Ryan & Sarah

Yes, I know I SUCK!

2012-01-25T09:28:00.000-08:00

Shame on me! I convinced myself to get back into blogging and I haven't done a DARN thing! I haven't posted since Maybe Halloween? I don't know know if anyone even reads this thing but yesterday I was being ~~bored~~ productive at work and read through my first few months of posting. I maybe cried a few tears, it's crazy to see how far Ryan and I have come and I love that I able to look back at my feelings and emotions and see the difference in our personalities and attitudes! So I figured I could do a tiny post and a little "getting to know you". Enjoy!

Have you ever had something happen to you that you thought was bad but it turned out to be for the best? Honestly, I would have to say letting my in-laws into my life. I have been screwed over by a few of them and I have continued to allow them in my life to continually get f'd over! I have learned A LOT about myself and A LOT about what I NEED to do to keep my self together, to do the right thing, and when to just walk away.
What was one of the best parties you’ve ever been to? I have had a lot of good parties in my day, everything from Ugly Sweaters, to bbqs, to reunions so I can't say that I do have a favorite! Anytime I am around my family & friends is a favorite time for me!
What was the last movie, TV show or book that made you cry or tear up? This is so cliche' I feel but Sunday I was watching Kourtney and Kim take New York. I have been in a feud with my one and only sister since Halloween and when her and Khloe were able to talk out their feelings it made me cry. I ALWAYS want my sister to feel as though she can come to me with anything and EVERYTHING! I am her only sister and I just want her to be with me through everything! I miss her so much and have tried numerous times to reach out to her. ::Hi Dani, I miss you!::

What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done? Again, I am going to resort back to my in-laws I love so deeply, and hate so strongly. For the last time I have been beaten over the head by them. To the point of where it was making me re-think myself and putting a real damper on my self esteem. I know I am not a "cunt" nor a loser bitch and I know I am right for my husband so who are they to say? FINALLY I had to make the decision to ~~CUT~~ them out of my life and never look back. I can't, if I haven't made them like me in the past 5 years what is going to change? I hate to have to do that to family but for me that's what it takes.

What was the last experience that made you a stronger person? I am going to have to go with the feud I am in with my sister it breaks me down everyday and I think about her everyday! I just want the best for her and I want our old friendship back. Thus, has made me a stronger person by knowing that God has a plan. There is a reason why we are being put through this and all I can do is look at the positive side and faith that one day our relationship will repair itself.
What did you do growing up that got you into trouble? I sluffed school a lot, my sister and I would ALWAYS miss curfew, and there were some days I would just leave for days on end because I was so sick of my parents. Knowing what I know now, I shouldn't have put my parents through the pain of worrying if I am okay because as they are growing older they are starting to worry me. My dad has caused me my first GREY hair!
When was the last time you had an amazing meal? Husband and I went out to Red Rock Brewing Comp on Saturday night and I had shrimp scallop with green beans and mashed potatoes it was AWESOME!
What’s the best/worst gift you’ve ever given/received? This is super cheesy but I met my husband on my 18th birthday therefore, I think of him as the BEST gift I have ever received however, my puppy Chewy is a close 2nd! I can't say I haven't gotten a bad gift most of the people that do know me know me well enough to get the hints I drop around my birthday or Christmas! (;

What do you miss most about being a kid? The stress-free lifestyle, being able to take a nap whenever I needed one, not having to plan out my future to the T. Paying bills, driving a car, pursuing well in a career. I mean I knew someday I would have all of these things but you never really imagine how hard, yet rewarding it is.
What is your first memory of being really excited? When I got my Yorkie Freckles for my 4th Christmas. I will never forget my dad bringing her up the stairs to show my sister and I. One of the most memorable experiences of my life!
What was the first thing you bought with your own money? I was EXTREMELY dependant on Ryan when I first moved out with him I didn't have a car or even a BLOW dryer! I know I know, deprived child here! So I would have to say the very 1st thing I bought on MY own and picked out on my OWN is my Mercedes C230 best purchase EVER! ((:
When was the last time you were nervous? Let's get this straight now, I am a NERVOUS wreck about EVERYTHING. Anxiety, O.C.D call it what you want. I had to take my doggy to the vet on Saturday for her well puppy exam and I always get so nervous they are going to tell me my puppy is dying. Yes, she is my child.

What is something you learned in the last week? I have learned that hard work REALLY does pay off. We are doing a lot of home improvements this year preparing for what I hope to be a Baby Barras next year so seeing everything being done and being able to pay for it with cash feels oh, so good!
What story does your family always tell about you? God, do you even want to know?? When I was 4 yrs old I would call everyone a "dildo" my mom made me look it up in the dictionary and she made sure I understood what it meant and if I wanted to continue to call people that then I could. And maybe I did.. that's a classic story!!
At what age did you become an adult? I would say this past year of my being 22 and having a "BIG GIRL" job and being promoted and actually working really hard on it has helped me become a grown up/adult. Also, have had a lot of trials and tribulations thrown at me. I have just believed in God and kept faith that he will work everything out the way they are supposed to be!

Scchwing!

Ello lovelies.
I am updating my iPhone 4 with the new IOS5 softeware (thanks to my brochacho Dean). So I figured while I sit here and babysit my baby (iPhone) I mains well do something productive and bloggity blog. I am not sure if anyone even reads this thing but hey, I do it for fun! Some of you may already know that I work at a car dealership. Yes, full of gross super pushy men just tryin' to get a dolla out of you. It's really not like that, it's more like I have 7 dads, 4 brothers, 1 mom, and 1 lil' sis. We are a BIG family and we even fight like one. ::waves to boss:: I started out as a receptionist about a year ago and worked my ~~little~~ butt off to try and get a higher position. Working in a "mans world" can get really tough sometimes, they forget that you have feelings, that you p.m.s, that you don't like to be cat called every hour of the day it's really a rough life! Wow, I feel like this is scattered everywhere! I was in my receptionist position for about 9 months of the 13 I have been there. Yes, it was like a very loooong 9 month pregnancy. As the receptionist you are the dealership "bitch" (if you will) you do everything and don't really get credit for most of it. I proudly like to say that now I am 2nd in command for the title. Mama's proud that I worked my way up in such a short amount of time, I am now ::drum roll:: Financial Assistant. I feel like this is all kind of running together so, in short this is what I do

Break down all of the deals. Once you sign your paperwork the deal is brought to me and I make sure all of the needed paperwork is sent to the financial institution.
If we (Not saying "I" because I don't make mistakes [;) miss any paperwork such as drivers license, proof of income, proof of home address then I will call the customer and get it handled.
I then cap out the deal and make sure the salesmen and finance manager is paid on the deal.

I also, still do a lot of my receptionist duties that are but not limited too:

Making sure the vehicle is reported sold to the manufacturer
Doing all of the customer incentives like military, valued owner etc.
Backing up receptionist on phones when needed.

All in all I have it pretty good. I call my own hours, my boss is THE DREAM BOSS, I have an extremely flexible schedule AND one of my best friends got my old job as the receptionist. Doesn't get much better then that eh? Oh, & I get a good deal on cars, car parts, paint jobs, window tints etc. My Benzie is pretty much souped up because of that place. Like I work there to just pay money to have my car all trickitty tricked out! Hopefully that gives you a ~~quick~~ brief summary on my what I call "big girl" job. It's very very stressful at times but I can't complain! ((:

My Lexie Lou & I.

Yes, my work bff, mini me, little, sister call her whatever, I am sure she has been called worse!

good in the hood

2011-10-12T17:02:00.000-07:00

I know I know it's been a WEEK! Right after I blogged about being a better blog I fall off the wagon, I have good news though. Chewy is back to normal! Reason being sister in law is OUT! I am just so glad our little family is all back to normal and functioning how we have been for the past 3+ years! I will save the drama for my mama about sister in laws depature. No really, it will be best for all of us. My mother always taught me "If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all." I really need to start abiding by this. So I promise as soon as I am not exhasuted from working all day I will catch you up on my job. Since, duh that is all I know nowadays!

Ya know... this dude

I don't think I have mentioned that he is my idol, hero, & soul mate! I mean c'mon what dog loving lady doesn't want a man that enjoys them just as much as her! Eh? Seriously though here lets get real! My husbands little sister has moved in with us, it has been quite the adjustment for all of us but the one that it is impacting the most is our bordier collie. I am not sure what is going on with her; if its the change in our "pack", the fact that lil' sis took Chewys bedroom, or even the fact that maybe Chewy is feeling just a little left out. I wish I knew.. I wish I could snap my fingers and make her be better. I have been pretty upset about it all day Chewy is a very very obedient pup always has been, shes been easy to train, helped train our Gus and is my protector when R isn't home so what has she been doing as of late?

Clingy- just so clingy! She won't let you leave her sight, me especially!
In your face, constantly in your face. If her head isn't on your lap then she is jumping on you putting her face in yours.
Being a little more aggressive then normal. Nothing major just more fiesty!

I know those may not seem like major things to you all but with how great of a dog Chewy is it is quite out of character! Given, sister hasn't been around dogs growing up so I am trying my hardest to be patient and do what is best for all of us but sometimes it gets very frustrating. For the past 3 years Chewy has been 3rd in the pack now she feels it is unstable. I hate it. I hate that she is out of place, in her own home. Not sure if the rest of R's family sees it the way that I do but I know some of my dog loving bloggy friends will understand me. Give me advice! Feed me all of your knowledge, what can I do? Training? New boundaries set? Re-creating the feel of a pack? I am just not sure. This weeekend I do plan on going and picking up this. Maybe.. it will help.. maybe it won't.

I know I am supposed to be updating with all the fun "exciting" stuff that has been going on, but at this moment Chewy is my #1 priority! Help help help!

"The number one cause of death in dogs today is euthanasia. Why so many dogs gone bad? A dog's temperament is a direct result of the owners ability to understand them and give them what they instinctually need as a canine animal. There are no bad dogs... just uneducated owners."

Oh no she didn't!

2011-10-04T19:36:00.000-07:00

*gasp!*

I apologize for my leave of absence it has been a ~~little~~ while! I've lost count of how many times I have deleted and re-typed this post. As I was going back and reading my posts from last year I noticed I talked a lot about things I thought you people would be interested in and not enough about what I love and what truly brings me joy in life. So I am starting over, I will discuss everything from, my crazy (and only getting crazier) career, the cute furbabies, my handsome husband, family, and things I like to ramble about. I'm hoping to stick to this for the next year or so! A lot has happened since Feburary 1st, I turned 22, was promoted at work, celebrated my 3rd anniversary, & learned a few life lessons! My cute friend Erin Burk mentioned that I need to get to updating my blog so I am doing just that! Go and check out Erin's blog she just had a sweet baby boy and her family couldn't get much cuter. So..

I am not going to cram it all into 1 post I figured if a few posts get created through this week and into the weekend it may give you bloggy friends something to do at work, while home with your babes, or just those whom would like to follow me. (I am not sure if I am that interesting) Hopefully, I can re-vamp this and you internet friends can get to know the real ME a little better. Until next time I leave you with a Halloween lit pooch!

I usually get what I want..

2011-02-01T19:36:00.001-08:00

BUT I'm not so sure I can convince husband to buy this for me for my birthday along with all my other 2973409873892 birthday wishes! Your dying to know what it is right? Well... it's freaking sweet COOLEST thing I have ever seen in my life. Okay maybe I am taking it a little too far but seriousfreakingly I MUST have this... I MUST get this!!

I mean seriously since I DO have the cutest puggy in this whole wide world how cute would him & I look strolling around town with this thing? I mean I can probably get this in pink but I'm not sure how much Gussie would really enjoy it! I know he would like the ride just not the pink... So R if you are reading this me and your Gussie son would absolutely LOVE this thing! I mean picture us now... So precious right??? Don't mind the fact that it's $400 :/ we would get good use out of it though!! Happy Hump Day tomorrow!!

Credit Card Debt & Baby Talk!

2011-01-31T19:26:00.001-08:00

Okay okay... I have cracked I am so friggen' baby hungry!! Seriously if I open my mouth about baby stuff one more time hubs may just go bonkers! Let me just give you a little background on how this has all hit me SO hard... Of course my niece and nephew do not help any they are the cutest little things with the biggest hearts that are always open for love it's so touching and I swear my niece and I are going to be best friends when she gets older I just love and cherish that little gal more then anyone knows I think she is the one that has helped bring out my motherly instinct which is such a good thing because I was beginning to wonder if I had one... I mean come on look at this face....

So so precious I love her more then she will ever ever know! GEEZEERS!! I can't freaking believe that I have NOT mentioned our best friends had their baby on January 27th weighing in at 8 pds and 9 oz he is so freaking precious and is a spitting image of his dad! Take a loooky:

Your drooling right? I am! Okay okay.... off of my bragging box now it all started out in Tarjayy... yes that damn store! If it doesn't get my bank account it gets my freaking emotions going I mean really ladies do any of us go to Target and not look through the baby section I DON'T!! So hubs and I were in there a couple nights ago doing some exchanges and bummin' and of course I had to stop in the baby clothes aisle to look at outfits for both of the babies in my life! As we came across the diaper section husband wanted to just look to see what the cost monthly would be.. then we moved to formula.. then we moved to the BIG stuff like cribs, strollers, bassinets... all that good stuff! Now before I go any further I must stop and say that husband has NEVER been the type to bring up baby talk he is not a fan of the thought of having babies nor as he ever approached me with some sort of plan or anything, given we talked about having kids before we got married and we both decided on at least 4 or 5 years from now... BUT since we have had such adoring babies in our lives lately it's hard not to think about it so... he hugged me around the waist and told me "I want you to know I wouldn't mind having babies with you right now" OMG my heart fluttered and I almost dropped to my knees, that was a true weak in the knees from your prince charming moment!! So we got home and talked about it a little more and of course a rain cloud came over me as husband told me that he just doesn't feel financially save with TTC yet! Okay woah woah woah hold up here... you just told me one thing but you really mean another? Way to piss me off Barras! Of course there was a little but of an argument and maybe even a night of going to bed without saying good night to each other... bad I know!!

The next day at work I seemed to be in such a funk and I think R caught onto that too! Luckily my best friend was there to talk me through things and my sister in law gave me a lot of advice! Of course I just don't want to have babies because all of my friends and family are I want to have kids because husband and I are truly ready for them and truly ready to devote the next 20 plus years to them and give them everything that we were so grateful to have! Moving right along with the story sister in law and I were going through this on Friday..

Husband doesn't believe in it but after telling him that we looked at EVERYONE we knows... he started to look and chart ours... now I wasn't getting my hopes up too high but I did get into it a little so here is our plan and please please please give me your thoughts and opinions and things that you wish you would have done or things you would have done differently!

Summer 2011- We are going to get a new roof, sprinkler and sod our backyard, get a new cement patio, patio set, fire pit, all the works.

Fall 2011- We want to do a tiny bit of remodeling to our kitchen, get carpet in our 3 bedrooms, stain and polish our wood floors, Go on a cruise, and save for Christmas and have our first appointment with my OB and discuss our options and get a good solid plan on the baby makin! (;

Spring 2012- I will get off my birth control as advised by my doc and I will start tracking my cycles.. I feel like this is going to be hard for me since I have always been so athletic and haven't ever really had a method of tracking because they are sooo sporadic! We also plan on having husbands truck paid off by mid Summer!

We are going to try and shoot for the Sept, Oct, Nov months of my 23rd year so we may hopefully get a BOY!! I think if we have the truck paid off or at least close we could maybe shoot for the month of July! Maybe that's just wishful thinking!! Please share your thoughts on this with me! If you can't tell I am pretty antsy and excited!!

Oh, & I must share that as of today we are 95% out of our credit card debt!! When we got married we were in about $11,000 in debt... now today we are in $3,000 in just 2 short years we have knocked the debt out of our lives and it's such a refresher! I love the feeling!

I just want to take a moment to thank my wonderful loving and LOGICAL husband for wanting to give me and our future children the whole world and every little detail that comes with it! I know I will never have to go without! I love him so much!!

If your still reading this thanks for sticking around haha and share your comments!! (:

Happy Monday!

R's birthday & wife of the year

2011-01-26T11:46:00.001-08:00

Hi again!
Yep I am back with ANOTHER blog post for today! Go Me! This blogpress is really easy to work which benefits you all because you get to read my blog all day! (; So on to Ry's birthday/month! My family has always made such a big deal out of birthday and I love it! Husband isn't as use to it as I am but we literally have like birthday months we try to drag it out was much as possible.. I mean you only live once right? You only turn 23 once right? Yep! So I planned on doing steak sammies with my family and husbands 2 sisters at our house the Sunday before his birthday he has always had steak sandwiches on his birthday and even though they aren't my favorite I cook them... well more like try to cook them I do get all of the bomb presents and birthday cakes though! This year I got him some new cologne, a binocular harness/carrying case for his new binos I bought him for Christmas and also I signed him up for his concealed weapons class that he has been wanting to take forever, and with all of these new shootings going on I didn't think it would be such a bad idea either! So I gave him his cologne on the Sunday we had family over I was awfully bad at taking pictures that night but I was able to get a picture of his yummy "blue & orange" cake. For those of you in the Salt Lake area I HIGHLY recommend Schmidts Bakery for all of your baking needs! I have ALWAYS had their birthday cakes I don't think I can remember a birthday that I haven't enjoined one.. a whole one!

Here is a picture of husbands 2 favorite presents!

We went to Olive Garden on Monday the 3rd which is his actual birthday it was so yummy I love that place! At dinner I gave him a sweet card with his concealed class ticket in it!! He was so shocked that I remembered he wanted to take it!

That next Saturday we got all of our closest friends and family and we went out for dinner to a restaurant called Desert Edge Brewery or as my family calls it The Pub.. my parents have been going there for years so they are basically VIP. My mom and dad rented out the top part of the restaurant for us all to sit so we weren't bothering the other eaters and had a whole spot to ourselves!

Before we went to the restaurant we went and picked up ANOTHER birthday cake for R this one was the bomb.com and it helped me get rewarded for Wife of the Year.. I mean we were only a week into the New Year and I already got that award... Am I amazing or what? Check out the cake!!

Boise State? Who would have ever guessed? It's pretty awesome isn't it? R loved loved loved it and it didn't taste too bad either! (:

I hope he had an amazing birthday he deserves the world and is so good to me, his sisters, and my family. I love him so much and cannot shower him with gifts enough to show him my love and appreciation!

A not so secret obsession!

2011-01-26T10:14:00.001-08:00

Sorry I have been SO MIA lately! I do have good excuses though I promise.. I have been working my freaking bootie off at work it's crazy I don't think I have ever worked so hard in my life!! We are moving into a brand new building so I have been busy helping with that and trying to have the move go as smooth as possible along with training like 3 new receptionist all this week! I am being rewarded with a NICE bonus that is coming just in time for summer though! I have my pretty little blue eyes set on this...

It's beyond gorg (gorgeous) right? Yes, I know I have AMAZING taste. If I do indeed decide to break down and buy this it will take my WHOLE bonus which I am totally completely fine with and back in my teen lifeguarding days I would not even be posting a decision making post about it because I'd already be carrying it around my dainty little arm.... BUT now that I am older, and maybe a little but more wiser it's getting harder for me to be okay with dropping $400 on a bag! I know when I told my dad this he asked me if I was sick? I think he though his daughter and gotten kidnapped and replaced with a more modest gal.. I mean come on $400 can buy me ALOT of cute summer clothes, shoes, and jewelry! So I guess after this weekend we will see if I ran to my local Nordstrom to pick it up! I am leaning more towards NO since my birthday is 2 months away and I may just get lucky enough that hubs will remember and buy it for me... if your reading this R I BETTER get this for my birthday!! Hence my blog title of the blog I have an OBSESSION for designer purses it's sick and wrong!

Along with the following:

This bike! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I even want to get a little front basket put on for my puggy so we may ride around everywhere together! I already plan on taking my heeler with me when I go on Summer bike rides! Luckily my parents house is pretty close so we can take a ride there and back in the mornings! This makes me that much more anxious for Summer!

Yep, you guessed it I am a Utah Jazz fan.. or more like Deron Williams fan... (hey, boy hey!) So I want to get one of the real jerseys to wear to the games and on game days! I think I could sport it pretty well if I must say so myself! (;

Last but certainly not least I want this...

The Droid Incredible! I am eligible for an upgrade in March so I'm planning on forking out the extra $200 for the droid. Since I am with Verizon I considered getting the iphone but I just cant pass up all of the good reviews on the droid and how fast it is compared to the other smart phones on the market!!

I feel kinda bad as I sit here and post this because I was suppose to post all about husbands birthday that was a month ago before I started posting about mine... but I PROMISE that is the next post... I purchased the blogger app for my ipad so I plan on blogging a lot more as soon as work slows down! I hope you all are having a fabulous week today is my Thursday I plan on having a complete ME day on Friday.. nails, pedicure, tan, shopping ahhh I can't wait!! Well ta ta for now!

In regards to my cockiness please note that 85% of it is sarcasm! (: I'm not really that into myself!!

Christmas 2010

2011-01-12T20:14:00.000-08:00

This Christmas I seemed to be in the spirit a little bit more! I am usually the Grinch! We were so fortunate enough to be able to spend it with most of R's immediate family. His oldest sister, her husband, & my neice & nephew, my father in law, and R's youngest sister & her boyfriend, we were only missing 2 so all in all I'd say that was a success!

We had a yummy dinner of filet minogn (spelling?), jumbo breaded shrimp, garlic potatoes, carrots, veggie tray, malibu & coke errr..., cheesecake, & bread! We went ALL freaking out it was so yummy yummy in my tummy too!!

N & I

I think this is our 3rd year doing jam jams on Christmas Eve! It's a tradition I cant' wait to share with my future babies! Here is my play kiddies for now!

We had a really chill & relaxed New Years, and I was in bed by 12:15 Grandma ish... Kinda? I'm going to try and post husbands birthday parties.. (yes plural) tomorrow! I had an awesome Boise State cake ::shocking:: made for him so maybe I will want to show you it so bad it will make me post!! Have a good Thursday! (:

Viva Las Vegas Baby!!

2011-01-12T20:05:00.000-08:00

As I stated in a couple posts back R's birthday is just 8 days after Christmas so it is SUPER hard for me to come up with presents/ideas for him! I figured since Bootah & Boise were playing in the Maaco Bowl Game just a few hours away that I would buy him tickets and we could spend a couple days in Vegas for Christmas and a little bit of his birthday present! Well needless to say it was probably one of the most memorable Christmas' for both of us! We had SO much fun, it was cold but we weren't going to let anything rain on our parade. ::no pun intended:: We weren't supposed to leave until Wednesday morning but since it had been such bad weather and the "whole southern" part of Utah was flooding we figured we would rather be safe then sorry and try and at least make half the drive to St. George so we left Tuesday night as I got off of work! I am so glad we did we were both feeling up to the last 2 hour drive to Vegas so we made it in around midnight our time but 11 o clock theirs so we still had plenty of time to walk the strip. OMG such a bad lousy idea to go walk the strip in our Boise apparel though EVERY SINGLE Utah fan had something to say about Boise State.... because they knew they were going to get their asses handed to them so all they could manage to do was talk crap! It was pretty typical but I had no idea that it would be as bad as it was. Like grow up a little bit Utah fans and lay off the sauce! ;)
After we walked the strip till 3 in the morning and my Coach shoes were ruined :( ::boo!:: we headed back to the hotel room for some shut eye! (yes, I made it past 10:00 people! Goooo ME!!) Anyways, R was up at the crack of dawn like usual so I figured I'd get up so we could have breakfast and hit up Ceasars Palace!

We walked the strip for quite awhile but we didn't do any serious shopping we did get my neice some CUTE M&M socks and my nephew a bag of Boise colored M&M's! We headed back to our hotel and got all ready and bundled for the game!

Our Boise car flags!

The rain stopped just in time for the game it was so perfect and the look in my husbands eye was priceless! It was nice to see that all of my stress and planning for the trip paid off!!

We were ALL decked out in our Boise gear of course!

This is a panaroma view I took on my sweet new camera from husbear!

Throwin up #1

Most of the Ute fans were leaving 3rd Quarter! Way to stand behind your team Utes!

After the game we were planning on cutting out early to try and beat traffic WELL after much convincing I pulled hubbs with me so we could storm the field! We mains well make the best of it since we went and spent $$$ on the tickets!

The team & cheerleaders storming the field!!

Billy with the Bowl Game trophy!

R with the cheerleadas!

I think after this picture R was SO happy that I drug him onto the field! This is #17 Winston Venable... just so happens that he is husbands favorite player!! ::Best Wife 2010 award::

I had such a fun time on this trip, even though it was short I am so glad we were able to make it down, I know hubbs had a great time and that's all that really mattered to me! I love having him all to myself! (: We left late afternoon the next day to meet up with my cousin and her husband in St. George for lunch, we had to make it back for Christmas Eve or I could have stayed another night in St. Geezyy it's beautiful!

Just....

Yeah you guessed it.......

Bahaha I'm totally freaking kidding you but I'm sure a lot of you believed and fell into the whole::omg is this selfish brat really serious 2 kids at once:: category, thanks bitches! Anyways... I just need you mommies opinion on 1 thing that has been eating away at me since I turned 21 and now that hubs and I are 2 paychecks away from being out of debt I have seriously been considering it a lot more so I need major mommy advice! I am thinking about getting my boobs done!! After getting a few opinions from my family and some close friends I have put it off for almost a year mow since I was planning on getting them for my 21st birthday BUT at some point in my life maybe when I become a little less selfish about my self I want to have lil chitlens so.... Should I wait to have them done till after we are done having kids or should I just go ahead with it? I feel like I should just go ahead with it since we are still at least 4 years out from having babies and can plan on getting them redone after were done and around my 30th birthday! Give me your honest opinions and for those of you mamas that have them let me know if you still love em or regret em!! I will be back tonight with all sorts of fun updates!!(:

Well I only have 2 days of work this week and then we are off to Viva Las Vegas for the Maaco Bowl!! Utah Utes vs. Boise State! You know how hubs is with his Broncos!!

Throw me a freakin' bone here!

2010-11-29T21:21:00.000-08:00

Seriously to those of you who have made time during these crazy Holiday months I give you mad props! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, I know I sure did! I felt super grateful for everything that I had on Thanksgiving Day! My husband, parents, sister, & puppies, we were missing my SIL, BIL, & neice and nephew though! I wish they could have joined dinner with us but I am looking forward to Christmas Eve even more now! I don't really have anything new to update you with we are just enjoying life and this crazy snow that we get every year! In our city the weatherman estimated that we received about 18 inches of snow luckily for me hubbs not only did hubbs scrape off his truck he even let me drive it so I got to work with no hassle! We put our Christmas tree up on Friday after an AMAZING SUCESSFUL day of Black Friday shopping! It put me even more in the mood for the holidays not only is Christmas coming but hubbs birthday is just 8 days after and then we have our VACATION to Colorado planned! We fly out on a Friday and don't come home till Monday we plan to snowboard and hopefully hit up the cute little town of Boulder (there is a juicy couture store there!! shh.. don't tell hubbs!) Anyway I will leave you with some pictures then hopefully get back into the routine of things here on my poor lonely blog!!

P.S Our Christmas cards should come in the mail tomorrow!! Whoo Hoo! Once I get them out to family & friends I will post one on here along with my CUTE return labels! Just wait till you see them!!

Us in our Ugly Sweaters for the partay!

My Sister in law & I!

We bought our nephew a skateboard & his lil sis had to test it out before anyone else could! How cute are her and R?

Getting ready to grub on Thanksgiving!

Gus waking out of his Turkey Coma from Grandpa!

Chewy girl!

At my 2nd dads (best friends dad) 50th surprise birthday they had a photo booth!! It was SO fun here is just 1 of the many cute/funny pics we took! I am going to have a strictly photo booth party! (:

Our cute lil' Christmas Tree!!

& just because my husband is the BIGGEST Boise State fan ever I had to put up our Boise stocking! Win or Lose we are still HUGE fans at heart and will stick behind our team! I am thinking about surprising hubbs with tickets to their Bowl game for his birthday! Since we don't have chitlens yet I figured why not? Hopefully that plan of mine works out! I'd love to put the tickets in that little Boise stocking to give to him on his bday!! That is what we have been too lately I am going to try very hard to be back on here at least one more time this week!! (: Happy Monday!!

Oh how dare I forget to mention that the Nike outlet by my house opened!! NO BUENO gimmie gimmie!! (:

ShutterfLy

2010-11-21T18:50:00.000-08:00

I'm sure almost all of you have heard about the KILLER freaking deal on Shutterly's website and of course I couldn't pass it up either! Last year we didn't do Christmas cards being newlyweds and just moving into our house it didn't even cross my mind but this year I figured we better do it so our faces can hang on our close family and friends fridges for a few weeks plus I am getting more and more into the Christmas spirit as the years go on! I'm still so shocked that 2010 is almost over it's so crazy to me! I have never ordered anything from Shutterfly before but I know a lot of people that highly reccomend it so I figured since it's free I mains well give it a whirl! I'd really like to make on of those photo books of our wedding and honeymoon for hubbs it would probably sit and collect dust but but it would be oober super cute! I am extremely picky when it comes to stuff like this like more picky then I probably should be but hey it's only a reflection back on you right? So here are a few of the cards that I like!

I love the BRIGHT colors of this one! It doesn't scream traditional Christmas card which I totally love!

This one is way cute too again, I think I like the bright different colors of this!

These return labels are WAY cute too! Simple, Classy, and cute!

So go check out Shutterfly's deal and share your favorite Christmas cards with me! (:

Alive.

2010-11-16T19:43:00.000-08:00

Hi gals!
I promise you all I am still alive and going well! With the Holidays coming up and freaking flu season I have been swamped so please excuse my leave of absence hopefully I will have a free night tomorrow so I can catch up on all of the fun EXCITING things happening here in my household! Till then stay tuned, hope you are all doing great!

5 Inches

2010-10-30T22:24:00.000-07:00

I am considering cutting my poor hair off 5 inches! Here is picture so PLEASE let me know what you think, I doubt I really do it but at the same time I REALLY want too. BUT I don't want to look like I have no hair! Because that would be no bueno! :/

I love love love it in this picture! Or is my vision blurred by this beautiful bag?! Hmm.. either or let me know your opinion! In other Barras news I'm not sure if any of you others heard of the AMAZING deal SouthWest Airlines had going on for Halloween?? Hubbs and I couldn't pass up the deal so we purchased plane tickets for Denver, CO for the end of Jan as a Birthday/Snowboard/Valentines trip! It should be fun can't wait to whip this puppy out...

Hubbs bought me ALL of the "sick" snowboarding gear a few Christmas' ago and I swear to this day I have shred the mountain like twice! Pathetic I know so now that we are starting to see signs of snow in good ol' SLC I can't wait to get it out again! So excited!! Sorry I have been such a bad blogger! Can't wait to get filled in on what's going on in your life! Oh, & to all my bloggy friends who are just newly PG Congratulations but F you for making me even more baby hungry then I already am! I still love ya! (:

Happy Halloween!

2010-10-30T22:19:00.000-07:00

I have been such a weenie when it comes to blogging & I apologize! I think that whole 30 day blog challenge put me in a MAJOR rut! I promise as soon as this crazy week is over with I will get back to some regular posts, we haven't had too much going on just the usual Halloween stuff! Last night we were FINALLY able to carve some punkins with my baby niece and sweet nephew! Here are a few photos for your enjoyment!

Yup, cutest lil' chitlens in the world!

My kitty cat punkin!

All of our punkins!

Me & my kid knife!

Hunting Widow!

2010-10-17T10:33:00.000-07:00

These past 2 weekends I have been a widow to hunting so luckily for me my girls stepped in and we have gone out on the town! I haven't drank so much or stayed up so late since probably high school that kinda sounds bad but it's true! I have had such a fun couple of weekends with some time to myself and girlfriends but I am ready for hunting season to be over with!

Trip Part 3

2010-10-17T10:29:00.000-07:00

Mama & Sissy did such a great job during the MARATHON I hate to say this but I don't remember the time they did but it was awesome! My mom is in her 50s and she is still running strong but I think anyone who can conquer a full marathon at her age deserves some major kudos! It was so hot in St. George that day and even though Hubbs, Dad, and I weren't running we were surely getting the heat of it all! Poor puppies were even hot and there were NO gas stations around to pick up a cold drink for 7 miles!! Who does that? Here in SLC there is a 7-11 on almost every corner!

Us waiting for them to come!

Here they are! (:

Poor Gus was trying anything & everything to stay cooL!

After they finished we headed out for lunch and the 45 minutes drive to Mesquite! The nights in the past that we have stayed in Mesquite are always my favorite! We eat, swim, and go out for a steak dinner as a family with no stress from the marathon!

Us before din din!

Siss & I!

The next morning we were up early and headed home! After 4 days away from home I was ready to come back we got hom around 1:00 which was perfect I had time to do laundry and catch up on some sleep and start feeling a lil better before a busy work week!

Blessed

2010-10-11T21:14:00.000-07:00

I know we don't have our own little "family" just yet but trust me this will do for me for a little while longer. Let me just tell you how blessed I feel for everything that I have accomplished in my life this far, I have a more then amazing husband too precious fur babies and an incredible family that I cannot thank enough for the encouragement each and everyday! Here is another picture from our fall session that we had! I am not going to post anymore because we are using them for our X-Mas cards but I mean is this not freaking cute or what? Only I would include my doggies in on the family picture right? See how crazy I am now!!

Trip Part 2

2010-10-11T21:09:00.000-07:00

OH MY G!! Our night in St. George was THE freaking best! We only met up with my parents, and sissy for awhile because we had date night with my 2nd cousin Susan and her husband Buddy! They own their own business called Mild to Wild doing Rhino tours through the Red Cliffs, Sand Hollow, and all through St. George I can't even tell you how much fun we had on this ride! Gussie boy was even able to come with us, we started off the ride by stopping and fueling up with gas and picking up sandwhiches for a picnic once we got to the top. As a kid I didn't do much of the off roading stuff like this so it was so exciting for me to get out and get a little dirty! I am mostly going to show pictures because it will be too hard trying to explain everything that we did on the ride! Hope you like them! Go check out their website and if you are ever in the area you HAVE to do this. I highly reccomend it, family or not! Mild To Wild

Yup, Gussie LOVED it! (:

He really thought he was sumfin'

I have a pretty mean aim. I kicked the boyys butts! (: Surprised?

It was gorgeous weather

Anazasi Drawings

My Gussie Son & I have the time of our lives!!

We reached the top just in time for sunset

We enjoyed our picnic up here!

Followed by coLd beers!

I love him to the end of the world and back!

You see see EVERYTHING!!

We stayed the night in Apply Valley where my cousin lives and we had to get up early in time to see my mom and sister come across the finish line! Needless to say we were about 2 hours early and boy it was hott!!

Trip Part 1

2010-10-11T20:56:00.000-07:00

I get a BIG FAT F for my blog! I have been such a faiLure with it lately and I am so sorry! I am trying to prepare for the holidays, work, and hubbs has been gone hunting so it's been crazy here at the Barras Household! I am going to slowly try to catch back up. As I promised I will start off with our Vegas/ St. Geezy trip! It was a blast, I got really sick on the way down to Vegas I puked a total of 4 times while driving there, I had reaL bad diahrrea so to say the least the drive was NOT fun! Once we got there I felt a little better we checked into our hotel, I laid down for a bit then took a hot shower. Hubbs talked me into going down to dinner since after all it was Vegas!

This is the only 1/2 decent picture I have of myself that night, my whole body was so incredibly sore and all I wanted to do was sleep BUT I wasn't going down without a trip to the Juicy Couture store DUH!

Hubbs was even sweet enough to buy me a new Juicy Couture purse, I mean come on guys they are my very favorite! I am going on my 4th one after all!

I felt like a horrible wife for ruining hubbs trip but he was such a sweetie and took care of me, put me to bed, made sure I had everything I needed/wanted, and cuddled with me till I woke up the next day! Well with my luck I woke up the next day feeling 75% better! It just so happened our only night in Vegas and I get struck with nasty food sickness! The next morning we were up and at em' we packed our stuff, headed for breakfast and to walk the strip as much as we could till we needed to leave to meet up with my fam!

We went to get hubbs a big margarita

We visited the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop (as seen on History channel)

I am so glad we at least were able to do that because Hubbs had really been looking forward to it! Can you see the line that there was to get into that place? I must say that I was kinda disappointed with it, I mean there was some REALLY cool stuff in there but there was just a bunch of ppl it was kind of like a museum and Old Man, Rick, Big Huss, & Chumlee weren't even there!

& Of course I had to go to the Sugar Factory!

We stopped in at the Beatles club called Love

After all of our crash running around we finally had to check out of our hotel and head to St. George to meet up with my parents, sister, Gussie and Charlie! I had so much fun in the short time that hubbs and I were there being there with him made up for me being sick I really had a fabulous time, I don't think it would have been the same if I had gone with out him. <3

SLACKER!

2010-10-06T19:35:00.000-07:00

I hate to admit it but I am a slacker! I swear you need a vacation day right after coming back from vacation! It was amazing and I had a freaking blast but I am glad to be home and trying to muster up the energy to blog! I will be back this weekend to finish my 30 day blog and an update on my vacation with pictures! I have been so sick & lazy lately! So I will leave you with 1 cute adorable pic to get you by with! (:

Va-Cay!

2010-09-29T20:50:00.000-07:00

I changed my mind. Since I want my Day 24 post to be somewhat hearftelt and not full of bullshit and sarcasm I am going to hold off until I have more time! (: So I am going to get back to packing and preparing for our Vegas, St. George (Go Mum & Sissy!) & Mesquite trip!! I can't wait to get the heck out of here! I will return Sunday with pictures, hopefully some more of our family ones and Vegas ones! (: Have a great week/weekend I will think of you while I am lounging poolside with my martini bitches!

Day 23

2010-09-29T20:48:00.000-07:00

Something you crave for a lot

I love love love to eat, and lucky for me I have a metabolism like a 6 year old here are a few of my favorites and of course most craved things!!

Ranch Sunflower Seeds

Pepsi

Peeps!

Uncrustables!

It's true I eat like a 6 year old too! My dad hates it and always yells at me and I really should he better but when you don't get fat why not eat what you want and like right?!!

Day 22

2010-09-29T20:43:00.000-07:00

What makes you different from everyone else

I like to think I am WAY different then a Lot of people especially living in UT (no-offense fellow utaharns)

1. I love love love anything that smells like dog paws.

2. I lotion my whole body everytime I get out of the shower I hate the tight skin feeling

3. I am a planner I plan everything, outfits, dinners, t.v shows, even sometimes my husbands days.

4. I eat icecream like it's going to be taken away from me.

Ya'll know I hate to brag about myself ::insert sarcasm:: so I am going to end there! Plus I have to pack for my trip!

Day 21

2010-09-29T20:40:00.000-07:00

Oopps I slipped again last night! I'm sorry my niece and nephew were over for dinner and I was just too exhausted to blog! Plus I had to do laundry and pack a little bit for our vacation that is TOMORROW! (: So I am going to do my 30 day challenge up until Friday then when I return home I will do the rest including Sunday! So...

A picture of something that makes you happy

Ahh... this one is real easy for me. I have 2 pictures I'd like to share! Hope thats ok!

My puppies

My niece & nephew

Of course these are only 2 examples as to what make me happy but they make up a pretty big portion!

Day 20

2010-09-27T19:33:00.000-07:00

Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future

Given that I have been happily married for 2 wonderful years now I don't think this one is too much to think about. So I am going to make this post filled with wedding pictures that I don't think you have seen before! (:

The Church

(my grandparents, and parents were both married in)

Day 19

2010-09-26T20:12:00.000-07:00

Nicknames you have; why do you have them:

I have been called all the names in the book but here are a few that are dear to my heart!

1- Jughead/ ::blushing:: I can't believe I am really writing about this one. I had such a big head as a baby that my dad named me Jughead sometimes I still catch my parents calling it to me! Thank God it didn't scare hubbs away!

2- Peetree/ Hubbs calls me Peetree from Land Before Time because I am so small. I like it. (:

3- Sissy/ My Parents, Sissy, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins all call me this. I guess it could be much worse!!

4- Sassy/ I got this name from my Godmother. I think it's self explanatory!

So there ya have it but go ahead and call me as you will!

2010-09-26T20:05:00.000-07:00

Day 18

2010-09-24T21:12:00.000-07:00

Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why:

I'm starting to wonder if my blog is starting to become more about other people then myself. Or am I getting less selfish?? Nah... I am just in love with my husband so of course I'd want to switch lives with him for one day. We could see each other from a whole new light, we could feel how the other one feels, walk their steps at work everyday, learn to communicate the way you'd like too, and maybe get a better feeling about what each other goes through on a day to day basis.

Dear Ryan,
I love you to pieces and you know this, but if you could walk a day in my life I think I'd work your butt to the floor. Just like how I beat you in almost everything that we compete in, like the basketball game at the arcade tonight. Do you remember how I schooled you in hoopes. Yup, that's me your sweet wife. I know you like to play things off like you let me beat you but deep down you envy my mad skills and wish you could be like me. Again, I love you and your handsome.

Love,
Me your over acheiving, always competeing beautiful Wife

P.S We only have 2 work days next week until our vacation!!

<3

Day 16

2010-09-24T21:06:00.000-07:00

This was supposed to be yesterday! I am 1/2 way through this thing and only missed once!! Sorry!! Shame shame! Here is a picture of me and of course my handsome little man! ENJOY!

Family Vacation!!

2010-09-22T18:53:00.000-07:00

So, I'm sure as you all have read and watched me count down the days/hours/minutes/seconds until we leave on our family vacation you all know that I am freakin' excited to get the hell out of this city for awhile! Well, sadly plans have changed! ): Just a little bit though there isn't a 1/2 sad face to do so I just did the full one! Sissy has decided that it will be a little too much on her right before the marathon to go to Vegas and deal with walking the strip, the smoke in her lungs from the casino, and an extra day to have to worry about SO plan B. My partner in crime and I will still be happily going.. Who is this you ask??....

Duh, guys who else!? My husband like I have said before he is always here to be my right hand man and I'm not sure if Sin City is ready for us to tear it up but it better be because we are coming! St. George and Mesquite are still on as well! I will have a 4 day vacation with the people I love the most! 4 more working days and I am DONE. I may stay in Vegas and become a show girl. Don't judge bitches.

Day 15

2010-09-22T18:23:00.000-07:00

Day 14

2010-09-21T19:56:00.000-07:00

A picture of me and my family.

Do I hate to say that the people/things shown in this post are all that I really need? Nope, not one little but I trust these 8 people with my life and if I have no one else then I am perfectly conent with that. I mean look at freaking neice and nephew seriously?! Love everyone shown here in these pictures.

I thought I would throw this one on here to since

A) It says a picture of "YOU" and your family.

B) I'm selfish and everything is about ME

C) My nephew is handsome

D) I can because it's my blog.

E) My nephew is dabomb.com

1 last thing

2010-09-20T20:41:00.000-07:00

My husband better get this for me by Saturday! Total sarcasm aside I want it and I want it now!

Considering how I get almost everything I want, I expect to have this in the very near future and I better be able to ride it before snow is on the ground. Sorry but my snotty brat self doesn't come out that often (or does it?) but it's coming out NOW.

Lack

2010-09-20T20:29:00.000-07:00

I'm just going to come out and say it! I feel like I have cheated on my 30 day blog challenge by writing like not even 4 sentences! I have been so crazy busy lately the only time I have to get on is at night when I can barely keep my eyes open and my husband is begging me to come to bed! I'm so sorry I am really going to try hard to catch up this weekend, until then I will leave you with some pictures of the goofy husband & I. Yes, we always looks this cute!

Day 13

2010-09-20T20:24:00.000-07:00

A letter to someone who has hurt me recently:

To Whom This May Concern:

Fuck you, Fuck you, Oh & Fuck you!

Sincerly,

Yours Truly

Day 12

2010-09-19T21:36:00.000-07:00

Day 10

2010-09-17T15:12:00.000-07:00

Songs I listen to when I am Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

Let me just start off by saying that I love love love oldies.

When I happy I love to listen to anyting like Jack Johnson, Fleetwood Mac, Doobie Brothers, America, Kansas, Elton John and so on!

When I am sad I think I can just crank on some country music and be in a depressed ass mood. You know what they say when you listen to a country song backwards right? You get your wife back, your car back, your dog back etc. haha I'm so funny.

When I am hyped I love anything rap, lately I have really been feeling Eminem, and of course The Game and 50 Cent

When I'm mad I can put on some Disturbed, Seether, NIN, The Used, or Tool.

I am a music junkie and am down for anything that has a story behind it!

T.G.I.F.F

Day 9

2010-09-16T21:55:00.000-07:00

Something I'am proud of in the past few days is:

Teaching my stubborn, cute, lazy, fat, sleepy, (did I say cute?) puppy how to walk on his leash! He is such a big boy now it almost makes me cry, where has his little life gone away too? I hope he is ready for our trip in 1 week! Because I SO am!

Day 7

2010-09-14T20:28:00.000-07:00

Someone who has had the biggest impact on my life:

I'm sorry to say but this one is a no brainer! My Dear Hubbs of course! We have been through SO much together and I never thought we would really end up living our happily ever after together! He has taught me life skills that I would have never learned he loves me for me and I never have to put on an act for him. We both speak our minds and always know where we stand with one another, he is my # 1 Fan and I love him so much!

P.S Sorry for the lack of blog comments this week ladies I have been swamped and exhausted! I have the America conert at our State Fair tomorrow and a hair appt on Thursday! Start throwing your hair color ideas my way! Love you all!

xoxo

Family

2010-09-13T19:21:00.000-07:00

After today, I just want to shout out to my family. I am so blessed to have these 4 people in my life they lift me up when I am down, make my smile when I am sad, make me laugh hysterically when I really don't feel like laughing and most importantly they love me for me. There is no better feeling in the world then knowing that NO matter what you have those solid people to really back you up and be your cheerleaders. I sit back and think what I would do without them and I can't even fathom the thought it would devastate me not to be able to run to any of them! Thanks Daddy, Mama, Sissy, and of course my Dear for ALWAYS being here for me giving me the support, advice, and tough love that I need. I would not be where I am without you and love and apprecaite you guys more then I will ever be able to show! 16 more days till our family trip and it could not come soon enough!!

Day 6

2010-09-13T19:14:00.000-07:00

Superhero

I REALLY wish I had a picture of her but I don't and that crushes me! I'm sure I can rack some up from my Aunts but that is if they are willing to give em'! By Grandma is by far my superhero, she passed after a very strong and aggressive fight with breast cancer! She was that 1 person I could run to for anything and is that 1 person that holds every single one of my secrets like a vault! She never ever judged, tattled when sissy and I were being bad, and always picked me up from school when I was "sick" just to take me to a movie with LOTS of popcorn. I don't know how I have made it this far without her & I really hope she is proud of me, I am still holding on to thought of seeing her again someday. Lois is the epitome of class, graciousness, and kindness. I love her so much & I hope she knows how much I really look up to her and strive to be like her! I wish she was still with me today so I had someone to vent to after my hellish day at work, I will pray to her tonight and ask for her guidance with the things that are going on. I want to thank her for giving me a wonderful and loving father and making my 18 years of live simply amazing!

XOXO

Day 5

2010-09-11T19:55:00.000-07:00

A Place I Have Been Is:

Mexico!

We were fortunate enough to have an all expense paid Honeymoon! (my parents are THE best) Of course we picked Mexico, thank god we did because I don't think I would want to go nowa days! Scary! Our next stop is Europe!

Day 4

2010-09-10T21:26:00.000-07:00

A Habit I wish I didn't have Is:

TEXTING!

I damn the person who invented texting! Sometimes it all I do, I send out about 500 text messages a day! I HATE talking on the phone so if you every try to reach me try it by text message it's pathetic! My parents get so mad at me, especially when I am busy and I don't hear the vibrate alert they start to worry especially if I don't answer the phone! I usually hit ignore then send ya "Hey, What's up?"Yep, it's that bad.

Five Question Friday!

2010-09-10T09:40:00.000-07:00

1. Do you feel guilty spending money on yourself?
Yes, all the time! I never use to but now that I have my own bills I have the hardest time. If I was a millionaire I would buy the people I love such outrageous gifts!

2. How well do you know your neighbors?
We know them pretty well we have been to parties and they are retired so they are home all day to watch our puppies and house which is very comforting! (: Thanks Mark & Diane!

3. What age are you looking forward to being?
I'm not looking forward to growing any older really it makes me sad. It's crazy how time flies, and I try not to wish my life away! I am NOT looking forward to 30 I feel like that might be my mid-life crisis stage!

4. Do you get excited when the mail comes? Why?
Hell No I don't. Well except for the 2nd week of the month when my Cosmo magazine comes! All the other stuff is junk or bills!! Boo!

5. What is your earliest childhood memory?
Swimming in my kiddie pool with my little cousins ! My dad would hook the hose up to our washer and put in real warm water! It was the best thing ever!

Day 3

2010-09-09T19:14:00.000-07:00

Have I really stuck with this thing? I'm pretty sure this is a blogging record! Day 3 is picture with friends! I don't just have 1 so I will share a few!

(Me & my good friend Kylee)

(My 2 best friends Whit & Jess)

Me & some girlfranns!

Potty Trained? Or something else...

2010-09-08T20:31:00.000-07:00

I am such a proud dog mama tonight! Our little Gussie walked around the block on his leash!! If you remember reading in a few posts back we are taking a trip to St. George for the marathon in about 3 weeks and I have been wanting to take Gussie along but he REFUSES to walk on a leash! Maybe because he is a lil' over weight and doesn't want to get made fun of from the other homedogs in the hood? Well we had his 1 year check up over the weekend and he is a whopping 18 pds!!! So, I decided it's time to get his butt in gear for this big trip coming up he HAS to walk on a leash to be able to come he is too heavy for me to lugg around everywhere! After his vet appointment on Saturday I went out and bought him a harness and a leash... we left the harness on him for a few hours and he was fine with it but then we put on the leash! I heard on the show Dog Whisperer that if you let the dog walk around for a bit with the leash hooked on it will help them get use to it faster NOPE not my Gussie Son. He sat and pouted for 2 whole hours, BUT I took him on a walk around the block tonight and he walked the whole way!! (: I am so so proud of him there were times when I had to to tug him a little but other then that he was a freaking champ! I feel like I just potty trained a kid or something!! I am so excited I can't wait to start taking him on walks like I do Chewy he can join along with us now! I rewarded him with a hot dog and now he is passed out in his bedroom, Check it out.

I am one proud mama tonight! Look how precious he is! 3 weeks till our Sister Vegas Trip!! Whoo Hoo!!

Day of 2

2010-09-08T14:10:00.000-07:00

Day 2 of my 30 day challenge is about the meaning of my blog name. I mean there is not in depth meaning its pretty much common sense. My husband was born and raised in Rupert, ID a small farm town of about 5,000 people I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, UT with a population of 2,298,915!! So there is quite a difference, SLC has big (well big to me) city buildings, subdivsions, a 4-5 laned freeway with a speed limit of 65 and 4 or 5 malls! Rupert is SO different, it's kinda funny to think that my husband would want to marry a mall lovin, bleach blonde, valley girl who dies if there isn't a Starbucks 5 minutes from her house and even more funny to think I married a farm boy who would much rather have a jacked up Chevy truck then a Porche sportscar! I'm glad it all worked out the way it did and my husband knows that you can take the girl outta the city but you can't take the city out of the girl. I am a city girl at heart but sometimes I wish I was that peach pickin, horse ridin cowgirl but I never doubt the fact that my hubbs would want to be a city boy. He loves the farm life way too much! There ya have it, that is how I came up with "A Farm Boy Fell in Love with A City Girl." I would be lost with my lil' farm man that's for sure!

(not new at all :/ i am not one for taking pics of myself)

I am the most claustrophobic girL alive! I get panic attacks if I have to sit under freeway over passes for too long! I'd die if I was in jaiL in a tight room or something
I am way too competetive for my own good. So if you try to compete with me every just know that I go for blood.
I honestly was a very sheltered child being in private school and all I didn't know about all the physco odd people that are in this world! Quite sad...
I have never learned how to manage money. Still to this day hubbs does our finances because I am SO friggin' bad at math!
I am a perfectionist. Things have to be done my way so I usually just end up doing them for myself so I know it's done right. I blame my mother!
I am the least artistic person I hate art and being creative I'd rather go to the store and buy something that someone artsy made!
I HATE HATE HATE HATE with a freaking life passion to cook! OMG! Bleh!
I have a weird freakish like thing with people who have dark hair and blue eyes (much like myself) I will NOT have dark hair because I don't think it's right!
I was born with red hair.
I have OCD about all of my clocks being on the same time.
I brush my hair 5 times day. 5 people.
I hate snotty bitchy girls I have WAY more guy friends then girlfriends and I prefer it to be that way. Less drama and freaking emotions.
If I found out someone doesn't like me I honestly don't give a fuck.
I suffer from adult ADD straight up legit ADD. It's bad!
Last but not least I have a thing where the scale CANNOT be above 100 pds omg I have major panic full on asthma attacks.

So let's see you jump in on this and continue to do it for 30 days straight! I am really going to try and stick with this!

1 week

2010-09-07T20:35:00.000-07:00

Please don't kill me! I am so sorry for being SO MIA lately! I swear my life keeps getting busier and busier! And to think we don't even have kids yet is kinda scary! I had a WONDERFUL Labor Day weekend spent with good friends and my amazing family! I got caught up on some much needed sleep and fall cleaning! Is it time to whip out all my cute fabulous fall decorations yet?!

On another serious note if you haven't heard already Boise State WON! Yep, which means I have a very happy and satisfied husband for the rest of the week! Go Me! (: Our party turned out amazingly and I am starting to feel like I am really turning into the Hostess with the Mostest! Here are some pictures for your enjoyment!

The best sugar cookies you will ever scarf down in your lifetime I promise!

Hubbs & I after the BIG win! <3

The Boys!

The 2 cutest Boise fans! (:

BFF's (bros for life)

It runs in the "family"

Me being my jaundice self! :/

The Food table

My Boise nails!

I wish I would have gotten a full picture of our kitchen! It was decked out in orange & blue, I am a not a HUGE football fan but I love to see my husbands face light up when he sees them win! Plus I like to be semi- domesticated and look cute in a Boise jersey for my man! I got the house all decorated cute and made some yummy treats and headed out shoppin with my sissy in law and bff Bri oh and baby! That's being a good wife right?

(blurry)

Is she not the cutest prego girl ever? We were decked in our Boise gear for the boys! It keeps them happy!

Thank you

2010-09-03T15:06:00.001-07:00

G2KYS

2010-08-29T17:47:00.000-07:00

I'm not too sad that it is Sunday! I have a busy but fun work week ahead of me, a 3 day weekend and the BIG Boise State Game on Monday with good friends!

1. If you accidently knick a car in a parking lot..Do you leave a note or do you get the heck out of there?
Yes, of course.

2. Love your body or plastic surgery?
No one can honestly say that they love their body I'm sorry but if you do your high on drugs. I am still selling myself to hubbs about getting my boob job for Christmas! Wish my luck!

3. What about your favorite blog(s) continues to drive you back?
Things that I have in common with other people, young married couples, or even new moms! Love it all!

4. What percent of your blog is BS just to make your life seem more interesting than it really is?
0% I mean, unless my sarcasm is considered bullshit to some people I am sure it is.

5. If you had to give up one type of meat for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Steak without a doubt. Love it!

6. How often to you eat out?
Too often! Probably 3 times a week I think it is cheaper and easier for just the 2 of us!

7. Skinny jeans or boot cut jeans?
Boot cut! My booty and hips are too big for skinny jeans! Altough my sissy can pull them off really well. That bitch!
8. If you caught your spouse cheating would you forgive, divorce, or plan your kill?
I would divorce and I would forgive. Obviously he doesn't really want to be with me in the 1st place if he feels he needs to reach out to other women.

Weekend Re-cap

2010-08-29T17:36:00.000-07:00

I definetly need to say that this weekend has been by far the best weekend of the whole Summer! Yes, given it is my anniversary & I have done so many fun things BUT I think it has just been nice to have my husband ALL to myself with no one else around, no cell phones, no NOTHING! Friday night we were lazy & just hung out at home we made a yummy salmon dinner and lounged on the couch! It was nice to relax and just chill, we went to bed around 11ish to rest up for our busy fun Saturday!

Saturday we woke up layed in bed for awhile, showered and hit the road to Park City. From where we live Park City is only about a 30-45 minute drive! They have good eats, and good shopping and we did both! Ya'll would be so proud of me I didn't step a foot in the Coach store! Not one! Yep, me I didn't do it! ::pat myself on the back:: I hit the Abercrombie & Fitch store full on and the Vans, Nike, and Oakley store! It was so nice! We ate at a yummy restaurant called Red Rock Junction they have one here in SLC too but hubbs felt like a good brew so that is where we chose! We sept about 4 hours up there and we were tired, full, and ready to come home! We came home sat down and rested for awhile and went on our anniversary dinner. We were going to go to a seafood/oyster bar but I didn't feel like dressing up and using my best manner so we went to Outback Steakhouse! I got a yummy juicy steak with some garlic mashed potatoes and hubbs got the lamb! We had a few drinks and came home for a relaxing bubble bath and massages! All in all it was pretty fabulous!

Us conquering the streets of Park City

Today we have done a bunch of cleaning and we went to my dad's side family reunion it was a ton of fun and I got to hang out with my cute cousins!

My baby cousin Allie & I!

Me, Sissy & Allie

(excuse my doubLe chin)

I am going to leave the sappy anniversary lovey dovey talk out! My husband knows how much I love & appreciate him and if he doesn't he should! I am a very luck and I am blessed with so many things. Right now my life couldn't be any better! Now, we are planning a BIG family trip with my dad's side to DisneyLand for Christmas! Bring on the old memories & new ones! Hope you guys have a great week! I don't think I will be able to blog much I am going to be so slammed at work since I'm taking on 1/2 of our HR Directors duties! Yep, movin on up!

Anniversary Weekend

2010-08-28T22:30:00.000-07:00

How the FREAK did I forget to mention that it is our anniversary weekend! Our actual anniversary is on Monday BUT we are celebrating it today since it is Saturday! My husband knows me so well and bought me these purty beauties!

Yup, I'm lucky! One of the reasons why I married him right? I am SO your tennis shoe girl I think I own like 1 pair of high heels and I fall on my face everytime I wear them plus I have been asking for a pair of Air Force 1's for quite sometime now! These are pretty close to perfection. I will back tomorrow with more pictures, an ode to my husband, and a weekend recap! Hope your having a wonderful weekend too! :]

BOOKED!

2010-08-26T09:31:00.000-07:00

-I don't think I have ever mentioned this in a post before, but my mom and sissy are HUGE runners. I use to be a sprinter in high school but I can't do the whole distance thing. Although I can kick your trash in a 200 meter or even 50 meter sprint. (just ask my hubbs). Every year we make a venture down to St. George, Utah for the big marathon that they have there! I have been doing this since I was a little girl but now that our family has extended it's a different last year my sister's boyfriend C joined us! It was a fun trip except my hubbs was out hunting and couldn't be there so techically I was the 5th wheel! This year however, it's just the Fantastic 4 again! Me, mama, papa, and big sissy and boy am I excited! The marathon is October 2nd and my sisters birthday is the 20th of October so genius, smart (alcholic?) me decided to take a little detour and go to Vegas to celebrate sissys birthday and the 2nd ran marathon! Sissy and I are leaving on the 29th and were going to spend the day and night in Vegas then the next day we will meet up with my mom and dad in St. George, after the marathon is ran we head down to Mesquite for the seafood buffet and swimming! Sissy and I are staying at

Treasure Island

Can't wait to swim, shop, and drink the night away! Lucky for me Sissy isn't a big drinker so I will have a babysitter! I'm so excited and I am going to HIG my Sissy all to my freaking self! We are going to have so much fun and it's going to be just like old time! Although I am going to miss my honey but he will be out hunting doing what he loves. Remind me why we want to have kids again? None of this stuff would be as fun I don't think! Wish us luck I am not counting down the days 33 to go!

Top 2 Biggest Indulgences

How the hell am I going to narrow this down to just 2 things? I don't want to do the tyical indulgences either, what's a gal to do?

1. A Bubblebath & Candles

2. Handbags

Mini Remodel

2010-08-23T20:29:00.000-07:00

Our anniversary is in 1 week! 2 years together and one hell of a time! We have had our ups and downs as every couple but it has been SO worth it! I love him more and more everyday! Instead of doing something BIG like going out of town or staying the night in the hotel that we did on our wedding night ($400!!!!) We decided to do a little remodel and to our front room, something we have been wanting to do for quite sometime now! So I got some before & after pictures and you will have to let me know what ya think!

Before

This is what we had before. Our 52" LCD on our kitchen buffet! (may I just say LCD's kick Plasma's ars) ;] So we bought a swivel wall mount that can swivel in almost in direction and we have had the surround sounds speakers that you can see in the picture for quite a while so we hung those up too! Here are some after pictures of our new "entertainment shelf, wall mount, and surround sound! Just in time for Boise Football!

After

Notice the speakers now hung on the wall! I love this shelf that we got it came with the 3 shelfs and of course I had to buy the DVD sorters! Yes, I even put our DVD's in alphabetical order! I plan to make some modge podge Boise Bronco letters to put on top of the shelf!

Here is a look at the other 2 speakers we hung! Now our TV is blasting but hey, my hubbs is in heaven and is so stoked for football season. So if he is happy I am happy! :] Thanks for our besties A & B for helping us well A anyway! :]

Weekend Re-Cap

2010-08-23T20:21:00.000-07:00

I'm gonna make this short & sweet & picture filled! Friday I took off a half day to go to the lake with my sissy and go boating! It was SO much fun I didn't get out on the wake or jet ski's I just sat my happy ass on the boat and tanned BUT my sis tore up the wake that's for damn sure! I only got 1 picture because I was too busy hogging all of my sisters attention!

JordaneLLe Resevoir

Friday night hubbs & I went out to dinner just the 2 of us it was so nice to have one on one time! It's hard to catch him when he isn't working! Then we were going to go to a late movie but guess what we did! Grocery Shopped! ::gasp:: Yep, us 21 & 22 on a Friday grocery shopping and going to bed at 10! Someone remind me when I became so grammyish? Please & Thank you! Saturday night we slept in and cleaned for our little bbq party! (let me just say if you weren't there you missed out!)

We had a fabulous turn out and had so much fun! Here are some pictures of our night:

My hubbs was beyond GONE at this point!

BFFs Fo Life

They LOVE each other. Can ya teLL?

And this is how I finished my night!

Yep, hubbs went to sit down on his camping chair it collapsed and he is passed out on the grass. We had to squirt his face with the hose to get him to stand up to take him inside! I almost just left him there! It was pretty funny, these are the times that help remind me not to grow up so fast, take things slow and let them come as they will! :] We had a fabulous night, no responsibilites, just the way we like it!

Absence

2010-08-23T12:23:00.000-07:00

I am the baby of the family and expect everyone to treat me that way.
My husband is truely my best friend and I really don't care if I have anyone else.
I was a very sheltered child. I didn't believe nor think there was really evil in the world.
I like to find everything out the hard way.
If you realize this right off hand you will get a long with me. It's MY way or the HIGHWAY. period.
When I fill up my gas tank it has to be an even dollar such as $24.00
I have a thing where I can't sleep near the bedroom door!
My sister is my other 1/2
I am addicted to hair bleach.

Join in so we can all learn about you! My 2 year anniversary is coming up this weekend and I can't wait!! Hope you guys have a wonderful Monday! :]

baby talk!

2010-08-18T20:45:00.000-07:00

As I posted earlier this week hubbs & I had the official "baby talk". I mean of course we discussed it before we were married and mentioned things like baby names and hair color every now and then but we have never really had an official plan. We both have always been very "anti-kids" now that I sit down and actually plan out my life I don't think it's the kids part as much as it is the "freedom" part. We like our freedom and we do as we please ALWAYS. That's just the way we like it, but when we are 50 are we always going to want to do our own thing? NO! Of course not, we are going to want a stable household with kids and grandkids! So, as we have seen our friends grow up, and go in different directions with kids and what not it has really made us re-evaluate what we truly want out of life and when. The decision has been made to wait 2 more years. If you know me well enough you will know that I need everything planned out to the T. Date, Time, Outfits EVERYTHING I am a planning FREAK! So, our game plan is to:

Put our home up For Sale in 1 year 1/2. We want something newer, bigger, and of course out of Kearns!
Make sure our jobs are completely stable.
Start TTC
Purchase our next home that we will be in until our kids are in High School or so.
Have our kiddies back to back so they are very close in age.

See, that is what I am talking about with lists. Does anyone else have a list of how their life needs to go in order? Hubbs thinks I am crazy but happily goes with it! I know things aren't going to work out EXACTLY as planned but I like to think so and will try my hardest for it all to happen! Call me a freak but I want to be 110% sure we can support ourselves before we bring another human being into our live! Crazy to think that I have my sweet husband for the rest of my life! FOREVER! & I am so lucky to be the one he chose to be his baby mama! I Now, where is my 2 year coutdown ticker?!

PoLish

2010-08-16T15:23:00.000-07:00

~~Sun~~Monday! Last night I thought I would get a little wild and glitter paint my fingernails! Now please note that I don't usually like glitter on my fingernails I have to keep it professional for work! But this color actually isn't too bad! Let me know what you think! It's just a cheap brand from the store and I love it!

I thought I would take a picture of my nails and wedding ring since I have had a few requests for a picture! There ya have it! It has pink sapphire around the band! I FREAKING love my wedding ring! It is so orginal and I don't see anyone else with one like it! My husband did a fantastic job picking it out and pin pointed my personality to the T!

I just wanna shout out to my wonderful loving and so caring husbear he was rewarded about a $150 raise a month at work and was told he was one of the Top Performers! He is always working so hard and taking on extra hours to give us such a wonderful amazing life! Being with him I never have to stress about money or bills really because he always pulls through! He is such a supporting man and our future children will be so lucky to have such a wonderful role model to look up too. I love him for all that he does for me and the future we have together! Seriously so blessed to have married such an amazing guy! We have our moments but they only make us stronger! We are creeping up our 2 year wedding anniversary and they have been the best 2 year of my ENTIRE life! I'd say they beat out that one Christmas that I got my barbie dream house! That was pretty epic! So here is to my husband, supporter, rock, best friend and confidant!

Excuse me for the temporary absence! I have been SO crazy busy it's not even funny! These last few weeks of Summer are ~~FLYING~~ by right before my eyes and I am having a hard time keeping up! So here is my FUN weekend recap! Friday night one of my best girlfriends and I went and saw Jack Johnson in concert.
It was SO fun to get out just the 2 of us. No husbands, no kids, nada, just us, a beer, and some bomb ass nachos!

Jack was amazing live and did a great job at entertaining the crowd! Here are some pics to follow our amazing fun night!

In case you people are wondering. YES I am a hat collector!

We had LOTS of fun!

(Excuse my arm fat that is rather disgusting!)

Yesterday/Last Night we had the privelage of having a sleep over with my neice and nephew! Their parents took off on a anniversary night in Park City! I had so much fun with them and given my neice is only 5 months but she was such an angel! She even let her crazy Auntie paint her little toesies! Check em' out!

So freaking cute right? This little girl is damn adorable and such a good babe she melts my heart every time I see her!

Me & my main man played in the water while Uncle and baby took a nap! We had a good time making a river down the gutter. I didn't get many pics because I was too busy running around Our best friends that I mentioned in the post HERE slept over as well! I don't think in that post I mentioned that A is actually nephews Uncle too! Confused? I hope not! It was a GREAT weekend! Now I need to go help hubbs put together some stuff for our surround sound! I will post pics of the mini remodel laterz! Hope ya had a fabulous weekend! :]

A more then handsome and loving husbear who ALWAYS strives to do the very best that he can for our family.
My sweet puppy doggies who greet me at the door every evening with their tails going 100 MPH!
My big sissy for ALWAYS having my back no matter what silly thing I have done.
My sister in law for the bond that we have been able to have.
My sweet neice and nephew and the light they bring into all of our lives.

& of course the usual stuff like food, water, cookies, hair bleach, stuff like that!

Let's see what you are blessed with this week!

2010-08-10T20:40:00.000-07:00

I am back in on joining with Top 2 Tuesday and this week's topic is:

Favorite 2 Tips

I don't even like to share my dirty secrets/tips they are MINE for a reason. BUT since I have shared a lot about my own life and have made some awesome friends from my bloggy I will go ahead and put my selfishness aside ::claps: for ya'll.

1. I curl my hair with a straightner. If you are like me and like the curls to be a lot looser with a straighter bottom curl them with your straightner and take it curled through your whole hair at a medium speed! Try it!

2. When you feel like cracking at work, in confrontation, anything just close your eyes and count to ten and think about what your mom would say about the way you react! I put a lot into thinking "Would my parents be proud?" it helps me a lot! (did that make me sound like I am still on my mom's tit?)

So there you have it! Link up and let me know what you think and go try out my curling tip :]

Thoughts?

2010-08-10T20:33:00.000-07:00

On the Bachelor Pad?

I freaking loved it. I am so pathetic and love reality t.v drama. Tenley though.. kinda got on my nerves I think she was a ~~LITTLE~~ dramatic when it came to Michelle. Yes, Michelle is physco and Tenley should have considered teh source before going in the bathroom with that crazy chick! AND....

Did anyone else think Elizabeth's hair matched her horrible,nasty,orange spray on tan? Yep. I did and it bugged me the whole show I am starting to think that this lady is more crazo then Michelle.

HELLO Mr. Jesse Beck

Husbear even watched this with me! He was eyeballing Gina so I dibbs Jesse! ;] I can't wait for next Monday I am rooting for Tenley the drama queen and Jesse! ::wipes drool::

The End.

Nail Polish Sunday (Sportin' Sunday)

2010-08-08T21:02:00.000-07:00

This week I am sporting:

OPI Purple Opolis

I just painted and I am not sure how I feel about it yet I'm not a HUGE purple fan so I may have to sleep on it! It is kinda darker then the picture but I REALLY don't feel like changing them again tonight. If I can't sleep on it I will update the color I switch too!

What color are you sportin' this week?

Boise State

2010-08-08T13:18:00.000-07:00

If you don't know already Husbear is a HUGE Boise State fan. (HUGE being an understatement) He was born in Idaho and has some sort of freaked out craze for the Broncos'. Not sure if you rememeber reading THIS we have lost some friends over the rivalry. Living in UT and all it's pretty fun to see how worked up some people can get about it. I mean I only enjoy this and like to watch the games because I know how much R likes it and enjoys it when I get into it too. So in no way am I one of those fat girls who "acts" like they know everything about football and just "loves the game". Honestly I don't, I put on a smile and cute outfit for my hubbs as I know he would be my cheerleader for something I throughly enjoy! So for those who can't admit that Boise is a good time and that they do deserve to be in the MWC here is to another GREAT football season! ;]

I am planning a ~~HUGE~~ small party for hubbs with his closest friends who are indeed Boise Fans too! I am going to make some yummy football rice krispies

ands LOTS of blue and orange decor! I hope hubbs enjoys it because I have been having a blast planning it all! Invitations will be coming in the mail by the end of the week I will be sure and get a picture up as the decorations come in and of course get one on game day! :]

Who are you rooting for this football season?

Weekend Re-cap

2010-08-08T13:09:00.000-07:00

I am not to sad that it is Sunday already. After a hard week of negative thoughts I am excited to start this week with positive thoughts and lots of support from the ones I love most. In life there is no reason to be down, sad, or angry it's all about embracing it and moving forward and that is what I plan on doing. I have a wonderful life and I need to be grateful for everything that I do have. I had yet another awesome weekend with my fam, and friends! Since our 2 yr anni is fastly approaching instead of going on vacation somewhere husbear and I decided to do some home improvements that we have been wanting to do. So Friday night we headed out to find a new entertainment shelf for the corner of our front room. We are putting our 52" on a wall mount, using the shelf for odds and ends! It's going to look so good and the surround sound that we are installing will be perfect for our kick off footbaLL party! (more on that later)

We bought the shelf and all the bells and whistles to go with it then we headed out to dinner with our besties seen here:

They are expecting in Jan and we couldn't be more excited for them and do plan on having our children close together so when they have their 2nd or 3rd we will be starting! After dinner they came over to help husbear and I set up our new shelf. Well, the girls mostly sat on the couch while the boys worked. ;]

It was fun and we always have good talks and laughs!

Saturday day was spent doing laundry and cleaning the house. Sissy, C, Hubbs and I headed out to Rocky Mountain Raceway for VIP service. We had a bbq buffett dinner (which was pretty good) followed by free beer and a good time betting on what car was going to win!

Husbear & I chowin.

Sissy & I acting excited!

Today we are lounging around in our PJ's then heading to mama and papa bears for our usual Sunday dinner! I can't believe Summer is almost over I am kinda excited my house looks dang cute for Halloween! It's one of my 2 fav Holidays!

I am back.

Week or 1/2 week

2010-08-04T17:13:00.000-07:00

It hasn't even been a full week yet and I can honestly say that it has been the WORST 3 days of my life (or close to). I maybe a baby about some of this stuff but with most of it I don't think I am over reacting at all!

1. Today marks the 4th year my Grandma passed. I always have such a hard time around the 1st of August.

2. My mom and sis were going through a lil' spat the past couple of days. I blame it on reason #1.

3. Yesterday was by the far the worst "work day" I've ever had! My boss is Indian so he is very direct and to the point we had a sales guy quit and I swear to you my boss decided that it was my fault so he took all his aggression and anger out on me. Of course with the thick skin that I do have I didn't let him see that it was really getting to me. Once I got into my car at lunch I BAWLED full on tears sobbing! I never ever never ever cry! It takes A LOT to make me cry I never do it because I am sad I mostly do it because I am mad and frustrated well I was every emotion in the book yesterday! It all hit me at once, I was glad the day was over but I wasn't really ready for "reality" to hit and for today to come. I haven't stopped thinking about my Grandma ALL day I've been wearing the ring she left for me all week long it's almost like I am going through the greiving process all over again...

The grieving process gives us time to reflect and find new strength that enables us to continue life's journey and regain peace-of-mind.

Denial & Isolation- Yes, and No. I have thought about just taking a night to myself, no cell phone, no partner NOTHING! Just leaving and evalutating everything!
Anger- Oh hell yeah! I have had this the worst I'm very angry I'm so mad at God for taking my Grandmother at the time that he did, the time that I needed her the most.
Bargaining- I've been bargaining with myself thinking well if I can just get through today I will treat myself to ice cream tonight or if I don't break down right now it just shows how strong I really am.
Depression- Yep of course when the 1st of August comes around this sets in HARD. When one thing goes wrong it's like my world is crashing and everything is else is going wrong.. Or so I think.
Acceptance- I don't think I will ever accept the fact that the wonderful motherly figure in my life is gone. It's too hard of a thing to just swallow your pride and say what's done is done.

Not only is it work and my grandmother passing but I was supposed to start my period today! (eek!) Hopefully I am just late due to all of the stress I put on myself. Do you ever feel like you just want to go sit somewhere alone and think about everything? I really feel like I have shown myself how strong I really am and how thick my skin is. Thanks to everyone for dealing with my bitchy mood lately.

Slacker

2010-08-04T17:00:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry I have been so slacker status the last couple days! It has been a super hard week for me and the gloomy rainy weather here in the SL hasn't help my mood ANY! (more on my crappy mood later) On to something more positive that cheered me up a bit!

Thanks to Ms. Katie I was awarded this!

I like to think my blog is interesting and fun to read so thanks for the motivation to keep at it! Here are a few more bloggys that I love to catch up with!

Mrs. D - She is my friend in "real" life and is so sweet & will have the most gorgeous babe eva!

Mrs. G- I love to read her blog we have a lot in common!

CMAE- Love her, her blonde hair, and her puppy!

So there ya have it! Thanks again Jersey Blonde keep doin' your thang!

Ladies,

It's that time again!

This Tuesday's topic is favorite perfume smells! I love smell goods and I especially love them on my main man so here is 1 of MY favorites and one of my MANS favorites!

1. Juicy Couture

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this smell. If you put just the right amount on it is very elegant and sweet smeilling, don't put too much on or it becomes too ~~musky~~!

2. Very Sexy for him 2

When R wears this I just want to eat him up! It's like we are dating all over again! :]

So go out and purchase these two smells I bet you'll love em'!

GTKUS

2010-07-25T16:13:00.000-07:00

It's seriously Sunday AGAIN?!

1. Thong or Granny Panties?
I love me some granny panties. Hubbs calls them "cheekies" I wear them at night and thongs during the day! :] I cannot sleep in anything else!

2. If you see a guy with his fly down, do you tell him?
If I know him yes! If not know wouldn't you think they would wonder why you were looking down there?

3. Spanx or no Spanx?
It depends! I like to think I am skinny enough to not have to wear them! But when it comes down to some little black dresses that I do have spanx are the only way to go!

4. Do you sleep in your sheets?
No, we have a comforter that we have had for years and its the only thing we usually sleep with it's so comfy and worn I don't think I could sleep with anything else!

5. What is your favorite Disney character?

Aboo from Aladdin he is the cutest little creature!

6. Dream vacation spot?
Africa!

I want to take an African Safari on an elephant so bad! It looks like so much fun to me, it is on my Bucket List.

7. What is your dream job?

I love Dolphins just as much as I love dogs! Growing up I use to be so envious (who am I kidding I still am?) of the ladies that were training the Dolphins at Sea World! I would pack up my house, dogs, and hubbs in a heart beat if I had the chance to be one!

8. Who is your hero and why?
My Grandma Lois. She was such a strong, compassionate, caring, loving, beautiful, generous, funny woman. I never remember her being negative at all whatsoever. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer for a 2nd time I had a gut feeling that it was good. It progressivly got worse I was a junior in high school when my Aunt put her into the nursing home. I'm still bitter about it. I needed my Grandma the most at that point in my life I watched her go downhill until she finally "gaveup". I use to think cancer beat her, she let it win, did she not love us all enough to fight? Of course she did I know she "gaveup" because it was best for all of us it was hard to see her suffer. She taught me so much in my life, always take it one step at a time, and be grateful for today. Live for today and not tomorrow. I miss her so much and love her more then anyone knows.

Once we got all checked in I immediately put my swim suit on and hit the river with my nephew! I swear we played in the water together 90% of the time that we were there! My back hurts so bad from being hunched over eyeing the water for minos! We caught about 15 total the whole trip!

Our 1st catches!

Thursday night we headed to the hot springs and then some drama happened. I'm not going to go into full detail about it but it was pretty bad! R and I headed home early to avoid it all together we weren't supposed to come home till today but we left late last night. Let's just say that we both learned a lot about each other and I learned the most about myself. I kept my class, pride & dignity and I am very proud for the way I held myself together and am so thankful for my SIL for the support she was able to give to me. I am being as optimistic as possible and am taking it all as lessons learned... at least I got a GOOD tan!

Friday morning we had a yummy breakfast and the 1st group headed out on the raft! They rafted down the river for 3 hours! While they were gone I played with these 4 cuties ALL day

My nephew Peyton & kid Seth!

My niece Addyson.

She is starting to teeth! I can't belive it she was just a itty bitty baby yesterday what happened? In my eyes she is still too little to have teeth she was fussy and sick for most of the trip. nbut oh so cute and loveable!

This is Brooks.

Ryan's cousin Erica's cute little boy! He says the funniest things and has the cutest little personality ever!

We mainly fished for minos and my nephew caught a frog that we lost 2 x then I became my nephews hero because I re-caught the frog.

That night we had a hawaiin cookout wore some awesome t-shirts, played some fun games, and had a bonfire it was my favorite night of the whole trip.

Our t-shits read "I was lei'd in Stanley Idaho. My BIL designed them and they turned out so cute and we were all very happy to wear them! Gma and Gpa even put them on! :]

Even baby Addy got in on the action

Ry & his Grandpa

Saturday we woke up bright and early had breakfast and headed out to Red Fish Lake. I was so surprised with how pretty it was! The water was so crystal clear you could catch mino's for days, the marina was awesome and we even rented out some paddle boats!

Due to the drama R and I headed out Saturday around 4. We hashed it out for about 2 hours of thE 7 hour drive. We stopped in Twin Falls and had dinner and shopped for a little bit it was nice to be with just him and get a breather from all the tension. We didn't arrive home till 1 AM this morning we have been lounging and doing laundry all day. I am so thankful for the drama that did happen I gained a lot out of it, became closer to my SIL and BIL and spent some nice quality time with my sweet nephew. I'm so glad to be home and even happier to take a nice hot long shower! Back to work tomorrow BOO!!
