Shared sunday dinner is a kind of new thing that we've started! Curt and Bryan have a very nice, sweet, caring room mate named Jeremy! and he invited our house over for dinner on Sunday! we made cal zones, carved pumpkins, talked for forever, and had a generally good time! even their room mate William Thomas- who i swear is afraid of the human population, stuck around the whole time!
our house was in charge of dessert, so i made a giant Pizooki! the edges burnt a little bit.. but it was good!
i love spending time outside of our house, with other people! this coming Saturday were feeding the elders and inviting Jeremy's apartment, and our friend Theo and his housemates as well! i'm super excited!
being raised in a home where there was always people over and good food and good conversation made me really love doing the same thing.
in fact when we have people over and there isn't any food involved i feel alien. like something isn't right.
i also get really excited for Sunday dinners!
thanks ma(:

boyfraaannn.
so a lot of you may have noticed my relationship change on Facebook. yes, i do in fact have a boyfriend.
his name is Curtis Clark Young. hes a skinny little guy who is about 6 inches taller than i am ( so hes pretty small).
Curt is very passionate about music. That is one of the very first things we ever talked about, and hes always finding new stuff and trying to get people around him hooked on it! He also likes old movies and Pokeman.
to sum it up, hes a nerd. a really funny one. he walks around town with these HUGE headphones on and everyone calls him the headphone guy. he works at sonic, hes the drive through guy- everyone in town knows him because of that. (even some of the kids i coach).hes really good with words half of the time he says stuff and it just goes over my head...but i play along like i know what hes saying and eventually i get it!
hes from Tuscon where his younger sister and parents live. he has two sisters that live in Utah! and a brother in San Francisco. one of his sisters in Utah is married and has 2 cute little babies, and the rest of his siblings are single! hes the second to last in age order!
im trying to think what else is relevant information.. i cant think of anything. if you have questions, just ask.
how did we meet? Bryan.
his room mate Bryan told him all about me and how much he liked me. Bryan wanted to date me, so Curt came into the picture trying to help get me and Bryan set up.
i remember the first day we met. Bryan was so excited to introduce us! but i was super sick. it was my second weekend here and i had caught some kind of bug. so they come strolling into the house when i looked and felt like death. i wanted nothing to do with either of them. so they left almost as soon as they came.
weeks went by and we started hanging out all the time just because we had all the same friends. then the weekend came that Bryan brought me home to PHX to pick up Mira Elisa.
the entire weekend i was texting Curtis because he had bailed on the trip and i really didnt want it to just be me and Bryan because i didnt want him to get the wrong idea.
anyway! so then we started texting all the time. Curt's side of the story states that he kept trying to find reasons to come over. we started seeing each other everyday.
the weekend that we built a fort in the living room was the weekend i knew i wanted to be with him.
he tried to get into the dance with me and Jaz (we didn't have the right ID cards) so we all went to Denny's instead. we just all three talked for a long long time.
i started telling Jaz that i would be cool if Curt and i dated and she started to get on board with the idea!
the 4 of us, Jaz, me, Curt, and Bryan would hang out every night! sometimes we would watch movies, other times it was a card game or whatever we could do. whenever a day or tow would go by that we didn't see each other i would feel way weird. like something just wasn't right.
so then one night were watching a terrible movie (him and Jaz thought it was fantastic). so were watching this movie and Jaz starts taking up half of the couch and pushing Curt and i closer together. then he put his arm around me. *this is the magic moment where it all kind of started*
after that we would have the nightly hang outs like normal but Bryan and Jaz would flake out early because we were staying up until like 3 am. -its insane i know.
anyway! one night we were having a really good conversation and he asked me, "what if i just kissed you right now? " and i said, "i dare you." and he did.
a couple days later i asked him what we were doing (that define the relationship chat) and he asked me to be his girlfriend!
this only brought on tons of drama from Bryan and Blythe who were/ still are against it.
we waited like 2 weeks before we told anyone but Jaz. and even after that it took another 2 weeks before Bryan would talk to either of us. i take that back, Bryan talked to me. but he was so mean that he made me cry. he told me to go die.
needless to say that its cooled down an awful lot. and things are good right now!(:

date night
Curt and i went on a date later on, after Mema and Ed took off. there is this cute little place in town where they sell shaved ice shakes! its so yummy! Curt and i got our usual watermelon shakes and his friend Kye and his girl Christina (i think thats what her name was.. ) got shakes too and then we headed for the movie theater!
the place was packed full! which is understandable because its the only place in town... so we saw taken 2. it was really really good! i had a really good time!
usually when Curt and i hang out were able to talk and make fun of each others reactions to whatever is going on. so i wasnt in love with the movie theater setting. but oh well! it was a fun date and it was fun to meet Kye- i guess hes one of Curt's oldest friends from back home. so it was fun to hear them talk about when they were growing up! (:
i like going on dates

Mema and Ed came to visit me!
My Mema came to see me! Her and Ed and i went around town and i showed them around! we went out to the temple and walked around for a while. then we went back to my house to grab my bike so we could bring it to a bike shop and have the tire fixed! ( i have such good grandparents!)
we went out for lunch in old town Safford! at a really yummy little place called El Charo, i had never been there before but i'd heard good things! and bonus points- it was close to the bike shop!
after lunch they took me grocery shopping! i don' think i have to go shopping for the next month. no joke, we had a hard time closing the freezer once everything was in! they are so good to me.
the reason they came out was because i had asked Ed if he could give me a blessing so that i could have a clear head and just be able to keep things together. he was kind enough to do so, hes a good man.
i am incredibly thankful to have people in my life that care for me so much. having Mema and Ed in town made me really miss being at home and being even further surrounded by those people.
i love you guys. thank you.

homecoming weekend
back story: Jaz and B and i all sat down one night and decided to make a bucket list for the time that we're all here together! it included a whole bunch of stuff (the old people thing we did was on it) so this weekend we looked at it and found an easy one that we liked- couch cruzin! so Jaz and i went to home depot and got a furniture dolly. we came home and put the old couch from our porch on it. (the dolly was a lot smaller than the couch so we had to balance it out)
only one person could ride at once and that person had to hold onto a flashlight so that when cars were coming we wouldn't get hit! because yes, we were on the regular road.
the homecoming celebration included a huge bonfire and fireworks! so we "Drove" our couch out there! it was so much fun! and we met sooo many people who were like, "hey can i take a seat for a second?" hahaha it made me giggle every time someone walked past and said "dang. why didn't we think of that?" or anything along those lines.
by the end of the night the couch wasn't rolling so well so we pulled the dolly out to check it out. the middle wood piece had cracked somewhere durring our journey, and the best part- one of the big old plastic wheels inverted. it was so warped it didnt even look like a wheel! it was more like a square cone.
so Quintin (the one with the glasses) walked home to get his truck so we could get the couch home!
the dolly was only 20$ so i think sometime down the line were going to try again! (:
cockroach.
so Curt is over this weekend and we stayed up pretty late watching the Sandlot. when the movie finally ended he was on his way out, a cockroach crawled across the floor! i panicked and made him try and kill it. he couldn't find it, so we gave up and he went home. about an hour later Jaz wakes up and starts running into the living room (thats where i was sleeping) and then she ran into Blythe's room. so were all awake at like 3 am because Jaz woke up to the "sound of something crawling by her head"
we look around, cant find anything.
then Jaz gets up to go pee and starts screaming again- she found it. it was on the ceiling. so we grab some raid and a broom. i sprayed it and Blythe 'broomed' it. a few seconds later we see another one crawling by her dresser. the Blythe lifts the broom to find that the little guy is gone. he made a run for it. so we chase it across the room spraying it and trying to smash it. to no avail.
finally we see it go into the closet and Jaz goes, "thats Satan" "thats a devil roach."
and it came running out, right at her. at this point it got pounded with raid and smashed as hard as we could. he just laid there all dead like for a second. then he started trying to turn over onto his legs again. we all started screaming.
Blythe held the broom over him as a threat almost while i ran for matches. Jaz and i burned his head off and then B Flushed him.
this story makes me laugh so hard, the entire time it was happening i was laughing too. which spurred dirty looks from Blythe, who was dead beat tired, and a whimper from Jaz, who was scared out of her pants.
i just find the whole thing to be really funny! here it is, 3 in the morning and were all running around after a roach, but each of us is so scared that if it moves too close to us we scream. hahahaha

best job in the entire world.
gym coach. that's what i am.
my job is perfect, i come home all peppy afterwards simply because it is so great! i love talking to the kids about everything and anything they can think of. i love teaching them new tricks and seeing their eyes light up when they finally grasp how to do it by themselves. i even get to do really cool stuff like go to Mesa with the older girls...
on the 6th of this month i woke up really early to ride my bike to the gym (this is also the morning my tire popped on my bike. so i got a ride with Jaz) (another side note story- my room mate Jazmyn is working at the gym now too. she doesnt have a load of hours but its something to help pay for food every month!)
anyway! early morning at the gym. we load up all the little girls (8-10) into a little bus, while the older girls (12-17) all jump into Heidi's car. (Heidi is my boss).
i end up being in charge of chaperoning the bus. a three hour ride with all these little girls really didn't sound like fun but i'm no stranger to cramped loud car rides. so i brushed off the annoyed feeling. we get about an hour into the trip- on those tight roads in the mountains when we run into a huge accident. it was a scary enough accident to have 3 air evac. helicopters come to pick up injured people. so we sat in a backed up line of cars for about 2 hours, until the road cleared. at this point everyone was restless and curious and straight up insane. it was okay though- we just popped in the Taylor Swift CD for the 8th time and then focus was averted.. oh little girls..
so we finally pull into the gym in Mesa area. everyone runs in and throws on Leos and we start our workout!
this was no workout i had ever done. workouts i had attended as a kid we structured and had purpose. this however was completely different. we gave them free reign of the gym. so some girls went to bars, other girls just played in the pits, some of them spent the whole time on the trampolines, they were everywhere. i guess the idea was that since we dont have this equipment they were suposed to try it all. and as coaches we were suposed to float around and help with different things and spread our knowledge about whatever the heck they were working on.
all in all it was a really interesting trip. but i felt like it was good for me to get to know the girls better.
another really awesome thing i got to do with my work was the parade! we walked along behind a float of our preschool and little tumblers classes and when ever the float would stop, we would back up and tumble. i mostly ran along side of the girls to make sure they wouldn't bulk last second and eat pavement.
i had a blast, and i even have an official coach shirt now! how cool is that?
