Mesa Temple

On Friday Nathan only had one job in the morning so we went to lunch and then to walk around the Temple. It was a lot of fun. Nathan had never seen The Testaments, so we asked if we could watch it and they set it up. he loved it as did I. It was really nice to go and walk around, it helped remind us of our goals. Here are some pictures of our outing!














This week is going to be exciting! LOL! We are going to New mexico to see my dad, just a quick trip. We are thankful for my in laws who are watching the little yorkies while we go!!

Patio

Nathan and I are renting a house for 6 more months! The patio wasn't very well taken care of in the backyard so we decided to stain it! It looks really pink in the pictures but it isn't that bad, and the rocks have the same color and the house has a tinge of pink. here are the pictures of how it turned out

INK!!!!! EW!

So one once upon a time.... Nathan and I were taking a nap and Riggins decided he wasn't tired. he found a pen and started to chew on it. On my over stuffed chair in the living room.....GRRR! Well Nathan and I went downstairs and not realizing he sat in the chair smearing the ink on th cushion and the arm. After cleaning the ink off his leg. He went to his van and got his spot extracter and his ink remover he uses for work! Wahooo, no more ink on my chair! This stuff works so well!

Rainstorms...and furniture

SO I got bees yesterday and painted all my furniture black... it made me VERY happy. Well I started with our sofa table which our TV sits on. and I painted it on the carpet... witha sheet under it. Against my husbands better judgemnet, although I swore I would not get any on the carpet.... a few spots, pretty good for me! He was impressed and its a good thing he can clean my carpet. Anyways, when Nathan got home from work yestrday he moved my coffee table outside for me to paint... where us the trust! LOL! I painted the top and then made dinner, after that I told him you better mover the table back in I think it will rain, he said are you sure. He moved it in and within 30 minutes it started pouring. I love the rain, I love to get wet. So I opened the front door and ran out. Nathan followed so we played in the rain for a while. After we came back in a dried off I finished painting the coffee table and my two huge mirrors.
I am so thankful for Nathan and I am so blessed to be married to such a guy who will go play with me in the rain, he is my best friend.

Today his friend from Tucson is here, and I got my yorkies groomed today! So cute! I will take pics and post them, tomorrow he works... and Sunday church. So we have a very exciting weekend planned! LOL!

Memories..........

I am going through my boxes... finally and getting rid of a lot of stuff. i can be a bit of a pack rat at times! Last night I came across some pictures so I thought I would post it.

When I was 16 I met the most amazing 3 people ever. We all had different personalities but we always had a great time together. Some nights we just drove around, others there was always a savers or a walgreens, we wore crazy red lip stick.
We named ourselves the Odd Quad, the only number for us was 23, it was always grr baby grrr or Oh Billy. We were Bambi(The not so nice one), Barnubus(The Cool Confident One), Mildred(The Sweet Hot One) and Ginger "Snap"(The Sassy Fierery One).

I miss hanging out with theses girls! I love them all and I am thankful that they touched my lives! Now we are all grown up and Mildred has two beautiful children... Barnubus is a teacher and happily married, Bambi is a Massage Therapist.... and Ginger passed away.....always in my heart never forgotten!

Just was thinking about things this morning.........

Birthday.....

Yesterday was my birthday... it started off really nice, Nate let me sleep in just a little...Then I got up showered and put on my new shirt that he got me, it has the #82 on the back... Nathan took the day off to be with me.

After we got around we went and picked up my grandma, it is her birthday too. Her and I always got to lunch together. The funny thing is she was born on a friday the 13th and so was I. We went to Olive Garden, that has become our bi weekly restraunt to go to together. We had a lot of fun. Nathan got to her the story of how I was concieved, when she knew my mom was pregnant and my life up to this point. We then went back to her house and opened gifts. She made me a pillow for my reading chair and some dish towels... I love them so way cute! We got her some plates that are really light weight so they will be easy for her to use and we also got her a oven that fits on her countertop, because her normal oven just broke. The smaller one will be better though because it won't heat up her house like the big one and she only cooks for her and her roommate. Then we sat and talked I sprayed water all over Nathan because he kept trying to go to sleep.

After we came home abd watched a movie relaxed, Nathan asked where I wanted to go for dinner but I dodn;t want to get ready, so I ended up with peter Piper Pizza...yummy Carbs! It was a great day!

I love sharing my birthday with my Grandma, she is an amazing lady. Over the course of my 26 years I have lived with her off and on... I am thankful for her and I hope to share many more lunches with her.

I also got from my brother in law..... Nathan had made a big mess in my living room.... and Eric cleaned it up for me! Thank You Eric!
