b-day x 26 years = ME!

What can i say another year come and gone! And for anyone keeping track...

yes willie JUST turned 25 so that DOES make me a bit older...

Birthday's aren't exactly what they used to be when you were a kid and YOUR whole month was special (at least in our house it was)! I can see how people could dread their birthdays as a sign of getting older, lets face it im officially closer to 30 then 20! HOWEVER i've vowed to myself to get excited about each birthday from now to 90 bc thats one more year of a great life! This year was especially great, full of lots of memories, a little sadness but mostly joy!

I had a great dinner with mine and Willie's fam @ Famous Daves ( it was a little chucky cheesy...but we love their BBQ and Vance loved Wilbur!) Thanks everyone for the special gifts and the text messages, letters, emails and phone calls through out the day!

I had to show my new shirt as well since it is one of Chase's designs and since he is on his mission in New Zealand this was his contribution! Thanks pal, I love it!

Thanks love for the special day! (and just a side note, i have been begging for a new camera lense and willie went out and sold one of his guns and suprised me with the lense for my bday!) i guess he gets some points for that!

memorial day. Vance can WALK!

 

  

   

we took pics for our memorial day and started our summer scripture reading... if we keep on schedule we will be done by september sooo...we will see how that goes. Then we went to dinner with my fam @ los gringos... very exciting i know! But what is exciting is....

....some one learned to walk!!!!

so long fast food

goodbye fast food.  goodbye grease & lard. goodbye processed meat.

I am saying farewell to fast food. If  you see me with a filibertos burrito slap my face b/c im done! Yes I'm guilty i do partake....I even have convinced myself that it's ok since i have learned ways to order "healthy" choices or take off the bun etc. Nope. If it has a drive through window it's off limits! I'm tired of spending money on "food" that makes me feel like crap! convenient or not..... NO MORE FAST FOOD! 

sad news

I just found out this morning that a fellow hairstylist and good friend at my salon husband was killed in a motorcycle accident. I am deeply sad for her and have her in my prayers.  It is instances like this that I remind myself to cherish every day of this life and every moment with my family. How grateful i am to have the knowledge of the gospel in my life. I am so comforted to  know that families are forever and that this life is just a short period but that I will be with Willie and my family for eternity.
