Mr.Nathan and Eathan

The other day Nathan and I watched a neighbors kid while she went to an interview. She has two children Ryliee who is 7 and Eathan who is 5. They always get so excited to see Mr.Nate. So you can imagine Eathans excitment when he got to stay and play with Nathan for a few hours. By the end of it Nathan fell asleep on the couch...its hard to play army men. Eathan had so much fun he didn't want to go home when his mom came for him....can't wait to have one of our own! Nathan will make a good daddy!

Alive and Kicking...

There has been a lot of changes in the past couple of months..... We moved! yay! and we love it! The only bad part is that we have to take the dogs out instead of letting them into a backyard however they and I have adjusted.

Work is fantastic, I am now working for A Chiro in Tempe and loving it. the clients there are really fun. Nathan is doing extremly well, working hard and I am truly thankful for him.

I am trying to find my camera cords...for both digitals to upload the pictures of the move and our new life.

Our favorite activity is taking Riggins to the dog park, He loves meeting all the other dogs and we enjoy chatting with the other owners. buddha doesn't get to go very often because as we all know he really isnt a dog and doesnt care for actual "dogs."


alright I guess thats all for now... i will update when I find the cords...or I might have to go buy new one..Ugh!

Heres Whats New in The Stafford House...

Well, I think my last post was after Thanksgiving....

December I went through my LaStone course(hot and cold stone massage) It was so cool. I am really excited about educating people on this particular massage. I was working for a chiro office. The girl I was temping for came back right after the holidays so now I am at home again.
I am packing the house for our move at the end of February.... I am a terrible mover.LOL.!! So I have to start now.
Our Christmas was good. We spent Christmas Eve with my parents and the Christmas day with Nathan family. Nathan got a Keyboard(I should say that we are really bad about getting our gifts early.... his real gift was a laptop he bought at the beginning of December...for the business, he says...just ask him!!LOL!) I got Diamond earrings, I was really surprised...because I too had gotten what I thought would be my gift a week before Christmas..... I got my Hot and Cold set of Stones.
New Years was quiet for us... I made Chicken enchiladas with rice and beans and then Chinese cheesecake...yummy. We watched the Trueblood marathon on HBO.

We are downsizing for a year.... So we will be moving into a condo... which means one of the dos(Dexter) found a fantastic home, I searched hard for the people who took him and I get regular updates. So I am okay with that. We are excited for what lies ahead of us in the next year... hopefully we will buy a house at the end of it.

I am really looking forward to this year... I have a motto for each year and this year its Motivation... which means all aspects of my life. I am finally starting to see what I was missing in so many areas. Nathan has been really patient with me and letting me go the route of trial and error for the past 3 and a half years. Another one of my goals is to take more pictures just of our day to day life.
Not to much is going on in January... I am just so excited the cardinals are doing so well..... Nathans dad and his brother have there birthdays coming up.
This is it fr now and I am going to have pictures for my next post!LOL!

I hope....

Everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! We did. The day started out by going to Nathans parents house in Buckeye. His ssister was driving in from California for the weekend. We only stayed until about 2 and then we drove out to my parents in East Mesa. We ate dinner with them and watched the game. Kassidi came home with us.. we love having her she makes life interesting. On Saturday we are going back to Nathans Familys house to make Tamales.

Brief update.... Nathan is in his busy season right now and is working dawn til dusk. I am working for a chiropractor and loving it. I am taking my first CE course next week... I will be able to do hot and cold stome massage, I am really excited. Other than that December shouldn't be to exciting! work work work. I don't know if the dr I am working for will keep me on once the other girl comes back from her surgery.... If not its okay I would like to get a job closer to home... and not drive out east everyday.

Thats all for now.. The Kassidi is wanting to go do something fun.....hmmmmm how to entertain a 10 year old....

November.......

This is such a great month to reflect upon the past year and realize.... all the stuggles and craziness are worth it. I am thankful for Nathan who is a strong person when I need it most. I am thankful for my dogs...they drive me crazy however I love all of them. I am thankful for family...............

Now on to the borning updates
Nathan is busy working, I started my job with a chiropractor...its a temp position and its for 6 weeks. The hours are good and I love working only monday thru friday. The day spa I was hired at turned out to be extremely lame. I was all set to start work and realized they had never gone over pay or hours with me.... I asked them to sit down and talk to me and was avoided, so I called and no one called back for 2 days and then they wanted to sit down and talk....hmmmmmm interesting.

Nathans sister Kim will be here for Thanksgiving, I think we are going to make Tamales that saturday. We are going to spend thanksgiving at home by ourselves this year. and who knows about christmas.... I get stressed having to divide the time so we haven't made a decision yet.

I love the weather... I am thankful for goose down comforters... I know Nathan is because I sleep with the windows open and some nights he thinks he ill freeze!

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!
