I Would Rather

Today I didn't want to get out of bed. I almost didn't come to work today. I would have rather gnawed on the foot of an antelope. I would have rather taken the GMAT today. I would have rather cleaned my bathroom. I would have rather stayed at the gym all day. I would have rather done anything that come into work at 7 in the morning. Good thing Gold's didn't have classes in the morning today. I almost went, but had the good sense to call and confirm there wouldn't be any. I would have cried if I went to Gold's at 6 am this morning.


I would do anything so that I could have kept sleeping in my warm, comfy sheets. Not to mention Carlos has school off, and he gets to have a somewhat relaxing day. I've got a case of the Mondays. . .

Can it be Sunday again?
Can it?
Can it? 

Awesome, Fun, and Not So Fun

Going to bridal fairs is really fun. Do you think it's weird to go before really being engaged? I got to get some yummy foods, some great ideas, and spend some fun times with my family.

But you know what is more fun? Going to visit the love o' your life at 1 am where he works. Then listening to Enrique and Spanish songs for an hour. That's really fun. What's not so fun is looking forward to eating Wendy's and watching The Bachelor, but then throwing up what you ate at Wendy's and falling asleep during The Bachelor.

Live is crazy, life is wonderful.

It seems like I can never have enough time with Carlos. Which is ok, it's probably safe to say that we are completely, totally in love.

I can't help but being so cheesy, but I love Carlos so much. It's crazy to think that we've been dating for just about a year! It seems like time has flown by so fast!

Bridal Fairs Before Actually Being Engaged: Jumping the Gun?

Is it weird to be already looking at things for when I get married? As in, I'm going to go to the wedding expo this weekend, but it's just to look...It's no longer an if, it's a question of when. Which is weird, but I am so ready.

Is it weird to be heading to bridal fairs when I don't have a ring on my finger yet? I know he likes it, but hasn't put a ring on it. . .

Oh well, I've got other things to worry about. Like the looming GMAT. Please let this be the last standardized test I have to take. Please, oh please, oh please.

I'm also enjoying my new apartment, I love the new freedom. I love being able to come home and not worry about someone judging what Carlos and I do. We've been enjoying this new freedom. Not to mention that my new roommates are pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. They are all laid-back and super sweet.

Oh, and I have got to start getting some more sleep. I've been relatively good, which surprises me. Here's to the freakin' weekend.

ps, I've still got to post about VA trip. I just have to find the time...

Merry kunishmas...

I love the holidays. I can't wait to have my mini Christmas with Carlos and leave for va tomorrow!! Excited doesn't begin to cover it.

Carlos began our holiday weekend by bringing me flowers at work. I was so embarrassed but so excited. I love when he brings me flowers. :)

We then went to Bombay house and got delicious Indian food. Then, I got this awesome groupon where we could go ice skating for cheeeeeep! CheAp I say! Carlos had never been--ever--so we had a blast. He never fell once! We didn't stay long because we had to go see the lights at temple square!

They were so beautiful but it was so
Cold! I guess I didnt bundle up like I should. Have...ooops. It was so fun to sit and enjoy the holidays with my love. :)

Family time was fun. I got to see the cousins and Carlos got to go to Christmas eve dinner with my moms side of the family. It was great. So much yummy food. My family is now accepting that Carlos and I are pretty serious--just wish he'd hurry up already. Hahah. O well...

I felt like a certified adult with my gifts. I mostly got clothes, which was fun--I guess. :p it was fun to be with the siblings because who knows where élan will be next year!!!

Packing for the trip to va. Can't believe it. Hope it's great--I'm sure it will be! I'm with Carlos!

Carlos and I had our own mini Christmas. I got him a recipe book for all of our recipes, a gift certificate for archery lessons (totally bad a--I know) and a USB thingy for his car. :) my family even got him a cashmere sweater and a puzzle :) I got a cookbook (yum) and a zombie book! I think Carlos is telling me I need to read more...

I was more excited to give gifts this year than receive them--which probably means I'm an oldie! O well..

Here's to a new year--let's see what this one will bring!

Holiday lights and Reception Nights

I had the most wonderful evening with my Carlos. We first went to one of my best friend's wedding reception. She is a childhood friend that I have known since I was probably 8 years old. So we've known each other for good lil while now. It was so strange to finally realize how grown up I am becoming. Friends getting married, graduating, what's next, babies in a baby carriage. :P

After the wedding reception, I begged Carlos to take me to the holiday lights at Thanksgiving Point. :) It is on my holiday bucket list after all. Let me tell you, that was the most fun that we've had in like, a day. We've been having some fun times. Last night, we went holiday shopping and then we made some nummy enchiladas. :) Bring on the holidays. 

We went a little mental while waiting to see the lights. Mental meaning, I was opening the car door, and Carlos was slamming on the breaks kind of mental. We probably laughed the whole time we were in there, and people thought we were annoying, but w. 

While we were waiting we took some daaang good pics. Aren't we the hottest thing that you've ever seen? 

This one cracks me up. Yeah, this is us, in a nutshell. 

Yay for the holidays. Yay for love, and yay for Virginia in 9 days. Is it sad I'm more excited for Virginia than Christmas? 

Finals survival kits

Even though I am not in school right now, I am still feeling the pressure of finals. Mostly because every one I associate with has em. Carlos, my brother, Cec. . .(I've got other friends promise) And, I am studying for the GMAT which I take in about a month. I am stoked. So, this morning (I may or may not have gotten to work a lil' late), I ran over to Carlos' to drop off a Finals Survival Kit. It was filled with his favorite goodies. I didn't take too many pics, mostly because I was driving when I took these, but you get the idea. The box was where I got some of my Christmas presents from--I love those boxes--they are so thick and sturdy! :) 

I want the below picture in my future home. Isn't that just the best? 

This is what I do when I study for the GMAT. It's no fun. Haha. (Especially when I realize that I will have taken the LSAT and the GMAT within the same year--might as well take the GRE for good measure eh?) 

Lazy Sunday

Here's to lazy Sundays. Days where you sleep all day, and watch tv and get on Pinterest for the hours that you are awake.

Yesterday was a lazy Sunday. So lazy that I (went to bed at midnight) woke up at 12, stayed awake for 2 hours (stake conference) then went back to bed for a 2 hour nap.

Then I took Carlos some dinner. Yum, yum. It's his last Sunday where he works all day on Sunday at the MTC. I am so excited to go to church with him again. :)

Less than two weeks and I can start moving my stuff out. Yes!

Hung out with Cec and made some semblance of fruit pizza. Good times. People think we are crazy when we get together--and it's eerie how we can be thinking the same thing at the exact same time. I attribute it to the fact that we've been roomies for a year. :)

How awesome would this sleeping bag be?

I slept a total of 14 hours. Not bad. Considering I have had a lot of late-nights.

Not bad at all.
