Back to December

 Jason ~ Dec 24 2011

Jason arrived home late December 23 2011 and was home for 5 days.  I'm still very thankful I got to spend Christmas with him.  He surprised me with new IPhone 4s' for both of us.  To say I was surprised is an understatement!  He's the best!  We had Christmas dinner with my SIL's family.  Overall we had an awesome Christmas. 

My husband and I are nerds. 

When he comes home we add his truck TV to the room so we can game together. 

Dr. Gianna ~ Dec 27 2011

Gianna got a doctor play kit for Christmas and she loves the thing. 

Let's try this blogging thing again

The last 12 months have been crazy and I think the thought of writing about it kept me away for so long.  Not sure what it was this morning but my mind just kept thinking about blogging.  First I was just gonna check to see how long it had been since I last blogged {212 days ago}, then I got looking at "My Peeps" and their blogs, next I was online looking at blog backgrounds, and next thing I know I've got this urge to post some pictures and talk about life.  Let's try this blogging thing again, shall we?

Jason and I ~ Feb 13 2012

I heart Guy

When Jason and I went up to Sp0kane for his work training we ate at a restaurant that was featured on Diners,Drive-ins,andDives.  We loved it and will defiantly eat there again.

Sorry it's been so long

April 2011, my living room & garage ceiling collapsed.  My landlord's "handy man" took from start to finish 4 months to replace my roof and repair my ceilings.

Where do I even begin...

20 days ago Jason and I left for Sp0kane.  We were going because he had gotten a job.  His training was Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and we thought he would be leaving Thursday.  Long story short he officially left for the road on Sunday April 10.  He'll be out for 4 weeks then home for 4 days.  I miss him like crazy!  We talk everyday which helps.  Sometimes it's for 2.5 mins and sometimes it 18 mins.  I love love love every second and I look forward to that call all day ♥ 
I can't wait to see him!

 24 days ago I lost my job.  C.R.A.Z.Y.!  Things had been so extremely slow and had been for a while.  My dad finally talked to us and after all was said and done my brother and I both were laid off.  Sad day.

8 days ago I found out that my dad has gotten a new job and will be closing his business.  I'm sad that he's closing the shop down but I'm extremely happy that he got such a good job.  I also found out that this new job is in Kansas City!  I don't even know what to say, I'm so sad that I won't be able to see my family whenever I want.  And I will be the first one to say that I defiantly took advantage that my family was 15 mins away yet I NEVER visited them and for that I regret everyday now.  I love my family so much and that's why it hurts so much.  I wanna be selfish and throw a fit (like it would do any good =) but I know that this is a good thing for them and we all have to take care of our own families in order for our entire family to make it.

I'm not gonna lie, life is hard these days.  Some days are better then others and believe me I know the worst has yet to come but I also know that I have the best days still to come.

Trukin' along

Life has been crazy in our household lately.  We've got new; some big, some good, and some bad.

I'll be back to tell more.... in about a week.   

Until then enjoy this picture of the cupcakes I made Jason's class last month. 

They were delish!  You should defiantly make them.
