Life's Little Quirks

Well, as some of you know, I am a drama queen. Yes, yes, this means that sometimes the littlest stumbling block can be described as the huge rolling bolder of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Knowing this, I must apologize for my last blog and other blogs that I've written when I'm under stress. I always thought I could hide my true feelings through writing, but somehow, that has always proved wrong when I'm sad, depressed, stressed, teary, excited, or any other emotion. I guess it's a good thing in some ways. Bad in others, like when I wrote Esther a letter on her mission right after Aaron and I broke up for that four months (sorry about that Esther). Now that I know I have this ability, what will I do with it? I have no idea. The main thing I want to say is that I'm sorry the last few blogs are a little stressful, but I was stressed when I wrote them.

This last couple of weeks have been full of school, so as for fun stuff, there hasn't really been anything. We were going to go and hike another highest peak but couldn't. Hopefully we can do that this next weekend. So sorry there's not a new addition to our high points. I was also going to go with Aaron to watch the BYU football game with his old roommate, Joel. I had a quiz to take however. Luckily I am completely spoiled by Aaron and he took the metro to where the game was so I could drive up later. I missed the game (still happy that BYU won) but got to enjoy good company and good ice cream.

Well, Labor-day is tomorrow and hopefully if all goes well, I will get to read New Moon and Eclipse. Now, I also have to apologize. I meant this blog to be a family blog but I have tended towards talking about only me. Do I have a husband, you ask? Or am I just trying to make everyone think I do. Yes, Aaron is my sweetheart! I love him to pieces and he loves me to bits (he can hug harder than I can). I don't know if I could have found someone so faithful and so mellow. He never seems to worry if things will work out. He has so much faith. Well, he has faith in a lot of things, but he was a little worried whether I would actually take the amount of time I said I would when we spoke in church last week. We were speaking on the law of health. I really could probably have gone on forever, but 25 min was a good limit to make sure I kept it to gospel principles. His only downfall is that he spoils me rotten. I think I mentioned this in another blog but he needs to learn discipline so our kids don't get so spoiled. Little people already have him wrapped around his finger!

Aaron is doing fine. He had a crazy stressful week too. He had interviews with potential law firms all day Monday through Friday! Kudos to him because one interview gets me all flustered. I would probably go berzurk if I had that many. They were from places all around the country and in China. Crazy stuff!
Oh, I have a funny story about Chinese. So Aaron has been trying to teach me some Mandarin. While I never think I'll get the tones right, I did get two phrases down pretty well. I was teaching a nutrition lesson at an Asian sight and had to have a translator. I was talking to her after and told her my husband spoke Mandarin and had taught me how to say hello and some other phrases. She wanted to hear. So, of course, trying to say hello, I mixed up the phrases and said "I love you" instead. She laughed, I laughed, everybody laughed!
Anyway, Aaron just plugs away and is the best ever. Well, I think this is already a novel and this is when not much is going on.
