Friends & Food

2012-02-08T21:16:00.000-07:00

We have a friend that cooks amazing. I would like you too meet Tekulve Van. We were introduced to him because he made a Spice cake and had to much and it would go to waste so he called us over.

That was the best union ever!! That was the best spice cake i have ever had. He makes amazing things.

It's kinda a long story.

I read allot of Anita Stansfield books about the Character Emily and her new Husband Jess Michael Hamilton ridiculously rich Australian. In the books they are hit with allot of challenges (if they weren't i wouldn't be reading about it.) Any who in the book Emily has an amazing Neighbor that just shows up at her door with out a call. I was having a rough week a few weeks ago and i just finished the last book in the series. I was having a pity party and i cried/prayed for a friend like Penny (Emily's amazing Neighbor) and not even a two days later Tekulve calls Mike to come over.
At first i didn't think that Kulve would become my... i mean our amazing friend... but he quickly has. He is recently single & he lives in the building across from us and he has kids every other weekend. So the weekend he doesn't have them he resides at our house and we enjoy it!! One night Kulve needed some " Kitchen Therapy" as he calls it so he came over to my house to bake... He recently moved so he doesn't have all of his Kitchen stuff and apparently i have had everything in my house to make yummy things!

Like the this... in the sink... you can't really tell but it's Chicken seasoned with pretty much every seasoning under the sun. Wrapped in bacon baked & covered at 375 for i don't remember how long. but it filled my house with the most yummy smells! YUMMY!!! Please excuse the dirty dishes in the sink we were cooking up a storm and i hadn't thought " HM i probably should do those dishes before i snap this picture" I was in the moment, Completely amazed how quick he works in the kitchen it's like I'm in the presence of kitchen man/ scissor hands reaching for this or that. It was amazing.

Then that same night We ( when i say we I pretty much mean him. I just watched in anticipation) made Dr. Pepper Brownies.. those are yummy! He made the brownie mix he made from scratch as well as the frosting. I can't believe how amazing he is at cooking!! It makes me thing gotta get out of cooking the same thing every week. He inspires me to cook better!

the frosting or the thick layer of goodness did burn me but the 1 piece i had was good with sugar free ice cream

There is a bake sale for a family in our ward because there little boy's cancer has come back, and to help with the accruing medical bills we are doing a back sale. I made cookies. Some that were just plan Chocolate Chips & then i made a big batch with white and milk chocolate chips. I feel so proud of my self. I only had 1. I was able to convince Kulve that he should also bake something. I am amazing a pursuing someone into doing righteous things :) So this evening he made Red Velvet Cupcakes with Top secret frosting that all he will say is May or May not contain cream cheese :)

Here is he frosting These yummy frosting. I did learn something amazing. To make your Cakes moist Put a cup of Apple Sauce... that is all he is allowing me to type. So Yummy cupcake's and i cooked for probably the first time in weeks. I made Steak. He did help me season it but i cooked it. Steak and mashed Taters. What a good combination. Kulve was in charged of Desert. So of course "we have to try these bake sale cup cakes, we don't try something and give it up if it ain't good" Kulve him self said that. :)

Don't these look so good! Trust me they were! Yumm to thee OOOOO. Be very jealous of me friend! I have an amazing friend that can cook. And Ladies he is currently single... :)

O another good thing.. Mike has given me a challenge, Do dishes, get a new phone

Yes, Please.

(I have an upgrade this month I'm getting the new Iphone. I'm excited)

I Listened this time

2012-01-09T23:18:00.000-07:00

Every morning before i go to work i say a pray that has become sadly sometimes a feel like i just repeat my self. " watch over me & protect me keep me safe"
When i was much younger barely graduated from high school. Driving probably one of my by far favoriet car's a green 4 door escort that was stick shift. I loved that car it would zoom here and zoom there. it was an awesome car. So One day i needed to go to the bank so i hoped in my car (technically my dad's car) and headed to the bank.
As i am sitting in my car driving down 17th streeth passing all the house listening to the radio a thought came to my mind: turn around. As i keep driving i'm like no i need to get to the bank before it closes. I get to the stop light and once again : turn around. I brush it off and keep going. Not even 10 minuets later I am sitting on the side of road as my favoreit car is probably going to have to get totaled because i was dumb and didn't listen to the promting I got rear ended. should have listened.
Flash Forward to Friday
as i was at work answering my phones nothing to dangerous there right. making my food list cause i needed to go food shopping...

There's a point i promise

I get busy and put my food list some where on my Desk. As the busyness wears off they start sending people home. I am one of them. I pack my stuff up and head home. I work in Lehi and live in Murry so was coming down the other side of the point of the mountian. when i have a thought you forgot your food list. I start to think i can just remember what i had on there. I can recreat the list. Then once again: your food list
I get out of the super super super fast lane and make my way to the next exit. I flip around get my food lis, and head home.
As i get to same point i was when i heard the warning I must come to a complete stop. No one is moving. Everyone is stopped. As i get to the place i would have been if i had stayed on the free way i saw something that made me greatful that i had said my repeated prayer
A car had smashed into the cement divider taking out 3 cars... i could have been those 3 cars.
so thankful for those repeated prayers.

Lights, Friends & Pictures

2011-12-18T11:24:00.000-07:00

One of Mikes YM leader who he adores came up from St. George and we got to go to dinner and see the Lights down at Temple Square. I got to hear some awesome stories of Mike. While planning a trip down to see there family. Great family. Jim was the one that came and gave me a blessing when i was down in California and I went into the hospital back when mike and i just got engaged... any who.. Enjoy the pictures

I love this bush. I don't really know why but there is something bout this bush that just pulls me in... I couldn't stop staring at it. tion

I really want to know how long it takes them to put up all these lights? I wonder if they start in like September or they just have a really big crew and bust it out in a week end? i don't know but they are beautiful and they help my baw Humbug mood.

This Christmas tree should be in my house. I think my Apartment Complex would be so fine with this bright beautiful light shining in everybody's windows :)

This is Jim & Mike. Mike talk about Jim all the time. He was the main reason mike went on a misson. Mike says fear but i think because Jim means alot to him... which now means he means alot ot me because he Made Mike who he is now. Thank you Jim, from the deepest part of my heart.
Thank You

So pretty, almost made me cry.

We are so cute, a little cold but cute none the less.

Baw Humbug

2011-12-07T16:58:00.000-07:00

I don't want to put up my Christmas tree.

I am not in the Christmas mood.

This could be, because of the lack of snow on the ground!

The freaking grass is still practically green... Mike's not to happy about it, but really i have to put up the tree, decorate tree he does help put up the lights; but well to be honest this year he is exempt from that, because his Sciatica is out.

Which brings me to some other news.

Mike's Sciatica is out. So we went to the doctor yesterday. He gets to have an MRI. Depending on what it shows in that IF it's what the doctor says, he will then get to have an epidural which will inject Medicine to the pinched nerve or pinch disk what ever it is

(to be truthfully honest i heard MRI and all i could think of was what the hell can i sell to pay for this, then a few swear words repeated by some Idea's to sell something, even though we have insurance i am Slightly panicking..)

...

if that doesn't work then surgery we go...

I think i am exempt from any kind of "Christmas" mood this year.

Never again.....

2011-11-11T18:39:00.000-07:00

SNOW FINALLY!

2011-11-05T15:54:00.001-06:00

Since I grew up in Idaho. It never fails. It always snows on Halloween or before Thanksgiving.
Since I have been here In Utah. It takes forever to snow. It never feels like Thanksgiving until it snows...
Well I know most people are so "not ready" for this white stuff" but really get over it you live in Utah dude's. Unless you have some amazing power on mother nature chill and get your winter clothes out.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Side note:
Before Halloween the stores were selling Christmas stuff. I always hate it. always have.
i saw this on Face book and i laughed so i thought i would share it with you

Lookie who came to say HI

2011-11-05T15:00:00.000-06:00

In late October Claire came to visit... er i mean my Mom & Tiff came to visit and Claire came to. They came down to do some shopping for Festival of tree's and they also brought me more meat! Yeah! while we were talking i took some picture's of my Claire a bell

Decoration

2011-10-22T15:22:00.000-06:00

So i decorated for Halloween.. it took all my energy to do. well not all my energy. but i made my self do SOME decorations for Halloween. I am usually really good when it comes to decorating. lately I don't want to. i am going to blame that we just moved, and our Spare room's closet is rather filled and i just have had no motivation to UN pack it and find the tub.See this is just one side of the closet. Okay so i dug and dug and dug and by the time i was about to give up because i couldn't find the tub. I did.

I didn't do MUCH actually because by the time i found the dang tub i was done. But i did get a few things. So here is some pictures of what i did get out. I know not allot but o well.

The Wreath my mom made and gave to me. isn't it cute! i think so! i am always excited to hang it up. I wanted to add something else because as i walked around my apartment. I saw allot of people's decorations and wow i felt a little pathetic so i added just a few other things.

I got my tape out. I have had this tape for who knows how long It's about done to be honest. I probably will have to throw it away after this Halloween. it's seen better days.

I Know that's it. that's all you did.. ya nothing to exciting.

BUT IT'S SOMETHING! :)

Saturday's

2011-10-22T14:18:00.000-06:00

    The Saturday's I don't work (most of them) I get to sleep in until the sun from my kitchen window stares me in the eye. I then get to get up lounge around the house until I hope in the shower. Not this morning well I say morning loosely. My Saturday started at 10:30 last night.
    I am laying in bed listening to some stranger on YouTube get a very relaxing head massage (don't judge me it's really relaxing) while mike has been asleep for a half an hour already. All of a sudden my smoke alarm goes off scary bleep bleeeeep bleeeeeeeeeeeep noise. I jump out of bed run to the living room and flip on every light (there is 3 the hall light,kitchen, and dinning room light.) I see no smoke no sign of worry so go back to bed (keep in mind I think I heard mike stop snoring as I frantically see if we have to grab stuff and run out).

      So getting comfy more relaxing head massage going on. I think I actually fell asleep because when bleeeeeeeep bleeeeeeeeeeep bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep went off again it was 11:30.

Repeat paragraph above.

     I was tired annoyed. I took the alarm apart to see if a batter was the problem causing me the no sleep. Shocking surprise there is no battery In the alarm. This time a decided to include the snoring bear who for the moment I think he is awake. I say "Mike there isn't a battery" he says call maintenance. Ugh. At 11:30 i google "why is my smoke alarm going off for no reason" Google Came up with some good response One of which fit my situation
"if it's hard wired to the wall and there is no battery then it needs to be replaced."
Awesome i thought. So i call the maintenance guys and i get voice message " if this regarding a Flood,Fire Or your life is in danger please hang up and call 911" uh.. okay so it's not really a life in danger situation so i am not going to call 911. It's not really a flood nor Fire... So i will just turn on my fan in the living room and pray it doesn't go off again to night. So i risked going back to bed this time....

I hope it doesn't do this any more cause I'm tired.

Blargh

I have a poem for you. Please read this awesome poem i worked all night on it for you! I hope you enjoy.

It's Tuesday it's 1:25.

I am not at work.

I called out last night

I feel awful.

I truly hate being sick. Mainly because when I'm sick the world doesn't stop... But when someone who shall remain nameless gets sick the world (me) must help this person feel better... this must be what my mom felt like..

Mom,
I love you thank you for tickling my arm when i was sick , making me almost burnt toast and pears. thank you for holding my hair when i was throwing up. I can throw up by me self but it's always nice to have some one pat your back as your hovering over the toilet I love you Mom.
thank you
Carolyn

.. Speaking of Toilet's, i don't know what it is about them but when you have that feeling of impending doom and you run to it's side and you hover over it.. all of a my stomach feels better. So i start to walking away and i must suddenly run back. I think m stomach and the toilet is against me. it is like my stomach realizes when I'm hovering over the toilet, and when i get there it's like just kidding i got you to run to the toilet and even bow to it.. that's right i am the amazing stomach..

so you get i feel awful. So while i have been suffering silence.. no ones knows I'm sick :) i get to thinking of a really good idea for a stomach ache relief med commercial. So
any commercial people out there i have a really good idea I think it's hilarious! i won't say it here cause who knows my idea will be taken and there goes my awesome idea :)

On to more exciting news:

It's almost my birthday..
what i wanted for my birthday..
a hair cut
hair color
and
A massage..

just a suggestion :)

Smells = Memory

2011-10-05T18:20:00.000-06:00

Some where between my car door and The entrance to my work i get rushed with a memory. I usually linger longer in that spot. but then the time gets the best of me and i must rush upstairs and go to work. I start thinking of times when....

In Idaho, about late September there's a smell flowing through the air. When Fields are burning and farmers are getting ready for winter. The smell comes the next day when the left overs from the night before fire are laying on the ground, and the dew from the morning is resting on them. It gives off a smell. it's not a stinky smell ...
I get to thinking of things that i would see happen once i started to smell this. I Knew that my winter clothes would be coming soon and i would squeeze in one more outing with the flip flops & Short's staying up late playing kick the can in the Fells yard or even the Egan's and I would come home and the Cold air would have started a "rash" where the jeans and the skin would rub. At that time i knew, my summer clothes would be taken away an my drawers would filled with m winter clothes. my flip flops were replaced with tennis shoes & I would soon start to see pumpkins and "happy harvest' signs. Halloween decorations would come out and instead of normal porch lights they would be changed to orange. People would start trying to fine there Halloween custom.

When my Grandpa & Grandma still had there ranch in Malad and this smell of the wet weeds would bring memory's of the times I would go and get to play with all of my cousins . We would play on the zip line and run around till our hearts content. While the Adults were getting the cattle ready for winter.

When my mom would make Bacon Cheddar soup in bread bowls... that was the meal we would have before we would go out for trick or treating. The best thing was after you ate the soup the bread bowl was now soggy enough to tear apart with your spoon and eat. hmmm Yummy

When my parents would start to use our pelit stove and it would cause people or school bus drivers to stop and tell us our house on fire.. who ever would answer the door would smile and say thank you but it's just our stove.

Going to foot ball games and freezing... good times good times

and the most important thing about this time of year.. my birthday is getting closer :)

Conference

2011-10-01T16:00:00.005-06:00

I am not going to lie. I remember a time in my life when i look forward to conference only because i could stay in my pj's and i could eat during talks...
Little has changed. But this last Conference I really enjoyed it. I did enjoy staying my pj's but i really enjoyed listening to the talks. there were allot that struck my heart and cried. I think the one that sticks out in my mind was and still is Neil L Anderson's talk. I cried when listening to it. I don't have t.v so we had to be creative on how we were going to get Conference.

See our lab top.. you can't see all the cord's? you can't O trust me there's allot. but we got it!!!!

Here's me writing down notes... It helped me pay attention! I have gone back on the notes and read them and felt the same spirit. i felt when i was listening to the talk.

Here's mike... listening er i mean.. sleeping ;) No judging he had actually worked all day on Saturday so he was tired. he only was asleep for a few minutes before we woke up.

Conference never last long enough. I can't wait for the next one!

Better Late then never Right?

2011-09-18T16:09:00.002-06:00

Back in August... wow that seem so wrong that i even said "back in August" where in the tarnations has this year gone.... any who... I digress...
My Family ( everyone minus 2 brother in laws) went to Lagoon. This was Mike's First time going to lagoon. I was a little worried he wouldn't have fun
1 being he doesn't do Roller coasters
2... ya number 1 is pretty much the basic reason.
But being a good sport he went! I was so excited to go to lagoon. I haven't been since...... i think it was the summer after my Senior year I went with some friends. We had a blast. So i was even more excited to go with my nieces and Nephew being that I was pretty sure the two older nieces could ride pretty much all the "awesome" rides.
which i was right!
The very first ride we always go on is the "White Roller Coaster". I don't actually know what this roller Coaster Proper name is. if my research is correct this is one of the oldest coaster in the park. I have heard many people have fallen off the ride because they aren't heading the " STAY SEATED WHEN RIDE IS IN MOTION" warning, but it's still by Farrrrr my favorite ride in the whole park. Whitney went on it. she liked it. It was fun

After this ride we took the wee ones ( anyone younger then 6) on there own special rides they had a blast. First off the cars.. mainly for little buddy. In this picture i want to say Whit's practicing her acting skills "dont' show emotion" ;). JJJJJJUUUUST Kidding. She has a blast. she told me so. See below picture. i wasn't lying
After the cars there was lots of other rids to explore on. Boats,air planes,mini rockets i think it was actually called the dinosaur? I don't really remember.. But anywho. We had to wait a few hours for the rest of kids to arrive before the real fun started. After the cars Whit and Ry wanted to try the boats. The good thing about Lagoon is it always brings back memories of when i was little and i could ride those rides. It was such a good time.... anywho lets step off the memory lane get back to what you here for.. Pictures of cute kids!!

Okay pictures... The boats were next... this picture makes me laugh. Why, because i can see the thought running through both of there minds.. " how is this working"

The Next picture

Is of Tiffany, this ride is newer... i can't remember the actually name but i spins in a circle REALLY FAST one way then REALLY FAST the other way... Mike wouldn't ride the ride... because of previously mentions number 1 reason.. so he took this really awesome picture of Tiffany..

I can't make a post with out a picture of this Ridiculously cute (sick but cute) little Claire.. she wasn't feeling so good that day so she didn't get allot of sleep the night before. the amazing things is even the not feeling well she still can pull off the " I'm cute and your not so what are you looking at " Look. So Claire doesn't feel good what happens to her Mommy when baby girl is sick...

Her Mommy is sad. See this picture---> see the sad face, see all the medicine? see all the frowning face? Baby Girl is sick, baby Girl's Mom is sad for her baby.

Okay okay okay. I know this next picture is really fuzzy but i think it's cute. Not that this picture isn't cute, but this next one come close!

Seriously, Look at at little buddies face! The Excitement of seeing this really cool ride! He rode the new ride it's blue... i can't remember what's it called. wait it's coming to me o yes, Bombora, Once Jessica held is head against the head rest he thought it was a BLAST! It was super cute!

Okay Okay... Mike did ride 1 coaster while we were there... 1... he did it for Brynlee... not for me for Brynlee.... he's gonna be a great dad one day..

We had a blast! It was fun! I can't end this post with giving much props to two special little girls Kenna and Whitney.. Now you any of you remember this ride?
You may think I'm a sissy but i didn't ride this ride until i was a senior..... I know I know. Well the LAST ride we rode was the Colossus... Kenna was super excited Whitney was scared. But THEY did it! I am so proud of these girls did it, they are so awesome!!!!

I can't wait till we do this Lagoon trip Again!!

Alive and Slightly kicking

2011-09-10T16:46:00.000-06:00

Hey guys,
Were alive.. we don't have Internet... nor do we have t.v I have been getting allot of stuff done with out. How am i doing this you ask? I am mooching off my Aunt's Internet, we came over to pay bills, and i thought what a good time to update the ol'blog, not like any of you depend my blogs BUT still. We are alive.

The new apartment is awesome. We got our first Electric bill yesterday minus it being higher then i wanted i will blame the Deposit that we had to pay (half of it when on the bill) it was cheaper. :) We aren't spending buckets of money on gas for mike to get to work any more! AWESOME! yes i know!

We have been able to take allot of stuff to the DI just cause we have no room. which is good a trip to the DI giving things away makes me way way way happy.

Work for me has it's up and downs. Down side,Couple of days ago i was talking to a his Hispanic woman who was very angry that she wasn't getting commissions check. I tried to explain to her that she doesn't get Commission's check from her own orders. she had 1 person in her down line and they hadn't placed orders since may of LAST YEAR. She was getting all kinda angry mixing English and Spanish talking really fast ( faster then me) and then she stopped and said it PERFECT English "Your BLEEPING Gringa ears just can't BLEEPING pickup a BLEEPING thing" all i could say was excuse me excuse. I am a gringa yes but don't talk to me like that. thankfully she hung up the phone i cried and then took the next call, to person in Kentucky that kept calling me Hun... that's the upside

Mike's Jobs has it's UpS and downs, Ups card need work down side car's don't need work... it's really simple. any friends in the area reading this if you live/know of someone in the Salt Lake City area that needs a car worked on go to master mufflers in Salt lake by the Temple ask for Mike :)

Salt Lake City,UT,84101

We had an anniversary. 7 years... It totally blows my mind that we have been married for 7 years... We didn't do much, we never really have to be honest. It fell on a Sunday so we went to church. It was great. Kinda exactly what happened when we first got married we didn't have a honey moon. so Saturday we got hitched, Sunday came around and we got up and went church. Nothing exciting. Instead of doing something like dinner or a movie we paid a bill. TOTALLY EXCITING! :)

Alright i better get going mike's done paying bills and we have to go to Costco for meat... can anyone else hear me crying? I hate buying meat. My parents meat they get is SO much better and i haven't been able to make it up to Idaho to get some.. Ugh CRY with me. i know it's sad. any who... I am off to concur Costco on Saturday..

Our new apartment wont be "open" tell August 12th.. so My lovely Lovely Aunt is letting us crash in her basement for about 2 weeks.
My Family is going to Lagoon... i haven't been to lagoon in such a long time.. I remember going to lagoon probably every summer for the longest time then we got older and it wasn't as cool.. I have such awesome memories and i can't wait till we have kids and we can start making memories with them there as well. Well i better go pack... ugh....

you make me sick

if some of you follow me on facebook, you will know how much i hate Casey Anthony.
I got up last week, and when i read the news that she was not guilty i cried for Little Caylee. I went to my facebook and wrote my feelings down as i saw many of my friends also did. Then a couple of days ago on my way to work i heard that Casey could possible make ALLOT of money after she gets released. I am so sick. How can someone not report the child missing for 31 days and not even be found guilty of Neglect????? I don't get it. Caylee probably cried for Casey and she did nothing, NOTHING i am positive that her and OJ Simpson will rot in the same cell in hell for what they did. go do me a favor. For poor little caylee go here and sign this petition so it becomes a crime so if you don't report your child missing you will be found guilty of SOMETHING!... Please

were kinda addicted now

2011-07-06T13:39:00.001-06:00

A little Practice before the game starts. This was such a good game. Even though i think the refs were Paid off to call this game a certain way. I think the funniest thing ever i have ever heard minus the drunk guy at last weeks game was my mother in law who was complete sober scream at the refs my Favorite thing she said all night was " Refs do you freaking want my glasses?" as she takes her glass off her face and wave them in the air . It really was a good game. I can't wait for the next one. We are soo going. I won't post the pictures of the fire works. they were really sad. I sat there trying not to say something like " Really Really?" Nothing is better then Idaho falls Fire works!

Mother and Son. Retha forgot Sun block. so she was trying to save her face from looking like a tomato

US, waiting for the game. We were so lucky this time too we were 15 rows from the field and it was awesome!!!

Retha forgot Sun block. she is trying to save her face so it doesn't look red.

Free is always best!

2011-06-30T17:05:00.007-06:00

If you don't know I kinda like Dog the Bounty Hunter.. He has like 17 thousands kids.. okay not 17 thousand but allot and one of his kids Is Wes Chapman... Who i follow on Face book and who lives in Provo,Utah. I live In Utah.. Well a Couple of days ago On his Face book he set his status as
" I have free Real Salt Lake Soccer Tickets you want one message me there are 6 rows from the Field"

So i did.

I asked for 2.. and in return he sent me a message

" Hey
your tickets are ready, when you get there tell them you with the Lime party.
have a good Night thanks for coming
Wes!"

So i told Mike were going to the RSL Soccer game he was kinda Leary being that i don't really know Wes but still we went..

Here is us after we got in we got water and pop for free and were treated kinda like we had ALLOT OF MONEY! We even got to sit the the cushion seats.. the people behind us were really Jealous! I have decided that no matter what sporting event you are at the best part may be the game but the second part is the drunks that just scream what ever comes into there heads.. Good times!

I don't really know allot about soccer. The few things i know i learned form my High School best Friend Lauralynn.. Even though she knows allot i didn't get to really suck all the information from her. So what i know didn't get me allot in this game. But it was still a blast. If We had scored all the times that we tried it would have been 6 to NOTHING. but alas we didnt' but we did score 2 to nothing. so that was awesome!

I can't say allot other then this was a REALLY GOOD game. I forgot to bring my good camera so i took some pictures with mikes phone. here is a picture of i think we are fixing to score our second goal! It was really was a good game! i am so glad we went!

Thanks again Wes.. even though we don't know each other besides the Facebook world! thank you!

2011-06-18T13:59:00.000-06:00

2011-05-22T20:35:00.000-06:00

You choose your actions which will always choose your consequences.

I have been watching sister wives. I started watching at the very start of the session. I watched as his third wife had his youngest baby. A cute blonde fuzzy head girl. Cutie. Then he "married" his fourth wife. Life's great. Then it started to become a train wreck that I couldn't help but rubber neck to look at. Now they have chosen to move to Nevada fine with me. My 1st problem with them is lehi utah didn't do ANYTHING to them. It was Kody he went public. No one cared what or who he was doing but once you go public what did you think was going to happen? Then I watched a episode where what did i see as they were packing you ask, a picture not any picture a picture of Joseph Smith right above a sign that says families are forever.
The 2nd thing that even more kills me is his second wife was an active LDS member but then decided to go and be a polygamist.
The 3rd thing Kody him self went on a mission then When he came back his parents were now practicing polygamy and instead of realizing o this isn't right he chose to continue with it.
Now there moving cause they are scared well ya your breaking the law. Go to Nevada that's fine. Just remember Kody you chose your actions and now you and the 20 people that your actions have reflected is now suffering your consequence.
All because you wanted what money? to come out and be accepted in world that still thinks it wrong? you have made your beds now you get to lay in them.

Mom

2011-05-08T20:42:00.000-06:00

10 years.. 10 LONG YEARS

2011-05-02T13:12:00.001-06:00

Last night Mike & I were watching t.v when i hear my grandma wade faintly say my name. As she comes down the stairs and around the corner she says Osama Bin Laden is dead my sister just called me and told me to turn on the T.V. can you please turn it on so i can see it. In totally surprise i change the channel. I tuned in just in time to hear the president tell us it is confirmed he has been dead. I do think it's amazing!
From what i have been watching ( i say watching loosely, the T.V. has been on CNN since i got up i just have heard bits and pieces) two black hawks landed, Took the mansion,Shot him and his brother and unfortunately 1 women they (Osama Bin Laden )were using a Human shield. They took his body, then they buried him at sea so no one can do anything to his crave. Now that i have learned all this i want to change the channel but we all know how older people are, they will change the channel to different new channels to see if they haven't heard something. ANYHOW
10 years
10 Long years we have been hunting for me. and for him to be found and shot. I slept a little better but then i got up and realized that we now need to have our sense heighten cause i think whom ever will take his place will try and hurt us.
I saw on a friend's Facebook status that on May 1st Hitlers Death was announced... interesting i think so.

Okay i will get off my soap box

Carolyn and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

2011-04-28T17:23:00.000-06:00

I love this book. I first read this book when I was young...er I do believe it was at my aunt janell's house. At the top of her very steep stairs on the book shelf that was between cassidy and Jakes room I sat and read this book. Today felt kinda like it so now I want to read : Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
I woke up late : Terrible
I had a member complaint : Horrible
I cried about the complaint : No good
I now have a headache : Very bad day
&
My bra broke : Very very bad day ( I added that one)

They have days like this in australia

I see something Springy

2011-04-23T16:53:00.000-06:00

I went for a walk a couple of days ago cause it was so nice! Here was what i saw while i walked. I am gong to blame the fact that it's cause i put my spring decorations out. :)

Dreaming

2011-04-11T18:34:00.000-06:00

Last night i sat straight up in bed around Midnight 30 because i swore i heard someone come in to my house. I Freaked out. Because some of my mikes guns are under the stairs..

after a few minutes of trying to figure out what i could use to defend my self and if i should call mike ( not like he could do anything but that probably would have helped me process this a little better ) or just run downstairs screaming with my can of hair spray......

Then i realized it was my mother in law snoring.... i couldn't go to sleep for the next few hours... Blast....

Near Death

2011-04-02T14:44:00.000-06:00

I was driving home from work on Thursday. Thinking oooo 1 day till i get to go see Mike and the rest of my Family. As i singing along to the song of the radio all of a sudden the traffic comes to a COMPLETE STOP.... which really drove me crazy cause i was listening to the " traffic report with Karlie Cash" which wasn't saying ANYTHING AS TO WHY I WAS DEAD STOPPED ON I-15 on national Semi day. After about 30 min of just hanging out on the freeway we started to move. As I got closer to what was making traffic stop, I see, a red sports car, it had rollover or the semi that was half of the road with almost all of it's cargo sitting on road could have caused the annoying Traffic stop. But after we got going Karlie Cash came back to en light me as to why i HAD been stopped.. Good timing Karlie Cash Good timing. any who. I have a point I promise.
So driving driving driving. Some person in front of me is going Ridiculously slow! So what do i do I go to change lanes.. as i do

This Fly's through my window. Scaring me to death. I scream... i think i might have even cussed. I did a quick check of my self and my car ( all still going 75 miles and hour ) after realizing that i wasn't hurt no bleeding my car seems to be running normal i see this

Thee Entry point.

I realize that there really isn't much i could do cause well, I don't now Who it came from nor do i remember the person in front of me. So i just kept driving. After exiting i called Mike, I didn't start crying until i heard his voice. then i lost it. Being the sweet husband i have he calmed me down asked if was okay. Then told me to get home he would call the insurance i needed to call a place that would do windshields.

We got it fixed Thank goodness! and just in time for me to leave. I had to think

if it wasn't for that person going so dang slow it would have hit my side. I would have been hurt Very very very badly.

Baby Claire

2011-03-30T19:23:00.000-06:00

My baby sister had baby in march! I know crazy! Mike and i had come up for the weekend because mike had some interviews and it was Tiff's due date. By Sunday night ( past due date) Claire had not made her grand entrance YET. I was getting worried that she would show up after we left.

Then Sunday night we finally got the call i was waiting for! I'd like to introduce

CLAIRE JOHNSON

This is me with my newest niece

I sure <3 <3 <3 her already

There's something 'bout ....

2011-03-30T18:50:00.000-06:00

...seeing our flag flying free that makes me cry. Then i remember when i was in Elementary & Middle School We stood and we said:

I pledge allegiance to the flag

Of the United States of America

And to the republic for which is stands

One nation under God invisible

With liberty and Justice for all

Then we sat and did our work. It makes me sad that i have heard that they no longer do that.

One of Those Days

2011-03-25T18:18:00.006-06:00

Rough day at work today.

I will be honest.

I almost lost my "cool" with one lovely person today.

I think this statement above Say's enough. Don't get me wrong, there is probably 1% of the people that live in that mentioned state might actually be Nice, Kind..... I can honestly say i have NEVER spoken

those kind of people from there.

This is me... Minus the brown hair.. and for today minus the smile. I blame the the above mentioned state they seem to breed rude unkind, hateful people.

If you were calling a company that is rather well known and your on a cell phone. when you called the Hold message said " your wait time will be approximately 1 hour" would you think 'hmm, I'm on my cell phone i don't have allot of minutes, maybe i should do what I'm gonna do on line, cause I'm pretty sure i can ' i think i would.
So this Lovely Person was calling on her cell phone, (Fine) this is the Conversation.Keep in mind EVERYTHING i said was said with a smile so she couldn't tell how much she was driving me crazy!
Me- Thank you for calling Young Living this Carolyn, How can i help you?

Cust- O My Hell, Finally, what the Hell is taking so long, I have been on hold for 45 Min's. really? why can't you people pick up the phone? This is just rude. I am calling on my cell phone. Using my Minutes to site on hold so i can talk to YOU. ugh anyway i need to use my points and cancel my auto ship

Me- Okay, we can do that, I am going to need to your member number so i can get your account pulled up.

Cus- Seriously it doesn't come up automatically when you answer the phone what kinda business is this? Fine, here, is my number (now say this Ridiculously fast) 986552 (not actually Number)

Me- I'm sorry you said 986?

Cus- I SAID 9....8....6....5....5...2

Me- thank you, Okay I'm just pulling that up can i get you to Verify your 4 digit pin

Cus- ugh, seriously i do this every time!

Me- Yes, we have to verify it every time for security so we know it's you accessing the account not someone else.

Cus- so annoying, fine it's kims

Me- It's 4 numbers

Cus- o my gosh, 1234

Me- thank you, alright lets see, i know your wanting to cancel your points but have you had an Opportunity to hear the promotions?

Cus- Yes on hold 45 Min's yes i have don't tell me them

Me- i wasn't going to , i just wanted to make sure you aware of them,

Cus- yes i was,

ME- Okay, i have your points available is 250 points which is equal to $250.00

Cus- O wow, Okay i want...... ( she gives me 4 items)

Me- you still have 100 dollars to spend

Cus- seriously they just won't go away
said to my self ( really? your complaining that you have to spend 100 more dollars and your only going to probably be spending like 40 bucks? Really? ugh people)

Me- If you don't want to use them that's fine but since your trying to cancel you would lose them.

Cus- i know, your sucking us dry of money you know that right? ugh you people

Me- I'm really sorry you feel that way.

Cus- Don't say your sorry, you don't care.

Me- Okay, i won't but i do

Cus- Thank you, okay give me ( 6 more items)

Me- Okay that will use all but 1.25

Cus- Can you send me a Check that? cause i deserve it.

Me- Unfortunately we can't you will just lose that.

Cus, That is So dumb. but whatever!

Me- Okay, so your remaining that you will be losing is 1.25. your shipping and handling is 9.99 there is tax on shipping of .53 so the grand total that your responsible for is 10.52. We have your address as 4567 S. 850 N, Such and such city, in such a state,zip is 45463, the phone number is this, and i have this package going fed-ex ground, so it should take, about 1-2 business day's to process, and take about 5-6 to get to you with out a signature.

Cus- wow, you like to talk don't you? that's fine, do i really have to pay for shipping? cause that's dumb? anyway here's my credit card number. After we pay for this are we gonna cancel the a/s finally? cause i have now been on the phone for bout an hour and half this is so dumb. I need my minutes to talk to people that i actually want to talk to you. Your making this difficult for me! i just no longer want this crap and i have like these to orders that i need to send back because you guy keep sending me the same stuff i have called 8 time this week and each time the wait time has been 45 an hour long. you really need to get this fixed.

Me- (I like to talk?) Well, why don't we finish canceling your a/s so you don't use any more minutes then you have to.

Cus- (long silence) that was smooth really smooth

Me- so there we canceled your a/s here is your confirmation # and is there anything else i can help you with?

Cus- Help you haven't helped me. ( and she hung up)

Ugh. sometimes i really hate my job. but it pays the bills. and it's not always that way. but some times. When you have people yell at you it can get you frustrated! But venting here really helped :) thanks!

    Since We have been married we have always ed had the Ensign. Always. never fails. When we moved from Idaho to Utah we forgot to renew for it. I know blasted! Just recently we got it Renewed... i think it was meant to be for me to get this months Message.

    If you don't know already, We have had a hard time having Children. Apparently that was a struggle I... We Chose before we came down to earth. I don't remember standing in that line ;) anyway. We have been through this for bout 6 years. So you would think that when i moved to Utah where EVERYONE you see is either just had child or Just found out they we were pregnant. You would THINK I would be used to the feeling that comes when a child of god is blessed. I get a little frustrated and maybe angry is a little better wording, when the parent's are holding that baby and saying "this is my Son/ Daughter."

   I Got home from work today feeling okay, nothing to exciting. I walk down my stairs.. and what do i see? with a squeal of excitement there sitting in Mike's chair UN opened still plastic wrapped is the Ensign.   I sat reading other peoples experience's with the same problem We have had. That article i know Father Heaven was like "you need this one". Faith & Infertility. It was such a good thing to read. As i sat there all my anger and frustration melted away. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father knows what i need. Thank You!

lets think.....

2011-03-20T12:39:00.000-06:00

Do you remember last year around this time? I DO!! Like I posted last week Mike got a job in Idaho. He will be working at Stone Town & Country Dealer ship working on cars! I know he’s excited. He keeps telling me he wants to get a junk car and just start taring it apart. Now he can and get paid. We have lived on a mechanic’s salary we did this already, We know how to handle winter. We GOT THIS! He leaves on Thursday.... He left kinda the same time last year. I was a complete mess the first time. Maybe this time i won’t break into uncontrollable sobs.
I have boxes everywhere when i say everywhere i mean everywhere everywhere behind the couch between the desk also knows as the Kitchen Table! In the Living Room Floor, in my mother in laws bedroom EVERYWHERE!!
I sure will miss him but Our Lease ends at the end of July. I am so grateful that we are moving from the state. i am so grateful that mike has a job. I am so excited to be back where i belong.

I have been having a feeling that i should write about what been going on. I just haven't wanted to cry. So i apologizes for my Ramblings
The first week of January Mike got Laid off. It was very shocking and something we didn't want to happen. It has put allot of pressure on me none the less sense right now i am thee only person in the house hold that has a job. Mike feels totally helpless. He been looking for jobs and even applied for Unemployment In hopes that, that Money will come fast. It's also a Blessing, Mike is going back to school. So he would have had to either quite Pepsi or see if they would have put him down pay grade to go part time.So being Laid off was a blessing.... kinda. It was hard at first. Still is. i had one night after night prayers where mike had barely said amen, when i broke in to uncontrollable sobs. Mike was totally confused wondering if he did anything or just the stress/spirit/stress had finally gotten to me. But i cried for about 15 min then i was good. I had called my mom the day we found out he was laid off and thank goodness for mom's and there ability to listen and dont' judge and just repeat the same thing that you heard when you were a kid that made you feel better. I sure love her.
I'm starting a new thing THINK POSITIVE which is hard in this situation
Mike and I were watching Wife Swap last night and the wife's that were swapped were totally opposite of each other ( hence that makes the show so interesting) One of the wife's was Poor ( must say with out the R) and the other was so rich. She was so freaking positive it made me sick.But then i got to thinking. i need to be positive. if was positive i would be happier about really anything. So i am trying to look at everything positively which can be so hard but it's getting easier. Being positive can't be that hard i thought then as quickly has i made this decision i went out to my car, the window had a crack. not a little crack it had turned into half of my stupid window. STUPID CRACK! I immediately started blaming the dang Semi's that drive in the two fast lanes when there are supposed to be driving in the slow lane... then i bite my tongue.... I realize that i was NOT being positive... i thought how in the world am i supposed to be positive about A crack in my windshield! I couldn't really think of anything so i decided to just shut up about the stupid crack. :)

Wow!

2011-01-22T12:59:00.000-07:00

Look Not behind Thee

2011-01-02T22:32:00.000-07:00

Every New Years Eve (pre-marriage) we (sisters ,friends whomever i was with) would stay up and wait for the ball to drop. Since i got married (6years, 4 months and some change) we haven't really done anything This new years eve wasn't any different! We BARELY made it to New Years awake. We rented some movies, Salt and Shrek ever after. Both were surprising good. At about 12:05 i turned to mike said happy new years and then went to bed. I haven't really made new years Resolutions cause when i do they last about 1 month then life happens and i get to busy. 2010 wasn't a bad year for us at all. I Moved mike to Utah ,then i Moved to Utah , I started new job. there wasn't a time in 2010 that i was like i can't wait for this year end. I just Hope 2011 can be as good as last year was.

Mike found this movie and After watching it i thought to my self, this brings in the new year nicely!
Enjoy my friends enjoy!

Dear Dentist

2010-12-28T12:27:00.000-07:00

Dear Dentist,
we don't really know each other the only reason we know each other is because you did a root canal on my husband a couple of weeks ago. You my Friend (that doesn't know were friends) did such an amazing job! You really did! Mike ( my husband) is kinda a pansy when it comes to pain. EVEN though he took a loritab before the appointment and was kinda loopy he still could feel. But you.. You were amazing! He didn't feel when you stuck him with that BIG freaking needle to numb him up! I am sorry I am rambling.
after that appointment he kept raving about you, and how he should have been a dentist cause it really enjoys looking at other peoples teeth and giving other people shots. Yesterday, He told me he seriously wanted to go back to school to be one... i was taken back yes. But i guess since you made such a big impression on him ( no pun intended) he really really really wants to be like you. So my friend. I don't know if thank you is the right word. it may be when he's done. but for right now. i say thank you lightly. Very lightly.
but needless to say.. I do feel good. i can tell if were not supposed to do something by the way i feel. So far. i feel fine. now it's on to getting stuff ready. So friend do you think you could foot the bill sense he loved your work? ...
didn't think so.. it didnt' hurt to ask right?
LOVE
Carolyn

Christmas Time

2010-12-26T23:21:00.000-07:00

This year mike's brother game to visit so we had Christmas at our house. He flew in on Christmas at like 4 something we waited aaaaalllllll day to open our gifts so he could be involved. I got some nice things. I am not like many women. Most women hate kitchen gifts for Christmas. I love it. Mike got me new Tupperware to replace the ones we got 6 years ago as a wedding present & he got me some cookies cutters 101 to be Exact & a scents candle. I LOVE IT. and a hamburger Patti maker!

Mike got ALOT of things Wii Games Camo stuff & PS3 games.He was happy!

Once we got all our stuff opened I wanted a family picture i didn't know it was gonna be so damn difficult

After that we played some games

Collin is the Deer, Mike is the Hunter

After that there was a much needed break... nap... break.. same thing

The best thing about this weekend was

Tradition. Tradition!

2010-12-24T21:18:00.000-07:00

Every Christmas eve that i can remember we have always opened 1 gift. usually it was mom's pj's she made us or something that the cousins got us.. Since i got married i have tried to carry on this TRADITION.. TRADITIONS

So after mikes nap (see previous post) we each open a gift. Mike first. He wanted to open the only gift that was surprise for him, well i think it's because it was wrapped in a big box so he was excited.

He's so excited.

Then ME, So mike played Santa and i opened a a gift! a Case for my Camera! I have been using a sock to hold it! i know pathetic! i am super excited!

out of no where there's snow

2010-12-24T16:12:00.000-07:00

Couple of days ago we were amazed how it wasn't even snowing it was Christmas eve eve eve then one morning we woke up and BAM it's snowed. Mike left for work and i woke up and tried to get me car out of the parking spot i was in... this is what happens when you are trying and trying and trying to get out you make pretty designs in the snow.
The dry spot in the very back is where i was parked. I snaked my way until i hit a rut that wasn't facing the curb.

15 minuets later i am out and call mike. He in returns brings me the FJ so i don't die on the way to work.
sure love that man.

2010-12-04T21:39:00.000-07:00

This week Mike & I were able to get a couple of days off work. It was nice to just hang out and do Nothing. We were home when it first started to Snow So we just had to get a picture. Being that it will probably be the only snow we get this Winter. So far it's been true. It was 50 Degrees yesterday and now has melted all the snow! O well i did get some pictures :)

After the Pictures of the Snow fall I wanted to put up the tree sooooo we did!

After the Tree was up, we needed pictures. We used the timer on my Camera for the first time! After many Failed attempts we got some good ones with and with out my mother in law.

i know i look kind wide eyed but i just ran and got sitting down when the camera went off..

PLEASE STOP

2010-12-01T22:11:00.000-07:00

So for those who don't know I work at Young Living Essential Oils. I answer phones everyday. I get some really funny calls. Some not so nice. Some where you want to go in a corner and start rocking back and forth.
Well since i had to hear this i am sharing this lovely Conversation I had a couple days ago with a member.
It started off fine. Her telling me what she wanted for her next order. THEN THEN THEN when i asked her if there was anything else... I should have just hung up. ;) Here we go!
THE FOLLOWING CONVERSATION MAY BE TO MUCH FOR OLDER PEOPLE AND DON'T READ OUT LOUD TO CHILDREN

Member: " Carolyn, these oils are awesome! My husband is much older then i am and he has allot of trouble. He is on a catheter. Well honey, he woke me up a couple of nights ago with a major infection. I wasn't about to take him to the hospital so they could just put him on some antibiotics right?"

Me: (thinking in my head STOP TALKING) out loud i said. right"

Member: So i got some lavender oil, Raven sara, Melaluca Aternofila and just rub it on his Penis and to make sure it didnt' get to hot i made sure i had some V-6 oil. Of course he did get a little excited but i was able to to clam him down,But ya know what with in hours he was fine and he didn't need any stupid drugs form a doctor!"

Me : (in my head, WHY WHY WHY WHY ME!!!) wow that's amazing. ( hiding laughter behind my voice)
I ended the phone call very quickly! I was not about ready to hear ANY MORE about her Husbands parts!
ya so NOW that i have shared that you all can go to your corner and rock back and forth. cause i had to :)

One of THOSE days

2010-11-28T20:24:00.000-07:00

do you ever have one of those days where you want to just sit on your butt and do NOTHING?
Well that was me today. I tried just sitting and doing nothing. But i kept hearing my mom saying " CAROLYN, GET UP YOUR WASTING THE DAY" With a big sigh then an even bigger sigh. Then it was time to get ready for church. i didn't want to go but the my mom came back to my head and said " When you don't want to go, that's when you need to go the most"
Mom, Thank you it was a good day at church. there was a lot of speakers. It wasn't until i got to R.S that i really listening to the speaker. She was taking about not staying offended over stupid things. I got to thinking, have i been offended over something stupid and kept it harboring? I can't say no. yes, there are times i have Harbored feeling of Offenedness. I decided 2 things
1) i can't let whom ever i have been offended by take my peace away. Yes, i have probably offended people and not blinked an eye. But when people have offended me. i stop and think how can they do such and such. 2)I am turning a new leaf. If i let them offend me then i am letting Satan win.
simple right.
simple.

Merry Thanksgiving

2010-11-25T19:45:00.000-07:00

For Thanksgiving this year we had to stay in Utah. Because Mike was on call this weekend and i had to work after thanksgiving.

So Before dinner we went for a drive up in the mountains. The Mountains that had gotten the "blizzard' of the Century! Here are some of the views we saw. They were very beautiful! I have to say that the snow on the mountains are beautiful! It's a shame that it has to come in the valley. Mike and Retha got to see this pretty view. I got to see these two Pretty faces... well actually i got to see the back of there heads. but i did get out of the car to take a picture of the view..s...

I do have to say that they were both very a happy to be out of the house and driving. me on the other hand. i hate driving aimlessly. O well they liked it so intern maybe me happy.

FINALLY, From work i got a turkey, thanks goodness cause if it wasn't for the turkey i would have made thanksgiving Meat Loaf . But alas i have a husband who loves LOVE LOVE LOVE Turkey

My Mother-in-Law made the Turkey this year which is good cause i don't really care for turkey and i don't really know how to make it. BUT I do know how to make Crescent rolls from walmart. :)

Mike Did the Carving of the Turkey, I say Carv Losley I mean Hack at the Turkey.

None the less it was a good thanksgiving! I hope you had a awesome Thanksgiving! It would have been better with snow on the ground.

CRAP

2010-11-23T21:30:00.000-07:00

Sometimes i think

I am being an awesome wife.

Then one day you get a little slap in the face.

I went to put the laundry away a couple of days ago

( i am really good and doing laundry putting it away is a weakness of mine)

i know your wondering why i have a picture of an empty drawer

this is Mike's underwear drawer...

and it's empty

i suck.

the sweet thing is mike didn't even tell me "hey care, my underwear draw is empty, can you please do laundry"

I'm doing better at putting it away now... kinda...

My birthday.... awesome!

2010-11-23T21:18:00.000-07:00

So my birthday started off on Friday during work, the love of my life sent me these!BEAUTIFUL i know!

Later that night my Parents took Me & Mike to dinner at Red Robin which was soooo yummy! There they gave me my gift what would a girls like my self want for birthday? ooo i know i know i will give you a hint.

it's green

you can use to bribe young people and old people

I know it's hard to guess, they gave me $$$$$$, Money. which i love! My parents sure know how to give gifts right!
So on SATURDAY ( the greatest day know to the world , my birthday) I know you guys should feel Blessed to even know me! I started my day off by getting more presents my husband gave me a gift card to my 1st Favorite store!

where i also spent the the present from my parents to get some stuff. So i started my Birthday by doing something i hate. I know re-read this sentence. Why in the world would i do something i hate on my birthday? well see, because i hate shopping but i sure like the stuff that comes from shopping.

CLOTHES!!!SHOES!!! CUTE DECOR for my house. That's right i went shopping.

I got some OBER CUTE CLOTHES no worries i took some pictures!

to add to the cute clothes i also got some new shoes

After this wonderful shopping spree. I ended by getting a massage. It was wonderful!

then after that we went to dinner at Chili's which i have to say i was a little disappointed because they no longer have the awesome blossom! I KNOW IT'S SO SAD. I worked through the big disappointment and eat there anyway.

Then i spent that last of my gifts, my mother-in-law gave me a gift card to my 2nd favorite store, Hobby Lobby

where i got something really cute for my out side decorations for the holidays

Then to top the whole day off i got happy birthday wishes all day from my Facebook friends. It was a good day! Cant' wait till next year. Now i am off to bundle up, because apparently we are having the "worst snow storm of the year."

have a good night!

Hair

2010-10-30T22:19:00.000-06:00

i haven't really ever dressed up for Halloween. I used to dress up when i was little but once i got Older. I just really never had the desire to dress up. At work we were able to dress up if we wanted. So i was like what the heck i might as well. So i bought me some black eyeliner and decide to be creative.

I know it's really not that creative but i decided to be a stand in from those Aussie Commercials with the Kangaroo and every girl has crazy hair and goes into the bathroom and then comes out with amazing hair. So that was my creativeness i did. I know Amazing

Happy Halloween

2010-10-23T22:49:00.001-06:00

we got a pumpkin from walmart, FINALLY i think!!

i have been wanting to carve a pumpkin for some time now. Mike cut the the then i gutted it out. then mike carved it and ta-da here we have a pumpkin.

i set out to cleaning the pumpkin seeds. after rinse them,drying them and then putting some salt and garlic salt on them backing them for 30 min. and sturing them every 10 mins mike LOVES them :)

So that's who you look like

2010-10-19T09:59:00.001-06:00

This is Mike's Grandpa Bartola can we say Mike anyone?
Louis Joseph Intrabartolo
10/14/1917
my mother law moved with us and she had been telling me story of this guy that looks JUST LIKE MY MIKE.
Before WW2 he was a catcher with the Yankee's, During the war he hurt his knee and had to stop. that Injury cost him his dream job.
He changed his name because his whole last name wouldn't fit on the jersey so it went from Intrabartolo to Bartola. Mike met his grandpa once when he was 2 year old. Mike was the only sibling to have meet his Grandpa here on the earth. I know that he will meet again. Grandpa had 3 Brothers and 1 Sister.

This is Johnny, Louis Brother. It really Freaks me out when i see pictures of these two Guys. Mike looks so much like his grandpa and Uncle. Now when people say who does he look like i can say he looks like his grandpa and uncle. I also have have picture of Mike's Great Grandma, My Mother in law LOOKS just like her as well! I always wanted to know who mike looks like. Everyone would say o he looks like his grandpa I never was able to see pictures until recenlty. I started crying when i saw these pictures. I know that i will be able to meet him one day.

Does anyone else see how much the look a like?

Hobby Lobby

2010-10-14T09:30:00.001-06:00

A Hobby Lobby opened up 2 Minuets from me. It has become my favorite store EVER. It had rows and rows of Christmas decorations and if you don't now me I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas decorations I also have a small addiction to Halloween/Fall Decorations. If i had been raised to spend my money with no care in the world I would have 1 of EVERYTHING in this store. But alas I wasn't raised like that, which mike thanks my parents for that.

Home Sweet Home

2010-09-22T09:46:00.000-06:00

We went to Idaho last weekend, I seriously love Idaho. Why do i love Idaho sooooo much? Well it's because it's home. it always has been and always will be. My house now isn't home yet. but i know it will come.

We got to my mom's house around 10 Friday night. We walked in the door and Whitney and Ryan were still awake and practically ran us over to hug us. It really made me feel so loved. I love those kids. Shortly after that They were Just to tired to stay awake so we all went to bed.

The next morning we decided to go through the stuff that was still at my mom & dad's house. We went to the DI and got rid of some stuff.

On our way home we drove past our friend the Hancock's. Karin told us that Jed had Just shot an Elk.. As soon as she said this i thought i say mike cry a little we went to find Jed and his Elk. That thing was HUGE!!! We (when i say we i really mean Mike) helped him quarter it, and hang it so they could let it dry. that thing was

HUGE i mean HUGE!!! Here is Jed after he shot it. Like i said it was huge. he Shot it with his bowe. It really makes mike want to go hunting. After got it cut up we had elk steak. O MY GOSH that was SO good!! it was really good! LOVED IT!
Sunday came to fast we went to Church with the Hancock's. Then we came back to my mom's to have family dinner before we left to come home. It was nice to hang out for awhile. While we were leaving mike had 3 dollars in his pocket Whitney wanted to come with us and wouldn't really get out of the car so mike said here have a dollar then he gave one to Ryan and Mike laughed and said i just buy there love and Jessica said "it works' then Little buddy said "it works It was a good Laugh.

On our way home we noticed that there was a fire. One of my friends on Facebook's friend took this picture and i thought it was cool so i am going to share it with you.

He Titled it Heaven & Hell. that i think fits it well.

Anywho off to work

Peace

Random thoughts....

2010-08-07T22:28:00.003-06:00

Mike won an iPad I freaking love it. I have told mike that I am not A big fan of touch screen anything but I think this is one awesome iPad. I think this iPad is winning me over. I still love my blackberry I have issues when it comes to phone's being touch screen they bug me but this touch screen is awesome!!!!! If you don't have an iPad. You should totally get one.

We got direct tv. Everything is right with the world now. In the normal package we got was the hunting channel..... I haven't seen much of anything since mike was shown this channel.

We went to Ikea. We got a new tv stand, and two new night stands.. Well really they are side tables but i am going to take the pillow shames apart (I never use the pillow shames) and i will put Velcro on them and the table so I can still keep things under the table but all anybody sees are the pillow shames.

We have two bedrooms. right now the second room is filled with boxes. I have kept the door to that room closed I don't want to see all the work I still have to do.

I got new curtain rods and a new bed spread for our anniversary. I love it!!!

Someone had a Birthday shout Ugh...

2010-07-29T09:38:00.012-06:00

It's Mike's birthday.. Today.. Right now.. but last week his brother came to town. So we had a family party then here's some pictures of that.

Emily,Mike, Collin sitting at Iggy's celebrating mikes B-day.

We all went to the Local baseball game here. It's called the owlz.. kinda like the chuckers but i think the chuckers actually win.. The owlz lost Miserable.. but it was fun! AFTER The game we saw fireworks cause in Utah they celebrate the 24th like the 4th everything shuts down and you do fireworks and parades.. kinda weird cause in Idaho all we did was have a Stake Party.. nothing to get to excited about.:) Anywho the fireworks. I got to find out how the setting on my camerae called "fireworks" really works here some results

OOOOOOOOOO They even had music to go along with the fireworks.. Some guy behind us (who wasn't a member said "I'm surprised it isn't songs they sing in church" I couldn't help but chuckle but no the music was Disney music which i sang every word to which annoyed the older guy in front he plugged his ears.. I just kept on singing cause everyone else was.. grumpy old men shouldn't go out in public.

I have to say they had some pretty cool fireworks.. Or it could be that the "firework" function is PRETTY COOL i ain't gonna lie :) I like my camerae.. PRETTY COOL!!

After the game we came home didn't really do anything till Sunday when we had the family BBQ how does one get a BBQ Grill from storage to your house with no truck? One must be creative.. Or lazy how ever you look at it I say creative.. Thanks Collin for being willing to hold it while we drive around the corner... Yup i said around the corner..

After dinner we had Cake yummy cake that was well deserved for all! After Cake was some little sibling torment.. which seem to be mike teasing tickling.. which neither of them like...
And that my friends summs up our weekend.
Happy Birthday Mike love you tonz!!

Giant leap for Mike

2010-06-26T16:53:00.003-06:00

Mike admitted i was right

(about the kind of packing tape we CAN NOT use due to that fact that you wast half of it trying to get it Un-tangled and yes it's cheaper then scotch packing tape but the scotch packing tap is WAY better)

so today my friends it was nice to hear

"your right, don't make me say it again"

Venting

2010-04-27T17:36:00.004-06:00

I think I am done working with children. I have a little girl in my class at "School".. Her & I don't seem to get along with each other. I have had Good days that turn into bad days shortly after she arrives. I was told that she like to know what's going to happen next So i Tell the class " we have 5 Min's then we are cleaning up so we can do our papers" So when it's time to clean up she kicks and spits and calls me UN happy words... When i say UN-happy words I mean swears at me So i take her to My boss ( which while screaming at me she yells I want Miss Sarah so i am pretty much giving her what she wants)
( I am Obviously not telling the hole story, because if i do i get angry and lose my peace all over again)
I have had a hard time with her since she got me my class There seems that there is NO way to win with her. So that last couple of weeks I have come home just done ready to quit and be like okay I QUIT. I told my boss Monday that Friday I ALMOST called her and told I quit. The look on her face was priceless. I am SERIOUSLY thinking that (I have worked in Day cares since I could work), I am done. I think i want to do something else. Which is sad to me. I loved working with kids. I loved seeing them grow and learn. But this little girl has pushed me to my max! I have NEVER been to my max before. I have never felt that. I get angry cause Now for the first time in I how don't know how long I don't want to go to work. I am starting to hate my job. I was talking to mike & I know he really can't do anything for me, Him being in Utah and all. But he did tell me to think 2 more months 2 more months.. over and over again when i reach that point.
I find it sad that I am at the point with this job.. It just makes me sad cause I loved working with kids. i never wanted to do anything else and now I want to walk away and just be like "forget it"
I do only have 2 more months. I don't have to work with kids. I chose this job. SO until then I HAVE to make the most of it. There is just no way around it!
Here's to hoping for a better day!

Happy Birthday Mom

Finally America

2010-04-21T20:22:00.002-06:00

America finally kicked Kate off.

Thank goodness.

She just really sucked..

I think they should bring Aiden back just for letting Kate stay on So long.

FINALLY

2010-04-14T17:13:00.002-06:00

if you have ever lived or visited Idaho you would know what the weather is like. One min. it can be sunny and warm the next it just MIGHT be Snowing. Today was a good day. It was sunny and wonderful weather. I have been planning on riding my bike to work! I was going to ride it Tuesday but it rained.. so i prayed that it wouldn't today so i could save gas and lose weight. and surprise surprise it was nice! So i rode my bike to work and of course back. It was a nice work out. those little hills on John Adams kicked my butt going TO work but i freaking kicked there trash on the way back! It was just a good ride. I felt so awesome that i decided that i would ride to Maverick and get a sodie pop. It was nice! I am so grateful i thought if this awesome idea! I am grateful that i live so close to work ( right now) that i can ride to work. If my mom and dad live closer ( back in cloverdale) I would so ride to there house for dinner, but alas they just HAD to build a house sheesh sure didn't think of the rest of us ;o)!
Lately I have been watching Dancing with the stars.. hence my last post. I haven't really ever watched it before but for some reason ,could have been sheer boredom, nothing good is on TV on Monday's or i wanted to badly to have another REASON to be bugged about America voters. So Kate Gosselin is on it. Now why we have a blog is to say our personal views right.. I cant' stand her. I can't believe they kept her and voted Aiden off i almost screamed... probably did but nevertheless She's still on and he's gone. It reminds me of another person in T.V Reality world that was kept on a show FOREVER when he couldn't sing and it was like a pity vote's really. I just get angry thinking about it! K I'm done talking about it now...
Can anybody else believe that we are almost through APRIL! HOLY COW!! How times flyes! I can't believe that April is almost over! That does mean that it's almost June! I'm so antz to get down to Utah with mike. I can't say I'm enjoying being away from mike! It really stinks but I have been getting used to it!!! I miss him like crazy but distance makes the heart grow fonder!
Love you mike.

When mike came up to Idaho in April he went golfing with some friends, he went this many balls. When mike goes golfing no matter where he goes he will pick up balls that are just laying around. Really saves us on Golf balls, On a side note I have an uncle that lives on a golf course he to will go for walks and pick up the golf balls. When we were heading home to Laramie a few years back we stopped by there house to crash for the night. He gave mike a box full of Nike golf balls. Mike can't remember his name (Morgan) but he always wants me to call him up and ask him to send him more. SO anyway. He left with this many and came back with these ones.

I went to Utah to visit mike & in hopes to find a place to live. Mike is staying with my AWESOME Aunt & Uncle in Riverton. I haven't been in there house.. if i have don't remember prior to this. Anyhow I got there and I had to pee so i went down stairs to use bathroom. I turn the light on and I think I even kinda gasped! There bathroom is sooooo beautiful. I heard it was there youngest son Ryan & his wife Kelly.. Kelli.. anyhow they did so awesome! It's like my dream bathroom. I told Paula that if there bathroom is empty when I leave i don't know what happened to all there stuff. It's beautiful! I'm really jealous!
anyhow I digress.....

I have to say I am a little disappointed on the selection of apartments.. o wait I'm sorry those aren't apartment's they look like apartments but we called them condos... WHAT????? THEY ARE APARTMENTS NOT CONDOS why in the world would i buy an apartment i thought the hole point of buying your own place was to NOT here your neighbors....

Anyhow I digress...
So my Mom,Aunt Janell & I went to Orem to an apartment i a saw on KSL well I remember going to these apartments back in February, I also remember why I threw the application away " my manager changes the prices of these apartments like she changes her underwear" WHAT??? So on to Springville we got a newspaper in hopes that SOMETHING ANYTHING would SCREAM RENT me.. well looking at the paper and going to see them. lets see 1 was WAY OVER PRICED 2 were already rented and the last one well I was scared to get out of the car
So on to Spanish Fork, once again NOTHING. I was so disappointed.
On Friday Mike got of early so we went and hung out with his sister and her awesome room mate took us out to eat. ( thanks Po) we went to one apartment that was awesomely priced but no washer and dryer hookups. So that was a con.
on Saturday the day we needed to leave my mom took us out to lunch cause well she just missed mike oooooooooooo soo much. after lunch we went to Saratoga springs/Eagle Mountain and i swear there was allot of apartments but see they looked like apartments. but noooooo they were condos so we got a thrifty nickle and we found this awesome basement apartment in eagle mountain. It was great. THE ONLY CON was it was in Eagle mountain SOOO far out there From eagle mountain to mikes plant in almost an hour! UGH!
BUT BUT BUT BUT if we found a dwelling in Saratoga springs that's only 36 min. to his work.
I know i know your living in Utah sweety your gonna have to commute.
After that we had to leave so i said my good byes to mike cried for like 15 mins sleeped for an hour and i was good.
He's coming up for conference He doesn't want to miss my mom's feast at conference :) and to pay bills... and to see me.... :) anyhow.. hopefully this will get easier seeing him go.

Today i went to walmart, When mike i go to walmart we wonder well as i was walking around walmart i realized that I was walking through hunting at walmart. but the person that is always wanting to go to hunting isn't here with me .......dang habits.

why is the dark so spooky when your by yourself. I'd like to thank my neighbors for talking just loud enough that it drowns out the silence and thank you for vacuuming at a late hour it put me to sleep last night... From the bottom of my scared heart seriously! thank you!

I have been spending more time at my parents and couple of days ago we had dinner Whit & Ry should up. We played some games. I don't remember really what the game was called, nor what the sword, or the cup had to do with anything but alas we had fun!

New Decoration

2010-03-21T13:15:00.003-06:00

Since mike left yesterday I have been packing everything i don't need. I rearranged the living to keep my mind off of being alone. I cleaned my house trying to stay busy. But around 1030 I was tired from crying all day, but i just couldn't relax. I am not afraid of the dark. But there is something about an empty apartment that just freaks me out. Kinda like when you have watched Unsolved Mysteries in the dark.. Ya understand?

So i was kinda not wanting to go to bed. I kept hearing odd things,( in my mind I knew it was just my upstairs neighbors walking around or talking) but in the dark it's ANYTHING. so to sooth my fears i prayed read my scriptures and then went and got a new decoration that i think really makes the bedroom complete

I am's... What are yours?

2010-03-15T17:52:00.002-06:00

I am thinking,
that my house is a disasters right now. I have boxes coming out of my ears. I need to pack our second spare room. This weeks is going by to fast already. Mike's leaving on Saturday.... ugh He's leaving on Saturday. i have boxes EVERYWHERE. My Spare Spare room yes i have two spare rooms. needs to be packed. I know i have 3 months but if i can get pretty much EVERYTHING packed then when mike comes to visit he can take some things back and HOPEFULLY when it's time fore me to move we won't have to get a big truck and we will just have to get a small trailer. I'm pretty worried that I won't sleep well when he is gone. The last time he went some where it was for elders quorum Camping i slept with EVERY LIGHT on in the house cause i was scared.

I am wearing,
Pink sweat pants and a yellow shirt ( i got done working out)

I am Creating
I just got done creating dinner. It was spaghetti... Mike loves it... It's not my favorite but i make it cause i love him and well.. i was running out of ideas for dinner.

I am Reading,
The scriptures.. I want to read something else but i have packed all my books so yup the scriptures and i are bff's like it should be right?

I am hoping,
that the next 3 months will fly by. I'm hoping that I can lose a ton a weight and when mike comes to get me he'll be like wow who are you sexy woman! I'm hoping that we can get pregnant.

I am hearing,
Pawn Stars on the history channel we love this show. It's amazing what people will pawn to get money & me typing and the silent hum of the computer.

I am looking at
I added this one but i am looking at the computer screen but to the right of me is BOXES ( shocking i know) in front of me is the T.V. the the left of me is Mike sitting in his chair.... crap I am gonna cry...

Around the house
It's NICE OUT SIDE so that means i can start Turing the heater down even more, & we are starting to be better neighbors cause we can hear our neighbors when they are out side & I will go talk to them and just relax. can't wait for it to get warmer!!!!

Mike is going to Utah to start work on the 22nd. Thankfully my Uncle & Aunt are letting him stay with him. Our Land lord wouldn't let us break our lease.. I mean he would but we had to PAY ALOT of money to just break it. So i get to stay behind until our lease ends. I know awesome. Last time we did this ( yes it was only for a week but still it was hard) When he left i had the hardest time falling asleep. I am so grateful he is only going to be 4 hours away. I love him.

yup it's that time

2010-03-05T22:16:00.004-07:00

were moving... well hopefully both of us will be going. depending on if our landlord lets us break our lease with out having to pay and arm and a leg then YES Will be moving. If not Mike will go and I get to stay behind till July when our lease ends.

There are things I will miss... people too.. But there are two people i will miss the most....

I have worked so hard to become almost favorite With Ryan,

( beside Grandma,Mom,Dad,Grandpa,Tiffany,Mike) I've come so close yet so far!

With Whitney, she now wants to come over and have a sleep over.. Maybe cause it's our extra mattress she can jump on and not get in trouble but crap, I'll take that if that means I am once again Close to being favorite....
I'll miss you guys!

I apologize for the small picture. I was looking through my picture's on my computer and I came across this. This was back in Arizona when all of Mike's Siblings were living in Arizona. We came down to Phoenix to Visit. Mike's Mom is known for living in VERY SMALL Studio apartments. Well with all of us there she ran out of sitting. So she deiced to sit on a Tupperware box... you can't see this very well, but she fell in. Every time I see this picture i just can't stop Laughing
Love ya
Retha.. :)

2010-02-20T23:24:00.003-07:00

Emily & I waiting for mike to get down with his Interview. We Barely had time to take the picture.It was done so fast, We still have to wait 7-10 Buisness days to see what's going on.

Me, Mike & Emily at In N Out waiting for our food to be called. Mike was so happy to FINALLY have a In N Out ONLY 3 hours away. It's been along time waiting but he now there is one. I guess we know where we are eating when we go back down

Growing up in California Mike had a many Delicious foods at his Beckon Call. When he moved to Marry the sexist women ALIVE he gave up those foods. thankfully the Food Gods have heard his prayers. There is a Del Taco, Carl's Jr & now a IN n Out in Utah. I think he almost cried when he saw the sign of In N Out.
Here is Emily his baby sister and Him waiting ever to nicely at Del Taco for there food to be called.

After staying up WAY WAY WAY past our bed time. The morning come way to early for mike. He was not happy with me when I had to turn on the lights ( after numerous attempts to wake up pre-light turning on)
