I'm 100% no good at blogging. BUT. I kind of think of it as a journal sometimes, and I want to catch up for my own sake. Problem is- I'm sleepy. So I am blogging about the things I want to blog about because I know this is the only way I will actually get around to writing about them. I don't want to prove myself as a slacker just for fun.. that would be dumb.
First of all, I've been married for over a year! Our one year anniversary was awesome. Second.. we have had all kinds of changes. Third? Codes and Keys. YESSS. Fourth. Sister missionaries? It's killin me! Fifth. Well number 5 is just lots of stuff. Like all the stuff in my head that isn't a story, but lots of thoughts.
Okay I decided to take care of number 3 right now.
Ben Gibbard --> Death Cab --> Codes and Keys --> Monday Morning --------->
Alexandra Morgan Winkel Malovich
"She may be young but she only likes old things.. and modern music it ain't to her taste. She loves the natural light... captured in black and white. She sees mirages and mountain ranges, in the blink of an eye is changes, back to the open range, oh no she can't explain."
Okay I feel like a weirdy writing song lyrics but it's worth listening to. It's seriously me to a T. I know I've previously blogged about "old things, old people, old ideas,'' also photography, and even Ben Gibbard. Seriously when I heard this song for the first time I almost couldn't handle the fact that Ben Gibbard and Death Cab don't actually know me. It was that weird.
Well I'm off. But I'll be back! With pictures even. Well maybe.

My name is Ali.
As in Allie, Alli, Alley Cat, Alexandra.... and so on.
Ali as in a girl's name. NOT and never will be Ali as in Muhammad Ali.
Thanks for understanding.
And if this really ever confused you, you're mental.
Oh and if you're one of those who've asked me if I'm related to Muhammad Ali... you're just plain retarded and you should stop speaking.

Chan taught me that this was important.
It's funny that remembering a phrase just how it was said can take you right back to the moment it happened. It's important. It makes life a little more interesting.
From Work:
"If you're gonna have an adopted grandma you have to put up with her anxiety!"
"Thank You Spank You and Blank You!"
"I'm married.. I don't want to hug you... All the girls here are married..."
"Well tell them they should hire all single girls because I want to hug them all."
"Beautiful Henna... Beautiful my friend! Beautiful! Henna!
"Beautiful Ali... Beautiful my friend! Beautiful! Ali!
"Hola Ali... Hola Henna! Beautiful my friends, Beautiful!"
From Alexander:
"This vacuum just... just kicks ass!"
"Let me ask you something. Did you have any boogers in Cancun? Because I didn't get any, and now that we are home I have a lot!"
"I'm a beautiful marlin!" (Andrew).... "And I'm an elegant coy!" (Alex)
From College:
"Stop eating Jeremy, it's Fast Sunday."
"I think Kristy spoke elf to me the other day..."
"Who the hell told Marcus Farcus he could come up here and cook bacon?!"
"I'm confused right now... how much is this? I only know Swiss moneys!"
All Over:
"Can't you just shutup for like... 10 seconds?!" -Connor to Tate in Primary
"Somebody got all the damn apples!" -An old crazy guy at the grocery store
"Those are wild, they look like your underwear." -My dad about Tracee's shoes
From Life:
"The only thing you really own is your story."
"Life is short, but wide." (As in... life is short, but we can go in millions of directions)
"Once you get it, you dust it."

crap that wakes me up
the dumb dog across the street that barks all day and all night. i swear to you he doesn't sleep.
the neighbor CHATTING away with her hair-cutting clients right outside my bedroom window. usually making lunch plans that probably never happen. oh and her dog that barks and her baby that cries and CRIES.
my lack of pain pills.
the sweet jehovah's witnesses knocking at my door. then ringing my doorbell. then knocking at my door. then going to the neighbors. then being rejected by the neighbors. and chatting away all the while.
remembering something that i forgot to do at work. now its been 12 hours and it's probably irrelevant. well either that or pablo is dead. crap.
alex coming home from a long day at work. well a short day at work but still.. a whole day at work and his wife is still sound asleep.
my sister calling to see if i want to go to lunch. actually, i won't even have breakfast for another hour or two.
the beautiful bling-ding sound of my dying phone.
as you can see.. i am blogging about what wakes me up. its a big part of my life.

.secret.time.
I absolutely love my husband. Just the thought of him gets to me. But I have to admit something. After Alex, I love two other boys.
First other love:
chumlee. do you know who he is? probably not.

Meet Chumlee.Dimebag Darrell t-shirt and all.
He is so freaking cute I can't even stand it.
Chumlee is the best part about the show Pawn Stars.
Alex loves him too. If I'm at work and Alex is watching Pawn Stars,
He'll text me what Chumlee is up to that time.
He's the cutest stupid boy i've ever seen.
and even though i am sure he's experienced in life...
he just a child. very innocent.
love it.
Next time I'm even near Vegas, I'm not leaving till I see Chumlee.
Alex even says I can kiss him on the cheek.
.CAN'T WAIT.
Second Other Love:
Benjamin Gibbard.
My goodness his voice melts my heart.
I feel like a little girl again.
Once, I truly thought I loved all five of the backstreet boys.
Well except A.J. of course, he was weird. Anyways...
I feel feelings i probably shouldn't feel when i listen to him sing.
Ben Gibbard is my inspiration. I could (and often do) listen to him all day long.
He has been a part of more bands and collaborated
with more amazing artists than...
pretty much anyone.
i can only describe him as too good to be true.
except,
he's true.
ahh. amazing.
he writes real music. with real meaning and real thought and real intent.
none a this nasty shiz that is creeping into the minds of poor poor children...
oh dear.
I've suddenly realized I haven't been working hard enough at hearing him live.
It's my next major goal.
.CAN'T WAIT.
Just don't forget. Alexander is my #1.

January? Really? Oh... right. Six months of marriage? Oh... right.
So I have this awesome friend named Lindsey Nelson and she reminded me that I am pretty behind on blogging, so here I am, with no idea what I'll say yet. For some reason I love to blog in lists.. I guess we'll find out whats on my mind.
If you say you want to wait 5 years to have a baby and then you get married you will probably change your mind. I can't wait to start my cute little eternal family. That's why I'm here isn't it? YES.
Before I started working at an assisted living facility, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of old people. I missed something though. Yes, they are experienced, tired, and often waiting to die. I just didn't realize that they need family and friends more than ever. I think they deserve to finish their lives happy and feel appreciated for their years of service.
So we've been married for six months. For all of you who have any less marriage experience than I do... I have one word for you. Compromise. Oh and just remember that you're on the same team. That's all the marriage advice I have. You'll be happy :)
Don't loose yourself. It's just so easy to do. Lately I'll suddenly realize parts of me that have disappeared. I have a creative side that keeps me balanced. I have weird little habits, like coming up with alliteration titles (probably doesn't make sense), finding traffic cones, and writing down lines that one day i might write a book around. When I realized I had lost these habits for a few months, I realized that's what was missing. I don't just want to be a wife and eventually a mother, but I want to be Ali. Forever.
Do you like how all my paragraphs are different shapes and sizes? Haha I am soo good at this. Like I said... I have nothing to say.
Except that I can't wait for JaNae Booth to have her big day in less than 2 weeks!!!! Lucky girl, it's just the best thing ever.
