I HATE BUGS


So i pretty much HATE any type of bug with a passion... Ask Trevor, i freak out about bugs. They seriously creep me out and they are so gross... So i had a wonderful experience this past Sunday with bugs. Yeah definitely not wonderful at all. You will probably want to puke after reading what happened to me. I almost did.
So we just got out of sacrament and headed over to the primary room for opening exercises with our seven year old class. I went and sat down by the kids. A little boy in our class named Logan said "Umm... Alyssa you have a bug in your hair." At this moment i was just expecting a little bug but when i placed my hand on my head it was a COCKROACH!!!! I freaked out and threw it off my head and really couldn't believe that that just had happened to me. It was the most disgusting thing EVER!!!! All the kids, of course, started laughing at me... Someone finally killed it and that put me at peace. Did i mention that i really hate bugs?? Yeah i thought i did. So the Primary president comes up to me and she said that cockroaches climb the walls all the time in that room and that i must had leaned against the wall and it climbed on me. I will never make that mistake ever again in that primary room that is all i can say ha.

Scariest Thing Ever...


So on Friday pretty much the worst thing happened to me. It makes me want to cry even thinking about it... So i wake up and getting ready work on Friday morning. i am just about the leave out the door when i had a feeling to look down at my wedding ring. As i looked down at it i screamed and started shaking... My middle big diamond was GONE!!!! I stared at my finger for about 2 minutes trying to figure out if i was dreaming or if this was actually really happening to me!! Sadly, it was not a dream. It had fallen out some where and i had no idea where it was!!! I seriously was freaking out crying and running around the house frantically looking for it. I searched and pulled my bed apart, searched my carpets and bathrooms and everywhere i could think of!! I prayed and prayed and prayed that i would find the diamond. I searched for about an hour which felt like a year and did not find anything... I thought it was gone forever... As tears filled my eyes again with disappointment and sadness, i decided i would kneel down again and say another prayer. After i was done praying, i had an overwhelming feeling that i needed to go search my bathroom floor one more time. I went into the bathroom and on the floor was my diamond to my ring! I started to cry tears of happiness and gave thanks to my Heavenly Father for answering my prayers! I am so grateful that i found my diamond and that my prayers were answered. I love my Heavenly Father and the love he has for me.

San Fransisco

We were able to attend a little family reunion in San Fransisco a couple of weeks ago. Well we actually stayed in Sanoma for most of the time and then went into San Fransisco for a day to see everything. Sanoma was beautiful. Trevor's grandpa got everyone together to come down for his 70th birthday. We arrived at his grandpa's house i was really knowing what to expect because i had never been to Sanoma or his house before. Trevor told me it would be a little different. So we show up and his house totally looks like Tia Rosas! haha it was seriously like being in a Santa Fe Restaurant. They have such a cool style. Pretty much what we did in California is eat, rent vespas, eat again, site see around the city, eat some more, go to china town, eat a little more, get sun burned, eat even more, take family pictures, hike, oh and did i mention that we ate? We seriously ate non stop. Trevor's grandparents love to eat and plan meals. We seriously would just be done eating dinner and grandpa would ask us right after what should we eat for the next meal and we would all just laugh. haha it was great. I felt like i gained like a 100 pounds after leaving his house. Oh funny story... So when we were in the San Fransisco for a day we met a lot of crazy people. We stopped at a McDonald's to go pee and would not believe what happened to us... We were sitting down waiting for everyone to get done doing what they had to do and this old homeless man came in with all of his stuff. He comes to sit down by us and totally wips out a box with a ton of cocaine in it. He then proceeds to snort it right in front of us in McDonald's. Can you believe that! It was seriously disgusting. I could not believe it was happening ha. Trevor got asked, as we were walking in McDonald's if he had some LSD too ha. San Fransisco has a ton of crazy people down there. It was really a fun trip and we just loved being together. The next family trip is planned for New York and we cant wait! I have never been and i have wanted to go for so long... We will see if we really actually go! i sure hope so! Here are some pics from the trip. I will put some better ones up as soon as i get them from my mother in law. These ones are from my phone and are pretty crappy.

Trevor got a mad farmer's tan from riding the vespas all day! He wasn't too happy about it haha.

There were a million seals in a bay in San Fran. It was so funny to watch them!
Trev and I out by the bay in San Fran. It was always freezing by the water! other than that it was super hot..
Us again in San Fran on the side walk
There were these cool robot guys all painted up on the side walks doing weird dances which was so cool! They looked liked actual robots!
Okay this was the funniest thing ever... We were walking across the street in China town when like a 90 year old lady grabbed Travis's arm and asked him to walk her across the street. She reminded me of the grandma from Mulan ha.

Go to www.peopleofwalmart.com and you will see why i find this site so amusing. haha It is so true about what kind of people you run into at Walmart! I love it! You will find the funniest things on this website. I think it is hilarious and ridiculous that people will actually go out in public like this. What are they thinking??

Happy Anniversary to Us...

I cannot believe it has already been one year since i was sealed to my best friend for time and all eternity. It really was the best day of my life. He is such a wonderful husband and i couldn't have asked for a better guy. He really does so much for me and makes me feel so special everyday! I wish we could go back and get married all over again because our wedding day was so much fun! My parents on both sides, families, and friends did such a wonderful job to make our day so special. It was absolutely PERFECT!

Last night for our anniversary, Trevor took me to the place he asked me to marry him for dinner. We also went on a gondola ride. It was like our engagement night all over again. We ended the night with Yogurtland (our favorite) and seeing Iron Man 2! That movie was so awesome. What a great way to end a perfect night! Everything was amazing and he did a wonderful job planning everything. :)

I cannot wait for many more years to come with my loving husband. He is the love of my life and i couldn't live without him. I love you Trevor Scott Nichols with all my heart and thank you for all you do and the love you have for me....

Pictures from our Wedding Day...


We opened our wedding cake, that we froze for a year, and decided we would smash the cake in each others faces again. :)

My Early Anniversary Surprise!


Let me just start off by saying that Trevor is THE best husband in the world and spoils me way too much! So here is how the story goes... I have been wanting a new puppy for about a year now and we weren't finding any great deals on any Yorkie puppies. Yorkie puppies are my FAVORITE and i didn't want to settle for any other puppy. So i wasn't really thinking about getting a puppy anytime soon. One day this week i decided that i needed to look on craigslist to see if there were any postings on a new Yorkie puppy. the first posting i saw was for a 10 week old Yorkie puppy! Exactly what i wanted!! So i immediately emailed the lady with the puppy and never got a response.... I then later looked the next day on craigslist to see if the posting was still there but it had been taken off.. i was devastated but just put it behind me. A lady at Trevor's work told us that she would be selling Yorkie puppies in the next 7 weeks so i got excited for that and just thought we would go look at puppies then. Little did i know, Trevor was planning something behind my back!

On Tuesday night i got a call from Trevor at work asking me to get work on Wednesday morning because he had a surprise to take me too and that it was the only day and time to do it and that it was an early anniversary present. (i seriously had no clue it was a
puppy because 1st of all i thought the one i wanted was sold and 2nd of all i didn't think we could get another puppy for another 7 weeks from that lady)

So we are driving the next morning on the way there, with me in anticipation on where the heck we were going. We arrive at a Starbucks in Chandler and i was a little confused. Trevor told me we were meeting someone there and that we had to wait for her. the lady finally pulled up in her car and when she started to walk towards us, she was holding the 10 week old baby Yorkie! I seriously was ecstatic and couldn't believe Trevor had really got her for me!

The first buyer fell through on the puppy and the lady had emailed Trevor back and not me because Trevor wanted to surprise me! Let me tell you, i
t definitely was a SURPRISE!!! So happy early anniversary to us! I named her Bella and we just love having her... I love My husband and the wonderful things he does for me to make me happy. :)

My Mothers

I know this is a little early, but i think that mother's day is everyday! My mom is my best friend and has gotten me through a lot over the years. She means the world to me and i don't know what i would do without her in my life. She would do anything for me. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful mother that loves me and cares for me. I cherish all the memories that i have with her and cannot wait to make more. She is someone i look up to and aspire to be. My mom is such a great example to me and everyone around her. I can only hope to be like her some day towards my children. She is always thinking of everyone else before herself and always doing things for other people. She seriously is the best mom in the world and i wouldn't trade her for anything!

I also have another new mom that i absolutely love! Trevor's mom Carolee is so sweet and loving! i just love being a part of their family and love being around her example. She is always so happy and is always thinking of others before herself. She has done so much for Trevor and I and we just love her to pieces. I wish i had a picture with just me and her but i don't! i will find one and post it!

Happy Mother's Day to the BEST Moms in the world!
