I don't deserve a blog.

I am pathetic. I haven't updated this thing in like over a month! I know everyone is super annoyed at looking at the same post every time they come to my blog, i know I am. Well i am turning a new leave. I am going to blog a lot more now. It's a new goal! So Here is my birthday post. I am going to make these "catch up" post short and sweet so we can get the the WHAT GOING ON IN SELENA AND RUSSELL'S LIVES RIGHT NOW NOT A MOTH AGO POSTS. So here goes.

My birthday was way fun. Russ got the day off and I was so excited (We NEVER have days off together, always working). Anyways, so I woke up to a big PINK poster board card made only by my sweet husband. It told me all the plans of our whole day today (because he planned it hour by hour). It was so cute! First on the agenda was that we were going to ride bikes to breakfast, Denny's to be more specific. I love riding bikes and you all know i love food. So that was pretty fun!

Then off to do some shopping at the gateway and we saw How to Train Your Dragon in 3D! It was soo funny! I really enjoyed it! After that me and my friends (Paul, Ruthie, Amy, Marcus and the girls, Cody, Jake, Dallin and Merinda) went to the Pirate Islad Pizza Kitchen for some pizza and KARAOKE! We sang Fergie's "Fergalicous" song and I saw some of the girls (especially Cody) bust out some moves I have never seen before. It was basically amazing. Then off to Dallin and Merindas house for some banana pudding that Russ made (for the first time for my birthday). It didn't settle all the way, it was a little liquidy, but still good. Good job Babe. =-) I loved my birthday!








That was my birthday in a nutshell. now I am 25. Man that sounds old. Ok only a month more to catch up in!

Dear Snow,

Dear snow,

You are ruining my summer.

Go away and don't even think about coming back until december.

I hate you.

Don't show your face again.

You do not belong here.

Goodbye.

selena

So I got up this morning to this.

9:30am

Depressing huh?

This is MAY for crying out loud! Seriously! I am not happy with this AT ALL!

But the worst part is.....

this is what it looked like when I came home from work.

7:00pm

MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY WEATHER! You are driving me CRAZY!

Update.

Well I know I have been slacking like crazy with this blog. But I haven't been quite so sure what to blog about. Life is changing pretty quickly. Things are happening that I didn't plan. Not necessarily bad things, but it just catches me off guard. I am one that plans my life like one year in advance. Where will I be in year? Well, I thought I had a pretty good idea. Working for Highlite, living in Utah until Russ graduates. Move to Arizona. Buy a house, get a dog and start a family. Well, now my last day at Highlite is June 3rd. We are moving back to Arizona for June and July. Russ is working for my dad/ doing an internship type thing while we are down for the summer. I am going to start my own photography business for real now (scarry!) and then we move back to Utah to finish up Russ' schooling. I will find a new job, who knows what it will be, and we tough it out until we get to move back home to Arizona for real next April. Not too bad, I still in the end end up where I want to be, just have to figure out a few things until then. Let's start the adventure. I will see all you arizonians soon! I miss all of you!

Here is a picture I took while I was down for mollies wedding of some of the fam! Look how big my nieces and nephews are! So cute!

Fattness

Why do we girls always complain about how fat we are. I always ask Russ "does this make me look fat?" "Is this too tight?" "Is my stomach getting bigger?" I have always fluctuated in my weight and I am sick of it. I have almost gained back the 10 lbs I lost last November. Can't I just exercise consistently? Can't I just eat healthy always? Can't I have fast metabolism? The fact is that I like to eat, I have slooowww metabolism and i Hate exercising. And I am married to a man that likes to eat more than I do. So it is a lose lose situation. I have never been a very active, sporty person ever; in fact I am not very coordinated so i do not enjoy physical activities. I wish being on the computer would burn calories because I would be one hot mama. It also doesn't help that this Utah weather will not cooperate and just get warm already. I still just want to snuggle in my blankets and never get out of bed and hibernate away forever. I wish we had windows in our apartment. Living in a basements deprives you of natural light and I think that makes you more sluggish. I can sit here and complain all day about how I feel fat but what I really need to be doing right now is doing something about it. What do you do when you hate exercising, you like food, you have slow metabolism? I don't know. Russ does not ever want to exercise with me either. But do you know what girls do when they are depressed with their weight. they eat more....

Spring is Here

Although we have had a few cold weird days, I think the weather has finally started to turn. The trees are in bloom and the earth is turning green and smells like flowers!! This is one thing i LOVE about Utah. I think i may even like spring better than the fall. The blossoming trees are my favorite part! I am obsessed with them! Russ and I took a walk in this park in downtown Salt Lake to enjoy the beauty of the spring blooms! I wish it could always look this pretty (or maybe we can get Arizona to look this pretty, i would be in HEAVEN). We decided to have our own photo shoot. it's been a while since i have posted one of those!

Then Russ and I and a few friends when to the beautiful campus of BYU to check out the blooms there. I don't know why but the white trees smell SICK. We decided they smell like fish. IT's gross but they are pretty. We had some fun looking around and hanging out there.

I'm definitely ready for some warmer weather because the summer here is so nice. now why are we coming down to phoenix agin in the hottest months? uggghhh....you win some you lose some....

The Cereal Monster

I have a lot of blogging to catch up on and I was really excited to blog about these pictures. One day Russ an I ran a few errands. He dropped me off at the tanning salon and when he picked me up I asked him what he did in the meantime. He had gone to the grocery store to pick up a few items and he saw a sale. $5 for 5 BOXES of cereal. Pretty good huh? If you know Russ he is a crazy person when it comes to eating his cereal. He HAS to eat cereal in the morning and he HAS to eat like 3 bowls or something like that. So as Russ looks at this sale he automatically grabs 5 boxes of cereal. Then he thinks to himself, this sale is so amazing, it's even cheaper than the off brand cereal. A combination of a good sale (which russ is a sucker for) and brand name cereal means that Russ is in heaven.

so he grabs 15 boxes of cereal.

I was like WHAT THE HECK!?!?! Holy cow!!!

Wow Russ, you really like your cereal don't you.....

So i made him take these pictures. He should have seen that coming.

So we obviously had cereal for dinner that night.

Oh those husbands....you gotta love them....

Guess we will be eating cereal for every meal for the next little while.

A new post---the friends...

By Special Request of Allison Barry I am going to make a new post. My picture taking has been pathetic lately. I haven't taken any pictures!! Weird huh? I am either slacking like crazy or there is really nothing interesting to take pictures of lately (or maybe a little bit of both). Life is a bit crazy right now. Just trying to figure out what to do with my life. So far, we are moving down to AZ in June and July then back up to Utah so Russ can finish up with his schooling. So if anyone wants pictures while we are down let me know! =-)

We've been hanging out with friends lately, we enjoyed a great Easter feast at Cody and Jakes. Eating Hamburgers and hot dogs while watching conference. It was great! I keep forgetting to make Russ an Easter basket. I bought one for him last year then I didn't have time to buy things to fill it up. now this year i just plain didn't even try.....I know i'm pathetic. Well I am going to post some random pictures that I have taken in the last litle bit.

This is (from left to right) Paul, Jake, Ruthis, Russ and Cody. I love that my husband is the most Spazy. We went on a walk when it wasn't that cold outside one night. i love this pic.

Ruthie and some friends from our ward decided to do a random photoshoot. It was pretty funny.








I never blogged these beauties. A few weeks ago, me, lacey and becky went to Prescott to go to my amazing friend Mollie's bridal shower. I love her so so so so so much! She is getting married April 24th!! It's almost here! I am a bridesmaid (and our dresses are BEAUTIFUL!) Anyways here are a few pictures from her shower. I can't wait for her and Spencer to get married!! I'm soooo happy!










About 2 weekends ago Russ, and I and Cody and Jake took a little drive to a ghost town called Eureka! It was a fun time. We packed a lunch (Russ forgot the bread) and set up to have a picnic down there. It was beautiful weather when we left Provo (i was wearing shorts) and when we got to Eureka (about 45 minutes away) there was freakin snow on the ground (don't worry, i was prepared, i brought pants!). That pretty much blew our good picnic weather plans. Anywhoo we went looking for ghosts and took lots of pictures! It was pretty fun, it reminded me of jerome in AZ (but jerome is way better)....Here's a few pictures from that adventure....

And that is all the excitment in the Sorensen life right now. We will keep you updated!
