WHAT is in the water here?

It consists of something that causes marriage and nasty dishes.
How does that work?

There is always these nasty hard water stains, kind of like a nice coat of chalky film on my new dishes. Goes great with enchiladas. Yum.


We thought it was because we didn't have rinse aid. I bought rinse aid and guess what? Still chalky.

2 hours later, with a lot of scrubbing, all my dishes are clean. There has got to be an easier way.

Macey's Superman


I suppose you reach a point where "real life" hits ya.
That was today.

Jay and I went to the bank to add me to his account. When the nice lady asked how she could help us, I just said, "I would like to spend his money please"... mwah ha ha ha...
I now have all access to Jay's mula! When a girl has that, what do you think is the first thing that comes to mind?

SHOPPING!!! Yea baby!
So that's what I did...

For groceries.

First time grocery shopping for us by myself.
I prepared myself by picking five recipies from a cookbook and putting the ingredients on the list.

I got to Macey's and just stood there with my empty cart looking at my list and gazing in awe up at all the isles of food. Where to begin? I stared enviously at all the moms who just knew how to shop. Back and forth, my list, the moms, the isles, my list, the isles. I must have stood there for some time my head going in circles when suddenly a voice brought me out of my daze.

He introduced himself as "Superman" and said he was there to save me. Thank goodness for nice grocery store-workers!

3 hours later: my cart was full, my feet were aching and my mouth got wider and wider as I watched each item's price tick onto the check-out screen. I don't dare utter the final price.
What is Jay going to say?

I Love My Husband because

I knew that not-so-fun time of the month was coming.
When you feel your body collecting
excessive amounts of water in your tear ducts,
ready to burst at any moment.

Jay has one sister so I knew he must know something of girls and what happens each month, not to mention he dated me. Even so I explained that sometime in the next day or so I would probably be in tears and informed him not to be alarmed or worried about me. His response was awesome: His eyes got big and excited while he said,"Let's get a good movie to cry about, one that will probably make me cry and we will cry together while we eat some ice cream!"

So it's a date.
We are going to find a tear-jerker and cry with a little bit of ice cold sugar.

Married!


Ok, first blog ever. Weird because I always said I would make a blog when I got married someday, which means at this moment I am in a spot I always dreamed of but never actually pictured as a reality at this time in my life. But here I am! And I am so excited to begin my life with my wonderful man, my best friend, my love, Jay. (I'm already being too mushy huh?) Ya so my husband is awesome!


We were married March 13, 2010 in the Manti temple. We went on our honeymoon to Montana, where he is from originally, had a blast, came back for our reception, partied all night, and now we have begun the real life part.


We have been unpacking and it's crazy how much stuff I have! He has one stick of deoderant, I have five! No, not because I am more smelly- I'm a girl... remember girls are always less smelly? Ok good, well I have so many because I need one to go in each one of my purses that I grab on the way out the door, very practical I know. Point being for every one thing he has, I have five or seven!


We are living in Jay's parent's basement, which is awesome. It doesn't feel like a basement- it's huge! We have our own kitchen, bedroom and bathroom and a separate walk-in. We will take pictures and post them when we are all settled in. I am Married!! AHH! Everyday that sinks in a little more. Aubrey Jensen:)


I am excited for our adventures together! This is going to be fun.
