Day 348

Have I ever talked to you about Jack?  Jack is my cat.  Jack is more than a cat... Hes like my little shadow.  When Im home and especially when Im sick he follows me around the house and never leaves my side.  Jack...
This is a pic of Payne and Jack

 This is how Jack sleeps every night

This is my favorite picture of Jack

He is always snuggling up with me when I dont feel good

Snoozing in the afternoon

Hanging out on the rug

He was batting at the camera to make me stop taking pictures

This is Jack spooning with Payne

My second favorite picture of Jack

Snuggling on my lap after a long day of doing Jack stuff


As you can tell this cat is my family... I just thought you should know...

Day 329

We redid our entire apartment.  Moved furniture around and then bought some new things at Ikea.  This first picture is of our living room.  
 We moved the couch around moved the tv and playstation into the living room and then bought two new bookcases.  We also got a new rug and painted an end table that you cant see from this point of view.  
The picture below is of our bedroom.

We moved our bed to infront of the window which freed up alot of space in our room.  We moved our desk to the foot of our bed and put a cool lamp next to it.  You can also see Payne taking a small break while I update the blog.  
The picture below is of Payne and Jack trying to relax.
Anyways I thought I would let you know what we are up to!  Thanks for stopping by!

Day 313

Sorry Ive been gone for so long.  I got this amazing new job and Ive been swamped with the summer season.  As our season is slowly winding down Im discovering that I am having more time to myself and get back to my blog!

But that isnt even the best news!  I finally decided to try my luck at starting a business!  Its really something Im growing more and more passionate about.  This is the logo Im working on.  I keep going back and forth on the lollipops as cross bones... But I do love the missing tooth and the ice cream scoop on the time.  Basically Im designing clothes that are comfy and fun to wear.  I love hoodies, t-shirts, and sweats!

Day 215

My house is almost clean.  Like its been scrubbed, mopped, vacuumed, windexed, cloroxed, and trash take out.  It feels amazing!  The weather here in Provo has been so amazing!  I've opened all the windows and let the breeze do its thing.  I feel like I'm spring cleaning my life as well.  In doing so ive found alot of things that used to make me happy that I gave up when I got married.  I don't know why I gave them up but I think it was because I felt like I had to please everyone else and I thought I needed to fit what everyone else thought I should be.  I gave up the music that made me me.  I'm starting to remember what makes me love me.  Like the music I listen to now is the same as before but its just the newer version.  I ADORE Simple Plan and I stopped listening to them.  Did you know they have like 2 newer albums out?!  Neither did I until I looked them up on iTunes.
So that made me think about every thing else that I "lost" when I got married.  Im not saying Lost in a bad way but when you get married you become a "We" or an "Us".  It takes time to figure out what your role is in the relationship.  ANYWAYS...
I rediscovered my love for band tshirts and comfy jeans.  Flip Flops. Fun summer dresses.  Parties in the park.  Dinner with friends.  Strawberries and salt.  Oreos and Peanut Butter.  Driving with the windows down and the radio off.  The clean smell of spring.  NOT waking up to an alarm.
The list could go on and on but Those are just a few!

Day 207

I hit 200 days!  Look at me do my thang!  Lol... Anyways.  I was thinking today about the past.  The people in it whom I miss and whom I dont miss.  And since I feel like I can tell you anything here it goes... In no particular order... Sean Carr, Mandy Allred, Amber Armstrong, Chelsey Badoni (now Ping), Isaiah Curtis, Katie Roberts, David Koch, Casey Snell, Andrew Jenkins, Donny Hilton, and Jessica Hart.  These people influenced my life in so many different ways and I miss them because they came into my life but never left my heart.  So if you know one of these people or are one of these people or have NO CLUE who these people are Im going to tell you who they are to me and what they mean to me.
Jessica Hart- She was one of my roommates in Provo, UT. She had the heart of a saint. But she did not put up with anyones BS. She was a straight shooter and that was all there was to it. I always knew I could get an honest answer from her and she and I had been through a few similar situations. We bonded over broken hearts and taking our lives back!
Donny Hilton- What oh what to say about Donny. He had the body of a God and was a genius but lacked street smarts. I could always count on Donny for a game of Halo. And I always kicked his trash when we played. Donny also took me fishing in the canyon in Provo. Donny, and his roommates Andrew and Casey, defended my honor when a certain douche bag tried to hurt me. For that I will always appreciate Donny, Casey, and Andrew. Donny also had to borrow a dress from me when he lost a bet. I still have the pictorial evidence.
Andrew Jenkins- Drew was the best. The only thing this boy was capable of making was a bowl of cereal. And because of that he ate at my apartment every day for almost a year straight. Drew was a brother to me.
Casey Snell- Casey was the suave ladies man that could do nothing to make me fall for him. I think thats why all those boys kept me around. I had nothing but Platonic feelings for them. I was unbreakable in their eyes. I had declared to Casey one night after staying up too late watching a sapy chick flick with him that I was NEVER going to fall in love and get married. He thought that was funny. I almost did too. Until my husband showed up. Casey predicted our relationship and was only happy for me to tell him he was right when the time came.
David Koch- My shopping partner in crime. You bought me my m&m necklace that I still have in my jewelry box. You made living at Raintree so much sweeter. And David introduced me to my husband! Thanks David!
Katie Roberts- Katie got me through Hair School. She made me think. She helped me find the goofy dorky girl that was just DYING to get out and dance! Katie was also the person who did my hair for me all through school and she pushed me to try new things.
Isaiah Curtis- There is alot to be said about our friendship. But its just better left unsaid.
Chelsey Ping- Weve been through hell together. And thats what friends should always do. Be there for eachother through everything.
Mandy Allred- Babe you and me have been friends for YEARS. Hell we used to be mistaken for eachother. PEOPLE THOUGHT WE WERE TWINS! I miss you terribly!
Sean Carr- You taught me so much about myself that I dont know if I was ready for it. You are my friend still to this day. You are missed.
Amber Armstrong- Youre my sister! Youre my BFF. Youre the girl who was my friend when the "snob squad" picked on me and threatened me. You werent afraid of standing out from the crowd. Your son is the LUCKIEST little boy to have you as his mom. Amber, I love you and I miss you!
Now to leave you with a little piece of my history in a song...
"Number One"
I saw my boyfriend hanging with this girl that I hate
He didn't have to tell me why last night he was late
I can't believe what you tell me
Your lies have come undone
Now I'm living on the run looking out for number one
I took a ride to the city
Had to get out of this place
I just can't stand the pity
When the tears fall down my face
I used to think it was over
But its only just begun
Now I'm living on the run looking out for number one
One day you'll see me but only when your dreaming
One day you'll say I was the one
I hitched a ride on a Greyhound stashed away on a train
Bought a ticket for the subway
Playin' guitar in the rain
I want to follow Rivers to an island in the sun
Now I'm living on the run looking out for number one
One day you'll see me but only when your dreaming
One day you'll say I was the one
Late at night trying to fight
I just might think about him
Right now I'm feeling fine
I'm better off without him ya!
One day you'll see me but only when your dreaming
One day you'll say I was the one
I know that one day you'll see me
I'll haunt you when your dreaming
One day you'll say I was the one
I'm number one

Day 198...

So at my new job I create new accounts for VIVINT.  I talk on the phone all day to sales reps and techs.  I get really irritated with them and sometimes have to get up from my cozy desk and walk away.  They get so cranky when our programs take too long to load or when I refuse to pass a survey because they lied.  Im over it.  So then the other day Dan, my supervisor said JORDAN Ive got a new job for you.  I was excited because this one was getting old.  Turns our hes making me a team lead AKA I dont have to take phone calls for 90% of my day!  Hooooooray!

In other news... Well... Theres none... :)
