Still a bummer, sorry guys

I need to get out of this funk I'm in.  Its like depression-ville has left the station and has taken permanent residence inside my mind.  I'm not normally a depressed person, I mean I have my bad days (doesn't everyone) but lately.  I feel like I'm missing something.

Missing my marbles
Missing the sunshine
Missing something??

Missing my mom.

She'll be home today. Maybe my life will get a little better?

Thoughts on how to get me happy?

Appreciate it!

I know... I shouldn't Blog

I'm terrible at this. I use to be so good but guys... My life is so hectic right now. I really don't want to complain, but I've been so busy with all the crap that's happening right now, I haven't done anything blog worthy. I thought I would get a chance to blog last week during spring break, but as you can tell that didn't happen.  I am stressed.

I really need school to be over... only 28 more school days until Graduation.  I'm so done.

I am not even remotely interested in anything that is going on in any of my classes. I get homework, and look at it.... like, nah, not today.

I'm also really tired... all the time.

I'm ready for summer. Sunshine.

I'm ready for my time to be my own

I'm ready to leave work and be done for the day.

I'm sorry this post is so melancholy. I'm just... BLEH

I need the sun.

Sorry!

I know it's been a long time since I've posted.  I do have a good excuse though, We moved...

I know kinda lame, but it was hard work and we have spend a LOT of time unpacking, not to mention, also going to school, and working two jobs, it was tough, but totally worth it. We are still not completely unpacked, but we will get there eventually.

keys to the house!

us in front of the new house on moving day

We are also babysitting Max for my mom and dad because they are on their CRUISE! 

So life has been hectic. Mazee doesn't like sharing the attention.  

March = Green

2. Keith was "sort of" dating someone when we met and started to hang out.

{Answers to April's Questions} 

Q: Did you ever have an imaginary friend growing up? What was his.her name? 

A: I didn't have an imaginary friend, but I did have a stuffed animal (PJ from Barney) that I loved and talked to quite often.

Q: Have you ever broken any bones?

A: I fractured my right wrist when I was in 4th grade.  My brothers friend hit me with a bean bag.

Q: How do you sleep? Back, Side, Stomach?

A: Usually, I sleep on my stomach.

Q: What is your favorite song?

A: This is really hard to answer because I like a lot of songs and my favorite song is always changing, but I guess I would have to say... Better Dig Two by The Band Perry.  My next choices are On My Own and I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables.

Q: What is your comfort food?

A: Mac & Cheese and Hot Dogs. (Healthy I know)

Q: Describe your favorite outfit.

A: T-Shirt, jeans, tennis shoes.  

Q: Best Date?

A: Best date thus far in my life was when Keith and I went to the Lady Antebellum concert on Valentines, had a romantic dinner, and got lost in Salt Lake.

Ideal date?: Dinner at home, cuddling on the couch.

Q: If you could watch one movie for the rest of your life, what movie would it be?

A: ANOTHER hard question.  My favorite movie changes minute to minute.  I guess right at this moment, it would be Les Miserables (the 2012 movie) OR Finding Neverland.

Q: What is one weird quirk that you have?

A: Weird quirk, you'd have to ask by husband.  I guess I would say its probably that I treat my dog like she is my child.  She even goes to day care (at my parents).

Dear Me: Life really is good.  Sometimes, you REALLY need to remember that. Dear Keith: I love you more than life.  You're my best friend and my hero, you're so patient with me and you make me realize when I'm being CRAZY!  Dear Utah Weather: MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!  Dear 2013: You are moving incredibly quickly, it is already FEBRUARY!! Dear Readers:  I appreciate you reading my blog.  Even though sometimes I wonder if anyone reads it at all! (see the 4 followers?) Dear 4 Followers: Thank you DEARLY for following me and letting me know that someone really is reading this. Dear Mom: You're amazing and I love you. You make me strong when I feel so weak. Dear Uterus: COOPERATE!!! (sorry TMI) Dear Grandma and Grandpa Nielson: It's been 14 years since you left us and I miss you everyday.  Everyday I wonder what my life would have been like if you had been in it longer.  In the short 5 years I knew you, you touched my life more than you know. I know you're watching over me and loving me every minute!  I love you two, and I hope I've made you proud.
