IS. TAKE. ANOTHER. MESSAGE!!!!!!

Mr. Man: (really quite..) I'll just call someone else....

But unfortunately there is more.
I usually call Chris everyday while I'm walking to my car because there are a lot of homeless people about so I call him to make sure I make it to my car OK.... so Chris yesterday made the mistake of asking me how my day went.... my response...
And that was not the right thing to say... why you ask? i don't know why but something in me said "ya know it has been more than an hour than the last time i uncontrollably cried my freaking guts out.... so how about right now while i'm walking towards my car?!"

Rough two days right??? yeah there is still one more....
Yesterday after going to see my sister's baby Chris and I drove separately and were going to meet at his mother's house for food and Chris called to tell me that their fridge was broken and they didn't have food....
normal scene right??? WRONG
I flip out because Chris asks me what I want to do about dinner and that is just too much stress for me at this point apparently...

at this point I am down to only crying once so far... unfortunately it was right when I got to work and I was trying to take calls... didn't work everyone saw through it... If this continues Clear Eyes is going to hire me to bottle my tears so they can sell it to moisten other peoples eyes.
