Any Ideas?

I want to chop my ear off!!!!!!!!!! Since Monday morning when I woke up, my right ear has been SUPER pressurized. And it has been since. It has not let any pressure escape... not even once and I am soooo annoyed. It hurts and all day I hear NOTHING! Today in music I was totally playing off pitch and I had no idea because I can't hear... haha! But in all seriousness I want the pressure to go away. I have tried everything. I have yawned a 1000 times, chewed a whole pack of gum, blown my nose, held my nose and blown, put drops in my ear, taken a hot shower, dumped water in my ear, chewed ice, layed on my ear, pulled on my ear a lot, and NOTHING has worked =(... Does anyone have any ideas???????? If this is not better by after school tomorrow I will probably have to go to the doctor or else I might only have one ear. (Sorry for complaining... I am annoyed =))

So long Farewell...

Yesterday was a big day for Rob, he said farewell to "jiggly puff" aka his ganglion cyst in his wrist. He has had it for about ten years and it has never really bothered him, so I guess he just decided to keep it. He had it drained before, but it came back. Two Christmases ago, he fall off his nieces bike, while he was trying to show everyone the cool moves he thought he had (hahaha) and it went away, but a few months after it came back bigger than ever. So, finally he decided to do something about it. Rob's only request to the doctor was that he wanted to see it after they took it out.... SICK! I am glad that I was not in the room. Rob is doing good, but his hand is swollen and bruised. It is his left hand (he is a lefty) so that is kind of annoying for him at the moment. Hopefully everything will get back to normal soon. Tomorrow he gets to take of the bandage, so we will see the real damage then.

After... when I got to see him.

He has no knuckles

Emma again...

I know that I just blogged about Emma, but since Shanna doesn't have a blog, I thought that I would share this picture that my Aunt Jill took. Emma is gorgeous! If you want to see two other pictures check out "The Branch Family" on the side!

Girl Fight....

PLUS

LOVE!!!!!!

....Well I guess I can't really girl fight sweet little Emma, but if she were older I might consider it. Emma has a HUGE crush on my husband. This crush of hers has been going on for a while. I didn't think that it would last this long.... maybe it is true love ;). Anyway, she constantly says Rob's name and gets all giggly and jittery when she knows he is coming to see her. She also frequently tells Shanna that Rob loves her or that She loves Rob. When he is around, she only wants to be with him. She could careless about me. Just tonight we went over to my parents for dinner and she was there. When she saw that I picked up my keys to leave she said, with no hesitation, "See ya," but then she realized that Rob was coming with me. She quickly got sad and didn't want him to leave.... Love hurts. Last week, I saw Emma without Rob and she said, "Rob?" (in her language that is "where is rob"). I told her that he was not with me. She then said "Rob crying." Shanna asked her why he was crying and she said "Rob miss Emma." She is sooo cute and for now he is her eye candy, so I guess I will have to share my man!

Fun Weekend!

This past weekend, Rob and I went up to Pinetop with my family. Saturday, Rob and I, as well as Justin, Daniel, and Brain, went snowboarding. We had a lot of fun. It was really warm, so we boarded all day without our jackets. The weather was great. Rob didn't think that he was going to be that warm, so I guess he just was too lazy to change out of his P.J. top in the morning and wore it under his long sleeved shirt. Once we got there he stripped down and just wore his P.J. shirt all day. You would have never known that had I not told you, but now you do.

This week and next week are midterms for us, so we are just dealing with that now, but then SPRING BREAK is right after. We are super excited to have a break, as always.

Enjoy the few pictures that we have....

Fun Wedding and More!

Last weekend Rob and I had lots of fun at my good friend Emma's wedding! She was such a beautiful bride and her and Danny looked soooo in love! Rob and I are both so excited for them. They had a lot of fun things at their wedding, but one of my favorites was the photobooth. Emma brought fun props and everyone had a blast taking pictures... here is the one that Rob and I took...
And here is one with Me, Emma, and Megan!
All of their pictures were taking by Spencer Boerup. He is a great photographer and is actually going to take Justin's senior pictures in like a week and a half. I think I am more excited then Justin is about it, but if you have never checked out his photos before you should definietly look at his blog (http://www.spencerboerup.com/blog/) It is amazing!

CONGRATS EMMA AND DANNY!!!

In other news, nothing too exciting is going on with Rob and I. Just back to the school thing. About two weeks ago Mandi had her baby, Aubrey, and we are so excited to have a new niece. I totally love little girls. I love my nephews too but there is something about little girls. Maybe it is because I never had a little sister. I always tell Rob I will die if I don't have at least one girl. They are so fun to doll up! On that same note, I also would die if I didn't have a cute little boy. But I am not worried about that now! Other then school, Rob and I have enjoyed being sick lately (haha NOT). In our new ward I got called to nursery, plus I work with kids during the week, plus I have started volunteering in Christi's classroom on Friday's and I think that all of those nasty germs that little children carry have jumped in my purse and come home with me. It is nothing horrible, but we are looking forward to no more runny noses and coughs!

These are the nasty germs that come home with me =)!

4 Things I was doing 10 years ago
1. I was 11, so I think that means I was in 5th grade.... and if I remember right this was the year I cut my finger open trying to cut carrots up for a baptism because my Dad decided to buy the normal carrots because they were cheaper then the baby carrots... this is why women do the shopping. (love ya Dad)
2. I was playing soccer and softball all the time.
3. I was a tom-ish boy and wore my hair in a pony tail everyday and only wore "Girls Rule" shirts. Totally not like me now. I wish I had been more girly.
