Surviving...

I don't even think a little diet Dr pepper with some caffeine could help me right this moment. This last week has been crazy. Riggins is home from the vet.... yay! However this means sleeping downstairs and getting up with him every two hours to monitor him when he uses the bathroom. Nathan has been fantastic though, he gets up with him all night long... someday he will make a great daddy! Riggins is starting to eat more... Thank goodness. However right this moment he won't eat anything besides boiled chicken.

I got a job... something I wasn't actively pursuing, however here i am. I will be working at the Healing Arts day Spa in Chandler/Mesa. Exciting I know. I went to the first staff meeting last night. I really like the owners, they just have something about them. It will be good for me to use my craft more. I am once again excited about the learning I can continue to recieve... there are so many different areas I want to get certified in.

Lets see what else... my grandma is still in the hospital, don't know when she will be getting out.

Other than that I will find out more of my work schedule today...... luckily they din't have sunday hours!

Riggins

Nathan and i were talking about when we first brought Riggins home... he was so freaking cute and then he turned into this huge beast...LOL! I would take the beast back in a heart beat... I miss him and all of his naughty ways!

Riggins... Aka Piggy Riggy

It was a tough day yesterday... Riggins started not feeling well two nights ago. We thought he ate a bad bug(He eats everything). Yesterday morning he started throwing up. i went to the store later in the day and got him some gatorade a a piece of chicken to boil. I had to take him to the vet... he has parvo. He will be with the vet until monday.. we are hoping he will pull through.... we bleached everything and are hoping the others don't get it.... so far so good.

October Happenings....

i love the month of October... the weather is getting cooler.. .which means my AC bill is going down and I LOVE Halloween. It is my favorite Holiday. We usually go over to my Uncles house. Nathan takes my sister Kassidi and some of the other cousins(brave man it generally is 3 to 4 little girls) around by himself. Well i sit at the house with my mom and pass out candy and generally we make the kids work for it... they have to show us a trick and impress us to get the candy.
Lets see what else our monthly family dinner with Nathans family is this Saturday that is always a nice time. I need to start working on Christmas presents... cause go figure I am trying to make everything...LOL! if you know me you know I am not crafty. So I apologize ahead of time! I am going to start working at the two home Depot stores we are assigned to, that will be an adventure... I am going in to work out all the kinks so hopefully we can get an employee in there within the next few months! I have been answering our business line for almost a week, thanks to all the customers who are so patient with me! LOL! and Thank you Nathan for trusting me! So if you want me you have to call Nathans phone and if you want him you have to call mine.... I know its all crazy.
We are working on training the dogs, stimulating there minds more... the pit bulls need it, so we are walking them and making them walk on the treadmill. Dexter did REALLY well for it being his first time last night! Riggins now gets on it with no leash! YAY! We are working with the Yorkies on barking when someone comes to the door. So far they do okay... its just all repetition.
For the rest of the day i am running around... to the hospital, grocery shopping and the bank. That's if i get off the computer... which doesn't seem to be happening. I am so tired yesterday Nathans first job was at 630...EW! Who schedule that...oh yeah me! luckily he had a short day he was done by 2. Today his first job was at 730... he did that to himself. and today might be a little longer. My Grandma is on the phone so i better go check on her!!!

Just Breathe

I don't ever really just take the time to show how grateful I am. Right now I am feeling so blessed. It is so nice to know that even when I am imperfect, God still loves me and answers my prayers. I am thankful that I have Nathan who is slot stronger than I am in certain areas and he allows me to lean on him when I need to and use his faith as my own. I am grateful that he is a hard worker and loves what he does.

I just wanted to sit down and and share that i know of my Heavenly Fathers love for each of us and i know that if I strive for the good things life has to offer it will be mine. I am so thankful for the Atonement and that it allows me to be imperfect and it makes me want to live so that my life reflects how I want to be.
