Denver, Husband, Moving.

Where did I leave off...

Oh yes, Denver.

As some of you may know, I got a new job with Frontier Airlines and they sent me for a week of training in Denver. It was probably one of the longest weeks of my life.

I missed Husband so much.

Also while I was over there I got a terrible cold.

The whole sinus, stuffy, runny nose, sore throat, chills and body aches.

Working on the ramp in 85 degree weather with that was a nightmare. Yuck!

On my plane ride home with all the gunk in my nasal passages and ears, my ears ruptured or at least got really, really close. It was so painful. SO PAINFUL.

Also, while we were training at the Denver International Airport they took us to the tower and we could see over the entire airport and see all of Frontier's terminal. It was so awesome!

Well that is basically all for my training..

So, when I got home Husband was waiting patiently for me at the pick up area. You have no idea how happy I was to see him. I just adore him.
I still felt like a sicky wife and my ears hurt.
Husband took such good care of me . I wasn't hungry at all, you know how you lose your appetite when you are sick, but he got me ice cream! I originally thought we were going back to his sister's house, but when we pulled out of the ice cream place, he pulled into a hotel!
I was so confused and kept asking why we were here. I know dumb question right?
Since being away from each other for a week, he thought it would be good to just have some us time, since it is hard being at his sister house for the last couple of weeks.
When I walked into the rook there were flowers laying on the bed and one of my favorite perfumes.
Isn't Husband precious?
He was just adorable. I didn't feel good so he just let me snuggle next to him and let me sleep on his chest, my favorite little nook!
He also told me I said some pretty weird stuff. Liiiiike..
I asked where the plane was and such.
Anyway..Thanks Husband, you really are the best and I love you!
I am also super sorry you caught my sicky.

They were waiting for me.. Cute.

Beyonce's Heat- Smells good.

I love Husband.

Other news is..We are moving tomorrow! Yahoo. We will finally have our own place.
Plus, the last few weeks have been crazy and lots of driving and working until 12:30 AM. We have been going back and forth between Fairview and Orem. We were at my parents, but a series of unfortunate events happened and it didn't really work out so here we are living out of suitcases and waiting anxiously to move into our new place!

Well, I think that is about it with the quick updates and what we have been up to..
Training-Check
Sweet Husband-Check
New Place-Check

Blur.

Oh my goodness!
The last couple of weeks have gone by so fast. It really has been a blur.
There has been a lot going on.
Working probably has been the biggest thing for both Husband and I.
Work, work, work.
Trying to spend some time together.
It has been a bit difficult lately, but hey. I guess that is part of the first years of marriage. Work your brains out until you can get somewhere or more like while you're getting somewhere.
I am blessed to have Husband, I adore him so much and he is so supportive.
The shifts I work right now are tough on me and I think maybe him, we don't see each other a lot, but he still loves me! haha :) Love you, Boo.
We are moving this weekend and hopefully I will be able to gather some time to give a real update of everything and tell you how things are going with the new job, our new place, new plans-ish, and other things.
I can't believe October is just around the corner.
Where did September go?
Anyway, stay tuned!

Denver.

It is only Tuesday.
I still have three more days here..well three and half.
and three more nights away from Husband.
Boo!
I just miss him so stinkin' much.
I miss my nook.
Anyway, I made it to Denver, if you didn't already gather that information.
I'm here. Joy.
My flight here consister of 88 obnoxious junior high school children and 20 brand spankin' new missionaries. They were just about scared of everything. The missionary sitting next to me fell asleep hugging his teddy bear...haha. What a girl.
I was literally surrounded by them. Some guy walked by and pointed at me and said "how did you get so lucky to be sitting by all these good men?"
(Men? Puh-lease.)
"You should get their address' and write one of them, by the time they get back you will be old enough to get married."

I said, "I'm already married."

He didn't believe me and said, "you can't be older than 16 or 17."

"I am actually 21."

That went on for a minute more, then take-off and landing and children yelling their conversations. It was so fun.
First day of class, they basically began to tell us that we have the most dangerous job working in the airline industry, don't get sucked into the propeller engines or have a piece of debris picked up and shot at you.
Cool. Thanks.
Now it is the second day of training and guess what tomorrow is..the third. Good job.
Anyway, I miss Husband. I do, I do.
He is so precious and I can not wait until Friday when I get to see him! Yay!!!
I have a huge hotel room all to myself.. (hint, hint husband.)

I must be off.
Bye.

Another First.

We literally have no plans for this weekend.
For about the first time in the history of our marriage. Who knows, maybe even our relationship. Maybe.
I did say I was going to blog about our "firsts" so..There ya go.
 Anyway, it is extremely weird to not know what we will be doing this weekend, if anything.
I'm sure we will watch all the football going on!
Wait...Yeah I just reviewed and confirmed that with myself, we will be watching football.
What else? Who knows.
I hope we do something since I leave for a week on Monday!
Which I am getting more nervous about.

I really have nothing to blog about either.
I probably shouldn't be...my blog may be getting boring. Oh darn!
Sorry folks.
I really need to do laundry and decide what to make for dinner.
hmm...

I guess I could tell you that I am still bald.
We got a couch and a TV yesterday, we're pretty excited about our purchase. It was such an adult decision. We are so married, it's ridiculous.
I love it.

Happy Weekend!

My Hurr.

My hurr or my hair...Sometimes I'm gangster.
But not really.
Well...I did not cut my hair off..yet.
but I did cut it, I guess more like trim it, but i got like 3 inches cut off and 4 inches off the layers! When you have long hair 3 and 4 inches are a lot!
My hair feels so short...I don't know if I can cut it off...
Hmmm.. I guess we shall see. In a while, that is.
I already feel bald.
But my hair now feels so good that all the dead and dry stuff got cut off, plus some. I guess it's alright.
Well, until next time.

Baldy out.

Airport(s).

The past 2 days have been nothing but airports for me.
On Monday is when I went to Denver for my orientation.
I got into Denver at 8:30am and left at 3:00pm.
It was super fun...Really it was.
I love airports. I can be entertained all day by people watching.
It's a great past time.
Anyway, at the orientation they briefed us on the company, and about all of our benefits..you know health, vision, dental, and the best..FLYING benefits!
I'm so excited about that.
So is husband.
Watch out world, here come the Carltons!
We also got finger printed and had to take a drug test, fun stuff right there. I was also the only one there that was going to be doing ramp, everyone else is doing customer service, but in Salt Lake all agents have to be cross-trained, so I will be doing customer service eventually.

I'm excited about ramp, I hear it is an awesome work out!
I can get my muscles going again.

Yesterday..or Tuesday.
I was at the SLC Airport all day doing some online training.
it was a fun 7 hours of sitting on the computer and reading and then taking tests.

On Monday I leave for Denver for a week to get my initial ramp training so I can actually start doing the fun stuff! I'm excited and so nervous and sad to be leaving husband for a WEEK!
That is a long time people.
One of his good friends comes home from their mission next week, so he probably won't miss me too much..haha
Plus, he has Creed..They can play PS3 or something.
Meh! :(

OH! We also found an apartment, an awesome apartment!
Hopefully we can move in around October 1st.
Speaking of October, Husband's birthday is next month. Does anyone have any suggestions on what would be a good gift for husband?

Never Forget.

It's the anniversary of 9/11..
I do like to point out the obvious sometimes.
It is a day that has gone down in history.
A day that has changed our lives as citizens of this country.
It was a tragic day. Many lost lives.
It brought fear to Americans, but we never lost hope.
We all became stronger and stand more together.
It is a day that should not be forgotten and will not be forgotten.
We won't forget what happened.
We won't forget the feelings.
We won't forget the people, the heroes.

With that being said..
I also don't think as we remember this day that we should get stuck on the images of the planes hitting the towers, or of the towers collapsing.
Don't dwell on the hate.
That is what they want. They want us to fall apart and remember what they did to our country.
That they attacked us.
They should know, they can't win.
It should now be a day of remembrance for the people
and a day that we did not fall apart.
A day we stood strong and have become stronger.

I don't want this to come across rude.
On this day I hear a lot of "I can't believe they did that." or "I can't believe it happened."
or even a lot of hate. Even toward our own country.
It happened.
It's not a happy day, at all.
It's tragic, sad, depressing.
But remember we didn't fall. We're still here.
We're still fighting.
Remember the people, all the people.
Who fought and are still fighting
Celebrate for our country.

I love this country, not so much the people running it, but I do love this country.
The freedoms we enjoy are such a blessing.
We will never forget what happened.
We can't.
U.S.A!

Also, A little shout out to my Aunt Luci!
Happy Birthday!!!

This Morning Mind.

Hello Friday!
I would say this week went fast, thank heavens!
I still have to get through work today, before I get to see husband.
But it's ok! I'm just excited.

Yesterday, I got this awesome curling iron. I can't even explain it, besides the fact that it is lime green! It's alot better for your hair, because it doesn't have hot metal in it and it curls the hair in like 3 seconds and it is suppose to hold for three days...Which I probably won't test out, but I might. Don't judge me.
It's pretty cool is all I got to say.

Oh and I would also like to announce that I am officially a Carlton as of last Friday. I was so surprised how easy it was to change my name.
So goodbye Desiree Stephens and Hello Desiree Carlton!
I even got my new drivers license the other day. No more blonde hair picture.

My mind is all over the place this morning, not literally though. That would be gross.
Many things are racing through it like-
everything that kept me up last night.
How my shoulder blade feels like it is going to fall off.
There are 4 water bottles in our bedroom, right now. None of which are empty.

Wishing I had something cool to blog about.
hoping husband is safe, I haven't talked to him since 6am yesterday morning. Probably because of where they had to go get wood, they have no service.
Thinking about cutting my hair. Short, but I'm scared. Boo.
or Monday I go to Denver for my new job orientation.
I actually really can't think past Monday. It makes me so nervous. I just want to get there and back.
Just so many things...
hmmmm....

Happy Friday!
&
Happy 2 months to Husband and I!

Heart Rocks.

I have some great news!
I got a new/another job! I start on Monday..
Well, Monday is my orientation, but still. I start on Monday!
I'm so excited, but kind of nervous. REALLY nervous actually.
It is a great opportunity for Husband and I. Even if it is long hours and open EVERY DAY of the year, it will be worth it. We're both excited!
I guess I should probably let ya'll know what the job is huh?
I'll be working for Frontier Airlines at the Salt Lake International Airport!
Even though Husband and I will both be extremely busy with work and school we are hoping to take advantage of the flying benefits, especially since we don't have kids at the moment.
It would be awesome to get back to Australia, together.
To see his mission and to go back to where we first met. Literally, if we go back we are going back to Knox Shopping Center.
Anyway...We're are excited to say the least and I'm nervous. I have to go to Denver for the orientation and then I will do my training at Denver or some other airport that's not Salt Lake.


Also, Husband left this morning to go with his dad and some other guys to go get MORE wood for the winter only this time they are going up to Wyoming. Boo.
That means I'm by myself tonight. ALL night.
Our first night apart. How sad. I'll just miss him.
But it's ok..I know it could be worse.


Tomorrow is the 9th. Do you know what that means?
We have been married for two months! Holy cow!
Actually, it kinda seems like we have been married longer than that. Or maybe it just seems like 2 months isn't that long and I guess it isn't, but it is. Maybe?
I don't really know, but it's been awesome. I love him more than ever. Like that is possible right?
Well, it is.

I also have a story thing to share that I forgot to put on my last post that I meant to so here we go....
For FHE at his parents house, we talked about tradition, right?
Well, his mom handed out some things that she has kept forever that have special meaning and gave them to the kids. Like things that they may have gotten when they were younger or that they gave to her..stuff like that. Special stuff.
One tradition they have is collecting heart shaped rocks and she pulled out a bag of them and handed me a present wrapped box and said mine was in there.
When I opened it, it was the heart shaped rock that Anthony gave to me when we had just started dating...
I remember he found it and gave it to me and I just held it while we were out doing some yard work and such. He told me that I didn't have to keep it and could just put it down, but I said no, It's precious..Even though it was all muddy. (it was still winter)
When we went to go inside I set it down by the back door, because obviously it was all muddy. I meant to get it and clean it, but I never did.
I have thought about it before wondering what happened to it, stuff like that.
Well..now I know.
Anyway, it was just so precious. When Natalie gave it to me she asked Anthony "remember what happened the first time you gave a girl a heart shaped rock?".. "She threw it down and said "What am I suppose to do with this?""
Rude huh... That should have just been another reason why he should know that I am the one.
That girl is not smart and lost out the BEST guy ever.
Also Natalie put a quote with my rock that says
"Lucky is the girl whose husband gives her a heart-rock, for his love for her is set in stone."
It's true, I'm one lucky girl. I'm glad I kept that rock and have it back now.
It is so precious and so simple, it couldn't be better.
So girls..if your guy gives you a heart shaped rock. Hold it close. :)

Labor Day & Ridiculous-ness.

Labor Day Weekend.
Literally. We labored. Ok, and had some fun. Of course.
We went down to Fairview, again this weekend.
It was Husband's niece and Older sister (Abby's) birthday and party.
But, before the party we helped Husband's dad get wood, so they can start splitting it for the winter. Yes, they actually cut down HUGE trees and then we had to cut ALL the branches off, cut the trees into small pieces and loaded them into trucks. I think We cut down like 5 or 6 trees and that ended up being like 4 truck loads of fire wood. Fun stuff right there.
I think every night we were down there Husband and I sat on their porch swing and just sat in peace and quiet. Had good little conversations about how our plans and direction is becoming more clear and of course maybe a couple of worries we had.
Sunday was...well Sunday.
We went to Church, had dinner and one, big Family Home Evening.
At dinner, Natalie had these tiles..one for every person with sayings like..
"Say 2 nice things about the person on your left/right."
"Name one new thing you learned today."
Stuff like that and we had to go around and share..Which I think is incredibly awkward. It's fine though, because I got an easy one.. "Name 2 nice things about the person on your left." Guess who was on my left? Yep, Husband!
The hard part was only picking two.
For FHE we talked about tradition. How many of you just thought of Fiddler on the Roof?
Well, good..We watched the first part that sings "TRADITION!"
Monday, We went and picked corn and went to the Watts' house for Cinnamon rolls. Yum!
We left early Monday, so we wouldn't get stuck in all the coming home traffic and we didn't..it was great

Also, How many of you have seen the show "Ridiculous-ness"?
It is hilarious. Like some people really have NO common sense and do about the dumbest things.
It's good for a good laugh though.
We watched it for the first time last night and we didn't stop laughing once!
Which was good..We forced our selves to stay awake to stay up and watch it.
Worth it!
It was kind of, part of our family home evening.
We also got pizza...mmmm:)

Bittersweet September.

Happy September!
It's bittersweet. I don't want summer to leave.
I don't want to the hot sun to leave.
I'll miss the warm summer nights.
That's the bitter part. Clearly.
On the sweet side. We are moving forward!
Plans are becoming more clear.
The light at the end of the tunnel is getting just a little bit brighter!
Plus, Fall is beautiful here in Utah.
My last post, I was a bit down, a bit stressed.
Stress happens to everyone, but I have figured out that it does cause some non necessary pain. That you can't let  get you down. You have to be proactive!
and I have and I'm all good:)


Yesterday, I witnessed a guy buy cigarettes with food stamps.
I was irritated. I can guarantee he buys beer with them as well.
Seriously dude, get a job. Stop smoking and don't be drunk 24-7.
Not only are our taxes paying for his bad habits, but they will also being paying for his medical bills when his liver or heart fails or he gets lung, mouth, or throat cancer.
Our government really needs to think about things.
Ew...

Anyway! Happy September!
I hope everyone has fun plans for this weekend!
