Oh DivineCaroline

Husband's Beware (:

A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard.
The door of his wife’s car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog.
Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall.
In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.
In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened.
He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door.
As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap, and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.
As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel.
She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked:
“What happened here today?’”
She again smiled and answered, “You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?”
“Yes,” was his incredulous reply.
She answered, ‘”Well, today I didn’t do it.”

While I know it will NEVER come to this.. I'm keeping it in mind just in case!
 
She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates, and suitcases.
On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay.
When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half —eaten shrimp dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.
When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing the place out.
Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting.
Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit. Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.
A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.
The ex —wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back. Knowing his ex —wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day.
She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork. A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home.... ....including the curtain rods.

Christmas

So, I have decided that Keith and I are basically making all our Christmas gifs this year. I am very excited! We have already picked out what we want to do for his mom, the girls (from the Stevens family), and I picked out what I would like to do for my mom, thanks from ideas from Kristin Hunt, and Pinterest. All we have left is dad's, the Michael Redwine family, and Luke and Shanell. Which shouldn't be too hard. I would totally post pitcures of these awesome projects if I didn't think they would sneak a peak. I will have to take pictures and post AFTER Christmas. Also, instead of going crazy and buying each other a billion and a half presents, we are buying one big thing for the both of us, this year MIGHT have to be a space heater and fire wood, bring out that cozy fireplace, and then stuffing each others stockings with things we made, or bought, or whatever we feel like, (coal maybe). I do know, however, Keith won't peak. So here's something I'm thinking about doing for him.



and maybe something like this for mom.. But IDK exactly yet (:


Oh, and it started snowing today. Bring on the Christmas tunes Cherrie Moss! (:

Change in LIFE

So, starting tonight Keith and I are starting temple prep classes. I cannot wait to start our journey through eternity together. We have been attemping some life changing habits, i.e. reading together, FHE, praying together, attending ALL of church, and the list goes on and on. Along with us on this journey, is my good friend Jake. I get to enjoy this class with two of my favorite and best friends. I am excited to see what Brother Halgren has in store for us tonight.

Along with this life changing event, I have decided I am out of shape. Not necessarily fat, but just unable to run away from a bad guy chasing me. I do however weigh more than I ever have, have no abs/muscle whatsoever and before we decide to have kids and I explode from those cute little things, I am making a change. This insane workout I am going to attempt, is the one from Britney Spears in her "prime years".


Abs like that.. Yes please (:
Workout:


90 minutes/4x a week
Warm up: 10 minutes on cardiovascular machine (treadmill, stationary bike, etc) at a medium pace.
Abs: 50 crunches, 50 bicycle twists, 50 hip raises
Strength Circuit: Use weights to work on arms, chest, back, and lower body. Bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, and fly exercises and presses.
