I LOVE being Mrs. Roth!

Life is amazing.  I've been married for almost 6 months now!  I've experienced so many ups and downs since then...mainly because of work and my birth control...more on that later though.  It's picture time!!!

This is me totally excited because I'm done with work and my husband is coming to pick me up!

 

 

I look forward to the chocolate festival in Glendale in February every year...especially because they have chocolate covered cheesecake which ROCKS!  It was mighty chilly this time.  P.S.  See those super cute yellow sunglasses on my head that I bought for my wedding??  Ya, some punk kids totally stole them out of our car a week ago...I'm pretty peeved about it still.  Maybe not so much about the sunglasses which were from Target, but I'm sure upset about my stinking PRESCRIPTION glasses being taken?  Seriously.  WHO does that!  (We know it was kids because they didn't even take the emergency bag in the bag that had jumper cables/battery charger/gloves/etc in it).  If I find out who did it, I will go grab them by the shirt and give them a piece of my mind!!!

 

Pinterest has me trying many new things these days...this is my homemade Nutella and jam pop tart!

 I was at Kohl's searching for some more slacks for work (Jordan thinks I look like a weirdo with my oversized ones)...and one of my FAVORITE shirts ripped...sad day...

This is yet ANOTHER Pinterest DIY craft.  A white foam wreath covered in red yard and pink and white felt hearts for Valentine's Day.  I love how it turned....I'm not going to lie, I am pretty proud of it!

 

 

So...like I said, life is good...it will get even better when this week is over and then subsequently the next 2 weeks because that means that it will be Spring Break!!!!!!!!  I need some time off badly!

Post-Holiday Depression

Hey guys!!!  Well, the holiday/no work time has officially ended.  It's the end of MLK day and I have less than an hour left of freedom.  Oh, how I wish to HIGH HEAVENS that May 23rd (the last day of school) would come super fast.  It's getting exhausting keeping up with 26 second graders.  I have a new found respect for teachers of any age group.  It is much tougher than parents will EVER realize.  When parents say I'm being too mean, I wish so badly I could say to them, "You be the teacher for one day.  See how YOU fare!"   ...but I can't say that.

Holiday fun today was an amazing hike, followed by a trip to the San Tan mall to return Jordan's jacket that didn't actually keep him warm...you failed us Eddie Bauer!

Then, we stopped at Caketini for some cupcakes...they looked and sounded SO good.  Sad day, they disappointed both of us.  This is a picture from another blog.  We tasted the Decadent Duet (choc. and peanut butter) and Salted caramel...both not awesome...I could make WAY more flavorful for LESS than $3.75 a piece!  Too bad...it looked amazing!

Alrighty, until later!  My mustache man and I bid you farewell!

Woah. We have Been SUPER Busy!

            Sorry.  Could NOT be helped.  As a new teacher, I only dreamed about how busy I would be.  I've been much, much busier.  The work is relentless.  I leave work at 4:15 almost everyday and I STILL am not finished.  Sometimes it makes me a grumpy person my husband can attest to the truthfulness of that.  The last thing I think about before I fall asleep is something related to school work.  The first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning is also related to school.  It's exhausting.

             When telling my mom about this, she said, "welcome to parenthood".  Then I said, "Oh gosh, if this is what parenthood is like, count me out!"  It's just alot to handle right now and I need a break, like, a real good break SO bad.  I'm so excited for the next 3 weeks to go by!  I pray that it goes by fast.
             Tomorrow a student teacher is coming to watch me.  I know it's not that big of a deal but I'm still nervous.  I hope it's not a train wreck of a morning.

On a lighter note, Jordan and I have been having a grand old time being married (when I'm not working).

Jordan and I on the Tower of Terror at Disneyland for our belated  honeymoon...I really didn't want to go on the ride but I bit the bullet because he did.  That was a REAL scared face!

Today is General Conference Saturday

I got up promptly at 7 am to work out before my day of conference was to begin.  Got a FABULOUS workout in.  In between conference sessions Jordan and I went to sell my ipod at Game Stop.  I previously decided that if they didn't offer me at least $100 dollars, I wouldn't sell it.  Ya, they offered WAY below $100!  $61 for store credit or $50 cash.  Really?  When I originally paid $300 for it?  No way.  I'm not selling it for that!  I suppose on the other hand...what else will I do with it?  We'll see...

After the second session is over, I gotta make a trip to Goodwill to look for books for my school classroom and then visit the dollar store for dice.

Tonight during the Priesthood session I'll be going over to my parent's house to watch the Relief Society broadcast with my mom and sisters then we will meet up with the guys for dinner afterward.  I'm excited.  Today is a great day!  Especially cause I get to spend it with my husband! :)

The Mrs. is Sick Sick Sick.

It's no bueno over here. Lately I can't sleep. I can't breath. I can't function at work. I'm sitting here waiting at the Minute clinic next to a woman who just had a seizure before coming here. I feel bad for her, I really do...but...I was here first and I'd really like to leave. Do you think they would let her jump the line and go in front of me?? Does that make me a bad person for thinking that?! I was here first.

It's a Good Life!

Well hello there!  We are newly married and going to a family ward tomorrow...wish us luck.  I'm kinda nervous to tell you the truth.  What if all the people are weird?  What if we get asked to speak right off the bat?  I dread speaking like you wouldn't believe!  Anyways, life is good.  We had a little friendly competition via our new Xbox 360 Kinect.  It was fun.  The hubby won.
