I'm wiped out

SO this is how my education future is looking so far. I'm gonna work and help put Gustavo through school... key word being help...and then Gustavo is going to do the same lol.Yes Gustavo i'm now planning your future too. I mean this probably wont happen, but it's the most realistic idea i've come up with so far. :( now for the wiped part. for christmas my sister Brett wanted me to burn all of the songs on my itunes onto cds for her to put in her car. well i have over a thousand songs on my itunes so what i've done is gone through all the songs, narrowed it down to songs she'd like ( 326) and then i've been burning them onto the cds for about 4 hours now. it's ended up being 15 1/2 cds. I'm done. good

Midnight Madness...

AGHH it's midnight and i have to work in the morning. I also have an appointment at the Institute i want to go to. in order to get my RN. But i dont even see the point anymore. in order to even qualify for financial aid , my mom has to sign something , and she wont. She doesnt want me going to this school and even if it was a school she'd want me to go to , she still wouldnt sign anything. why? because she doesnt want to help with financial aid again. The one thing i've wanted in my life, and i cant even do it. I finally found something i want to do , and i cant do it. It's so frustrating. I feel like i'm always going to be stuck at cfa and i dont want to be. I'm so lost and confused , and have NO idea what to do

It's like watching Anastasia!!

So ...today in church we had two of our returned missionaries speak in church. One of them just got back from the Kiev mission...isnt that in Russia? anyways. they asked him to bear his testimony in his "new native" language. and so he did . at that point in time i turned to my sister and said excitedly.."IT'S LIKE WATCHING ANASTASIA!!"
THE END

I think i fell in love with the 8th world wonder

I love this song...It's completely how i feel about Gustavo. He is the most amazing thing in my life and every time i think about him i cant help but smile. so that's that. uhm....yeah , so my day was long and rough and i'm ready for bed so i'll talk to you latah.

Christmas alone

haha if you didnt guess from the title im celebrating christmas alone. the family is in Texas. I've been invited to several people's houses , but i really dont want to impose on any of their christmas's. For christmas eve today i slept in till 11:30 when Liz demanded i get up, go downstairs and eat/get ready to go shopping. Then I came home with liz and Michael went to work. Me and liz split up and she cleaned upstairs ,and i took downstairs. she spent about 3 hours cleaning 2 bathrooms and a bedroom , and i spent 3 hours on the kitchen. and yes...it took that long and then some. At about 6ish i went to the Jennings for the annual Christmas party. I got adopted into the Parsons family and shared my talent with them. Then I came home finished up the kitchen. and my GUSTAVO CALLS ME!! he kept telling me he loved me. I'm pretty sure he does. he even told me that he wanted to let me know that i was a smart beautiful girl , and that i could do ANYTHING i ever wanted. and that meant alot to me. he even said i didnt have to move to Utah if i didnt want to , but we all know i will. then i mopped the front hallways and cleaned and mopped the downstairs bathroom. Tomorrow i'm going to tackle the T.V room , dining room , and me and Bretts bedroom.but yeah...thats my christmas.

I'm a hat

So ... for christmas i got season one of friends. in the first episode rachel leaves her fiancee at the alter. She's telling her dad that it was like all her life peoople have told her she's a shoe , and she's finally decided she doesnt want to be a shoe , she wants to be a hat or a purse. well that's where i am right now and i think it has a lot to do with Gustavo and my parents , and finally ME!!! I've finally decided i dont want to be the failure newberry , i want to be the Newberry where my family and friends say well she had a rough start , but look at all she's done!!! I'm so excited about the Interview i have with admissions at Everest Institute. This could be my life changing event. I could have my associates in Medical assisting the same time Gustavo get's back from his mission , and then life would slowly be falling into place. so yeah.

Yay for cleaning supplies...

So I decided today that if anybody asked me what i thought the best invention ever was , i'd have to say Scrubbing Bubbles. yes the cleaning products. all of them. they are simply amazing and in my opinion make cleaning FUN!! you spray it on and listen to it clean , then as you wipe it away you can see everything just disappear. It's awesome. I decided that while using it to clean my dogs crate. because since my parents are out of town i decided i would feel so much safer if he slept in my room , but i dont want to risk the chance of him peeing in my bed. so i cleaned his because it smelled and i'm doing his laundry, because it smells , that way when he sleeps in my room tonight i do not have to deal with the smell.

Speaking of puppies me and Gustavo decided a while back , that since we dont want kids right away...let me rephrase that. Since Gustavo doesnt want kids right away. ( i grew into the plan) that we would get a puppy first. because they are just like babies except dont need as much attention. so we decided on a golden retriever. except i want a toy poodle. because frankly Golden Retrievers are cute puppies , but they get big. Toy poodles are still cute puppies , but they stay little , and having a big dog in an apartment is expensive. of course having a dog in an apartment is expensive but the bigger the dog , the more money. so we shall decide on a dog eventually. :) the end

Holy HECK!!!

OH MY GOSH...MY DAY COULD NOT GET ANY WORSE!!! , seriously i was just about to get on here and freak out at Gustavo for not talking to me in almost a week , when i found his emails. My Best friend, the love of my life , got in a bike accident and tore up ligaments in his knee and can't walk. As if my day wasnt stressful enough now i'm freaking out because my BOYFRIEND CAN'T WALK!!!! I want him home ,i want him home now. if i didnt know how much he wanted this mission , i would find a way to get him off it. ...and probably be sent to hell in the future. sigh....I've just got to have faith for my mother and Gustavo to heal now. oh gosh what a christmas this is turning out to be. i just want this to all be over and soon...so to everyone who might be reading this , Please keep my Gustavo in your prayers.

You're the new classic. The new PYT!!!

Today was stressful. work was crazy , and i havent heard from gustavo. the end

when we met the angels whispered " Perfect"

I saw that phrase on a bumper sticker on facebook and loved it. I think that's what the angels whispered when me and Gustavo met. i love him. anyways , it's been a hectic week starting yesterday. and it feels like it will never end. Yesterday i was in nursery.(I always am ...) I was in nursery with 6 HYPER 2-3 year olds. crazy. I could not get those kids to sit still for ANYTHING.!!!and that's when i decided i never ever want sextuplets. EVER!!! then today was the first day of my work week. it was a normal shift for me 8-4, and it's later than my tomorrow shift of 7-4. I was so tired after work today i just came home and slept. i slept till 7 i think, then i went over to my neighbors to shower because ...OUR WATER PIPE IS BROKEN!!! so we have no water in our house. then stuff is just goin on all this week ,and on Saturday , my family is going to Texas. it's insane. ahhh i'm so tired. I'm prolly gonna sleep soon. the good news is that next week i get to talk to Gustavo , probably. he might get to call me for christmas and that makes me happy. It'll be the first time i've heard his voice in ...4 months? anyways...yeah just thought i'd share:)

These things WILL change :)

ahhhh I love Taylor Swift , but I didnt get on here to talk about here...Actually i didnt get on here to talk about much of anything. I just decided to post because i havent in a while , so i guess i could talk about whatever i darn well please. I curled my hair last night....it was cute this morning when i took out the rollers. You know what i love MOST about Gustavo's cologne and the shirt? is that days , even weeks later ( because of his letters i know this) the smell of it is still there. and his cologne is very comforting to me . I couldnt tell you why this is , only that for some reason it makes everything better.*sighs* apparantly my computer loves Taylor Swift too , since it will play all her songs , but is hating the other ones.i feel i could go on and on talking about nothing in particular. it's been one of those days

I LOVE PRESENTS!!!

GUSTAVO SENT ME MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!!! I LOVE IT !!! It's got to be the best ever. like seriously he sent me a GINORMOUS card , and a tape with nothing but his lovely voice (and his companions) on it , and a LITTLE MERMAID DIARY!!! I love journals , i could write for ages, plus i love little mermaid. THE BEST THING IS THE SHIRT!! it's made (by him i'm assuming or his companion , or somebody with amazing talent...) to look like a missionarys. It's got a tie and name tag drawn on it. and the name tag says , "Elder Vaca Guzman"
"I'm waiting for him"
It's too adorable...I cried. no joke. It makes me soo happy.and it has his cologne on it...ANNDDDD my mommy says that he knows me... I say he knows me VERY GOOD. I think he knows me better than I know me... and i AM me.... YAYA I LOVE YOU GUSTAVO!!!!!!!!!

My turn

So you all got to read the 20 things i know about Gustavo , but now it's my turn. I'm only doing 16 :) it started out as a tag other people thingy on facebook , but i hate facebook notes they're practically pointless.so i'm doing it here , where i dont have to tag anybody, and people who want to read it can. so here goes the 16 things about me ( aka fun facts)

Afton:

7)I still play with barbie dolls occasionally , same with dollhouse, and baby dolls=addicted
8)I love babies , but i'm AFRAID , of having kids over 3
9)I love my bed , and blankets...it's my downfall
10) When possible i stay in my pj's all day:)
11)I love tomatoes , but HATE ketchup
12)My sisters and i have a baby brother...he died before he was born though :(
13)I miss the Grandfather i never met. Every day:)
14)I hate my dad's parents...not lying. they've never shown real interest in us...
15)now that i've grown up in the last couple months i know EXACTLY what i would do if i got a million dollars
16)I HATE the color Green...It's ugly...so bland...even on plants..

How to make Heavenly Father laugh.

My dad told me this the other day when I told him my plans for the future, for what I want out of my life. After I told my dad this : " the best way to make Heavenly Father laugh is to tell him your plans." I thought about this and it kind of made sense. I had grown up thinking that If you did your part , then Heavenly Father would take care of the rest. My dad's point made sense too also. Heavenly Father will always do what he wants for your life, whether you like it or not. So maybe that's why everytime I come up with a plan something happens. The current plan I have seems to be a good one , Stuff just keeps coming up , but I think if I try hard enough and focus long enough it can happen. I mean I may not be able to move out to Utah as soon as I wanted, but I should still be able to finish this plan. I'm not sure why I've been thinking about this as much as I have been this past week , but I'm glad I have been thinking about it.

I love you Gustavo!!!

I heart ?

HEY!!!
today is the 6th of December , I still have a cold ,and life is great. not really.well ok kind of really. I got a letter from my love and my life Gustavo...and i swear I love him more and more EACH AND EVERY day!!!! I am so super lucky to have him in my life. He always knows just what to say to me to make me feel better about anything. Even though he's on his mission. for some reason unknown to me , My nose finally let me get some decent sleep today. so i'm happy for that. and my parents bought me EXTRA STRENGTH mucinex , so i should get some decent sleep tonight as well. well until it wears off at about 6am.2 of my friends recently got off their missions. One the day before thanksgiving , and One of them just got back yesterday. So Im hoping i get to see them tomorrow.anyways , now that i just sneezed my GUTS out , i think i'll go to bed :)

Work...

Work was good,a very long 8 hours due to a stupid cold i have, but on the positive side i made 60 dollars..that's my phone bill...I made my phone bill in one day. yay me. anyways , i'm tired again for some reason , i just sneezed out my brains and there's still stuff in my nose ( I knew you all wanted to know) and so much more fun ...ahhh i think i'm gonna check facebook then crash. Night all

I am employed...again.

Guess where i'm working again? CFA...but totally a different one.I'm working at the Dwarf House now. I start tomorrow morning...wish me luck!!!oh and pray i dont get ginormously large.

We have new furniture

In mi casa there is new furniture...it's leather. and heavy. and i love it. my mom and i have the same taste when it comes to decorating. I love it...guess what ? 22 days till i get a call from Gustavo..maybe, and 21 days till christmas eve...My family will be in Texas, we dont know if i'll get to go yet. Depends on if i have a job or not.:s oh well...it's late , i'm going to bed

Me and life are having a smack down....And i'm losing...i think

I feel like my world is falling apart...seriously i need help , like a couple lessons on money management. BOOOOOOO in good news christmas eve is in 23 days and Christmas is in 24 i'm stoked....oh and my anniversary with gustavo is in 25 days...yaya for living on love.

It's Christmas in the Newberry household

I LOVE AQUARIUMS!!! we got to see PENGUINS -Bretts favorite and...SHARKS!!!! My favorite. we also got to pet stingrays and sharks... it was pretty awesome. The stingrays feel like a slimy wet booger and the sharks feel like wet sandpaper. then we went on the polar express and traveled to the NORTH POLE!! on the way back they asked me to sing to the train car that we were on. It was pretty exciting. not gonna lie. haha

I still need to run it by my parents and a few friends , but the future is looking bright!!!! I'm sooooo excited that i finally have a plan i can stick to for once. I PROMISE!!!!

Australia

By far the most AMAZING movie ever. It's practically 3 hours long , but 3 hours of Hugh Jackman goodness. I went with 4 of my friends , all of whom cried. I teared up at the end , but for some reason the tears just would not come. and the only reason i even teared up is because it reminded me of Gustavo. ahhhh I love movies.

This is basically my Journal.

So I'm pretty sure nobody but Gustavo reads this ,well and occasionally Brett. So this is my Journal. and since i'm allowed to write in my journal as much as i want i'm going to go ahead and Write another Entry .

So here goes.:
I just looked at an old friend of mine's facebook photo album and it was of her and her Husband. He had just gotten back from i guess Iraq , i mean he's gone again ,but these were pictures from when he was home. And it was so cute , he had been gone for 8 months , but in these pictures you could see how much they missed each other and Loved each other at the same time. It made me think of my Gustavo. I love him sooo much and it's the hardest thing ever for me Knowing he's in California knowing he's doing the Lords work , yet I cant see him. It's hard , but I know he misses me as i'm sure he knows i miss him. I also know that he loves me and and i hope he knows i love him. He's my best friend ,and my better Half. I also know that in two years when i'll be able to see him again , it will be a happy reunion. I know that in two years he'll return and never leave me again. and that makes me happy. I dont quite know what my reaction will be in the airport when i pick him up from his mission.. I think it will be a mixture of laughing and ALOT of tears ,hugs ,and kisses.

*sighs*

I dont think anyone can fully understand how much i miss him. How much i just want to cuddle up next to him and tell him i love him. It's hard , but when it's all said and done , i dont think i would trade this for anything in the world.

Happy Black Friday to all..

Yay for Black Friday!! so just kidding , but for me it was pretty entertaining. Usually days like today are NOT my family's cup of tea , but we were so tired of being inside the house we decided we had to get out. so we went to JoAnns and Target...and Target was my favorite...we park in the wayyyyyyyy back next to this couple (not even kidding) Making out. ewwwies , they were'nt even in their car , no they were in the parking lot...where EVERYBODY could see...Sluts. haha. anyways , my brain was about to explode i swear that's how bad my headache was. Then the Missionaries came over , they never call , they just show up...they're creepers , but I love them anyways haha..not really the one looks like PeeWee Herman...haha and the other one Has a wonderful voice... So i call them (Not to their faces) Elder Sexy Voice and Elder Herman. Anyways their creepers because they stop by our house every week seriously. The week they dont come by will be the week that i'll scream "THE SECOND COMING IS HERE" my mommy says it's cuz they're in love with me ...I wouldnt blame them...I AM good looking. haha but. I talk to them anyways because i feel bad if i dont ,because my gustavo is on his mission ,and so i feel it is now my duty to stick up for missionaries... NO PRESSURE REALLY. anyways , now that i'm rambling...Michael and Liz want me to go see a movie with them...i REALLY dont want to go anywhere today. seriously. BOOOOOO

IT'S THANKSGIVING!!!

HAHA happy Thanksgiving ya'll!!!
So it's thanksgiving and all i can think about is Christmas, i've totally got Christmas on the brain...all last night and all today i cant stop thinking about it.. It's just the most exciting Holiday of all , the tension that leads up to it , i could thrive off of. Mostly what i've been thinking about is how in the world do my parents do it? seems like it would be so hard now that me and my sisters are older , you know , sneaking presents into the house ,then hiding them where nobody but they can find them. It's amazing. I feel like this is the part of christmas that i'm gonna suck at when i have kids of my own. I think it will be good that i'm Going to have Gustavo as a husband ,because whenever my kids would say can we PLEASE open just ONE present early? I would totally cave , but Gustavo totally wouldnt. plus he's SOOOO good at hiding things. He has given me presents , and he'll get them months in advance and i could never find them , not that i looked but still...it's crazy. like the present he gave me for my birthday , he was telling me about last November...He's amazing. but yeah , i'm totally excited about christmas...!!!!

Things I know about my love

so i was listening to a song called I'd lie , by Taylor Swift ,and she went through a list of things she knew about this guy she liked...and the last part she says "and if you asked me if i loved him , i'd lie" anyways it got me thinking... what do i KNOW about Gustavo...so i figured i'd make a list , but i wont lie about loving him.

If i had a super power

Really Edward?REALLY?

So I just saw Twilight the movie... it was a disappointment and i loved it all at the same time. i will give you the reasons right now !!

Disappointment :
* Screenplay was written HORRIBLY
* Edward was ...RETARDED, I love the actor for him, but seriously they should've written him better lines.
* and i quote..
Edward- tell me something to distract me
Bella- You should really put on a seatbelt
*pause*
Edward - you should put on your seatbelt!!
Really Edward ?REALLY ? you seriously couldnt have thought of something better to say? I'm disappointed that you couldnt possibly think of a better comeback than that. and this is why i'm disappointed... They changed some of the things in the book , completely left out key points of the book . I dont care if people say it was horrible because of the actors cast. i disagree , the movie would've still been terrible because of how it was written. I personally thought all the characters were good. fit. I still love the books, and I'll still buy the movie when it comes out , but it would've made a better comedy. that's the good part of the movie , you're laughing the whole time.
On a different note , I have to give Tiffany Cottle props for writing my feelings , and her's for that matter , down . The end.

I'M EXCITED

I AM SO SUPER D DUPER EXCITED ABOUT THANKSGIVING , AND CHRISTMAS...ESPECIALLY CHRISTMAS , IT HAS THE BEST ONE EVER POTENTIAL...ACTUALLY.. i think the christmas after me and gustavo get married will be the best one ever ,because it will be the first one we've spent together... like seriously , couldnt get much better !!!!

My secret dreams...

Oh goodness, I was lying in bed one night thinking about the few things that would make me have the perfect relationship... It's an amazing thing that i have now , no big complaints , just little things that i've dreamed of since i was like 5. things like :
1)I want My hubby to just randomly dance with me in our kitchen... or anywhere in our house/apartment for that matter.
2)I want My hubby to randomly kiss me and bring me flowers for no good reason besides the fact that i crossed his mind and he loves me.
3)Singing.. I want us as lame as this sounds , to be able to sing a cutsie little duet at our wedding.

See it's not that much , the dancing is like my biggie.. the only time gustavo danced with me was the night before we went our ways ... me ga him mission... and even then i had to beg him to dance with me.Maybe i'm just a hopeless romantic, but it crushed me that he never just randomly danced with me... I mean , that could possibly be a deal breaker... lame i know. but i could never marry a guy who wouldn't dance with me randomly.
THE END

wanna play a guessing game.?

So my weekend has been 2 days of play guess what's wrong with Afton and see if you're right.. we've gone from ringworm..( My first personal favorite) to everything... now we're at I'm allergic to cats ??? hmmm , I think this is how it's going down... We thought it was ringworm so we tell afton to take a pill with penicillian in it , to where afton feels better that way , but now she feels like throwing up and has a headache the size of the country... go to bed at 8pm wake up the next morning at 11am , feel all stuffed up so we take a drixoral( all this medicine plus non mentions was mom's idea) and feel the worst ever!!! My legs are practically jello , my eyes are mostly blurry ( aka can't see ANYTHING) head hurts , dizzy , nauseous..and so much more.. so i get the cat diagnoses... nope i think i've just had my meds reacting in a weird way....I dont know...I'm so like shakey and unstable ,that's how i feel now... k bye

Yup i'm still allergic

So uhm... it started out as a little red circle on my throat that i asked my mom to diagnose... she said it was probably ring worm or something like that and that i needed to take some antibiotics for it, so i took hers with the before mentioned penicillan in it. My mommy said maybe i outgrew it. I took it , but i definately did NOT outgrow my allergic reaction to it... I now have more pretty little rashes all down my throat... haha , i'm still allergic. haha.

My scary freak out ... isnt over.?

I was awake at 3 am i guess yesterday morning now. but anyways i was looking at pictures of me and Gustavo... when i had the SCARIEST realization... I couldnt remember what it felt like to hug him... or what it felt like to kiss him... and i'm dying inside now. how can i possibly be forgetting the one person in this life who i've fallen completely and madly in love with? I dont think i've stopped crying all day... I feel like i'm slowly forgetting everything that's important to me. i cant put into word s how much it hurts. it feels like a dream. it feels like he's just a dream,that i've never really met him , i just dreamed him and that i've woken up and i'm forgetting the best dream i've ever dreamed. I'm so afraid that one day i wont remember anything but the fact that i knew him. Thankfully he sends me pictures faithfully so i think it's going to be impossible to forget what he looks like , still , i'm so afraid of it. oh gosh .... what's happening to me? to my life? to me and gustavo.?

Most Beautiful and touching Piano piece EVER

So , after much hunting , i found some of the songs from the twilight movie soundtrack on facebook. My favorite would Have to be Bella's Lullabye. It's probably the most touching piece i have ever listened to in my entire lifetime. It reminds me of the love me and my Gustavo have for one another. Gustavo is my Edward Cullen. I love him... more than anything in the entire world. Of course this song makes me want to tell Gustavo to write me an Afton's Lullabye that he can play for me on his guitar before bed every night once we're married.seriously i've listened to this song about 5 times in a row. I cant wait to marry my Gustavo!!!

and yes!!!

...AND yes , i do happen to mark days by when twilight comes out , and when my anniversary with Gustavo is... , I also mark weeks by Mondays and Fridays...
MONDAYS= Emails from Gustavo, sometimes actually chatting
FRIDAYS= Snail Mail from Gustavo... yaya

Days go by....SLOWLY!!

"To fall in love is awfully simple, to fall out of love is simply awful."
This happens to be my favorite quote ,i don't know who it's by , but I love it. It's so true . I get a love quote on my blog every day... and every time i log in it's different , and this is the first one i loved. Anyways ,I logged on because my friends are watching a movie , and I was missing my Gustavo. I miss him so much and in ... uh,lemme think twilight comes out on the 21 which is 10 days from now , our anniversary's on the 26 , sooo our anniversary is in 15 days ? and he'll have been on his mission for the 3 months on the same date. I'm DYING. I miss that guy sooo much. I just want him to be back. I want to be spending my evenings with him , not my friends...well them too , but mostly him. He's my Best friend for EVER AND ETERNITY...gahhhh i just want him home. I know that's probably mean for me to say , and bad. but i'm kinda upset i didnt meet him later. like i dont know ,AFTER his mission? not before? so lame... Oh well ,I guess i'll just suffer through it. :(

I'm allergic to penicillan

So my mom was gonna let me have some of her anti-biotics to take so i could start getting rid of the Mono-like Symptoms i've been feeling in my throat...( I know these symptoms , because i've had mono before....good times) anyways i take one look at the bottle and see the big bold penicillan on the label , i'm like mom are you talking about these pills , she was like yeah. so i go , I CANT TAKE THESE THEY HAVE PENICILLAN IN THEM!!! ( said in a panic voice ) she's continues to say "You'll be fine.." I laugh and go ....I'm ALLERGIC TO Penicillan...at which point she goes ..."oh...yeah." ...so basically i just saved my own life...I guess sometimes my mom just forgets that oh, i dont know , I COULD DIE if i take penicillan ?

aghhh!!!

I think i'm gettng my favorite kinda mono again... the kind where i dont fall asleep until really late and get up really early ...anyways , my throat hurts like it did then , and although they said i shouldnt get it again i think they also said i could? I dont know... anyways , i've been hanging with liz house-sitting , and we are basically having the best time ever , tonight her little sister Stacy is over and our friend Michael... so while liz took a shower , me and michael took stacy and went to blockbuster and Kroger...we played house...Michael was the daddy and i called him Boo, Stacy was the daughter of ours and i called her Sugar, and she called me mommy , because that's who i was supposed to be. good times, it's kinda just ... lasted. It's pretty much rocking my world... the end

My newest exciting news :

Gustavo will be released as a missionary right at the airport...in 22 and 1/2 months :( so sad... anyways... yeah , i'm tired so i'm gonna go to bed after i take a bath... K night :)

Our New favorite thing :)

Me and my sister Brett have found a new addiction... SCAREY movies... Brett saw her first "scarey" movie last week and now every scarey movie in the house she will debate over whether she wants to watch it or not... Usually we end up watching it. The only way brett will watch the movie though is if I watch it with her...or am in the room :) Makes me happy that me and Brett have found something we enjoy doing together...

When a stranger calls

...I am totally like creeped out by this movie now, my friend bought it , and uhm didnt take it home after we all watched it... I now hate her for it. oh and i was already crying through the movie i was so scared , but after the movie the big scarey 5 FOOT ( ok not really more like 2 inch) long Roach came out to play again... i cried so hard... I am scared of bugs of any kind more than ANYTHING in the WHOLE WORLD!!! but i was also laughing too... and My friend Liz's brother Stewart killed it and was like where should i put it ? and i'm crying so hard that liz is sitting next to me trying to calm me down and liz says frantically i might add...ANYWHERE OUT OF THIS ROOM... and i'm just nodding my head in agreement...ewww i HATE BUGSS!!!!

It's been a rough day ;(

*SIGHS*
My day has been super rough. Between work and home i'm just about ready to collapse. My job isnt even that hard...i sit down and mess with fruit for 8 hours...easy enough. I get home and my sister Colby gets mad at me because i used "her cup" whatever. I dont even care. The only good part about today so far is that I got a letter from Gustavo. yay... It actually made me smile , which a letter from him always does. But this one was crazy... he drew pictures of us. lol in the first picture we were dating.... in hte second one we were married with our first baby who thinks "my dad is the best, i want to be just like him when i grow up"(the picture had thought bubbles and actually said that =]) so yeah and the third one was of us as grandparents ... in the picture he was telling our grandson to obey me :0} best one yet... lol i loved them all...plus i got a halloween card with some of his cologne sprayed in it... so yeah we know i was excited ;) anyways , i'm gonna lay in my bed again... maybe go to sleep... My back hurts soooo bad.
*SIGHS*

I want to share his Cute-ness

so He's basically gonna hate me for doing this , but he can blame his mother for even giving me the pictures ;) these are my 2 favorite pictures of my little Carlos Gustavo...awww ... I hope you guys think he's as cute as i do .... :)oh and gustavo ,i PROMISE i'll upload some cutie pictures of me as a kiddie just so you can not be as mad at me :)

I'm yours...

Probably one of the best songs on the radio today!!! i'm sitting here in the dark drugged up on my Drixoral ,the allergy medicine that knocks me out for hours. so i'm listening to I'm yours by Jason Mraz and Lovebug by the Jonas Brothers... i dont know why i like these songs for sure , but i'm in love with them. I love the smell of October... i dont like how cold it is right now. now i didnt realize this , or maybe i forgot , but uhm me and gustavo are going to Bolivia for christmas of 2010 uhm... that could mess up my wedding plans...or maybe he meant Brazil ...after our wedding for our honeymoon , oh well i'm not gonna worry about it right now, it's forever away...speaking of Gustavo , he wrote me the CUTEST love poem ever... basically i cried. I'm pretty sure we are PERFECT for each other...wow , i'm freakishly tired... bleh...if i sound completely random on this post , just understand , it's the medicine...completely not my fault...ok i'm gonna go now... k bye

solo por ti.... For my Life , my Love , My EVERYTHING

Gustavo , this post is all yours...I'm pretty sure you are the ONLY person who follows my blog and I really love that and i just needed to let you know how much I love you. Gustavo , these last 13 months have been simply amazing ,It's so much more than that actually , but There is no word to express my love for you. You have ALWAYS been there for me and I know that I am not always the easiest person to deal with. Kudos to the one Man who could put up with all the crap i dish and still love me like you do. I dont know if i'll ever be able to let you know fully how much you mean to me , but the fact that i'd die if i lost you must be worth something . I love you soooo much... TE AMO PARA LA ETERNIDAD. muchos besos mi vida. te extrano.
-your wife-
P.s. if anyone else does happen to read this it's totally cool if you just read all of that...at least in my book.and um no , we're not married...yet :p

I have a confession... or two

Confession 1 : I think i might be a creeper... I follow the blogs of people i went to church and Highschool with like 2 years ago.and i never talked to them then , but i find their lives so interesting.
confession 2: I'm addicted to postsecret...no lie.

now on to the real stuff... so i was reading Haleys blog today...and on her latest post she had listed the things she's thankful for , and i thought that hey i should do that too!! so here goes.

I am thankful for:
the gospel in my life
my family
Carlos Gustavo , the man i am goin to marry in ...22 months..
Air conditioning
Indoor plumbing
Facebook-
Music- i would seriously die without it
my car...
my Wonderful job
Liz Felsted- my friend of 10 years ...wow. she's my bestie and i'd die if i couldnt see her
Journals- the only things that will actually listen to my lame life sometimes
Post secret- some people have SERIOUS problems.
My 12 year old class at church- They're difficult to teach , but a bundle of laughs.
The Donaldson Children: I love those kids like they were my own... almost.
Grown Up friends: they know what they're talking about...sometimes
the Piano. it relaxes me
Blank paper...the power to change something forever, to be creative, or smart.
My laptop- she's kinda slow and the n sticks but whatev

Yeah , there's so much more but it all falls under one of the above categories.

I took a walk down memory lane...

So on facebook I recently found and added one of my Bestest friends from when i was 17 ...3 years ago...I haven't seen him since that summer and boy... we've grown up.. He'll be 19 in December and leaving for his mission, but in my eyes he'll always be that cute little 16 year old i had a crush on:) I was thinking and realized as crushed and disappointed i was after i found out he liked another girl , i realized that now, it doesnt even matter. things didnt work out for a reason. I had a blast with him the week or 2 he was here , and if he ever came back to Georgia and asked to hang out with me , i'm sure we'd have just as much fun , but it doesnt matter anymore. I guess once you find that person you know you're supposed to be with, and once you realize you're becoming the person you were meant to become, things like that just dont matter anymore. sure it was fun , but i've realized , We just werent meant to be together , and maybe we were supposed to meet and learn something from each other , or simply be there for each other at that time... all i know is he'll always be my friend, but i've moved on ... and i'm happy :)

My tummy Hurts ;(

Me and mommy made dinner tonight... It was a black bean & cheese quesadilla? I dont know , we made the tortilla's all by ourselfs. YAY US...!!! but between all the chocolate covered strawberries i've been eating , it just made my tummy hurt really bad... :( I dont feel good now. Plus i just did something to my ear and now it really hurts... I'm like a disaster today :( BOO :( my sister has a date night on saturday... at our house . we're having a bonfire!!! YAYAY ok well i'm gonna go now...

Just a little tid-bit i forgot from the how we met story

So on the way walking to Gustavo's house my friend Lindsey said "Afton , you can have Lucas...I want Gustavo." HAHAHA guess who got Gustavo?" (Lucas was his old roomie)

Baby it's cold... INSIDE???

So , the weather here in Georgia is finally cooling off... no where near the temperatures in Utah mind you , but still it's cold enough for me to be freezing and wonder how i EVER survived in Utah at this time of year...this is the weird thing though...it's colder INSIDE my house than it is OUTSIDE... seriously...it could be snowing inside my house..My water was on the hottest setting ever for my bath tonight... yet when i got in , it felt Great , not hot like usual.You know how like you'll be swimming in a cold swimming pool and then decide to get into a hot tub , how it feels good? yeah that's how it felt stepping into the tub tonight...so I just wanted to share..

How we met...

I remember the day very clearly...ok maybe not the actual date , it was the beginning of september. My new found Friend Lindsey Ryther had been talking about what seemed to be 2 different guys, because she called him a different name everytime she talked about him... I thought there was Carlos and Gustavo...but when i asked she told me they were the same person...I was completely confused. well one night we got EXTREMELY bored and Lindsey said, why dont we call up Carlos...I'm sure he'd let us come over and hang out because we're friends...but let's call him on your phone...( so really we're lucky he picked up) We talked to him and he said it was ok if we came over...we walked to his apartment and he came out and just sat with us on the stairs. we talked for a while... I thought he was SO CUTE and HOTT!!! he thought nothing of me. It was love at first sight for me...Nothing on his side...lol. Gustavo asked us if we wanted to watch a movie and we said why not? so we all went in and sorta watched some movie...I was having fun with the fan and not paying attention to the movie really...I'm A.D.D give me a break. eventually we left , which is a whole other story. The next day , we realized we had the same english class together...crazy!! we had it together for 2 weeks , it was a class of 18 and we had NEVER noticed each other before? anyways after finding that out we started sitting next to each other and became friends.(in his mind BAHAHA) so eventually a dance rolled around and i asked him to go...he came and we had fun... but that night i was like WHEN ARE YOU GONNA ASK ME OUT?!?! so he finally was like oh..." you wanna come over for dinner?" i was like duh...!!! at that dinner we shared our first kiss...it was pretty amazing... the rest is really history...it's been almost 13 months now...a year later and we're still madly in love...and planning a future together...the end:)

I am DYING...

Here's the summary of my day ...I went to bed at 6am this morning....woke up at 10 am this morning... i am running a full day on 4 hours of sleep...NO BUENO!!! i am dying of sleepiness... mommy wouldnt let me have a nap...i want to cry...

Ok my final decisions as far as my wedding outfit n stuff

So here is what i've decided to be my definite wedding attire and all that jazz. the hair style i wanna tweek a bit so that there are little tendrils in some places...those of ya'll who have seen the music video for Love Story, will know what i mean. this hairstyle is as close as i can get to that ;)Oh and i'm deff not gonna have that stupid ribbion :(

Missionaries!!! :)

I swear the Elders from our ward stop by our house and ask to talk to me at least every other week... not that I mind , I guess that's what happens when you make the Elders your BEST friends.. anyways , I just love how The Missionaries always managed to come when i am in my Pajamas... You see , this set is ...Better looking than most of the past Elders... well since we have 2 set's of missionaries ...wait this one is going to need a little explaining. ok here goes : our ward decided that for some reason we needed to sets of missionaries. So for awhile we had 2 sets of Elders , a cute set and a not so cute set. well transfers rolled around and they kept one cute elder and one of the not cute elders...and then transfered in a set of sister missionaries (BLAHHHH) anyways so this is how it goes down...the missionaries stop by and the cute missionary that stayed ( The one who i made friends with ..and his old companion) Well his face just LIT up into this HUGE smile when he saw me.. made me pretty happy ...anyways they just wanted to talk to me about this prayer list thing... I wish i could've invited them in because it was raining today ,but after be chastised at 11 i've been scarred for life. anyways , i've had this thing for missionaries ever since i was 2...and when i explained my delimma to my bestie liz , and she explained it like this... Missionaries have this "glow" we shall call it , that attracts everybody to them ... so Maybe that's why i've always liked Elders :)

More Pics sorry :)

So here are the pictures of the Boquets I want... the first 2 are simply the styles that i'm torn between. the third is what i want for my bridesmaids...all 5 maybe 6 of them , depending on where my Reception is :) but that style for the bridesmaids but maybe a smaller version of it ? lol the colors of the flowers totally depend on if i get my December wedding... if i dont , i'm gonna go for a spring wedding... if i have a December wedding we'll go with red flowers and such... if I Have to have a spring wedding , then we're gonna go with a Boysenberry/Maroonish color :P I know what i mean :)

Oh the Joys!!!

So ,I have so many things I want to talk about , but i guess i'll start with my deepest secret that i'm sure is no surprise to anybody... if anybody has heard me talk about My relationship with Gustavo , you'll definately know our 2 year time table...lol if you want to call it that. Just in case you havent, here's what it is basically...So Gustavo will be on his mission until August/September of 2010 maybe July/August of that year depending on if his mission Prez. will let him go a month earlier for school...(Go figure the girl who despises school would marry a guy who LOVES school)anyway he'll be back around that time , we'll be officially Engaged around Sept/Oct ? (i'm sure he'll surprise me...) (actually what would really surprise me if he stepped off the plane and proposed)lol. anyways and on December 26th 2010 , we'll get married (Everybody cross your fingers , this is the date I want and i'm sure since he loves me he'll want that too) So in all reality i'll only have i dunno 4ish months to prepare for the wedding of my dreams...(i've had alot of time to dream about it lol)well this is my secret... I secretly look at dresses and EVERYTHING... and i've got pretty much everything down to where i want to live prepped (I mean i'll have to look at the certain apartments with him later :) )I'll post the pictures of everything up later...well ok everything i have pictures for:) ok and here is the second part of what i wanted to talk about... i love my sisters , really i do. LOVE LOVE LOVE them...the downside to having 2 sisters is that the brush is always missing... clothes are borrowed... lol it's just hard, i'm going to sleep tonight with my hair not brushed because my brush is MISSING ...yes that's right my purple brush is M.I.A. It is slightly annoying.anyways that's my frustration with sisters, now for my happy news again. i LOVE music... more than anything,i feel like i can explain how i feel better through music than anything else in the world. so I love learning about music..I was talking to Gustavo's brother Santi last night and he told me about all this music i should download... I totally looked for all of it on facebook and downloaded every single song he suggested.I'm glad i'm marrying into a family who's music tastes are similar to mine ,almost identical...?(Gustavo has some...interesting...music and Santi has made me dislike Bob Marley with a passion...lol he's not bad , i just heard it for too long while Santi visited)But I loved all of the music Santi suggested last night so i'm pretty stoked. I love everything Bolivian at the moment... i'm SUPER HAPPY that the LOVE OF MY LIFE loves me just as much and wants to marry me :)Te amo Gustavo!!

Cake is GREAT!!

ok ... so not really . In all honesty i HATE cake ... but i do love me some Cake MIX... and even more weird is that i love CUPcakes...so my sisters and i are learning how to cook ( apparantly mom found it necessary ) so we made homemade chicken pot pie and decided we wanted cupcakes for dessert... We made the cupcakes and whatever mix was leftover , we ate ...and it was good . :) On a completely different note .... Colby was like " I'm from kettlecorn Kansas" to which i replied " is there really a kettlecorn Kansas?" Brett then told me " For reals there is" so i then told my family that i'm going to move there and have a kid . Brett said yeah and name him " Jimmy crackedcorn" I said that was a brilliant idea so i would have 2 boys there and name them : Jimmy Crackedcorn... and...I dont care! so when ever somebody asked me what my kids names were i could say jimmy cracked corn and i dont care!!! BAHAHAHAHA

I'm SCARED!!

Sorry , but I had to take a moment to write down my worries... I'm scared. Mostly i'm scared that Gustavo will wake up one day and NOT love me anymore. Nobody really understands why i'm so worried about this , and sometimes i'm not even sure why but today has been one of those days where i feel like nobody else really loves me and i'm just worried that the day will come when Gustavo will wake up and think to himself " I dont love her" and it breaks my heart just thinking about it. I mean i guess the phrase :"you dont know what you have till it's gone " is right. I didnt know how in love with Gustavo i was until he left , and now i'm afraid that one day he'll decide he just doesnt love me. I'm all of the sudden crying again, and i just cant stop. I wish he was here , and i wish he could just smile my fears away. but he's not. I dont want to sound like i complain all the time because i dont , and lately time has gone by faster. like seriously it feels like just yesterday it was monday , not thursday. I just want Gustavo to come home. I think that's the only time when i'll be perfectly content knowing he loves me still... Wow , this was really long and i still dont feel much better.

My Ghetto Car

True life i have a ghetto car.Why you may ask ? well i dont need the keys to drive it anymore ... i only need them to open the door and keep the steering wheel from locking up... how do i start my car you ask ? I pull a lever... well I have to push it kinda. It's quite adorable and neat-o , i can't lie ... i think i like my car better NOW than i did when it was all in one ( well relatively one) piece.. :) haha just thought i'd share

Color Schemes .. and some Ideas

Ok like i promised here are the following designs .. First the bedroom : I'm thinking Black and red .. Mabye a Black comforter like this one and some red sheets ? Then for my Living room i was considering Brown and Black inspired by a Rug in my room that I hope to take with me after I leave home ? The couch is black with a Lighter brown that matches the brown in the rug i have perfectly and then i was hoping for some cute Black end tables and maybe a small black coffee table too . My Bathroom i Want to be Black red and White ... the towels will be Black and red.. and hopefully the counters will be white hehe... And my Kitchen is going to be White , a Lime-ish Green , and A close to Mahogany Brown .. Like green towels and what not , and Brown chairs , and again White counters ... It will be beautiful and elegant . ;)

Rough week ... only Tuesday...haha

So this would be the second week where i've had a rough week and it's only tuesday ... true life. Anyways since I have a headache , no job , my car's broken, my love is in California ,I decided instead of focusing on all the terrible things going on this week , i'm going to Decide the Colors for my Future Home with Carlos Gustavo ... my prince . Now I know it's 2-ish years down the road , but i need something positive to think on ..And Gustavo usually is my happy topic . (Except for yesterday ... monday.) So , I've only got 2 rooms planned ,but they will be beautiful . i will post up some maybe ideas once i have the other 2 rooms planned ... so yah. Bye.
P.s. I LOVE LOVE LOVE interior design , picking out color schemes and putting furniture in a beautiful arragement makes my day.

He's always with me ...

Not many people know , but my little sister Brett was in a car accident on September 23rd. It was crazy and i was scared and crying and just a mess. She's ok , but just the thought that i could've lost my sister forever had me scared. I needed somebody to talk to and i wanted that somebody to be Gustavo , but i had no way of letting him know. well the week goes by uneventfully and life goes on. well Yesterday ( Saturday) I got a letter from my Gustavo . and on the entry dated wednesday the 24th , gustavo wrote :"I have a feeling that something is not right. Are you ok?" well the fact that amazed me is no I wasnt ok. the previous day's activities were still kinda having their affect on me. Gustavo had no idea what had happened , yet somehow he knew something was wrong with me here in Georgia. I am so glad that the Lord has blessed me with a Man/Missionary , that knows my needs. It is so obvious to me that the Lord knows us and has plans unknown to us ... for us. I am glad that Gustavo went on his mission ,and i'm already reaping the blessings because of it . It was a event i needed to strengthen my testimony of the Lord , and the Lords way of letting me know he is ever mindful of me. I'm so glad to have the gospel in my life , because of it I can marry my best friend for all time and eternity ... I just wanted to share my cool story! Love you Gustavo... now and forever!

Bolivians are awesome

I think i was born in the wrong country... the wrong ethnicity.for as long as i can remember i have wanted to be latin... then i met a latin ...Gustavo. and fell in love with latin... all over again. now i'm talking to Gustavo's best friend in Bolivia , and i'm loving latins .... even more... i have not met a Latin i didnt like yet. Ahhh.... Latins are amazing... I cannot wait to marry gustavo and have half latin kids... I always liked latins , i just never expected to actually end up with one... oh em gee.... yes. Bolivians are amazing

Sweet Afton

I think my favorite part of this song by NickelCreek is "Flow Gently Sweet Afton" I'm not quite sure , but i guess it kind of describes my personality .. in my opinion anyways. I'm pretty much go with the flow and what not. Maybe not . I just really like this song for some reason.

Gah...stupid Dreams

So last night i had the hardest time getting to sleep. I was very tired, but something was wrong so i'm praying and Begging just to get some sleep. Well of course i finally get to sleep who knows when , and I have this very realistic ,VERY GOOD dream... about my Gustavo... I mean it was nothing big , we had just gotten married ( which i'm very much looking forward too, getting to spend eternity with him is fine with me:)) anyways... we were just being all excited about being married in my dream , and then he said he had to go to the bathroom ...just like that he left and the dream was over.. and i was sad. talk about very mean... to dream about my love who i wont get to see for another 22ish months...I felt cheated.I dont know quite what to make of this dream... But i'm glad we're down to 22 months now!! it seems like just yesterday he left ... of course i havent seen him since July so , it feels like July when he left , not August.lame

All the good things!!

So i just got done hanging with my besties Liz Felsted and Michael Kyle... we watched dirty dancing , the office, sat around ,colored,joked , and planned an awesome halloween party... Movies,Pixie Stix , Energy drinks , GIANT HOMEMADE PIZZAS. the works. anyways , amid this party i made Liz smell the wonderful smell of Gustavo's cologne... and basically we BOTH melted. you don't even understand. the love of my life has the SEXIEST cologne on the planet. she even thinks it smells better than her boyfriends cologne... what's his cologne you wonder? SWISS ARMY... oh goodness... talk about the smell of heaven. IT'S AMAZING.To top it off We listened to David Archuleta's CRUSH... Love it . if you smell the cologne while listening to that song... you are a GONER!!! well i'll post a picture of both , because i'm in love with it ... yup yup yup. Well i'm gonna go now. k bye

ARGHHH

So i cant get on facebook , and it's making me mad... i cant wait a couple of hours to get onto my profile!! on a good note though , gustavo and i got to email back and forth for about 40 minuites which made me happy .. I love hearing from him and i love to hear him tell me "te amoo mi princesa" It makes me smile and miss the days when i could actually hear his voice telling me that as he held me in his arms ... oh goodness ... these 2 years are going by fast yet dragging on at an unbearable pace all at the same time... GRRR

A past midnight music miracle

So it's like 2:30 am , i cant sleep so i'm on youtube watching random junk. I'm not quite sure how i stumbled upon this particular video , but i was left amazed and begging for more. If you are as big of a music fanatic as i am i STRONGLY suggest you youtube The Priests and listen.... The priests are 3 well...Priests in the catholic (I'm assuming) religion, and listening to them sing was like listening to a heavenly choir... they just signed a contract to record their songs , so you know who i'll be looking for in stores now... well ok just signed being in like may. anyways... I'm so in love with these 3 Men right now, or at least their musical talent that i wish i had.

A good Chick Flick

So today I watched Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen on the Disney channel , ( I know ,bad me ) and you know what ... it worked wonders!!! I was having a kind of bad day ... nothing big , i just didnt feel good and all that jazz. I had never seen this movie and it was coming on , so i decided to watch it. It was actually pretty good. I just wanted to share my exciting news and raving about what good a chick flick can actually do for the soul. not to mention i LOVED the music in the movie , because if you're anything like me ,the music in the movie is partially what makes the movie so good. anywho , just wanted to wish everybody a happy sunday.

It's our 1 year anniversary.

So... today is my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend... I know to some that's not that long, but it's amazing we've been together this long considering about half of it has been long distance. It wouldn't even be that big of a deal except for unlike every other anniversary Gustavo can't even call me on this one. He's on his mission right now in California so he's going to miss every anniversary until our 3 year anniversary (because yes i'm waiting ) So right now i'm feeling very lonely and what not . I guess the good side is hey ... he only has 23 months left until he gets back so i'm that much closer to seeing him again! I just wanted to give a one sided shout out to my Gustavo , to tell him how much i love him and miss him , and to let him know i'm thinking of him every day!!!

My first post EVER!!

So , i'm kinda new to this whole blogging thing , but it seems like everyone and their cousin has a blog and seeing how i love to write notes about nothing on facebook , it seemed like the perfect thing for me to do! I don't know if anyone will ever read these , but i figured i read other peoples blogs so surely there is someone out there who loves reading blogs as much as i do. I'm pretty excited about my new blog and can't wait to make my way in the blogging world!
