updates..

2009-11-10T21:41:00.000-08:00

I haven't posted in a while... so here's a few updates

We found that our water line had broke on Saturday. We shut off all the water for a couple hours while we tried to find where it was leaking from. and just those few hours, I missed being able to wash my hands! I never realized how much I use water every day until it was taken away. It was hard knowing i only had ONE time to flush the toilet and we didn't know how long until the water was back on. We found the leak but didn't know what to do from there... so we had to call my dad. He's the only one we knew that works on that kind of stuff. It was pretty awkward but I'm very grateful he was so willing to come help. He made a makeshift thing so we had water for the rest of the weekend and he came back all day Monday and Tuesday while we were at work and finished fixing everything. It ended up have 2 leaks but it should all be fixed now. You'd think we would have noticed we had a huge leak by our water bill... but we didn't. its automatic payment so i didnt pay attention to it. We looked it up, it must have started in August and we used about 80,000 gallons of water EACH month since. We have 2 large mounds of dirt in our front yard where my dad filled the holes back in. we just have to fix that and our water leak disaster should be all taken care of.

Other things that have been going on with us...Austin and I have both signed up for classes at UVU. it's took forever but hopefully we have all the paper work in that we need to enroll and for financial aid. I forgot how much time it took to do all those little things and how frustrating it can be. Austin signed up for a class with Kurt which should be really fun for him. The teacher is supposed to love showing the History channel and bringing in his guns to class. He should get along with Auz just fine! I signed up for an accounting class, i'm pretty excited. I need to work up the nerve to ask my boss if they do any kind of tuition reimbursement because i'm taking classes related to my job. My boss is pretty scary! Always very..professional, just very intimidating. I need to sign up for another class but I can't decide which one. I need to take Ethics & Values but I honestly have no idea what that class is about. I tried to sign up for the next math class I need to take but its BARELY been too long, i have to test again! I can't decide what to do! If we would have signed up for this Fall semester, i would have been fine. OH WELL.

I get my wisdom teeth taken out Thursday... random story to go along with that: I got a call from the anesthesiologist (did I spell that right?) today, he left me a voice mail saying "This is so & so, I'll be your anesthesiologist on Thursday, i just wanted to call and see if you had any questions and let you know what will be going on, will you please call me back at this number... and oh if i answer so & so mortuary don't be alarmed. Me and my wife also work for a Mortuary."
KIND OF CREEPY!!! he is an anesthesiologist and works for a mortuary! :S weird. After talking to him i felt better, he's done anesthesiology for over 45 years and talked very highly of my doctor/dentist. I hope all goes well! i am pretty nervous

bummer..

2009-10-07T20:59:00.000-07:00

We just found out Austin doesn't get his GI bill to pay for his college education

we signed up a couple weeks ago, thinking it'd pay for all his school and hoping we'd start in January. Today we got a letter back from the Air Force saying he has to be "active reserve" to qualify, as of December last year he became "inactive ready reserve" so now he gets NO money for school. He had no idea, neither did I.

big time bummer. :(

do you know..

2009-09-14T20:02:00.000-07:00

how to change the setting on blogs that it will show me when my friends posted last?

Happy birthday!

2009-08-16T22:17:00.000-07:00

August has many birthdays; my sis Tina, a few friends, and lots on the parks side--Oliver, kelsey, Jody, tawny, tucson, and Voilet and mine on the same day. But on the 8th of this month was marley's one year birthday! She is our little baby and we love her so much

he's a keeper

2009-06-10T21:35:00.000-07:00

we went riding the 4wheelers the other day, it was dirty & so much fun.

I love this man so much... i am so lucky he picked me :) I never thought I'd marry a man that loved guns, a hunter and camping so much... but I can't get enough of him! we went shooting on Monday with our brother in law Brian, i had a blast the whole time, just listening to them! I even shot Austin's new AR and his hand gun. I am so happy I'm a camping, getting dirty, gun shooting girl... I love everything about my hubby & being with him for eternity.

one year!

2009-04-26T00:04:00.000-07:00

We have been married one year today! it's crazy how fast it's went by, but BY FAR the best year of my life! As Ella would say "I'm glad Austin married you" I'm very glad you married me Auz. I love you so much! You're the best thing to ever happen to me and i can't wait to spend the rest of forever with you.

(Our photographer wasn't there when we came out the temple, so THANK YOU Cortney for being there to take these pictures!)

good news

2009-04-26T00:00:00.000-07:00

My mom and dad went to a councilor this week. I really really hope and pray that things can start getting better. I'm really proud of them for going. I gotta keep being patient and see how it turns out.

moab!

2009-04-25T23:12:00.000-07:00

here's just a few random pictures from our Moab trip. It was a blast and we didn't even break anything! We went with Cortney and his fam. they are a cute little family. He took these awesome pictures.

here is our camp site. we camped the 2nd night there, the first night we couldn't find any open camping spots so we got a hotel. It rained really hard Saturday night but our tent kept us nice and dry so it turned out good. Our hotel was really nice too.

Moab is gorgeous. we like it

Cortney's jeep is the black one, it's pretty sweet. Austin's is the red jeep.. it's also pretty awesome. We love going out in it & it runs really well. double plus!

What a good looking guy. I think i'll keep him. :)

I'm not going to lie, there was a few places that Austin drove up/down that FREAKED me out. I had to get out and walk up

the worst part is

2009-03-30T12:26:00.000-07:00

feeling a migraine coming and no matter what you do, you can't make it stop.

I woke up Saturday with a headache, one of those kind that you get right before a migraine hits, then my thumb and pointer finger went numb. It felt like how your face feels after you've been to the dentist, completely numb and tingly. I knew it was coming fast.

I took some pills & Austin hurried and made me breakfast, if i waited even 5 minutes longer i would have been too nauseated to eat. Then it hit; I laid on the couch as Austin rubbed my head, trying to make me feel better. I couldn't move. If i did my head would throb and then i felt like i would puke. It was not fun at all.

I got out of bed at like 3 o'clock, Austin had worked so hard getting stuff around the house done. He is so good. He even took me to walmart around midnight and bought me Twillight and junk food, we stayed up til 2 in the morning watching it. I am going to keep him :)

I woke up today with that same headache again, not so fun.

Still an all time favorite

2009-03-25T12:26:00.000-07:00

happy day!

Incubus is coming to Utah

7/16/2009 Salt Lake City, UT - Usana Amphitheatre

I hope my hubby takes me ;)

Pergola

2009-03-25T08:20:00.000-07:00

That's right, we got a pergola! I honestly didn't know that is what they were called until this weekend when we purchased one for our backyard.

I think it was a 3 man job to put it together.. but me & Auz tried to do it all ourselves. We put it up Saturday evening, that's when the wind started to blow. It fell over like 7 times before we finally figured out how Austin could to hurry and assemble it while i stood on a chair holding it from falling over. We finally got the hard part done right when some friends came over and helped.

It looks really nice with our patio set and fits perfect on our cement pad. We also got this cute chandelier that hangs from the middle.. oh so romantic!

Now only if it would warm back up so we could go outside!

Who's ready to come over for a BBQ? Austin is AMAZING at grilling! One of the million reasons i love him

2009-03-21T19:27:00.000-07:00

I know I'm well over a month late, but our computer is finally working that i can post these! I came home from work and this is what i found! it was my valentine's day present! beautiful flowers and the chandelier! we used to have this old gross ceiling fan over our dining room table, Austin installed this fancy new one for me & surprised me when i got home! Best present, stuff done around the house :) he's the best!

And this was Austin's Valentine... well not really. When we filed our taxes and found out how much our return would be Austin started thinking of what he could spend that money on... he saw this TV at costco... and if you know austin, you know how if he sets his mind on something... there is NO way talking him out of it. So as my present to him, i just gave him permission to go buy it.

He was so happy at costco! when he is happy, i am happy.

It was so much work to hang a 55' TV on our wall, we have cinderblock walls (our house was built in the 50's) so we had to drill huge holes to put the mount on. All night we listened really close if it was going to fall down, thank goodness it didn't.

It is lots of fun to watch movies on. Austin sure is spoiled.

Random thoughts

2009-03-10T09:29:00.001-07:00

Here's what is running through my head at the moment...

-cow tails are fantastic--thanks for getting us some mom!

-last night i had this crazy dream i had a little baby boy. He was adorable to me but he was kind of ugly because he was just born. it was strange. maybe its a sign I'm prego... or that Ruth is prego!!

-Erin inspired me to get lots done around the house, last night i got all my grocery shopping done! i made a list of some meals & got everything for it. i LOVE having lots of food at home. I cleaned out my fridge, put all the groceries away and cleaned the kitchen! (all but mopping the floor) I love having a clean house!

-we also went to Costco & got fresh flowers, we are going to try to get fresh flowers every month, it makes the house feel so fresh and springy!

- i heard that if you put apple cider vinegar in your flower water it will

help keep them fresh. I bought some last night but it rolled out the car

on to the cement & broke. i ran inside and put what i could save into

another bottle, but while i was doing that i got it on my Hydra Coach-it's a sweet water bottle Austin got me that keeps track of

how much i drink so i don't get migraines! anyway, even though i washed my bottle i can still smell the vinegar on it when i drink. it makes me want to throw up.

-i had such a fun weekend with my hubby! we cleaned so good--we got rid of all our old stuff & the boxes they were in! Austin has lived there a year and I've lived there 10 months but we still had boxes of stuff! it's like we are officially moved in now! ha ha! we love our house though! I especially love it when its all clean :) We also took Marley up to Rock Canyon... she LOVED it and we love hiking.. when we were coming down we heard this really loud sound, looked up and there was some guys cliff jumping, it was the parachute opening, they landed right next to us--in the trees. Marley was spazzing out, it was hilarious--she could see the people in the air but couldn't figure out what they were doing, plus they were so close to us she didn't know what to do with herself. it was a pretty exciting hike.

-stuffing paycheck stubs in envelopes is probably my least favorite part of my job. i have like 6 paper cuts already. ouch!

-i have a few pictures to blog about but i put them on austin's computer... his cord died and eventually the laptop died too. we have a new cord ordered but its not here yet. as soon as it is i will post my pictures.

Mesquite

2009-02-07T21:57:00.000-08:00

Last weekend we went to Mesquite, it was so much fun!! it was a much needed break for me. We stayed down there for 2 night for free thanks to Austin's new job. it was about 63 degrees, SOOO nice! we drove around with the sunroof open & windows down, the perfect getaway weather. We gambled our free $5 and lost it instantly so we decided to go to the arcade, here's my super hot hubby playing a sweet old western shooting game, winning tickets to get me a prize! We also went bowling and took a nap. The perfect little get away.

Oh i love him :)

I look a bit drunk, i'm not--promise!

housework

2009-02-07T21:25:00.000-08:00

Have I ever mentioned how adorable my husband is? I seriously have the best hubby ever. Last week I said we need to mop the floor, I HATE mopping, i'd rather scrub the toilet then mop the floor. 24 was about to come on so we wanted to wait a while & let it record so we could fast forward thru the commercials, so he said lets mop! What a sweet guy. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit it, but the last time I used my mop and bucket, there was no snow outside. (i've used a rag here & there but not full on mop & bucket) I had left them outside on our table. Austin went and put on his rubber boots tromping thru the snow trying to find them. They were frozen to the table! So we couldn't use a mop and bucket. He filled up the sink & put the rags under his feet and scooted along washing the floor for me-that's the 2nd to last picture. The last picture is of us on our hands and knees mopping. He is so cute, I am going to keep him :)

Happiness..

2009-02-02T11:46:00.001-08:00

Happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to deal with them...

I like this quote... I need to remember it.

having a baby

2009-01-26T09:45:00.000-08:00

We could be having a baby right now! We have been married 9 months today! Time really flies by when you are having fun. The past 9 months have been the best time of my life! I am not pregnant by the way...
I couldn't ask for a better a husband! The past 2 weeks have been really emotionally hard for me, my dad has made some really stupid choices that has hurt my family. I have cried almost every night, the hardest part is trying to not be extremely angry at my dad. Austin has been the best support, I have fell even more in love with him going thru this trial and am soo greatful for the power of the priesthood he holds. Thanks for everything auz, you are my everything. I love you!!

Work

2009-01-14T17:30:00.001-08:00

Ken Garff Audi had a competition the day before Christmas, whoever came showing the most Christmas spirit would win a $300 R C Willey gift card, my friend Ruth has been wanting a couch for quite some time and winning would be perfect for her. I don't think i got any work done that day, I keep looking over at her laughing, she won hands down! a few people wore Christmas shirts and one salesman wore a Santa hat. It was so funny. She is such a good sport. Speaking of Ruth & my job... her last day will be Feb 6th, I'm really sad she is going, but really jealous too! She has been such a good friend, we talk thru our little cubicles all day long. But we have both wanted a new job for a long time. I just applied for the perfect job the other day, its with Orem City in accounting, it'd be 5 hours a day and I'd make as much as i do now! I need a change so bad, my current job is just draggin me down. This job sounds awesome, it's work I like to do and the pay is right. I really hope and pray I get it! Or even if its not that one, that I can find one soon before I drive Austin insane. Poor guy has to put up with me when I get home & I'm in my bad moods, he's such a good husband, he always takes such good care of me. Any way I really hope Ruth finds an awesome new job in Lehi! One that doesn't suck so bad! We decided we are going to do a 5K together in the summer! I am really excited to do it! I better start running!

Presents

2009-01-14T17:22:00.000-08:00

This picture didn't turn out very well, of course my battery was dying Christmas morning so i didn't get many pictures and the ones i did get i had to take really fast before it shut down.

I was so excited to give Austin his present, I almost spilled the beans before I was so excited. I need to learn how to keep secrets better. I've been refusing to buy an xbox for months and months, so when i gave it to him it was a big surprise. Now I just need to learn how to get him to stop playing the xbox!

Darren, Celeste and their kids gave Marley a present! it was really cute. she even opened it herself! yummy dogie treats

Our first Christmas

2009-01-14T17:05:00.001-08:00

I know I am late posting these, but better late then never right? We had such a fun Christmas! we spent the night at Austin's parents, the Parks have such fun traditions. I loved every minute of it, all my nieces and nephews are so darn cute! they did the nativity scene. So cute

Addy looked so cute pregnant!

This makes my stomach hurt laughing so hard! they put wigs on Weston & Susie, they looked sooo cute!

he was so proud! he was strutting his stuff!

Santa came to visit too! it was so fun to see the kids get so excited!

Some of the kids didn't like Santa though! ha ha it was so cute & sad at the same time, poor little guy.

so typical..

2008-12-19T21:47:00.000-08:00

this is pretty random but i thought i'd share, i just did a little quiz thing to see what character i'd be from Twillight...

Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!

yes, i'm the mom. I'm ALWAYS the mom. I have the "mom" job, i worry way more then i should and i remember being told--more then once--you're not my mom, leave me alone kinda thing when i was still in high school!

Holidays

2008-12-06T19:45:00.000-08:00

I'm so excited for Christmas this year, our first Christmas married! Austin is a good little decorator. Honestly, it kind of makes me frustrated, he's WAY better then I am! isn't it the wife that is supposed to be all crafty and make everything all cute? I just don't have that skill. He decorated our tree all by himself, he did awesome. He did the mantel too! all we have to get is some stockings to hang and it'll be all complete! Oh and some snow on the ground so we can use our fireplace!!

our baby

2008-12-06T18:56:00.000-08:00

I know I'm way slow posting, better late then never though?

Marley was a pumpkin for Halloween. it was adorable

here she is helping my dad work, riding around in the dump truck. we had our "date night" on Monday, I always have so much fun with Auz, no matter what we do. Austin's new job gives him tons of free things, we got a gift certificate to Brick Oven, very yummy! we found this balloon there so Austin grabbed it and took it home to Marley, he tied it to her tail, it was hilarious. She didn't know what to do! it took like 2 minutes and she popped it. We also saw "Australia" on our date, it was actually really good! a bit long but still really good. I like old western like movies though. Austin is currently gone to Vernal to help his brother build his house, Marley is here with me to keep me company, I have lots of fun with her in the mornings, but by this time at night i'm about ready to pull my hair out! she is still a puppy and likes to push the line... if Austin was here she would be listening much better, but for me, not so much. We have worked really hard to teach her to stay on the tile and not to come on the carpet. When Austin is gone, I think she realizes i'm kind of on edge and she wants to be with me, especially if i'm on the carpet. I have a nice barrier of our kitchen chairs trying to keep her out of the front room. it still isn't helping much. She's adorable and very much worth it, just LOTS of work.

Moral of my story: life just flows MUCH easier if Austin is here!

girls night

2008-12-06T18:53:00.000-08:00

it was a while ago, but here's a picture from girls night. its always random weird fun with those girls.

Austin's Deer

2008-12-06T18:04:00.000-08:00

Warning...this might be a bit gross for some but here it is. Austin finally got a deer this year! An awesome one at that. he shot it with his bow at about 40 yards. its a 6x7 and very old, it had only one molar left.(you age a deer based on the condition of their teeth) Be so proud, i am letting him mount it and put it in our house! I am even going to eat deer meat!

He's such a good little hunter with that bow. I dont know how he can even pull the string back, i can't even budge it!

a day late & a dollar short

2008-10-29T19:45:00.000-07:00

I am way slow posting this, sorry Erin... I haven't forgot about it I just haven't thought of 6 quirks about me, since I'm so perfect and all... right...

The rules are:
to list 6 quirks about yourself and then tag six people.Leave them a message on their blog letting them know they have been tagged.

1. I can't go to sleep if the closet doors are open, it's like the boogy man will come out and get me if they are left open. Austin is getting really good at getting out of bed for me to shut them.

2. I have a routine before i can go to sleep, i have to first take out my contact, second wash my face and third brush my teeth. I try to skip doing them sometimes and no matter how tired i am i just lay there in bed and can't fall asleep until I've done all 3.

3. I don't like the A/C in the car blowing on me, i always have my vent turned off. I think it makes me too cold too fast.

4. I wash my desk a lot, i don't like it when you can see little finger prints on my desk. Too many weird and dirty people work at Ken Garff and come touch my desk.

5. I can't type your if I'm not concentrating, i always type yoru first.

6. I'm not a big fan of loud noise, and Austin LOVES to be as noisy as possible. It makes go crazy some times. I am a quiet little girl, quite the opposite of noisy little boy Austin. (but I still love him!)

back on track

2008-10-29T19:39:00.000-07:00

Austin got a new job, he's now a Cedar Hills city employee working at the golf course as their mechanic. It's a big relief knowing he has a job again. He's been working really hard and likes it so far. Best part is since he's a city employee he gets AWESOME benefits. I'm proud of him for working so hard to provide for his family :) I hope all his buddies from Sleepy Ridge find a good job soon! He just got his first paycheck and wants to get a new xbox 360.... I don't know about that... I gave him the okay tonight & he hasn't got it. Will he?!?

the end of an era...

2008-10-09T21:53:00.000-07:00

In case you haven't heard Austin along with his bosses, Brian & Cortney, were laid off on Tuesday. Golden, the owner of the golf course, is going to try to run the golf course maintenance out of his landscape company in order to save money. It was a shock to all of us, they didn't give them any warning, called them into the pro shop and said it was their last day. If Golden thinks this is going to work, he's crazy. The rest of the guys at the course that know anything about anything down there we not loyal to the golf course but to Brian & Cortney and when Golden so cruelly canned them, the following day, 4 more guys quit on the spot & didn't show up for work. So Golden lost the only 7 people that know anything about maintaining the golf course. It'll be interesting to see what will happen at Sleepy Ridge. It's sad to lose such a fun job with so many fun people but they were all pretty under paid and it may work out better in the long run. Austin has a very good possibility to work for a different course near by with Brian as the assistant superintendent. We are crossing our fingers that it'll all work out!

Air Force Austin

2008-10-09T07:55:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday, October 4th was his last day in the Air Force! It's crazy to think he won't be "Air Force Austin" anymore, but I am SO relieved! I'm very proud of him for serving his country, but i'm glad he is done! The world is getting too crazy, I'd rather him be home protecting his family. I love him more then anything, I can't imagine being months without him! Thanks for all you do baby! I love you!

Vegas trip!!

2008-10-04T16:00:00.000-07:00

This last weekend we went to Vegas with our friends Clint & Jenny, it was so nice to get away! it was even fun driving there!

About half way to St. George there is this hot spring in a town called Meadow, my dad knows about every hot spring this side of the United States & loves going so I've been to it a few times. Jenny was freaked out by it but Clint and Austin had a blast. They even put their swim suits on and jumped in.

*I am getting Austin some of those boots for Christmas, dang that's hot!! haha

The drive there was probably the best part for me, we had stopped in St. George at the new In & Out burger and started on our way again, Clint fell asleep in the car & was snoring pretty loud so I told Jenny to put some salt in his mouth, I honestly didn't think she would but oh no she did. Good thing In & Out gives little packets of salt with their fries! Some of the pictures are pretty bad because i was laughing so dang hard I couldn't hold the camera still to take the picture!!

I did get more pictures but I dont have time right now to put them up! I'll try to do that tomorrow!

our puppy can swim!!

2008-10-04T15:53:00.000-07:00

this was a couple weeks back but we took Marley to Utah Lake to see if she'd swim. She was so stinkin cute!! she was very nervous but still tried it! She'll do anything her daddy tells her to do.

I must warn you, i hate my voice in this video!! i am way too loud in it so i apologize in advance.

it was my b-day!

2008-09-01T11:17:00.000-07:00

So it was my birthday on Thursday, even though Austin was gone it was a pretty good day! When I got to work that morning my co-workers had decorated/thrashed my cubical. there was so much confetti on my desk I kept finding it all over.

my mommy took very good care of me while Auz was gone. She made dinner and cake for the family that night. She got me 21 roses! they are so pretty! I need to bring them home!
My mom wasn't very happy with the cake but everyone else thought it looked very yummy! it was confetti kind--one of my favorites! she always makes the best cakes!
my mom knows me so well.. she & my dad gave me Taco Amigo gift certificates :) it's me & auz favorite place.
my mom & dad got me this sweet swiffer cleaner too. She knows how bad I hate mopping! our puppy can get my kitchen floor so dirty so fast!
my sister & Paul got me the twilight books! I can finally read the 4Th book now! I'm very excited. I already have book #3 so now i have them all. I talked my mom into reading them too :)
Oh and my grandma and grandpa got me this really cute porch swing! I've always wanted one! I forgot to take a picture of it though. Now we just need to build a patio so we can hang it somewhere!
So semi side story: Austin & his bosses left Tuesday afternoon to go hunting up in Vernal, they got to Heber & Cortney's suburban broke down! they have been waiting & planning this trip forever so instead of coming home Austin got to borrow his parents Yukon and was able to continue on their hunting trip. We didn't want Austin's mom to be car-less so we dropped the 4runner off. So i got to drive the jeep, it was lots of fun til I wanted to drive to my mom's house but had to bring the puppy! the jeep doesn't have the top on or the doors, and that little puppy doesn't understand that when she goes right to the edge of the jeep while we are driving it scares me half to death!! I put her leash on her and we made it safely but I am pretty sure i had at least 6 heart attacks. But best part of the week was Saturday afternoon (Austin was supposed to come home Sunday but I wasn't sure what time he was coming), I was at my moms & we were cleaning the jeep, just hanging out.
I got a text from Austin "Hi what ya doing?"
tori "just hanging out at my moms, what are you going?"
A-- "driving"
T-- "I miss you. What time are you coming home tomorrow?"
A-- "What I'm supposed to come home tomorrow? We are just getting started"
t--starting to fume "don't even mister"
A--"what if i don't come home tomorrow?"
t--"I'll cry, no bawl my eyes out. I miss you"
by this time I'm very upset, I'm so upset I have to take like 5 minutes and settle down before I could even tell my mom what he was saying... and it was taking FOREVER for him to text me back! then like 5 minutes after i get a text saying
"I'm just kidding honey, we came home today--come outside and get me!! i love you"
and then he pulled up to my moms house!! i was sooo happy!! he came home a day early! I loved it! I had missed him so much, and they had a pretty crappy hunting trip so they came home :) It feels so good to have him home! And Darren & Celeste had their little baby girl on my birthday too! She is such a cute little baby! Yay! it was a good birthday!

Last Friday my little family went up Provo Canyon with a friend from work, Ruth. She was staying the night but we just stayed for a couple hours. Marley had so much fun, she would start to get brave and go explore. Austin would throw a rock intothe bushes and she did not know what to think. She'd start to bark at the bush then kinda freak herself out, jump up and run as fast as she could back to us. It was hours of entertainment.

She keep hiding behind the chair..

It's always much more fun if you get all dirty! She had a blast.

Marley is so stinking cute, I can't get enough of her. She adores Austin, so when we are driving in the car she has to be on his lap. She was so tired the other night from playing at the golf course all day that she had to rest her head in the steering wheel. I took the picture with the cell phone so it might not be the best quality. She is so cute.

Speaking of cute, my husband is amazing. He takes such good care of me, even when it's 3:45 in the morning & I've got a killer migraine. I'm so lucky to have such a perfect hubby & life! I love him :)

Austin saved the day and got my pictures off the camera to the computer! here's an update on what we've been up to lately!

we got to drive a Viper from my work, it was loads of fun & super fast!

Auz looked so good in it :)

Once a year Hill Air Force base has a family day--since now I'm offical family I got to go :) We went to the museum, I learned lots the 4 hours we were there

Last Wednesday we got a puppy! her name is Marley & oh so cute! She sleeps in really funny positions & adores Austin. On the way home with her, she'd sit on my lap for just a little bit, get all fussy then go to Auz and be perfectly content. She listens to everything he says and gets to go to work with him all day. She's lots of work but very much worth it.

first day here..

I finally got talked into doing a blog & I was really excited to post some of the fun pictures Auz & I have taken lately. I was headed to work so I made sure I had my camera & cord so I could pull the pictures off the camera. I get all the way to work, pull up the website & then I figure out I have the wrong cord. it fits into my phone not my camera. so this first one won't have any very recent pictures. maybe next time.

Tonight Auz & I get to take my grandpa's old car to a car show, if you guys are in PG by the pool you should come visit. this is the picture from my wedding. i love it
