Secrets

Just to let you know that as you read this it was written in the past. I could not post it right away and you will see why.

SATURDAY-
Today I did something. Something totally sparatic and uncalled for but not bad. The day started as any other Saturday, except that Jared was in Utah. I went to the gym, picked up my check and went to the bank, blah blah blah... normal boring stuff And that is where it all changed. I just got a crazy little itch to do something different. So my itch lead me to the salon and to a crazy haired stylist. I told her… “do whatever you like but keep it long” and that is what happened. But I absolutely LOVE it.
We dyed it dark brown and cut me loads of layers and even some long bangs. (Surprising since bangs were something that I swore off years ago) But I love it. I still have not really had the chance to style it to see what it can do.


It is funny to think that now when people see me for the first time they think that I have brown hair. They wont ever think… she has blonde hair . Atleast not until I get some NASTY roots. Then everyone within a 30 foot radius will know, but for now I am a brown, dark headed gal.
The best and most incredibly exciting part about it is that Jared doesn’t know! That “Mr. Leave My Wife in Utah while I go and visit my family a week before thanksgiving” has not a clue. He just knows that I sounded ‘happy’ on the phone today. Hee hee. What he doesn’t know won’t kill him. (unless it leads to a cardiac arrest… BUT still then it did not DIRECTLY cause it.)
I just hope that he recognizes me when he goes to pick me up at the airport. I also wonder if I could just have my hair half way across my face and kind of hiding and KINDA trying to sneak around him if he would notice me or if I could just sneak by him. I doubt that I could but boy IF (big if there…) I could! Think of the stories I could tell the children. LOL. He would NEVER live that one down.
He will be so surprised. I hope he likes it. I have always joked with him about getting my hair changed drastically and asked him what he would think. He always says I would look good with whatever and that he will love me no matter what. OF COURSE he says that fully knowing that I would not go the next day and get my hair dyed and chopped off.
Just to be fair. I did mention last Friday a week ago that I might need money to get my hair done. J
OH HOW I LOVE THAT BOY. And man do I MISS him!




Just an update Jared DID like the new hair. :)

Another Trip to the Airport

I'm off to the airport in ... 2 and a half hours. it is killing me! I hate waiting. I just want to go and be with my husband in the snap of a finger not fandangleing in airports for 8 hours. GAH.

So to occupy myself I have successfully cleaned the whole house, packed, gone to the bank, made a return, made a trip to the store, and worked out at the gym... and I STILL have 2 1/2 hours to wait before my ride picks me up.

There are things that I am patient with;
getting revenge on Jared for pouring cold ice water on me while in the shower(dont worry Jared it will come when you are not expecting),
Indiana drivers,
stupid people that complain about where the sign is placed in Bath and Body works just to leave without buying anything and therefore wasting time of my life,
crochet lady in our ward(but I'm still trying to perfect this patience, lol),
the left hand turn arrow to by red robin that without a doubt you will miss by 1 second and then have to wait 5 mins for the next green,
babysitting for a (well into) 3 year old that still where diapers and can tell you when they need their poopy diapers changed (sigh),
screaming children that yell at you and tell you they hate you the "old mean babysitter",
and Jared in general...(HAHAHAHA)

BUT something that I have NO patience with it getting to see my man when he is gone. I get frustrated that he cant get home from work faster, when he is getting surgery, or when he is in Utah without me.

We already had the

LLLLLLLLOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGG DDDDDIIIIIIIISSSSSSTTTTTAAAAAANNNNNNNNNCCCEEEEEEEEE

relationship, and for the record I dont EVER want to try it again.

Life is so much better when you have someone there to share it with.

I will be in Utah soon and this blog has successfully wasted 30 minutes as intended!

Love you all.

~for those in Utah.. I hope your recognize me :)

A trip to the Airport and other things

Nothing too exciting happened on this trip to the airport. Except our home is one short... and I am lonely in kentucky. But I will be back with my friend when I get to Utah in a week. Unless hauling Jared's fake bones he forgot to bring stops me short at security. I'm wondering if he did that one on purpose... He says no but it seems too good of a joke to have Not been planned out.

It was crazy. Yesterday Jared was reporting how many hours he had unofficially worked (More like so bored that he was begging just to get back into the swing of things.) and it turned out he worked about 47 hours. I did not believe him. It felt like he was home all the time. I really cant wait until residency is done or even in his 5th year. It will be so so so SO much nicer to have reasonable hours.

ALSO, Yesterday we were on our way to ... get something for a christmas gift... when we got hit from behind by another car. Scary at heck. Don't like cars hitting cars. It was low speed and there was no damage so that was that. (And luckly Jared was driving HIS car otherwise I would have FREAKED OUT) It did cause some undue stress, but slowly as we looked at computers at Best Buy it subsided.
~No damage.... HORRAY!!!!!! We got out Scott free.



GATTILAND!
The happiest place on earth. :) I have to say, for as trashy as it was Jared and I really just relaxed and had a great time. It was so much fun. We were little kids the first hour and a half we were there and play archade games and got some sill prizes with our tickets... like army men, billy bob teeth, pencils ect ect ect....
I loved it! And as much food as you can eat, thereby ruining jared and my 'diet'. What a wonderful evening... just to end with Kung Fu Panda. :)

"Birds" a real life movie

Our new neighborhood was attacked by birds. Well, maybe not 'attacked' persay but there were a butt load of birds in our front lawn, our neighbors lawn, the roof tops, the sky and the street. It was a crazy sight. I heard a whole BUNCH of chipping and to look outside to see birds EVERYWHERE.
When I saw it today I ran and got my camera just in time to snap a picture before they all got scared away by a car.


It was just a small fun thing that highlighted my day.

The Fun Changes of Fall

Fall is here in Kentucky. I have never experience anything quite like it.

Arizona doesn't have fall, and I had always wondered why orange, red and yellow were fall colors and now I understand.

And in Utah winter came so fast I didn't have time between classes to enjoy the splendor.

But in Kentucky it is so beautiful and it has been weeks will wonderful spectacular colors but sadly last Friday it rained and most the leaves fell off the trees before I had the chance to get pictures but Jared and I went to the park this afternoon and found some.



With this season there have been lots of things happening.

The funnest was Halloween!
Jared was so so SO wonderful and cute with the trick or treaters. He would go up to the door and scare them or beat them to the punch by yelling trick or treat before they could. He will make a great dad someday. So fun.
We also went to a halloween party. It was so much fun to get all dressed up and to also put lots of make-up on Mr. Captain Jack Sparrow. I wish I had pictures right now but not quite yet. I will have to get some from the Jared camera.
(no pictures at this time)

Kate was a sweet pea and sent some work home with me as I found a package on my doorstep from bath and body works. I opened it to find a SO SO cute pumpkin candle that my store had ran out of before I could snatch one. I LOVE it. And it came just in time for Halloween.

Gas prices have dropped completely (which is so nice). And just to brag I have a picture.
And since the picture it has even dropped more!


This fall I officially am working 2 jobs, although only the hours of one, I have lots of different experiences. At bath and body I am now working the shipping dept. at a lovely 6am but it is worth the discount I get there and at Victorias.
And the sitters service job I have never seen or been in such large houses with indoor pools and such bratty spoiled children. Both are good jobs (with their pluses and minuses) and bring in some dough.

Some amazing people from Honduras that house and take care of the medical students that go to Honduras came to Kentucky to visit. It was fun to meet them and finally put a face to a name, but communication was hard as I know no Spanish and them very little English. Still wonderful people. (no pictures yet)

Jared and I (and a whole group of people) went to a haunted house. It was my very first one and I screamed like a girl. hahaha. Not that everything scared me, but some things def. did. Jared I'm sure had a blast with a wife that screamed the whole time and then would stop and turn around making him hold her, walk backwards so he was first and I was second, and so I could close my eyes. It was really fun. And right after I wanted to go again.

Just for fun... Signs and Symptoms

While looking through lots of pictures of Jared and I (mostly from a month after we got married) an idea popped into my mind and this is the result.

The Signs and Symptoms of a Brain Tumor
(in action)

1. Muscle Twitches


2. Trouble with anger management


3. Forgetfulness


4. Weight loss despite high Calorie intake


5. Risky behavior


6.Vision Changes


7. Excessive Sleep



If 2 to 4 of these symptoms describes you in your life. You may want to watch the symptoms.
If 5 or 6 of these symptoms describes you in your life. You need to make your doctor aware.
If ALL 7 of the symptoms describes you in your life, then you must be Jared Armstrong... In which case nothing is wrong. :) I love you Jared!
