Computer Zombie

I got to Relive tonight/this morning what my sister so vividly remembers from high school.  Jaclyn the computer zombie.  Ya see I had this crazy addiction in high school called "The Internet" and I dunno, some of you may have heard of it.  I (along with catrillions of others i'm sure) have wasted like years of my life on it but when the zombie comes out there is no fooling around.  I'm talking like crazy late hours on this thing!  It starts with Email..Facebook...other peoples blogs....pinterest....Google....before you know it, it's 2:30 in the morning and you're up on the couch, computer in lap, eating chocolate covered raisins, listening to random people doing covers of your favorite country songs on Youtube and you cant even sleep anymore!  Ever seen those commercials for Bing when the girl starts freaking out and rambling random crap from search over load or whatever it's about?  That is how my brain feels right now!  I'm FINALLY going to bed and I pra....what the? why is there a random stinky feet smell coming in from my second story window?...pray i'll be able to sleep.  Wish me luck! 

Dedication....or the lack of

So I got the Relief Society blog list in my email yesterday and couldn't help but check a few of them out. Result... I can't believe how lame I am!  All of these girls work so diligently on their beautiful blogs and I make a not so grand post about eh...every 1-2 months.  So I made a pact with myself and I am going to try and be a more diligent blogger.  I have a great life full of blessings and excitement and its my duty to write those memories down! ( Plus I have so many dang pictures I never do anything with but somehow feel they are save worthy) So what am i waiting for!?  Here I come crazy bloggers, Im gettin' it in gear!

Aloha!

Goodbye Beautiful Hawaii!

Our First 4th of July

The morning started off really well with a couple hours of car work, Jaclyn's favorite.  It was supposed to be a quick fifteen minute thing, but it turned into a two hour ordeal because the scissorjack sucked.  Someday we will have a lift in our garage that I'll just drive up onto and twenty minutes later the job will be finished.  After that Jaclyn gave me the tanning rundown for the day.  I had to spend my hour baking in the summer Oklahoma sun.  Luckily, Jaclyn knows her sun worship and since the first lobster fiasco I have been exposing my real potential as a medium skin tone.  HAHAHA!  The sudden onset of thunderstorm clouds cut our tanning experience a little short.  Even worse than that, it ruined our epiphany of having a picnic in the park.  Almost immediately after the sandwiches were made, cats and dogs literally fell from the sky.  Anyone who has spent any amount of time in Oklahoma can attest to the storms.  Beside the fact that our afternoon picnic was ruined, we feared that the fireworks would be hindered.  Luckily the rain quite just as quickly as it showed up.  So Jaclyn and I geared up for what was once named CNN's top ten celebrations for the 4th of July, the Edmond Freedom Fest.  If it weren't for the absolutely delicious watermelon, which was also free, we would have been a little bit disappointed.  The main event was the Fireworks display, so we hung around for a couple of hours in the hot and overly crowded parking lot of OCU.  Originally we had plenty of space to the side of our car to lounge out and watch the fireworks, but we don't have the heart to turn people away that were looking for spots, so we gave in and gave up all of our extra room.  It didn't end up mattering anyway because the fireworks shot up so high that my neck has a kink in it today, it was AWESOME!!!  I have never seen or heard fireworks this loud or big; car alarms were going off all over the place.  The finale is shown in the video below.  Gotta love America's Independence Day. 

To all those that read this post, you can give a shout out to my awesome husband Brycer, who wrote the 4th of July blog for his wife because it was late and I was too tired :)  He's a sweetie.

Oklahoma City

We've been out here in OKC for about 5 1/2 weeks and married for, in three days,  2 months one week.  Things out here have been fun and relaxing, but also at times very stressful, mostly for Bryce.  He works hard every day except for Sunday selling, and I'm so proud of all of his hard work.  It makes me feel bad that I can't help out more.  I guess one thing that i could really do to help is just encourage him and be supportive.  I finally started working and helping out at least a little.  On Monday June 20th, I started my first day of work and Quiznos (story to be continued)...it sucked.  I remember how bad I hate working with fast food (Lotsa Motsa Pizza in high school...worst job ever).  So I quit after a day and started working in the office for my husband's company.  I work pretty much the same hours as Bryce so I get to spend lots of time with him.  The work keeps me busy while he is out working all day.  Life with Bryce has been the best!!!  I love him so much!!!  He is a great husband and we have so much fun together.  Recently he appointed me as his "Suntan Trainer."  He wants to tan for Hawaii so he doesn't get burned.  So most of the time we go out to the pool and tan our fronts for 10 to 15 minutes and flop onto our backs for the same.  It's a good little way of starting out slow and gaining color gradually over time.  Sometimes he tries to get out of it, but I'm holding my ground!  I'm not going to be cooped up inside the whole time that we are in Hawaii with a little red lobster :) He's such a good sport with his "medium skin tone."
