Bittersweet

Well some of you know we finally sold our house.The new one that we built a couple of years ago. The lady that bought it was a 92 yr. old and she is sassier then a box of hot tamales...you would never know she was that old. The first time i met her was on the day we closed, and she said, The lord is going to bless you for all your hard work some day, and Im just glad i get to be the recipent of your nice home. It was crazy how it all panned out, but at the end of the day, I am so glad she gets to live there. We didn't even put it up for SALE. Can you believe that? I got a phone call from a guy one day saying he heard we were going to sale it, and that he might be interested. Two weeks later i showed him the home and he said he was looking for his mother who would be moving here from CA. Two days later he put in a offer and three weeks later we closed. It was a cash offer so everything went super fast.

I have to say that I did cry. I cried for the gratitude that i felt that the Lord was blessing us to help us move on from this whole ordeal. I personally have learned so much through this, and although it has been rough, I never would have not wanted to go through it....I could have done without our last renters, but at the end of the day, I know the lord needed me to be humbled, and go through this long trial for a reason. So farewell to the home on 1390N. you are now only a memory.................

Random I know

ok so some of you know i tend to get a little personal sometimes while writing on this blog, and some people have even commented on how they would never go into that much personal info for others to read, but i guess i am an open book. Today i am writing this because i feel a little down. Not in a bad way, I really mean things are going well, but i just can't seem to get out of a little slump i am in. This time of year is just hard on me and i am not sure why....I guess i am a sun girl, and it has been SO cold. Our renters are moving out of our house today, and you would think i would be jumping for joy, but i am tired of living a life i so call the "gospel" life, but yet i talk negativly about them to others, and honestly i told him that i don't care to see him ever again....RUDE right..but it did feel a little good to get off my chest. But why can't i live the gospel principles more fully...and this isn't a shout out for sympathy, its just a honest question. We are taught everyday to love those that despise us, pray for those that do evil unto us...and not be judgemental. Our renters are not my only problem too. Sometimes i feel like my intentions are good, but they come across the wrong way. Or i am judgemental.....which is sad, and i need to work on that. I guess the thing that is great about the gospel is that we have repentance 24/7. I know i need to let the atonement work more fully in my life, but some days it is hard to want to be reared up and ready to go do great things EVERYDAY....does anyone else feel that way? Well enough about that. But the quote above sums it up best for me today, that i need to get back on course and try harder to finish what i have started. We had a girl named Courtney come and talk to our Relief Society last night....She has a famous blog called c jane and she is sisters with Stephanie Nielson who was in the plane crash. She told us that several people have been very mean and cruel and told her to not blog anymore, but she does it because of her talent to write. She is not getting off her course because someone made fun of her, or doesn't like her. She just trys hard to be herself. That is what i need to work on. Loving myself for me, not for my faults like i mentioned above....I know over time things will change and i will probably even feel better tomorrow because it is a different day, who knows. but thanks for reading this lame post, and i hope it helps if you have ever felt the same

Kinda Random

I wanted to share some of our pictures from Chicago back when we went in Oct. We had so much fun. Jason had a conference there, and honestly i just hung out by my self most of the day, but we had a great time there....

This little nut did well....................well for the most part. He wanted us to come home after the second day of being gone....But he had fun with grandparents and cousins.

Dedicated

I want to still blog, i have not done it for so long. So i am rededicating myself to doing it. I feel like it is good for me and for family members to see how our family is changing............So for now i am going to start blogging again

Me and my Buddy

So a few of my friends have taken their kids to the bean museum in the last couple of days, so i decided i too would join the fun and take Boston there. It was actually really fun for him. The only other time i have been there is when he was just little, and of course he does not remember it at all..But can i just say, it stinks bad in there. Im not sure if it is just a combination of old dusty animals, and an old building, or all the people inside too....there were so many school kids there. But Bostons favorite part....................the gift shop of course. That is all he wanted to do was play with the toys there... But overall a good fun day with my little buddy.

Shake what your Mama Gave you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me and Golds are good friends...In the last 8 year i have been going there (off and on) i have given them lots and lots of money, and of course for good reasons, too lose weight right??? Well i have been going pretty much everyday, and things are good, except Im still not losing weight, one small problem.....I do feel better, and I am getting stronger, and i have said a little prayer telling H.F. that i need help losing weight,,so while i still wait, i only still have one problem....why are my tatas still so big........seriously...you know you have a problem when your son, who is almost three can put your bra cup on his head and it is still BIG.......WOW is all i can say

So until H.F. comes through for me, i will still wait, and while i wait, i guess i will shake what my mama gave me.....

Rededicated.......

So I am totally missing everyones updates......It just seems with the holidays and all, I have been swamped and haven't had any time to read or update my blog.....but Iam getting back to business.....I have missed out already...So i am fully getting back on track....I hope everyone had a fun Christmas....We sure did...more pictures to follow....

I just feel this is the best way for me to keep a journal of all our weekly things....but does it seem like no one is blogging that much anymore??????

Maybe it's just me, but i still love to read and hear all about the latest happenings for all of you.....So keep them coming

Missing Her

So today i am missing her.. Her birthday was a couple of days ago, and i know some of you will remember my post about her last year...But my grandpa came for dinner today and all i can say is that he is amazing.. I can't imagine losing my sweetheart at such a young age...She was so gentle, so loving and so tenderhearted...I want to strive to be more like her. I feel like life is too short to focus on the negative things, that is why i have been thinking so much about her. She just lived life to the fullest.. I guess i always feel bad for my grandpa around this time of year, but i know she is near, that is what helps me when i feel this way. A couple of days ago i had to go to the er..i thought i had a kidney stone...but i didn't. but i while laid there waiting to find out what the heck my problem was, she came to my mind...and how she must of felt to find out she had cancer...go to through radiation, and not have it be successful...and also being reminded of her withering body, and watching her body slowly fail her.. My everyday trials seem so minimal to what i have seen others go through...or still are going through. So today i missed her, and i have a thought of her throughout the holidays....

SANTA is back in Business

Yep it is that time of year everyone.....Christmas is right around the corner..and if you are looking for a GREAT santa to come to your party, let me know...I DEFINATELY know a good one....well I might actually be married to one...He loves doing it, and it is just a fun way to have SANTA even come visit and tell them they if they are not good, he won't come back on Christmas eve...it has worked in the past, so let me know if you are interested....

Studio 111, YOU ROCK.....

Some of these pictures may fool you...he look so sweet in them, but man oh man he sure knows how to work over his mom and dad.....hahahah...Just Kidding.. He is a really good little boy. I have a good friend that i met from work that took these and she did an amazing job....I just keep looking at these going, " Wow little Boss man is already 2 1/2, Where does the time go?" He did a really good job that day getting his pictures....when we got home I said to him, "Boston thanks for being such a good boy today you did so good getting your pictures done, I love you so much," and as soon as I leaned over to give him a kiss, he said "I love you too, now where my new train set." Yep, he thinks he needs something new from the grocery store everyday....and to make matters worse, every commerical that comes on in the morning has so many new toys all the time, and he'll yell really loud and say I want that mom, I want that....even if it is my little pony set.....crazy kid....but i love him SO much...

ARIZONA.....i miss you already

This is the Arizona Flag...this post is a good idea of what i did while i was there...I had my camera but did not have batteries for it and the little disk...duh, im such a moron...but i had the BEST time there.........The weather was perfect. I loved being there...This is mostly for me to remember the fun trip.... This is who i went to see...ABBY. She is one of the most amazing people you will ever meet...She is so considerate, and pure FUN...we laugh, laugh, laughed the whole time....We were never companions on the mission, but we should have been...

We went and saw this movie...My One and Only..it is kinda a indy film, but if you have the chance I highly recommend it...Renee Zellwiger did a great job..

One day we went the Scottsdell Mall...It is amazing..Could thing im poor, because i could have spent alot of money there...and i mean ALOT.....

This is the Chandler Mall...also great stores. We went there three times...not once, not twice, but three times...count them.

This is the reason we went back three times...its not like we don't have a nordies at home, but while i was there Abby convinced me I needed a new BRA...and PS i love it...

Also we went to Anthropology, twice....i got a shirt orginally, but hated it on, so i settled for this below...the cute new hair accessory...out of everything in the store, this.....im crazy but i loved it.and it is perfect for winter...

We ate ate ate and ate some more..here is a few places we went.....so yummy.......all of them. And the Neilsens....WOW what can i say, we also went there twice.....

This was the best pizza place ever....They have such good stuff there...man we miss out on alot here, and it only seems like we get new restraunts after like two years that they have been somewhere else already....

I seriously came back cold...to cold weather that is...I love you Abby!!!!! THanks for such a fun time...it was the perfect getaway..and i totally needed it. I also was excited to Jill and Joel, and Jessica.....so fun

Summe Fun part 2...well overdue

A few weeks ago we headed up to Park City for the day....IT was slammed...there were so many people up there...We wanted to ride the new coaster they have, but Boston isn't quite old enough.. so we went down the slide...he loved it...here he is waiting in line...it was hot so he got a snowie for waiting so patiently..

He thought he was so big doing it by himself....he was mad he didn't really get to do it by himself when we got up there

My boys are cute Right? I love this picture of them.

This was at the Zoo..i was so bummed, my camera had something on the lens so all the pictures were blurry.But we had so much fun there with some of my mission friends and there kids.....

This is kind of a random shot, but my dad rides his bike everyday so when he is in the garage getting ready, Boss loves to pretend he is going too....This is my helmet, but my Dad just got him his own and he LOVES it.

A few weeks ago also we went and hiked to Timp Cave...It was so much fun...This is a picture of my Grandpa will all the kids....It was so pretty up there...

Boss just Hanging out on the Rock...He had it easy going up..I carried him on my back the whole time.....

Also these pictures are well overdue, but this was at James and Annalees Baby Blessing for JJ..He is so sweet...This is us just all hanging out at the park..it was a neat day.

Boss LOVED the cake..he also loves his cousins..he had a fun day....

And this is JJ...so sweet...he was a perfect gem through the blessing...so excited for another one for these guys... I can't wait for another one like this......Im not announcing anything by the way, just hoping for another one SOON......
