Two Glorious Years



I couldn't be happier. These last two years have been full of surprises and good times and bad but I feel so blessed to have Nate in my life. He's my best friend. He loves me unconditionally. He keeps me balanced. I trust him 100%. He is literally my favorite person. Love you Nate...always will.

Secret Pleasures

Tonight I've been thinking about all the weird things I love to do and see. Let's just say I'm not hard to please.

1- Sneaking full sized meals into a movie theatre
-True story. Me and Nate do this all the time. Tonight we went to a movie and enjoyed the delicious taste of Taco Bell. What all was in my purse? 2 tacos, 1 XXL burrito, 1 quesadilla, 2 32 oz. baja blasts. The couple next to us kept looking over every time we pulled something else out of my purse. Try it...you'll love it.

2- Watching awkward teenagers try to walk in high heels
-It's like watching a midget on stilts. They pick up their entire leg to take one step. Sometimes I secretly wish they would fall.

3- You might hate me for this but littering
-I know I know it's awful and I don't do it that much I promise. But there is something so thrilling to me about throwing stuff out my window while I drive. I
think I get it from my brother...we used to have contests of who could throw the most trash out at once.

4-Straight up people watching
-Texas is by far the best place for this...just go to the beach on Sunday or to any gym that teaches zumba. I'm always shocked at how shameless some people are.

I have more but I don't know if I can share them just yet. But if you have any secret pleasures of your own...please share. I could really use the entertainment:)

ITP and More

Anyone ever heard of ITP? Well I haven't and supposedly I have it. I guess I have a low platelet count ( blood cells that allow your blood to clot and help you to heal faster) My count is around 11,000 and normally they should be anywhere from 150,000 to 400,000 so yeah mine suck!That's why I've been getting mysterious bruises and red spots all up and down my legs...way weird and super annoying. But I will be seeing a doctor regularly now to try and regulate the number and get it higher. The only thing is I'm on this medication that is famous for making people gain weight and look chubby (like I don't already have that problem) I promise when the doc told me about the medicine I said these exact words "But I'm already chubby" ha ha I'm such a loser. But I couldn't ask for a better place to put on some extra pounds...Texas has no shame...I mean none. People never stop amazing me with their disgusting bikinis and short short shorts. So what the heck I might as well embrace it if I have to. I'm trying to be as positive as I can but this situation is pretty sucky. I'm moving around and seeing different doctors with the first name Shriham and Rishad...not so comforting. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

I'm not going to lie I'm pretty done with this whole summer thing. I got to come home and spend time with my family and Utah was like a dream come true. The weather, the 4th of July extravaganzas, seeing my fam was just what I needed but now I miss it more. I want nothing more than to be home right now. I just have to be patient...Only six more weeks!!!!

here's a couple pics from the 4th in Utah
gosh I love my family!
