Quirks! :)

I saw this on a friends blog and got to thinking... I have many a quirk so-- here's to name a few!

** I HATE the feel of most glass.. its like nails on a chalkboard to me. I cant handle it! YAH for plastic
** I get really excited over simple dumb things and I uncontrollably have to clap/rub my hands together real fast... embarrassing much, just ask the girls at school!
** I have a phobia of somebody slicing my Achilles tendon while getting into my car then dragging me under, therefore I cant lock my car at night when I go somewhere cuz i need a quick access, no time to put my key in the door and unlock the door its to risky and if I must lock it.. then i stand like a foot away from the door while reaching forward to unlock it!
** I'm obsessed with cleaning my ears with Q-tips if I run out, its like the end of the world.
** I LOVE popcorn I'm slightly obsessed
** In order to sleep, I have to fold my wrists up under my pillow all awkwardly, this has definitely caused carpal tunnel!
**I cant go anywhere without my toes painted, they have only been bare for like 2 hours total my entire life!
** I compare most experiences in life to a song or lyrics.
** My favorite movies are those lame ones that everybody makes fun of, [example: Flicka, Raise your voice, Where the heart is, etc,]
** I don't blow my nose. hard to admit yes- but oh so true I've only succeeded at this maybe twice my whole life!

Just to name a few! What can I say, I'm a weirdo! :)

L.I.F.E

Okay 3rd time is a charm. I am about ready to give up this blog crap cuz i cant figure it out!

Alright so as I have typed 2 times before lol, Life is great! :) couldn't be better we have had an excellent couple of weeks! We got to go camping/boating with friends, finish house projects, hang out with family, go to the lake, and hit up many firework shows! Its been great! We had an amazing saturday last week! Since we have dated I can only recall 2 times Austin took off a Saturday, my grandpas funeral and Lake Powell. Thats it, so as you can imagine I have lonely Saturdays but not the last! :) Austin took off the day so we could go up to the lake and watch a wakeboard competition and fire on the water! Early that morning we were informed that my dads work had rented out the theater for employees and families! YAH! We hurried packed the car and swim suits and went to "How to train your dragon!" It was a cute little show, and fun to be with the family! We left there and rushed up to the lake (picking up Aust's little sis on the way) When we got there they were just setting up so we were able to go a good little rocky beach spot right up close the the wake-boarders! We set ourselves up there and had a great day! There were plenty of vendors to keep us company, pass out free stuff, and entertain! It was the best day I loved spending a Saturday with Austin && miss Alyssa, stress free! We got to do nothing but relax the whole day! It was really hot but so fun! We had some friends meet us up there much later to join us for the fireworks! What a Great Day!

Poor Aust wore his sunglasses the whole day and got this sweet tan line! :) (ps. gotta love the free monster tattoos we all got!)

The week went on. A whole lot of busy like the usual, but the best news of all.. Guess who is FINALLY employed...



That's right I am! :)
I am Ssoooo excited. Its been super stressful this summer not working, well okay not really for me ha ha but stressful for the poor hubby who has had to work a ton more and on top of that keep up with school! I've been looking and applying all over but with no success. It didn't help that I was a bit picky, I have been completely blessed in the fact that I have always loved my jobs, never once have I dreaded goin to work so It was hard for me to try and just settle for something dumb just for a few months. Luckily that wont be the case, I found something I am sure I will love! I still have my job during the school year teaching the kids with special needs but as for the summer I will be working at Hazen Photography studio. I get to do hair and makeup for drill teams and cheerleaders all day long! Basically just prepping them for the photo shoots! YAH! I am seriously so excited so wish me the best! :)

Lately

We are a bit behind on things, but we are doing great! We have had a great couple of weeks! 4th of July was a blast as it always is. We missed Austin he worked most the weekend but i had a grand ole time with the fam! We have been able to go boating a few times and its great! There is nothing like being on a boat, wind in your hair, blue sky above, good company and watching mr Austin wakeboard hs little heart out! We are blessed! Most excitingly this week though has been that our house is officially done, well i guess as most people would say it will never be done there will always be another project but we are finally settled decorated painted and loving it! Major shout out goes to my mamma who has spent every waking moment over there with me helping me put together the last details! She is the best, love you mom! So without further delay.. some pics!

As of Late...

House update... one word- ugh. But for reals it is coming along we are so close. We are to the fun part, decorating and making it our own! :)

Our cute front door with the address!

My only request... a red wall!

More pics to come!

Today we are taking a break

&& Catching the wake!

Grateful

We have been completely humbled by the help of our families. Remodeling our house has been a pretty overwhelming/stressful thing. We would be absolutely nowhere if it werent for our families! My mom has spent countless hours pricing things out making lists running back and forth everywhere just so we could start our project, that doesn't even include the hours she has spent painting tiling etc. etc I am amazed at the selflessness of my sisters. They have been over there during the day when we couldnt be there helping out painting doing all the jobs nobody wants to do and on top of that dragging around their children just to help us and making dinner for us when everybody arrives at night! We are so lucky! We wouldn't be near as far if it weren't for my brother and his awesome construction skills he is such a handy man and so motivated and lucky for us my other brother is a genius and he has knocked out our electricity in no time (which is a miracle due to the lame wall lights we had everywhere).! Austs parents have been great to come over and help when they have a free second, they are also re-doing there kitchen so they've been over their heads in remodel as well! We are just truly blessed. I don't know where we would be without family! Im grateful to have married into a grateful family as well as been raised with a great family! We have truly been humbled by all the overwhelming help and kindness we have received! THANKS EVERYBODY!!

Playing catch up!

Boy oh boy we have been sooo busy! I will try to catch you up on our simple but hectic lifes!

Awz: Busy, busy with school, yup summer school :( ! That hard working hubby of mine is taking 18 credit hours despite it being the summer! I'm so proud of him. He still works 3-4 days a week at Murdock and on top of that maintains good grades!

Jilli: Busy as well. Sometimes I feel like I dont have 2 seconds to myself! I work each day till 2 than go straight to school till 6 (which im beginning to love more and more)! Poor Austin has had to adjust to fast easy throw in the microwave kind of meals due to our busy schedules!

Together: We are loving married life and the adjustments that come with it! We closed on our house on May 12 and started reconstruction that weekend! If we werent busy enough with school and work, we sure are now. We rush straight over to our house to continue our project. UGH. Its been VVERRRRYYY LOOONNNGG days! We are truly blessed and grateful for all of our help from our families, we could have never gotten this far without them so THANK YOU!!
