Bagles, Thank you cards, and The Emporor's New Groove

The title of my post goes out to my one and only ginger bestie in Payson, Mikaela! She always has three things listed as her titles so I decided to try it and it worked perfectly!

Yesterday night Spencer was at school. I had been doing thank you cards for ummm....like 5 hours and ran out with only about 15 more to write. Great. I was kinda bummed but I decided to just let it go and relax for the rest of the night. Spencer is supposed to get home at about 10 and he walks in the door at 9:25! Well, that was an awesome surprise! I asked him why he was home so early and he replied with, "I would have been home earlier if I hadn't gone to Fry's". Confused, I asked..."Why did you go to Fry's??" He held up and bag and pulled out a pack of thank you cards and a bag of bagles. This seriously made my whole night. I had been talking either earlier that day or the day before about how I went grocery shopping and purposely bought more pizza sauce so we could make more pizza bagels and then completely forgot to buy bagels. He is so stinking awesome! I seriously was blown away by how cool he was. I just hugged him so tight and he was a little bit weirded out because he didn't know why this was such a big deal but it was so awesome to know that he listens to me and that he goes out of his way to make me happy. IT WORKED!!! He also brought in the copy of the Emporor's New Goove he got at Target earlier (that was his indulgence, he said we HAD to have that movie :)) Life is so good! I have the best husband in the world!

Today I got to hang out with my good friend Alex. It was so fun to see her again and actually spend some time together! She came over and we finished watching my show (it's called Lie to Me. Don't watch it with little kids but seriously...watch this show) and headed out for our bargain shopping extraveganza! We headed to good will and just meandered around, talking about her wedding plans and the things going on in our lives and then we headed back to my house to paint nails :). I seriously love this girl and am so proud of her good decisions!! I can't wait for her and Bronson to get married on September 1st! WOO!

Just on a funny note, my mom and I had a really funny conversation last night over text, thought I would share:

(I texted my mom to tell her how proud of me she should be because I worked out for an hour)

Me: I'm gonna be sore...I'm gonna keep going though
Mom: I'm super sore from Janelle on Tuesday
Me: I love it!!
Mom: I don't. Dread going potty
Me: Wow....ha
Mom: getting old sucks
Me: You're not old, you're thirty, flirty, and thriving!!!
Mom: Bahaha
Me: I'm awesome, say it!
Mom: I"m smart, I'm sexy, and gosh darn it people like me!
Me: Haha own it girl!
Mom: I'm going to bed now it's past my bedtime :) You know us old fogies

We will look like them one day mom, I know it.


Love ya!  Like a pig loves a good old roll in the mud on a hot day! (which is about every day here so...I love you a lot!

Wednesday is my new favorite day!

Yesterday was so awesome! I was pretty much Queen of the world. My morning began by being able to skype my dearly missed bestie in Payson, Mikaela. Married life is great :) Then I decided to be productive sooooooo....

• I cleaned and put away all of the dishes
• I vacuumed the whole house.
• I CLEAN cleaned the bathroom. I even mopped the floor because my hair stuff always falls on it. It gets nice and sticky.
• I swept and mopped the kitchen floor
• I cut up the cantalope that has been on our counter
• I cleaned up EVERYTHING off the floor in our room
• I made the bed.
• I took out every piece of garbage in the whole house
• I cleaned out behind the chair in our living room, it looks awesome now
• I went to the grocery store!
• I put away groceries and lit a candle

So my house is clean!!!! Probably the cleanest it has been since we moved in. I was so excited about it that when my friend Jess texted me and invited us over, I said, "You guys should come over here!" (Jess and JP have been married for 5 days now!)

We were supposed to meet with our bishop but we never set up a time and then when 4:00 passed and we still hadn't heard, we decided they weren't coming! I also had my oral exam for my spanish class and I had that to take right before the friends came over. While I did my exam, Spencer cooked dinner. It was soooo good! We ate pasta and garlic cheese bread and salad and yummy peach juice! My husband is so cool :) I even got to use one of my gifts for the first time. Spencer's aunt Lori made us this cute little treats display thing made out of dishes and I got to use it to hold the bread, THANKS LORI!

Date night was fun. It's fun to hang out with other married couples. We ate, talked a little, then watched a movie. Seriously like the best day ever. Oh yeah, and I got two new workout dance videos that I am starting TODAY!! Have to fit into my bridesmaid dress :)

Today is going to be pretty great too! McKenzie is coming over to swim and then Jess is coming back at like 12:30 to work out with me!! I am so grateful for such good friends! :) Oh yeah....

I GOT AN A ON MY ORAL EXAM!! WAHOO!!!

The first month

It has been just a little bit over a month since the big day and WOW is being married the best thing ever. This post is going to be really confusing and all over the place but I am just going to spill!

 I have continued to cook dinner almost every night and Spencer says I'm an excellent cook (he does not think anything on the planet is gross though so it's not really a fair statement).

We auditioned for Oliver! together and are enjoying dancing together as ensemble townsfolk! Although it is not his favorite thing to do, it means the world to me that he will do it anyways to spend time with me. I just love that boy :) We have been to three rehearsals and are picking things up quickly :).

 We are also nearing the end of our school semester! We are approaching finals and there is lots of homework. Let's just say our nights are not usually movies and cuddling :( . It's ok though, we are almost done!

 We have also been able to go to a couple of friend's wedding receptions and have about three more this month. My best friend Miranda is getting married on the 31st of this month and I am thrilled! Her and Andy are just so stinking cute... She was nice enough to include me in the wedding and I get to be a bridesmaid! She just gave me my dress yesterday and it is beyond gorgeous! I went over to grandma's yesterday night and we sewed our little hearts out. I was so grateful that I got married first because if I hadn't, my grandma wouldn't be comfortable working with sleeves and wouldn't have been able to alter it for me. She's the best!! My other friend Chantille is getting married in TWO WEEKS! I am so excited for her too. She will be moving in right down the road from us so I am excited to have her so close to me.

We had Spencer's family come over on Sunday night to keep us company. We watched AFV and played catch phrase! It was fun to have all of the boys here and to hang out with the mother in law and Tatum :).

Spencer and I have been to our new ward a total of twice now and this past week was better than the first. I GOT TO  HOLD A BABY DURING RELIEF SOCIETY!! I know, stupid right? But I just sit and watch them and want to hold them but this week I sat down next to a woman with a baby and sure enough, I got to hold him! So fun. The lesson was good and we feel a little bit more comfortable (even though there are only three young couples in the WHOLE ward and everyone else has at least two kids). We are excited for callings and to make some friends!

We have continued with our routine of going to the temple once a week and it is a really nice breather from the world. We just get to go and do work for other people and not worry about ourselves. On a really happy note, I am excited to go to TWO sealings this month. (That is the one thing that I haven't done since we got married)

Other than that, life in the Hon home is just about as normal as normal gets. We are working on our car situation but for now it looks like we will still be using a loaner from the bakery. We feel so blessed to have so many people willing to help us and work with us to make sure we can get around.

The last thing to say on this post is that my ankle is feeling SO MUCH BETTER. I haven't worn my brace in two days and it barely hurt going down the stairs yesterday. I figure since it hasn't been getting better wearing the brace, I might as well try to strengthen it.....here goes nothing!

p.s. It is not official, but Spencer and I have talked about going to Utah this summer for a little while to visit his cousin and his wife! They say we can sleep in their living room. We are also going to Indiana and camping on the beach in California! We want to have a fun first summer :). Also, I will be 20 years old in t-minus 2.5 months! :)
