Pedometer

Okay so Amy came to work yesterday with a pedometer on... I thought to myself (and later told her) Why are you wearing that? They are not even accurate...

We had our weekly HR meeting and she was telling us about "how many steps she had taken." Karlyn (our boss) said "I think we have some those in the back?"

After the meeting she brought one out to me. Amy was SO mad that I was making fun of it them Karlyn just gave me one...

I had to apologizes to Amy because I LOVE this thing. It is amazing how many steps I walk... or don't walk... sometimes I will be sitting here thinking when is the last time I even got out of this chair.

I still don't know how accurate it is but I don't really care I LOVE it! Amy and I will make bets on how many steps away something is. They are great! The recommended steps a day is 10,000... I don't know how anyone makes it too 10,000. I made it to 6,721 and was SO happy. Yesterday only 3,612. I need to step up my game.

I will keep you informed.

P90X

Tess and I have been getting up every morning at 5:15 to work out with Dave and the boys/ always one girl... well sometimes there is two... like this morning. P90X has been SO great. I am not noticing a difference yet and I really don't think I will because my body is kinda weird, but I have LOVED getting up in the morning to workout. It changes my whole day.

I didn't think I would be this way but when I get home from work the last thing I want to do is workout. I was doing that for the first couple weeks and it just wasn't working so well. So Tess and I decided to start waking up and working out. I swear I am in a better mood throughout the day. Things don't really tempt me as much to eat. (Well Ashley Taylor does, but she will never get me:) I have really liked it. I don't know what I didn't do this before.

P90X is such a great workout. I have really enjoyed doing it thus far. I hope I can continue!!!

Twin Falls Idaho!

I ALWAYS love Twin Falls when I go visit and this time was no exception. I went up to visit my best friend Chelsea. I left on Friday afternoon about 1:30. I got off work super early because I was over hours... It was great. I got up there around 5, the drive wasn't to bad... long by myself but it was good personal time! You know EMO time. We just hung out, went to Target and of course I found something I love. We went to a mexican food resturant that everyone loves in Twin... I just forgot the name but it was really good. Ash Hall met up with us, she was in town for a wedding, it is always good to see her. I miss the three of us living together. After dinner we went to see Dear John. I didn't love it. I mean it was okay but I would only red box it. Not worth 8 dollars... (well chels paid two so the six dollars). Randi came with us as well, she was in Twin for the same wedding. She is always so great to be around.

The next morning we got up and worked out at CSI. They have a great workout room. Lynn and Steve (Chels parents) came with. We went to the canyon after, my VERY FAVORITE part of Twin Falls. Seriously one of the prettiest things I have ever seen. I love it! We later when to see Randi's parents house they are building. It is going to be BEAUTIFUL. I can't wait to see it when it is done. We came home and got ready. Chelsea made me go to a wedding reception. Someone she went to High School with. I am glad we only stopped by. I felt really stupid. But I got over it really quick.

The UTAH STATE game was on TV so ofcourse us alumni watched in support. We dressed the part.... ofcourse. GO AGGIES! They beat Nevada. I wish I could have been there. Tristan came over for the game. I love that girl! We made pizza and had treats.

Here are a few pics from the much needed Emo and Chels time:











Thank you IRONS for letting me stay for the weekend. I love you all!

MICE

There are MICE in my house....

Tess and I moved into our house about three weeks ago. I love living with Tess she is seriously the best. So I moved into a room that probably hasn't been cleaned for months... not the mention the bathroom. Anyways I moved in and cleaned my room up, stupidly thinking the house was clean just not my room. BOY was I WRONG.

Last weekend Tristan, Amy, and Chels were down. We got home from church and they were packing there stuff up when Tristan say very calming (which was weird) there is a mouse under your bed.... I FREAKED OUT. jumped on my bed and never wanted to get down. We looked to see if we could see it and nothing. I CALLED my landlord to report the problem. It had been reported before but now I needed to take more action. My landlord didn't answer and TEXT me back later. He said he would set more traps and we needed to be clean. I thought to myself, you need to have someone come in here and clean this whole place... Anyways that night my cousin, Stafford came over and looked under my bed to make sure nothing was there. I was good to sleep for that night.

Monday night I get home from work and Tess is screaming that the mouse is in her room. She had it trapped and was ready to catch it. I get in there for emotional support. I ran out to get a bag. I went into my room, moved my bean bag and there the mouse was.... I screamed. Tess came running to the rescue. Our ward friend was over for the first time (what a great first impression) she was helping out as well. The mouse went under my bed again. We looked for it and couldn't be found.

I started to vacuum to make our house a little cleaner. I went into my room and the mouse ran to my closet. We had him trapped. He get caught in a little shelf. Tess got a bag and he ran into it. We got him. We ran down the street about ten houses and let him free.

I CALLED the landlord to update the problem...TEXT back.....

Wednesday night I went and got my moms carpet cleaner. I was sick of being in this mess. We started to clean. Our other roommate had warned us of another mouse but we didn't know where it was. Our house is four floors, so I started in the basement on the bottom level. I moved the beanbag and two more mice were dead. We cleaned them up and I started to vacuum again right when I started, a LIVE mouse ran across the floor....

I SCREAMED.... Tess to the rescue. We had him cornered and he ran into the bag again. This time he wasn't getting away. We sadly ran him over with the car. Good thing I believe in Heaven because I know that is where he is going.

I CALLED the landlord once again to report the problem... TEXT back. Do people not know in the world that when someone calls they want a phone call back? especially when there is a problem? I don't get it. We got in a stupid argument over text message. I told him next time just call me back and we won't have things get lost in communication. THROUGH TEXT MESSAGE.

I will admit... I LOVE TEXT MESSAGE. I think it is a great way to stay in touch with friends... but when you need to be a professional with someone... CALL THEM back...

I will keep you updated on the whole mouse situation. Hopefully it is being taken care of....

XOXO

PEEPS!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY PP!!!! Paige Laura Nelson Staples turns 23 today! I LOVE YOU Peeps. Welcome to the world of 23 year olds!!!

FLORIDA!!!

My picture perfect Florida life started two years ago today. I would be lying if I stay I didn't miss it. Ofcourse I love my job now, and I am getting use to living in Orem again. But man do I miss that magic. I know it sounds cheesey but I miss it. I didn't have a care in the world... a typical day for me and the princess was... get up around 10, go work out, lay by the pool, either walk somewhere for lunch, or eat lunch, go back to the pool, around 3 shower and get ready for work, go to work from 5-1. come home and do it all over again. It was GREAT! Most days went like this, we would just switch what pool we would lay out at. AHHHHHHHHHHH the life. I loved the people I met there! I love that I have friends all over the world. What a great day!!!

SMILE!!!

My mom showed this YOUTUBE video to me today... I thought to myself two things... you have a YOUTUBE video you want me to watch? you know what YOUTUBE is mom? and next you really want me to watch a YOUTUBE video that is 16 mins and 23 seconds? They have YOUTUBE videos that long? BUT I LOVED IT!!! This is how I feel EVERYONE should be in the world. You NEVER know the impact you can make on someone's life until you TELL THEM! Tell the people who have blessed your life... I mean they are important to you. Make sure they know it. I have always tried to live my life where people know how much I love them! Try and do the same... you might make someone smile!!!
