Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

I had a random thought to blog since I hadn't done so in a while. I don't even have anything that I want to say really. I've been doing a lot of vlogging lately but not much with this blog. Poor bloggy. SO I decided to pop over for a sec with not much to say :)

I've missed you!

Thanksgiving fun times.

A little video summing up Thanksgiving break. Family came into town so that was fun. Wish they'd just move here though!


p.s. I'd be so thrilled if you would "like" my video and subscribe to my youtube channel!
Thank you soooo much in advance :)

I missed my bus

I work in downtown Seattle and luckily for me, there's a bus that comes right by our apartment. It's convenient because it goes straight to downtown and drops me off just a few blocks away from work. No transfers for me! But it only runs for a few hours in the morning, and a few hours in the evening. The other week, Jerry had a day off from work but I didn't so it was one of the very few times that he would get to sleep in while I went to work. 

Well, that's how it was supposed to go. But I kind of missed my bus. My bus stop is about 7 minutes away (walking) from the moment I leave our apartment. And that particular day, I was about 20 seconds too late. 20 seconds! As soon as I got to the top of the hill, I saw my bus stop & my bus driving away. NOOOOO. So I called Jerry, woke him up, and he took me to the nearest park & ride to catch the bus from there. He got to sleep in for a total of 7 minutes and 20 seconds that day :)

Weekends. I don't know how to blog anymore.

So I realize I've been the worst about blogging. Part of it is because it takes a lot of time and of course I'm just sooooooooooooo busy from being busy.  Not really. That's definitely just an excuse. I think I've started to fall out of blogging to be honest. Or maybe I'm just in a funk. A year long funk. Do funks even last that long? 

Something that's caught my attention though is vlogging! You know, video blogging. On youtube and stuff. I used to be super into making short clips and cheesy videos in high school but never pursued it because I didn't know how. I still don't know how. But now I'm thinking, "hey maybe this is my new thang." But as I move into vlogging, I think I'll still try to incorporate the blog as well. Thanks for sticking around you guys :) changes to come I guess.

But before that, here's some pictures from the past few weekends.

Jerry became a pilot. He didn't really but doesn't he look like one? 

+ my dress +

Work decided to feed us and a few of Jerry's colleagues an awesome dinner. They graduated from a special 2-year program at work and also, they're just really awesome. Food was pretty spectacular too. Jerry and I always try to get different entrees so that we can takes bites of each other's food. Perks of having a significant other! Also, Jerry gets to finish off what I don't eat.

The Fourth. Jerry's co-worker who also happens to be from Hawaii invited us over for a July 4th potluck. People go crazy with their fireworks around here. Like... spending $20,000 on fireworks kind of crazy. Seriously people. 

Mariners game. Jerry's uncle invited us to a Mariners game and it was soooooo fun! The Mariners got killed but we were just two or three seats up from the field so getting hit by a baseball wouldn't have been surprising. It was also in the 90s that day. I got a watch tan. 

Did you know that Mc Donald's soft serve ice cream is suuuuuper amazing? Because it is. Especially on a hot summer day when you don't have ac in your car. I don't even know how they make it so soft and creamy. We also looked up the nutritional facts and it only has 165 calories or something like that. That's not bad for Mc Donalds. Just in case you were wondering.

 ^^ bus riding home after a long day at work. it's quite glamorous ^^

i haven't been here in so long! *sad face*

i hope you're all doing well.

there once was a time when i was blogging everyday.

every. single. day.

can you believe it?

the new schedule really knows how to consume me i guess.

it's been really good though!

i love being in the salon and being surrounded by such talented people. 

i also feel like i appreciate my weekends a lot more now.

and also jerry. can't forget him.

he totally supports me even though things have gotten just a bit more hectic around here.

love him and our nap times. 

even if it's just for 15 minutes.

:)

have a lovely week!

On being an introvert.

Jerry is an introvert. I'm kinda in the middle I guess. It depends on my mood and who I'm with. So ever since we got married, we've really just enjoyed keeping to ourselves and doing our on thang, on our own time, in our own space. But recently we've been pretty social and out going as a couple so I'm kinda proud of us. Not that we've been completely anti-social up to now, but we definitely enjoy our time to ourselves rather than having to socialize and be out and about all the time. Does that make sense?

Recently though, we've been hanging out with our usual group of friends and have had company almost every weekend. Whaaaaat? That's like an introvert's worst nightmare. But ya, we have. And it's been pretty fun actually. I guess it's nice that we've found a group of people who make us feel comfortable and also have similar interests. Also, there's always good food so that helps of course ;)

I don't blog during vacation. That's what I decided.

but then i realized, "oh wait, I never blog anymore." haha :p

Merry Christmas everybody! I hope you're all surrounded by loved ones. This year me and Jerry are spending it solo. Just the two of us. And whenever I say something like, "too bad we're not spending Christmas with family this year." He says, "but I am your family!" Oh..... right! Of course! ;) 

Birthday Anniversary.

Today is my one week birthday anniversary so I thought I'd celebrate with a blog post from my actual birthday. Jerry had to leave for work early in the morning so he couldn't spend the first half of my birthday with me. Boo. But honestly, I was totally okay with that because instead, I spent the whole day taking extra exxxxtra long to get ready for our date that night. And I say "extra long" as in like... 4-5 hours. LOL. Is that crazy or what? I don't even know how I did that. But it was kinda nice to just go about my day, taking my time to look pretty. I mean, I took a shower, painted my nails, curled my hair, and of course, had to do my makeup. It was a productive day.

Jerry also surprised me with a bunch of little activities he had prepared in advance to keep me busy until he got home. As soon as I woke up, there was a note that basically just smothered me with happiness. Then I went out into the living room and there were balloons everywhereeeee. Like, how on earth did he have time to do that in the morning before work? Superman skills I tell ya. The balloons also had little notes in them that I needed to put together in order to figure out where we were going for our date that night. Popping balloons scare me to death! But I was on a mission so it made it a little easier to get the task done I guess haha. Then I had a scavenger hunt to find a surprise that he had tucked away somewhere. It was a huuuuge popcorn bucket with a bunch of my favorite candy inside. Ummmm YES. I love popcorn! Especially when its paired with a good chick flick. Yes. Yes. Yes. 

Jerry finally got home later that afternoon and we headed out to dinner. We both ordered steak and also scallops as an appetizer. Honestly, I wish I would have just gotten the scallops as my main meal because they were amaaazing! Who knew scallops could be so good? The steak was pretty dang delicious too though so no complaints there. Then we went out and got me a personal sized strawberry cheese cake. Uh... I probably gained about 10 pounds that day. But anywho, it was a great birthday. The next day we hung out with my bro and his lady friend and we played some games. They even bought me a cake. Sweeeeet. Birthdays are the best.

24 yo. It's gonna be a good year!

Married Life Funnies: Don't ask your husband about makeup.

After putting eyeshadow on just one eye:

me: can you see the difference between this eye and this eye??

jerry: hmmm... yes?

me: really?

jerry: ya! one is your left eye, and the other is your right eye.

-_____-

no.
at least he tried though.

The Pumpkin Patch.

aaaaaaaaaaaand lots of pictures.

so here we go!

^^  notice how short jerry makes me look. i must have been sinking into the mud or something :D ^^

First of all, look at all those pumpkins! We went with some friends from the ward and this was my very first pumpkin patch experience ever. I was pretty dang excited about it. I mean, the only other time I've seen so many pumpkins is when they're lined up outside of a grocery store or something. Not that exciting. 

We also lucked out because it didn't rain that day. Dry pumpkin patchers, are happy pumpkin patchers. It's true! The weather here has been getting a bit colder though. And it's starting to rain a lot again. But honestly, I'm not all that bothered by it. It makes everything green and that's okay with me.

Oh ya! And also, we did the corn maze thing.

It was muddy.
Real muddy.
