Secret!!!

Who wants to know a secret?!?! I know I do...

Well... we're PREGNANT!

Ha! Gotcha... we're really not. One of my best friends left on her mission about a month ago. (Jenna Hyer for those of you that know her and for those of you that don't). She is the friend that you could text and say how much you hate being fat and she would empathize with you. She would empathize with you about anything, she is seriously such a great friend. (she has other great qualities too) Anyway, like 2 days before she left she told me that she didn't want to eat sweets her entire mission. (We've done bets like these in the past) I told her I needed to stop eating candy. (like that is ever going to happen) So we started a bet. To go her entire mission without eating sweets and I would write her and tell her how its going. So we're starting the bet on the Wednesday that she left. Preeeeeetty sure I lost that bet before she even got to the MTC that Wednesday afternoon. I wrote her a letter today and told her how great I am doing with our bet, and the sugar is basically out of my system, and that I have even lost a few pounds because of it. Am I the worst friend or what?! I think I'm a pretty great friend. I mean I am helping her out.. she thinks we're in this together. And we are. (half way) And that is all she needs to know, and that is my secret. So don't go writing her a letter and blabbing about it alright? Alright. I feel better now that you all know that.

Want to know something funny? Embarrassing but funny? But its not about me. Its about Romney. One day we were riding in the car and one of those catchy pop songs comes on the radio. As we are pulling up to apartment he said "You know what song I kinda like?" And I was like what? He said "That Call me Maybe song" I just busted up laughing!! I couldn't believe he would freely admit that to me. I didn't even ask! (Hellllllo...Don't ask, don't tell). Sometimes he'll be on the computer and will play that song and just listen to it like a little girl. I still love him though.

I made Banana bread last night and I can't stop eating it.

I think I broke my vacuum today.

I should be working out right now but instead as soon as I'm done with this I'll probably go eat some more banana bread and start season 2 of Army Wives. (I'm so thankful that's not how the Air Force is. I'm pretty sure its not how the Army is either, but its entertaining.)

I need to get a job. But I don't want to work in the morning, afternoons, or evening. Or nights. Shoot.

I'm sorry I don't post pictures. I don't know how. I do send quite a few snap chats though. Those are some cute pictures.




I'm out.
Until next time when I have the will to turn off Netflix.

Road Trip across the Country!

We made it!

All the way to B.F.E. in Goldsboro, North Carolina. And man that is one FAR drive. We left on Friday and got here on Monday. We literally drove all day. From about 08:30 to 22:00 (For all you civilians out there that is 8:30am to 10:00pm. If you're not part of the military you are a civilian. Don't worry.. I'm a civilian too)

Due to big tires, Romney and I had to drive separately. I was kind of happy about that because that meant I got a CD player. Poor Romney only had the radio in a noisy Uhaul. But that also meant I had nobody to talk to (which was crappy) Thanks to Snapchat and Heytell, I was able to stay in touch with the outside world. I was really looking forward to driving with Romney. We do have 4 months to catch up on! And besides he enjoys my stories. But instead I jammed out to old CD's and listened to a lot of Christmas music and Christian music and some country music. In December that's about all they play from Nebraska...to West Virginia. Literally.

We stayed the night in Nebraska, Missouri and West Virgina. My favorite stop was in Santa Claus, Indiana. And then somewhere else in Missouri that had Panera.

Driving on I-80 all the way to St. Louis from Salt Lake, I counted 354,651 Diesels.

I'm addicted to Energy Drinks now. About half of our stops for food was at Subway.

The first thing we did when we got to NC was hug each other and then ate lunch at Bojangles. (Romney has some friends that are from NC and they said we HAD to eat there. Ummm... it's fast food. I'm going to tell them the first thing that they need to do when they go to Utah is eat at Wendy's). Idiots.

Our apartment is so awesome. It's at least 2 and a half times bigger than our last apartment. And our Kitchen is at least 3 times the size of our last kitchen's apartment. I love cooking now.

We have the most awesome ward. Ever.

We have our own washer and dryer. Kristen knows how that feels!

We are only 10 hours away from NY! (I have a hard time typing NC instead of NY)

Best of all.. I have my husband back!

Farewell from North Carolina!!
