studying for finals... who needs it?

I WAS- A wizard in my former life. And had a talking dog sidekick. That was my best friend.

I AM- Now a married gal with the "sweetest" hubby & life I could ask for. Sweet.

I THINK-  Rarely. If ever.

I WONDER-  Why oh why are some people allowed out of their houses and wander into my place of work on days when I am fresh out of patience?

I WISH- I was a bajillionaire. Like a millionaire, but foxier.

I SAVE- Love notes my husband writes me so I can show them to our grand kids when we are 100 and still in love.

I ALWAYS- Am thinking about food. See me looking off  into space with my eyes glazed over? I am reminiscing about what I had for lunch.

I CAN'T- Do math that well. Which is funny, cause I work at a credit union. Where I am surrounded by math and decimals.

I BELIEVE- I have the greatest mother on the planet earth. She even rivals the other great mothers that inhabit different planets.

I PROMISE- To never let myself weigh over 350 lbs.

I LOVE- My husband. and jelly beans.

Easter & other tidbits

I am not really that consistent with blogging, am I? I always forget about my little blog... poor guy. (Yes, my blog is a boy.)

I guess I should fill you in on what's been going on in my not so exciting life!

Last week I helped my little sister pick out a prom dress. I also did her hair for prom and took pics of her and her date :) I never was asked to my senior prom... my good looks must have intimidated them. They didn't want me to out-shine them on prom night... or at any other dance. dangit.

Anyways.. here's some cute photos of her on the day of the dance.

I mean how could you not want to take me to a dance? My beauty is overwhelming!

Seriously.

Oh, and my little sister is taller than me.

:)

Easter was a lot of fun this year with Scoty dear. I woke up Easter morning to Scot staring at me saying, "I wonder if the Easter bunny brought you anything?"

I went into our living room and there sat an Easter basket filled with candies! & deoterant "the easter bunny is practical" and a stuffed puppy dog with bunny ears on :) I almost cried when I saw the little toy puppy. I had this awesome dream the other night-- the whole entire time I was playing with so many puppies! I was in heaven. Cause I love me a cute pup. Some people find this dream kinda weird (my coworkers) but it was the best dream of my life. Besides the one where I was queen of Disneyland.

Off topic for a sec- To satisfy my longing for cuddling an adorable doggy, I ventured over to Sue's Pet Castle on saturday and saw this little boy:

Ahh he was so cute! I almost stole him and put him in my purse.

Just kidding, Sue!

Back to our topic- 

After eating a large helping of jelly beans and chocolate, we headed off to our 1 o'clock church meeting. Our ward is so gigantic, I bet there is like 800 people in relief society alone... okay exaggerating, but it is giant and I don't know a soul. It makes it seem so much longer!

We went over to my parent's house and ate even more candy from our adorable Easter baskets my mom put together and waited for my sister to get off work- yeah she had to work on Easter! We ate more food of course, and had an Easter egg hunt.

Emily wins literally every year no matter how hard my brothers and I try to beat her, she always prevails.

Until Scot came to town.

He totally won and my little brothers were so peeved! Haha, it was so much fun!

We had so much fun, our first Easter being married! I can't wait for the many more holidays to come.

Well, that's about it for the Sweets... 'cept I went to the DMV today to change my name on my lisence and I dislike that place very much. Ugly people convention.

See ya.



Reunited

Guess what pals!!

My best friends that moved up north stopped by last night on their way to Las Vegas and we got to play!

I haven't seen them since the wedding which was like 41 years ago.(Yes, i have been married that long)  It was so much fun to see them again!

I'm obsessed with you girls!

We went out for sushi, which was a tradition with us... we ate sushi aaaalll the time. So, when the sushi came to our table I was quite excited because i haven't eaten it for a very long time.

I pick up a peice with my chopsticks aannd...

it was the nastiest thing i've ever eaten.

MY TASTE BUDS HAVE CHANGED

 AND NO LONGER ENJOY EXTRAVAGENT RAW FISH AND SEAWEED.

I almost spit it out but I swallowed it painfully and wallowed in my newfound discovery of my dwindeling taste for "hip" cuisine. 

So, I ate the rest of my fried rice and when I got home had a bowl of cereal. Yup.

I took a couple of pictures but I'm missing half of the group!

^^ me and my twin.

We have the same brain pretty much and when I had super blond hair, EVERYONE asked us if we were twins. Even though we don't look at all alike, our blond hair somehow made us siblings...we're still twins even with my brown hair and pasty skin. She is just the cooler one. :)

 

me, taylor and brooklyn.

I don't know where Tia, Angela, and Tasha wandered off to... I will need to steal them away soon and get some pics with them.

It was fun to be reunited and laugh with them!

Miss you girls!

Love, your married best friend

Spring Fever

Whhhaaat uuupppp bloggas!
I am so ready for this cold weather to be gone! It's really cramping my style. and I don't fit into any of my pants anymore. So I would like shorts season to come around.

To brighten our place up I thought I should get some "spring" like decor to add some nice color. (our place is mostly different shades or brown and red... fall colors) So, I dug out my Tai Pan Trading gift card I got for a wedding present and went shopping with my Mom! Wahoo!
I only had 20 something dollars on my gift card so I tried to find things that were cheap... which isn't easy in Tia Pan... uhh. But here are some of the items I bought that are really adorable :)

I didn't get pics of the rest of the cute stuff I got but these are just a couple. Tai Pan had the CUTEST flower spring-time wreaths with so many different varieties of flowers and colors... but they ranged from 24 $ - 57 $! HOLY no! They were so darling, so I thought, why not make one myself and save like 30 thousand dollars? And here is my finished product:

It turned out pretty cute :) It cost like a total of 4 dollars to make too. Yay for being thrifty!

Anyways, I thought I'd let you guys know what has been going on lately... not much though. We have been working out butts off to get good grades in our classes and we can't wait till this semester is over and we can take our boat out without worrying about homework!!! Yeeeeaaaah.
We are in love and having fun... we really want a vacation soon too. I would appreciate a nice week in Hawaii. Har, har... like that would ever happen! ;)
This post was really boring and not even funny... sorry ladies. (i'm assuming only girls read this blog.. but if I am mistaken... sorry dudes.)

Here's a recent pic of me... and no I don't have any of my husband. He runs when a camera approaches.

Pretend I'm cute?

Thanks for reading this Liz! I know you're the only one ;)

Love,
Mrs. Sweet.

Busy Bee

Hi fellas.
I know I don't blog very  much and I know nobody really cares, except perhaps that one lone person that reads my blog now and then. But I appreciate you, lone wolf. I do.

Have I told you guys how busy I have been lately? Obviously not because I never get on here... let me tell you now! I started my new job and I totally rock at it. and i get to wear cute clothes to work. and I totally rock at it. Besides the fact that I am super awesome at being a teller at a credit union, I am doing exceptionally well in my college classes also.
You must be proud.

It's been tough to get all the things done in the day that I need to and still have the will to live till the morning to start over and do it all again.
That's putting it lightly.

Ha, no but it's been refreshing... having so many tasks and responsibilities to concur. Not to mention feeding my husband... and making sure we have clothes that don't smell like garbage.
Plus, I potted some adorable flowers today with my mom in these cutesy pots that now harbor in our condo that I also must keep alive.

I now know what it feels like to be a grown up. As much as a weirdo 20 year old can. But I turn 21 in 5 months (which is way close, but not according to Scoty) so I'm basically like a grandma.

I am really putting off my 8 page research paper that I am writing on gender discrimination in the workplace and how women should be payed equal to men. Don't ask me where I got this topic... probably some idea from my marriage and family class. Anyways, my rough draft is due in like 32 hours and I have my name on the paper so far. I don't know what my english teacher expected from us... she didn't even give us a week from when we got all our sources to get this thing banged out. I kinda hate her... but not really because she is really nice and cute and looks as old as I am but she is almost done with her doctorate degree at UNLV. So I actually kinda do hate her.

Enough procrastinating, even though I wasn't really because I just finished writing a different paper for my other class... I do have a bed time and my hubster fell asleep on the couch watching Scrubs pretending to do his math homework so I must go awake him.

I am sooo exciting!!!!!!!!

Not.

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.

:)
