Feeling Old

Last night Kyle and I went to Smash Burger for dinner. I ordered the smash club and made an Uncle Jesse reference that fell flat with the server.

"Like from Full House."

"Yeah that was WAY before my time."

*once server is out of ear shot*

"Seriously? The Cosby Show was before my time but I still get the references!"

"The Cosby Show WAS your time!"

"No it was on in the 80s. I wasn't watching sitcoms as a toddler!"

"But it ended in the 90s, you were watching TV when you were ten weren't you?"

"Yeah... Full House and  Dr. Quinn. Which both ended in the late 90s."

"Right. Probably before that kid was born."

"Am I that old? I feel like the general public should get Full House references no matter how old they are."

The Salt Flats

Kyle and I went for a drive the other night out to the salt flats.

I needed to take a Flat Stanley picture to mail back to my brother's kindergarten class.

Kyle wanted to shoot a music video.


I can't believe I get to live here.

Then Kyle told me to smile.
Lovely.
I told him I wasn't wearing makeup.
Well maybe a little lipstick...
But I was not prepared.

I always look better when I am laughing.
He refused to attempt to make me laugh
So I laughed at his grumpiness.
I love his grumpiness.
He is a total phony though.
He is really lovely.

When I looked at this picture I thought. "I look 30."
But I am 30.
So I guess it's ok.




Life is good.

Online Dating (My 24 hour venture)

The other night Kyle A was over. He is the king of LDS dating websites. He actually meets good ones from time to time that I really like. In fact I am trying to get him to be more serious about a current one that I really like. But he never listens to me.

Anyway... One of my favorite things is to use Tinder for him on his phone. I pull it up and deny all the girls who aren't wearing enough clothes, or I don't deam to be his type, or that are trying too hard. It is fun for us. The other night he was on a different site where you answer like a zillion questions and it gives you your top matches based on  how you answer then shows you a percentage.

We signed me up mostly because I wanted to see if it would match me up with my bestie.

There he is 86% match! And... 16% Enemies. He messaged me about it. I should have taken a screen shot of that before I deleted my account.

Kyle: So 16% Enemies huh?
Me: That seems low.

Ha. I just like my Kyle a lot. Seriously.

One more thing... for Kate...

Sorry Triman. That's a deal breaker for me. If you can't be gassy what do you have? Certainly not love.

Moral of the story. I deleted my account. Kyle really is the greatest thing on there. Why he isn't the hottie of the online dating world I don't know but I already *have him. So no dating site needed.

P.S. These guys need to be more original. Almost every single message I received said something about my smile and called me angel. They obviously don't know me too well. Seriously.

*By HAVE I mean I have access to his stellar friendship... Unless he is on a hot date.

Prayer Time

It was Caleb's turn for family scriptures last night. Dad was helping him.

Dad: Bless Jake and Cami while they are in California

Caleb: bless Jake and Cami

Dad: we are grateful for a good Christmas season.

Caleb: good mismis

Dad: bless the missionaries

Caleb: bless my friend tommy

Dad: bless that we will all be good

Caleb: dad, me say that no!

*stifled laughter*

AMEN

Christmas musings

What is figgy pudding? Is it like bread pudding? Because that's my favorite!

Why don't they say "bring us some figgy pudding" in the song anymore? They just say "we all love pu-d-ding." It's awkward.

Does anyone understand the story of Good King Wenceslas? Because I sure don't, and I've heard it twice now.

Kyle has been a lot more scandalous around the holidays. 

I have shopping/making presents done for everyone in my family and besties. Except Kate. She should be the easiest. But turns out she is the hardest. Seriously. 

I went to the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas concert this year. The guest narrator was John Rhys-Davies, he in Lord of the Rings and Indiana Jones. I had a hard time at parts thinking "This man has acted is some pretty great movies, Some of my favorites, and they ask him to come here and narrate this story about Dickens that is painfully corny and so overacted it hurt. He probably thinks all Mormons are this cheesy." I was painfully embarrassed for Mormons everywhere. 

When he recited luke 2 I was dying. He did such an amazing job! I think we should get him to read all the scriptures. I would download that version in a hurry! 

I am not feeling scroogy this year. Not one little bit. I normally struggle because it is one of the times I miss my mom the most. She was so good at Christmas. But Christmas isn't really about moms, it kind of is, it is about our Savior and I have been hanging out with him a lot lately. It has been real good. 

Updating Itunes, and My Life

I'm starting a new job at the beginning of the year. It is exciting, but I will miss my Sure-Loc family very much. I am also moving. And don't forget I got kicked out of the single ward this month. Oh and I am officially 30 pounds down from what I weighed in August! Yeah for me! So much change.

Thanks to my Kyles, my sister, and Cam my heart has been so calm through all of it. Seriously thanks guys.

Today for some strange reason I updated itunes. Turns out this update wasn't so bad. In fact I like it better. So why have I been clicking "update later" for so very, very long? Well because I don't like change. I don't like not knowing what is around the corner. What if I update itunes and I hate it? Then there is no going back. You have something new but you hate it.

I accepted this job and have struggled as the peaceful feeling of confirmation as still not come. I have turned to a few of you as I have struggled to obtain that feeling. The process of obtaining and accepting the job all went so smoothly and everything fell into place so well. It never felt wrong, but it has yet to feel right!

But today... oddly enough as I updated itunes, something whispered to me. This version is going to be better. Click update. You will like it.

I SWEAR I'm Not That Girl

But the other night I was one half of “that” couple.

Kyle and I went out to celebrate my new job! At some point in the evening, at the table, we were both on our phones. I realized it and looked up to say.

“Oh Kyle we are ‘that’ couple right now."

 “I said that to you about two minutes ago and you didn't even respond to me.”

“Oh.”

Later we walked around Station Park… If I had the money I totally would have bought one of those 10 pound Reese’s cup for the movie we went to later. We were walking back to the car and I stopped to use the facilities. Ten minutes later I walk back out to see Kyle patiently waiting for me in the hallway.

“I’m not going to lie. I got distracted on my phone.”

“Awkard.”
