My New Jeans.

Today I did something terrible..

I bought a new pair of jeans..

A new pair of jeans that were.... $82...

After my purchase I was very nervous to tell Jerrin about it. (we are on a budget here!)

I went home and immediately got to work.

Laundry, dishes, cleaning, cleaning, and more cleaning! Everything looked perfect for when Jerrin got home.

When he got home I was so nervous. Just waiting for the right time to tell him.

"Oh hi babe!" I said as he walked through the door.
"Hey."
"You look sooo good today!"
"Thanks."
"Look I cleaned! Washed the dishes, got some laundry done, and even made our bed!"
"Oh. Looks nice." he smiled.

The guilt was setting in! I couldn't keep it in any longer, but I did. For about another two hours!

The conversation started out like this...

"So....babe...." I said nervously.
"Yeah?"
"You love me right?"
"Yes. haha"
"How much?"
"A whole lot!"
"Okay good. Would you still love me if I tell you one of my secrets?" I had him listening now.
"Umm. Yeah."
"Okay... Well I bought something today....and....it....waskindofexpensive..."
"What was it?"
"Well just guess." I said.
"Umm. A new phone? Laptop? Ipad? Ipod?"
"No. Keep guessing."
"Shoes? Pants?"
"Yeah...Pants..."
"How much were they?"
"Ummm... $82.."
"Oh WOW." he said, "Those pants better wipe my butt and change themselves when I pee my pants!"

All I could do was laugh!

Birthday Boy!

TODAY IS JERRINS BIRTHDAY!

But of course you cannot have a birthday with out a

BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!

Jerrins birthday weekend started on Friday. We finally got out of Price for a couple of days.

First we arrived at our hotel. And let me tell you, if you need a hotel to stay La Quinta Inn and Suites is THE place! Very nice. Then it was time for shopping!

New shoes. Check.

New pants. Check.

New shirts. Check!

After all that shopping we were hungry and tired so we went out to eat then back to the hotel.

Saturday was the BEST day! 

First we went and had lunch at Chilies. Our new favorite restaurant. It was so yummy!

Then we went ice skating with fam and friends.

 

Then! The surprise came!!!!

Happy early birthday!

Then later that night.

The game was awesome!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERRIN! I LOVE YOU!

Happy Half-Anniversary!

Jerrin and I have been married for....

SIX MONTHS!!!!

Crazy huh?

It feels like just yesterday that I agreed to be Mrs. Snook. (best day ever.)





I'm not an expert on marriage or anything and I was browsing the web one day and I came across a link http://blessedmommy.hubpages.com/hub/101ways2sayiloveyou-husband 101 Ways To Tell Your Husband I Love You. I read through this and decided to try a couple of these. I am going to tell you five of them that worked and five that didn't really work. For us anyways. haha.

Things that worked.

#5. Show appreciation.

Jerrin sometimes does the little things, he does the dishes, cleans the house, and makes our bed. Remember I said sometimes. But when he does I always make sure to say thanks and tell him it looks good.  Then he does it again.

#12. Don't expect him to read your mind.

Sometimes I get mad and when I do I don't really say much and kind of expect Jerrin to know exactly what is wrong. But I have realized that when I tell him what bothers me, thing get settled faster and there is no more hard feelings.

#13. Laugh Together.

Nuff Said.

#24. Say "I'm sorry."

I say things and I don't realize that they can be hurtful and after it comes out of my mouth everything takes a u-turn.  I'm not the kind of person who likes to admit that I am wrong but saying sorry is all I can do when I know that I have done something wrong. And it works. Jerrin is happy again.

#39. Worship together.

Doing everything that we know is right, brings us closer together.

 

NOW...

Things that didn't work.

#3. Start a hobby together.

Jerrin doesn't want to scrapbook or start a blog so I tried playing Call of Duty with him once but I ended up getting mad and losing. We will just stick to him playing xbox and me blogging.

#53. Let him win.

Never will I ever LET Jerrin win. I am too competitive. haha. Sorry Jerrin.

#60. Wake him up with kisses.

One day before work I decided to try this. I started kissing Jerrins face and continued kissing him and kissing him and kissing him. 45 seconds passed and I finally knew Jerrin was never going to wake up to kisses so I just shook him until he woke up.

#69. Eat an ice cream cone together.

So we didn't share a cone but we did share some fries once, and never again.  This is what happened. We poured them on a napkin and I said, "I am going to go get us a drink." And when I came back... the fries were ALL GONE. haha!

#75. Have a pillow fight.

I started a pillow fight the other day and in the end I lost. Jerrin just pinned me to the ground and tickled me until I yelled I GIVE UP!

There are many more that I tried but would be TMI for this blog. Some of them are really stupid so I didn't try them but who knows, maybe they will work for you.

Yup, we will forever be in love.

A.A.D.J.J.

Andy. Adri. Darren. Jerrin. Jazmin.

We like to make things.

Things that involve messes.

And things that involve Ginger.

And things that involve Bread.

And things that involve Houses.

Do you know what we like yet?!

GINGERBREAD HOUSES!

(Yes this is what we made if you are still lost.)

The Beginning.



We were short one house so Jerrin and I decided to make brownies.





Don't we look good?



This is hard work!



Happy Family.



Finished product!

It's all worth it.

I'm not a mother with kids or anything but I do babysit three awesome children that I would do anything for.

Today Sophie was very energetic and there was not a dull moment.  We went from room to room playing different games. First apples to apples, then Barbies, babies, tag, hide and seek, bendaroos, etc.  Seven hours of nonstop playing.

As we were searching Kid History on Youtube (she is only three and she shows me videos on Youtube. Shouldn't be the other way around?) She turned to me and gave me a huge hug and said,

"I love you."

Then finished it off with a kiss on the check.

In return I did he same thing and she just smiled.

There are always bad days on the job but this, this story right here, is why it's all worth it.

PLUS

I got my nails done today. Very happy.

FINALly

This week end was pretty fun.

Jerrin had his last final on Friday and do you know what that means??!! Jerrin and I can finally hang out. No more studying. No more reading. No more hanging out by myself.

MORE JERRIN TIME! (I always like that.)

Friday we celebrated with going out to dinner with some friends and watching HP Part Two.

Then on Saturday a couple of us went up to SLC to watch a Jazz scrimmage. It was first come first serve. Doors opened at 6, game started at 7, we arrived at 5. And can I just tell you... It. Was. Cold. Longest hour of my life. But totally worth it. I'm all about free stuff and they gave out plenty of that. Plus we got to sit on row 10ish. But most important.. We got to see the Jazz play! So awesome!

During the Rookie Dance-off.

Last but not least it was Jerrins nieces birthday! She is a cutie! Watching her open presents and being on the top of the world because it was her day was the best!

All in all... It was a good week end.

The Shot.

Today Sophie and I had to go to a Health Clinic because two days ago I got a TB shot so I had to get it checked. When I went in the nurse gave me a bunch of paper work to fill out with a lot of pointless questions.

Do you have high blood pressure?
...cancer?
...diabetes?
...gonorrhea?
...syphilis?

Really? I just came here for them to tell me that my TB shot looks fine and I can go home. Oh no. They want to know all about your personal life. More questions.

How much do you make?
Where do you live?
When is your birthday?

After I was done with the stupid questionnaire they knew everything about my life. EVERYTHING!
Finally the nurse came into the waiting room and told me to pull my sleeve up. He face quickly turned to horror. I felt my stomach drop and said,
"Am I okay?!"
"You are going to have to come in the back with me."
I followed her to the back and did everything she said exactly.

"In this room. Sit down. Pull your sleeve up." she said.
I pulled it up very quickly.
"Oh... Well when was your last TB shot?"
"2006." I said.
"Was it positive?"
"No." I said quickly.
"Well it's not that swollen."
"So I am good?"
"Yes. You can go." She smiled.

My face quickly lite up, and I was out of that room faster than you could say Tuberculosis!
I went to the front so they could charge me for 5min out of their 24 hour day. The lady up front said,
"We. are. going. to. need. a. pay. check. stub. so. we. know. you. are. not. lying."
(Yes I checked that I can speak and understand spanish BUT I also checked ENGLISH!)
"Okay. But I get paid with just checks, like a personal check, so I don't have stubs."
"Yes. you. can. pay. us. with. a. check."
"Wait, what?"
I thought I had made myself pretty clear, but I guess not.
"Do. you. have. a. bank. account?" she asked.
"Yes."
"Go. there. and. see. if. you. have. enough. money. and. then. make. a. check. payable. to. this. clinic."
"But my problem is that I don't have stubs.... You know what. Never mind. Thanks."
Then I walked out.
I walked out with Sophie and said,
"I think that lady thought I was stupid."
"Jazmin, don't say that word."
"Sorry. haha." 
"It's okay." She said with a smile.
 Then we went home.



Negative.
