Give me a break?

I need a vacation. I just wanna get away for a week (with Alex of course) and forget the world. I know I don't have a full time job, or school, or even any kids yet, but I need a break from LIFE. I wanna go somewhere and have absolutely nothing to do, nothing to worry about, nobody to see, no alarm clock to wake up to. Even when we go down to AZ it's somewhat stressful. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE LOVE going back home and if I could I'd be there in a heartbeat, but even there I have to stress about seeing everyone on my list, going to all the places I need to go, setting my alarm so I don't oversleep and waste precious minutes of the day, making sure nobody feels left out. My life is bills, nooo money, one car, job searching for over a year with unsuccessful interviews, Alex's work sucking 100 miles each day out of our Jeep. I know you're all thinking oh "Waaah waah waahhh, that's life get use to it." or "Try having all that plus school and kids!" I know, I know... I'm being a big baby. But give me a break, I've only been married a year and a half, this is all still new to me. Life has kicked my booty since July 11th 2009. Lol.

I know I have soooo much to be thankful for, and I am. Believe me. I have a house to live in, food in the pantry (mainly pasta roni and hamburger helper. lol), and the cutest and cuddliest dog in the world! I have the gospel and a temple recommend, family and friends down in AZ who love me (and I think they even miss me a little too Ü), plus of course all of Alex's family here who do sooo much for us. I've met a couple amazing friends since I've been here (I know, crazy, people actually wanna be my friend?! lol). But most of all, through all theses trials and hardships and ups and downs, and all the caca that gets thrown my way, I have the most wonderful eternal companion in the whole entire universe by my side. We may have our stupid fights about me accelerating to quickly in the Jeep, or about him not checking his dang pockets before he puts his dirty clothes in the basket but there's nobody on earth I'd rather do that with than Alex Ü. So yes, I am VERY grateful for my life and everything I have.

But back to the negative part of this post, I need a vacation. Lol. You know how long it's been since I've been to Nashville?? My most favorite place on earth, and I miss it so much!! Or maybe go to Seaworld. Alex and I went there on our honeymoon, and I would KILL to go back. I love it there. So I decided to start a fund called, "Give Malisa and Alex your money so they can get away" fund. Brilliant right? Just donate today and you'll be greatly blessed. =) Thanks so much!

Ps, I promise I'm not a spoiled brat who isn't use to not getting her way (Maranda, don't even say anything), and I don't sit here and complain about my life all day, PROMISE. I just like to vent sometimes, and feel sorry for myself but then I get over it and life is good!

Pss, sometimes when I get sad or bored, I watch videos like these and they make me super happy. I love my child. =)

This is what Pebbles does EVERYDAY when Alex gets home from work. She misses her daddy Ü. BTW, please excuse the horrible mess in the room. This was our apartment like 3 days before we moved out and things are scattered EVERYWHERE.

This was Pebbles on my birthday last year. She is such a baby. lol. She doesn't really whine this good anymore when she hears sirens... I think it's cuz we did it so much so was like "Really? This again?" I felt bad every time we did it to her, but it's oh so funny?

Good day! Ü

I love bubbles!!!

I was frozen earlier. It's 34 degrees outside, which isn't really bad, but I felt like it was that cold in the house too. I could not for the life of me warm up. SO I decided to take a bath. Not just any bath, but a bubble bath. And I'm not talking little lame bubbles. I'm talking hard core, overflowing, foot high bubbles. I felt 5 years old. And best of all, I was one WARM 5 year old. Alex got pictures of just my neck and up and they're awesome. I voted against putting them up here tho, just cuz... idk... i'ts kinda weird. Even tho I'm completely covered my a foot of bubbles. ANYWAYS, I just thought I'd share the highlight of my day with ya'll. Although that won't be the highlight of my day for long because we are getting Subway for dinner and Chuck is on tonight. Wooohooo!!

Peace!

Sick & Stinky Dog

I'm sick. Alex is at work for 12 hours plus about 50 minutes of driving each way. I hate being sick by myself. I'd feel a little better if I could snuggle my Pebbles, but she stinks. Bad. And I'm too tired and sick to bathe her. So I make her lay in her bed and stare at me. It breaks my heart. Does someone wanna come bathe my dog so I can have something to snuggle while Alex is at work? I might even pay you if you're lucky enough (that's a lie. sorry). Thanks.

Ps, If I had a dollar for every time I've sneezed today, I'd be a millionaire. Ok, not exactly, but close enough.

Pss, Yesterday I swear we had record highs. It was almost 60 degrees (I think. I could be losing my mind. I'm not quite sure yet). Then.... last night we got a snow storm-ish. The wind was CRAZY and it snowed like a mother. Talk about a HUGE drop in temperature. Possibly the reason for my sickness? Not sure, but it sounds good enough to blame.

The end

Valentine's Day

Just curious as to what ya'll are doing for Valentine's Day? Anything super exciting? Any ideas you wanna give a poor married couple who can't spend much? Lol. The only thing I can think of is watching a chick flick. And I'm gonna make some pink fruit dip to eat during the movie, basically because I've been craving it and it's somewhat healthy too (the fruit anyways... not so much the dip. lol). I can't even think of anything to make for dinner that day. Who knows... maybe Alex is secretly planning something super awesome for us =). BUT... just in case he's not, I need a black up plan.

PS, thanks for all the fruit dip recipes! And Crystal, that fruit salsa stuff Michael made does sound good. Can I get the recipe? =)

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!!

Some Reasons

Here are 12 reasons why I want a baby...

1.) Just plain cute

2.) Cutest little man ever

3.) OH MY CUTE CHEEKS!

4.) Cute pie sneaker

5.) Cute sibling love

6.) What the kind of face is that?! Cuteness nonetheless.

7.) What cute little Asian doesn't look cute doing a karate pose?

8.) One of my all time favorite cuteness pic. I just love it.

9.) Why oh why is he raising his hand at a family get together? But who could do it cuter?!

10.) Cutest kid of all his little friends. =)

11.) He hates this picture... but what do I think....? CUTE baby teenager!

12.) Cutest Carolina Panther fan there ever will be!!

The whole point of this post is that I'm bored cuz Alex is playing his PS3 and I was going through old pictures and my husband is the cutest! AND.... I want a baby. And I want him to look and be just like Alex. =)

HELP!

Sooo....

I need a REALLY good fruit dip recipe. Do any of you readers have a good recipe you like to use or a secret family recipe or something that you could share?

Ps, I need it sometime before February 14th Ü.

And go!

My Man

I'm upstairs. We just moved into the house we'll be staying in for the next year. I'm paying countless bills online, figuring out how on earth we're gonna survive. Stress, stress, stress.

Hmmm.... Where's Alex...?

At the same instance I hear this movie playing downstairs....

Yes, Alex and I decided to get a Netflix account today. Within the first 20 minutes of getting it, The Princess and the Frog is the first movie he decides to watch.

We have no kids yet. Just Alex.

Just when I think we're finally growing up.... he does something like this.

He'll forever be a kid at heart...

...One of the MANY reasons I love my Alex.
