Just Another Day In Paradise.

Wow it has been so long since i've posted anything on here. Ok.. where to start... Tyson and I are still working two jobs each. It gets pretty crazy cause i he works til 6 everyday and i work from either 4 or 6 to 10 or 11, three days a week. Those days suck. Um.. Halloween was fun. We dressed up as greaser zombies and went to hang out with our friends Josh and Michele.. yeah, they were greasers! It was awesome. Funny story..

Anyway, Life is pretty good. Not to exciting but not super bad either. I've had a lot of personal struggles lately with watching people i really care about make the wrong choices. Its just tough because I really don't know how to go about voicing my emotions towards the situation. Idk. Whatever. So some good news! Tyson DID get an interview with the fire department!! They just couldn't get a hold of him! His interview is on Wednesday, November 9! We're so excited its retarded. XD I'm so happy for him.

My grandma is fighting breast cancer right now for those of you who didn't know. She got pretty bad for a while and was looking up but she's down again. Not too bad but not good either. She has had two treatments of kimo and needs two more. She is also doing radiation. Prayers are very much appreciated.

On a lighter note, my brother Dent will be home from Iraq in December!!! I'm so stoked!!! :) He'll be home for Christmas and I couldn't be more happy. I've missed him so much! And my sister Stephenie is getting married on the 12th of November :)

I don't really have anything to write about now.. so bye.

The happenin'

Its been so long since my last post! First off, i got a new job at Paradise Bakery :) I'll be making sammiches.. I'm only on part time for now. I'm still not certain of my hours but i'll be there Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday :) I'm super excited. The grand opening is on September 27th. For now i'm still at Amber Lyn full time. Hopefully i can stay part time when this other job starts up. Then i'll work Monday, Wednesday, Friday there. Hah. Its going to be busy!
So my grandma went into surgery for her breast cancer and made it out ok. She's doing surprisingly well. Healing very good and in good spirits. Funny thing though, on my way out i saw my high school choir teachers wife. She then waved me into the room.. Sure enough there was good ol' Mr. Lister. Turns out he chopped the tips of two of his fingers off in a lawn mower accident! O.o Poor guy. My heart truly goes out to him :/
All is well with Ty and I. We've been married 4 months now, but we just passed our 1 year mark in mid August! Yay! Life is so wonderful. Two of my most favorite people in the world are coming to stay with us this Labor Day weekend. The first two missionaries that taught me. Sister Page and Sister Mosley. Haha i need to get used to calling them Arica and Amber.. its too weird. But i'm super excited i can't wait to see them! Its been about a year since i've seen either of them but we try to talk often. 
Life is great. I've recently discovered i'm a bigger Harry Potter fan than i thought. Tyson and I have been catching  up on them and we only have one more to go! Its super intense and I love them :) (Also, if you have yet to read The Hunger Games series i highly recommend it. The movie comes out in March! Get on it!!) Well, thats all for now :) bye.

A lotta bit o' love :)

Well, I went to a wedding tonight and it remind me of when Tyson and I got married. :) We've been married for 3 months today and it has been so fun. We look so scared in some of our wedding pictures and I can't help but laugh because we plan and plan and hope for the day we get married and for so long its just a thought, an unattainable goal.. then, one da:y, its real. It came and went so fast i still think about planning it! But it was so. much. fun.
I can't wait for the day Tyson and I get sealed. Its going to be even better than the actually day of our wedding. By far. Marriage is such a special bond. I don't really understand how couples can get divorced, or how they can say they weren't meant for each other after all. Because when you get married its kind of like a leap of faith. You don't know what to expect, bills, work, school.. its a huge challenge and unless you're jumping in with the right one, why jump in at all? Its so fun to learn and grow WITH one another.
Tyson and I talk all the time about how we want all of our friends to be married. One: so we have friends again! And two: because its so much fun and it is so special. I love, love, LOVE! it!
Anyway, that's my spiel on that.  Basically Ty and I are living pretty happily ever after. There are struggles here and there but who doesn't have those? We're still working the same jobs. The only difference is my hours got cut so i'm now free Tuesdays and Thursdays (hint hint girlfriends!). My brother will be in Iraq soon. I'm not at liberty to say when or where. My grandma was just recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Many of  you know she's getting old and is not in very good health as it is. She goes into surgery on Tuesday, August 2. I'm pretty nervous. Basically they're going to take the cancer out of one of her breasts, put an implant in and give her a reduction on the other one. They're also going to take her lymph nodes out under her armpit. Then after she recovers they'll do a second surgery to fill it all in. She'll be doing radiation instead of kimo because its safer at her age. So please keep them in your prayers.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Life at its best!

Lately things have been pretty.. well, different i guess you could say. After Tyson and I got married it seemed that our social life has kind of been dragging. None of our old friends call or text us anymore.. we don't get invited to group parties anymore. Yeah, you get the point. Mostly we sit in our apartment and watch scrubs and make a mess :) Also, another lovely trait that comes with married life is being broke. If you plan on getting married anytime soon you may as well get use to it now. Even if we work, work... WORK. All the time. That is literally all we do.
But  honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Tyson and I are so happy together. Yeah we fight. Who doesn't. But its because we love each other and we're just stubborn. Its not about hanging out with friends anymore. And although it would be nice to have more money, we don't. Its a fact of life that we've come to deal with. And there is nobody else in the whole universe i would rather be going through all this stuff with except for Tyson. He is my one true love.
Tyson and I find the most random, fun, dorky things to do. Today we played hide and seek in our apartment for at least 20 minutes.. and it was SO fun! Its about the little things in life that make you happy. I think that when people really start to live for themselves and do what they feel is good for them they will truly find happiness. I've had my fair share of rough patches but i made it through because i followed my heart.. Heavenly Father doesn't make us go through things to hurt us.. He makes us face trials and things that are hard for us to deal with because He KNOWS that we'll take something from it. So be happy!

A Change of Pace..

So, this last week has been insane! First, my brother, Dent, who is one of my best friends got deployed to Iraq.On Thursday, June 2nd, they had a big farewell for all of the troops at the burns arena. It was really touching and patriotic. They had a lot of musical numbers and they said a lot of words of praise toward the soldiers letting them know how noble and honorable they are for doing this and we're all very proud of them. Then on Saturday.. we saw them off at the airport here in St. George. There were SO many people there. It was definitely a tough time. I'm so proud of my brother. He is so brave. But I can't wait until he's home again.

Second, basically my whole family moved out of town... so yeah.. that sucks. A lot. My Papa got a new job in Lehi so he moved there on Sunday. My sister Stephenie and my niece Jesenia moved to Provo. Dent left to Indiana obviously. And Britt moved to Oregon with Baby Dent and Devyn. And, lastly, Sheldon is out of town for a bit too. So basically its my brother Aaron and I. So i'm really missing my family right now. Ah! Its tough. 

On a lighter note, I love Tyson. Things are going great. Its almost been two months! I'm so excited! We're working with our bishop to get things set to get sealed in the temple next April. I. Can. NOT. Wait!! :D I love our Heavenly Father.! I love all of the opportunities He gives us here on Earth. Life is simply wonderful. 

Live. Laugh. Love. Life. --Lacey :) 

Forever and Always

So.. i have begun the journey of my happily ever after! With my one true love, Sir Tyson Blu :) I'm so happy with the way things have turned out! We were married April 30, 2011 :) Things are a blast. Being married rocks and i wouldn't change things for anything. Marriage is like a celestial unity between a man and a woman. It is so special and i'm so glad that i get to experience it this early in my life. Tyson and I live in St. George still but clear over on the other side of town by Lins :) I work at Amber Lyn Chocolates full time and he works there part time and at the Dixie State Store the other part of the day :) We are working our way to be sealed in the St. George temple on April 30th next year :D can't wait! We are happier than ever! and thanks for all the wedding gifts everyone, we love them all. The wedding was wonderful. I"m working on getting pictures up on facebook i just don't have them all back yet. Until next time my friends :)

peace. love. happy. music. the gospel.

Simplicity is where life begins.

Why do things always have to be so complicated. Sometimes i wish the world was different.. like if some things could be the way i see them in my head, maybe all this would go away. Things might actually be good for the first time in a while.. not that i'm not happy it just seems like something is always going on, ya know? For example, people getting involved in other peoples business and trying to make their life decisions for them when really its none of their business and they have no right to get involved at all.. Now that is frustrating hah.. I guess what i'm trying to say is that life would be so simple if people didn't put their nose where it doesn't belong. Simple is great. Simple is beauty. Simplicity is where life begins.
