I grew up and had a very Hispanic name. My father is hispanic so it seemed very natural to me. Yes, I am very pale and look nothing like I'm half cuban but serious...never even crossed my that it was weird. Well that was until yesterday.
I was editing my family blog and typed my maiden name. I thought to myself that it didn't look right so I kept retyping it until I realized that I was spelling it right it just looked funny. Then it occurred to me that my name was very Hispanic.
I know I'm kind of a dork not realizing this sooner...it was my name though and I never thought much about it.

It's just to funny...
Ok so my brother and sister showed me this video and its just too good. I have been laughing hysterically every time I think about it. I think its mostly cause I've been hit on like this (a little less annoying but seriously just like it). It is MadTV so they do drop some mild sterotype cursing but I didn't find it offensive. If you want to see it just click here.

The amazing man that I married
I feel that I have been blessed through out my entire life. It has of course had its own difficulties and a couple low points but I have always made it through thanks to my Father in Heaven. The most amazing blessing of my life is My husband.
So this week has been very interesting. It really started on Saturday...We were sitting around and enjoying conference when we got a call from his sister. Her daughter who lives 5 min from us was in some pain and needed to go see the dentist. We of course were willing to help in any way we can so we both canceled our plans for the rest of the weekend. His niece even spent the night as a just in case (she is such a sweet girl).
Well after the crazy weekend we were of course running low on groceries so I planned a shopping trip to the store for Monday since I had school work to work on from Tuesday to Thursday. I meant to have it done by the time Jer got home but other things that I needed to do took up my entire morning so I was unable to make the trip. An hour after Jer got home (after a 10 hr day at school) he got ready and went with me to the store because he wanted to spend time with me and knew I wouldn't be able to do it later on.
The next day I worked all day on my school work but Jer took every minute he could to be by my side. This is where my week got complicated. I had a test coming up on Thursday that I had to get proctored since I live in Provo. I get a email to the lady I had contacted, and was informed that she would not be able to proctor my exam on Thursday or Friday. She was the only person in the area that could proctor this type of exam and I could schedule to do it Wednesday but the test info would not reach her in time from my teacher (not to mention it would mess up my study schedule). The only solution that could be seen without alot of work was to drive up to Rexburg to take it at the testing center, which Jeremy agreed to swiftly.
So after I finished my class work that was due I then proceeded to start a study guide. And was able to study Thursday morning while Jeremy took his own test and attended his classes. We then left. As I drove to Rexburg he quized me on the material, since I get a headache if I read in the car.
So now I am sitting in my brother-in-laws apartment using the computer as my husband spends time with his family with the occasional 'I love you', 'Your beautiful' and jumping up to give me a hug and a kiss. Not once has he complained. He just keeps rolling with what comes and keeps reminding me why I think I am the luckiest woman that has ever been born.

TV show reccomendation
Okay, when i saw this at the blockbuster and Jer was trying to convince me that we should try it out I totally thought this was going to be the dumbest show ever. But I let him get it cause I was tired and didn't really care what we got.
This show is now on my like 'best 5 tv shows' list. It is awesome and not nearly what I thought it was gonna be. Its really clean and fun to watch as well as all reactions in the show are exactly how they would be in real life (in my opinion). Everyone should give this a try!
P.s. If you do happen to get really into this just a warning the 2nd season is really short. According to some guy we talked to, they canceled the show but brought it back because so many people wrote them.
