Lazy Sundays...

Sundays are very low-key for us. Are they that way for anyone else? We have church bright and early starting at 8 AM (yes, that's right) and get home at 11! So for the rest of they day it's pj's, free movies from Netflix, and a lot of eating. :) I know this probably sounds like sinning and we should be more productive, but our weeks are really crazy hectic and it's kinda nice to be able to just chill on Sundays. It is a day of rest ya know. And as life goes on our precious Sundays are just gonna get more and more hectic so we wanna soak it up now! We did have our home teacher (yes he was alone. sad) come teach us today. That was kinda fun. It was our first home teacher since we've been married!

DATE NIGHT!

Yay for Fridays! The week can be pretty stressful and mundane with school and work and blah blah, so Hayden and I like to get out and do something fun! Thursday night we went Latin dancing and met our new friend whose name is Will. :) He works at Comedy Sportz and told us to come to his show on Friday so we did! Who doesn't like to see people make fools of themselves and laugh until your face hurts?? It was really fun! All the actors were really good and we can't wait to go back!

Just Because...

Hayden and I loved not having school yesterday! It was nice to be together and catch up on homework and stuff, although Hayden did still have to work. :( Why do we have to work and pay bills and be adults? i just want to be with my hubby and my family and ENJOY. Hehe...but things are going good. Nothing really exciting...I wish there was something exciting to share...Brian got accepted to BYU! That's cool. I am really excited to have him live here by us! I really need/want a job way bad and yes I have looked, every day, and will continue to do so. It is just a little difficult to fit work in around school and vice versa. The more i am at home bored and alone while Hayden is at work, the more I realize I need a job. Here's a little update about me: I love to cook! I mean, I have always liked cooking a lot...I usually always made dessert for my family on Sundays. But now I really love it and look forward to doing it! Especially because I am constantly finding and trying out new Vegan recipes for Hayden and I. It is like a little experiment. Also, I had a thought today...won't it be weird when my kids are older and they look at this blog! They'll be like, "Mom you were such a dork," and "Dad you were hot, what happened?" haha I know I love looking back at my parents old photos and reading their journals and stuff to see the people they used to be and still are. Good times. Well, until next time...

Snow Snow Go Away

Although we really don't like the cold, we are usually inside all day on Sunday, so we decided to go out and get some fresh air. We bundled up and went for a walk, played in some snow, and even salsa danced. Haha I know...we are cool. Fun night though!

Sunny Arizona with the Muraski's

We decided to go visit Jodi and her family in warm Arizona with our rental car while our car was in the shop. Jodi is the activities president for her ward and had a dance planned one of the nights we were gonna be there. Good thing we came to the rescue because she definitely out did herself!! We hung all those lights and tool across the ceiling which took hours! The activity turned out very nice though!

Oops

So I think I am a pretty good driver. For some reason on this day I backed out of a carport way to hastily and BAM! There it was. A big metal pole smashed into the side of our 2007 Honda Fit. Accidents happen right? I've never seen Hayden so quiet. That's what insurance is for!!

Our Besties Had Twins!!!

Our best friends Shelli and Mike had twins some weeks ago! They are two precious beautiful girls named Karsyn and Jocelyn. Mike and Shelli haven't even been married a year yet but they knew what they wanted and went for it...although it was a BIG surprise to everyone when they found out they were having twins!!! So much fun!!!

HAPPY HEART DAY!

Oh Valentines Day! What a silly but fun Holiday. Hayden and I started our day at the gym and then went to the temple. I made one of Haydens favorite dinners(it's hard to find places to eat out at when you're a vegan!) and we watched a movie. Then Hayden gave me a much needed full body massage and a heart-felt letter. It was so nice to be together and not have work or school! Bye bye chocolate!

Selling With The Enemy

Over the Summer Hayden was employed by Platinum Protection Security Systems. Now back in Provo he has gotten a job with the rival company...APX Alarms. Haha I think it is funny and ironic. APX is a good company and has been around a long time. Hayden is a sales rep for them doing inbound sales. Basically he tries to sell people over the phone on getting a security system. He just finished his week of training on Friday so we will see how it goes! Hayden of course excels in everything he does.

THE CHINA STUDY

SO this semester for one the health classes I am taking I had to read a book related to health issues. My teacher recommended a book called The China Study. My grandma and mom and others have read this book as well. The book is basically about how bad animal and dairy products are for you and how society is completely confused about health. It is backed by tins and tons of research and studies. Well it had a BIG impact on me and so....Hayden and I are vegans. Yes, it is true. We have been for over 3 weeks now!! It has not been hard AT ALL and we feel soooo great! There are tons and tons of great vegan recipes. Basically you eat what is in your house, so I don't buy anything with any animal or dairy products in them, so we don't eat them! It's simple. The pictures above are of course of us in our pre-vegan days. :)

OuR cUtE lItTlE HoMe!!

Here are two pics from our new little apartment. We love it! And we know it may not look like much, but you didn't see it before we decorated! We live in the basement of a little old ghetto white house. It is small and simple and works perfect for us(the rent is amazing too)! I have to admit Hayden did most of the decorating...he's great with that stuff(as he is with EVERYTHING...my brother thinks he is Batman). In addition to the pictures we also have a desk/computer area, a small bathroom and an even smaller kitchen. :)

BACK TO CALI!

So a few weeks ago Hayden and I went BACK to California to visit the fam. We just couldn't help ourselves! the weather there is beautiful and the company is superb. We had a wonderful time! We went to Santa Monica beach and it was absolutely gorgeous! The weather, the water, the food, everything! We even went on a little boat ride and got up close and personal with some cute dazing sea lions!
