Back to Life....

HELLO!  I'm Randi, and I used to write in the blog, but I guess you all have probably forgotten that, since I have been gone, gone for way too long. (as I said that in my head it was all sing songy.) Anywho, I have been gone because I was in San Diego. Ahhhh so absolutely amazing! I said it was going to be life changing, but we didn't end up doing all the things we had talked about, so it wasn't too life changing haha, but it was still a very wonderful, needed, and bonding filled vacation. I know that if I were to blog about my trip it would be way toooo long and no one would wanna read it, so I am going to just put a little in each blog about it. 
Ryan and I drove up to Salt Lake and stayed in a hotel on Sunday night. Salt Lake is 3 hours away and the drive sucks big ones, so we didn't wanna have to drive that early in the morning. We went to the mall and watched The Town (awesome), then went back and ordered some delish pizza.
The first couple days were pretty cold (jeans and a sweater), but we still got out and went site seeing, walked the boardwalk, toured around the hotel, and spent time with my brosef. We went and toured where Jordan works, and gotta get inside of the helicopters. It made me so proud of my brother, he is amazing. Then we went to his apartment and hung out. Definitely a bachelor pad! but very nice for sure.  
That was basically our first day there. Went back to the hotel, and slept, we were all wore out. Now I am back in the" Vernaal", as my dad would say, working my butt off. Gettin up at 5 or 5:30 every morning, really does suck, but it's worth it cuz we are dirt poor. Ughhhhhh..... money. Hate it.
Welp, that's all folks...hmmmm...yeah. :)
It's bein stupid and won't let me upload any pictures, so next time!


 

Weekend?! Yes, please!

Friday, oh Friday, I'm so glad it's Friday! 

Friday means a lot of great things. First of all, it was not only my first day pretty much by myself at work, which went great if you were wondering, but it was my last day of work for almost two weeks, because if you haven't figured out already San Diego is MONDAY! That means 3 days. Ahhh I can't wait. 

Friday also means new movies! This weekend was a good weekend for movies. So if you guys were thinking about going to the cinema, this weekend would be a good one to do so. The Town, Devil, and Easy A came out. Ryan is stoked about The Town, because not only does it look really good with a lot of drama/action, but it has his man crush, Jon Hamm in it. And I am going to assume you guys know who that is because he is Don Draper in the best show on tv, aka Mad Men. And off subject, kinda, if you guys are looking for a great tv series to start watching (you will have to rent the first couple seasons) you should without a doubt start watching Mad Men. You will not be disappointed.

But back on subject, The Town has Ben Affleck, and I know you guys all know who that is. Devil is for all of you suspense/ kinda horror fans. It's definitely going to be a scary one, well I guess creepy would be a good word to use. Don't let it push you away by seeing M. Night's name on the poster. I know, I know, Last Airbender kinda.... okay extremely disappointed. One of the worst movies I have ever seen, but an amazing preview at work. But we have some great expectations for Devil, it's only "from the mind of" M. Night. So no worries guys.

And tonight we went to the great ole Vernal Cinema and watched Easy A. Sooooo awesome! Funny, love, bring tears on occasion type movie. So go see some movies people!

Welp, gotta get to studying, have a test tomorrow at 11. We'll see how this goes! Then True Blood marathon?? I think so! :)

Goodnight guys! Have a great weekend! Love ya. 

Oh, and in the picture is the newest addition, Frank. He guards our room. We love Halloween and are getting into the spirit well over a month early, cause that's what we do :)

 

Tuesday = Teen Mom & ridiculous training videos

Had to wake up early this morning for orientation. I thought maybe we would go over some company rules, then we would start training. Nope. Had to watch those ridiculous healthcare videos about elder abuse, and fire safety, and so on. Now do not get me wrong here, all of those things are extremely important and should be spoken about, but those videos are just hilarious. And I know I was not the only one thinking that because when all the ridiculous, completely exaggerated, over acted, scenes of elder abuse, or a fire drill, or even a "sick" person, there was several giggles, and not just from me. 

If you are thinking I'm just an inconsiderate person, and awful for giggling at this cheesy acting, go ahead and mosey over to Youtube, and look them up. I'm sure they are on there somewhere. Or when you have to watch any of those videos before you start a job anywhere (for the most part), about being nice, and the right way to handle situations.... same thing. They need to update those videos, the people in it still wear parachute pants... I mean come on. haha

But anyways, enough of my rant about cheesy company videos. Gotta get up at 5 tomorrow morning and be in at work at 6... first day... oughta be interesting. They might find me cuddled up in bed with one of the residents taking a nap! lol  So we will see how that goes! I am very excited though, just not about waking up at the buttcrack of dawn. 

Well, I gotta watch my teen mom and some Shaytards, and head to bed. Oh those of you that don't know what the Shaytards are... youtube it. It's a man that vlogs with his family, so absolutely adorable and addicting. You will fall in love with them. :)  Love all you guys, and miss you like crazy! Have a great..... Wednesday! haha forgot what day it was! Love ya!

WooHoo!!

Guess who got the job!!?  "Let me guess, you did, Randi...." You know it!! Ahhh I'm so excited! I am just happy to finally have a job. We really need some money. Oh and did I mention, Ryan also got a job today ( at least we think he did). They have to wait for his background check to go through, but he said he is positive he got it. What a great day. Had the interview with the head honcho, then had to fill out about a zillion papers. After that I had to go pee in a cup at the toxicology place, then go get fingerprinted at the new jail. Which was a pretty cool experience. Tomorrow is orientation, then on the floor Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I never thought I would be so excited to clean haha.

Oh and today, I think I got asked how old I was the most I have ever been asked in my life. Literally every person asked me how old I was. Two people at the care center, two at the toxicology place, and 5 at the jail. It was pretty annoying, but I'll admit I do look a LITTLE younger. lol

So, now I am supposed to be studying for a test I have to take on Friday, because I won't be in town when it is scheduled.... cause I'll be in SAN DIEGO. I got to talk to my brother last night which was amazing, and he told me a few of the things we will be doing while we are there... and let's say... this is going to be a life changing trip. I will blog while I'm there and take a lot of pictures. It's going to be so amazing.

But back to me studying, I could not study for long, it's just so boring. Boo school. So I have officially painted one hand of nails (purple if you are curious), talked to Ryan while he is in class in his little cubicle, thought about my outfits for San Diego, and listened to the same song about 20 times. It is my favorite song right now.... it's called "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars. If you have not heard it, go listen to it right now, youtube it or something. It's such an amazing song. I LOVE it. 

So now that I've blogged about my wonderful day, I am going to finish my nails, so I don't look like a goon, then head to WalMart to get Ryan's game at midnight, and get some scrubs for work!!

Just some fun pictures of Jet Li and Kevin.... trouble makers :)
 

CONTINUED

So since Ryan stopped talking to me, I figured I would give this other guy a chance. This other guy just happened to be Ryan's best friend. I know I was horrible.... a bad person. But it all worked out for the best. Ryan saw other girls and I dated this other guy for almost a year. Well, it did not work out. And I could not keep Ryan off my mind, so we had begun talking again. Eventually we started hanging out, but it was at the worst possible time. We had about 2 weeks before Ryan was leaving for college in Chicago. I was devastated. 

Guess who was going to Chicago... yep that would be me. I road the train up to Chicago to see Ryan two times, and he came home every weekend to see me. Plus talking every night, I just could not get enough of him. I was so smitten. When I was visiting once, he had already asked me several times "Will you just be my girlfriend already?" And I always said, oooh I dunno. Well one night we were laying in his bed in his dorm room, and I was just like "Okay." He's like "Okay what?" "Okay I'll be your girlfriend :) :)." That was at midnight on September 11th 2008. :)  Ryan soon felt like he did not have enough time with me, and missed me, just as I missed him so so much. So he moved back home.
Not long after this, we decided we were going to move to Utah with his family. 
We had only been together for 6 months before we decided to move to Utah together, but it was the best decision I could ever make, because I know I would of lost the love of my life if I hadn't. 
A funny story though, is when I was dating someone else, I came home crying one night to my mom about how they were being an awful boyfriend, and I am confused about my feelings because there was someone on my mind all the time (aka Ryan). This was at the time when Ryan was not speaking to me, which lasted a good 5 or more months. She says " Randi, you need to be with who you care about, and who makes you happy." And I said, in between sobs, "Mom, I know who I love, and who I want to be with but I messed that up and he will never want to speak to me again!" 
I knew he was the love of my life before we were even dating, my heart would almost beat out of my chest when I just saw him walk into work. Hearing his voice would put a smile on my face. 

Now, we have been together for 2 years, just the beginning :)

Our Story

So we have a pretty interesting story on how we met and came to be where we are today.
I knew of Ryan in high school because he was friends with my boyfriend at the time. Random I know, but I always thought he was such a cutie! I remember on one occasion my friend and I were standing in the lunch line at school and he just happened to be standing in front of us. All we talked about was how adorable he was. And don't forget I had a boyfriend at the time lol. I believe we said hey to each other and he's like " You're Travis' girlfriend, right?" Yes, sexy face, I am. hahahaha but anywho!
That was our only time we spoke in high school. Then I started working at the cinema, and guess who just happened to work there also, adorable skater boy, Ryan. I was always staring at him and getting butterflies when he came into work. Then at "previews" where we watch the movies before they come out, we officially made assigned seats next to each other. And of course we flirted during every single movie, I think we annoyed people, but we didn't care. 
Eventually, I randomly texted him at work. I got his number off the employee list and made it as casual as possible. From then on we couldn't stop talking to each other.
I was dating someone at the time, and that had to end real quick, for other reasons than Ryan, but I will say he had something to do with it. So we started talking more and more, but there were other guys at the time that liked me and I told him I didn't wanna date anyone just yet, because I didn't wanna hurt anyone, I just wanted to be single. 
So one of the guys I was talking to went and told Ryan that we were going to start dating, and he thought he should let Ryan know. This was all behind my back and I had no knowledge of this, maybe he thought it would improve his chances or something. Well Ryan decided to stop talking to me after this. 
TO BE CONTINUTED! :)


 

2 Years, Oh My Goodness

It has officially been two years that Ryan and I have been together. Well as of 11 pm tonight. Ahh, I just love him so so much. He is the love of my life and I honestly do not know what I would do without him. He is my best friend, lover, listener, just about anything you can think of, he is that for me. He has stayed with me after seeing me at my worst, and at my best, so I know that he is a keeper haha. Although I miss home a lot, if he is in Utah, there is no where else I would rather be. I moved here with him a little more than a year ago, and it has only made us grow and made our relationship stronger.
I know that he is the one for me, the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, and I have no doubts about that. I will post another blog about how we met, and our story. I feel it is a good enough occasion to do that right!? 
Oh I just love him so so much! 
I love you Ryan, and these past two years have been the best two years I could ever ask for. 

I love you babe.
