Dear Blog,

Sorry I keep neglecting you. I asked the Lord for some work and work did I get! I am working an average of 13 hours a day and when I get home all I want to do is hang out with my husband. So once things cool down a bit, I will get back to you. But, in the meantime I will think of some awesome things to write about!

Sincerely,

Me

Little Kids thoughts on Love...enjoy!

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'
Rebecca- age 8
'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'
Billy - age 4
'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.'
Karl - age 5
'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'
Terri - age 4
'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss'
Emily - age 8
'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.'
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'
Noelle - age 7
'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'
Cindy - age 8
'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image)
Karen - age 7
'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.'
Mark - age 6
'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.'
Jessica - age 8
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother askd what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
'Nothing, I just helped him cry
"Love is when your husband gives you flowers just for fun!"
Kate- age 23

I hope everyone in the world can find true love because there is nothing else like it.

Good News!

See these cute pictures...Well, we wouldn't have them if it weren't for Lifetouch! They probably took your pictures when you were in school. And now i get to take these pictures for people to have forever. That's right! I got a job. I'm a Lifetouch Photographer and I am SUPER excited about it!

The only downfall...is that I'm just a seasonal photographer. SO i'll be shooting from now until the middle of november. So i'm still looking for a more long term job. But, until then you will find me taking pictures of all the elementary/middle school kids around the LA area. Some places may be a little sketchy, but I'm sure i'll have some really good stories for you. Ha so stay posted.

I also got a job as an aerobics instructor...

I will be teaching at LA fitness a couple times a week. I'm pretty excited and maybe a little nervous. But, I can do it. I'll be teaching Body Works (its a weights class) and then step (totally 80s, but people still do it) ha wish me luck. Hope all is going well with you!

Pehrson is almost done with his second week of school! 2 weeks down 4 more years to go. That seems like forever away from now. But, i'm sure it will go by pretty fast. Think of how fast high school went by. That was 4 years. So bring it on USC...we are ready for you.

Last friday Pehrson had a white coat ceremony where he was given a white doctor coat, it was pretty exciting and he makes that white coat look GOOD!! wow

As for me. I am still on the job hunt! I have sent out so many resumes and filled out so many applications that my fingers hurt. I have done all the things that your supposed to do, follow up, be that annoying girl who calls everyday to see if they have looked at my resume yet. And in the meantime just waiting. I am a responsible person, I just wish people could see that. I only graduated a year ago so I don't have a lot of experience under my belt, but I will take on any challenge and do my best at it. I know its hard in this world right now to find a job, but people are still hiring so I know that there is a job out there, all I really need is one! It's been very frustrating and (maybe I had a breakdown) the other day. But, I think its just hard to be in a place that is new where you don't really know very many people. If you are blonde you are definitely the minority, we're in a new apartment and trying to get everything we need. Pehrson is gone most of the day and I don't get to see him till night time. CHANGE...i need to get better at it!

Working world please hire me. And keep me in your prayers. I know that prayer works.

Of course

A year ago today my best friend ask me to be with him forever! Pehrson you have changed my life for the better. Words can't describe how much I love you! Thanks for choosing me. I am the luckiest girl in the world!

I can't wait to spend eternity with you!

Lake Powell

We went to one of the most beautiful places on earth...and it was SO much fun! Here's a little update on what we did. 

Thanks Lake Powell for great weather, great water, great company and great scenery. We will hopefully be back soon! 

almost

summer is about to end for us. We have 2 weeks left until i won't see Pehrson for the next 4 years. Well, not literally but he will be starting dental school and people keep telling me to get ready to become very independent! =[  I love my husband and I don't want to lose him to books and teeth...but most likely i will. SO sad! but we can do it! So to end our summer with a bang we are going to...

LAKE POWELL!

Pehrson has never been before...so I'm excited for him. I love it here! SO much fun. 

We dropped off a bunch of stuff at our new place. It didn't take long because we don't have any furniture, just wedding gifts and clothes. We have a bed and just got a table. It's kind of nice. We are starting fresh just like all newlyweds. haha we are in our 8th month of marriage and so far, so good! 

I fall in love with Pehrson over and over again. And i'm excited to be roommates with just him again! He is pumped to start learning about teeth, so i'm happy for him. I just hope that I still get to see him a lot!
