Would you rather..

This was kind of interesting and i'm bored haha.

1. Know exactly when you're going to die, OR exactly how?
(I would rather know exactly how. I think knowing when would depress me too much but i guess you wouldn't be worrying about it .)

2. Be financially set for life--but never be able to travel outside the U.S., OR be financially set for life--but never be able to set foot back inside the U.S?
(I have no idea. I want to travel everywhere but i really would like to come back home too! That being said i think i would go with never being able to come back to the US.)

3. Never get to watch TV shows again (including on the internet or DVD), OR never get to watch another movie again (including internet/DVD)?
(It think i'd go with Movies. Just because. No real logic behind this one.)

4. Be the sole survivor of a plane crash or shipwreck on a deserted island--with no hope of ever being rescued, OR be one of the people who dies in said crash/shipwreck?
(Die, if it was painless and quick. I don't really like to be alone.)

5. Give up the internet for a week, OR give up your car for a month.
(Give up the internet. I'm just not an internet junkie. I'm on it all day just because i'm at work but i rarely go on at home or on the weekend.)

6. Have a demanding job that you really don't like--but will earn you more money than you could ever want within 15 years, OR work at a job you absolutely love for the rest of your life--and have to live paycheck-to-paycheck?
(Demanding job. It's worth the security. Then in 15 years i'd get a job i liked.)

7. Be absolutely brilliant--but very average looking, OR be absolutely gorgeous--but only have average intelligence?
(Be brilliant. Average isn't bad looking it's just not super model. i think i'm pretty average now so not much would change other than my brilliance level :)

8. Live in an inner-city apartment for the rest of your life, OR live in the country at least 1/2 mile away from your nearest neighbor for the rest of your life?
(The country. I like the space. And you can always go into town whenever.)

9. Never get to eat ice cream ever again--but always stay slim and fit, OR eat ice cream whenever you want--but gradually gain weight until you are a fat old person, regardless of how much you exercise?
(I could go without ice cream.)

10. Lose your passport/wallet/money/all identification while traveling overseas, OR have your computer crash just before finals or a big presentation?
(Computer crash. I would freak out if i lost all that stuff in another country!!!)

So i heard of this awesome site! And even better there is a giveaway for the first 20 people who post about it. We'll see if i win.

The Rings

Here are a couple views of my wedding rings. I have two wedding bands and they are rose gold. Love them!!! David let me wear them all day on Friday :) I love him!!!

Dying of sleep deprivation

3 Hours just doesn't cut it. The culprit: Caffeine



I had too much at Sukie and Wudan's last night. Usually it doesn't affect me too much but sometimes it will keep me up all night. That's what happened last night. Although, watching "Crash" didn't help either.

My night consisted of trying to sleep on the couch. Watching the food network, iron chef. and trying every other possible thing to get me to sleep. Obviously nothing much worked.

Hopefully I'll get back to normal tonight and get to sleep well.

Babysitting

Like i said, I babysat Alice on Tuesday. Carolyn was having her wisdom teeth out and couldn't take care of her so she thought it would be easier for her and Alice if they just didn't see each other for the day. so David and i took her and played house for the day. It was fun.



We took her to devotional and then she was ready for her nap. She even fell asleep in the car. Sadly she was terrified of my bedroom, where her port-a-crib was set up, so she didn't go back to sleep until i bounced her and let her sleep on my chest. After that she slept fine.



After her nap we went on a little excursion. We picked up our sign in book from our photographer. It's so cute! Then we went and walked around some shops with Alice. We had a fun time. She hated the sun in her eyes in the car so David let her borrow his sunglasses.



After our outing Alice took another nap, this time on the couch. She slept pretty well.



After her nap she had a blast playing with David.



Then we ate dinner and then went back to Alice's house to have a bath and put her to sleep since she wasn't going to sleep well in my room. She did really well the whole time and is getting more independent i guess. We had a great time with her! Our friends predicted that the day would either be a big birth control pill or would just make me super baby hungry. The report: Neither. Alice was just her normal self so it wasn't too bad. I'm not super baby hungry either.

The only big realization that i had happened the next morning when my entire body was sore from holding her and bouncing her. I hurt. Sadly, in addition to the funny muscle soreness, i also am having some hip pain. Not cool! Nothing super bad, I'm just sore but it makes me really think about how physically able (or not) i will be to actually have and take care of kids without needing a hip replacement after the first one. Oh well, i guess I'll figure it out when it gets here.

I survived....

Babysitting Alice all day. But that's a story for a different post. (Probably tomorrow, with pictures.)

I was talking with my coworker today when we heard our boss outside. We both just looked at each other and rolled our eyes about whatever it was she was saying. Then we pondered the question: "Are all jobs like this? Is this really what we have to look forward to for the next 40+ years? Or is it possible that maybe, just maybe, not all bosses are like ours and not all workplaces are like ours? Is there hope for us or are we destined to someday become the loathed bosses ourselves?" Very deep thoughts. Really though, i wonder sometimes. My job is not horrible by any stretch of the imagination but it could be better. I suppose all jobs could be. Oh well. Just the deep, contemplative thought of the day :)

P.S. Happy 3 month Preniversary :) David brought me flowers with the best note ever!!! I love him!!!

And you thought mormons were conservative....

Watched a Duggar wedding last night on TLC with David. Interesting.

So this family has 18 kids, yes 18, all birthed by the same woman, all have the same father. Crazy huh? They seem like a pretty nice family. Super conservative, very religious, home schooled, special. Not necessarily in a bad way, but definitely special.

Their oldest son got married on TV last night. The son is 20, don't know how old the bride was. So here's a little background... they believe in traditional courtship. Like ask the father before even dating, traditional. Once they got engaged they were excited because they had permission to hold hands. They couldn't go anywhere without a chaperon, even in public in broad daylight. And here's the kicker, they aren't kissing until they are married.

Admirable i suppose. I shouldn't knock it. But as the wedding approached they were talking about how they were excited for the first kiss and how they had talked about it a little bit. OK I'm sorry but if you're getting married you need to be aware that more than just a kiss is going to happen. For real people! Talk about a shocker come wedding night!

So purity is great. naivete, however, is a whole different thing.

Here is a list the father, of the 18 kids, made of his top 10 tips for a successful marriage. #1 sums up their philosophy perfectly.

What are peoples thoughts on the whole situation? This could be an interesting discussion :)
