Why not?
>> Friday, October 7, 2011
Saw this on a couple of blogs so I've decided to do my own take of the abc's of me:
Age: 24. I feel so old!
Bedsize: Queen. works for me although Jared wants a King.
Chores that you hate: dishes! I do them only because I have to. Even though I like to buy paper plates from time to time ;)
Dogs: Happy and Mimi- my family's chihuahuas. Jared and I want a french bulldog one day.
Essential start to your day: shower! It makes a big difference in how I feel the rest of the day. I've never been the shower-the-night-before kind of girl. Also, I need to make prayer my absolute essential part of my day. One of my goals
Favorite color: a specific teal/turquoise color. Although I love all "nature" colors (blues, greens, browns, whites)
Gold or Silver: I prefer gold, although I like that my wedding rings are white gold.
Height: 5'-4"

Job title: newborn photographer
Kids: anxiously waiting for God to send us a little one
Live: live happy :)
Mother's Name: Leticia, a.k.a. Lety, mami, mom
Nicknames: I've never really had a nickname. Parents call me "Aimita" sometimes, but it's usually accompanied by "ay Aimita" lol. I had a friend nickname me Aims once. Jared calls me Babe.
Overnight hospital stays: When I had my arthroscopy (shoulder surgery) a year ago exactly.
Pet peeves: Bad grammar, especially when people say "I didn't do nothing". Also, loud chewing noises.
Quote from a movie or tv show: "Put it in a bubble and blow it away"
Right or Lefty: Righty
Siblings: 3 younger sisters.
Time you wake up: 7:15ish sometimes 8 if I'm really tired.
Underwear: yes..

What makes you run late: when I've misplaced things I need for the day (keys, badge, etc.)
X-Rays You've Had: foot when I broke it, finger when I sprained it, shoulder, knee when I sprained it, neck/back at chiropractor, teeth at dentist.
Yummy food you make: I make some good food! some of my favs: teriyaki chicken, Mexican rice, mole, Hawaiian pulled pork
Zoo Animal: Not technically from the zoo, but I love the dolphins at Sea World (it's technically a marine zoo right)

Oh hello blog, long time no see
>> Thursday, September 1, 2011
I'm so sad I haven't had much any time to blog. I'm working part-time only so you'd think I would have more free time but before you know it, I'm caught in a routine I can't seem to get out of.
Jared started school again. Full-time this semester and still working his 3 p.m.- 1 a.m schedule and in the bishopric. The few moments we's get to spend time with each other are bliss. My poor husband finds himself so stressed out sometimes that I feel like it's my responsibility to cheer him up. This week was especially hard on him (and me) but we talked and realized we really should be grateful he has such a good job and he's able to go to school. Things that are worth it, are always challenging. I was reading my friend Bonnie's blog and she's in the same situation as I am, but she sees her husband far less than I do and is a mom so I really should stop complaining. She said something that has really stuck with me this week. "I am happy. I need to remember my trials are small"........ So true.. so true.
Grateful
>> Sunday, August 7, 2011
Today I'm grateful for the opportunity to start a new week, for testimonies, nap/cuddle time with my cute nephew and for making it a whole week without a single unhealthy craving.
Tomorrow, my doctor and I will develop a new plan for me. I'm really anxious and excited to help my body get back in track again.
Weekend in Mexico

This past weekend we went to Sonora, Mexico to visit some of Jared's family. All we did was eat, eat, and eat. Basically everything I haven't eaten in a loooong time. Mexican hot dogs, tacos (the real stuff!), flour tortillas, corn coctails in a cup, cocunuts.... My doctor put me back on a strict insulin resistance (pcos) diet on Monday after returning ( I was expecting this which is why I ate so unhealthily), so at least I went out with a bang no? ;)Sunday was our 2-year anniversary. Crazy how fast time has passed. Excited for the many many years to come :) I love my husband Read more...
One year older (and wiser too)...
>> Wednesday, July 20, 2011
Today, I'm 24! Seems like all that means is that I'm one year closer to getting a normal rate on car rentals and 6 years till I'm 30. whoah. But I have to make the most out of my 24 years of living ;) Lots to accomplish. Watched Harry Potter last night with my friend Shalane. I was really sad to see it end and it really made me realize how old I am. After, I had an early birthday dinner with friends (which I'll post pictures of later) at Benihana. Jared works till midnight and my family's off vacationing in Cancun today, so I think I'll probably be celebrating in a relaxing way today...

>> Monday, July 11, 2011
Jared and I grew up in Arizona but just recently have begun to explore our state. For a mini roadtrip, we hopped into our car and drove a couple of hours to Jerome. Jerome, if I'm not mistaken is the largest ghost town in the U.S. Lots of history, lots of character. Here's what I captured as we went exploring the town. Totally recommend visiting if you haven't done so. And go eat at the Haunted Hamburger. mmm.. the garden burger is delicious!
Summer according to Pinterest
>> Tuesday, June 21, 2011
Summer has officially started, even though here in Arizona it feels like summer way before the good ol' summer solstice. Here are some of the images (via Pinterest) that really captures what Summer is to me and why I love it so much. Yes it's hot and being outside makes you want to melt into a big puddle. And yes, you secretly wish you could run around naked. But I love it. This is why:
Swimming... hanging out by the pool. Especially now that I have a pool :) I reaaally need a tan.
Eating (and drinking) lots and lots of fruit! I love that all my favorites are in season- strawberries and melons, and mangoes yum! Doesn't the above recipe look delicious? I'll have to make it soon.
Summer makes me think of summer vacations- especially when there's a beach involved. My parents are teachers so every summer they'd have off and we got to go on lots of family vacations. It's kind of funny but I didn't realize it until I got married that not everyone has the whole summer off. People still gotta work (unfortunately that means Jared and I too) to pay the rent! sigh. But hey, we might plan a mini vacation to the beach for our anniversary! :)
I will be living in bermuda shorts. I can't stand wearing long pants in the summer. Hate the sweaty leg feeling.
Although I'm not even close to ready for bathing suit season, these bathing suits are super cute!
Lots of color, lots of sun! and a cute hat!
and finally, summer's for celebrating birthdays (sister, bro and sis in laws, nephew, and mine) and anniversaries (my parents and mine)! Read more...
Friday night and I just got paid...
>> Monday, June 13, 2011
RA sushi is so good!
the whole gang.
The in-laws Aaron & Clarissa
Rudy & Adriana
the besties- Edward & Denis
The MacFarlane's- Daniel, Dacil & Ian
the girls.
Enzo's Gelato. This place is legit
Can't forget the guys
My blog title reminds me of the *NSync song "Just Got Paid" haha. I remember dancing to it in dance class freshmen or sophomore year. Lol ah the memories. A bunch of us got together for dinner on friday night and we had a blast. All except Aaron and Clarissa (brother and sister in-law) go to the same ward together. It's so great to have couple friends. It's funny because we all got married within months of each other. Edward and Denis in December of '08, Aaron and Clarissa and Daniel and Dacil in April '09. Then Rudy and Adriana in May and us in July.
Anyways, sushi from RA is soo good and I had leftovers for lunch- yum! Then we headed to Enzo's Gelato. A medium cup of mango, chocolate, and coconut was just the perfect combination. Reminds me of my trip to Europe. My last night in Rome, Italy my friends and I had decided to stay up all night and buy a kilo of Gelato. I don't think we were able to finish it. But hey, we were ambitious. Not to mention exhausted the next day but we did have plenty of hours to sleep on the flight back home. One day, I'll go back! Anyways, back to friday night. To end the night, we all headed to my new casa (which I still need to blog about I know) to watch True Grit.
We are almost completely organized here at home, but work is keeping me from taking the time to put up pictures/decorate/etc. On a different note... guess what?! I went to another acupuncture session and they ran some labs and it looks like my liver enzyme levels are almost completely back to normal. I can almost say I have no liver disease! It's funny because my regular doctors told me there was really nothing I could do and that I'd probably get cirrhosis in 20 years- wha?! yeah... not a good option for me. But anyways, my naturopathic doctors have been great. I'm going tomorrow for another session. Next, I need to control my PCOS. Haven't gotten my period since march and my face is breaking out like crazy and I look so fat and bloated that I'm pretty sure people think I'm at least 3 months preggo. sigh. I really do exercise and eat healthy. I promise. My body's just a tad bit confused right now.
Other than that, Life is good :) Read more...

Poke!
>> Wednesday, May 11, 2011
For someone who doesn't like needles, I certainly got my share of poking this week. I needed to get some lab tests done, and then a tb test for work. On monday night, I went in for an acupunture session at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine Medical Center. It was really cool! For those of you who have never gotten it done (this was my first time), I'll tell you a bit about what they do. They start off by looking at your tongue and then feeling your pulse. Apparently you can tell a lot about how your body is doing by the color and shape of your tongue. My doctor was so informative! Next, I laid down and they used really thin needles and placed them in certain points all over my body- this depends on what you need most. Sometimes, she would hit certain points, my "chi" spots and they would hurt a tiny bit but it wasn't bad. There were a couple of points in my ear that bled (a drop) when the needles were taken out and it turns out that happens because I had excessive chi in my uterus. They focused on my hormonal balance and liver/period issues. I have my follow up next week, so we'll see how it goes. It's really neat how the body functions and just how many channels of energy there are. Hopefully my body will start having balance. I'm ready to be 100% healthy!

>> Wednesday, May 4, 2011
Work was awful today. Some lady tried to get free stuff off of me, didn't succeed, lied and complained. I got yelled at by her nurse. I was called rude and pushy (which is really an oxymoron for me) and was humilated in the hospital hallway. I cried. I punched the nurse in the face and skipped happily out of the hospital. The end.
Ok... So I didn't punch her in the face. I wanted to sooo bad. But I had to be the bigger person. I'm sooo over people like that. Ugh. But guess what? What goes around comes around.
Hope everyone's week is going better than mine.

Day 3
>> Thursday, April 28, 2011
I finally went back to eating low-carb (my doctor will be proud). I also convinced Jared to do it with me. It's so much easier when you have support. My poor husband is hanging in there. We've been doing it since Tuesday. This is what we've had to eat:
Tuesday
Breakfast
Veggie/protein smoothie
Lunch
tuna salad
Dinner
cauliflower pizza (I'll have to post the recipe later. This is delicious!)
Wednesday
Breakfast
veggie omelet
Lunch
tuna ceviche with gluten free crackers
Dinner
leftover pizza
Thursday
Breakfast
soy milk/banana/flax seed smoothie (yum!)
Lunch
Mexican hot dogs with romaine lettuce instead of buns
Dinner
Chicken nuggets (homemade with flax seed) and vegetables
Snacks have consisted of almonds, pecans, cheese, sugar-free pudding, and fruit salad
Not bad eh? Let me know if anyone's interested in any recipes. I'll have to take pictures of what I eat more often.
