I'm 'IT'

So I got tagged by my buddy Kristen L. and I guess I will respond with the following (I don't have much to do with myself these days....today I read pretty much the entire book Breaking Dawn)  p.s. I copied Kristen L's and it is in the ABC format:

A. Attached or Single:  Um.....check blog name and you have your answer

B. Best Friends:  Zac, Howlly, Krunchy, Lester, Hepter, and Chepetee

C. Cake or Pie:  Cake with minimal frosting.  My sister Steph, Jen and my mom would beg to differ.

D.  Day of Choice: Saturday, mostly because of the cartoons.

E.  Essential Item:  Hair tie.  It sucks when you have long hair and the wind blows and you can't breath right because every breath is tainted with strands of hair entering your esophagus. 

F.  Favorite Color: Blues

G.  Greatest Accomplishment:  Shooting the moon all by my self during a pinochle game between me and Ross VS. Zac and Steph.  It was intense.

H.  Hometown:  'The' Eagle, Idaho

I.  Indulgences:  Number '8' at McDonalds.  Man I don't do it often but every time I bite into that grilled chicken sandwich, followed by a hot french fry and washed down with McD's coke....that is what I am talking about.  (However, my indulgences change about every two months)

J.  January or July:  Are you kidding me?  I even live in Arizona and I will say July because that's how much I love America!

K.  Kids?  None in the oven yet....I do have a puppy which wakes me up in the night to pee....that's gotta count for something.

L.  Life is incomplete without....:  Ninjas

M.  Marriage Date:  November 6, 2004

N.  Number of Siblings:  2 Brothers, 2 Sisters, 5 brother in laws, 3 sister in laws.  They count too!

O.  Oranges or Apples:  Depends on the season.  If it is half time...oranges.  

P.  Phobias or Fears:  I hate hate hate hate spiders.  We had a monster on our doorway last night that was probably two-three inches wide.  Then we saw a little scorpion crawling up the side of our condo....lame.

Q.  Quotes:  "I can't believe I ate the whole thing"-Homer Simpson

R.  Reasons to smile:  Peeing in the lake to get warm

S.  Season:  Still gotta be summer...we'll see once I get to experience my first Arizona winter.

T.  Tag three friends:  Um....Holly, McKinzie, Rachel  (I think that they will read it)

U.  Unknown fact about me:  I'm running in my first triathlon at the end of the month.

V.  Very Favorite Store:  Newt and Harolds or the Record Exchange

W.  Worst Habbit:  Leaving my finished glass of chocolate milk on the floor (as zac would say)

X.  X-Ray or Ultrasound:  Since I have never had an ultrasound and I hear the first one is rough when you are prego gotta say x-ray.

Y. Your Favorite Food:  Before dinner roles....especially from Texas Road house and olive garden.

Z. Zodiac:  Leo.....(maw waaaaahhhooo<------that is a wild cat sound...try reading it outloud.)

Hope you all enjoyed.  I did because it got me off the couch....to my credit, I am sick today with some sort of bug)...Peace out!

It's as official as a referee with a whistle

Introducing the newest member of the Drzayich family--Jaitz.  We broke down (or better put, Zac finally broke down to my pleas) and we got a puppy!  He is a Boston Terrier and is lots of fun.  We are working on using the outside for a toilet right now.  I did just teach him how to sit and lay down--he is a smart little thing.  He is 11 weeks old as of yesterday.  I really love him and am glad I have someone to talk to during the day.  Zac likes him too and is constantly tormenting him (instead of me!!! Hooray!!)  Anyhoo, there are some pictures of him!

There is too an Arizona

Alright Alright!  Here is a new post for all of you goofs out there!  Seriously.  Things are going just peachy here in Arizona.  We moved pretty smoothly down here to the desert only almost getting in two wrecks so thats not bad!  I took some pictures of what everything looks like and so forth.  Zac started his job last week and he is really enjoying it!  The only thing that sucks is that he has to be to work at 5:30 a.m. and his job site is about a half hour away!  YUCK!  I am currently looking for a job and enjoying time to figure out where the heck I am!  So to the pictures.

This is Zac driving.  (If you couldn't figure that one out)  We had just entered into the Arizona border.

All the plants here seem to want to hurt you.  This little fellow is right by the green belt outside of our condo and looks harmless.....until you zoom in.  I about got ripped off my bike because a branch from a tree brushed past my hair and had sharp little pokers that latched into my hair.

This is our condo!  It's easily twice a big as our last apartment so we feel like we're living in luxury.  This is a view from our deck and I can watch people tee off on the fourth tee.  That is the green belt right at the bottom of our stairs which is real nice to be by.

I took this picture for my mom to show her that I totally bedazzled my toes.  I don't EVER wear closed shoes unless I am running so my toes have totally become an accessory (I do have a bit of girl in me see!)

This was the other day when a fire broke out on the west valley and smoke blew all over.  It turned the sun red and I thought it was fantastic looking!  So with that, there are a few pictures and such so people can know what is going on in my world right now!  Word.

Next Step

Hoorah and Hooray! Zac has gradumacated from college. He is now a construction management major at "the" Boise State University. There were 20 graduates and all of them have a job already which is pretty sweet. We are heading to Phoenix (Scottsdale) Arizona where Zac will work for DPR Construction, Inc. We are pretty pumped!


This was our celebration dinner at Idaho Pizza Company. Dang that's good pizza.

Zac's brother Nick married into a fantastic family. They are oh so nice and took us to the lake the other day. The Thompsons have a SAWEET boat and membership to a private lake so on one of the hotter May day's, we went boating! There is nothing better than the smell of boat exaust and the sight of smooth water.

This is me catching some air. There was a dog at the lake that is real old and deaf and he would try to bite the boat. Another boarder sprayed him real good in the face with water and I laughed.

Things are going alright for us. Zac and I have been living with his mom for the past month but we will be heading out in about three weeks to the Valley of the Sun. We got a place to live and our things are all packed. I am excited, nervous, anxious, and interested to be going to a new place. I will miss all of my friends and family for sure but heck, if any of you are in the Phoenix area we have definately got a place for you (everyone but Chelsea....I don't like her very much--Just kiddn' Chep. You could even have my room!) So anyhoo, that is about it for me and my Zac. Just taking the next step.

He Was One of the Best

We have recently had a tragedy hit our family. Zac's dad and one of the best people on this earth passed away on April 11. His name was Emil and I know him as Butch or Butchey and he died of a massive heart attach after coaching a baseball game. There is too much to say about Emil and I am greatful most of my friends here on the blogging world got to know him or heard wonderful things about him. I love him so much and I know I will have the opportunity to be with him again. My mom #2 Peggy and him were the best of friends and did everything together. I love her so much and my heart aches so much for her. Butch was unlike most people in this world. He cared so much more for others than he did for himself. His funeral was just yesterday (Friday April 18) and more than 1,000 people were there for it. The funeral director said it was the biggest funeral he has ever been to. I had the honor of giving the life sketch and I was so greatful for it because I got to learn so much about Butch. I pray I can live my life as selfless as he did. We will miss him so much and we love him so much. I will do my best to remember him, honor him, and keep him alive for the future generations.


This was our last family picture

Check out Butch and Zac blocking for me.


They were the best of friends and they will be together forever. I love you mom D.

There is a light that never goes out

So I decided to put some more stuff up here possibly for my future posterity but mostly for my friends that read this.  I am just hanging out with my B (aka Zac) watching some Scrubs and having a good time.  Zac keeps laughing real hard which makes watching Scrubs twice as fun.  Thanks Hops for letting us borrow all of your DVD's and we will get them back to you soon.  Anyhoo, since the top of my blog says Kristen and Zac I figured I should include my one and only on here.  Zac is quite the character and I love him so very much.  We are pretty much best buddies that hang out and eat and joke and occasionally make out.  Here are some pictures from our latest adventures...

(notice the self portraits)

Summer in San Francisco/Berkeley for an internship with DPR for Zac.  It was windy.

This is the Mesa Arizona temple.  It was November 8th in the picture and 91 degrees. WHAT?

We are caught dancing at Bryan Dewey's (or just plain Dewey) wedding.

p.s. the title of this post is the title of a song on my playlist.  It is a remake done originally by Van Morrisey (remake done by Anberlin).  It reminds me of Zac and just being young and loving life.  Enjoy a good listen if you choose to.

This one is for my home boys

So my bestest friends decided that I should become a blogger and since I cave very easily to peer pressure I agreed to do just that.  I very quickly wanted to take a trip down memory lane and post a few pictures of my favorite friends because they are a huge part of the reason I am who I am today.  We were a bit stupider back then but man those times are some of my greatest memories.  So before I start posting stuff about what is going on with myself today, I figured I should start with some fun from just a few short years ago.  I feel so blessed to have a crew like you who get my humor and accept me for who I am.  I know I will never meet anyone else like you all and glad we will be friends forever. (cheesey?)  I love you boyfrens!
