Finals are Done!

Finals are all done. Thank frickin' heavens! I think I did a good job, but I won't find out until Tuesday. Heres to waiting.

Tomorrow is the test! :|

Tomorrow is the Astronomy test. I'm nervous!!! I am taking a quick break from studying and blogging about my day. Work was crazy!! I want to hit all those procrastinators that are horrible and don't get their books a month before Christmas. They make so much work for us at Barns and Noble. The ones I think are funny are the ones that act like we should know just the book they are looking for even though they themselves don't have the title, the author or even what the book is about. It cracks me up sometimes how many people act like we should know every book every published in every store in American. HA!

So when I left there was a massive stack of books at the Customer Service desk waiting for the replacements. I felt kind of bad...okay only for like one second though. HEHEHE!

Okay. Back to studying. Wish me luck!!

An A on Ethics and Values!!

I took my Ethics and Values final today and guess what? I got an A! How exciting is that? So it looks like that class and my Eng. 2010 class and my American Lit class I'll have A's in but we'll have to wait and see on my Astro 1040 class. The review went well, but as the questions got to later chapters, I seemed to have forgotten more and more. So it looks like I will need to study quiet a bit in the last few chapters to make sure I get a good grade. We calculated what I would need to get on the final to have an A in that class and it was a 93.2% to pull my grade from the 86.8% it currently is at. We shall see.

Loves,
Hayley

Harry Potter

So Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince comes out today and Weston won't let me go get it. I have to wait until Christmas. Blah! I am neither a patient or calm person and I really would like to have it today, now, yesterday would have been better. But because I love him and I want him to be happy, I will not go get it. Oh well...I guess I can wait a few weeks to watch the movie.

I didn't work out today. Well, thats not that big of a suprise, but I am trying to loose weight so, getting up in the morning is imperative. But Weston is making some homemade black beans and they are really good, but I just learned something. Do not open a pressure cooker when it is still pressurized. So this is what happened.

Weston leaves for school and I sit down to finish writing my blog and get to my paper when I hear this really strange sound coming from the kitchen. So I get up to check it out, and find the cooker is over flowing with black water. So I don't know what to do as I have never dealt with a pressure cooker before. So I freak and open the cooker because stuff is coming out everywhere. What happens when you open the can of a largely pressurized container? It explodes! Big Suprise! So I screach and yell and drop everything and push my hands under cold running water. The I call Weston and nearly yell at him. Just because I burned myself. Yea that's a good idea.

So now there is black water and sludge on the floor, ceiling, walls and stove. Yea, now my hands are burning and its hard for me to type. It's annoying!

Holy posting

I haven't posted since October? Holy crap! So there are quiet a few things that have happened since then. Trevor got married to his solemate the week before Thanksgiving and we couldn't be more happy for them. They are so cute and work so well together, its like God hand picked her for him. This is the last week of school. YEA! I am so excited! And then there is almost 3 whole weeks of no school before the next semester starts. This semester I should end pretty strong. Mostly A's and B's. Both my English classes I will get an A in and in my Ethics class should be an A or A- and then my Astronomy class should be a B or B-. Its been exciting, but I am already tired of school. And money is always a problem. But recently more so. We thought we had $500 in our savings account and it turned out to be a banking error. So instead of getting Weston and really great present, we get to do a dollar store christmas. But it's not about what we get eachother, but the time we spend together.

So Christmas is going to be fun. We're spending it with my family and together. We're going to hang at my family's for Christmas Eve and then have Christmas morning together. We're trying to get together a tradition for our family that neither Weston's or mine already do. I think we should make cookies, like sugar cookies and chocolate chip and peanut butter and chocolate. But we'll need to find the recipes.

Conference Temple Announcement

I can't believe a Temple will be made in Brigham City!!!!! That's going to be so exciting! I never thought that would happen! Especially since there are two temples really close to it, Ogden and Logan. I'm really excited for the temple though. That's going to be great!!! Yea!!!!

Stress and the American Family

We have finally reached the point were we both, Weston and I, feel like we can't continue going forward at the rate we are at. You know that point. Most people call it the breaking point...well I call it that too. I came into the bed room yesterday morning after I had finished my normal morning routine and Weston was laying on the bed staring up at the ceiling.
"I can't do it anymore." He said. I knew what he was talking about and I sat down next to him. "I can't do school and work and studying with no time for me. I just can't do it." I leaned over and rested my head against his chest. An arm came around me and pulled me in tight.
"I know honey. It's okay." We sat in silence for a little while, both of us thinking about what he had just said. "What do you want to do?" I asked.
"I think I'm going to cut back at work by 10 hours or so. They don't need me to work full time, so it would be a good idea anyway." I nodded my understanding and gave him a quick kiss.
"Okay then. I'm alright with that if that's what you want to do."
So he went in yesterday to his boss and told him that he was going to be cutting back his hours and that he was going to start the new schedule asap. His boss was okay with that, so he starts his new schedule today. It's nice because now we have Saturdays together!! I'm excited about that.
I have two exams coming up in my American Lit class and my Astonomy class. I'm a little nervous about the Astro. exam. It's not my strongest class to say the least. Last exam I got an 64 % which after the curve became and 80% and I got a B-, but still. I was really really upset when I saw that score. I wanted to kill the little monitor on the wall of the testing center that told me my score. Just rip it right off the wall. But I didn't. So this next exam I really hope I do better on.
I've got to go to the temple now, but I will write more later. Bye!

Criminal Minds

So I totally found a new TV show that I love!!!!!! It's called Criminal Minds and it's about the FBI Behavior Analyse Unit. It's an amazing show, the psycology of the serial killers is facinating and slightly scary. It's done a good job of making me casous though. I don't ever walk alone anywhere anymore and I make sure I don't open the door very wide if I don't know who it is. Last night I thought I heard two gun shots at about 11:00pm. I looked out the window and saw the neighbor look out their windows too. Weston told me that I needed to stop watching shows about cops and whatnot. But I still feel like something might have happened. A few months ago in the middle of the night at like 2 am we heard a bloodcurtling scream. It makes me a little nervous, but we've never had any problems here before, not that I know of.

School started last week. I'm taking English 2010, American Lit 2520, Ethics and Values and Astronomy. I haven't been in school for 4 years and so its been kind of hard to get back into the groove of things. The amount of reading that I have to do is very frustrating. Lets be totally honest, what people really want to read 35 pages about the star positions in the sky? Well I guess thats kind of a stupid question, there are lots of people that like that kind of stuff. Just not me. My phil class, Ethic and Values, is...interesting to say the least. The professor is really different, competely dissorganized and all over the place. He'll stop mid-sentence not knowing what he was talking about and he'll ask us. It's really weird. American Lit is good/bad. I enjoy reading the stories and talking about them, but my professor is so very liberal and makes a point to push it into our faces. It's kind of frustrating for me because its not an appropriate place to come back at him.

I've really liked being back at school though. There have been a few problems with financial aid. The funding isn't going to come through for another week or so. I'm going to have to pay some to keep my classes until the financial aid comes through. The annoying thing about it was that the girl I talked to didn't seem to care one bit about the fact that my money wasn't going to come through. People really bother me sometimes. Oh well, it's not the worst thing in the world.

Peace!!!

Disneyland and Hawaii!

So I know I haven't posted in a while, but I am now!!!!! I feel very accomplished today. I went to the library and got a parking pass at UVU (I'm scared to start school at Wednesday!). I went to Platos Closet and was disappointed because they only bought 2 things for $3.20. That was sad. I was expecting more, like maybe them taking my Abcerombi and Fitch shirt, but they didn't. Weird!!!!!!

Hawaii and Disneyland was amazing! Hawaii was one of those amazing experiences that will be kind of hard to top. The first day there, literally right from the airport, we went to the most beautiful beach I have ever seen! We jumped right into the water and it was like being wrapped in a huge soft blanket. I had so much fun and I saw my very first crab! It was black and totally blended in with the rock around it.

Friday we went scuba diving. I had never been before and it was fun, but kind of scary. I got nervous when it got really shallow. I would kind of freak out and swim into deeper water like a crazy person. But we did see a Sea Turtle and we took a picture with it!

That night we went to a luau. It was so much fun!!!!!!

Happy B-Day Hayley!

Its my B-Day today! Yea for me! I'm going to have a movie marathon with my parents. I'm pretty frickin excited! We're going to go see Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Star Trek (again), and Fighting, though I don't think my mother will want to go see that one very much! Then Weston and I are going to have dinner and he is going to tell me what we are doing this weekend. I'm pretty frickin' excited! Wait, I think I said that already! hehehehe

Conference

Conference was amazing!!! Weston and I were watching my niece Sierra at her house. It was kind of weird to be there with Weston at Heather and Ryan's. The last time we were at their house overnight we weren't married and I couldn't sleep with him in one bed. But now we could and it was kind of weird. I was pretty excited to watch her. I was worried that I would start to get sick of the baby, but I haven't yet. She's a delight to watch, when she's not tired. Once she gets tired, thats when its time to put her to bed. She's pretty much adorable. She always brings things to us to look at then takes them back immediatly. It's so cute! She also makes this really cute squel noise. I really love watching her!!!

Conference itself was really great. It weird because some of the time I watch and I'm completely focused, and others I'm about to fall asleep. Its hard for me to stay awake, its really frustrating. I want to stay awake, I want to stay focused but sometimes it's hard for me. But on the talks I was awake for were all amazing. The talk by Elder Bednar was really amazing. The fact that he came right out and said that those that have not been going to the temple need to repent and start to go again. It was really amazing! Weston and I looked at each other with a little shock.

I really liked Elder Oaks talk about self sacrefice. It was amazing! I really felt the need to start helping people. I love how the talks are always what we need to hear. Like the economy, faith, missonary work...etc.

I love our Phrophet. He is an amazing man, full of love and gentle words. But he is not to timid to say what needs to be said. He says the most amazing things, warnings to the people, giving love and hope as well as warning.

Working out!

Weston and I started working out and OH MY GOSH!! I frickin hate Weston for exactly an hour every day.

Today he had me do a half hour of cardio, no big deal, but then made me do pull ups and arm dips. My arms already hurt because of the bicep curls that he had made me do on Monday, but they feel like they are going to fall off today! Then he had me do a few leg things which weren't so bad. I had done those exercises before and I actually liked it.

But Weston is going to kill me! But my body is going to look like Beyonce's or J Lo's. I'm pretty frickin' excited.

I Hate TEENAGE BOYS!!!!

So I have to be completely honest, I HATE TEENAGE BOYS! For those of you that don't understand why I say this, let me explain. About a week ago I get a random text message from a number I didn't recognize talking about a Kyler person. I answer back telling them who I was and that I didn't know who he was talking about. He then proceeds to text me telling me that I have to be the person he was trying to contact. I continue to tell him that I have no idea who he is looking for. I don't get anything for a few minutes then I get a text that is not just suggestive, but completely disgusting. I immediatly text him back and told him that if I ever got a text from him again I would report him to the authories. He called me, HE CALLED ME!!!! I answered and said

"What do you want?" Silence. "You're not going to talk? Real mature!" Then I hung up.

He text me right back and asked who I was. I told him for a second time and told him never to contact me again.

Weston then called him and in the normal male, husband fashion defended me and told the kid never to contact me again or mesures would be taked. I didn't hear anything again from him until the next day at which he called me and said

"Oh, sorry! Wrong number." Yea, like I believed that.

So nothing Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

Then this afternoon I get a text saying nearly exactly what the kid before had said from a different number.

I immediatly called the police. I wasn't going to deal with this again.

I could not believe it. The kid had told Weston that he was only 15 and somehow that made him get away with acting that way. I DON'T FRICKING THINK SO!!!

I was so angry that this kid thought it was okay to say things like that, to think it was funny and to continue doing it when I explictaly told him that it was not okay and that I would take legal measures!

So that is why I don't like teenage boys.

This kid is going to get the full extent of the law! I really don't like him!!!!!

What?

What's the point? Writing about how I am angry isn't going to fix it.

Writing is hard!!!

So one of my New Years Resolutions is to have my book completely finished by the end of the year. Gally copies out, edits done etc... Well I'm beginning to feel like this is going to much harder then I had first anticipated. While I am still really excited about moving ahead, I am also going to have to work very hard. And for those of you that know me, you know that I am going to have ruff go of it. I'm not use to working hard on just one thing at a time. But I am determined to do it. I will do it. I refuse to fail. I'll keep you posted on how that all goes for me.

Outsourcing in India!!!!!

So, let's say you have a problem with your computer. Let's say that you call the Tech Support number on the website for the computer company (cough cough, Dell). But let's say that this company outsources this Tech Support team after 5:00pm to India where the accents of the workers remind you of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon from the Simpsons about to ask if you want a slurrpi.

Okay, all joking aside, this has happened to hundreds of us with different electrical objects. Computers, DVD players, phones etc... This time it was Weston's computer. He contracted a Trojan Viris. Since he got it he cannot open up his computer except in Safe Mode.

We called Dell's Tech Support thinking that these people could help us with our little problem. And let me tell you. I HATE DELL!!!!!!!!!!!! So first Weston get's on with someone in America who understands English. It all starts out good. He gets on Westons computer remotly and lets him know that he has a Trojan Viris on his computer (like we didn't know already.) Then he says that he would love to take the viris off his computer for a small fee of...
...
...
$200.


Yea $200 for them to take a viris off of a computer that was still under warrenty. So he had already paid $1,500 for the computer and now if he wanted to take the viris off for $200. Talk about a rip off! It's so stupid. Then they transfered Westons 3 times, each back and forth between two different departments and each time he was given to some one that obviously was only taught the English language for certain situations.

An hour and 5 transferes later and the workers basically calling him a lier, Weston finally hung up on one of the guys.
