Keepin' It Real

I've learned that "promise" is a strong word. If you say it, people will hold you to it.

But I don't mind. I really didn't know so many people read this silly thing.

So what's been up with us, you ask? A LOT of nothing...if that makes sense. As a couple been doing really good, but I've lacked motivation lately. I think my problem is I try to accomplish too much in one day, and when the sun sets and I'm still looking at my To Do list I feel like I've failed.

Today Matt literally dragged me out of the church pew and made take on a walk with him so I could "smell the posies." We spent the rest of Sacrament in the wind and the sunshine. And we wondered about how much bird poop was on top of the temple.

I'm happy to report that I haven't had a migraine in over two weeks! Last week we took a trip to Idaho Falls to get me some glasses. When I put them on for the first time and gazed out at the parking lot, it was like I was seeing Idaho for the first time. On the way home I was shouting out the names of road signs just because I could. By the end of the day I felt like I had super powers. I will now be known as Opti-Girl! I love my new glasses and Matt says they up my cute factor. <---my other super power.

Since my bout of migraines I've been very fatigued, but I mostly account that to the fact that I get up and go to one job or another six days a week. It takes a lot of effort to get me out of bed these days. Yesterday I cried when my alarm started blaring at me. My preschoolers suck the life out of me sometimes with there airplane races and constant questions. Its amazing how curious a three year old is about the world....makes you put somethings into perspective. But I love my job. Its a good day if I only have to scale up the rock wall to rescue one of them.

Funny story....
Matt asked me if I was going to wear my glasses when I taught preschool. I thought about it and said, "No, probably not." Here was my explanation: "It wouldn't be a good idea cuz I'm upside down a lot....I roll around on my head sometimes....occasionally I'll get smacked or kicked in the face...." And then I realized, that's my JOB DESCRIPTION! When did I sign up to get kicked in the face!? Haha. Good thing their feet are so little.

Other new developments have happened since spring started. I've been diligently going to workout classes with Aubrey. My favorites are Yoga, Pump It, and Water Aerobics - which kicks my but by the way! I used to think of water aerobics and picture middle aged women wading in the shallow end of the pool lifting milk jugs above their heads. Ooooh no sir! We did laps, we did crunches with noodles, we did leg kicks till the brink of death. I nearly drowned seven times! I'm not sure what I saw at the public pool when I was six but that was not water aerobics! I now know what Aubrey feels like when we do yoga.

Just because we had the money to blow, Matt and I bought Guitar Hero World Tour. Its really fun! We started our own punk band, Coward Academy. Matt is our drummer and I play guitar and sometime sing. Sometimes with a British accent. We're like the White Stripes. Except we're not brother and sister. We're married. But I promise we won't be like all those other crazy Hollywood couples. No, we keep it real. It doesn't get anymore real than Mac 'n Cheese in a one bedroom apartment.


So what have we learned boys and girls?

1. Sleeping in is the best way to spend the morning.

2. I have super powers.

3. Water Aerobics is hardcore, and don't let anyone tell you different.
