Memorial Weekend

Nathan decided he needed to get away... and when he needs that I benefit from it! We went up to Flagstaff and spent Saturday and Sunday. We had a blast. Nathans fantastic parents took the two yorkies. So we decided to see how Riggins would do. We walked around downtown Flag. I was honestly amazed at how many people cam up to Riggins and wanted to love on him. Being the big mean pit bull that he is..... LOL! We took Riggins out into the forest and let him run, he does really well at staying by us at all times.

On Monday we went to Sedona. I love that place. We walked Riggens around there too. He got to go in Three Dogs Bakery and get a specialty treat. We found out while we were up North that poor Riggins is allergic to wheat, so he is now on a wheat free diet.


Its been a long week. I am ready for this weekend. We are going to go to the movies and just have a nice relaxing weekend

Utah Trip...

I finally got the pictures off of my digital camera so here are a few from our fabulous week in Utah

EveryOne Else Is Doing it...

I am going to make this blog private. It just seems like the right thing. I am a semi private person.... so I only want to share with certain people and not the whole world! LOL! If you want to keep in touch let me know with your email address. i will be going private within the next week.

3 Years...and 30

Yesterday was our 3 year anniversary.... its crazy to think we have been together that long. I had a fantastic day. We got up and went to breakfast at Craker Barrel, One of Nathans Favorite restraunts. Then we drove up to Scottsdale Fashion Square to go to Fossil. i wanted to get Nathan a new watch. He suprised me by getting me a watch and some sunglasses(I am obssesed with sunglasses.) We came home and watched a movie and lounged around until about 6, We then got all dressed up and went to Dnavans Steakhouse.... It was so good. I now know why people like to eat at those restraunts they cater to your every need, including valet service. We had, yummy bread, Cesar Salad, Bacon Wrapped Scallops, Nathan had Fillet Minon with garlic smashed potatoes and veggies and I had New York Strip with garlic smashed potatoes and veggies and most of it came home with me. Then they surprised us with a strawberry creme brulee as an anniversary treat. We had a fantastic time just being together the whole day.



Nathan also turned 30 yesterday... he is still adjusting to that. All day he kept saying I am really not this old.... haha!



The last couple of weeks have been really tough. My grandpa fell and broke his hip, and my grandma who is a dyalisis patient has been in and out of the hospital for a blood infection. Its been alot of running around. My Aunt had her baby Boy on Monday, he is too cute. I think they named him Ryan. Thats all thats new in our home for now.

Weeks....

I haven't posted in forever. We have been crazy people for the last month.

In April we went to Logan for a week, it was cold and the hotel was horrible. We took all three dogs.... fun stuff. By Wednesday I had enough of them so I took the Yorkies to get neutered. I know its strange however it gave me a day away to go shopping. Plus, They were really calm for the duration of the trip and the drive home.
We went through Manti on the the trip home, I have always said that is where I wanted to get sealed. Nathan had never been there and he always thought I would give in and get sealed in the Mesa Temple. Well once he was there he understood why I love this Temple, there is just something about it. So when we get sealed we will be going to Manti. Hopefully it will be within the next year and a half.
On the way back we stopped in Vegas... My dad and his wife were there celebrating their 21st wedding anniversary. I haven't seen or talked to my dad in a year so it was nice to catch up a little. What I should tell you at this part is we left on a Saturday morning(the trip is about 12hrs...but when you have dogs that have to pee it turns into 14hours, and the medicine the vet gave the Yorkies gave them the runs.....so when they started whining we had to stop.) Nathan was supposed to set the alarm for 4:45am because I wanted to leave early and get home at a decent time, well I woke up at 7am and I asked Nathan why the alarm didn;t go off, He said it must have died. So we left way later than I wanted to. About a week ago we were laying in bed and he turned to me and said I shut my phone off on purpose when we were in Logan, He said he was just to tired and wanted a little bit more sleep. GRR!

Other than that Buisness is going really well, We are just organizing the office. I made Nathans new invoice which hopefully will be printed soon.
Our 3rd Anniversary is in a week, Nathan says he has something planned but won't tell me...... he doen't usually do anything like this so it should be fun.

It feels like April ran away from me this year.... However I did come up with new perspectives in my life... right now I am all about Change!

Almost 2 years ago....

This image is of me on the way to the hospital right after I got hit....

I was putting our ab lounge away... and I didn't take out on of the elastic straps so it sprung back and hit me in the mouth...... lets back up a little I had just been out of braces for a little less than a year and I was crazy about my teeth. I was working for a dentist at the time.... he was a jerk... anyways he gave me antibiotic but never did the root canal on my front tooth, so far I have been very lucky that it hasnt got infected, I quit working at the dental office in order to finish Massage School. Well tonight at 3:55 I woke up and my face is swollen and hurts like no other. I feel like someone is punching me in the face. :uckily we have Dental insurance.... we just signed up fpr Medical and Dental last month....great plan Major Medical and Dental for both of us its like 180 a month. Anyway I am just up and hurting waiting for a dentist to open, I know of one on Ray and Rural, I worked for him a while ago and I think he will call me in an antibiotic to knock out the infection, and get it taken care of once and for all.... I will need 2 root canals and 6 crowns to get it all complete. Yay me!

Recovering.......

Its been a week or so since I have updated the blog.... we have been so busy lately. We got moved.... most of our stuff is still in the garage...Nathan had the flu all through the move. I came down with it the day we moved. not fun. However we did make it through. I am happy to be in Ahwatukee, its better on gas for Nathans van and I like how accessible everything is.

Since we moved we have been recovering from the flu and then last weekend we went and painted my grandmas living room and dining room areas... it was hard work, we finshed about 145 in the morning. She loved the colors(a peach color on an accent walll and a very pale yellow on the walls)

I am supposed to be unpacking along with a whole list of other things that I am not in the mood for. Last night we took the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood, they did really well considering we never walk them.

I am trying to come up with some ideas for my in laws 40th wedding anniversay gift... any ideas???
