Valentine’s Day

February 17th, 2013

My husband loves me ….  He REALLY loves me

We go to Best Buy and we are looking at tablets and I see one I really like.  I am looking at all the tablets comparing them to this one I have my eye on.  It turns out the one I was interested in is better than all the other tablets.  Matthew goes to the counter and tells the associate we want the TF300 tablet and he gets it for me for Valentine’s Day.  I was so excited and then there came more.

I’m at work and I get a dozen beautiful red roses, a teddy bear (that is really super soft), and a box of chocolates delivered to me.  WOW!!! That’s all I could say was WOW.

They are still in perfect bloom and I look at them and just keep realizing how lucky I am to have a wonderful husband who thinks of me, helps me, LOVES me and is always there for me.  I realize there are not very many men still out there who open the car door for you, takes you out on a real date, loves our children whole hardheartedly and just is so wonderful all around.  I am truly blessed to have my soul mate here on earth and to continue being with me throughout eternity.

I LOVE YOU Matthew and I know you are the Mr Perfect for me!!!

Still snowing

January 29th, 2013

 

It’s just mushy now making the roads even more dangerous.  I’m still sliding and almost spun out a few times but I have been managing.  When it gets warmer we are going to have major flooding.  That won’t make the road conditions better.  We are not done seeing the storms roll in.

Snow and Ice

January 27th, 2013

So we went to a Stake fireside tonight with Kayla to get her prepared for Trek and on our way home a car stops in front of us on a hill, (the roads are pure ice covered over in snow), and of course this creates all kinds of issues for us and everyone else behind.  We tried to go up this hill with severe road conditions and we then start burning rubber.  We are trying to get by this car that got stuck in front of us and it wasn’t going very well. With the car skidding, peeling out, and trying really hard not to spin out of control Kayla and I decided to get out of the car and start pushing.  We are in church clothes and Kayla in heels pushing the car while Matthew tries to get the car back on the road away from the possible disaster all this was creating.  We got back on the road very quickly so Kayla and I jump in the car while it’s slowly moving not to get stuck again.  We get home safely.  (Hallelujah)

This was a very interesting night to say the least.  This will make a very fun morning when I have to head out for work.  I will be leaving at least an hour before my shift, not taking any chances on being late.  This weather came on suddenly and that’s why it created very dangerous road conditions.  This weather is supposed to continue on through Wednesday so these road conditions are not going to get any better.

Not to mention the very dense fog these past few days making it where you can’t see anything in front of you.  You can’t see street lights until you are almost close to them.  I have never, ever, ever  drove in this kind of  weather and it was a very quick driving lesson I learned as I went.

We shall see how the days continue what we are in for going forward

Happy New Year

January 1st, 2013

We have made it to 2013. We get to have another year of many memories good and bad for the next 12 months.

2013 here we go…

Christmas and the New Year

December 22nd, 2012

Christmas isn’t going to be much this year with the move and everything but Kayla and Sydney are being awesome about it.  It feels like not too long ago we were waiting for the ball to drop from NY city, tax day, and the 4th of July.  Now we are starting a whole new year of NY city, tax day, and the 4th of July with probably more predictions of the end of the world dates that will never happen.  The end is coming but no one knows when and that day will either be glorious or miserable depending on how it ends for them.

We are grateful for what we have and the blessings we receive from others.  It makes things a little bit better knowing you have good people in your life.  This will be a time to reflect on what this past year has brought to our family and what we can do to try and make this next year better.

We want everyone to have a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year

Move is over, Hallaluah

December 22nd, 2012

This was the WORST move EVER with snow and ice!!!  Moving from AZ to Orem and Orem to Taylorsville was 100% better than this move.  I’m just happy it’s done.  Putting our new place in order well…  That’s coming along bit by bit.

I hope this is it until we can get another house

Moving AGAIN

December 5th, 2012

So we are moving again because our apartment is way to expensive to stay.  New ownership came in and changed a lot of things to where it is no longer worthwhile to stay either.  We are moving to West Kearns borderline West Jordan which is about 15 – 20 min South of our current location.  I really love the area and the apartment is pretty much the same size as what we have now.  It’s going to be a good change for all of us and we are actually excited about it.  Of course the actual  move is not exciting.  We move in this Friday 12/7/12 and it’s supposed to be raining and possibly snowing, what a great start to our day.

Our new address will be: 6031 Thorncrest Way #105 Kearns UT 84118

Kayla participated in the Saturday afternoon youth choir at general conference.  It was such an amazing experience for her and a once in a lifetime opportunity.  She had a lot of fun and was able to make new friendships.  Kayla was highlighted a few times during the performances and that was also exciting for her and us. This picture is the youth in our ward that participated.

 

 

Kayla is at the very bottom 3rd one in.

 

New kitten

December 5th, 2012

My cat Ivory disappeared over a year ago and I have been so depressed about it that Matthew said I needed to get another one.  I keep thinking he will come home but he isn’t going to be.  Matthew said I would talk about him in my sleep too.  He was my cat and he was so friendly, loving, and we were attached to each other.  Well I did get another cat, it’s a black kitten.  I never wanted a black cat but that was all there was so we all picked a male kitten out and brought him home.  Well he was 3 months old when we rescued him and he is now about 6 months old.  He is such a friendly, loving cat as well and we are now attached.  He just kept coming to me and just became mine.  I was so happy about that and although I still think of my lovely Ivory I have grown to love my new kitten just as much.  Matthew named him Blade of all things.  Very fitting though.

                             
         

Sydney’s updated hair style

December 5th, 2012

I decided 2 weeks after the previous style to cut her hair short.  I donated 16″ and I was completely devastated, but it has turned out to be quite cute.  I will be taking her back to do some additional shaping to make sure it grows out evenly.  When they cut it this time they were unable to get it completely styled due to the previous cut shaved it up the front.  She wants her hair to grow out again so she is worried about going back and getting it cut again.  It’s only to fix what was damaged before that was unable to be fixed.  I am happy her curls are still there.
