Crazy times in Crazy Places

So today was defiantly a blogworthy day. It was INSANE around the office. Let's see... where to start, where to start...

First i was in a bad mood. My boss said something and although he meant well it got under my skin. We had a meeting in the morning and i was SURE i was going to get fired. The only meeting i've been to someone almost got fired so i was for SURE iwas getting fired. Well i didn't, and actually they brought me in there to discuss things that would help me do my job :)

Second we had a CRAZY man come in. Literally 7 feet tall. He started telling me this story about how the shrink wrap we use to wrap our SOTP (Sex Offenders Treatment Program) Manuals ate through is brand new harley davidson shirt and pants! For real? You REALLY think we are going to believe that?

So i ask the boss what to do and he gave him the manufacturer's number. The guy got mad and brought the shirt in, had me RUB the shirt with the shrink wrap and said he was going to come back in an hour and show me what it did. Me, thinking he's crazy rubbed it on my LACE shirt and told him if it ate through either one we would pay him back. He came back two hours later and sure enough, both shirts were perfectly fine and sent him on his way. There is a first time for everything. We work with that all day everyday and have no problems.

Third I went shopping at walmart, and usually i falter. I get distracted and by all the things i don't need to buy and then get to tired to buy/remember to buy all the things we need. Especially if i'm on the phone. However, today i was talking to my sister and bought everything we needed on the list AND quite a few cheap but great suprises for david. All of our groceries (including ribs, hamburger, and chicken) were $70 and i did it in twenty minutes! a pretty good cartful!

Fourth, i rented TWO red box movies david and i have been DYING to see. "UP" and "Ice Age, Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

Fifth. I wrote this blog without re-doing it five times!

Today, dispite all the crazy things that happened and the hectic day we had at work i feel so greatful that i have a great home to come home to and such awesome people in my life. Thanks to my love, support system, and best friend David for all that he does. My sister for making me an efficient shoppes (and human being) . And all my friends for all they do for me :)

Whoops!

So last monday was a pretty typical day. Work, dinner, relaxing, talking to my sister. Then David decided he would take myah out, and a few minutes later i hear my name. Kind of odd considering you don't need much help to sit there while your dog runs around on her leash, but i go outside and see david on all fours in the wet FREEZING cold grass asking me to take the dog.

I immediately think that she has jumped on him and had some bad aim, if you know what i mean. So i put the puppy inside and go to get him but he will not move or tell me what's wrong. Apparently, as he told me about twenty minutes later when we finally get him over the car port step and up the steps to our house, he went to hop off the porch and landed in a pot hole created by our little ball of mischief herself!

My poor husband's ankle was HUGE! We figured it wasn't broken but it was sprained pretty good. We had a friend get us some crutches and gave him some pain medicine but the rest of the week everything was on me.

You really don't realize how much of a team effort marriage is until you have to do everything yourself. Cooking, cleaning, shopping, taking the dog in and out, getting him drinks, ice, fixing his bandages, and everything! I am SOOOOOOO thankful that he is back in business (more or less) and able to help me with everything again!

He really couldn't stand the crutches and tried to get off them as soon as he could. Not because he was trying to be tough but he has a pinched nerve and it effects his right arm (shooting pains, tingling, numbness, etc) which happens to be the sprained ankle side too.

I need to start taking better care of this poor guy! Pictures to come

Breakin in the hubby

So i cannot believe that is has been almost 11 months since we got married! It seems so quick. The last couple months have ZOOMED by. I was a little scarred before we got married, not about marriage to david, but just marriage in general. Everyone says the first year is the hardest and that there are a lot of trials and getting used to one another. I haven't seen ANY of that luckily. Being married to David is the easiest, most natural thing in my life. I know there will be hard times in the future but i just thank Heavenly Father everyday for my relationship with David and our time together. He really is great. Lately he's been cooking dinner for me that's ready when i get home! It is such a relief to come home and not have to worry about what to make and what we have and all that stuff.

We were going to go away for our anniversary, but it's on a sunday and he graduates that saturday, so a staycation it is! Any ideas on a way to make it extra special in light of his graduation AND our anniversary would be great! I'm really out of ideas at this point. Or shall i say, have too many to chose from :) I can't WAIT!

Everyone needs to look at this. This is a local family putting on a haunted trail, just for fun. It's a GREAT location and perfect for some halloween fun. Here's the link!

Nesting

So it is only october and i am already in move out mode. I'm ready to go! We still have no idea where we are going with david's job but this MUST be what nesting is like. I just get excited easily, there is no bun in the oven, but it is all i can do to not pack all of our things. David applied for our number one job last week and we won't hear from them for a while, but we could be going anywhere. I am so excited about that! We could be going anywhere from Oregan, to Tennessee, to Maine, to Lexington. The possibilities are endless, and that is what is fun. I can't WAIT!! I'll try to keep this updated on the plans...

Quick Update

So not much is happening in our little lives. David is finishing up school and looking into multiple job opportunities (thank goodness!). We are pretty excited that he has options, even though we have our favorites. I know i am especially excited for him to get done with college because then i get to go! I'm looking into a few different options, but if you have any random recommendations they more then welcome! I'm so indesicive.

Myah is growing up (rather not growing) quickly. She is a crazy puppy but SO calm for a lab. She is such a sweet little girl and we are so happy she didn't turn into a full sized lab. In hind sight a big dog in a small house wasn't a great idea, but she's small so were ok.

Were just excited for new adventures coming up in our lives and can't wait for the change. Can't wait to see where life takes us!

let them eat cake!!

Nothing really big to blog about today. I was just uploading some pictures off my blackberry (that our lovely myah recently ATE while i was in the shower) and saw these pictures of a diaper cake that i made for a guy at work. i was so proud of it and thought it was pretty good for my first one. Although after i made it i got all kinds of tips on how to make the better/easier, so i'll save that for next time.
