Happy 2013??

"The Winter from Hell" is an understatement when describing the past 2 months. No seriously, grey is all we've experienced in 2013. Actually, I'm lying. There WERE those 5 days this year that showed signs of a big ball of gas floating somewhere out there in the universe....I think people call it "the Sun". I've forgotten this thing called "sun"....and "happiness"...

Wow, this tirade is getting weird.

You probably want news! Well here's some mind blowing news to remember this year by so far. Brace yourself for strange things:

1) Worst Utah winter since the 80's

2) Living in the worse air quality in the whole of America!

3) My dads business burning down. No, I'm not joking here, this did happen

4)I totaled my car...as in, I got in a car accident...and destroyed my car. Apparently it wasn't worth much anyway. I also got whiplash. That was fun...

They say bad things come in threes...Well "They" were wrong!!

Yay 2013! Now for some pictures because no one really likes to read posts, they just like to look at the pictures.  

(Note to self: Do NOT drink caffeine before bed and then blog)

My dad turned 70 Jan 3rd. All his kids were in the country to celebrate it with him as well as his sister, Aunt Joy. Happy  surprise party, Dad! You're the best man I've ever know! T being a VERY close runner up, that is.

Skiing fun: Deer Valley

He's Hot...

...and just down right sexy sometimes! (We need to facetime more often, Babe)

The day of shame...

My ride just got pimped, yo. Seriously, I bought the exact same car, just a newer model by two years and 20,000 less miles on it.  I don't like change...can you tell?

Conryd and Aly are moving to Florida this month and are taking this handsome man with him!  I guess I'm just gunna have to grow my own one some day so that no one can take him away from me. 

Went to a Natural Products Expo this past weekend with my mother and sister in law, Janene. It was in Anaheim, California.  I got to run on the beach. It was beyond amazing! Why am I not living by a beach again??

Health Expos are magical! I just love my new hot bod so much that I decided to rip my shirt off and show the world just how sexy I've become (and apparently just how immodest I've become, too. Shame on me)

Even the Madre got in on the sexy action!

We also happened to run into a basketball allstar, James Worthy! He seemed to have to hots for my mom. I don't blame they guy, really...

What's our next adventure? For both of us? Running. We plan on running a few races this year again.  For me, Nursing school. Yes, I am now running my business AND taking classes again at UVU. In 4 years time I'll have completed the Nursing program and will be applying for the PhD Nurse Practitioners program over at the U of U. T and I tend to love our schooling....and our cat, Sylar...and each other. That's pretty much our universe right now but not necessarily in that order.

Good night...(well, good morning. It's 12:15am)

Christmas Card

Christmas cards (the ones we all send out with a pic of the family on them) are an American thing. I NEVER grew up with that tradition. So when Tristin and I got married I couldn't do the whole Christmas Card/family picture mailer because:

1) It would be really boring to send a yearly picture of the two of us out to all our friends and family (who see us on FB anyway!!)

2) I can't justify the waste of stamps and paper (call me cheap but I'm not going to spend money on something I hold no sentimental value for). However, I DO love receiving the cards so please don't think this is ANY judgment towards you and your Christmas cards! They are wonderful!

Instead, I like to do a yearly video that I email out to people because not only does it document our years events but it's GREAT "footage" to show our kids someday.

So here is our 2012 Chirstmas video to you! We love you all and wish you all the happiness life can bring you because you all deserve it!

With all the love we can muster,

The "Hippy" Roneys

Home Sweet Home

Still gotta finish putting up the pictures but so far so good!

And in other new, we are still obsessed with our big boy, Sylar! Last night we got home to a very distressed kitty. The scenario was just hilarious to us...obviously not to him, though.  You see, we walked in and saw him walking about shamefully with this thing stuck around his belly:

After a big and healthy dose of laughter, we decided to rescue our Sy-Guy



Apparently his shame didn't keep him down for long, however because he decided to show off some of his ninja moves

A Rare Sight Indeed

My brother from Australia is in town visiting with us at the moment. The other day he asked me, "Why did you get married so young?". After a long and sappy list of whys, the one thing I kept emphasizing was, "Tristin makes me laugh all the time! He has the weirdest sense of humor-I cant even explain it but he's just SO funny!!! Catch me by my funny bone and I'm yours!".

Tristin posted something on Facebook that I thought was hilarious! It also is a great and simple insight into the "vibe" of our life.

......................

"(In an Australian accent) This is a sight so rare it has never been recorded before this moment. It's impossible to be sure, but it looks as if the Juanique is cooking from scratch! Crikey!"

You see, Im NOT domesticated at all ~ I don't cook...EVER. Never ever ever! I hate it. I hate all things food wise! Can you throw it in a blender and drink it? NO? Then I'm not interested! However, I have a fantastic kitchen so I now feel like I have to use it....and I did thanks to the guidance of my brother, Greg (he's a excellent chef).

Love you Greg for your guidance, and I love you Babe for making me laugh....and liking my meal so much so that you bought the ingredients for me to make it again. I must have done something right :)

Oooooh....I'm THAT Relative

Last week Wednesday we moved into our BEAUTIFUL home and couldn't be happier! I LOVE the place... as in LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It's just to die for! It's the perfect size, not too big or too small, it's gorgeous on the inside and outside, it's new and it's in a wonderful location!

On Sunday I unpacked the very last box (yes, it only took me 5 days to unpack EVERYTHING! We were really motivated to get peace and order in our lives again...this is also the first time in 2.5 years that T and I are finally living on our own again). I'll take pictures as soon as all my decorations on the wall are up...I haven't quite decided which pictures should go where yet and putting unnecessary holes in the wall will drive me crazy.

 However, I had a fun interaction the other day with Conryd that I wanted to share. On Tuesday I was at my folks house when my brother came in and said to me:
  C-Yoh, have you seen that relative of ours on facebook? The crazy one?
 J- Who? 
C-You know, the one that keeps posting all the pictures of her cat. The crazy cat lady.  It's all she ever does 
*my first thoughts were, "REALLY? who is this, I wanna talk cats with her!" Then I realized he was talking about me to which I responded*
 J-I know right? She's nuts! Her cat is all she can think about! I mean seriously, why is she so obsessed about her cat!?

(Answer: Ummm... BECAUSE HE'S AWESOME!!!!)

 Yeah, apparently I'm THAT relative, the one with the cat fetish who only posts stuff about her cat these days.
As I was heading out the door:
C-Say hi to your cats for me
J-Cat. Singular. Not plural!
C- For now...

 Sylar has been a HOOT! We absolutely LOVE HIM!! The first few days were rough however. We closed our door at night so we could rest peacefully....which didn't happen. He would cry and whine and scratch at the door for HOURS! then when I'd get up to console him he'd start biting me and meowing even louder to show his annoyance. One morning we found a boxed shredded to bits right outside our door. His food and water were also spilled all over the place. Is this how cats have tantrums?

After day 4 we decided to leave our bedroom and closet door open (he likes to sleep up in the closet ontop of our socks and silky clothes). Amazingly enough he was very quiet and has been ever since. Now he will just lay quietly at the end of the bed until we wake up. As soon as we start stirring he comes meowing.

 WE JUST LOVE HIM! And how could you NOT love this Handsome guy!



He loves to walk up and down those railings. He's only fallen off once (poor guy). Hopefully I'll get video of him walking it some time :P

The Rantings of a Tired Woman

(I woke up early this morning and couldn't go for my run because the noise from the treadmill would wake up the house, so I wrote this blogpost instead. I may regret writing it later, we'll see. It's still too early to be fully coherent)

Life can be hard when you love something you're suppose to hate. Here's what I'm talking about.

You see, I LOVE this song. No seriously, I REALLY LOVE this song:

 But here's the problem. I HATE the part where he says, "let me love you until you learn to love yourself". The angry feminist in me stops and say, "Hold the phone...did I really just hear those words?!"

For 3 years I taught the Young Women in my ward! I LOVED these girls like they were my own flesh and blood and when I prepared their lessons, the 3 things I always tried to emphasis were:

1-Their divine individuality. They should never be scared to be who they truly are. Heavenly Father ADORES them and made them PERFECTLY. They are already perfect
2-Their divine inner strength as women
3-how important and what an honor it is to be a STRONG and INDEPENDENT women

So when I hear words saying, "let me love you until you learn to love yourself" I want to yell back at my Iphone, "No! They should learn to love themselves before anyone else loves them, Ne-Yo". You think he can hear me?

So all my ladies out there, before I go for my morning run and listen to this song (maybe 3 times because it's got the perfect beat to run to, lets be honest), remember, there is nothing more sexy and attractive than a woman who loves and respects herself.

Ne-yo got it right with this song, however.



I still love you, Neyo, but I love myself more :P

(K-Everyone is now awake so I can use the treadmill now. Goodbye)

Happenings

PS: I've deactivated my Facebook account. I'll be back during Christmas sometime. So please don't think I have some weird grudge against you...I don't
