Alex and Lori

Alex and Lori are two of my favorite people in Texas. I love them. They rock my world!!!

Peace!

Look at those faces

Yeah, we are cute.

Me and Hershey. He is a real dog. Just in case you were wondering if he was a stuffed animal. He is that stinkin' cute!

I don't know...

Decisions

Decisions, decisions. I don't know what to do. I am torn. Divided. I have been thinking more about moving. I love where i live, and i love my ward, but i just feel like i waste so much time driving. and i don't like putting so many miles on my new car. it makes me sad. i could save about $100 a month on gas, and less oil changes, and have more of a life. but then i wonder if i would actually use the time wisely. i tend to think i wouldn't. i would probably just get more sleep. which is not all bad. and i would definitely spend more money, with apt costs, and utilities. i would have to buy a bed, and pay for Internet. My deciding factor so far has been my ward though. I was thinking how i could just stay in my ward and drive there once a week, which is less than driving 5-6 days week to work, but then i wouldn't live near anyone. and i would be less likely to hang out with them on weekends, etc. so i just don't know what to do.

Then today i had the option to change to a new team at work for a schedule that would allow me to go to FHE and make it on time to the temple once a month with my ward. but i would have to give up being on a team that i really like, for a team i don't know. i really like my manager who i learn a lot from and never gets frustrated with me when i ask a million questions. and i love all my team members. i spend way more time with these people than anyone else. and i had to choose today. so i based my decision on what i value more. In reality, i probably wont hang out with my team members outside of work. and i do spend a lot of time with them, but i can go to lunch with them, or go over and bother them throughout the day if i am bored...and i am sure the people on my new team are nice and i will get to know them, and like them. so i chose FHE and the Temple. I think it was a good choice, but i am still a little sad.

I have one more decision to make. Today i was presented with an option in May or June to switch to a west coast team. meaning i would work 10-7pm three days a week and 2-11pm 2 days a week. and every other Saturday. i did a similar schedule before, and while i got a ton of sleep, i had no life. none. seriously. i felt really lonely. there would be several days a week that i wouldn't see a single person i knew, outside of work. no one would be awake when i was home. but........the shift comes with a 10% raise!!! 10%!!!! i mean, that would be really nice. and i am not married and don't have kids, so it is not like i would be missing out on spending time with them, but still. i don't know what to do. both have pros and cons.

boo...for decisions.

Church Friends

A glimpse into my new life in Texas. These are some of my church friends.

Lori and me.

Charlie and me.

Dewy and me.

Me at the mall. Am i a cop or Chinese?

Lol. Yeah....

Me

One wall of my cube at work. Boiler up! Dont be offended if you dont see you up there. If you notice all the pictures have me in them. and i chose ones that i look good in. i guess, i love me. so i guess to get you up on my wall i need a pic of the us where i think i look good. send me one if you can find it, and i will definitely put it up. lol. i'm not really sure what to think of myslef right now. :)
This is me when my friend Alex did a cute braid in my hair like she had. it looked really cute on her. not sure what i think of it on me, but oh well. And i am tan here. yeahhhh!

Me, in the cutest car ever. leaving work.

Just after working out.

Just before working out.

Blake

Blake is my personal trainer. Today was workout #2 with her. Several times she asked me if i was having fun yet, just at the moment when i am sure i looked like i was going to crash and burn. I would just smile at her and say "oh yeah. tons of fun." She is a really nice girl, and she knows a lot of stuff. She kicks my butt every week, so i am glad she is my trainer. Today i didnt have the urge to cry...as much. i could still feel it coming on, but i wasnt in quite so much physical pain. which i am not sure if that is good or bad. i mean, dont get me wrong, i was definitely in pain, just not as much. :) Next week we are going to be working on my "core." Abs...uuuugggggh. Has anyone ever noticed how when you work out you have to move your body in all sorts of awkward positions? yeah, i dont like it. especially not at the gym where all the tredmills are upstairs overlooking the first level where i work out. *sigh* oh well. hopefully i dont know anyone else who works out there. :)

YouTube

All the Maine videos that I have are on YouTube now. I didn't post a few of them with Brad (when Amy and I went back the next summer for a visit) because I thought Brad may be embarrassed. We were trying to teach him how to walk like a girl. the really funny part about it is, is that Amy at one point said, "jut wait, someday you are gonna end up on the internet, and girls all over the world are gonna call you." Then Brad gave out his number on the video. I haven't talked to Brad in a really long time and I don't know if he still has the same number, but i don't feel good about putting them up without his permission. lol

If you search under my username: Almarox84 most of the videos come up. I uploaded 48, and only like 32 show up under my username. I can't figure out how to get them all to come up under one search. Anyone know a lot about YouTube and can help me out?

Enjoy!
