What's on Your Feet?!

First off...I'd like to apologize for my tardiness...life has been a little too hectic this week. Stuff I probably won't blog about to the whole world. However here I am, a day late and a dollar short. I hope you guys enjoy! Okaaayyy here it is! The moment you have all been waiting for!

Holy cow...could I look any more creepy???? Possessed much? haha LINK UP with us!!!

Sunday Scheduling!

For some reason after I take a vacation I want to be lazy and do nothing and that is exactly what I did last week. I don't regret it one bit...ok maybe one bit...but that's all! And that is why I am making a plan this week! There are three major things I am planning to accomplish this week...

1. Cook Dinner this week Monday through Friday

Shane and I seriously eat out almost every night. Last week we tried to cook some pasta and we bought this vodka sauce that was supposed to be really good and honest to God it tasted like ketchup mixed with cheese and milk. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. We went and got mexican food instead.

Some Hawaiian meatballs I am going to try out this week! {via}

2. Go To The Gym In The Morning Every Day This Week

While we're being honest...I also missed a whole week of going to the gym while having my post vacation laziness. So now I am ready to kick my butt into gear and keep this competition between Shane and I going! We have decided to extend our Fitness Challenge until my big brothers wedding on September 14th! Wish me luck!

3. Prepare For The What's On Your Feet Vlog

Yes, you heard me right! What in the world is on your feet?! I am the PRO at procrastinating...not something I'm proud of...and I would like to prepare a little for this Vlog. I have so many shoes that I love and some that I don't love but can't part with. I am excited to show off my little shoesies on our next vlog link up! Make sure your guys join in!!

Family Fun Time!

There are two types of people I consider my family at this point in my life. The first is obviously my blood related family, and the second is Shane's family. They are both absolutely wonderful families and I can't wait until I am officially a part of Shane's family one day!

Earlier this summer Shane and I had planned on going to California in August like we did last year. It was soooo much fun last year and we spent way too much money. Which is why we decided to maybe cancel our California plans and go visit our families up north. Best. Idea. Ever. Let me break it down for you...we decided to drive up to Wyoming to stay with Shane's sister and her wonderful husband and kids and then drive down to stay with my family!

Last Year in California

Staying with Sarrah and her family was seriously so much fun! Something you need to know about Shane's family is that they are all so easy going and hilarious. The only down side was that her adorable girls weren't there. But on the upside her equally adorable little boys were there. We all went to the outlets in Park City and shopped till we dropped! Literally. Then as if that wasn't enough we decided it would be a good idea to go to Ogden to go shopping at the best store in the world TJMAXX. We stayed in a historic hotel that was supposedly haunted....no ghost stories though. I can't even tell you how fun it was to hang out with Sarrah and Justin. I seriously love being around them and their cute little family. 

After our shopping day in Park City!

We made our way down to my parents house and ended off the week celebrating my beautiful Mama's birthday and boating our little hearts out for the first time this summer. Not to mention we got to hang out with my wonderful little sister Kjandyce, my big brother Braxton and his fiance Ashley. They are getting married in Septemeber! But that is another story for another day! It was so nice to finally get out on the boat with my family! Shane talked Kjand into trying to wakesurf and she agreed to try! She got up and loved it! I think my parents loved that weekend the most seeing all of us kids together having a good time. 

The Girls out on the boat! My mom is on the left and my little sister is on the right!

Kjand on the Wakesurf! She is so dang cute!

Needless to say, Shane and I had a wonderful time with our families. There are not too many things in life that are more important than family. I love love love my family more than most things. This was definitely the best alternative to California.

Ohhh Friday....

Can I get a TGIF?! I am one happy lady that it is Friday! I love the weekends...but then again who doesn't?? There is just something about Friday, Saturday, and Sunday that makes everyone nicer....No wonder people name their babies after those days! I mean I have NEVER met someone named Monday.....have you?? Speaking of names...Ashley is a wonder name! She is also the wonderful host of Friday's letters and I am obsessed so...here they ARE!

Dear BodyRock:

Dear Shane:

I love you so darn much! Thank you for kicking my butt into gear on Tuesday and getting me to workout so that I wouldn't feel crappy all day! :) I love that you are so excited about the Olympics it makes me want to just kiss you! Also..your determination is so inspiring and I KNOW that you have so many wonderful things coming your way! You are a wonderful person and thank you for being so great to me. I love you.

Isn't he such a cutie??

Dear Nails: 

I have decided the design I chose for you was my brain throwing up onto my hands. You all are out of control and a yellow, flowery, striped, bumblebee something mess! haha but if that is what my brain looks like when it can't make up a decision I will take it! Much better than a poop color or something! So I have decided to accept you for the next three weeks and rock you like I planned on getting you done exactly like that! :)

 

Dear Followers:

I love you all! Seriously! Thank you so much for commenting and reading my posts! I love reading all of your comments and replying to you! It honestly makes my day when I open my email and see the comments I have gotten from you! :) So thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Dear Next Week:

You are going to be awesome! I am so stoked to get out of Cedar and chill with mine and Shane's awesome family! WOO! Also it's our 2 year anniversary on the 3rd! (Dating NOT married...obviously) haha 

I hope you all have a great weekend! Enjoy the wonderful Olympics!

The Itsy Bitsy Spider...

I couldn't even put a picture of a real spider because I got too freaked out searching them....{via}

I have a legitimate fear of spiders. I always have and I'm pretty sure I always will. Except it's not a fear where I kill them immediately or run out of the room. I just freeze...I can't take my eyes off of that creepy crawly eight legged monster. I am terrified if I look away this creature will magically disappear and end up on my body or even worse in my hair where it will immediately lay eggs...even if it isn't pregnant. And so I sit, frozen in fear staring at the stupid spider. Which brings me to this story....

It was a late gloomy Friday night, Shane was helping his brother Travis set up for the yard sale we were having the next day and I was home alone. I was in the kitchen cleaning up a few things and walked over to the garbage to throw away some trash. I literally screamed and jumped back about 4 feet when in the corner of my eye I saw it moving...yes, it was a creepy, long legged, thirsty for my blood, probably pregnant, spider. I could almost hear it drooling at the thought of eating me alive. I immediately called Shane to tell him to hurry over to my house and kill this monster. Of course...he didn't answer. So I tried again, no answer. It looked like I was on my own to fend for myself...just me and this starving ugly spider.

I sat there frozen and decided I couldn't go all night just standing in my kitchen having a stare off with this blood thirsty thing, but there was no way in hell I would be able to just leave it and go to bed. I needed a way to kill this spider without getting any closer than two feet. HAIRSPRAY! (of all things to pop into my head at a moment like this...) So I walked backwards to my bathroom, keeping my eye on the spider, and quickly snagged my wet hairspray as well as my aerosol hairspray. You can never be too prepared when killing a spider. I proceeded back over to my nemesis.

I got in my defensive stance, aerosol hairspray in one hand and my herbal essence wet hairspray in the other, took a deep breath and BAM I went to town on that freaky thing! He wasn't going to give up though...he kept running around and weaving his sticky web. I decided if I was going to come out of this battle alive I needed something stronger. I reached to the cupboard beside me and grabbed out my kitchen cleaners...thank God for 409 and Green Works...I started with the green works and ended with the good old 409.

It was a long and hard battle but in the end I came out alive. Shane called me back right after my conquer of this sneaky home invader. Even after it was dead I couldn't bring myself to grab it...I mean what if the spider world trains them to be really good at playing dead?! I couldn't risk that. Shane got to my house and being the brave soul he is snatched up the spider and threw him away!

Like I said...TERRIFIED...it is awful. Thank God for boyfriends! If Shane was scared of spiders we would be doomed to surrender our lives.

This is the perfect quote for me! haha!

What are your guys phobias??

Double the Pleasure...Double the Workout

It would be a major understatement if I said I slacked at going to the gym last week....I am pretty sure I avoided it like the plague. I have no idea why either! I only have a week and a half left to beat Shane in our Fitness Competition and I need to kick it into high gear! So....since I missed the gym all last week I am going to have to go twice a day in order to catch up to Mr. Shane! But don't tell him this cus he he'll end up going like 3 times a day...he really wants to beat me!

Here is what's got to be done in order to kick some major fat this week:

• I am going to have to get my lazy butt out of bed super early and hit the gym
• Eat like a rabbit for the next week and a half...salads, salads, oh and did I mention some salads?
• Stay motivated through out the day to get to the gym after work
• Drink way more water than I usually do...if I drank as much water as I do coffee I would be set!
• NO eating out! This will be a rough one... 

Sooo this is my plan for the next week and a half! If you guys have any suggestions...work outs, food, or anything else I am all ears! :)

Friday's Letters....Read Up!

It's Friday!! Thank God because this week has been toooooooo long!!! I hope your week went much faster and better than mine! Anyways...to the point of this wonderful post! I am slightly obsessed with this link up hosted by Ashley at Adventures of Newlyweds. If you haven't checked out her blog you definitely should! It is wonderful! Well...That's about it for an intro, here are my letters!

Dear Time: I need more of you! Why do you have to go by so fast and what is the secret to getting you to go slower? I would really like to be closer friends and not just passer buyers if you know what I mean...

Dear Gym: Did we break up or something?? Why are you avoiding me?? I can see how it would seem like I'm the one avoiding you buuuut I can assure you that isn't the case. However, I will be the bigger person (literally) and make the first move to get reacquainted. I will thank you later! ;)

I need to apply this to my life {via}

Dear Training in St. George: I hope you weren't a waste of my time and you pay off this week in getting me amazing sales. I loved your warm weather and the awesome trainer you provided, but I thought it was really dumb I wasn't allowed to just sleep in St. George instead of driving to you for 2 hours each day with someone I didn't even know. Awkward.

Dear Mean Customers at Work: YOU ARE AT A BANK...OF COURSE I AM GOING TO ASK YOU FOR ID...GET OVER IT AND QUIT BEING ASS HOLES.

Yesterday I felt like the other guy. {via}

Dear Shane: How are you so wonderful all of the time?! I am so crazy in love with you it's not even funny! Thank you so much for cheering me up yesterday and bringing me flowers to work. I am sorry for crying in front of everyone but I was already emotional from stupid customers and it was nice to have tears of joy. I am so lucky to have you in my life Mr. Thank you for all that you do for me.

Dear Emotions: Please calm down and stop being so out of control. I know you are overwhelmed right now and feeling a little spread to thin but yesterday was ridiculous...lets not cry in front of the whole world anymore.
