Good thing dreams don't always come true...

I absolutely love being married! It's the greatest and most enjoyable adventure of my life!


For the most part, George and I have gotten used to our daily routines...all though they aren't quite consistent yet! Every morning, I wake George up and usually he acknowledges me with a grunt or pretends like he is already awake. But this morning he did something a little different!

Becky: George...it's time for you to get up!
George: *Annoyed grunt
Becky: (a little more firmly) George, you need to get up!
George: *Rolls over grumpily...obviously ignoring me
Becky: Laying there stunned thinking "he never ignores me!"(I was slightly offended by his reply!) *Shaking him now. George, you really need to get up, you're going to be late!
George: *Turns over. "You are so mean!" *Than rolls back over
Becky: (Dumbstruck and feeling horrible) "I'm sorry baby! I was just trying to wake you up on time...."

Finally he turned back over looking really sad and explained to me that he just had a dream that we were driving in the car and I was listing off all the things I hated about him!

Isn't it weird how emotions you have while dreaming roll over to real life? But it did encourage me to be a better wife and to make sure I tell my husband more things I love about him. I'd much rather him dream about how much his wife loves him than how much she hates him.


So George,

2009 in a nutshell!

Well,

A new year and DECADE is here again! 2009 just flew by!! I think it's probably because I spent the first 5 months of the year planning a wedding... and during those 5 months, I literally felt like I was in a time warp... it's kinda weird. But I thought I would do the same thing I did last year...I will share my top 10 experiences of 2009!!!

10. I officially became a SENIOR in College!! 18 more credits and I will be an edumicated girl!















9. My ADORABLE 2nd cousin was born. Pretty much the cutest little girl ever! Harmony Grace Lee!




























8. I turned 21! Chicka!



















7. I revolutionized my life and switched to a MAC. And I'm not going BAC!











6. I caught a fly ball at a raptors game! I stunned my dad and made him proud!!



















5. I ran my first 5k!















4. George and I made a non-profit organization called the Youth Legacy Mission for our Youth Kids! Hopefully 2010 will be a big year for them!










3. We ventured to the great Bryce Canyon!











2.went to Universal Studios















1. WE GOT MARRIED!!



















What a great year. Definitely some rough times... My grandma Lil passed away which has been so hard on my dad but it ultimately has brought us closer as a family which I am so grateful for! I think out of all the not too great things that has happened have left me a better person in the end. Regardless, I am looking forward to 2010 and what it has in store for us.... I am sad about a few things... Like I wont be able to be a youth leader for the next 5 months and I will gain a substantial amount of debt this year with my student loan AND a house. But on the bright side, I will be graduating, buying a house, and beginning my career! So, what's not to be excited about?!

2010, here we come!

"Hi, you've reached Becky's phone. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE A VOICEMAIL!

Ok, So this blog is utterly pointless. But George and I had a conversation in the car the other night how I am so passionate about voicemails he said...and I quote: "You're so passionate about the subject, you should write a blog." So here I am. Writing a blog. yes. About Voicemail.


I HATE VOICEMAIL!

I am going to give you the top 5 reasons why I hate voicemail.

1. Particularly on cell phones they make it such a long process to check your voicemail. You have to listen to the stupid automated voice telling you your options. And if you have my dumb phone, it plays messages oldest to newest so if someone leaves me a voicemail, I have to go through all my old ones before I can listen to it.

2. There are still people in the world who leave a voicemail just to tell you they called. WTF! I can see that you called. My phone says "missed call" like everyone else's in the world. Even home phones do that now!



3. I HATE when I miss a call from someone, and then I try to call them back and they are freakin leaving me a voicemail!!!



4. If it's urgent, why would you be leaving me a voicemail? Just call me back!

5. We have text now. Which is better than voicemail. Because I will see it as soon as you send it!

Sorry for my rant. But it is quite redundant now don't you think? So now I would like some advise. If I record my voicemessage to say:

"Hi, you have reached Becky's phone. Please do not leave me a voicemail. Simply call me right back or text me and I will return you're call as soon as I am available."

Is that rude of me? What would you do if you heard that?

long overdue

Oh gosh...it's been so long since i've written a blog...so I figure I should do that now before I just don't. I have quite a bit on my mind anyway...so this is just going to be one of those pointless rambling blogs...so I wont feel bad if you don't read it.

Thought #1:

Tonight was our last softball game of the season. I was a complete idiot. I missed pretty much every ball that flew at me... which happened quite frequently tonight. I also tried catching a fly ball with my bare right hand. WTF! My palm is bruised and I think I might have even broken something. But it's not effecting my typing because I chicken pluck... in case you were wondering...

So our season ended with not a single win. Go Lakeside Softball team!

Thought #2:

I have the most amazing husband ever! So I am going to get on my soap box for a minute to tell how great he really is. Man every morning, I wake up before George to get ready. By the time he wakes up, I am in the middle of getting ready....And you know for many of us, the first thing we need to do when we get up is..you know...Use the john. Well I don't let George interupt me getting ready so he goes all the way upstairs to use the bathroom. How rude am I!? I know...

He also sleeps on the bad side of the bed (Our bed is awful) so that I can sleep better...

George works ALL the time. He is the hardest worker I know. He has a full time job at a marketing firm then comes home at 5 and works on freelance stuff just so we can buy a house next spring...

He is just so great...I could go on forever about even just the little things he does that just makes him my favorite person but I wont...

Thought #3:

On Saturday George and I got to take "Post-Wedding pictures" at least that is what I am calling them. My great friend Kaesie Slinger is starting her own photography company called


Cute name huh!?
Anyways, she was amazing!
Our pictures turned out so pretty so I had to share them on here!!








Yay
! The end.
