bloghop.

I decided that I was going to introduce myself on the "Blizzard Bloghop".

If you already know me, this blog post will probably be a bore...

My name is Alexandra. I am married to a Marine who I have known since 2nd grade....we are both from Murray, Utah.
We went to elementary, Jr High, and High school together...
Once I graduated high school, I started going to a local community college.

(high school graduation with bff)

There was a short period in 2008 when I lived in New York City. I went there for six months for a semester at the New York School of Interior Design. It was an amazing experience and I'll forever be grateful for the time I got to spend there.
I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the big city.

                                               central park.                         times square.

 

                                                   bronx zoo.                       columbus circle water fountain.

cafe on my street. 84th and columbus.

My husband went on an LDS mission to Stockholm, Sweden were he spent two years preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

He joined the Marine Corps upon his arrival home and we started dating soon after...

One thing let to another, and we got engaged to be married!

I finished up my degree at the community college and got my Associates in Interior Design.
Four days later...we got married!

We are stationed at MCAS Miramar in San Diego. Jon was deployed soon after we moved here.

I am currently going to school at San Diego State University.
I am going for my bachelor's degree and my major is currently undetermined...

I love living here in the sunshine and warmth. It is a lot different then how I grew up!

I am anxiously awaiting my husbands homecoming and keeping myself busy with crafts, school and looking for a job...

oh, and i have a big cat with a tiny head who pees and sleeps in sinks.

mixing business with pleasure...

makes for a funky outfit.

its still going well...

not much else is going on in my life.

i have a job interview on friday...and school is pushing along.
i am happy.

I love not wearing any pants to school.

here i am, not wearing pants on day two.

i am already bored with this and mad that i don't have very many church clothes.

on an unrelated note, i may POSSIBLY have found a job.

i may also possibly join a christian sorority....FUNNY right??

wish me luck in both endeavors.  

i'm serious about the job. 

i don't know how serious i am about the God-fearing sorority. 

but wish me luck, nevertheless.

no pants dance./wk 32.

i randomly stumbled upon this post yesterday.

maybe someone linked me to it, but i can't, for the life of me, remember who. 

i decided to do the same thing. 

i'm going to wear a skirt errrday for a week.

today was day one and i already want to give up.

ps. i started school at San Diego State University. 

soo legit, right?

it has been so fun with katie here.

today we just drove around and explored.

we, of course, went grocery shopping and compared prices at a couple stores.

our new favorite thing to do is coupon clip. so frugal!!

we met up with katie robinson 2, and walked around downtown. 

we ate at yard house-just LOOK at that sandwich!!!

so big.
oh, and i think the camera flash hit my ring at just the right angle. 

it was so fun with katie one and two.

i love them both. 

tomorrow, we will sneak into the zoo!!

wk 30.

this is the only photo i was in last week! weird! so i guess i'll use it. 

i told about it here.

my family and i started a new blog. 

all six of us take one picture every day. 

my dad.

my sister and her husband. 

my other two sisters.

check it out here. Robinson 365.

p.s. i'm back in san diego and my oldest sister is here for a whole week.

soo funn!!!

holidays.

this is what living out of a suitcase for a month looks like.

i'm going to be sad leaving my family, especially my grandma, this weekend...

but i am so ready to have my own space with places to put everything. 

as you can imagine, i am so frustrated with my current living conditions. 

it's been really great being here. i currently DON'T have a legit camera, so these are taken from lizzie on fb.

this was christmas day. me with the birthday girl.

then the three of us and lizzie celebrated NYE! it was such a ball with these cuties.

we celebrated at 10 with audrey and then drove them home. 

at real midnight, we had robbie bang pots and pans. 

we came back inside and i put him in a blanket to warm him up and the next thing i know, he's sound asleep. cutest little kids. 

and this is how gary and i celebrate every christmas, puzzling!

this year, he got me a 500 piece puzzle. it was much too easy.

we went back and got a 1,000 piece puzzle which was way better! it took a few days and boy those painting ones are difficult. 

it's been such a good vacation!
