OUR NEW NIECE!

Yesterday I got a text from my sister-in-law Carolyn saying she was in the hospital. I was hesitant whether we should go up because I didn't know if it was going to be a false alarm! Well I'm so glad we went because Carolyn did perfect timing! We arrived around 7:30 and the nurse said she was in labor and to wait in the waiting room, so we went to wait and I got to see all the babies. Then I got a text from Abi saying the baby was born! The nurse said if she would have sneezed or coughed the baby would have came out! SO LUCKY! We got to meet Hailey Brooke Soto! Mommy and baby are doing well! Carolyn didn't even look or seem like she just had a baby! We are so glad we got to be there and share some laughs with them!

Why is it so difficult?

I'm trying to manage my time but I feel like I'm failing. It's so hard and especially with my personality that strives on being the best. Right now my schedule is:

Monday-Work
Tuesday-School
Wednesday-School and Work
Friday- Work
Saturday- Work

And at the sametime I'm trying to be a great student, a better wife and fulfil my wifely duties, fullfilling my church calling,trying to control my immune system, hoping that I don't have Rhematoid Arthritis (which I should find out soon!), and taking care of Chloe.

It might not seem like a lot but I feel very overwhelmed. I think mostly its because I talk to people who either 1. Their parents pay for everything like school, car, etc. 2. I want to go out and play, but when I do I feel guilty and think I should be studying.

I guess writing this post isn't helping me with my time since in a few minutes I will be taking a midterm and then an hour after that another one=)

Home Alone!

So Scott had to go to a class for work this weekend. He was only gone from Friday 6pm- Saturday 8pm so I would call that in total a day? lol. Basically it was my first night alone and sleeping by myself in 6 months. I'm not going to lie I don't do good by myself, I get anxiety sometimes and I hate to admit that I'm afraid of the dark. I must be growing up though because I totally had so much fun doing nothing! I watched wife swap and super nanny, and played on the computer. When it came time for bed I arranged all the pillows around me (maybe I shouldn't be admitting this lol), slept with my glasses on, cell phone in one hand, and the night light on). After about 2 hours I realized I was fine and took off my glasses threw the pillows off, and grabbed Chloe to come lay with me. We had a perfect night to ourselves! I can't say Chloe had the greatest time, I bugged her the whole time...I call it pay back b/c she does that to me =)

Couple weeks ago...

We had my sister-in-laws baby shower. Everything worked out and was very cute. I'm glad I got to contribute on that special day!

We also had a wonderful opportunity to go to Conference. We went to the Saturday after noon session, there was I able to see my friend Dani (haven't seen her in months!). It was such a spiritual weekend. We then went over to see where some of the Fisher's were buried in Utah and met up with my father-in-laws cousin, Sherry. We had such a great weekend and we feel so blessed!

Interesting....

So Scott and I have been to like 5 weddings since we have been married. It seems that everyone was so polite in feeding their spouse cake! Now I never expect anything less from Scott, but I thought at least someone else would receive what I got!! Here is a picture of Scott Fishers steps in feeding me cake...

1. First cut the cake

2. Pretend to fed your wife a slice of cake

3. Smash the piece into your wifes face and making sure it goes everywhere and in her nose.

4. Have the laugh of vicotory while you look at your wife

5.

Chloe =)

Chloe,

You cry when I shut doors for privacy. We put the "No Scratch" spray like everywhere so you don't scratch, but instead you lick it and scratch everything to death. You knock over everything and think its funny as you put your butt in the air and run away. You go crazy and start growling as you run into walls. You jump on the counter when you know your not supposed to. You jump the walls and I think its because you get bored. You always greet Daddy every day and pur for him. You like to snuggle by him and play with him. I hope cat you understand that I'm the one who cleans your poo, feds you, and makes my hand available for you to bite. I do love you Kitty and I'm glad you ended up in our home =)

Busy Weekend

So my lovely friend Britney introduced me to Twilight back in November. I finished all three books in 1 week and I felt that I needed to share them with others also =) Two in particular that I shared them with was my sister in laws. So we planned on going to the Premiere at the bookstore and receiving the book at 12 midnight! Well I decided to take a nap for only 10 minutes...then Scott came in to bug me....then we both ended up falling asleep. So I woke up at 10 in a panic. I ended up picking one of my sisters up and then we all meet at the Fisher house and drove over. The average age was hmmmm about 15? There were a whole bunch of girls/guys screaming out of control, dressed up, and had face paint. We got our numbers which were 199, 200, and 201. We patiently waited in line for I think 45 minutes? I can't really remember, but we ended up getting the book and it was only $14 I couldn't believe it! By the time I got home, Scott was patiently waiting for me and wanted to say prayers and read. I told him he could read me Breaking Dawn, but he preferred the scriptures =) So by the time we finally got settled it was 2! I think that's the longest I've been up for a long time =)



Saturday came and I was extremely exhausted. I woke up really fast hurrying to get ready for the temple. Our friends Shawn and Shannon were receiving their endowments at 1:30. Well we left at 10 and about half way there...more like 90% way there...I realized I forgot my recommend. Now this is very bad bad bad on my part because I ALWAYS ask Scott " Do you have your recommend?" and he ALWAYS says "Are you really asking me that Christie, this is like the 4th time." So low and behold I forgot mine and my loving husband will never forget that =) We had a wonderful opportunity to escort both Shawn and Shannon. It was a great session and by the end of it I was starving, so we ended that spiritual note with In-N-Out.
