Pops

Days where we honor those who have taught us all we know are always my favorite. Today being Father's Day... I am especially grateful for the examples that Steve and I have had and continue to have in our lives. Just look at their faces.

The best way to put it is that we love you, and are beyond words grateful for you, and all that you do for us. We will never be able to get enough of you!!! 

 Happy dad's day. Go Papas.

MIA

Yes, this post is entitled MIA… because, yes, I have been missing in action for the past little while.

We have officially been here in Rancho Cucamonga (the "cooc" as we call it) for 2 weeks now. When I look back at how long we have been here, I swear time is going by faster than usual; but then when it is 4 o'clock in the afternoon and I am sitting on the curb eating a cliff bar for dinner, the minutes take like an hour each to go by. Welcome to summer sales my friends!!

What a life it is.

#1) My husband. He is the best. Some of you already know that….but no, you really have no idea how amazing he really is. A week before we were supposed to leave for the summer, both Mr. and I started having second thoughts about me selling or not.. after months of having the plan that we would both sell this summer (and maybe more summers to come.. more on that later), so that I wouldn't have to go to school and work at the same time, we could buy our first house faster, etc. we were now second guessing ourselves. Long story short, that was so idiotic  of us… like for real.. what were we thinking???

I couldn't imagine not being out here with him, or him here without me. because that would suck. Strong word, but true.

PS… I've already made more in one week here, than I would have made in two months at my job back home… and I was getting paid way more than minimum wage at that pretty place, too. SO.. leading in to my next point.

#2) Hard Job = Amazing Results. You won't find this girl anywhere but on your doorstep for the next 3 1/2 months.. unless it is ten at night, then I will be in my bed exhausted. I won't lie.. last week I wasn't so sure about this whole thing… Every single morning  I would want to throw up and start crying. (That is still the case by the way… don't think it is changing anytime soon either). BUT I would make these amazing people that I am with out here drop me off on the curb and drive away. Crazy, right? But I promised myself that I would do this. It's not for Steve, it's not for any of the other guys selling out here, it's for me. So that I can prove to myself that I can do hard things. Because this is hard. I think I could say that this is the hardest thing I have ever done. Last Tuesday, May 7th, I sat on the curb and finally broke down crying because I hated my life so much. But then I went and got my first sale, and realized that my life is going to go on, and it will be awesome. And I have to keep remembering that every single day.

SHOUT OUT!! To my sweet and loving and supportive and amazing Mr. Warner, as well as all of the family and friends I have out here with me. Definitely couldn't do it with out you. And that is fact.

#3) Birthday. I will be a one week old, 20 year old tomorrow!! How cool is that! It was my birthday last monday, and it was one different than I have ever had before. Normal day of wearing the same attire 6 days out of the week, and a few doors slammed in my face. I tried to play the "but it's my birthday card" a few times.. it didn't work to say the least. Mr. Warner did make sure we celebrated with a sweet dinner at PF Changs that night. Our great friend Michael, and his papa Simon Hodson came and celebrated with us too. They serenaded me with their birthday toons, and it was fantastic. I'm 20 now. People still say that is young, and it's annoying, but its better than having the word "teen" at the end of your age. I can say that I don't feel any different. I have always felt like I'm 23 or 24, so maybe when those ages catch up to me I will start feeling my real age :)

Now that I have written half a novel, I will save the few readers that consume my words and hold off on all of my other thoughts until a later date.. Which won't be two weeks away. I can promise you that. I actually have started a list of what I want to talk about. There is so much. And this summer is going to be so great.

Here We Come

Mr Warner and I are gonna do something...

We are going to leave sweet little #5 that we have been living in for the past eight months,
Sell a lot of our clothes,
Pack up all of our newlywed belongings,
And drive to California together.

We are going to be there for 4 months. 

I can't wait.

Now you are probably wondering, is this that summer sales thing that every single person in Utah County does? Including their dog? And pet fish?

Well yes, yes it is.

But to us it is much more than that "summer sales job".

This job is going to help us reach our dreams, and create a stable foundation for the Warner Family. A foundation that will make it so we can buy our first home by the end of this year.

So, I can't wait.

It is going to be hard, and it is going to be long, and hot... but it'll be awesome.

And yes.

I will be knocking on doors too.

All alone, not with husband.

With mace in hand,

And Dr. Scholls for my feet to love on.

Husband on his way to California  to be a slinger. He rocks my sock and I miss him.<<

I figured that this would be the best way to update fellow readers because I've been about the worst at updating this thing lately! I feel that insta attacks will show up regularly on here. I'm on spring break this week.. which is such a nice break. My days are consumed with work and figuring out what to do with myself because Mr. Warner is gone making the big bucks in bakersfield (try saying that one ten times fast???). I love him for doing it. But I love it more when we are together. Sunday at 4 pm can't come fast enough. I'm going to make myself go to the gym, and try not to eat chocolate covered peanuts.

Love One

How did this whole marriage thing all start?

Here is the story:

{Welcome Mr. Warner as a guest to squared as he shares his side as well. It'll be awesome}

April 17, 2012. My love was going to be leaving me in just one short week to work his little tushy off in the land of Northern California. Considering that fact that we had talked and talked and talked about marriage, gone ring shopping, and still nothing on my hand.. I was getting pissed worried. I was worried that he wasn't going to want me be his wife, and then next time I was going to see him would be in - at the least - 4 weeks... there is no way in the world that he would propose to me then, and then we wouldn't be able to get married before school at the end of the summer… basically my life was over.

Here is the story of how my love proposed to me. {i'm warning you that we are both on a love "high" in this little clip. If we are acting out of the ordinary, that would be why :)}

Is it also weird that I feel like I'm 13 in this video? I swear I don't say "like" that much.. I guess you can just refer to the love "high" mentioned above.

Now do you wanna SEE how this event went down???? Partake of the glory.

Basically it was the best day of my life. Mr. Warner left for California one week after this happened… I cried.. and we began our gushy love texts, and late night talks that would continue for the next 4 months. Thank goodness I had our wedding to plan. Or I would have lost my mind without this kid. 

Engagements? Comin' up next my lovelies. It'll be a good one.

How cool is this?

being good at winning things has never been a forte of mine.. unfortunately. I have kind of given up when it comes to raffles, drawings, and even coloring contests. (Although I don't remember the last time that I did fulfill one of these... with the luck that I have had my entire life, I probably lost). I've come to accept it, I try to be happy for those who beat me. But regardless, seeing my past experience with being the reciepient of free things, It has made me beyond extactic for when I DO recieve something sweet. Like this fun award that is coasting the web right now. Katie nominated me for the Liebster and I got butterflies to say the least. Ridiculous, right? It's awesome. This award is given to blogs with less than 200 followers and is a great way to get your name out there. 

the guidlines:

- list 11 things about yourself

- answer 11 questions the nominee created for you

- choose 11 of your own favorite blogs to nominate

- create 11 questions for them (or use the previous questions)

- let them know they've won

(I don't think my crazy brain can stick to the # 11, so we'll just see what shows up for this fun post)

about me

1. I wish I was an amazing (maybe professional) dancer sometimes, and I am an avid piano lover

2. Rice is my favorie food and drinking milk would make me puke

3. I'm the most ticklish person ever. Just thinking about it makes me cringe up in a ball

4. I love learning. I would go to school for a million years if I could (school is still the worst thing that's ever happened to me sometimes - not sure how that works).

5. You could call me frugal (Mr. loves this). Sometimes I feel bad spending money (even on food)

6.I love crazy jewelry, and can never have enough

7. Skirts and sneakers are some of my favorite things to wear

8. I used to hate going to movies, but now I love them when I get to go with my love

9. My husband helps me figure out who I am most of the time

questions from Katie

1. If you could do anything and money was no matter what would you do?

I would travel around the world with the Mr. and maybe become a sweet, professional blogger (I'm dreaming as I say that). We (husband and I) would be secret Philanthropists.

2. Favorite Holiday

Does the Christmas Holiday in general count? The feeling, smells, hot chocolate and cuddling up in blankets are things that I couldn't live without.  I absolutely love getting gifts for other people too. It makes me so happy. Christmas is like 3 months long in my heart and it's the best.

3. What goals do you have for the next year?

Husband and I WILL buy our first humble abode. Succeed in school, and learn a lot. Get a nice camera and document ever second of the Warner life. Have a really successful summer, where ever we may be.

4. Favorite Movie

August Rush and The Holiday. Seven Pounds is on that list too.

5. Who is your biggest role model?

My life is filled with inspiring, wonderful people. My little sister Bella makes me want to be a better person. Along with all of my other family members. I really hope to be like My Aunt Meri and Grandma Carol too one day.. The most angelic people I know.

6. Who has made the biggest impact on who you are today?

Most definitely my mama. I am who I am today because of that woman.

7. What makes you happy?

The love of my life, Steven Leland Warner. He is the best person on the planet. Waking up to him every morning, and falling asleep in his arms is the best thing I could have ever asked for (sappy I know). He makes me a better person.

Translation Please

This post will be a decoding for all of my beauties (even though a translation for MYSELF about what this whole blogging thing is might be of great help, too! Feel free to comment with guidance and counsel). 

Side Note: I know many won't care to read this, but It could help in the future, so why not, eh?

Quite honestly my nerves have been refuting this whole blogging world for quite some time now... My Mr. and I were conversing the other night about how we need to be "cooler" if you please. No, that is not totally the reason I started this thing. I mainly started it for us (really me, because I doubt the hubs will ever want anything do to with it). But the life of school, work, dinner, homework, talk for 20 minutes, and then sleep, has really gotten to us. I have a feeling these crazy, non-relevant, and probably mindless journal entries will create zero interest for many of those blogger readers out there (I apologize in advance), but it's worth a shot, right? Any who, back to the whole "we need to be cooler"... we decided that we need to start doing things that we've always wanted to do, that we love, and find out any little detail or element about ourselves that we haven't ever known. AKA not be so dull and depressing. So this is where I decided to just go for it. Squared you may ask? Well the cheesy, cliché version is that both of our initials are SW. So SWxSW=SW^2, right? Cool, boring, I know (I really don't love math - so who knows why I thought up an equation to define the life of my lover and I). But reaching further into the depths of the actual meaning squared, it is to be fair, honest, as well as to attempt the impossible. Soooo profound, right? But really, That's what the Mr. and I strive to do and be. It's who we are, and it's what we yearn. 

Welcome to the existence of Squared. 

BELOW:

This is picture of my new name... (just in case anyone forgot that I am married to the coolest guy ever) because it is so awesome and I adore it. We are all about reppin' the Warner over here. 

Well I figured we should get this first post over with... so here it is! Welcome to the life of the Warners...

This is the Mr. 

and I am the Mrs. 

We are SW - Squared.
