Who's ya Nanny?!

This is now my fifth week as a new member of the Hunt family. And honestly... I'm loving it more and more each day! :) You know those moments that moms talk about where they've had a crazy and stressful day with the kids and they wanna string 'em up by their toes... and then they say or do the sweetest thing that makes them love being a mom? Ya. Kay. This happens to me! I have exact nanny moments like this!
Example A:
Thomas (turned 10 months on Tues!) will scream his head off whenever I change his diaper, but then when I pick him up from the changing table, he'll bury his little head under my neck and lay there for a few moments-just silent and happy to be in my arms again.
And when he's concentrating on some toy he's playing with, he makes this gurgly/growly sound in the back of his throat and it always makes me laugh. I call him my dragon baby.
Example B:
I made cookies with Tobin and Sophie tonight before bed. I love cookies so much, and I thought it would be fun for the kiddos. But as we start putting the ingredients in, the competition begins. EVERYTHING with those two is a competition. Who gets to pour in what, who got the most, whose is the biggest, who had the last say, yada yada yada.It gets extremely annoying and exhausting to deal with! Especially at night before bed! But just when I'm totally regretting this and making a mental note to never let them help again, Sophie says how I'm such a fun nanny and I get an A+ haha. 
None of these things mean much to anyone else, but they mean a lot to me. And when I'm home with these monkeys all day long, I really do love taking care of them and hearing their silly conversations and conclusions on life. They seriously crack me up, and it's hard not to laugh at some of the things they say. Like they were asking me last night if the devil is an animal hahaha. And they were asking in all seriousness too. Maybe it's not that funny. haha. You had to be there.
Today was definitely one of those days where I felt like a super nanny. I got so much done, it was awesome!
As for my singles ward, the second sunday was an improvement. I met two girls that are going to FIDM and they seem way awesome and sweet. Their names are Olivia and Kortni. I feel like we'll get along really well. 
Then after church Sunday, I was walking out to my car when two guys in the parking lot, named Steve and David, asked if I was new and wanted to know if I'd like to come to their place to eat dinner before the CES fireside with Elder Holland. I thought, eh why not? One was the elders quorum president and the other one was the first counselor and I didn't get any creeper vibes so I went.
Long story short: it was a total grilling and interrogation session. If it's happened to you, you know what I mean. This is probably the third or fourth time that this has happened to me, and the signs are always the same! I should've known better by now! 
The entire time since I got in the car, until we went back to the church for the fireside, they were asking me questions off their mental 'future companion' check lists. Questions like, so.. are you dating anyone? When was the last boyfriend you had? Are you waiting for anyone? What about those friends in Mexico you were talking about? All my brothers are married.. ya know.. in case you like what you see and you thought there might be more. What do you want out of this singles ward? How old are you? How old do you wanna be when you get married? Why did you break up with your last boyfriend? ----ALL of these questions were asked of me, and more. What the heck, you marriage crazed leeches??!! GO AWAY. 
These types of guys are always in their late twenties, feelin the pressure, and always the first ones you meet. Without fail. 
But I did remember this rule of thumb about the first guys you meet in singles wards, so I was somewhat prepared for the little dinner fling to flop.
But once he found out I was 19, he sort of backed off with the questions about my potential future as his wife, which I was relieved about.
There's nothing wrong with 19 and getting married then. But he was 28, sick of putting time into relationships, wanted to skip all the 'get to know you' time and clearly thought I was older. Sorry chum. Not interested in guys like you. Never have been. Never will be. Have a nice life.
He pretty much ditched me at the devotional once we got there. I think my age really tripped him up haha. goooooood.
Now if someone could bring in the ones worth actually talking to, please. And thank you.
Once that happens, then we'll surely be in business ladies and gentleman! There's nothin else I could possibly want at this point. So bring it on.
As for online school, it's not that hard. Especially the classes I'm taking. The biggest problem is finding a fetching proctoring service in L.A. and getting everything set up before my first exam next saturday... blah. I had to fax these people, then they have to fax me, and I have to fax weber state who has to fax them. ya ya, stupid! It's the hardest part, I'm tellin' ya.
But all is well in my part of town, and it's really starting to feel like my life instead of some random life I'm pretending to live.
Do I make sense? I don't know.
Here's to week 3 in Beverly Hills and week 5 as a nanny. :) 
wahoo!
Much love,
