Pet Peeves

So I was reading on a fellow bloggers blog and she blogged about her pet peeves. I thought that would be a fun tag so I am going to start it! Just put your top ten pet peeves and why they peeve you off so badly.

1. When my husband takes his socks off and they are all balled up. I hate this because then you wash and dry them like that. They never get fully dry because they are all balled up!

2. Red arrows on left hand turns. I can't stand when there is one because instead of yielding to oncoming traffic and eventually getting to go, you have to sit and wait when you know you could make it across the intersection. 

3. Washing my hands and having no lotion to put on after. You know when your at school or another public place and you do not have lotion with you. I don't know why this is such a bad one for me. I think it might be a little OCD about it. 

4. When people talk about other people behind their backs. This one is not always a pet peeve as I do it sometimes as well, but it is when you don't agree with what they are saying about the person so it is really awkward. 

5. When you are at a restaurant and people butt you in the soda line. This is especially bad at cafe rio. Do they just not see you waiting there!

6. LAUNDRY LAUNDRY LAUNDRY!! I absolutely hate doing laundry. I don't know why. I just simply do. I would pay someone to do my laundry. I would clean a 100 bathrooms in one day if I did not have to do laundry

7. When people come in my lane while driving. I think this one is bad for my because my car is hard to see, but they don't just cut me off (which I can stand) but they come directly in my lane while on the side of them. So the only thing I can do is move into another lane or let them side-swipe me. 

8. When I vacuum up bobby pins. This one is my fault. I don't how they get on the floor but I hate when I vacuum them up because it is so loud and it scares me half to death. 

9. When I have headphones on and people walk up on me. This scares me so bad. For instance: I am folding clothes and someone walks up on me and touches me or talks really loud so I can hear them. I hate this. 

10. When I have headphones on and people try to talk to you. Like they think you can hear them or something. They are not just in my ears, hangin out. Obviously I am listening to something. It would be fine if they came up to you and made a motion that they want to talk to you or something like that. But they just start into their conversation. "what did you say, sorry I had headphones on in case you did not notice" haha 

Ok so now it is everyone else's turn. I tag anyone who reads this to do one on their blog.  BETSY, MELISSA, NICOLE, KRISTA, MOM, I know you all are reading this STEPH, JACCI come on girls. I think it is so interesting to find out what peeves people off. 

HOMES AND FLOWERS

So I am sorry I have not blogged in a long time! I really just dont have a ton to blog about. Tim and I, this last weekend, put money down on some condo's being built in West Jordan. They are so cute. They won't be built til December but that means we will be the first owner. They are 1,200 sq. feet and totally affordable. It is really close to my work which will save on gas for me. Tim is another story because who knows what he will doing by Then. He graduates in December though which will be soooo nice! He is so busy lately because he has so much home work. He is constantly working on something. I live in the same house as him yet I miss him. I just can't wait for him to come home from work and we can do anything we want, instead of being tied to the house. I don't think I will ever graduate! I have been going to school for over two years now and I feel like I havn't gone anywhere. I have changed my major 4 times now, which might be the reason why. I know for sure what I am going to do now though. I am going to graduate in Communications, just so I have a degree, and then I am going to be a florist. I know for sure that is what I want. I might start with just wedding's and eventually have my own flower shop. I love to do arrangements and it would be a dream come true if I was able to work with flowers for a living. Plus if I am self employed then my schedule can be flexable if I have kids. I am loving that the flowers are popping up lately because I love to work with spring flowers. Here are some I my more recent arrangements!

A WICKED WEEKEND

So I just got back from California yesterday and we had such a blast. We got to Burbank and went to Tiffany's (Sister that lives in Cali) home. She was there with James Richard because the girls were at school. We went swimming at her house in the 80 degree weather. It felt great to be in the sun. Most of us got sunburned but is was almost worth it. We then waited for the girls to come home and it was so good to see them. We left for our hotel and anybody that knows me knows that I must have left something at Tiffany's. However, I actually lost two items: my makeup bag and my Brighton bracelet from Tim.  

We got to the hotel and unpacked. We were all starving so we went to dinner in Pasadena at a small Mexican joint. It was for real Mexican food, not that tex mex stuff. SO GOOD! We got back to the hotel pretty late and stayed up playing cards and talking til Tiffany talked us all to sleep. The next day we went to Wicked the Broadway musical. We got the theatre and there were about 4 rows in front us us that were empty. We figured that a bus had not shown up yet. Soon after about 60 high school age kids walked in. They were all dress so modestly and cute. We figured it was maybe a church group. That was until I swore I heard rachelle's voice (best friend Krista's younger sister) I looked in front of me and one row ahead and two chairs over she sat. I was so shocked. It was Olympus High's concert choir. It was so fun to see her there. Wicked was amazing. I absolutely loved it. I can not believe that some people can sing like that. I had chills everywhere. 
This is the Witch hat necklace that we all bought for Nancy! She is the best Mother-in-law for taking us all. So kind of her

                                                                  Stars in Hollywood

After the play we went to a outdoor mall nearby and that was so much fun. We went to eat at this amazing BBQ place. We also went to the American Girl Doll store. There were two ladies in there that asked the store worker "Where is the American Girl Dike." We all had a good laugh. We then went to the Cheesecake Factory and got some cheesecake. On the way home Tiffany accidently took the wrong way and it took probably an hour and a half to get back to the hotel. Its ok though Tiffany I am not mad, I swear. It gave everyone some time to eat there cheesecake and some bonding time. Sunday we just shopped and ate and came home. What a fun fun fun trip. Thanks Nanc for the trip. You are so sweet, and thanks to my fun sisters. I love you all. Thanks for including your stinky little brothers wife on your fun, lucky, neat, silly trip! Shout out to you Bets!

Weird Story!!

Ok so I have a funny story to tell: today at work while I was looking at all the blogs I normally check out I thought "I wonder if my old EFY counselor has a blog." Mind you, when I went to EFY and she was my counselor I was about 13. I have no Idea why I thought of her today but she just popped into my mind. So I went to google and typed in her name and it totally brought up a web site that she has. I was totally shocked because I did not really think anything would come up (how many of us can type our names into google and have something come up that really has to do with us). So I wrote her an email because it had her email on the web site. She really touched my life when I was so young. I was struggling to figure out who I was and she was such an awesome example. To this day I still look back and want to be like her. Get this, I got home from EFY and sent her a CTR bracelet. I thought I was so cool. Anyways I will let you know if anything comes from me emailing her. I just thought it was way funny!

This is her, I guess being the funny teenager that I was I did not get a better picture, or get one with both of us in it!

I'M GOING TO HOLLYWOOD

Ok no I am not going to be on American Idol.... I wish though. I am going with my Mother-in-law and all my sister-in-laws to california to see Wicked (the broadway play) on Friday, and I can't tell you how stoked I am. I am just excited to not have to go to work, do laundry, do homework, and cook any meals. It will be so nice.
We had an easter egg hunt with all the nieces and nephews yesterday. It was a blast. They are so cute. I have to say that being with them makes me totally baby hungry.... but not yet. Then we went to the baseball diamonds with tims brother and fam. It was super fun.
Tim and I just found out that the evans (people that own our house) are going to sell it in June. So we have to find a place to live. I am so sad that we have to leave this house. It is so nice to live in a full house. I will also miss our ward (we definetly can not afford to buy a house in the area, there is one for sale that is probably 2000 sq ft for 750,000.00. insane huh!) Tim and I are looking into getting a condo, maybe. The search is on!
Other than that I really have nothing exciting to blog about.... Oh update on the friends we gave the flowers to. So I called them the next week but they had their brother coming to visit so they could not hang out that week. She just called me today though to see if we could go to a movie on Friday but like I said before, I will be in California. I have decided that making friends is hard! I guess that I have not made new friends for a long time. For some reason I get so nervous... Like I am scared to call them... but if any of you know me that is sooo not like me. I think It is just cause we dont know them that well and I don't know if they will like us. They are super nice though so I don't know what I am thinking. So I invited them to go to a Real Salt Lake Soccer game tonight but they have not gotten back to us yet. It is so weird but I am so scarred. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!
