The past couple months.

Okay as a recap on the past couple months of our lives.

I got back from my internship in California and I got an offer! So that means that when I graduate in April with my MAcc I will have a job lined up for Sep. 2010. I asked to switch from LA to Orange County and I am still waiting to hear final word on that.

I spent a few weeks recuperating :) and working on the house a bit. My mom got to come up for a few days with my brother Nick and it was super fun to work on the house together.

I went to school spring term and took nine credits, and I am also now the head TA in the accounting lab which has been fun. My favorite class was one for my minor. TMA 114. It was a theater and film structural analysis class. Super fun! I wish I could take it every semester. Now all I want to do is watch good film.

Lalo and I had our one year anniversary! We went to Vegas and stayed in these super awesome condos his cousin works at so we got a good deal. They have this lazy river and it was super fun to float around. We also spent a good three hours at the Ross on the strip which is a requirement of every visit to Vegas. It is HUGE and such a wonderland. I love Ross. I always say I could sell Ross, Netflix, and Jetblue. But Ross certainly does take some mental preparation. I go in there and load up my cart with tons of stuff and take loads in to the dressing room one at a time. Lalo has yet to raise one complaint about these trips. One time he stood by the cart for like a couple hours and this last time he shopped the whole time! Anyway, that was fun. We also saw the V show. We got cheap tickets through his cousin for that too and it was way fun to go for what we paid for them. We also busted out the top of our cake and ate that! I am a stickler for tradition so Lalo wanted to eat it the day we got back (the day after our anniversary). But I insisted we purchase a cooler to transport it and keep it in the freezer there for our anniversary! It was pretty good and the only thing we took pictures of so I will put those up sometime. Lalo had been talking about it all year so it was a big event for him!

He also busted out this battery-powered pedicure set he had gotten and gave me a pedicure/foot massage for like an hour. You could have made a pretty good sized palmful if you put all the dead skin together that he got off my feet! Ha ha sorry! I think the pedicure was maybe a little more for his benefit than mine : )

Other than that Lalo has been up to work as usual. He has also joined a lot of soccer groups. I swear he has a game like every night. But that's cool because I haven't been getting home before nine or ten every night.

So that has been our lives for the most part the past couple months. I'll update sometime with some anecdotes as I know the summary is pretty boring!

I don't post for months and this is what I choose?

-What are your middle names? Lynn. Lalo does not have one but his real name is Eduardo.
-How long have you been together? 3 1/2 years
-How long did you know each other before you started dating? Like three months?
-Who asked who out? It depends. That story is too long for this line.
-How old are each of you? 29 and 22. Guess which!
-Who's family/siblings do you see the most? Hm...maybe his immediate family the most. But we see my extended family just about every day at club gatherings.
-Do you have any children together? Nope.
-What about pets? None...I do not want to clean up pee/poop.
-What situation is hardest on you as a couple? Figuring out our plans for moving/not moving to California in a year and everything that goes with that.
-Do you go to the same school? No
-Are you from the same hometown? No
-Who is the smartest? We are smarter in our own ways. Brittney is book smart and Lalo is street smart.
-Who is the most sensitive? Brittney
-Where do you eat most as a couple? Hm. Five buck pizza? or Costa Vida? We like to switch it up.
-Where is the furthest you two have traveled as a couple? New York so far.
-Who has the worst temper? Brittney
-Who does all the cooking? There's not much cooking going on at our house....but I'd say Lalo is fixin in the kitchen more often.
-Who is more social? It depends if the environment is Spanish or English! Probably Brittney
-Who is the neat freak? Lalo!
-Who is more stubborn? Brittney!
-Who hogs the bed? Lalo would say I do. He says I sleep crooked. But everytime I get in bed after him he is already curled up on my side ready to cuddle giving me no room to breathe. So I'd say him.
-Who wakes up earlier? Brittney unless Lalo has a plane to catch to an auction.
-Where was your first date? That is debatable. I'd say the first official date was Savior of the World in Salt Lake with his parents.
-Who has the bigger family? Brittney
-Do you get flowers often? I have gotten them a total of three times....the last three Valentine's days.
-How do you spend the holiday's? Only been married for one holiday season but I think we will end up most of the time at Brittney's. Lalo's family works during the holidays. Plus they don't have Thanksgiving so that one's a given.
-Who snores louder? Lalo
-Who goes to bed first? Hm...usually the same time. Except when I stay up in bed doing homework.
-Who is more jealous? Brittney
-How long did it take you to get serious? What's serious? Exclusivity? Engaged? Married? We dated for two and 1/2 years before getting married.
-Who eats more? It depends on the day and our respective opportunities to eat. Brittney eats more "treaties."
-Who does the laundry? We each do our own except Lalo does all the underwear!! Ha ha!
