One Positive Thing 2/6

Today I realized that I didn't have to take my test yet, but that Tuesday is also a regular day for the test! So instead of booking it to the testing center after my last class, I met up with Jake, got my debit card and car keys, left him to take his test and I went to the grocery store BY MYSELF! Usually it's me and Jake which is also so fun, but sometimes it's nice to just go through each aisle slowly. We needed so many things I couldn't even make a list for it all so I really did go through every single aisle, even the pet aisle. . . which is funny, because for our pets, you can only find their stuff at IFA. :)

But when I got to the grocery store, I got a front row spot. You know, the spots that are right next to the handicapped spots. So that was awesome! I pulled in, and then when you walk into Smith's, they have a chinese food place inside..... I was starving so I also stopped there! Haha. I got some fried rice and started shopping in no hurry at all . . . not a care in the world!!! It was so awesome!

When I left, I wasn't sure I would have time to take it all home because I wasn't sure how long Jake's test would take, but I went ahead and drove home anyway and I was able to unload everything, unpack the pork into little plastic baggies, eat my cucumbers that I had soaked in lemon juice the night before, let my chickens out to roam, check on the baby chicks, jam to Taylor Swift on our echo, and then grab my book and drive back to get him. He hadn't even texted me yet, but it was getting close to being two hours since I had left him and I just sat in the parking lot waiting for him to tell me he was done! Not 5 minutes after I parked, he was ready. He texted me, "I'm coming to kiss your face off!" Hahaha

It turns out that he was super excited about his grade, BUT DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME WHAT HE GOT . . . He was telling me that his lab partner had gotten an 80 on the multiple choice, but I, being the mean wife I am (ha ha), didn't ask what he got because I wasn't sure he wanted to tell me . . . but then later he said, "I was trying so hard not to tell you what I got!" And I said, "What'd you get?!?!!" and he said, "You'll have to look yourself!" And so I pulled up his grades and he had gotten a 100% on the multiple choice! So proud of him! Hahha

Anyway! Monday was pretty good, and we got 2 fresh eggies from our chickens.

Jake Says Funny Things Part 1

I feel privileged to be with Jake almost 24/7 because sometimes he says the funniest things. And maybe I just think they're funny because I think he's so cute, but I've been keeping a note on my phone called "Jake is funny" and I wanted to share some of those... PS. There definitely is a common theme... hahaha.

• "I'll do summer sales so we can have a baby."
•  We were driving to Lake Powell and I had asked if we could listen to The Five Love Languages on the way there. We did, and at the end of the book it talks about filling up your spouse's love tank with their love language.
  -"Let's have a safe word if your love tank ever gets below an 8. The safe word can be, 'We haven't been to the redwoods lately.'"
• "I think our problem is that your love tank is full."
• Talking about our engagement - "4 months is short my butt!"
• I played work by Rihanna and he had never heard it before.
• I said, "Ily" and he asked what that meant.
• "That's gonna be us in 3 months!" - Jake
  "With a baby?" - Me
  "You can do it!" - Jake
• "Squishably perfect... That's you!"
• "We just need to sit down and see if we can have a baby." - he wanted to talk logistics and finances to see if we could make it work! hahaha.
• "People need to stop telling us not to have babies. They're gonna be a gift to the world."
• at the pumpkin patch - "Doesn't it feel like something's missing?" - Me
  "It feels like 4 somethings are missing." - Jake
• I was spelling words out on his back and he was getting every letter right until . . . 
  "H-O-T-T-I.....Q?" We both DIED laughing, even though it probably isn't that funny...
• also at the pumpkin patch: "It's good to start traditions like this... Next year, we'll bring our baby."
• Just last night he was trying to tell me about this post I had tagged him in on Instagram and he didn't know what it was called when I tagged him in something... He later apologized for "Not knowing Instagram terms.-"You commented my name or tagged me or . . . what is it called?" - Jake
  "I tagged you" - Me
  "I thought I had to be in the picture for you to tag me?" - Jake

And for good measure, here's a picture of Jake when we were testing out mattresses this past weekend.
