An hour later

Dude i want chinese... That's how our day was on Saturday. So yesterday was a great way to end the week. Kelsie, as you probably read has had a rough week and Saturday was her first day back to work, and she had to be there at 6:45am. So I sent my alarm and I'll let her take it from there. Yea...I didn't hear his alarm so at 6:30 I wake up, that's kinda how my week has been wake up at random hours wanting more medication for pain so I'll take 6:30 as opposed to 2:30am and so does alex. So we get up, I walk upstairs to get my food for the day and Mother Hill tells me, "hey there's about 3 inches of snow outside. Are you heading to work right now?" haha o great yelling down "ALEX!!!" I get a groaned "..what..."... "There's about 3 inches of snow on the ground, can you shovel the drive way?" SO as i wonder the kitchen grabbing random items of food i didn't really want to eat, Alex was out shoveling in his transformer jamm-ies. As we were able to pull out of the drive way, we attempted to make it up the hill. Well, it literally took 5 minutes of slowly going what basically seemed no-where, when we finally made it 50ft to the flat-er part of the road. We got on the highway going about 25mph while some people, including a semi, passed us going at least 45+, yea it seemed fast to us. We finally got to the pool at 7:05, haha.
So i worked until noon, and alex worked at noon and we were not busy at all so of course I got sent home early at 1. Well i didn't want to drive home so I took a nap on the pool deck until 3 and waited another hour till he got off. So I was hungry, he was hungry, so we made our way to Fresh Market...ok team Alex Talking.... now at first when we got to fresh market we sort of had an idea of what we wanted to eat but not really. Kelsie and i seem to have a habit of going to the store for one thing and then leaving with a whole lot more than what we planned on. However this trip was not like that. When we got there we got what we wanted and then went to the hot cocoa section and well we stared at the shelves for what to me felt like an eternity. we wanted to originally get stephens hazlenut hot cocoa but decided not to and just ended up getting the hazlenut flavored creamer. And then we headed over to the frozen food section. This is where time just flew by. Because we must had walked up and down that place at least 40 times trying to figure out what to eat for dinner. After an hour we decided on chinese. But which brand? which dish? it was so hard to decide so finally kelsie says "hey why don't we just make our own chinese at home?" wow that was the best idea ever!! now we can flavor it how we want!! So we ran over to the asian section and picked out our sauces. She went with sweet and sour and i went with sesame. Ran back over to the frozen section and got some stir fry veggies and baamm!!! we made chinese. It was really epic in the kitchen the smells were delightful and well we each got what we wanted. Noting like chinese to finish off a long day!

Crazy december



Man oh man here we are december 17 and well we have been slackers in the blogging dept. Many things have happened in december, one of the main ones is that kelsie and I are now finished with school for the sememster. Kelsie did great this semester passing all of her classes and just loving her classes. She is grateful to be done and is greatly enjoying the break from class. I finished this week and well for the first semester back off the mission did surprisingly well. I am excited to start next semester. As part of our pre-celbration, I took kelsie skiing. It was a very fun experience for the two of us. However the snow was not quite up to par because well utah likes to be weird in its weather patterns. Snow for a few days then be 50 degrees for a week. Kelsie did great in the learning area mastering all the turning and stopping in the plow but lets just say slushies are not benificial to beginners. Because thats exactly how the snow was on the bunny hill. After an hour of helping kelsie get down the hill she was ready to be done and we were ready to call it a day. Kelsie will be giving snowboarding a try with our friend krista here in the next few days. We will see. The next thing that happened well was kelsies visit to the dentist. It was a wake up call when kelsie came out and said, "so guess what?!?! i need my wisdom teeth out!" Oh joy, that was went through my mind. I remember how my recovery went and was like man Kelsie is in for a roller coaster of pain. So on monday Kelsie went to the dentist at 11 and at 2 came out like a chipmunk. And yes she approves of this name. Her nickname was "simon". These past few days have pretty hard for kelsie. The medicine that her doctor had prescribed her has definately not been her friend. Lets just say her stomach has been in rebelion while on this medicine. she has happy to say now on day 5 of recovery that her stomach is happy becuase well she has had a hot dog, Mac n' Cheese, lots of soup and her accomplishment of the day A taco and a HALF!!!. she was very proud of that today. Her swelling has greatly gone down and is happy to almost be done with the swelling and almost back into normal life.
We are very still much loving married life and are so excited for christmas. we will try to be better at blogging but life just gets so busy and well facebook takes up most of our time. haha by the way this is one our favorite couple talk moments we've had....Kelsie-"Hey alex for gender i put 'M' for Most awesome Right??" oh kelsie i love you!
