Happy Birthday!!

2009-10-10T09:56:00.000-07:00

So it has been forever since I have updated my blog so I thought that this would be a good time! It was Josh's 24th birthday yesterday and we both took the day off. It was so nice! Joshy opened his present, that I have had for almost 2 months, and he loved it! It was an X-box. He has been complaining about one forever so I bought him one because he deserves it! We started the morning by going to I-Hop and enjoyed a nice big breakfast. For some reason I was way sleepy so when we got home I went back to bed and slept til about 11:00 haha. It was refreshing. We went to the movie Invention of Lying, which by the way is not very good, and ate some popcorn. We then went shopping and got some great deals on some clothes and then came home to relax. We got ready and went to dinner with Josh's parents to Rodizio grill. MMMMMMMM...... The food was great and I ate so much I can't even believe. This morning I woke up sick to my stomach and threw up. I don't think I will be eating there for awhile! Anyways I am so happy that I got to spend the day with my husband yesterday and I love him so much! He is so great! Here are some pics of his b-day!

He was so excited to open this! He had no idea what it was!

He was very frustrated with the duct tape because he was so anxious haha

and it is. . .

. . .another box :)

What?! an x-box?!!

He was so excited it was cute!

I love my husband!!

2009-05-16T18:55:00.000-07:00

I love Josh so so much! I am so grateful that I was blessed with such a great husband! He treats me so well and would do anything for me!

Well here is an update. Josh and I are starting school on Monday I am so glad that I am finally going back! We kinda had a hard time at first because for some reason we were not accepted as residents so I had to do alot of paperwork for them to accept us as residents but finally got it all worked out so we are considered residents now. Then financial aid has been a joke! I had to do it like 80 times before it went through and then we were selected for verification man what a long process. Our financial aid went through last week and we recieved 900 combined for school. Our tution is 2,700. That was a bummer because how were we gonna pay for the rest? Luckily we have an angel who was more than willing to help us with the rest. I am so grateful for all the many blessings that me and Josh have. I am so lucky to have him and am so glad to be able to take some classes together :). It will be so much fun!

New Hair!!

2009-04-26T08:32:00.000-07:00

So I had a pretty horrific week of hair! On the 14th of April I went and got my hair done by my cousin. It was a pretty sad day!! So I got to her salon at 5:30 pm and didn't get out until 11:15 pm and my hair was falling out a a wreck! I had long dark brown hair and now the color looked like stripes of yellow/white white white and pure black!! It was aweful! I couldn't fix it right away because my hair was falling out and couldn't take more damage. The bleach was left on my hair for like 4 hours!!!! I was very upset. Well I called my aunt Melissa who is amazing and she said that she would fix my hair the next week. So here is the end result! I cut off 5-6 inches and she fixed the color thank goodness! I love it! She is the best!

So I haven't updated this in a long time! Josh and I got married March 13, 2009. It was amazing! I loved every moment of the day. I wish that I could go back and do it all again I would not do anything different. The reception turned out great, my cake was so cute, and my Joshy poo was so so handsome! I love Josh so so much! Everyone told me that marriage was a huge change......... ya right!! It is pretty much the same except the obvious of course......... I love waking up to Josh! Here are some pics from the wedding!
