Just in case...

Just in case anyone really cares...I added my bridal pictures online so they can be viewed. I would actually like some feed back because I need to choice one for a 16x20 for my parent's. The one I picked looked funny and my nephew also drew all over it. So, if you have a moment just look and them and comment on which one you think would be a good one for my parents to have on their wall next to Andrea's. Thanks!! Oh, there is a link to my bridal pictures on the side under pictures.

New Year's Resolutions

So, I normally don't set New Year's Resolutions, but I thought I would this year. So here you go!
1. Read at least 12 new books this year. (I have actually already finished one) It should be a good goal because there are a lot of books that I haven't read that I really want to read. And this resolution is for books I haven't ever read before, not books that I am rereading.
2. Read my scriptures everyday.  I struggle with this sometimes, especially if I have had a late night. But the month of January is being spent trying to find a really good time to read them and just go from there. I have only a missed 2 days this month, so I think I'm doing better!
3. Read the Book of Mormon at least twice through. This one will probably be my hardest, but I am determined!
4. Write down impressions when I receive them. For example, in church, when something really stands out to me I need to write it down to remember it!
5. Make a green smoothie at least 4 times a week. Really struggling with this one because our New year has actually been really really busy, but Blake and I both want to do this to help us be just a little bit healthier.
6. Go to Curves 3 to 4 times a week. I was already doing this, so I want to keep on going! I love Curves!

And that's all I can think of right now. I think it will help me to stay more focused on the important things in life rather then just leaving it all up to chance. I am hoping to get myself into a habit with all of these things, so that I will just do them. But we all know how habits are...sometimes they are hard to break, but most of the time, if you aren't dedicated, then they just fall through the cracks. Hopefully writing them down and seeing them frequently will help me to keep up with them and just try to do a little better this year.

Christmas!

Yes, I am finally writing about Christmas. Christmas this year was interesting. For some reason I was kind of ornery. That the best way to enjoy Christmas, but I guess just the stress of being around family all day everyday was just taking it's toll by that day. I love my family and Blake's family dearly, but sometimes...I just can't handle being around a lot of people all of the time. But all in all it was a great Christmas! Blake got me a new set of scriptures with my married name on it. I was actually really surprised! I think I mentioned to him once that I should get new scriptures because if I lost my scriptures in church no one would know who Aubrie Clegg was but us and my cousin Becca! He also got me a new jewelry cabinet/box thing. I really like it! I have been wearing more earrings and such because all of my jewelry is actually organized! Wahoo!!
Blake got an Xbox 360 and a few games to go with it. He loves it! It's actually really fun for him to be able to play Halo with all of his buddies who have Xbox's. Even though he knew he was getting an Xbox, he was still really excited to open it. Lol.
We also got a lot of things from our parents. We were really spoiled this year!! I think our favorite things were a new Bluray player with a ton of movies to go with it, and Blake loves this new gadget he got where he can control all of our electronics...tv, Wii, Bluray, Xbox...etc all from his phone! It's actually really cool! So this is another Thank you to all of those who gave us gifts! You are all amazing! Here is a picture from Christmas Eve that my cousin Becca took of Blake and I.
  
Not the best picture of us, but that's the only one taken of us around Christmas that I have. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happier New Year!!

Oh boy...update needed!

So, Blake has officially taken over my laptop. It's easier to take to school then his, so I only get to use my laptop when he is sleeping. Lol. You might be thinking, why don't you just use his laptop? Here is the reason...I try and I fail. His laptop is just set up the way he likes it, so it's just hard for me to get use to. I'd rather just not mess with it. But since he has horded mine...it's similarly set up like his laptop. I just can't win. Luckily, I still have my tablet (NEWSFLASH!! I got a Samsung tablet from my parent's for graduation. I love it!) but I can't update my blog using my tablet. But Blake takes the tablet to his parent's house, or to school, so sometimes I don't even have that! Are you sensing a pattern? Yes, Blake has full control over all electronics! Should this bug me? I would say yes, but for the most part he makes sure it's ok with me before he takes things or changes thing. But there are other times where he just does it even though I say no...hmm...interesting?

Anyways, on a slightly more happier topic, I finally got a job!! I work at Primary Children's medical center. It is probably the greatest place to work! My co-workers are great and they really are interested in getting to know me better and wanting to help me out the best they can. It's great to actually have a career and to be doing what I learned in college and apply my learning. Even though I'm only working part time, I still get extra hours just in case someone is sick or just needs to have someone cover their shift.  Primary Children's moto is "The child first and always." Whenever I see that I know my job is stressful, but it's worth it. I always think, "What if this were my child, wouldn't I want the best care taken for them as possible?" That makes me do my job better and more careful.

Last, but not least, my sister is prego!!! I get a new niece or nephew in April. We are all so excited! Hoping to  be able to visit them when the baby is born. We'll see. :)

Time for an update!

So, I'm done with school. Yes, totally done with school. I can't believe it! I'm a BYU graduate!!! Wahoo! Blake and I are celebrating/relaxing after a long six months of an internship. Now, the job hunt begins. I have applied for a few jobs and even have gotten an interview, but I haven't heard back from any of them. Ugh. I guess that's what happens after college!

Funny Moments from when Andrea, Brian and the kids were here. :)

There were a lot of things that happened while Andrea was here, but here are a few funny moments where I couldn't hide my laughter, even for a second.

We went to see Suessical the musical at the HCTO and here is what Emily said. "Aub-Aub, that man couldn't be the Cat-in-the-Hat, he doesn't have any fur! But he is sure funny!"

Another Suessical moment. Emily: "Mommy, can you ask the pink bird if I can have her tail? Her tail is my favorite!"

Gavin: "Aub-Aub where my jacket!?" "I don't know Gavin, did you ask Grandma." "No...GRANDMA, WHERE MY JACKET!!??!!" (He yelled it and she was standing right next to me.

Brian: "Where's Blake, is he sleeping?" "No, he is playing the Wii in the living room." "Oh, ok." (A few days later...) Gavin: "Aub-Aub is Blake.....is Blake.....is Blake.....sleeping?" (probably my favorite moment)

Emily: "Aub-Aub remember when we watching Singin' in the Rain and that guy fell through the wall! He was trying to jump and he just fell through the wall! (then giggling) That was my favorite part!"

Emily playing the Wii. "Blake, do you want to play Mario party?" "Not really." "I'm going to add you anyways..."

Gavin with Otis. "I want a Otis hug!" "Ok...you can try and give him a hug" (Otis laying on the ground not knowing what was going to happen next. "I love Otis," said Gavin then preceded to lay on top of Otis and give him a hug. Let's just say Otis didn't like it, but it was super cute!

Gavin: "Aub-Aub I wanna go outside!" "We can't dude, it's raining." "WHAT?" "It's raining" "WHAT?" (he was pretending he couldn't hear me.) "It's raining".... "It's rainin'....but I want to go OUTSIDE!!!"

There were a few other good ones, like when Andrea, Brian, Blake and I would play the Wii for hours at night. Scene it, Tetris, and Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, and Bomberman! Brian went on this Harry Potter kick where we had to watch all of the Harry Potter movies in one week. It was really fun to have them here and we wish them good luck on their new adventure to West Virginia!! YAY!!

Slumber party!

My sister and her family is in town for the whole month of April and my niece (who is 5) wanted to have a family sleepover!! It was super fun! Blake, my mom, the kids and I all slept in the living room, while the lame-o's (Brian, Andrea and my dad) went and slept in their very comfortable beds. During the party we had pizza, popcorn, root beer and marshmallows! We watch Singing in the Rain and Harry Potter the Deadly Hallow part 1. The kids were a bit on the grumpy side the next day, but we still had a lot of fun! I'm lame and didn't take any pictures. But at least you got to read all about our slumber party!! :)
