Yesterday and the Day Before......

The past couple of days have been hard. Some may call me crazy about how I am with my animals. I chose to have them so I take care of them. Its really is as simple as that.

My cat Ji de had an appointment to get spayed. I would never have done this but when she is in heat it drives us nuts. Tuesday i woke up late which is rare because the dogs generally have have me up by 6:45-7. I got up at 730 and had to get Ji De down to the clinic by 8. We got dow there and there was a lot of people ion the waiting room.... fun dogs and cats.I fiilled out the paperwork.... this is where it all goes wrong. Eventually we meet with the vet tech and the vet for an exam. They didn't find anything so Nathan and I went home. I was feeling guilty any kind of surgery is just icky.

We could go and get her between 4 and 5 pm. We were down there right at 4. Nathan was on a phone call so I went in they gave me her pain meds told me the price and I said Thats fine(my mistake). I got Ji de and walked to the car... feeling worse because she was so out of it. I drove and Nathan asked how much it was so I told him and he said thats not right so he looked at the bill and they had charged us for a pregnancy. He called them.(lets back up a minute She is an indoor kitty only.... sometimes she gets to go into the backyard supervised..... how this happened we still don;t know.) and the girl on the phone said oh she was pregnant. Nathan asked her why she didn't tell us this when we picked her up and she said most people don't want to know. Me already feeling bad for taking her in for surgery started crying. Nathan asked to talk to the doctor who wasn;t there of course. So we went back down there...... they missed it durning the exam... it was an accident however they shouldn't have missed it. and if we had known we never would have done it(mind you I don't want kittens.....) the girl said the doctor would call us the next day... never happened. So Nate is going to call today. And` yesterday she was still so out of it, until about midnight then she started to act more like herself.

During all of this "fun" on Tuesday I got on the Az Massage Board Website and My license went through... yay!!! Way excited and just thankful for it to be done. I have my first interview on Friday morning!!!

Thats all I have for now. hope everyone else had a good week!

I Kinda Like Him.....

The past two days I have gone to a few jobs with Nathan. One was a beautiful empty house in Tapestry Canyon, and the other was just to drive him to Queen Creek. He is really good at was he does and always tries to make sure he leaves the home perfect. I have gotten to know a different side of him. Which I think we all have at work.. I tend to be way more organized when I am at an office then when I am home. He is just thoughtful. Sometimes I am not as patient as I should be with him. Its fun driving around and laughing with him, I always know how to make things a little bit more interesting. I am just so thankful for him and how many blessing I have come upon because he is in my life. He always tries to give me what I want... and I need to think about him more.


Other than that it was a pretty boring week, I bought a lot of fabric at JoAnns thinking I am going to be creative soon. This weekend we are going to see my grandma out in East Mesa and who knows maybe I will clean the upstairs..... haha! I need to get my car cleaned too.

It looks like we are pushing our Utah trip back a few months. I am really excited to go so Nathan wants to be able to spend some time in Salt Lake as well as Logan.

I have dishes to do before Nathan gets home. I want to know how to make my blog all cute. Anyone??

The Last Few Years

May'05-Oct '05- We lived with Nathans roomate... that was fun

Oct'05-Aug'06- We lived in a 1 bedroom Apartment....We got a Yorkie puppy in December(Buddha) In January i started Massage School, Celebrated our 1 year anniversary.

Aug'06-Aug'07- Lived in a two bedroom apartment. Got a pair of siamese kittens for my Bday(Zhong Shi and Ji De) October got another Yorkie(Lincoln). In Febuary '07 Nathan was rebaptized... it was amazing. Celebrated our 2nd anniversary. Finished Massage School.


Aug'07-January'08- Moved to our rental home... Zhong Shi ran away. We took over our carpet cleaning buisness in October(Chemdry By Mr.Finicky 480 759 2122), Nathan is really good at it and enjoys what he does. We got a little pit puppy name Riggins.... we call him three three for short.He is almost three months and has grown like a weed. He out weighs both of my yorkies already. I am awaiting my massage license should be here any day. We are looking forward to going to Utah next month(Febuary) for a class Nathan needs for the buisness. and hopefully instead of critters we might have a baby within the next few years. We are hoping to buy a house in the Ahwatukee area within the next year and a half.

We are loving life and have been so blessed. I wouldn't be where I am without Nathan today. We are looking forward to our future....... This is Year 3!

The When and How

In January of '05 I got on LDS Mingle to find some friends my age(As I was coming out of a long relationship and wasn't looking for a boyfriend.)
On The 17th (This is how nathan tells it) I came across a profile that caught my eye and I sent him a "wink" That said "Your Hot!" ( I think he sent it to me first.)
We began to email eachother and decided we should meet up. On the 21st we met at Red Robin(I made my sister Raechel come with me just in case he was crazy) and then we went to see In Good Company. From there we emailed back and forth. On our second date which was only a few days later I told him we would get married he laughed and said I don't think so. (He had also come out of a long relationship.)

We continued to date through Febuary and March. We loved going to the park and reading a Tale of Two Cities together. Towards the middle of April we decided to take some time apart.
I was going out of town with some friends so on my way up North I stopped by his apartment(looking all good) and gave him some of his stuff back. He asked if he could call me and I replied If I answer I answer. He did call and I did answer.

On May 7th I was at his house getting ready to go to dinner when he looked at me and said I want to marry you. I said Ok. We talked to his roomate at the time because I would have to move in there once we got married he was okay with it.

I was working at Lowes and Nathan was at Home Depot at the time and he had the 13-15th off, so we decided on the 13th(which is also Nathans Birthday.)

I had to work that morning so we were planning on going to the Justice of the Peace after I got off. Well I left early and got home at 12. Our ceremony was at 4. We arrived at the courthouse at 3... I thought that the Scottsdale courthouse would have a place to get our license..... no they didn't. the closest place was Mesa. It was the begining of rushhour. Nathan was upset because I didn't check it before and was like we aren't getting married today... I said yes we are get in the car.It was 3:30 when we started driving to Mesa. I got us there be 3:45(don't ask how) driving the speed limit. And yes traffic was horrible. When we got to the Courthouse in Mesa we were the 5th people in line to get the license... I told Nathan to start bribing people..he didn't but we had a good laugh.The line went really fast and I called the courthouse in Scottsdale and they said if you are here by 4:45 we can still marry you today. It was 4:20 when we left Mesa. Traffic was worse. I got us there by 4:45... We got married and spent the weekend at the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful.
