The Ring

This is my wedding ring. I unfortunately never get to wear it. It is an invisible setting and the diamonds tend to fall out, a lot! I love it though. I think it is beautiful! I am working on fixing a ring from my Great Great Grandmother to replace my wedding ring. It will cost a lot but I think it will be perfect for me. I will have to post it when it is done.

Pool Time!

Nathan wants to play with Olio!! I am
spending yet another Saturday by myself!
I am tired of it. I need something to do!

The Goofballs

Here they are, the cutest little kids in the whole wide world. I don't have a picture of Max. He was sleeping a lot. These were taken in Amanda's back yard. I can't get over how well they all played together. Kids are great that way. They just have a good time. Nothing else matters. I had a really great time while I was out there. I miss seeing everyone. I would love to move there someday. It all comes down to the mighty dollar. I hate money. Of course if I had money I bet I would love it. I think that is why I don't have very much of it. I think I would have a hard time being responsible with it. We are comfortable though, and are always taken care of. Amazing isn't it? No matter what there will always be a way for your family to make it through. Sorry I will stop now. Enjoy the pictures!

Swing Time!

This was the first night in Utah. The kids were really happy to get out of the van. They did really great. Nora is in the swing here in The Mata's back yard. It was her first time. She really liked it. I will have to get her one for at home. I will post a few more pictures from Utah. I don't have very many. I used Amada's camera more than mine. You will have to pester her for more pictures.

The Big 5 Tag

10 Years Ago: I was still in high school. I hated high school, those were not good times.

5 Years Ago: I was living in an apartment with Amanda in Dubuque, Iowa. Working at my Mom's restaurant, and I was the Young Single Adult Rep. for our ward. That was one of my favorite callings, I don't think I can have that one again!

5 Months Ago: I was basically where I am now, I was missing my siblings a little more and wishing they could come back for Christmas.

5 Things on my To Do list today: Finish packing, everyone needs a bath, laundry, clean the house, and write a love note to my hubby.

5 Snacks I enjoy: Cookies, Almond Joy ice cream, Chips & Salsa, Chocolate Fiber One bars and those boneless buffalo wings from Sams made into a snack wrap (very bad for you, do not try this a home)

5 Things I would do if I were suddenly a billionaire: Pay off my families debts, finish remodling our house and sell it, move to Utah, Open a tasteful lingerie store, pay someone to do my dishes!

5 of my Bad Habits: Biting my nails, giving empty threats to Nathan, urging my husband to overspend, eating naughty food, fighting with my mother.

5 Places I have lived: Iowa, Texas, Florida, Utah I don't think I have a fifth.

5 Things people may not know about me: I have no sense of direction. I am finished having children. I would be open to being a serrogant. I work out on a stability ball, some times. I hate meatloaf, the food not the guy, he is so sexy!

Leaving Today

So we are leaving for Utah today. We as in myself and the children. My hubby has to stay and work :( We were talking about things last night and I realized how much I am going to miss him. How much I love, and need him. Every time I have to leave him I get worried. I am always just sure that he is going to die while I am gone. Not a really unwarranted fear with his illness. Still I know that things will be fine. I made him three meals to eat and a batch of cookies. He is set for a week and a half of single life! Families are amazing, do all you can to keep yours healthy and happy. It is the most important thing you can do.
