2010-12-08T12:16:00.000-08:00

This year is me and Eric's 4th Christmas together, but this year is the first year we've had a tree of our own. We did a blue and silver theme. I'll have to get some pictures when it's dark out so you can see it better.

I got bored and decided to try using paint to draw Odie. Tell me What ya think!!

My goofy dog...

2010-10-01T12:17:00.000-07:00

I believe Odie thinks he is a cat, he has a perch on the back on the couch where he sleeps, looks out the window and barks a passers by. He is my dork dog!

Woops!!

Wow I'm terrible at this blogging thing... Too much time had passed by to tell everything that's happend. So I'll just sumerize. Eric was working at a lawnmower factory the first part of this year. When he found out that the factory was being shut down he took an oprotunity to work millright, which is building legs and spouts to grain bins and alot of other stuff to go with it that I don't completly understand. I started working at Wal-mart in the garden center and have REALLY enjoyed it!!! Memorial day we went on vacation to Johnson Lake and had ALOT of fun!!

There are also more perks of working in the garden center. I spent alot of time outside and get to see the beautiful stuff out of doors.

I've also met a few new friends, we have lots good times!!

Bummin' in Nebraska

2009-04-03T20:10:00.000-07:00

So we've been in Nebraska for a couple of weeks now, and we've been doing alot of 4-wheeling and fishing. I haven't taken many pictures I actually just used my camera phone for the ones here. This is on a HUGE sand bar on the river... Eric was in heaven riding on this.

Leaving Indiana

2009-03-12T20:32:00.000-07:00

Eric's job here Indiana has come to an end and we'll be leaving soon!! It was a nice to visit a new place but I'm glad we're goin home!! I'm so exited!! We'll be staying in Utah for a week or so for Easter!!!

Courtney's Naughty Party!!

2009-02-27T12:28:00.000-08:00

So here are pictures from Courtney's Bachelorette party!!

Birthday fun!!

2009-02-12T11:47:00.000-08:00

So my birthday was awesome!! Eric got work off due to the bad weather so he took me to breakfast then Mauries' to go shopping!! It was fantastic!! That night Eric took my to dinner at a nice restaurant called The Fiddlers Three, where I got to show off some of my new clothes and got the most deliciouse steak EVER!! It'd called steak Au Poivre, and it's heaven.

New hair do!

2009-02-08T08:58:00.000-08:00

I got my hair done, so I'm posting some pics to show everyone.

On to Indiana!

2009-02-06T05:43:00.000-08:00

After I got back to Nebraska, we only stayed there about a week, in which we had our Christmas celibration, which was small, but very nice, but Eric had to return to work so only three days after Christmas we loaded up the truck and headed for Shelbyville, In. So here I am now, adjusting to life here, I miss family, but it has been neat to experiance new places. I volunteer at the local animal shelter, what could be more perfect for me? I enjoy it SOOOO much!!

I got to name the red and white one to the right, he's Odie!

Playtime in Utah!

2009-02-06T04:27:00.000-08:00

So I was SOOO excited about going to visit my family, although it was really hard to say goodbye to Eric!! But I would get to spend about three months in Utah and play!!! The bus pulled up to the greyhound station and not too long after that, a blaze orange mustang came to retrieve me. I was exhausted to tears!! I don't think there was anything that I wouldn't have cried about at that point, I was tired, I hadn't had anything to eat since I got on the bus, and I'd just had to leave Eric knowing I wouldn't see him for three months. Needless to say I was a little emotional, but once I made it home and I got to see everyone (and got a much needed shower), I began to relax, mom fixed some tastey dinner, and yet another shocking suprise was discosed. It seemed there would be alot less carefree playtime than I had expected, since we were to plan a wedding... Courtney had gotten engaged. Alot of my time in Utah was spent doing wedding stuff, even though I HATE planning weddings, I had alot of fun with it, I got to spend alot of time with family, and I got to watch Tianna and Aden, with was SOOOOO much FUN!!! Those two are too cute alone and they're even cuter together!! I had a ball!! I also got into going running with mom, which helped in my loosing 20 lbs while I was there!! We'd go running out by some llamas, mom didn't even notice them until I told her they were chasing her along the fence line. I was so excited that I got to spend Thanksgiving with my family!! I ran the turkey trot with mom, Grandma Lake, Uncle Dale, Aunte Rachel, Uncle Warren, and Aunt Sheryl, and I didn't finish last!! It was so good to see all the family!! The couple weeks after Thanksgiving were CRAZY!! We kicked the planning for Courtney's wedding into high gear and that's pretty much what consumed my remaining time. Everything turned out beautiful!! I had a plane ticket back to Nebraska the week after Courtney's wedding, the day of her open house in Taylorsville, with the weather as it was, my flight was delayed so much I had to reschedual for the next day, so I got one more night with mom, Monica and Courtney. It was SOOOO hard to leave, I had gotten into a routine, and it was just as if I had never left, or been away, I fit back in so easily. But I did miss Eric ALOT, and I wanted to see him, so the next day I got on the plane riding first class (one of the pirks of reschedualing) to Chicogo then I switched planes to go to Lincoln, NE, which, unfortunatly, I didn't get first class. When I landed I was so eager to see Eric I had a hard time waiting for the stupid seatbelt light to turn off, and once the door was open, I was outta there. When I saw Eric waiting for me, I relaxed instantly. I missed him so much, and even though I hated to leave, it was worth it.

I got to see my baby, and he loves tummy rubs!

Wow, long time, no post!!

2009-02-05T12:25:00.000-08:00

So it has been a LONG time since I posted and I have alot to post about! I think though I'll do individual posts for every big event and this will be the first one.
So me and Eric packed up everything into a u-haul and headed for Nebraska!! Talk about a major pain in the butt!!! We acumulated quite a bit of stuff in the year and a half we were there, and packing it all up was not fun, neither was leaving my FANTASITIC job. My friend (and coworker) Katie made me a cake, it was sooo sweet of her!! We stayed in Nebraska for a couple weeks before returning to Rock Springs to get Eric's other truck. After a couple of days there we went to visit my family in Utah, we had a GREAT time!! I took Eric to a few of the places of intrest in Emery County including the Rochester Panel. My dad took us calling elk and Eric got to ride a horse for the first time and he greatly enjoyed it!! I wish we would have gotten pictures! The next day we headed back to Rock Springs and then onto Nebraska again. After not too long Eric got a phone call about a job in Indiana... and he had to be there that Monday to get it. It being Thursday that gave us very little time to make arrangments. We decided it would probably be best if I stayed with my parents for a while until more perminent arrangments could be made. So I bought a bus ticket and was on the bus the next day. 2o hours on a bus....I admire anyone who can endure any more than that cause I certainly could't and I can't say that I would do it again.

Leaving the Rock

2008-08-27T10:13:00.000-07:00

Well, I'm not quite sure how to say this, stuff happens, and now it seems we're leaving the Rock Springs, made bitter sweet by the WONDERFUL job that I just had to give my two weeks notice. The people there were the first to make me feel welcome in this town....Truely GREAT people!!! I'll miss them very much, and I'll miss the awesome job. For now we're gonna head to Nebraska, until we find out where the next job will be soon I hope, but I'll let you know when I find anything out.

Two Bands

2008-08-01T20:01:00.000-07:00

This week in Rock Springs we are having the BIG SHOW, a huge county fair. For fair entertainment they booked 4 bands, Switchfoot, Joe Dee Mesina, Puddle of Mudd, and John Michael Montgomery. So far Joe Dee and Puddle of Mudd have stayed with us at the hotel, I said hi to Joe Dee in the loby as she walked by. One of her associates promised us (the ladies at the front desk) an autographed picture...which he never got for us...BUMMER! Then Puddle of Mudd spent the night and they are jerks! At least some of them were, a couple of them were nice but that wasn't really enough to make up for the rest of them.

Work, Work, and more Work!!

2008-07-19T20:35:00.000-07:00

There's not much else going on in my life, other that work. Whenever Eric has a day off I work, and when I have a day off Eric works. So this is the endless cycle that we're stuck in.

Holiday Inn

2008-07-01T14:10:00.000-07:00

I resently got a job at the Rock Srpings Holiday Inn and I LOVE it!! I get to meet and talk to people from all over the world. This past week we had Bret Michaels' band stay with us. One of My coworker working that morning got free backstage passes and ended up on stage with the band... sucky day for me to start night shift.

Rock Springs....

2008-07-01T11:59:00.000-07:00

So I' ve lived out here in this, for lack of a better word, area for about a year and a half and I can't wait to leave. Too bad that won't be for a while, but I'm gonna make the best of it and make some money while I'm here. The only reason I stay here, Eric, is doing the same. Me and Eric have been together for a little over a year now, and we're doing very well together. We have a few past times that make our stay here bareable. 4-Wheeling is one of Eric's favorites, I love it too, but Eric especialy does since he got his new quad, a TRX 700xx. We also enjoy going out shooting.
