Blown Away

Something so funny just happened at work. A new lady has been moved upstairs to work in the same area as our team she's on the phone helping people a lot with their computers. Just barely she was on the phone and then said "one second" and then all of the sudden she's blowing her nose really loud , then I hear her say "okay" hahahaha She's on a personal phone I'm pretty sure and from the time she said one second to the time she blew her nose was not enough time to pull the phone from her ear and hit mute. OH my this just made me laugh so hard.

In other news, I got my Carrie CD and i LOVE the song Blown Away. Eli is not an Underwood fan at all, everytime "good girl" comes on he says that she bugs him and we change the station. Well I got my Cd and listened to it the whole way home from work, really the song 'blown away' gives me chills, I just love it. Got home and set the cd on the counter and did the dishes..that's right I wanted to clean this is weird, I only usually get this urge 20 minutes before our home teachers are suppose to come over. Which happened Sunday morning by the way (more on that later) So I did the dishes then Eli came home and he wanted to go buy treats for family home evening, I picked up my Carrie Underwood and put it in my hand..Eli just laughed and told me he doesn't know why I'm bringing that because I know he doesn't like her. My response "just one song, I want to listen to one song" I turned on 'Blown Away' and Eli rewound it to a part he liked, after the song was over he started it over. haha HE LIKED IT! I'm sooo happy then after we got our treats he turned it on again. Seriously it's soo good. This is my opinion of course but I'm just so happy, because I wouldn't have spent money on this CD but then I won it and now I'm in love. yaya

Okay the girl at work, I had her listen to 'blown away' she liked it a lot, she then informed me it was a bit depressing but really good. just fyi if you listen to it.


Alright so two weeks ago our home teacher asked if it was okay if he came by Before church. We agreed 11am would be great... 2 nights prior I had been doing a craft that took me a while after I was done I wanted to relax and watch TV, I then fell asleep. This only added to the mess. Saturday we were gone basically all day, for my Girls camp we had to go up to the camp and look around, got home was exhausted, okay well Eli could have straightened up why I was gone but he had other 'important' things to attend to. Point is our house was a wreck, not disgusting -take our dog away because the conditions are unliveable- just messier then it should be with only two people living there with no children. Eli and I decided we really needed to clean before the home teachers got there, so I set my alarm for 10Am, as soon as it went off I was ready to hit snooze-Eli jumped out of bed and said "we need to clean" And clean we did. Eli took charge and I cleaned the living room, he did the kitchen, I did the sitting area -I guess you could call it that and he did the bathroom, it was 10:55 and I was just finishing the last dish BING our house was spotless. This is a routine we're use to doing actually, we must enjoy it because each month since we've had home teachers we do this quick clean up stressful routine, and always finish just in time to relax for 3 minutes before the knock at the door. After the dishes were all done, we sat on our couch, and waited, and waited, and waited. Home teachers never came, but that's okay I guess it was just time to clean our home and the Lord knew the only way we'd do that is if we were pushed. hehehe We cleaned it well too, I was impressed. I got home from work the next day and walked into my clean home and was just filled with joy, and decided I always want that feeling, so I did what few dishes we had, and BING spotless again.
<>Okay just to clear the air we don't never clean because we definitely do but since it's been that clean it had been a couple of weeks.

Now that all of you guys think I'm filthy, I will now leave you. Good Day.

Unique...and only one day later.

> On my way to our apartment from my moms I just had changed the station to KBull93 and a song ended then all of the sudden "call now for the carry cow" and it said some other things. I'm like YIKES every morning they do a Carry Underwood thing where somebody calls in and then a cow "moos" a carrie song and the person has to guess it. Well I thought that's what this was and the person wins tickets to her concert I think. Anyways YIKES i wanna win. So I think really quick I mean split second quick I don't know their number because my main station is not this one, I'm like well it's 801 and all radio stations are 470.5701 or 670 so it had to be one of those and I was pretty sure that the last four digits were 9393 I called 570.9393 and it was busy I'm thinking okay this number is probably wrong, but I redial anyway and it rings then all of the sudden "Kbull 93 who's this? EEEEEK I got through then he says this "Your caller 13!" EEEEEK so I'm getting all nervous for my very first radio debut. He then tells me on Monday morning the Moo Crew will be calling somebody at 8:20 for the fly away so have your phone on, only 10 people are qualified for this, and I won Carries 'Blown Away' CD. yayayay I LOVE 'Good Girl' I'm not saying Carrie is my numero Uno but I do like her quite a bit so woooo me:) My unique thing happened and it's only 24 hours later. OH ye of little faith, right Eli SHEESH!I really don't know if that counts but still, cool right?! Maybe not for you lucky people who win $150.00 on the radio but I'm overly excited about my free $15.00 CD.

wun moe ting. ;)

>WAIT! i have more news, Last night before sleep time Eli and I prayed obviously I won't tell you the whole thing because that's just weird anyways in a part of his prayer he asked "that something unique would happen for us today" then when he was done he just looked at me and told me "I just know something unique will happen tomorrow" I'm like okay weirdo you can't really predict that. well BAM Eli just called me and said he had a meeting today with some big wigs of the company today and the Vice President of Red Cross was there. Eli said he sat next to somebody who had worked there for seven years and this has only happened three times, so I guess they all thought that was super cool..and I guess it really doesn't happen often. Eli just started his new position at his company and for this to happen a month into it, and probably won't happen again for a while, it was unexpected ummm I guess you could say that was UNIQUE! So weird and kind of cool if you ask me? He just knew it, in some way this strengthens my testimony on prayer, it's a small thing and you guys all may think OK??? but I just got teary eyed when I was writing it okay?!
> As for me, well nothing real special has happened, well I went to the Apple store today for the first time it was CRAZY busy, and it's a Thursday, I went around Noon. My iPod jack was having issues and they fixed it. I don't know if I'd say that was my Unique experience but the day is not over, work almost is though wooooo!

>Oh one last story because I mostly update about me and I know Eli doesn't care because he really only reads this once in a blue moon, but I got a text today Eli checked his grades and he got an A in every class. So great and SO proud of him! Eli is really such a smart kid, I would say sometimes not socially the smartest, he really needs to know what to say and when to say it sometimes, Okay so do I BUT my point is he's good with school hehe. Right about now I recall Eli's words to me from maybe almost two years ago "I'm more of a book smart guy, and you're more street smart and smart with hair and magazines and stuff" Yeah his comment pretty much went like that, it wasn't mean spirited at all I just laughed way hard..it's funny cuz it's true. I'll admit it though he's the brains of our family and I'm happy for that. So proud of you babalicious hunk of mine!

<>Umm this post needs a picture and since I forgot to add this one to the last one I'll do it here. I mean I guess it kind of goes along with the whole comment about how I'm smart with hair. This is how I did my locks for Spence and Lisa's wedding, I was so happy about it.

p.s Christy told me how to do tabs and stuff (just center it) I guess with my layout you can't do that, I even tried putting it into word centering it and then moving it over. Brandon then suggested finding the HTML for it, I found something tried it, and it sort of worked but sort of not, hard to explain but then I just decided to do > or <> And I know that it's not tabbing it, but I guess it get's the point accross of an indentation so I did it for this and My last post. ahhh.

Events

“” a few things on my mind..
<>First HAPPY LATE MOTHERS DAY To my mom. I know she knows I love and appreciate her, and in fact we arleady gave her the gift, and she loved it..right mom???  Anyways I’m grateful for her, and everything she has done and still does for me. It’s amazing how immature I still am and need my mom. I mean I know I’ll always need her but for example…Just yesterday I left work early because I was feeling really sick, I got to my moms she had a heating pad ready for me on her counter, I heated it up and then just laid on the couch. My mom was making “pizza hut” for dinner and needed some flour, she told me that she was going to the store, then asked if I needed anything like Sprite? Maybe some Coke? I then told her I needed Gummy worms..So momma came home with gummy worms for her little adult girl Thanks ma! So Happy be lated Mothers day , I love you! My mom is such a cute grandma btw.

<><><>There was one other really important thing that happened this weekend what was it ..what was it?? OH Yeah my Spencer Wencer got married wooooohoooo!
<> We love Lisa and are so excited to have her as part of our family. I’m especially happy that she likes me and I like her because for a while I was worried about ..what if the girl Spence dates doesn’t like me? What if she thinks I’m obnoxious and loud, I mean come on now those are some traits I occasionally have. This worried me because I love my brother and we have a close relationship, he always talked to me about the girls he was seeing and would ask my opinion on things, we liked to laugh at dumb things, and had some inside stories like the one in the van on the way to Nevada;) now see Spence would get that cuz it’s our story and it’s hilarious. My point is I was so nervous that when he started dating somebody they wouldn’t like me, so we would lose our relationship, but guess what folks? Lisa likes me I was a bridesmaid even. Spencer, Lisa have gone on a few double dates and really have so much fun, so I’m excited I do not get to lose that relationship with my bro. woooo! I am so jealous though, the other day Lisa sent a text saying “we made it and are on Catalina Island today” AHHHHHH so lucky, and soo happy for them! Just a few pics from the wedding. I know there are no pics of me and the bros but it's not cuz I don't love you guys it's cuz you could probably care less and don't like pictures.

HERE THEY ARE YAYAYAYY

My hair is all blowy in this but I like Breannas smile!

Okay now these just make me laugh. They wanted a picture with all the kids, Abbie didn't approve of this...

Notice how Breanna kept her cool in the first one, but then...

...she was just over it.


WAIT!!!
<> Breanna had her dance concert Thursday she just looked so cute and did so great! Breanna was even in the very front during pretty much the whole dance, ya know Brea they put the cutest and better dancers toward the front to make the audience happy, and yep it made us very happy  Good job Bookey!
I didn't even get a close up one, but you can see her in this pic in her outfit. She's in the middle of the two girls, they are all waving and she's putting her hand up to wave so it's blurred...

-----------This blog post has a lot of my little sister, I just realized I hope you enjoyed Breanna------------

P.s IF you want the pictures to be bigger click on it and it will be bigger. Most everyone knew that but just incase, and if you did I'm not trying to point out the obvious but you probably want to see the Lisa and Spencer ones bigger.

bracelets.

Just got an intense urge for something sweet.
I'm sitting here at work, an hour left and like BAM
this crazy sweet "tooth" hit me. First I was like
I think those coconutish donuts would work,
or a snickers I could run to the vending machine
but then it hit me i really want GUMMY WORMS!

I could
run to the gas station and grab some real quick but
I should be patient and just wait til works over...man this is crazy!
I'm in a huge mood for gummy worms. After work first thing
I'm doing is hitting the store for yummies Yes I meant to say
yummies not a typo. For now though what will satisfy this,
Lucky me there is a girl downstairs who always has treats at
her desk just little things like mints or small candy bars today
it was kisses. I got some caramel kisses, these will hold me over til I can run to the store.



Okay so Sunday after Sacrament meeting, Bishop came and said to us "I need to see you guys, will you come to my office in ten?" My heart started pounding, told Eli he was gonna ask us why we don't go to Sunday School I mean...er...we go to Sunday school every week. Okay that was a lie but I know for a fact there are a lot of people who really dislike that class and skip it , including that one cute girl I'm going to be related to soon :D Eli thought I was silly for thinking that we went in and BAM got callings. I'm sooo excited. Girls camp advisor okay now that sounds boring or whatever but my heart is with the young women, and the primary but I just started thinking about when I got released from Young Womens I couldn't talk I was so sad and just blubbering, it was hard to talk, then I remember when the YW came into Relief society and they all stood up for the theme and I was like "waah I miss this" I mean that was in my head and tears were in my eyes. Also I don't know if you remember me talking about the ladies who spoke in church and the way cute lady with beautiful hair was talking, yeah she's the president. I spoke to her and the Bishop both told me they want me there Sundays, and activities weekly I'm like another leader, not just a camp director, possibly even teach once in a while. YAY! So i'm very excited. Went to my first activity Wednesday and there was 17 girls -----> 17!!! That is a huge amount of girls and they were all so welcoming and fun and I'm very grateful to be working with them. Eli got a calling also, he's young mens secretary and in the scouts.
OOOOHH my baby is gonna be so good at his calling and all the boys are gonna enjoy him in there I just know it. I remember how Eli use to tell me he would be so good in Young Mens but he never got the calling. (He was in Young Mens before the mission, but his friends were all his age and in there so it was more of a hang out sorta thing) Now he's grown and matured and I think all the kids will like him as much as Travis does, actually I don't think anyone will like Eli as much as Travis does, I don't even like him that much! hahahaha. Eli just has to fill out the form thing for scouting and then he's in baby.. I mean along with the whole sustaining thing and setting apart. The only thing that we foresee with this is Girls camp is a week before scout camp so as soon as I get back, we get to hang out for a day and then see ya! That might be sad times.

What else to write about? ohh Ya know your favorite jeans that you bought a year and a half ago and are in love with but then the zipper just completely goes poopy and is stuck to one side so they won't zip anymore? oh my then you have to wear a longer shirt so all day people aren't judging you and yelling "XYZ" all day..Yeah that's my outfit today. hahaha.

p.s todays blog had absolutely nothing to do with my blog post!

nothing. nothing. breannas birthday. nothing.

What to write about?? Hmm how bout a couple of different things, none so intensly interesting that you will be at the edge of your seat, but I guess a bit entertaining. Yesterday Eli and I stopped at our parents after work, Eli somehow found this flower that somebody had put together, and clipped it in his hair. We then ate dinner, breakfast for dinner. mmm Eli made the hash browns which were delish by the way..thanks love! At dinner my mom said to Eli "Your gonna forget that's in your hair" which he already had but was too preoccupied shoveling food that he didn't care.hahaha. Afterward I went to ULTA to buy me some hair extensions, and Eli went to Game stop. Ya see how that works? Eli thinks extensions are a waste of money but as long as he gets something for himself, everything is all good in the hood. We met each other at home, and Eli walks in the door and says "AHHHH I Forgot I had this in my hair" LOL TRAVIS he forgot to take it out!!! and all the little boys and adult men at Gamestop just watched him walk around with it. This is spectacular. Now take a look at the flower yourselves!

CUTESIE!!!

It's a really cute flower and actually now that I'm thinking about it, it's probably Abbies, Crowthers I will have that back to you asap!


.New subject.

Jazz game Saturday night, Jazz vs Spurs be there or be square. We definitely aren't square so we found our way over to the game. My work has been giving me quite a few tickets for this season, yeah theres perks at this place but mostly jerks. Actually I don't work with any jerks, I quite like the people I work with mostly it just rhymed. Brandon and Christy came to the game with us, and we paid for paking, a ridiculous amount for parking which was good in a way because no one else wanted to pay that amount so traffic was not bad getting out at all. Moving on..We took my car to the game, as you're aware I have a two door, for whatever reason I had to get something out of the back while doing so I had put three things on top of the car
1. A Sprite can
2. Way cute cardigan sweater
3. My phone
We pulled out of the driveway and the sprite rolled down, oh my good think we caught that cuz that Sprite sure would have been irreplaceable. Brandon then says to me that he thinks there is something else we put on the car. nahh! I had forgotten about 2. and 3. We're driving along down 7200 almost 31st when blunk a nose,
"what is that?"
ME: Just the stamps in the back of my car
Everyone else: That came from outside sounded like it fell off my car.
Eli: Amber, where's your phone?
ME: MY PHONE!!!
OH NO! I just got this phone and now it's shattered, my phones the thinnest ever it couldn't survive that, so we get to the next light and flip a U. Everyone spots my phone it was almost on the line in between the two lanes, ELi opens the door and picks it up. Everything is fine, there are a few minor scrapes on the corners, nothing a case won't cover up. Camera not scratched screen not cracked or scratched, EEEEK! So happy right now:)

So we park, and I want to put on my sweater, which again even after my phone had fallen off I forgot I put on there and it's nowhere to be found. Lightbulb it was on the card. I started reminiscing about all the good times me and that cardi had, and I was sad for a minute. Oh well at least I got my phone and don't forget the Sprite. The game was fun, we actually thought the Jazz had a fighting chance until the third quarter, Originally our seats were pretty bad, (where this picture was taken) At half time we saw some empty seats and moved down lower. The game got over and we drove to drop Brandon and Christy off when we got to Centennial and there in the middle of the road laid my sweater ME: My sweater! I got out of the car and grabbed it from the road, no tire marks and really it wasn't even dirty, Crazy!

OH HAPPY BIRFFDAYYYY TO MY LITTLE BOOKEEY! SHE IS 10 TODAY. I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH!!

These are old I know but they're all I could find on such short notice

On your birthday enjoy this picture of Eli and I at Ihop :)

car.

I know those of you that didn't hear what the verdict was about my car the whole claim thing was...but I filed a claim. YUP I was talked into it, and glad I was, because my front bumber looks amazing. My insurance called and told me to take my car to a certain place, they made the appointment for me, they asked if I'd be needing a car, I wouldn't have this one for a couple of days and I wouldn't be paying for it. so.YEAH to make everyones life easier, and because Eli can't drive me to work every morning I got a car. I was talking to the enterprise lady, and she's on the phone and says "yeah a mid sized car" She then asks me "Is a Jeep Liberty Okay?" Umm yes! I really like those type of cars. just the mid sized SUV's sit well with me, so I took the keys and drove away in my brand new car...I wish. The thing just handled so well, it's obviously a taller car so took me some getting use to since I'm currently driving the lowest car in the universe...older style Eclipse yeah it's pretty low. The Jeep was a 2012 just was so great I loved it!!! Well I got the car on Monday morning and got a phone call today that my car was ready for pick up. sad day. So i took my car to the gas station to fill up, and noticed there was a lot of mud type dirt on the lower part of the car from the construction right by where we live. I then attempted to wash my car with window cleaner. umm YEAH don't try this at home folks, you may think it's working becasue it looks good for a second til it drives and it's just smeared dirt/fog I was soo embarrassed. I took it back and apologized for the dirtiness they laughed when they saw I had tried to clean it myself but it was all good. This is my car I'd been driving

I Got my eclipse back. There was a rose on the dashboard with a note that said "thank you for choosing us" All though the rose is given to most likely everyone, it made me feel special, like they appreciated me most. The people did a great job on fixing it up, it looks great. Came to about $600 bucks so I'm glad I got that done now when I didn't have to pay for it, then in a year when I decided it was really bugging me, and then had to pay myself. Thank you for the push Christy and really making me wanna file the claim that one day at my mommas :) . Man I got in my car and it's so low and hot, and the clock is broken , such a downgrade waaaa!!

Anyways now I'm car hungry...like super car hungry. Keep Dreaming Amber. OH I WILL!

on my mind.

This past sunday at church three women spoke, they were in the Young Womens presidency in our ward. (side note in Relief Society once a month the young women join and everyone stands up and we all say the theme. As I stood up and said the theme, I got so emotional. I miss being in the young womens and teaching and learning and just talking with the girls, I miss doing the them every week.) One of the ladies I was actually really excited to hear from, my reason for wanting to hear her is actually kind of dumb but since the first week in our ward I saw her, she was an older lady with a few children..she had the most beautiful hair and I liked her style, every week since then I have seen her and wanted to talk to her. Dumb reason for wanting to get to know someone, possibly?? Anyway I was just excited to hear from her. All of the women did an amazing job, it was funny because the one stood up and was introducing her family and the story of her and her hubby she told us how they met in February and were married in May she then said these next words that made me laugh so hard " I know a lot of you may think that's really fast to get married but when you meet a hottie with a body, why wait?" hahaha Lady you just said that at the pulpit, it was so funny. This is one thing I really enjoy about our ward is everyone laughs at everything and doesn't get offended or doesn't think "She just said that. oh my" In fact all of the ladies said a couple of just funny things that you probably wouldn't hear in some wards, or if you did hear it you know they were getting talked to after church about it. So finally president got up (The super cute one that I wanted to get to know) She started to tell the story of her and her best friend in the whole universe , her husband, they met as teenagers, and started dating in high school on and off then on and off again. He then went on a mission and she told the congregation "We don't talk about when he was on his mission much, but all I can tell you is I wasn't married" She was referring to her dating a lot. haha love it. She then said he came home they dated and were married and have been together for 17 years. I now think this lady is awesome! She's so cute (much like me..hehe) She dated her husband throughout high school (again, and for those of you who knew us in high school it was on and off and on, the off times were literally a day and a half but still) Her hubby went on the mission and she went was ready to mingle (hmmm?) Her story is oddly familiar, I like this lady. After hearing her story I was grateful for Eli and I and all of our times together. I mean I've always been grateful for them and it's a cool story to tell. Today I was remembering the time he asked me to senior prom. Eli and I had decided to go to South Towne he came and picked me up and asked if I wanted Subway, I remember I wasn't hungry so declined, then we went to the mall and were there for a while, I remember Eli rushing us saying we needed to go get dinner, and should go to Subway I was like "Nah" I remember actually we kind of got in an argument about this. I just didn't understand why Eli wanted me to have Subway so much I really didn't feel like it. We left the mall and Eli sped all the way home and then finally pulled into the Subway near his home, REALLY ELI?? so I went into Subway because he was clearly in the mood for that even at 9:30 at night. I told the guy what I wanted, Turkey. It was time for my toppings so I got them, and then requested mayonaise. The guy finishes with the mayo and turns the sandwich to me guess what it says..PROM? hahaha oh myyyy. Eli looked at me all cutesy. He said earlier he had went there and made plans for the guy to make this when we came in, he was afraid the guy he spoke to wouldn't be there anymore. I also remember when Eli would always come to my window at night, he'd knock real late and we'd just hang out. Eli swears that he climbed in once, but I know that never happened, my friends would come to my windows a lot but they never climbed in. These were just a couple of thoughts of mine today that I felt like sharing. :D
