Monster

Ok I know I haven't posted in a while... but there really hasn't been much going on lately. But I thought I should share a little experience I had recently....
Well first of all, my tooth randomly started hurting. I thought, oh it's a toothache, it'll go away. But no. The next day it was a little worse... the next day it was WAY worse... and by the 4th day it had spread through the whole side of my mouth and the pain was so incredibly bad I couldn't take it anymore. It was a monster tooth. Not even orajel would do anything. So that night, when I couldn't sleep, and all I could do was toss and turn and cry because it hurt so much, I just prayed and prayed that it would just let up enough so that I could sleep. Well, right after I was done, it did! The pain just faded away into nothing just like that! And I started crying again because it was so awesome. I could hardly believe it. Nothing like that had ever happened to me... so sudden like that. I kept trying to tap my tooth to see if it would hurt because it was so surreal that it just disappeared like that! It did come back a few minutes later, and I still couldn't sleep.... but just that little bit was amazing enough. Just goes to show how much Heavenly Father loves us and wants to comfort us when we're in pain, physical or emotional. Ahhhh. It was great.
So anyway, to finish the story.... I went to the dentist the next morning and it turned out to be an abscess and I had to get a root canal. Blah. It sucked. I hate going to the dentist more than anything in the world. But it doesn't hurt anymore so I'm happy.

In other news.... my cousin Landon and one of my high school friends got married a couple weeks ago in the Gila Valley temple. They are so perfect together! I'm so happy for them. Aaaaand my mother-in-law got married about a month ago, to an amazing guy who loves her. I'm so happy for her too.

Also, next week, I'm going up to Utah to see my BEST FRIEND BROOKE who I haven't seen in over a whole year! I am so dang excited.

That is all.

Hair and Things

Christmas again whaAAT?? Time is flying so fast it's crazy. Christmas comes so fast I hardly have time to get excited for it! Ah. Well anyway, the reason for this post is mostly because I got my hair cut short and decided to share. It's never NEVER been short. (Except when I was little but that doesn't count.) I've always had it long. But since I had bleached it, (it's back dark now,) the ends were just breaking and if anything my hair was getting shorter. So I had to cut it. I was so so so scared, but I'm glad I did it becuase I LOVE it! It's not styled very well... it looks better when I straighten the ends in so it's not flipped out... but here's a picture anyway. And now it's healthy again so it can start growing long! Then I'll probly cut it again because I love it short so much. Thanks to my amazing talented gorgeous crazy awesome sister Taryn for cutting it! I love it.My hair looks better in this one. It's also longer- already! It's only been about two weeks! I can't believe how fast your hair can grow when it's healthy. I can't decide whether to let it just keep growing or cuz it again. The whole point was to get it to grow, but I love it short too! Ahh.
Anyway, this was taken at my hubby's Home Depot Christmas Party. I gotta say, I should have cut HIS hair before then... hahaha. If I knew they were doing pictures I would have. Oh well. It's a good picture anyway :)Here's a picture of us at the Christmas parade on Main Street, downtown Safford. It was kind of a lameish parade, but we had a lot of fun anyway. It was fa-REEEEZING. That's why I look kind of like a sick Roudolf. Joe looks extra cute in that beanie though..

Joe Talks

Some talkiness from Joe's sleep that I've collected over the past few months :)

Joe: Half a tiller!
Me: What?
Joe: Half a tiller. But that wouldn't work....
Me: What's a tiller?
Joe: It's like a lawnmower but with spikes that dig up the ground...
Me: Oh yeah.
Joe: So, if you cut it in half.... you would have..... half a tiller....

Joe: Blue melted.
Me: Huh?
Joe: Melted.
Me: What melted?
Jpe: Blue.
Me: Blue?
Joe: Green.
Me: Green?
Joe: *nods*
Me: The green melted?
Joe: *nods*

Joe: That's why!
Me: What's why?
Joe: To be done.
Me: What?
Joe: Never mind. I explain it every night!

Joe: Brittany, do you have splinters? Do you have splinters in your boobs?
Me: Splinters in my boobs??
Joe: Yeah, do you have splinters in your boobs? Is that why you love me?

(And this was prayer time, the night before he went to plant some grass for my parents. He was also very very very tired.)

Joe: Our Father in heaven, we're thankful fr this day, ................
Me: Joe?
Joe: Thankful fr the....... food................. the food...................
Me: *smuggling laughter* Joe?
Joe: Help me drive safe tomorr....... 'n lookit the grass........... 'n do good.............. Namuh Jeeschrismen.

CALIFORNIA

This is a few weeks overdue but oh well. Better late than never right? Well we had a BLAST in California... Joe loved Disneyland :) he told me the other day randomly... "Disneyland was so magical." Tehe. Space Mountain was our favorite! The Tower of Terror at California Adventure I LOVE. But Joe very much did not. Haha.
Then we went to the beach. It was so nice! Not too crowded, kind of cold and windy, but not too bad. The water was nice once you got in.
Knott's Berry Farm was fun, but after being at Disneyland, it looked like the biggest trashland ever. There was junk everywhere. In the line for a ride, if you looked down in between the bushes and the railing, you could barely see the ground it was so littered with crap. It was nasty. But the rides were fun. Joe didn't like the dropping rides... he wasn't fond of the sick feeling you get in your stomach. He even blacked out for a second on the Silver Bullet haha. I even almost did on the Excelerator... it shot up and back down so fast I saw a tunnel. But it was fun! I love roller coasters. I just wish we would have gone to Knott's first, before Disneyland. It wasn't as fun because we just wanted to go back to Disneyland.
Here are some pictures. Mostly from Disneyland, and some from the beach.

On the Dumbo ride! Hehe.Trying to pull the sword out of the stone... Joe's favorite movie!The beach! <3

July already?

I wish I was better at writting on here. A lot has happened. Well, a lot is happening now. Summers are crazy, especially if you are a part of my family. Just to catch up... we moved out of apartment #4 into #1, which is SO much bigger... both the living room and the kitchen are bigger seperately than the whole living room/kitchen area in #4. And there's an extra bedroom for all our necessary crap... and maybe for another person eventually. Unless we move before that happens. But anyway, Joe's sister Summer and her hubby Joseph and baby Shane moved into #4 a couple months ago after we moved over into #1. It's been really fun hanging out with them. That Shane is just the most adorable thing. He's 9 months now I think... he's getting so big. I love him!
Also, my hair is blonde now. For REAL blonde. Summer did it for me a couple months ago... At first it was a really crazy change and I wasn't sure about it... but I'm used to it now and I like it. It's started to grow out... I've got to do something with it soon because it's going to start looking really bad because my hair is so dark naturally.
I got a job... well I started in... february I think. At my uncle Tracy Montierth's optometry office in Safford. The office attached to our apartment building. It's pretty nice cuz I just walk down the stairs and I'm there basically. It's boring though. I'm not really a desk-job person... But it's a job and I get money.
Tomorrow is July, and in July iiiiiis.... DISNEYLAND!!! I'm so so so excited! Joe has never been and we're gonna have FUN! We're also going to Knott's Berry Farm! I love that place. Joe's never been there either. He's never been anywhere. Also in July is a family reunion. I'm excited :) I'm excited I'm excited. July is gonna be awesome.
I think I covered most of what's happened lately. Oh yeah... we got turtles. Summer and Joseph and me and Joe. They named their's Venus de Milo, the girl ninja turtle, so we named ours Leonardo. Then I found out that Venus and Leo are like, lover ninja turtles. Bahaha. But their turtle kept getting out of the tub thing and got lost. They still havn't found it. It's probably rotting somewhere in their apartment... or walked off the balcony... Our turtle died yesterday :( I don't know what happened. I had just bought a new pan thing for water because the one in there got a hole in it somehow so the water just drained out into the dirt so it couldn't swim. I put the new one filled with water in the tub and put the turtle in it and he just floated.... it was so sad! Poor Leo. Oh also, Joe got promoted at Home Depot! (FINALLY!) Hooray :)

My blonde hair...Then I cut my bangs.

Dead Leo before he was dead...

Renaissance Festival

Yesterday Joe and I went to the Renaissance Festival! My legs and feets are sore from walking around so much. But it was really fun. Here are some pictures.

Joe was extremely excited, despite the look on his face.

Look at my cute husband. I lub him. Teehee.

Joe callenging a knight.

This magician guy was awesome. He just stood on that ball and did some really cool magic tricks. I liked his beak mask.

The turkey leg. Mmmmm....

That was our knight in the jousting tournament. The good guy. I wish I got a picture of his face... he was adorable. He looked like Martin Short. Haha.

The fairy. She was so cute!

This "funeral cart" rode by... they were playing music. It was awesome haha.

This little goat at the petting zoo was just staring at me so I took a picture. He's so cute!

These were our souvenir renaissance mugs. Cuz we have to get a mug everywhere we go. Isn't that the coolest mug ever? Joe thought it was boring so he got this giant one with the dragon and knight on it...

Twenty-Three

Last thursday (Jan 20th) was Joe's 23rd birthday. We had a little party at my parents' house.

His lemon cupcakes with lemon frosting.

Opening up his motorcycle cover.

His new UofA hat I found at Dollar General for 7 bucks.
