A husband who LOVES to shovel snow!! :)

Thank you Veterans

I am so thankful for the Veteran's who fought and continue to fight for our country.
I am grateful that they willingly put themselves in harms way to protect me, my freedoms and the freedom's of others around the world. It is such a self-less act, and it is a wonderful example of charity and courage.

Happy Veteran's day to both my grandpa's.

Grandpa Gubler served in the Air Force
Grandpa Crowley served in the NAVY
&
Happy Veteran's day to Brett's grandpa's

Grandpa Blodgett served in the ARMY
Grandpa Adamson served in the ARMY
And Grandpa Jenkins served in the Air Force

And thank you to Brittany Cayford, my best friend and buddy since the day I was born. Brittany is in the NAVY, and she is amazing!!

When I've had a bad day...

When I have had a hard day of living in a snow covered winter wonderland- which yes is beautiful- but is more miserable than beautiful because it makes me too cold to function. I mean it, my hands get purple and I can't use them. My lips freeze shut and I can't/won't talk to anyone because cold air will get in if I open my mouth and I automatically turn grumpy...
AND THEN... I go to work, hungry (because I haven't had time to eat the wonderful lunch my hubby packed me) :) and I get yelled at and whined at by clients at work and then I feel like I am not making a difference and that they hate me.. so why bother?!
HOWEVER... when I've had a bad day and I come home to my sweet husband it makes life great again. And then... I thumb through old photos and find this treasure.

My noble steed, Duncan, cuddling with my crazy cat Zoogie. I don't miss them more then I miss my family, but I think I miss them just as much... SICK, some of you might say... but I just say it's extra love I give and extra love I get! :)


p.s. I think it was also easy for me to write this angry post because I am still hungry (just to lazy to get up and make something yet) and I'm extra heated because the handsome guy I live with got a ticket today....

I'm not heated at my handsome hubby... just at the cop & giving money for no reason is really difficult for me to do.

But now, with the writing of this post I'm letting my bad day go. Poof it's gone.

The End.

Quick video of Kaley in the ER!!

Kaley gets stitches

We were enjoying a weekend with Dustin and Moriah and Kaley... we had done a lot of fun things, and we were just enjoying a saturday morning of football at the park.
Kaley was going deep for a pass, trying to out-run her brothers (which she did by the way) she caught an amazing catch, turned to run and ran SMACK into a HUGE tree.
We ran over there and blood was POURING from her forehead and legs...
so we too her to the ER where she got some stitches...

This is the nurse that helped Kaley, who was really nice. Brett and Dustin went back with Kaley which made her feel better.

I also have a cool video of her, but it's not working right now... hopefully soon

I just want to stop looking at that scary picture...

I don't want to look at my husband as a vampire anymore, so I am desperate to find something else to blog about. Since I have no fun pictures or anything new to post, I just thought I would post a few pictures of things I am enjoying lately.

This is what the burg is looking like lately. I'm loving it. Usually by now we have snow- but it is full of yellow/orange/red leaves and so beautiful! I'm trying to soak it up before the snow hits...

I have been doing yoga these past couple weeks and it's been so fun. I never thought I'd enjoy it, but we do a lot of strength building as well as stretching and it is a lot of fun.
It is a free class on campus and me and some girls from the ward go- My friend and I are trying to convince our husbands to go with us... we'll see if that happens! :)
