Oh heeeeeyy...

I feel like I should re introduce myself its been so long. I get those thoughts that I should write a blog.. one day I'll enjoy reading it.. but as we all know. that takes time and energy, and lets be honest.. there are just TOOO many TV shows to watch. :)

Things have been super fly for Collin and I. We have been uber blessed to be able to travel around a little bit. Its almost kind of ridiculous. But it is nice while we can. We were able to head to Hawaii, which was an amazing trip. We visited some friends of ours and holy nice having a free place to stay! WHAT WHAT! All those that know Kelly and Dave and DIDN'T take them up on the offer to stay... shame.

I was all drugged up on Dramamine (sp) the whole time, so that was rather enjoyable. Last time I was in Hawaii I got so car sick from the roads that I wasn't taking any chances this time. Although, down fall, I feel like I fell asleep every car ride and always the first to bed.. snooooze, what am I, 80?! Its terrible.. But I had no trouble staying up late when we got back with that 3 hour time difference. But waking up at 5:30am (2:30am Hawaii Time) for work,  I was like a walking nightmare. I could of been an extra on the walking dead, and probably looked like it. yikes!

Anyway... Hawaii was beautiful. It's fun traveling with Collin, although I'm sure I drive him nuts half the time, I can be so bossy, but we have some great memories... but probably done traveling for a little while.... possibly.. who knows.

I told Collin the other day.. 'It will be so nice to just be done and get into a routine." To which he responded, "we HAVE a routine.. you watch TV, I look up cars on craigslist, we go to bed.. then we do it all over again." To which I wanted to go in a corner and cry, when did my life become so boring.. and when did I enjoy my boring life so much!? Tell me we aren't the only married couple like this?! I remember what feels like yesterday, feeling so ansy if I wasn't doing anything.. socializing was FUN. Now when my husband mentions going out with some people, you'd think he would be asking me to pull my toenails out. Don't even get my started with having to actually PUT make-up on! It was rough in the first place... not to mention shaving my legs.. no thank you, I'm the lady wearing jeans and long skirts all summer. anyway...

Other then that.. life has been keeping us both really bust. Collin has really anjoyed being in the Clinic so far this year. He gets all excited to tell me about it.. but acts cool like its no big deal. Hes great like that. And I like it... since he doesn't spend alllll night studying!

Work for me is well.. just busy busy. It's nice having a place you enjoy working at.

Anyway... Its almost 8:00 so defiantly time to start getting ready for bed :).

Blog Topics

There are so many times throughout the day when I think of something, and I then tell myself, "that would make a good blog topic." But chances are... and by chances I mean...this moment right now, when I get to actually writing the blog, I totally forget every one of those topics. Usually they are going to be less topics and more rantings about how girls wear underwear in public but call them shorts, or how rude and disrespectful anyone under the age of 18 is now, how out of shape I am, how being married is, why we are all addicted to Barro's Pizza...... or how apparently people with the most money always want everything for free.

Let me explain that last one.. I work at a place where our average guest (I work at a resort) is an American Express Centurion card holder. If you aren't quite sure what that is... its a black indestructible American express card, and you make big bucks if you have one. For example.. the owners of Johnson & Johnson who were in a couple weeks ago.. the owners of all things baby, they have one, their son has one.. their dog walker probably has one. They flash around their black American Express cards like its no big deal. With that being said.. these types of people... ALWAYS want stuff for FREE! No wonder the rich stay rich... they don't actually have to pay for anything! I am a reservations agent for a resort here in Arizona that caters to the rich and famous. Literally... if you are rich and famous.. chances are I will be seeing you lounging around the pool at lunch time. The people that don't even bat an eye when you tell them their 3 night stay is going to be $2,000, or if they prefer one of our private homes it will be $3,000 a night... which they stay for a week or so... We have many people call, I've talked to them all. I need to start blogging more of my stories from the rich and famous.

 Typical conversation

Me: "my greeting."
Guy: Hello there! I am in town for the NFL owners meeting and my good friend Larry Fitzgerald said I had to come eat at your restaurant while I was in town.
(I also take reservations for our restaurant on property)
Me: Absolutely! what time were you looking for?
blah blah blah
I get his name... I google said guy.. hes the vice president of operations for.. falcons.. ravens.. something that flies.

No.Big.Deal.

Hes an example of a nice guy. Which there are many.. there are so many NICE people.. but some.. not so nice... some are rude...and some,  they just want everything.. and they want it all for freeeeeeeee!

Next time someone asks for something free, I am gonna tell them to give me something! its only fair..

Anyway, Just a little tid bit about the job that consumes my everyday life.

So Collin and I are trying to eat healthy. Today was day 1... We were also going to start Insanity, that work out that's apparently Insane. We got all the disc from the sis to start our cute little 60 day funness working out healthy eating thing.

Problem #1... we still have ice cream IN the freezer.
Problem #2... I played volleyball for 8 hours yesterday with my sisters competitive adult volleyball team and today I felt like a mix of a 90 year old woman and like I walked around with 78 extra lbs on my back yesterday.. even my fingers hurt while typing this.... (obviously this is only further proving I need to start working out because I am THAT out of shape).

So, needless to say... Collin had a great fitness test, while I cheered him on limping around the kitchen making a "healthy"dinner.

So day 1... not as successful as I would of liked. On the plus side.... the ice cream is THAT much closer to being totally finished. I might be sore for one more day.


Peace out Girl Scouts.

Some Adventure and an Update

Well hello there blogger world.

Sometimes I hate the fact that I really like that song from the Breaking Dawn movie.. (commercial just came on). Back to it....

Collin and I just got back from New York. What a wonderful time... probably would of been a little better if every so often I wouldn't have told Collin I was sick of walking like it was his personal fault my feet were hurting....... although it sort of is, but that's besides the point. The point is, we did a lot of walking. We did a lot of stuff in general. Collin and I had some of the best pizza in 'meria (America). People keep asking what the best part of the trip was.. I would have to say probably the first couple hours we were there. There is really nothing like New York, I've lived in Berlin, been to San Francisco but there is nothing like Standing in Time Square at 6:00am. Everything we did was a wonderful experience... And ever since seeing Lion King on Broadway every moment when I'm not talking or thinking of something This song pops in my head.. That very beginnning part with the chats...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=337-X4msyFY

Its a wonderful song... It's probably popped in my head because for the last 2 days it is all I have listened too, but today I didn't even listen too... but still there it is..."he lives in you!"... It's all I hear....... That show was amazing by the way. I can't imagine ANYWAY not liking it.

Which leads me to my next topic. I'm sure you were wondering why I didn't listen to that song today. It is a valid questions...That's because I obviously need to get ready for the fact that in 3 days I will be staring Celine Dion in 'her face. I've loved Celine for as long as I can remember. I have wonderful memories with listening to her CD by myself and with friends, but mostly by myself.. in my car, because that's when i can sing the loudest. I sound JUST like her. I have found friends with this common interest... and finally we are able to band together, some funds and make the trek to Vegas to see her Majesty live. I can't wait.... and yes... I'll most likely shed a tear, or 67. whatev's.

Anywhooooo.... have I mentioned living with a boy is difficult? This boy seems to rinse out a dish then set it on the counter right above the dishwasher.. because obviously opening the dishwasher is strenuous. The best is the other day as I am making dinner, putting groceries away, doing the laundry and walking back and forth cleaning the house and my wonderful hard working husband (who just told me he doesn't even have to go to class anymore) was sitting on the sofa watching TV and playing something on this phone. The part that makes me smile.... I walked by him and for a brief moment we made eye contact.. and for anyone that is married knows that eye contact you make when your husband knows he should probably get his cute butt off the sofa... and sure enough I get an instant "Oh Katie I love you so much!" in that playful tone and he walks over to give me that hug...

I love it...

and also.. we have cute matching tooth brushes now. MONEY.
