M.I.A

I have been caught in quite a blunder today. I got to work today to realize that I forgot my phone which is my time passer here when I am bored. Then my next thought was I didn't bring a single thing to do. Therefore you now will have a new post from me since my brain creatively thought that I should do this to pass this very slow work day. Anyway, you might say that I have been nowhere to be seen since well.... my last update. This is true I haven't even gotten on here to see if I received any wonderful comments from my loving followers... Which BTW I did find out that people did comment on my last post... sad, I know. My SIL started talking to me about this person's blog that I totally should have known about since she posted it on here, but low and behold I obviously had a puzzled look on my face whenst she was telling me about this so-called blog.... yeah I think she kinda thought that I was a blogging loser since I hadn't been on for... lets say a short while to make me feel better. Alright so what have we been up to lately.... Everything actually. We went to LP at the first of June, and had so much fun there. We took Kloee with us since we really didn't want to leave here with friends again. I think that she loved it a little too much (at times). We would put her little life jacket on her and she would go 'sploring' all over the little island that he first had the house boat docked. She loved chasing all the lizards into the water too. The weather there was perfect! Not too hot, and the water wasn't too cold. The only bad part was the trying to sleep at night when the wind was blowing. 3 of the 4 nights were O.K., but the second to last night was terrible, and Kloee let me know the entire night that she was "uncomfortable MOM!!". It was fine since I am such a light sleeper anyway I was awake the entire night with her. Any who, it was great to be with Brock's entire family (minus the Elder) and go on adventures with them. Pictures may come later... The end of June was a blast as well. We got Brock's mom and my dad the best birthday presents ever! (pictures coming in a few weeks) They loved them and so did the rest of both families. The 4th was filled with parades, fireworks and carnivals. FUN FUN FUN!!! Since the 4th was on Sunday this year we spent the night over at Brock's parents house so that we could get up and go to the parade in the morning. I have decided that I have issues sleeping if it's not my own bed or my own house. I didn't sleep very well, and consequently wasn't in the mood for the parade. I, being a good sport went anyway, and sat in my chair staring blankly into the parade. Oh well I heard that I didn't miss much. :) Well I believe that brings us up to the present day. Lets hope that I can keep these blogs to a minimum in the future. :)

What to do. What to do

So now that I am graduated I find myself sitting and pondering many things in my life. Brock catches me staring off into space, and I'm sure he thinks that I'm going crazy. I think a lot about how my life has "happened". Where things fall into place, and where I'm going next. These thoughts usually come and go a million miles an hours through my brain, and I even have a hard time keeping up sometimes. Brock tells me that he wouldn't want to be in my brain because he wouldn't know where to even begin to understand what is happening in it. ha ha oh well.
So as of right now I have been doing a lot of pondering on whether I should sign up to finish my other three classes for medical school, or wait to see if Brock finds a job out of state and we have to move. I really don't want to up and move in the middle of the semester, but that's all that I can think about when I want to register for classes next semester. Oh well I guess I'll still have to ponder on that one.
I also have been spending a lot of time reading books that don't have to do with anything medical of chemical. This has been nice. I had no idea that there were so many good books out there ;).
Well back to pondering....

Graduation, Mother's Day, Plain ole fun!

So these past few days have been a blast. Thursday (my first day of my seven off) I went shopping with my pals and my sister. Then afterwards
we went to my sister's new house and made our spring wreaths. I think I was still a little tired because I couldn't think of what else it needed and spent many hours standing in the middle of Ben Franklin's not seeing what it needed. I tried ribbon, bird nests, dragon flies, more flowers, and they all looked weird in it.
Oh well, I'm already thinking about my next project of painting my kitchen cuppords. Anyone have any great ideas on what good colors to use
Anyway, as for Thursday I'm so glad that I was able to spend the whole day with my sister and nephews! Here's some of my previous projects:
Saturday I spent the first half of the day (well a couple of hours) at my best friend's graduation. It was great to see her and her family. I gave her the present that I have been working on for over FOUR months. Europe Trip The rest of the day we spent together going shopping for little nicknack things.
Sunday was a great day too. Brock bought me two wonderful books, and my kids bought me some treats. We went over to my parents house first, and it was fun to see my nephew Braunson. We took Kloee over there too, and B kept giving her kisses. It was very cute. Then we went over to Brock parents house, and had dinner and visited 'til both the brothers called. We talked to Brock's brother, Elder Cordingley, first. All he could talk about is how he wanted to come home to me being pregnant. It was really funny. Then we talked to my little brother Elder Simmons, and he talked about the exact opposite and doesn't want me to have a baby for a very long time. Oh well, we'll have to see what happens. It was really good to talk to both brothers and listen to how much fun they are having. We can't wait to see Elder Cordingley in October. It'll be great when all the families are back together.
As far as today goes I have spent reading and studying for my boards. Mostly reading though :)... I read the short book that just came out by Dieter F. Uchtdorf . It's a short, but good read.
All in all it's been a great few days.

Well this is new...

Hello all,
So since I am new to this, it's going to take me a little bit to get the hang of it all. I thought that since I am graduated I would try and occupy my time so that I don't go crazy not having anything to do. Although, I am still needing to study for my boards I still feel like I have so much time on my hands. It is kind of nice to have time because now I can really clean my house and be a wife again. I'm sure I was missed since Brock had to play house wife more often than he would have liked since I was working full time as well as going to school full time. So now that I have cleaned my house and have thought of so many new things that I want to do to decorate my little house I need something else to occupy me so that I don't go shopping for many unnecessary crafts. I guess all I need now to get all of my ideas accomplished is to find a money tree.
When I was creating this I thought that the name that I would choose to sign out all of our blogs was Baby Freklz n' Zubu. Now to explain where these came from. Ever since Brock and I met he has liked my little freckles that sprinkle my nose, and gave me the name of Baby Freklz. He decided to put a twist on the spelling because he likes to be different. Now Zubu is another story... Brock has had this nickname ever since high school. No body really gave it to him, and it was just thought up one day by him. He likes it, and it's very unique that he uses it for everything because no body has ever had anything even similar to it.
So about us... We have two kids Foenix, and Kloee. One is fat, furry and meows, and the other is little furry and has a squished nose. We love our babies since they are our babies for now. Dad doesn't want to admit it, but he loves his little girl and spoils her rotten... Oh boy can you imagine what he will be like when we have a daughter?!?
Brock and I have been married a little over two years, and it's gone by so fast. We both feel like that we just barely got married, but at the same time have known each other forever! It's crazy! We have a little condo we bought when we first got married in South Ogden, and it's perfect for us.
How we met:
People ask us all the time how we met so lets get that out of the way right now... We met in our Chemistry class. Yes, save the comments now because we have heard all the chemistry jokes. At the first of the semester Brock thought that I was a old married maid, but after we started studying together he found out otherwise. I was dating someone else at the time, but I knew that after I met Brock that I was supposed to be with him even though this other guy was talking marriage. Soon after we started dating we found out that we are almost the same person, and we love all of the same things. Brock proposed to me after spending an amazing summer together, and we were married January 12 of the next year in the beautiful Bountiful temple.
A little history about us:
Brock and I both went to Northridge High school just graduating a few (5) years apart from each other. Brock "loves" to talk about how when he graduated from high school I was still in elementary school. He went on a mission to Mendoza, Argentina speaking spanish. He loves to randomly blurt our spanish words, and ask me questions in spanish... I think he gets a kick out of it because I don't know what he is saying. After high school, for me, I spent a year down in St. George playing volleyball, and living away from home.
Brock is currently looking for a job in forensics in any state that will take him. I am behind him all the way and love the idea of an adventure of living outside of Utah. We decided last spring that I would hurry up and get my degree in Clinical Laboratory Sciences just in case Brock got a job before I could finish all of my pre-medicine courses required for medical school. We decided that since I already went through the credit transferring nightmare that it would be better to transfer a degree, and finish the other courses at a university where we end up. So now that I have my degree I wait patiently for the job to come for Brock.
So now my plans while I wait include a lot of craft time, remodeling our bathroom and refinishing our cabinets, learning how to golf, and lots of play time with friends and family.
So that's us in a LARGE nutshell.
