Thanksgiving weekend 08

Well we had a long weekend I thought it would never end. All we did was go, go, go. We went to Roy's family for Thanksgiving Dinner. It was great. We then went to see my family. So we could make a plan of attack for Black Friday!!! We went to the sales on Friday at 3:30 in the morning and that was such an adreline rush. We got everything that we went for which is awesome. Sometimes you can't get everything. Later on Friday we went to cut Christmas trees with Roy's family. Then we went home until we left to go to the festival of lights. That was a very busy day then Saturday we went to the USU football game. Can I just say they did AWESOME they won 48 to 2, Can you say Blow out:) Sunday was a church and Family day. Finally I got home on Sunday and crashed.

Here are some pics of christmas tree cutting.

Roy

The man I love!!!

Yes, this is my wonderful husband. I caught him when he wasn't paying attention. Surprise!


As you can tell he is a good sport and loves to ham it up for the camera. Usually only when he is with his family. Because he knows they will still love him.

All I asked was for him to get me my purse, and instead I get my purse and some insight to his other side.

He loves to snowboard now that he knows how.

Oops! There is another pictures of his other side! Like I said he is the biggest ham when it comes to the camera.

Basically,he is a great guy with a great sense of humor.

That's why I love him!

My First Concert!!!

MY FIRST CONCERT!!!

Roy and I went to a concert down at the Usana Amphitheater. Let me just say it was great. It was my first concert. I was nervous because I thought I would be out of place, but it turned out that I fit right in. I got to see a bunch of bands that I like: Ludo, 10 years, Trapt, and Hawthorne Heights to name a few.

This is Ludo, they were great. I hope I will get to go to there concert in Nov in Salt Lake:). (Hint Hint Roy)

This is trapt singing Headstrong. It sounds so much better to hear it in concert.

And this is Hawthorne Heights. They sounded terrific.

I guess you could say that I was kind of star struck with all of the bands I got to see.It was a great weekend.

Summer 08

Well now that our summer is about to an end. I will be going back to work soon. So no more sitting at home doing nothing. I am way excited about going back to work with the kids at school.

Our Summer has been full of family fun and personal enlightenment. We also did a lot of boating! FUN,FUN,FUN!!!

We started our summer off with a camp out on Memorial day, with Roy's sister and her family. We call each other our camping buddies!

In June we got to go to Texas and see my family for a reunion.

We had a blast. I got to hang out with some cousins and do the family thing it was great.

At the end of June I went to girl's camp. That was an adventure. But I loved every minute of it. I love working with the girl's in my ward. They are by far the best example to me they make me so proud.

July was full of another reunion, derby's, movies, and a rodeo.We went to the Rawlins Reunion we go every year and love it. We get to see family, hang out and visit. Roy went fishing with his cousins and he really enjoyed it.

We love the derby season and hate to see it go every year, but I know that when it is leaving it is time to get ready for Football Wahoo!!! We love the movies in summer it gets you out of the heat and into the theater were it is cool and you get to see a great blockbuster. Rodeo was ok we go every year to That Famous Preston Night Rodeo. We went to the carnival this for the first time and I got Roy on one of those rides the Gravitron. It spins you so fast, it's great. I loved and not to sure of what Roy thought!

And then there was August, We had a family camp out that was great I really enjoy spending time with Roy's family. They are all so close and I love to be a part of that. We have however had kind of a rough August. We decided to adopt my neice after about a 6 month long process of deciding whether or not to do it. We finally decided to go through with it and my sister came back and is totally against the idea. So basically we have decided to call off the adoption for now, and maybe forever. It was one of the hardest things I have had to do. I really love my neice with all my heart and only want what is best for her. Anyways we will keep you up to date on this process but right now it has been stopped.

About Me!

There is not much to say that I haven't already said. I love my husband, I really lucked out with him he is so supportive and caring. We don't have any kids (yet). We have one dog Turbo who is a Husky/Malamute. We live in Preston Idaho. Waahoo!! This is a very small town and nothing much to do here. We have been married 8 years.

We love to travel!!! We go somewhere every year for our anniversary. We have been to California twice, Las Vegas Twice, Washington to see family, The Caribean twice the western and southern part. We have been to the rainforest which was awesome. We have been to a lot of states over the years we are hopeing to go to all the states. So far we have been to 11 and have a lot more to go. We travel by boat, car, and plane. We love to cruise that would be our fav.

I am a collector I collect a lot of things first I collect bears. Plush, figurines, pictures you name it I probably have a bear for it. I collect magnets which I get from every place we visit. I have tons of them on my fridge. I also love things with wolves on them. I do do other things beside collecting. I love to Scrapbook when I am in the mood. I love Sports my fav is basketball. I guess I like sports so much because of my brothers and uncles. I also love to go boating. I am starting to like camping with family.

Here is my family. I am the oldest of 7 kids.
From left to right top row: Matt, Jeff, Roy, Me, Brandon, Sean. Seated: vickie, Haylie, Dad, Kaeden, Mom, Victoria. I am sure there will be more to join in the near future. We'll see

Southern Carribean cruise

We love to vacation!!! We have been to a lot of different place and plan to go to even more. Roy and I have been married 8 years and gone somewhere great every year. We are planning a trip to Hawaii and Europe in the up coming years.

This is us in St. Thomas in March of 2008.

Here we are in the rainforest on the island of Dominica.

Again on Dominica, at the Emerald pool waterfall. We hiked into the rainforest to get to the waterfall.

Roy and I at Fort El Morro in Puerto Rico. We spent 3 days there, It was Awesome!!!

This is were they held the prisoners in the San Cristobol Fort also in Puerto Rico. Roy always wanted to know what it was like to be behind bars. It wasn't as fun as he thought.

This is Antigua. It was a small island but had a beautiful view.
