Recap

Happy Monday Ladies! I had a wonderful weekend it was all such a blast! Friday night we went out to Squatters for my sweet mama's 29th (she would kill me if I posted her reaL age) birthday! I'm so grateful to be SO close to my family at the end of the day I know my parents, and my big sissy are ALWAYS here for me and that is so comforting I love them more then they know! After dinner sissy, her bf and husband and I went to this Frozen Yogurt place here in SLC called TopIt. Its AM-AZING!!

They have all the toppings my lil' heart can imagine! PLUS its non-fat so thats an extra brownie point for them!! Then we watched the movie Gamer with Gerard Butler (only reason I stayed awake) it was freaking CRAZY WEIRD!

Saturday I had my husband all to myself ALL day it was nice! We did the usual Saturday grocery shop, shopping, cleaning stuff etc etc. Then we had friends over for the UFC fights!! I'm so sad Lidell lost but I do think its time for him to retire! We stayed up late laughed, and had a great time!

Sunday we slept in went hot tubbing, bbq'd and watched the NBA game! Sooo glad Celtcis won! I can't stand Kobe Bryant I want to POP his head! We stayed up WAY past our bedtime for a Sunday but had such a good time with our friends and had the BEST bbq'd food EVER! Just ask my nephew:

It rained and crap all weekend long I'm SO ready for Summer to get here and to stay here! Hope you ladies had a wonderful weekend!

Thoughtless Thursday

Warning: If you get offended easily you may want to stop reading now. If you are one of those (ihavemyopinion&nomatterwhatyousayi'mright) kinds of people PLEASE don't read any further!

June seems like one crazy month for us! Actually ALL Summer is crazy busy! I enjoy being busy and being able to spend time with my family & friends through the summer but we are going to be BROKE by the end of it!! Let me just start off with a question that has been haunting me since mid Spring.

"Well are you guys EVER going to have children?!"

We get this question from everyone we know/meet. Just yesterday I received it from my boss because I am helping out in a baby shower for one of my colleagues. I got it when I drove my friend home last night, I get it from my parents, Rs family, friends, aunts, cousins you name it. My question back to them is... "What do you mean by EVER?" people I am only 21 years young and my DH is only 22!! (No offense to those with babies or planning on having babies young) It's just not for us. Growing up in Utah it is pretty stereotypical to start a family early. So yes I fit the stereotype when it comes to being married however, my parents are happily married going on 30 years now and they waited a whole 8 years to have my sister then 1 more year to have me. My mom was 29 by the time she was done having us lil' babes! Does that mean its in me to want to wait that long? Do I want to wait that long because I had an amazing childhood, because my parents never HAD to say "no" to sissy and I?

In high school I had 4 really close gf's well 3 of them now have 2-4 yr olds! How did I miss that? What made me stay out of it? So now that I am in my 20s happily married with a gorgeous husband and a house we just love is it time to have kids? R&I don't feel like we can comfortably say "yes" to that. Given finances, work, vacations, etc we LOVE doing all of those things together. Yes we are financially stable and yeah we could afford to feed one more mouth and still sit comfortably. I guess what I am trying to get at is "Is it wrong of me to be selfish?" Will I ever WANT to not be selfish? I'm starting to think NO. I have 6 baby showers this summer! 6!!! That is why I will be broke! BROKE NIGGA.

  

Soo... to my ladies out there? Should I not have kids because I am selfish? Or am I just too young to realize how great they are? It's not that I don't want them I just don't' want them now. Either way I think I am fine with. I always tell R that if we could not conceive I don't think I would try anymore or adopt. Its Gods way of letting me know I am not meant to have a child. Pshh... what to do what to do? I guess I still have at least 8 years to decide if I am ready for that or not. With all my gfs that are pregnant it has really made me step back and think about becoming a mama and I'm just not ready. AT ALL. That felt nice to get off my chest. Now.. the next person that asks if I'm EVER having kids may get a karate chop in the neck. Or something of the sort.

Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!

Weekend

(The Peak)

Hey bitches,

Its the end of a weekend and the beginning of a new week! I myself had a WONDERFUL weekend! I' am so grateful for my husband and my older sissy who is my b.f.f. Friday night R and I rented Valentines Day ate popcorn and gummy bears and just bonded. Saturday I got a little tickle up my ars and had the bright idea to go hiking. At first R and I were just going to do a little 2 mile hike up Big Cottonwood Canyon (by Brighton) and take it easy. However, sissy had other plans in mind so we bucked up and hiked Lake Blanche. It is a 6.64 mile hike and you gain 2700 ft in elevation it is a very strenuous hike but once you get to the mountain top it is breathtaking! There are 3 lakes up there Lake Blanche, Lake Florence, and Lake Lillian! It was AMAZING and so worth the pain I am feeling today!! I'm so glad R and I are in good shape and can just go up and hike such a beautiful mountain! If you are in UT I highly recommed this hike you can find info on it here! There was still a good 3 feet of snow and the lake was still frozen but we were so hott and so hungry on the way to the top the snow didn't even phase us! I was a lil' scared of sliding to my death but I did overcome it! I think I lost about 5 pds and gained it in muscle! Here are some fun pics to recap all the craziness!

Hard Work

As I have mentioned in previous posts we are COMPLETLY tearing out our backyard and putting in a new one! Its been one heck of a process and still needs a ton of work! A few weekend ago my sweet FIL, my dad, BIL, and husband put in our new fence and oh man does it look soooo good!! A lot of our neighbors were saying how good our backyard had already looked! ME: Are you people freaking crazy? My house is a dirt pit and my backyard is a desert!" Since the previous owners never took care of it our fence is the talk of the neighborhood and even a few neighbors have put in new fences. (yes, I have always been a trendsetter) I'm sad I only have 1 photo of the event! Here ya go! I will put up more as our yard gets closer to bragging rights! :]
