Phat

Okay. I know, once you get married you gain a little weight, blah blah blah... it's normal... blah.

But seriously? 15 lbs since I met this man?! I'm kinda pissed. I know, you're thinking "Melissa just go work out! it's not that hard!" Um, yeah. It is. I hate working out with a passion and my husband hates ALL vegetables except corn and potatoes. (they both have noo nutritional value AT ALL.) I try secretly adding them to dinner but he can just look at it and know that vegetables are in it. He can read veggie's minds. I'm not being a baby and blogging about my pathetic weight gain for no reason.. you see, my blog is my only friend now. HA! much more pathetic than you thought!

Well, I will be a hottie again soon. Right now I look like a pregnant vampire with my pale skin and dark hair and bulging tum. But don't you worry... come summer time i'll be a somewhat-tanned, less-pregnant vampire that is on a vacation from being a vampire.

Prentend that this wasn't lame and that i'm awesome?
Thanks bloggers!

Sincerely,
Melissa the Vampiress

thank goodness

I finally have a new job!
 I have been searching sooo long and it's been really hard. I have applied to almost everyplace in STG and went on a couple interviews with zilch luck.

On wed I went on an interview @ Mountain America Credit Union and I did sooo awesome! Well at least I felt like I did... they told me I would know by friday if I got the job.

So i'm chillin at work (at Lin's) on thursday and I get a call and a voicemail from them. I quickly faked that I needed to pee and ran to the bathroom and imediately called them back.

they told me I got the job! like 24 hours after I interviewed! HOORAY!

I will have a set schedule and get paid much better than I do at Lin's and the manager is the sweetest lady ever named Ellie.
I am so excited mostly because it is like one minute away from our house AND I get to wear cute clothes to work! NO MORE APRON!

They are sending me up to SLC this sunday the 30th for a whole 5 days for training, I'm staying in a hotel in Jordan Landing and they pay for everything- and I get paid full time while i'm training. wahoo!

The last interviews I went on I thought I did really well, and I totally didn't get those jobs. I have been really discouraged because I have been praying for help to find a new job for months, going to the temple, and fasting. I have been confused why I didn't get the last job I interviewd so well for.
I know my Heavenly Father had a plan for me and those jobs were not the right one for me, they would have definitely stopped me from being able to go to school in the mornings and spend time with my husband. I am grateful that my Father in Heaven has been looking out for me and answered my prayers just when I felt like giving up.

^ that's me on the day of my interview

and I mean come on, how could they not hire me... I'm soo darling!

I'm so blessed. I am overwhelmed with how lucky I am to have so many wonderful people in my life, so many awesome experiences, and so many nice things.

Life is goooood.

Married Life: post wedding recap

Okay, so I am putting off my Lib 1010 assignment and blogging instead.
Please don't judge me, just listen.
I am finally going to fill you all in on how much fun married life is! Hooray! Life after the wedding/honeymoon starts here.

That's us on Thanksgiving.

November 25th 2010, almost 3 weeks after our weddin' day.

 Don't we look fat and happy? Please don't answer that... 

It's like since the second we were husband and wife, I have an uncontrollable knack for eating everything in my sight. Eating is one of my favorite hobbies, and just so happens I married a man exactly like me. Don't get me wrong, it totally rocks my socks. But this girl is now having a hard time fitting into her work pants... which were pretty loose when she bought them a year ago.

We are now into December. Our first Christmas being married! Awwww. Cute. While on our honeymoon in Disneyland we bought these adorable Christmas ornaments of mickey and minnie in their wedding outfits. I would not leave Disneyland until our first Christmas ornaments were purchased. I don't have a pic of those but here's our little Christmas tree.

All of our ornaments were not on yet, and we have no presents underneath... but it has character, right? Right. It turned out pretty beautiful to me at least.

Christmas was really fun, we went up north and spent Christmas Eve until the day after Christmas at Scot's parents house in West Valley. It was really different being away from my Mommy and family on Christmas, I really missed them! But we had a second Christmas when we got home the following Monday so it's alll goood.

Oh! and in December, another monumental event happened. Scoty traded his two dirt bikes in for a boat! It literally has been his dream since before he was born. and he is SO happy. We picked it up from his parents house where it was being kept and towed it home on the way back to St. George after Christmas.

In a snow storm.

But we survived! Fantastic! For a while there I was a little worried... because we could barely see the road in front of us, but it all worked out and now his sweet, sweet mastercraft is sitting in our condo driveway. We basically are counting down the days until it's warm enough to go out to the lake. Well he is, I'm not so excited about the lake because that equals swimsuit and I have canceled that attire out of my wardrobe until I control my feasting habit.

Ahhh, hello 2011. Here already? Guess so.

We spent New Years Eve as any 81 year old grandparents would. We went out to eat at our favorite restaurant and payed using a sweet gift-certificate coupon and wandered on home to watch a short movie and fell asleep around 10:30 p.m. Yes, we are party animals.

We enjoy it this way.

So now you are pretty up to date besides the fact that I dyed my hair dark brown.

This is very surprising information in case you didn't know. I have been blond for 5 years. (unnaturally, of course) When I was 15 years old I decided I wanted blond streaks in my hair and it basically escalated from there.

Going into a blurry phase of platinum, almost white locks with many, many Paris Hilton/Barbie look alike references.

I decided to end the madness and let the world know my true identity and impulsivly bought a box of hair color and now you have this:

Please ignore the 15 year old annoying kissy-camera face I have going on in this pic. I was delusional from the drastic change, okay? This is the end result. Quite different, but I like it. And so do 70 % of my co-workers and customers that actually recognize me instead of the 30 % that ask if i'm the "new girl".

Well, there you have it. That's basically our life [so far] in a nutshell. I left out the part where our new major hobby is watching 'The Office' every night, we started at season one probably a little more than a month ago. We are now on season 6 and going strong. Once that ends, I don't know what we'll do.

We love being married.

Ta-da.

             Hope you enjoyed my procrastinating as much as I did,

Melissa.
