I just bought tickets to Cancun!
Bill and I are going to Cancun in April after school gets out! Woot, woot! We're so excited! The best part is that we only have to pay for our tickets there and everything else is paid for by a trip we won. Woohoo! Tickets are super cheap right now and we got both our tickets for about $650, as opposed to the $1100 we saw just a couple weeks ago. Yay for prices going down!

Mary Kay
Last week I decided to start selling Mary Kay. What with hoping to be in grad school in the Fall (I'm still waiting to hear back from my program), and not being able to work during the year if I do get in, I feel like I need a different way to earn money that I can do on my schedule instead of set hours. I've been using Mary Kay products for years, and I love them, so I figured it was a good option. If you want to buy some products, I can hook you up. Or I can do a free facial for you so you can try out the products. They're pretty awesome, so I highly recommend it. Just drop me a line if you're interested.

On a brighter note...
So although I'm feeling exceptionally poor today, it is nice to actually have the time to blog about last weekend. My parents and Bill and I caravaned out to the Springs on Friday to be there in time for our open house on Saturday. We decorated the church Friday night with the help of some wonderful friends that still live there. Nannette and Clay Jones hosted the weekend for us and they were just so generous and wonderful about everything! We stayed at their house all weekend and Clay made us the most amazing salmon Saturday night! What a great family they are.
After decorating on Friday, Bill and I headed over to the Black's house to spend some time with Kirsten, my best friend, who also drove in for the open house. It was so wonderful to get to spend some time with her! She just moved to Craig, CO from Texas so I'm very glad that she's closer by so we can go visit them. I wish we could always live near each other, but sadly, that's definitely not the case.
Ever since my parents moved to Utah last year, I've felt just a little displaced. I wasn't really sure what to call home anymore, because I've now lived in Utah for almost as long as I lived in Colorado. Going there this weekend totally sealed the deal for me. I'm definitely a Coloradan at heart and am always going to be. I love that place!
Saturday morning I took Bill to Garden of the Gods. We didn't get to stay for very long, but we did hike around a little bit. Rock climbing there is a reason unto itself to make a trip back to the Springs.
The open house turned out great. Not too many people were able to make it, but that was actually nice because we got to talk more in-depth with the ones that did come. It was really nice and just an awesome trip. After the open house we had a good time opening our presents. We've gotten more presents over the last few weeks that I've gotten in years. It's been a fun month, that's for sure.

Who knew you could catch the flu through the Internet!
So I came home from work last night feeling rather poorly. I'd spaced out my eating throughout the day a little far, plus I'd stopped by the gym and exercised on the way home, so I thought my body was just signaling to me that I needed to eat and it was unhappy with me. The being unhappy with me part was true, but not for the reason I thought. By the time I got home I had a pounding headache and was feeling nauseous. I get the flu so rarely that I really didn't recognize the symptoms at all until I tried to eat several times throughout the evening and progressively threw it all up.
Last night was pretty much the longest night of my life. I didn't throw up anymore, but sleep didn't come so easily and it was just miserable. I was hoping to be better today but no such luck. I've spent the day mostly camped out on my couch sleeping as doing anything else seems to trigger me throwing up again. Not fun! Hopefully this is one of those 24-hour bugs and it will be gone later today, but it's sure hanging around for the moment. I think the last time I threw up was probably 5 years ago. It just doesn't happen to me. I get lots of other kinds of sick, but not nauseous. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I'm pregnant, because I pretty much hate this feeling with a burning passion.
My parents were super nice to stop by and bring me some groceries so that I could find something to eat. It was really nice to have them come. They moved to Utah a little over a year ago, and having them so close in the area is awesome!
So I've decided to place blame on my sister Tori and her family for this sickness. They are currently suffering from the flu themselves, all the way out in Pennsylvania, and she blogged about it last night. I didn't get sick until after I read it, so that obviously means that the flu can be contracted through the Internet. I even got a flu shot this year! So much for that. Just kidding! I actually feel really bad for her, as I think they're strain is quite a lot worse than mine. All I can say is, "I know how you feel little sister!"
