Husband

Text convo:
Jordan: I just saw a guy wearing the same shirt as me.
Jamie: That's embarrassing.
Jordan: I know! If I have a class with him, I am dropping it.

I love my husband. He turned 22 on Saturday & we had so much fun celebrating! We went wake boarding with his dad and some friends and we also had a bbq put together by his mom. Here are a few recent pictures. One of my sunburn from wake boarding that doesn't look that bad, but I have been so itchy! I lotion all up but still wake up in the middle of the night frantically scratching.

Grumpy Jamie

     I have been grumpy lately. I still feel like I'm nice and fun to be around, even though i admit to being a grump. Isn't that silly? Jordan probably does not think so. I have been feeling sick and stressful things have been happening with my work and with Jordan's work and even with my calling. I'm terrible at cooking dinner consistently when I'm in a bad mood. My poor husband is so good to me and some days he says, "I'm trying to act weird to make you happy." It really does make me happy when my hunky guy does the dishes or does a silly dance on the way to the grocery store. Marriage is wonderful like that & I guess I stop being in a bad mood now:)

The Queen Mix Up

Last night I was woken up by Mr. Jordan standing over me. He seemed very concerned about something. I tried REALLY hard to figure out what he was saying, but it was around 2 am and everyone knows that is not my hour. He kept saying something about a queen being in his way. I remember thinking to myself, is my Queen album in our bed? After asking him to repeat himself many times I decided to get up, use the bathroom, get a drink and hopefully make since of it all. When I came back he was sleeping on his side of the bed. I was too tired to try to wake him up...............The next morning during or snuggles I asked the boy what he had tried to tell me. Apparently he was having a dream that we were King and Queen, and Queens ALWAYS sleep on the left side of the bed & I was on the right. Why didn't I realize I had mixed up the royal order? lol

Groesbeck Family Reunion

My Groesbeck fam reunion is something everyone involved looks forward to. My grandparents have 9 children, so you can imagine it is a great time. This year was Jordan's first time invited & he loved it! We stayed at a big cabin near Manti. There were so many people we stayed it a tent. I really had a great time seeing everyone! We really missed my sister Jennifer and her family, though:(


Here are the few things I captured on my camera...

The snake Mr. Jordan caught. He just grabbed it by the tail and spun around in circles until he could grab the head to avoid being bitten. The snake constricted around his hand and was strong enough to cut off circulation. We calmed it down and played with it for quite a long time.

Pretty Kaci holding the snake.

We thought we would scare my mom, but she actually loved it. Kara, on the other hand, would freak out every time we took it close to her.

We borrowed a blow up water slide from Jordan's dad. It was SO much fun. The kids there loved it so much.

Cooper manned this water gun like a champ. He had little interest in the slide or being in the water.

This toy gun was his favorite. He played with it any chance he could. He even learned how to pump it and squirt innocent bystanders. He is a fun little nephew:)

It was such a fun reunion! I am so grateful for all of my family and the things they do to bring us together.

A moment to vent...

I know my life is a rose, and possibly only has one thorn, but I will vent anyway. I'm sick of being so dizzy all the time. That is all. If any of you have experiences with low blood pressure/dizziness and can tell me how to fix it, I will love you forever. <3

Barnes & Noble

For our date activities, Jordan & I love to go to Barnes and Noble. It really is pretty awesome that I married a guy who shares my love of reading. You may think it's weird to go here to sit and read, but go to the Orem library and you will understand. They have NO books. If you want a specific book, chances are there is a 50 person waiting list and inquiring at the counter for assistance results in laughter from the employees. Hence, we go here until someone shapes up that dumb library or we move somewhere else. Today I finished Brandon Mull's second book in the Beyonder's series, Seeds of Rebelion. Then I started his book, The Candy Shop War's. Both are fabulous, fun reads. My reading partner is pretty handsome!

6 month celebration!

               For our 6 month celebration Jordan and I tried a friend recommended restaurant, Mama Chus. We love us some Mexican food, so we decided to take a chance. 

            When we pulled up, we almost doubted our decision, but decided not to turn around. We were pretty hungry.

       While we waited we ate the really spicy salsa. We tried to take a picture with a jalapeno chunk and I had my tongue out in a "this is spicy" manner, and the little punk named Jordan tried to put a massive jalapeno inside my mouth:( I may look amused, but I was not.

     Jordan was VERY happy that he could get two smothered burritos for about $8.

      Our frozen cake was basically a disaster. Jordan's dad was so good and tried really hard to preserve it for us. It just got very soggy and yucky. Our reactions tell a great story.

     Like I posted earlier, our marriage is a blessing & I enjoy every second of it. I am so lucky to have Mr. Zeus in my life. He is pretty amazing!
