My Husband.

2012-02-08T14:10:00.000-08:00

Can I just say that I absolutely l-o-v-e love my husband! I sit at work and listen to these women gripe and complain and talk so crude about their spouses or even their significant other or what not. It breaks my heart. It makes me so sad to think that they have to belittle their spouse or the sig. other. Seriously!?! Half these women are not married. Just living with their 'man'. Ah.. it just makes me incredibly sad and yet incredibly happy at the same time to know that I have a man who is a worthy priesthood holder, who provides for our little family. Who desires to serve his Father in Heaven. And in that desire, chose me to be his eternal companion with him as we endure to the end. I am so grateful for him and his righteous desire to be better everyday. I love that I have nothing negative or belittling to say about him, I hope that by always saying something that I love about him or something he does to make me smile around these women that I can be an example to them. That they can quit bashing their significant others and enjoy and love the person who they are with. For some, all they have is the thought that one day they can grow old with somebody. Enjoy your valentine ladies and gents. Be grateful to have this amazing person in your life. :)

cha cha cha cha changes.....

2012-01-27T08:19:00.000-08:00

January, January... Do you ever end??????? Seriously! This is the month that feels like it will never end! But, it ends next tuesday. FINALLY! I don't know why I don't like this month, but I don't. Never have and probably never will.

Anyways, that was my rant on January. I will say with this new year I am looking forward to the changes that will happen this year! A house? hopefully. A baby? oh man we hope so :) We definitely want some changes! The hard thing is though, these changes can't happen right away! The waiting game is the hard part. And if you ask Clayton, I am not a very patient person :) haha. But, we have faith in our heavenly father that he knows what is best for us. And that is all we need.

2011 With The Spencer's.....

2012-01-02T10:35:00.000-08:00

Another year has come and gone. Where does the time go!? 2011 - you where great. 2012 - bring it on!!!! Here is a quick re-cap since we last met. ( I'm bad at blogging, I know. )

September brought us to our one year anniversary! I can't believe we have been married over a year! It seems like we just gotten married :) We are having so much fun being married and doing the will of our Father in Heaven. We are blessed. ;)

October - Eh.. nothing to much going on there! I went down to Arizona at the end of october to be with loved ones through their hard time and gained a better testimony of the power of prayer. Our family is one special family!

November - Dun , Dun, Dun... Tannis recieved her 'big girl" calling - First Counselor in the Relief Society.... yowza! I was not expecting that one! But, I am super excited with this calling and the chance to get to know the sisteres in our ward better and to help them :) We also had 2 Thanksgiving's this year! Twas so delicious! We had thanksgiving with my family and with clayton's family. so nice to be with our families.. Love them!

December - What a busy month it was! Between work and church we have been so busy this month! We got to have Christmas with the siblings at jayson's house on the ranch. It had been over 4 years since we had all been together. It was so fun! And clayton finally got to meet my older brother Shaun and his wife Daniela and their kids.

I started to have a bit of a blue Christmas for a while because I really thought that we would have had/or having a baby by now :( but, we look with hope towards 2012 and faith in our Heavenly Father and his time. It definitely isn't easy and it is most definitely hard. I'm so grateful for Clayton and his unwavering faith and his ability to reassure me when month after month no baby came. He is such a good man. A worthy priesthood holder, and my best friend.

So, 2011 thank you. 2012 - We look forward with a "brightness of Hope..."

That's right folks, I am now married to a college grad! So, so, SO glad that school is done! I am so proud of clayton and for his hard work and dedication to his school. It payed off too. Clayton recieved the Magnum Cum Laude award! Pretty sweet! It was a fantastic day all and all. My parents and clayton's mom and his siblings all came out to celebrate with us! Afterwards we all headed to cracker barrel for some grub! Thanks to clayton's brother aron!! He payed for our meal! We can't be more excited for the next steps in life! We are planning on building a house here with in the years and hopefully a bebe will come along soon!! :) we love our life, we are so blessed. Our father in heaven truly loves us!

Shampoo, rinse, repeat.

2011-06-02T19:34:00.000-07:00

If you are curious as to the title of this blog - that basically sums up our life for the past nine months!!! hahahaha. Seriously though, this has been our life (not complaining by no means!) Tannis - work, come home, work, come home, work, come home... Clayton - work. school. home. work. school. home. That's basically it! I was shampooing my hair the other day and for some reason I always look at the directions. I have too, reassure's me that I am doing something right. ha. But anyway if you look at it it goes Directions: shampoo, rinse, repeat. And I thought to my self,hmmm that is pretty much clayton and I's life right now and I chuckled to my self and went on with my bidness.. But We love our life. Its a quiet life for now (not for long i hope!) and its our life and we love it. In December we had our well technically it was our second christmas together because christmas of 2009 we went walking on ice... but it was our first christmas married and it was fantastic :) january - we celebrated our one year anniversary from when we started dating. cuh razy!! february we were in another accident!! seriously!?!?! I have never been in any kind of accident until i started dating Clayton... Just saying :) It was minor and no injuries to our bodies but our poor little subaru suffered badly. But thank goodness for the other person's insurance and my awesome father in law (who just happens to be a mechanic) and in april our subaru was fixed! April - nada. haha May- ETHAN CAME HOME!!!! basically the highlight of the month! It is so amazing how much he as grown and how he has the same sense of humor! i love it! It was a little intersting though, when ethan left, I was just separated and when He came home i was married to someone else... It is interesting how life changes. I definately didn't see that in my cards! ha. Now it is june, but it is only the second so far so good! In july Clayton graduates!!!!!! About dang time!!! His graduation is july 28.. And it can't come soon enough! We are ready for a pay increase and a break on the freakin prices of gas! its not easy when he has to go in to alb mon-fri and get gas mon-fri.. ouch.. But we are very grateful that he is was able to go to school! I forgot march in there, obviously nothing too important happened... hahaha

um nine months tannis.... really?

2010-11-26T18:23:00.000-08:00

Well as I was looking at other peoples blogs and looking at their friends list.. I saw my name... and underneath that was that horrilbe number... nine. Nine freakin months. I'm lame. sorry. So to recap a little...

Lets see... in March, Clayton and I decided that we wanted to be together forever :) he proposed at of course i said yes!! It was very romantic too! We also went to a lobo game for clayton's birthday... it was very fun. His girlfriend had the best idea. haha.

April- uh yeah. not so fun. Started out great. We were newly engaged at headed with our YSA group to Utah for general conference. Was AMAZING! So we came home feeling fresh, excited, and ready to start planning. Well On april fifteenth, tax day i know... Clayton had been wanting to take me on a motorcycle ride.. so finally the 15th sounded good to us. So after work I head out to bluewater and clayton has the bike all ready to go and helmets for us.. Well... the big noggin that I have didn't fit for the helmet so we decided to go without (DUMB) we know. So we go for a nice ride around bluewater village... then decided to head to the lake and check it out... yikes. We take the old highway (which was under construction.. more dangerous) and exit on the bluewater state park exit.. and start heading down the canyon... We enjoying life and the weather and start going around the steep turns.. We go around the first one no problem.. go around the second just fine.. Then we hit the third one... and its down hill so the bike starts accelerating and we hit the turn too fast and hit the gravel too fast and before i know it i'm flying off the bike and tumble for about ten feet. Somehow in that tumble i remembered to protect my head.. As soon as I stop tumbling my thoughts immediately turn to clayton... i run back up to check on him and i see him laying there... having a seizure... (scared out of my mind) so i wait till he's done it was only a minute or so but felt like 5 hours.. and have him focus on me while i dial 9-1-1. And at first it didn't go through because there was no reception.. but then the emergency mode kicked in and i got through to them.. By that time, some people had pulled up behind us and they were on the line with 911 also, so I sat by clayton talking to him... were both banged up and bloody... and clayton is bleeding from his head.. and he's repeating the same questions every thirty seconds... man i was terrified.. so the ambulence and the cops show up and get clayton on a stretcher and they are asking me questions and they load us up into the ambulnce. I cannot leave claytons side because he would start to freak out if he couldn't see me. He still doesn't know what is going on... we get to the hospital and my parents and his family are already there waiting for us. They take clatyon right away and have me follow by his side... it was hectic from there... So there i sat by his side while they to tests on him and what not.. At this point they told us that he had a bleed in his brain, and that they were thinkin that his orbital bone, and his zygomatic arch (cheeck bone) had shattered into his sinus' and that he needed to get out of here right away to a trauma center. They had called albuquerque and they didn't have any beds available and UNM so they decide to air lift him to The St. Joseph's trauma Center in Phoenix... alright. Clayton was doing a little better (thanks to the priesthood blessing he was given) But still needed me by his side so I flew with him to phoenix... they just threw some gauze on my cuts and what not and off we went. I could still hear him ask the gal in the plane.. where's tannis? is she ok? And they would tell him yes she is.. she's up front with the pilot. So we get to the other hospital and they whisp him away without a blink. Lucky for us though. we Had my sister Tanya, my brother Jayson and clayton's cousin Jodi meet us at the hospital. We waited and waited until they let us see him. When we saw him.. they had cleaned him up and were getting ready to take him to his room in the neuro icu. So we go up there and they get him comfortable and they only allow one person with him at night so i slept on the couch right beside him.. they did neuro checks during the night and by then 5am came around and his mom my mom and his sister show up. So I gave them the scoop and by then those bones that were shattered were now just perfectly in place fractures... and his bleed in his brain had gone away... and he was put on a soft diet for a couple of weeks... It was truly the power of that blessing that our injuries were not worse. All the doctors were astonished that we walked away from this accident... It should have severely injured us or worse. We are so grateful for our Heavenly father and his plan for us. He definately has more instore for us on this earth! So that pretty much somnes up april and may. May was just recovery time.

June- Still waiting to set a date for our sealing. Had to turn in papers and what not.

July- Got promoted to ward secretary/inventory clerk. PRetty exciting.

August-Clayton gets a sweet job deal with Air Pro's. They are sending him to heating and cooling HVAC school and working part time with them in the mean time.

September-Wedding TIme! just making preparations for the upcoming wedding :). We were married and sealed on Sept. 18 In the Albuquerque Temple. What a beautiful day that was! Words can't describe the feelings we felt that day. Truly a blessing for us to be sealed and have a forever family!

October- Ain't no thang.. just working for us and school for clayton

November- Same as above just add Thanksgiving into that :) we are so blessed and are enjoying the married life!

I hope that gives you all a good update!

buggin.

2009-12-05T11:26:00.000-08:00

i'm a little bugged right now. I'm bugged that my memory can be cruel sometimes. I'm bugged that I'm not into Christmas. Its my second favorite holiday and I can't enjoy it. I'm bugged that everytime I go to the beautiful Albuquerque Temple I'm flooded of memories from that october day. I'm bugged that there are people out there who can really be heartless!............ I'm just bugged. I'm bugged that all this bugs me! I wish I can just nip this in the butt. It really bugs me that I still get emotional about my life sometimes. I need to move!!! Utah can't come soon enough....that's all i got. Thanks for listening.

the divorce diet.

2009-11-19T18:07:00.000-08:00

Yes. That is me. a whole 50 lbs lighter! What do I owe it to you may ask? Well I'll tell you. The divorce diet! What is this diet you wonder? Step one : cut out negative thoughts. Step two: increase spiritual experiences. Step three: make sure divorce papers are finalized. Step four: incorporate heaping amounts of moving on. Step five: work you bum off. Step six: dig out your old skinny jeans. and Realize you found yourself once again! :) Step seven: Count your blessings not calories! That is it.

Now, next bit of news. I have decided to change my location. Where? I'll tell ya

Yes! Utah my friends! I am so ready for a change and to start my life over on my own :) I am hoping to move by the beginning of next year! What will I do there. Work.. for now! I am super duper excited. Probably be going to the salt lake ish area! So utah, ready or not here I come!

Work is going good. Working me lots. but it makes for good paychecks so there you go. Other than that.. nothing new! Hope ya'll have a great thanksgiving!

yikes october.. where did you go!

2009-11-01T17:23:00.000-08:00

Well hello all! It surely has been a while! October just came and went!

Well what is new for me you ask? A whole lot of nothing I reply! Work is going pretty good. Its not my favorite place to work, but I am very grateful that i have a job in these tough times! so here is my recap of october.

Here we go.

I got to go visit my sister and her kiddo's in the beggining! They are getting so stinkin cute! I wish i lived closer to them. And tanya we had so much fun being girls!! We did her hair, bought loads of hair crap because every girl needs hair stuff. Plain and simple. Then I came back home and worked worked worked. Then, My super fun friends in flagstaff have wanted me to come up for a while and I finally got days off and went up to see them! Ah I haven't seen mary lynne and lela yikes since a long time! So i went up there for the weekend and had so much fun! Min min and I pretty much have a lot in common! Its a little freaky but its so fun! And lela! Congrats girl on getting engaged! It was way fun to give out wedding ideas and what not. For halloween jorge and I went to the burque and went to a corn maze! It was so fun! Then after that we went to red robin and then headed to the mall to people watch until it was time to go see a movie. FYI paranormal activity is probably the scariest movie on earth! I closed my eyes just about thru the whole thing. But the day was still fun!

As for other things. This month was a hard month too. It would have been my 2 year anniversary on the 27th and it was his birthday on the 31st. yikes. It was hard but I do not for one minute regret my deciscion. But I am grateful for this experience because it has really helped me to become closer to my savior, and really understand the Atonement and its purpose in my life. It has also helped me to truly realize that I am a beloved daughter of my Heavenly father! and That I need to treat my self as one and also that I desrved to be treated like one! I love that I have that knowledge! I also am very grateful that I can attend the temple! It has helped me thru this so much! It was the best counsel that a bishop could have given me! So, I can truly tell you all that I am happy! I didn't think that I could get there but I did! I'm not saying that I am totally over it because no, I'm not. it will take a while. But Its time to let go. And I think today i finally did it when I bore my testimony in church. I am still standing. I am not broken anymore. I am A beloved daughter of my Heavenly Father who loves me! And I know that one day I will re marry and It will be with the right person and he will love me for who I am and truly cherish me and I can and will again fully give my heart to someone!

So october, thanks for coming and see you next year! haha. Hope you all had a great october too!

Oh and I have more pictures to put up. But this thing is being gay. so picture lata!

And for Dessert I'll Have Pie!

2009-09-07T21:43:00.000-07:00

Its been a while so I suppose I willl update first before I get to the tasty apple pie! Well, I am a single lady. eek. I don't really like being single, its lonely. I lay in my bed and sometimes cry because i'm lonley. My bed is lonely - I hate it. But, I would rather it be this way than live the life I was living. The divorce was finalized the 25 of August. My mom, April and her kiddo's and my friend Sheena went down to safford monday, and met up with my sister Tanya and the hotel. It was nice to have the support of my friends and family. At the hotel I had a great time with my mom and sista! We joked around and just had a good time. I wasn't too nervous that night, and I slept like a rock, I owe that all do my dad and Heavenly Father. Before we left my dad gave me a special blessing of peace, a clear mind, comfort and calm nerves. I got all of the above that day. I'm so grateful do have my dad who is a worthy Priesthood holder. Ok, So the day arrives and we have to be at the courthouse and 8 am. early I know but it was either that or wait until september. No thanks. So we get ready and I'm getting nervous. But when we get there, I am calm as a summers morning! The judge was very tender and nice. Funny story - His mom is aprils great aunt I believe and my grandma's best friend! Small world eh? And the judge was my mom's very good friend in high school! It was very nice to have him as my judge. It all went smoothly. Very sad to hear some of the questions that he asks, I even choked up answering them but I made it thru. Everything got signed and finalized. After that I just went numb. I didn't talk, I didn't cry. Freaked out my mom and such, and didn't talk the whole way home. We get home, and I just get sick that night! I didn't get any sleep, my stomach was just unsettled the whole night. That morning I threw up like 5 times. I think that my body just shut down from it all. It was just releasing it all. Towards the afternoon after I had talked to my mom, I instantly felt better. As I look back on it, Had I known what he was doing, I would never had married him. I loved him. I miss the good things of being married ( the little of it I experienced). I'm very angry that I am single again. I don't feel that I belong in the young single adult program - I' ve already gone through that. I've been married. I hate lessons on preparing to go to the temple, I've done that. I don't feel like I belong in relief society either. I hate lessons on strengthening eternal marriages. I feel that people are going to classify me as a young single adult that hasn't been married yet. But i have! They need like a divorced ward. Were your not classified as a young adult who doesn't know about marriage, and your not in classes where you are preparing to get married. It sucks. I am just having a hard time adjusting. I just don't know where I belong right now. I"m 21 and divorced. that's All i know so far, adn that I had my heart broken by someone I gave my whole heart too. Which leads me to my apple pie. If a man won't love my this apple pie sure will!
Its september and I am so ready for this fall season! This summer was hard and don't want it to stay any longer. I love fall! I love the leaves changing! I love harvesting all the garden goodies! I love picking apples off our neighbors apple tree! My dad went over and got some apples and I decided that I wanted to make an apple pie from scratch. and I decided that It had to have the lattice top! I love those! So my mom and I went to wal mart, got myself a pretty pie dish from the paula dean collection ( love it by the way) and we came home and had some fun! It turned out so delicious and was pretty easy to make!
Work is going, This past 5 days i worked! It kicked my but. But Those old folks melt my heart! I got to bead with an old lady and she made me a bead necklace for my badge! I love it. It was so sweet. I'm still lookin for a different job so if ya hear of anything let me know.
This is a very long post and I apologize, but this is what is going on in my life. enjoy.

Weekend with Ezra!

2009-09-07T21:01:00.000-07:00

A few weekends ago, My mumsy and I decided that we needed some Ezra time, and some Ezra time did we get! We met Tanya, Devin, Ezra and Rylie in good ol' flag for about an hour, had lunch then took off with Ezra! I had so much fun with this little guy! It was just what I needed. I love the picture with Ezra and I at the piano. I was singing and playing songs for him and he would join in and play and sing. he loved it! I had so much fun showing my newphew off to everyone! He's the only little man in my life for now and I like it that way :) I'm already for some more ezra time and need some Rylie time!

The Love Bug.....

2009-08-14T14:33:00.000-07:00

There are many forms of love out there. I have experienced some forms of it. I have expereinced the love from a family, the love from friendship, the love of Christ, I have experienced the Love from my Father in Heaven, I have been in love, been loved by a spouse, and given my love to a spouse, but the love that i want to talk about is compassion love.
I have started my job at the nursing home. It is a very exhausting job, and its most definately hard being the new one on the block. I have always felt a connection to the elderly. I love working with them, I love the stories they share. I love it! When I first started this job I wasn't sure if I liked it. Some of the staff can get really crude, and some aren't very nice. I was even already thinking about other job interview that I could go to because I didn't like it there. But, what changed my mind was this little lady who has the sweetest smile I have ever seen and the most tender spirit I have felt. I tear up just thinking about her. I look forward to going to work just so I can see her smile! It is so worth it working there! I believe that they are all looking for someone to love them and show them love, and I have a lot of love to give! I had given my love to someone but it was rejected. So what better way to use my love right now then to these tender elderly residents! I have so much love to give! And they, need someone there to love them! I may not be the fastest worker, I may be slow at everything, But I am going to spend my time there showing them the love they need, being their friend, and give my all to them. I think that in order for me to heal my heart more, I need to turn my selfishness to love, and give my all to someone else. Its very worth it when you see their smile, or the give you a big hug, or even make you a bead necklace! I love it. And I love them!

All Is Well, All Is Well!

2009-07-26T16:40:00.000-07:00

Well, it has been a while since I last posted, so I though as I sat here on this sunday evening, that I would update!
Well first off, I HAVE A JOB! Finally! I start tomorrow at the Good Samartian Center in Grants, its a 4 Star nursing home and so beautiful! Its amazing inside! The staff is very friendly! Its a christian society so everything is centered around Christ! I love it! Definately some very good missionary opportunities in there! Ah... I am just so excited to finally be working and have a place in life right now..
How are "other" things going you might ask? Pretty smoothly (knock on wood) actually. he didn't contest, so I sent in my application for a default hearing, and it was filed the 15th, so surely on my way to... I don't know divorce, closure.. however you want to put it really. So, whenever I have a day off, I need to call the court house and set a default hearing date and go from there! I am still mending my heart and my soul, some days are better than others, being alone this weekend is very very hard. I am so very lonely, and it definately tells me that I am sooooo not ready to venture out on my own yet. Which is ok, being as I need to save money anyways! I am just glad I have a job now to keep me occupied. and my mind occupied. I'm very sad still, and like I said some days are better than others. Definately not good for me to be all alone right now, I just cry all the time. yikes. I'm such a boob!
Today in church, the Nielson family gave a beautiful and powerful musical number. I felt the spirit so strong as they sang the Hymn Come, Come Ye Saints. WOW! What a talented family! As I was listening to them, I felt such a peace come over me as I heard the words, " All is well, All is well" Ah! I love that! I love that as the pioneers traveled across the plains and left their belongings, loved ones, lives they had, as they were forced out of their homes by angry mobs that they have such faith to press forward, and in their minds saying "all is well, all is well" Amazing, such and example for me as I go through this trial and heartache in my life!
I love the first verse!

"come, come ye saints, no toil nor labor fear, but with joy wend your way.

Though Hard to you, this journey may appear, Grace shall be as your day.

'Tis better far for us to strive Our useless cares from us to drivel;

Do this, and joy your hearts will swell - All is well! All is well!"

Man, I love it! I love this gospel and the knowledge I have that the journey may be rough, but All is well! There is a scripture in D&C 122: 7 and it says at the very end of the verse"...know thou, my son, ( i have put in their tannis) that all these things shall give thee expereince, and shall be for the good." I love it! There is another one that was given to Joseph Smith as he was in liberty jail, Its in D&C 121:7 it goes "My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment." I love these scriptures, it brings be such joy and comfort to know that the Lord is truly mindful of me, and knows my pain and heartache, and I love that i know He loves me! I love that feeling! I don't think I could make it through the day without knowing that I am a beloved daughter of God, and He loves me and I love Him. And that He is mindful of me. It truly is amazing.

This is a long post I know, but I just needed to put this up for myself, and share it will whoever reads this! I know that All is well, All is well! The work must go on! Life will go on! And I am finally starting to see that it is! I am slowly but surely healing one day at a time!

I love this gospel, I love my family, I couldn't go through this without them! I love the friends who have supported me through this! Thank you! I couldn't have done it without them either. Thank you everyone for everything that you do! You have helped me in ways I don't think you would know :)

So, this is my life thus far! I will let ya know how my first day at work goes tomorrow! Wish me luck :)

Love Tannis!

Things I think are lamespice!

2009-07-09T09:02:00.000-07:00

1. Victoria Secret's Pear Lotion!

I wore it when I thought I was dying of the flu,

and never have been able to wear it since then!

2. Having to wait 61 days to get divorced,

when you have no property or children together!

Seriously! why have to wait! have no assets together

so just rip the band aide off!

3. the gift of knowledge is amazing!

and I am so grateful that we are able to

learn and make our knowledge grow!

But what really gets me is when people who

are smart and know it, let you know that they are smarter

than you, seriously, i get it that your smart! geez now leave

me alone!

4. Transformers! man! what is the big deal about!

seriously, a car turns into a robot, big deal!

I never have liked transformers and I won't lie, I think

July!

2009-07-05T17:37:00.000-07:00

Well I hope you all had a happy fourth of july! I sure did! My lovely cousin Sarah flew in to hang out for the weekend! We are having so much fun! I love this girl! I have been house sitting for a friend so we have been staying there, its so fun catching up with her! For the fourth of july, we got read, and headed over to the riverwalk area since they had some booths up and we got some snow cones, delicious! We didn't make it to the parade... it was too early for us :) But after that we headed over to Kory and April Cash's house for a BBQ! IT was so fun! After all our food had settled and what not we decided to all play a game of crochet! It was so fun! Many good memories made there! After that we headed back to the house that I was house sitting and set up a little area up on their wall so we could watch the fireworks! We had the best view! The fireworks were great! I am so grateful to live in a country that is free! Thank you men and women of the military for keeping it this way!

Satan or Simon the kitty?

2009-06-13T11:42:00.000-07:00

Yes, That is the question! Is this really satan or the cuddly housepet named Simon? Well, if one were to ask me this morning or to look at my wound, the answer I would give would be satan!! Not kidding, there I was just minding my own buisness seeing this cute cuddly cat on the floor, when all of a sudden, I was being stalked by the devil! I would try to run to my mom' s room to lock myself in there, but alas! There would be simon right in front of the door. Tried to run down the hall to my room, and again! There was simon, Now, Simon has already taken to jabs at my leg, and won. I called for my mom to come help me, she had to pin simon up against the wall, as I ran down the hall and locked myself in their bedroom! Haha. My mom, still outside with the devil, had to figure out a way to pry him from against stalking the door, and made him go outside. Finally, I heard the coast was clear, so I went out with hesitation, looked out the front door, and there he is, the devil, with pupils dialated just giving me the eye. I was sure scared! Needless to say, DO NOT MESS WITH SIMON BEFORE NOON! I learned the hard way, abut I know someone had to be sarificed in order to figure out the rules with this kitty, Sadly, it had to be my leg!

2009-06-02T17:22:00.000-07:00

Today I got a great walk in with april and my mom! Then I came home and got ready to go to kylie's birthday day in abluquerque. It was fun :) I had a good time with April and her kiddos, Christy and her kids, Kristin and her kids, april's friend amanda, and jana and her kids.. Its kind of fun not having kids because then you get to be all the kids best friend and you get to give them to their mom when your done! We went to fudruckers then on to the movie theatre to see UP. That was a way cute movie! very funny. So I had a good tuesday. I am sore as heck from working out with Bob though, man that guy is tough! But its so worth it! Bob and I will meet again tomorrow! haha. later.

On Saturday night, Kory and April and their kids, myself and the 'rents, and my cousin Tori and her kids decided that we needed to use my parents fire pit to make some yummy smores! And were they ever! We had a great time.. a little cold but that is what a fire is for right? :D Some of us got a little crazy eating the smores.. april... haha but don't worry, I voluntered to lick it off for her. :) It was just was I needed to get my mind of some things.

Blah.

2009-05-30T14:02:00.000-07:00

why am I so tired today? I wish I could take a 3 hour nap like my sister did today. lucky. Maybe I'll buy a topsy turvey tomato planter, just because it looks so inviting. hm... nothing going on today. Asked the man to take my name off the account.. he wasn't too happy 'bout that. Oh well... the life of a girl in marriage limbo. enjoy.
