Well we have almost been all moved in for almost a full week!
Holly loves having her friends Mookie and Abbie back to play with her.
John has been working odd shifts...which isn't fun for any of us. But we're getting by. Which is always good. Especially since we are living in my parents small basement.
I saw my knee (well joints) doctor today and I have "loose joints" this includes my shoulders (which isn't the best thing I spose) seeing that if I were to move my arms a certain way that they could possibly tear the cartilage and depending on the size of tear that isn't a good thing and would have to go in for surgery...yeah not good. He didn't say much about my knees though which have been hurting a lot a lot...basically he said not to bend them for long periods of time...John wasn't very happy with him since he was about 45 minutes late to seeing me.
Yup well thats about it for now!
We'll keep you posted on more of whats going on in our life!
Love,

woohoo...I am back!
Well I got back in town yesterday afternoon and it was fun...but then in the middle of the night (when I woke up out of the blue...) I realized my entire body was aching...(especially my shoulders).
I was so exhausted when John came to visit (yes visit! He didnt stay..) that all we did was get panda express and that wasnt very yummy like it normally is...and walked through walmart then he drove me home. That was it...yup and he looks like shaggy from scooby doo (his hair is long and shaggy and he's got a beard going on...I dont like it..at all)
yeah thats about it...

and the circle continues...
Well last night John and I had a major fight...but he apologized for calling me a bitch...So I guess its a start. We agreed to work things out and that he is going to compromise and such. So I am flying back Saturday morning. And honestly I don't know how I am going to entertain myself for roughly about a 5 hour flight. So we'll see, maybe I will read Safe Haven again, or maybe I won't we'll just have to see what goes about I guess.
I wish I had a new Sarah Dessen book to take with me on my flight- and If I had any money I would go buy one tomorrow and save it for the plane ride. Maybe I can convince my parents to put about $15 in my account...maybe.
Mmmm I just love how my bed already has stains on it...(I honestly dont know what they are from...which is SUPER gross) although some are mascara smears from crying (we dont need to get into that) but most are from who knows what...UGH I seriously HATE my hair...I just wish I could save it all off, but I know I would be super miserable if I did that...I guess I am just very annoyed with a lot of things right now ie: this netbook, my hair, clothes in general, my phone from verizon, etc...
But anyway I just wanted to share the news that I will be going back to UT after all on Saturday...so yeah thats about it...

I'm sick of going in rapid circles...
Basically John and I were working things out, and I was supposed to go back to UT on Saturday (practically 3 days away)...but it looks like that wont happen. I got all of my hopes up thinking that maybe just maybe this time things would work out...but no...that is not the case and with him it never will be...
When I told him my opinion on compromising things...that was a "mistake" he blew up in my face and as usual he said that there was no compromising anymore and that we had to do things either his way or its the highway...but that is definitely NOT how a marriage works EVER.
So basically I am stuck in California until further notice...I should have seen this coming, seriously...this is typical John...says he will do one thing and then twists his words to his liking a few days to a month later to make him in control of the situation...and then his story changes...I feel like this is ALL MY FAULT! I could have prevented getting married soooooo many times...and now I am stuck in a marriage that my own "husband" doesn't well didn't even want in the first place...
This has gotten soooo bad that I finally cracked and asked for a blessing...Which I should remind you IS NOT LIKE ME! At all! I NEVER ask for them even when I know it would help sooo sooo much....I guess I am just stubborn and have a stupid pride issue where I have a hard time asking for things I either need or think would be good for me (I guess thats one way to put it)
But I dont know I guess its just so hard to be in an unhappy marriage that neither of you really wanted (thats how I see it as...because I was happily dating another guy when John swooned me over -both when I was dating around and when I was recently broken up with him-John)...and then to see all of your friends (or acquaintances) that you have met/made along the years are all happily married. I mean I have tried sooo hard to get away from him and now I am stuck with him until further notice...And on top of that I am sure I have lost at least 5 lbs since I arrived here in CA..I just wish that for once in my life a guy would give a fuck about me and actually treat me with respect- that I rightfully deserve...but apparently everyone else in this world seems to believe otherwise...that 1. I don't deserve to be happy, and 2. that I don't deserve to be treated with any respect because I am apparently a cold hearted bitch....Basically right now I would give anything to have either a happy marriage or to be killed instantly in a car accident...or even drown..because seriously my life sucks ass right now. I have no job, no money,no car, and my dog is being held captive by my soon to be ex husband who keeps her locked up for hours on end...I miss her like crazy...I havent had her in my possession since maybe february of this year...I only had her for maybe like 3 months before he whisked her away...
I seriously cannot take this pain anymore, its seriously killing me and I dont feel welcome at church so I dont ever go anymore...which isnt good but still I just wish John would get his head out of his ass and realize that what he is doing is NOT OK! I mean maybe if we lived in like the 20's then maybe it would be ok but still anyway I think I am gonna go cry myself to sleep now...and maybe I will sleep better tonight (at least my migraine left- for now anyway)
Maybe things will change within the next 2-3 days BUT I highly doubt it...But I will gladly keep you posted.

Basically since my last post at 12:45 I have yet to sleep! Grrrrrr VERY frustrated....especially since the world is asleep I cant even manage to get cozy and fall asleep gay. Plus I am still not even that tired....maybe, maybe I will be able to sleep within the next half an hour...

12:45 am and all is good
Haha so today has been rather interesting....
Woke up at 3:00 PM -it was a very much needed sleep length
decided since the day was practically gone I needed to get up...talked to John and checked my mass amounts of messages and went on Facebook (basically the norm)
was up for a total of 3 hours before taking a nap for an hour and a half
went into the kitchen to get a bowl of cereal (basically what is keeping me alive haha....cereal and root beer)
hung out for a few hours and then got a call from a friend saying there was a party at 9:30-1:30 am decided I needed to get out of the small bedroom of mine...So I drive out to where its at....decide I am starving for some food- so I leave. Haha
Go out and drive some more and find a Wendy's get a Jr Bacon Cheeseburger and a value fry. YUM! Then I realize no drink? I need some Coffee :) From my favorite all time place the 711! (my card kept getting declined...so the nice guy at the register told me not to worry about it...AHHH how nice- he was a creeper though thats for sure haha)
And now I am here with a headache....sad day! BUT on the bright side 6 days until I get to see my darling husband and baby girl <3 ah how I missed them so :) It'll be nice to have this "awesome" vacation behind me... but yeah I am SUPER stoked for saturday to roll around YAY! Plus my mother is going to find some pallets for me so I can make a sweet coffee table yeah!
Anyway thats my day for you...
John's was more busy-like and putting cutie pie Holly in time out for peeing on the freakin sofa...packing, sleeping, watching Friends, and making some dinner, sleeping, packing and sleeping haha yeah I think thats basically it...I think haha
Well if not you'll surely hear about it later

8 days to go!
...Eight days away from being back home with my cute hubby and the rest of my family, can't wait!
I had my parents send a duffle bag type of suitcase and well I may be able to get everything, well almost everything to fit (with the exception of the twin sized comforter, a large standing lamp, and a bucket of some sort that I had purchased here in CA). Yes I would love to take the standing lamp with me to add to our collection of almost non existent furniture but still if it wont fit into a duffle bag then it'll have to wait.
Although things may seem to be going well...today was not one of those extremely happy days...I needed to call Gold's Gym about my membership...basically it'll cost me OVER $700 JUST TO CANCEL it! Even though I have NEVER once used it! Yeah it sucks...and the person I was talking to I think he said his name is "Yuki" yeah he was very vicious! (In my opinion) wouldn't even let me get a freakin word in! GR!
Yeah thats basically it for today...Although I really wish my flight was for tomorrow...and not the following week....sooooooo very lame! Oh well hopefully it will go quickly like this stupid week has haha. Yes I am still a bit upset with Gold's (by the way(in my opinion) they OVER charge on EVERYTHING! I definitely DO NOT recommend getting a membership with them! As my husband would put it- they are SHARKS!) haha
Yay my food is almost done, another 15 more minutes to go :) maybe this time it wont be super gross...(but you never know until you try) haha
Well thats all for today!

Relax, Breathe, & Smile
Well things are slowly looking up :)
Basically we just need to remember those three {technically four} words..."relax, breathe, & smile" Stress may have an advantage over us, but we have a choice on whether to let it win us over or not. As for me {Kristin Rice} I am not letting it control my life {at this current moment in time}
I am excited to be finally going home to my hubby and family after a looooooooong and extremely stressful summer. John purchased my one-way plane ticket back to Salt Lake, Utah only a few days ago. And the anticipation is seriously getting to me....its not even a week away and I am already worried about how I am going to decorate our tiny, tiny "basement apartment" when I get back I cant wait to be home with my dear family and friends on the 20th!
I have decided I am going to be a happier person or try to be anyway {in anything that I do}. This would include:
- not picking fights with anyone I come in contact with- something that I am very good at...no I am not proud of it...
- smile often
- make unnoticed yet kind gestures.
- keep my living space(s) clean and organized...since a clean house is a happy house {or so they say}
- exercise even if this means using Wii fit.
and of course
- eating healthier
Ahhh I was just thinking how nice it will be to see my baby girl again :) as in my puppy {not for long- she'll be a year in October} Holly, she is my sweetheart and my princess- I enjoy spoiling her very much- haha oh just wait till we get pregnant {which wont happen for a while} but oh boy will that child of ours be spoiled...haha
If any of you happen to know of some cheap yet cute DIY home decor projects Please send them my way! With either a link on how to make it or the directions! Here are some things I would like to do:
anything with a monogrammed "R"
some type of a room divider (for the living room type area and a makeshift kitchen/dining area)
a way to separate the "bedroom" from the rooms listed ^ {above}
decorative pillow covers
blankets {one of my favorite things to quilt/sew}
storage solutions {including a closet replacement} seeing there is no closet haha
etc
OH and maybe a cute dog bed! haha thanks!

Life
Well things have been pretty hectic these past few summer months.
My grandfather almost died. But thankfully survived, so my mother and I came out to CA to help out. Then there was a misunderstanding between JR and myself. So in the end I stayed here to help while my mother went back to UT.
While I have been out here helping, JR basically lost his job at Credit Attorney, and had to reapply for the same company up in SLC. {they are more like or were sister companies} So while I am stuck here he has been moving everything out of the what used to be cute 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment. {just as recent as half an hour ago, he found mold under my side of the bed}...YUCK...
Thankfully my parents are letting us move into their basement until we can find a nicer apartment. And become stable again. I think it'll be nice for Holly to have her friends back in her life. {Meaning Mookie and Abbie} I think she'll be very happy to be able to play with them again haha.
Anyway hopefully within the next few weeks I will be back in UT
Love, The Rice Family
