Day 1: Picture Challenge

This is the most recent picture that I could find of myself... I am definately not in any state to take a picture today :)

1. My name is Krista Michelle Frampton. My parents just liked the name Krista and they named me Michelle because they had a friend with that name and they really liked her.


2. I have an extra bone in my thumbs and probably my feet (this happens in about 1% of people the doctors said)


3. I'm in the nursing program at UVU. After I finish my semester this December I will be able to test to have my RN.


4. I LOVE old people... I want open an assisted living center with Cody one day.


5. I HATE skittles. Don't you dare breathe on me after eating them or eat them in the same car as me.


6. I had braces twice, the second time was when I was in 11th grade and it was horrible!


7. My parents wouldn't let me color my hair growing up, until I was 17... I have been coloring it ever since and have done everything from black to blonde.


8. I love decorating and being crafty.


9. I want boy-girl twins one day (I think).


10. I am a bit of a hypochondriac.


11. I started dating my husband when I was a senior in highschool. He knew I was 18 but didn't know I was still in highschool.


12. I would rather it be blazing hot than have snow on the ground.


13. My favorite stores are Ross, Target, Downeast, and Hobby Lobby.


14. I would love to live in Tennessee someday (I fell in love with it when I went there last summer) but I'm afraid that we would miss our families too much.


15. I'm a "Your" and "You're" nazi.

A Sneak Peek...

My $20 sewing table I found at D.I. that I am going to refinish and turn into a vanity.

This chair is also from D.I. and was $15. A coat of paint and new fabric will do it some good!

I'm excited!! Now, let's get started.

{Summer}
-noun. the "hot" months between when school ends in the spring and starts in the fall full of crazy fun events. aka: the best season of the year.

-Strawberry days in Pleasant Grove! It is June 15th-18th this year. The rodeo is so fun and I'm not really sure why. I think it's just the atmosphere. I don't really watch most of it and I usually get bad allergies so I can't talk by the end... but I still LOVE it! If you go you HAVE to get the strawberries 'n cream. Also, take a stop by the Purple Turtle for some strawberry softserve ice cream or Taco Amigo for a strawberry shake!
-Family and friend BBQ's (corn on the cob) and being outside
-Camping and (hopefully) fourwheeling. Dutch oven dinners and s'mores. Camp fires.
-Home improvement projects
-The fresh produce! Strawberries, peaches, apricots..
-Sleeping in and reading books
-Playing tennis and golf (or the driving range) with my Cody
-Swimming and laying out
-Small vacations to St. George
-Taking long walks in the evening or bike rides
-Hiking up in the mountains
-Lagoooooooooon!
-Outside concerts -Provo canyon. I love the trail and bridal veil falls. -Softball games
-Gardening
(These are just a few things I'm looking forward to this summer... hopefully we'll be able to do them all!) What do YOU have on your summer agenda?

Mexican Riveria Cruise!

Well, I guess I should probably update my blog! Since this is the most exciting thing that has happened to us lately, I guess I'll start here. Cody and I went on a cruise at the beginning of May. We went with our friends Bre and Brian. It was a 7 night cruise and we drove to leave out of Long Beach. The trip ended up being about 9 days total! We stayed a night in Vegas on the way down. We stayed in the "Lucky Casino". It was 50 bucks a night... and we got what we paid for! It was kinda scary too, we stood out a lot. (Cody said it's because we were the only white people there haha). One of the workers came up to us and told us to be careful. That kind of freaked us out so we went right to bed and left early the next morning. We made it to Long Beach the next afternoon where the Carnival Splendor awaited! (These pics are in no particular order).

First night on the cruise- Cody won some mulah!

We had bunkbeds! Long story short, when we first booked it the picture showed twin beds that converted into a king. It ended up the it was actually bunkbeds (we knew this a few months before we left) but Cody didn't want to pay extra to upgrade! Haha- it's ok, we both agreed that it was the best sleep we've ever gotten (we didn't have to deal with stealing covers, my crazy dellusions where I was thinking he was my patient... etc.)

We ran into Cody's mission trainer and his wife on the boat!

Me & Code




The main area on the boat- they had to close the top because it was too chilly the last couple of days.

Formal night.
The best & worst part about the cruise was the food! It was good and all you could eat! But 6 after 6 meals a day you don't feel good haha. The dinners were delicious! One night our awesome waiter brought Cody 2 lobster and 3 prime rib! Haha I think he just thought it was funny to make Cody eat so much. He gained 10 lbs that week! Good job babe- I'm proud of you! :) My favorite part was ice cream all day long!

Me & Bre in Puerto Vallarta {don't mind the guy trying to sell us sunglasses so naturally he jumped in the picture?}

Puerto Vallarta on the beach

Hot tubbin'!

Cody loved these 'cute little guys'

Oh. I should have warned you. Cody went bungee jumping in Cabo! What the- I know! In that last picture he looks like a dead man for sure. But... he survived. Bre and Brian went too. I was wayyyy too smart to go bungee jumping in Mexico :)

This is in Cabo San Lucas. If you look closely the little white box suspended in midair is where the crazies jumped from! (Oh and it has a glass floor-genius). This is also the canyon that we did the ziplines.

This is a good pic of Code on the ziplines.

All our gear on, ready to go. It was really fun/scary actually! There were 8 ziplines and you had to hike quite a bit to get from zipline to zipline. The longest zipline was 2600 feet and you got up to 50 miles per hour. It was way fun! There were a couple we got to ride tandem and one we even got to go the 4 of us! If anyone goes to Mexico- you HAVE to do this!

The "group"

Cody, Bre, and Brian riding the cart out to the gondola to jump.

"It's PANCHO time!"

"Cute little guys" again

Only 20 pecos for tacos?! YUM! Authentic mexican food- Cody converted me!

Cabo- random lady put this creature on me. Then she wanted 10 bucks! Shyeah right! We'll give ya 3.

Cabo San Lucas

Formal Night

Oh, I forgot to mention... we rented waverunners in Cabo and that was a blast! Some 13 year old Mexican kid was running the business.. that was a little sketch, he even had us sign a contract! Oh and we went to lots of flea markets! That was fun! We came home with a couple of hammocks, some bags, a blanket, knock-off sunglasses, and our panchos {naturally}.

What I'm Loving

I came across these as I was browsing the web the other day.

How. Freaking. Cute.

Customizable, but they cost a pretty penny.

What's goin' through my head

I honestly don't know where to start. This is the problem with me having a blog, it seems that I only write on it twice a year (at the end of each semester or when something HUGE happens). And no... nothing huge happened... but the semester FINALLY ended. Phew.

This semester has been somewhat of a blur. I took 18 credits this semester which wouldn't be too bad, except a few of those classes took up my entire life (welcome to nursing school). I felt like I hadn't learned anything this whole semester, then finals started. I started reviewing everything I had learned and much to my surprise I have learned a LOT. Now I feel a little bit more confident about this whole school thing (maybe it really does help?). I am happy to report that I have four out of my 6 grades and I have 3 A's and 1 A-. I'm proud of myself, I can't help but boast a little.

One thing I must vent about really fast, why is it that you do not get lab hours for classes? You have a lab or a clinical and you go 7 times for 12 hours (84 hours) plus spend close to 70 hours outside of class doing written assignments for that lab but you don't get credit? Oh wait, the class is 4 credit hours but you're spending that in class plus 8+ hours a week outside class studying... that makes sense, but where do all the lab hours go? Hmm... something is wrong there.

Anyway, enough of that. Let's celebrate! I feel like I haven't seen Cody in a really, REALLY long time. He has been working a ton lately (60+) hours a week. He has been staying busy at his full-time job working for Restore-Pro, but he's also been doing a ton of side-jobs. He does vinyl fences with his brother and dad and they've been staying busy doing that even up until this week! He's also been installing Christmas lights with his buddy Mike. It's kind of a love-hate relationship. He loves staying busy but he mostly loves the extra cash. (I appreciate it too- I just miss my Code). I have been a bit neglectful lately (you should see the house, laundry baskets, oh.. and the empty fridge) but now that finals are over I want to do something extra special!

I can't believe that Christmas is almost here! I haven't done much of anything to get ready for it. We decorated the house a little, I'll put pictures up soon! We've also been trying to finish up some gifts for the holidays (family, neighbors, friends). This year we're not doing too much for each other because we're going on a CRUISE! 7 night mexican rivera leaving out of Long Beach. We're going with our friends Bre and Brian! It's not until May, that's plenty of time to start working out, riiiiight?

I'll try and catch up with a few things we've been up to over the past few months.
