10 Things...

1. Me = Highly unmotivated this semester. (Zero idea what I really want to do with my life career wise.)

2. I'm gonna apply for an online job this week, I swear.

3. I will shamelessly stuff my face on Thursday, & Friday. (Leftovers)

4. Me = Crazy baby hungry. Must hold all babies.

5. I want this job so I can get unnecessary things like Mac make-up, eyelash extensions and a tanning package.

6. Trent wants babies too, he just doesn't want me to go into labor during my final, finals.

7. I miss the sun, I miss the heat, I miss the ocean, I miss the desert, I miss palm trees, I miss weather over 50, I miss a sun warmed car, I miss flip flops, I miss no jackets.

8. My abs are pretty flat right now. Except for when I sit or wear clothes.

9. Been hustlin' all kinds of deals lately, free trim (hair) for me & Trent, cheap food, free toilet paper... you get creative in college.

10. Realized today that any man who is willing to get stuck in the arm with a capri-sun straw sized needle, twice a week, for three years, just for $50 bucks to pay for the basics, is a real man. And he loves me. (He gives plasma!)

Chillin...

As I've probably mentioned before, Trent can fall asleep anywhere.

Right now, after a long week, we are both lying on the floor in our office. Me watching my brainless but kinda awesome girly shows, (vampire diaries, gossip girl, etc) and Trent lying next to me snoring away!

If he lies down long enough this is what happens, and I have always been jealous of it! All we did was watch an episode of The Big Bang Theory and he was out! His snores give me the chills because they wake me up at night. I hear the deep breathing getting louder and louder and I start getting really anxious! I usually shake the bed or shove him a little and he stops. Sometimes it will kind of wake him up and he will give me one of his famous Trent Quotes.

Well, this was super random, but he's cute. The end.

Beth y Colton

Remember how I posted that I am available for graphic design work to expand my portfolio?

Well my cousin recently got married and gave me the opportunity to design her invites!

(And may I say that when I received them I was relieved to see she picked something good to print the design on?!? Not that I thought she wouldn't; Beth has impeccable taste!)

Stars & Stripes

In the past few years my style has changed a ton. I still want to be able to just throw something on but I am beyond thick skate shirts. Now I want to be ready quick and comfortable but still look nice. I have been loving Zara lately because it's just simple and beautiful. You can look put together with only a few pieces.

...OUR PETS HEADS ARE FALLIN OFF!!!

(thats what Trent and I say when life kinda stinks but there's nothing to do but laugh about it)

So I'm sittin here on the verge of insanity, (bit melodramatic...) icing my shin splints and doing my homework, feeling lethargic and sorry for myself, when I decided that's just not okay.

I really am a generally happy person and can only stand so much moping around, even from myself. (But I do firmly believe some moping is called for before moving on from some things...know what I mean?) 

So I decided to stop it. It's been a dang week and instead of just thinking about all of my short comings as a wife, friend, scholar, creative person, etc. I can't let that weigh me down and going forward I can do better. Sure, my feelings were real, but that is not a good reason to not be different going forward. 

One of my pet-peeves is when people let the past determine their future and let life just happen to them. It's such a negative outlook. You may not be happy with everything in your life at the moment, but life is constantly changing and so are you. It won't last forever, the sun will come up tomorrow, you are the master of your fate, etc. etc. etc. If you don't like something, change it. Easier said than done but I can't very well complain, (for toooo long,) about something I'm not willing to do anything about. I can create my own options and my own destiny. I believe in choices, like Dumbledore said, it's our choices that define us, not our abilities.  

Well, I'm going to mull over my own advice; here are some pictures from the last couple months!

 

On his b-day, he is my cuddly teddy bear!

 

 Sasha and Gordo came up to see us and went to the fair with us!

Also I ganked this from the talented duo that is Ryley and Chelse!

Anndd, I really like this picture of me. I was having a great hair night!

 Bridge jumping, it was COLD!!! and I love Sasha's indian dance in the back!

well sir...

School is kickin my trash.

I don't have time for anything but homework or the Biggest Winner program, (which I barely have time for). 

I don't have time to watch my favorite shows.

I don't have time to shower.

I don't have time to call my favorite people.

I don't have time to get over my cold.

Yes, I am whining.

Yes, I will get over it.

And in true girl fashion, now that I have vented I will feel better.

Birthdays!!

Trent and I are exactly 9 months apart...which if you do the math...(we did, it was unpleasant to think about but it had to be done) means that I was conceived either the day or day after he was born. I like to think that we were up in heaven and Heavenly Father was like, "Well, Trent's there now, Kenzie better get goin!" and then I came barreling down like a fighter jet. 

My B-day was exactly what I wanted. Some time for just me and Trent, decorations all over the house, presents, and a birthday longboarding session.

Trent's was exactly what he wanted too! No party, because he doesn't like being the center of attention, plenty of me and him time, tea, potstickers, the mall, and Red Robin. He just wanted a day to hang out with me! (I know.. I am the best present.)

So here's some pics from our respective birthdays.

one footed race!

Trentyloo LOVES spicy things!

Bubble tea! It's big tapioca thingys.

One of the romance novels we found in the thrift store. We bought a whole bunch and put them on the nightstand for our guests.... hahahahaha!
