It's Been a While

I was thinking the other day how I miss reading everyone's blogs and getting updates that way...it seems facebook has become the new blog but I don't like it as much. I just had my computer crash and I am praying that I didn't lose all the data on it cause I of course procrastinated and didn't get that external hard drive to safe everything on and all my pictures are on that thing....I've going to be so sad if it's all gone. All the other crap I can deal with but pictures tell the story of my life and they help bring back memories. I am hoping they are still there and I need to get out and get that external hard drive so next time it happens and you know it will I will be ready and not so stressed.

DECEMBER 2010

Well it's been since August that I updated my blog and not a whole lot has happened as far as big exciting trips and such but we did have a wonderful Christmas. Everyone except for Randy (as he was out serving our country under the ocean) came to Idaho for Christmas and Nick's homecoming. It was awesome and every time we get together I am reminded of just how awesome my family is and how much I love them and am so glad mom and dad had lots of kids so I could have lots of built in friends and people that love me. We took family pictures and need to figure out a good way to photoshop Randy in there so we are complete. We had lots of fun while everyone was here. We played tennis, basketball, Doug put together a minute to win it competition which was great until Keegen fell off the stage and broke his collar bone, games at home, talks, lights at the botanical gardens...we had lots of fun and it always goes so fast. It wasn't too bad saying goodbye this time cause we all knew we'd see each other the beginning of February for Ryan and Haley's wedding.

WORK

I was asked at work to take a new position. It's always a little scary and intimidating to take a new job but after much consideration and talks with many I decided it sounded like something new and challenging but would also give me more time at home to be mom (much to Alyssa's dismay, it's funny how they get older and don't want you around). I started the job I think the end of January and it's been going pretty good. It's kind of nice only working 40-45 hours a week and I've actually cooked a few meal now days...been out of practice for a while.

BEST THING IN 2010

One day while I was at the store getting some eggs and milk I was on my way back to my car not really paying attention cause it was a nice sunny day in July and I was feeling pretty good when a rogue shopping cart apparently was headed straight for me. Out of no where this incredibly handsome and strong man runs straight at the cart and moves it away just as it was about to hit me. As I heard the commotion and turned around I lost my balance and started to fall....fell right into the arms of my hero. It was amazing and one of those stories that no one would believe if it hadn't actually happened to me.

I am a terrible writer, even worse story teller and even worser (yeah I know it's not a word but it should be) liar. So now for the truth.

I met Spencer last July and am extremely happy. The story is a little different yes but he still is my hero. He makes my world a better, happier place and I am lucky to have met him. As far as details...those are for my journal and for my eyes only. :O) As Alyssa says "Aren't we cute"

That the last few months in a glance. I decided I need to get some of my thoughts and updates on here so when my computer goes down hopefully blogspot will not and I'll have some memories left
