Jordan's Request

So Jordan insisted that I blog about an incident we had yesterday....

So we were stopped at a stop light and we noticed a runner.  He was waiting to cross the street and he was doing the little jog in place thing.  We first found it humorous because of his outfit, bright red SHORT shorts, bright red shoes, whacky glasses, and no shirt.  Then Jordan busted out laughing, I asked him what was so funny.  He said, "Imagine that he's dancing".  So I did, it was quite funny, and to make it even better we blasted the cheesiest song we could find on the radio.  So next time you see a runner jogging in place turn up the radio and imagine he's dancing to the tune:)

Blessings here, blessings there, blessings everywhere!!!!!

WOW! The Lord has truly blessed Jordan and I, we must be doing something right. To start with, ever since we moved into the  Branbury we have been hoping and praying to get the job as RA's.  Well we finally got the position and we are so excited to have a major reduction in our monthly rent! Now we'll actually have money to save for Jordan to go to Pharmacy school! I could really go on and on how the Lord blesses our lives everyday with health, and school, and just everything!!!

CALIFORNIA!!!

Jordan and I spent last week in California with his family.  It was an awesome vacation full of lots of fun and exciting things! I'll let the pictures tell the story...

We spent the first two days with my sister. I don't get to see her very often so it was really nice to visit. She is amazing and her children are so darling.  They had fun playing with Jordan (regardless of what it looks like I promise jordan isn't abusing the child :))

My sister is a marvelous mom and such a good example to me. 

After a few nights with my sister we met up with Jordan's family and did all sorts of fun activities for the remainder of the week!

We went to a Padre game.  It was fun for the first little while and then I got a little bored.  We were also really cold, Jordan was innovative and used newspapers to keep his legs warm, ha!

We went to the beach of course!! We decided to be creative and we made jump ropes out of sea weed, we had fun attempting double dutch. We also got REALLY sun burned.

We got to go to Disney Land! It was fun but we decided its more for little kids.  We ended up going on Splash Mountain and Jordan said I wouldn't get wet, he was wrong...

On the drive back from California we ended up having a few car troubles, so we decided it would be good to stop in Vegas for the night. We had a blast! It was fun having our own mini vacation.

We eventually made it home and had to face many tests and lots of catching up, but it was a wonderful vacation!!!

Marriage is good for your grades!!

In the past few days I had a Statistics Midterm and Jordan had a Chemistry Midterm, and we are so excited to announce that we both received an (in case the picture doesn't show up its an A-)

I know, I know its not an A, but still pretty good :)

Social Weekend

We had a very good, busy weekend! It started with our date night (Friday). We went out to eat at Yamato a yummy Japanese restaurant and they gave us free ice cream! After that Jordan was so kind and let me shop around at TJmax while he stayed in the car and studied, what a sweetie! Then we went home and watched our Netflix Movie (Netflix is definitely the best thing to happen to us since our marriage! we love it) 12 Angry Men.  It was a very old, black and white film, and the whole movie took place in a jury room.  It was surprisingly good, we really liked it!

Saturday morning Jordan worked and then took a chemistry test, while I studied for my stats midterm.  This semester has definitely been packed full of tests for us!  Then our weekend got Social, which is something that doesn't happen very often! We went on a super fun triple date with our friends the Jimenez's and the Jones' (Ill be the first to admit I don't really know how you are supposed to make a name ending in "s" plural, so I just stuck an apostrophe on it!).  We went out to eat and then the Jones' convinced us to come over and watch New Moon.  That is such an awful movie, and I think we made fun of it the whole time! And I am just so frustrated that Edward (Rob Pattinson) doesn't have a hot bod, I mean he's Edward he is supposed to have the body of a greek god! And I have so many other complaints but I'll stop there.
  Sunday was very busy! We went to church then I went home teaching with Jordan because he didn't have a companion, then I had to rush to do my visiting teaching so I could get home in time for our home teachers! Then we hurried and made dinner for company that was coming over. All in all we made Friends with Eight new people! We were so proud of our selves, and our dinner was delicious :)!!
 I googled "friends" and this is the picture I found, SO CUTE!!!

I need to be a better blogger, starting now

Ok, so I'm going to try and be better at this whole blogging thing.  I'll get all caught up with this post and then try to be consistent from her on out!
The last five months of blissful married life!!! :)

We LOVE our apple peeler we got at our wedding! it makes the apple all swirly like this! We use it on a consistent basis, for apples, potatoes, and pears! 

This was our first sunday going to church as a married couple!!

Jordan likes to pretend he's a ninja, it thoroughly entertains me!

This comforter is our pride and joy, we bought it with our wedding money and it is super nice!!!

We love to record songs onto Jordan's computer and edit them, he has some pretty cool stuff!!

4 months of marriage :)

not a very good picture, but this is ballet showcase doing a dance I choreographed, they are awesome!!

Jordan had to say good bye to his missionaries, he hopes to get letters soon

my first day of spring semester, holding onto two PB and J's!

Jordan studying for his last final of the semester, poor boy :(

We got a new laptop!! it is so much nicer than what we had, and you can draw cool pictures like these on it!!!

I drew this one while I was away from Jordan in NM :)

I got bored one night and Jordan let me do this to his hair! I'm pretty good !

And five months of Marriage!

We are loving it and we look forward to what the future has in store! There now I'm caught up :)

One Semester Ends Another Begins

Well I finished winter semester last month with much happiness! I celebrated by flying home and visiting the family while leaving Jordan behind to finish his finals.  It was such a wonderful break but it was sad to leave Jordan behind.  I learned a few things while I was home, alcohol ruins people's lives, date night was a ridiculously raunchy movie, I have the cutest nieces and nephews in the world, Albuquerque is ranked #2 for crime (and believably so), and Thai food is AMAZING!!!!

These are my nieces and nephew who live in Albuquerque, Hagan, Anodyne, and Sanora. They are soooo cute, and I'm sad I can't see them more often.

NO picture can ever prove just how cute they are but here a few more for fun :)

Anodyne!

Hagan

AND lets not forget my handsome and equally cute nephews in California!

DARLING!

and here they are all together.  I hope my kids are this cute!

Well, when I got back from NM I started spring semester.  I'm taking Kinesiology, and Statistics, definitely not the easiest combination of classes.  Jordan also has a tough schedule, Physics and Chemistry! The good news is there is only one month left of the semester and I get to graduate in December!! I'm super excited.
