I may or may not regret letting my husband get the new I phone.
Its fantastic and I want one too. However my upgrade is not for another 6 months, but seeing how we waited 31/2 hours in the Apple store to get this phone to finally activate for Huston, Apple said they would see what they could do for us. So im banking on them calling me sometime this week telling me I can have one too.
We'll see....
Anywho... technology is soo advanced its scary.
Huston said to the phone "Siri, will you marry me?"
The phone says... "Lets just be friends ok?"
Huston says "Ok"
Siri says "Im ok if you are ok!"
See what i mean by scary!?? ...
Ps. He loves it. And Siri may become his new girlfriend. He stayed up so late playing with her last night while i layed in bed alone. No cuddles for me until this new phase wears off i guess. I may or may not be jealous of a PHONE. haha
At least i downloaded the Pinterest free app on his phone on the way home from town, for when I get bored, and when he is actually ready to share. I dont think he knows I did that yet.. so lets not tell him!

Lucky Day
This morning i had a weird message on my phone from the bank. I was nervous.. thinking about identity theft, overdraft, anything... The possibilities were endless. I had no idea what they would want. They almost NEVER call...
I called the lady back, and she says to me.. "Kilie, You are the winner of a $300 gift card to Apple." Im like WHAT?? haha She asked me if i remembered entering the drawing, and my response was nope! Haha.
Oh well! Looks like its my LUCKY DAY... Now if only this kind of luck could rub off on my ovaries.
Maybe now I can get the iPhone I just posted about.
Im pretty giddy, and excited. This like NEVER happens to me. I never win anything.

Wish List
Last night we played around in a Verizon store for a little bit with the new Iphone 4S.
Verdict: We want it.
Huston could probably hold out for the 5, however I dont care to be a little bit behind. I think the 4S would suit me great for a few years.
Huston was playing with the new capabilities. Our favorite is that you can speak to the phone, and it does what you tell it to. Huston decided to send a message to himself from the I phone in the store and said verbally to the phone:
" I am using the new Iphone 4S and it is awesome, I really want one!"
The Iphone 4S sent the following message to Huston's phone:
" I am using the new Iphone 4 ASS and it is awesome, I really want one!"
Pretty accurate huh?
Not bad! We got a pretty good laugh at that, and decided it was pretty much worth getting! :) Hopefully our Christmas to each other or something.
Thankful Sunday
A good friend of mine does a thankful post every thursday. She calls it "Thankful Thursday"
Im a little early in the week for it to be Thursday, but just wanted to state a few things I am thankful for.
-My parents/family- My mom and dad do so much to help us out, and they do it willingly. They send us fun packages, have helped us out financially when needed, payed to fly us home, gave us our dream wedding, and have encouraged us to finish our education even if it means to do it a million miles away. I am also grateful for my siblings. Lately I have really been missing my relationship with them. I am mostly grateful that my family, is MINE forever. They are important to me because they understand me and they love me. I am grateful for thier relationships, and examples. Its amazing how much we can learn from our own families, which is why God gave us them!
-Education- I am grateful that I grew up. Ok, not literally "grew-up" but more like matured, beacuse when I was 18 years old, I hated school. I actually never wanted to go back. I always assumed after marraige we would have kids and start a new stage of life, but God had a different plan for me. I now know how important it is to be educated in today's society, and am currently extremely motivated to obtain a Master's degree. I am grateful to be here at BYU-H and have learned the value of recieving an education and pursued it. It is a big accomplishment to graduate with a college degree. Oh and PS. Huston and I are "hopefully" crossing our fingers...if everything goes as planned this last year of school, and we dont lose our grants...we just may be.. graduating DEBT free, which is an even bigger accomplishment.
FYI graduation is actually marked on a calender. December 15, 2012
Husband- I know, I know.. the cliche answer, but seriously how could one not be eternally greatful for the best friend they ever had? The most amazing, kind, patient, caring, supportive, and handsome person I have ever known? Its true. I am greatful to be blessed with such a wonderful spouse. He is funny, wakes up happy every morning, is patient with me, keeps us on our toes, thinks that the world is going to end if you spend a penny, adventurous, and loving. I have loved getting to know him more and more, and watching our lives change each year we are married. I am mostly grateful for his virtue of patience, one that I do not posess. He balances me out, thats for sure. I am also grateful for all the time we get to spend together, and how he always puts me first on his schedule. This weekend he had two HUGE tests. He was really stressed, but I really needed time to spend with him because we both had busy weeks and barely saw each and it is important to me that we get TIME together. In fact, that is my love language. Quality Time. If you have not read the 5 Languages of Love, I highly recommend it. It helped us understand each other 100 times better. Anyways, Huston planned out his tests perfectly so that he could spend time with me. Instead of taking both of them Friday and not seeing me at all that day or night, he only focused on one test friday, and took the other on Saturday. He even got up early Saturday morning instead of sleeping in, before he had to go to work..to work on his test. All so that, WE could have another evening together. End result- 2 weekend evenings together, and Best Husband Ever award goes to Huston. I am grateful for him, and the effort he gives our marraige. Its always 110%.
a Job- I complain about my job more than I should because it is really hard to WORK while being in school. I am grateful for my job. Even though I have to work on the Sabbath, my job has provided for our family and been more than understanding with my school schedule changes each semester. It pays exactly enough for us to support ourselves and is perfect for me. I am also more than grateful for my husband's job. We never actually see a real paycheck, but physically live in a perfect little apartment for free because of his job, and that is a major blessing.
Free Time- For the first time in two years.. Huston and my schedules are just the ooposite of each other. Which means less time together. Its unfortunate, but I have taken that free time lately to do alot of things. I am learning that I actually love this time that I have to myself each evening, and I look forward to it. Lately my vice has been crafting, but thats not always feasable so I read, play loud music, catch up on my shows that Huston hates to watch, do some homework, bake or cook more often, maybe even exercise, or blog, usually blogging wins that battle though. Needless to say its been fun to have a little time to myself and really do what I want to do. Not that Huston never does those things with me, but i am just enjoying the free time I have had lately. Its nice to feel like I was able to get something done, ya know? that Accomplished feeling? even if it is for recreational purposes!
-I think right now... thats enough content to read and grattitude. But seriously...
Count your many blessings!! See how much better it makes you feel :)

a phase...
Maybe its just a phase.. and call me crazy... but
Im a little obsesessed with candles lately. I burn them every night and love how my house smells. It just makes our little house a HOME. My pumpkin candle is almost empty and I just baught another one that smells like a combination of Christmas and fall. the best of both worlds.
However, even though i have a new large candle, im still really tempted to take advantage of this awesome deal.at Bath and Body Works.Oh christmas candles...
Im thinking about peppermint and evergreen, which is a pine scent. Oh and they even have a firewood scent..Yikes! I cant decide.
Just so you people understand how much I like burning candles, I will tell you that I have two candles that dont even have a scent anymore that I still burn just for the effect of candlelight in our house. Ha! Oh the beauty of living in such a small space. I was just thinking last night, how in the world am I supposed to burn candles in every room of an actual house, when we have one?
My parents are the greatest and sent me two new scentsy scents. Which i literally planned on ordering this week, and now i dont have have to. What im trying to get at is that I think I am set on "scents" for the home for at least 2 months (hopefully, lol)
Mom's and Dad's are the greatest. They also sent us some Halloween candy, and some fall/halloween decor, along with the shorts I previously mentioned.
It made my day!

answered prayers
Ok... I know god answers prayers.. He does. or at least he knows exactly how to tell me he loves me.
While Huston was at work, i was at home alone. alone and left to think about everything and how sad i really was. You know.. if your mind is not actively engaged it wanders to places you don't want it to.
I hated sitting there alone. I got anxious but didn't want to do anything. I kept looking at my phone thinking maybe someone would call me or text me or maybe i should be proactive and call someone. And...
not long after i looked at my phone someone knocked at my door.
Someone who makes Hawaii home. Someone who has made me feel welcome here and loved and like we belong here. Someone who is always positive and such a good example to me, someone who gives me all her recipes because she has been married for almost 5 years, and someone who means the world to me.
She handed me a bag with a smile and a hug.
That bag contained:
-Gum- to remind me to stick to it
-A small smooth stone- to remind me that the rough times help refine and polish us
-Popcorn- to remind me that i am always popping into her thoughts
-Love Spell(victoria secret spray)- to remind me to take time to enjoy the act of love and romance and forget about everything else
-Hand soap- because it smells yummy and washes away all the bad junk
-and a safety pin- so I can hold it all together
She titled it Kilie's happy kit and left me the best LOVE NOTE!! I love and am so grateful for my amazing friend who listened to the little voice inside her head that said she needed to come and visit me.
God sent me an angel today! :) It was my dear friend and that was the most thoughtful most creative thing she could of ever done. Thank you kind friend!

She beat me..
Once upon a time.. i posted about the great sales i found on shorts.
My mother read it... and i don't think she meant to do this on purpose but ...she BEAT the crap out of me. She found shorts.. Khaki and Black for $3.00 each. Originally 36 buckaroo's. She got me 8 pairs. Haha
Grand Total- $24 bucks for 8 pairs of shorts. That is pure robbery!
Im set with shorts for the next 3 years probably.
Thanks mom!! I may or may not be a little spoiled...and i may or may not like it! :) I am the golden child after all... Right? (sarcasm) be choice with your words those who respond to that.
I would say.. my $43 dollars in 5 pairs of shorts to her $24 for 8 pair..Blows me out of the water. But not everything is a competition right?
Looking forward to receiving a package in the mail. I love my Mom! Thank you sooo much! I should probably thank my dad too since it was probably out of his wallet! :)
