What's going on?

That is a great question, LOTS!
Isaac came home on June 27th and we stayed the night in OKC. We've missed each other SOOOO much!! So excited to have him home. :-)
I had a job interview on Friday, things look promising, but I won't know more till the end of this week or early next week.
We've been living with some awesome friends and spending lots of time "hanging out," since I don't have a job and Isaac is on casual status until the end of this month.
We visited the Enid animal shelter with the idea that since we don't have a place, we won't be tempted to bring one home. And oh oh oh how we wanted to bring one of them home! Especially since this is a "kill" shelter, meaning if an animal isn't adopted in time... well, you get the picture. This two were our top favs, I was told the black on will be available on the 4th, but I have yet to see a listing. It might be that it's owners came in and claimed her.


This one has been adopted already



Friday we went to one of the best BBQ places in Oklahoma, yum! Along the way Isaac rescued a turtle that was flipped over on it's back on the road.

At the BBQ place, Isaac left his mark: 
That Saturday we went back into OKC for shopping, a movie (Snow White and the Huntsman), and dinner. 
Dinner was a Cheese Cake Factory, yum! Isaac got this awesome Chipottle dinner. 

Oh, while we were out, Isaac got two helicopters, one for him and his friend, Jake. The animals have been terrified. When I finally got to fly the thing, I broke the propeller (really, it wasn't like I was any more rough then the boys, it had just been beat up so much already).

For the past few days Isaac and I (okay, mostly me) have been fretting over what kind of washer and dryer to get. I solicited advice form friends and online reviews. Ugh, what a mess. Isaac wanted something super simple, and small (i.e., cheep). I wanted the top of the line biggest bang for your buck. After going back and forth, and even canceling our original order, we went back to our first choice. Super awesome sale at Lowe's, we got the Samsung HE front load washer and dryer with steam and foam and more bells and whistles then I'm sure we'll (I'll) know that to do with. But, I am happy with my (ahem, "our") decision. Lets face it, I'll be the one doing the laundry the most, so I have to live with this decision. Pictures to come.... and it will probably be a while since they were on back order, hopefully not too long.

Valentine's Day 2020

As a family of four, Valentine's Day celebrations are not the same as they were 10 years ago when I celebrated my first Valentine's Day with the love of my life.  This year was spent with my daughter.  We saw the new Sonic movie, painted pottery and got some cookies at our favorite cookie shop.  Later that night was spent making dinner, and turning in early because well, the hubs and little boy were both miserable while battling off colds and sickness.   I got to thinking, as someone who only grew up decorating for Christmas, are there really all that many people who go big when it comes to other holidays?  I have a cute little banner I put up for each major holiday, but struggle with knowing when to put it up and when to take it down. And how much is too much?  This year I saw cute family dinners with all kinds of decked out decor, and that was the first time it ever occurred to me to have a family valentines dinner.  I wonder what other ways I hav...

Four our honeymoon, Isaac and I took a four day Carnival cruise out of Long Beach, California to Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. The first day we got up super early to drive from Logan, UT aaaaal the way down to Salt Lake City. One of Isaac's old mission companions was having a baby blessing. It was super awesome because after they invited us over to bbq and they also had some Hatian food (Isaac missed it very much) which was actually pretty yummy. The first day we got up super early to drive from Logan, UT aaaaal the way down to Salt Lake City.

In Vegas we decided to spend waaaay too much money at the Hard Rock Cafe (I really wanted to go because I had never eaten t...

Two weeks away and I turn 27 (I don't actually feel that old since my husband just turned 25. And I don't feel like he is actually that old since he is just finishing is last year of undergrad school. And unlike Utah, where a lot of guys serve missions so they graduate school later, being from Arizona I'm used to college graduates being younger. Result? My, what would you call it,  age that I actually feel is around 23 or 24 years. THREE weeks and a couple of days and I will be in ARIZONA!! I'm so ExCiTeD to see my family and friends! Not looking forward to the HOT weather, but it might actually be a nice break from here since it's suppose to be in the 50's by the time we leave. There are some things in Utah that are growing on me. The weather. Weird, right? I can't really figure it out myself. Normally I LOVE the heat, but I've been retaining a lot of body heat lately, so I am loving the cooler weather. Maybe it's because of the RA or the medici...
