bunking up with the parents!

SOOOOO I live with my parents! That is right I have not lived with them since I was 18 years old. So why am I back under there roof?

Well I HATED where I was living. I loved my roommate Tess who seriously is one of my BEST friends in the world now, but after she left I decided I needed to get out of there. I don't know if you remember the story about my land lord from before? with the mice? He is a REAL winner... Let me tell you...

I wanted to get out of my contract and move home for the summer. My little brother Nato gets home from his mission in one month so I decided it would be fun if we lived together. My parents were nice enough to let me move in to there BRAND new house. I LOVE it!

So back to my contract... My landlord said I needed to sale it which I was not surprised I was expecting that. Well I figured out that my landlord was breaking the law. According to Zonging Guidelines in Utah there can only be three unrelated people living in a house at one time. Since there were five of us he was breaking the Zoning Guidelines. So I asked him if I could get out of my contract. After he "talked to his lawyer" he told me I could get a total refund and could be out of the contract.

So today I moved in with my parents! I LOVE it! I am living in the apartment in the basement. PERFECT for me!

Thanks mom and dad for being my new roommates! LOVE YOU!

Amy J... Oh i mean I !

Amy Lyn Jensen became Amy Lyn Jensen Ivins on Tuesday! I LOVE her so much! Seriously I am so lucky to have Amy as a best friend. Christian is ONE lucky lucky boy! Love Mr. and Mrs. Ivins!

DEALS!

Like I said Deals... They just find me... I can't really help it. :)

So Thursday night Tess and I went to dinner with the cute Burton girls (minus Mandi... Missed you lots) that were in town.

Before dinner we were waiting for Tess to finish her final that she got a 97% on.... YES my roommate is an honors student. She is SO smart. We went to Macey's and Whitney pointed out this really cute dress. I looked at it and thought "that has to be mine!" I tried it on and LOVED it! I looked at the price tag... $89.98... Remember this about me people... I don't buy things unless they are on sale. Deb Burton had a 25% off coupon so in my head... "Good I am getting a deal."

Went up to the register and the coupon didn't work on this dress for some reason...

Thought process... "Emo you are an adult now who has to wear nice clothes to work everyday... you should probably start buying things that will last a long time... not just anything anymore..."

So I bought it... when I was walking out I thought to myself... "you are a better shopper than to pay FULL PRICE for something...." BUT I loved it! :)

WELL.... Today I came to my parents house to sew the slit up because it was way to high when I sit down... My mom wanted to go shopping so I decided to go with and sew after. We went to TJMAXX... I thought "I will just look at the dress to see if I like anything..."

GUESS WHAT I FOUND STARING ME STRAIGHT IN THE FACE??????????

The SAME EXACT DRESS that I had bought at Macey two nights previous???

LOOKED AT THE PRICE TAG??????????????

$29.99

I KNEW I WAS A BETTER SHOPPER THAN TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR SOMETHING. I got three new dress for 63 dollars... TOOK THE 89.98 dollar dress back... SAVE about 30 dollars...

THANK YOU MOM FOR TEACHING ME TO NEVER PAY FULL PRICE FOR SOMETHING????

I guess I learned my lesson!

XOXO

HAPPY NAILS!!!

Ever since I was a little girl I have ALWAYS liked to have my nails done. It is the weirdest habit I have. (well maybe not the weirdest) I just love the look of fake nails. I don't have pretty nails so the fake nails make me feel like they are pretty. I just love the look of them.

In college I use to get them done once in a while, when I was sad or for something special. But now that I have a real job I get them done all the time.

In Logan the place I use to get my nails done at was called HAPPY NAILS. My sisters and I always talk about my "happy nails" they say it brings me happiness. I think they are right. I seriously just love them.

For my wedding I want everyone to have HAPPY NAILS... Including my sister MJ who has never gotten fake nails before. She will for me!!!

HAPPY NAILS!!!

Just a random thought I was having today.

Chicago... It's me EMO!!!

Last weekend my parents, two sisters, and I experienced the "windy city" and boy was it WINDY. Chicago is like New York City meet Washington DC. I LOVED it!

My parents and I flew out at 8:50 Friday morning. We checked into our hotel and went down to the pier. It was a BEAUTIFUL day in Chicago and I was so lucky to be there with my parents.

That night we watched Blind Side in our room. LOVE that movie. KA got in that night and met us for ice cream.

Saturday morning my dad had meeting so KA, My Mom, and I went to the top of the Sears building. Fifth tallest building in the world. VERY cool to see out all over Chicago.

On the top of the building they have this ALL glass look out. It was SO scary. but we did it...

We shortly found ourselves at H&M. We found great deals, of course.

We went to an amazing pizza place for Chicago pizza----- I forgot what the place was called, but it was GOOD!!! :)

We met up with my dad and went to rent bikes. This is one of my VERY FAVORITE things to do in big cities. We rode for an hour.

Saturday night we went to dinner with the school board. WE love them. MJ met us that night (she came later because she was at a wedding.) We went to the Cheesecake Factory and I think I found my new favorite dish. I LOVE that place.

Across the street was the American Girl Doll store--- We were little girls again. I remember how much I loved my sweet little Kristen. She was my best friend for years. I love that store. I can't believe they are still VERY popular.

Sunday morning we went to church. After I met up with one of my VERY best friends I met in Florida. I have not seen her since we left. It is amazing to me that even though it has been a year and a half, we just picked up right where we left off. I love my little sissy! We went to lunch.

Sunday afternoon we went to the "Sundae Sunday." The Utah schools get together for Sundae on Sunday afternoon. Great ice cream and great company. I love the people my dad has the chance to work with.

We took our time walking back and just enjoyed the city! I loved it!

Monday morning we went back to H&M. We went on a hour long boat tour of the city learning about all the buildings. The reason I loved it.... Remember the movie My Best Friends wedding (my favorite movie) it is filmed in Chicago. They ride on the boat, MY FAVORITE SCENE of the WHOLE MOVIE!!! we were on that boat... I would like to think it is the very same one! :)

We flew out later that afternoon. I of course cried leaving my two sisters. I miss them so much.

Thanks for the amazing weekend Mom and Dad. You're the best!
