November News

Well, November came and went. Like really fast! It was a really good month, though. Not a whole lot of excitement, but there was some.

They weather was nice a beautifully  fall. It was never super cold, and very rarely snowed. 

For whatever reason, I crave chips and salsa pretty much day after day. I even sent out an email to my coworkers asking anyone that would listen if they would go get me some. I even offered a $1 tip! Luckily I have awesome coworkers, and Donna was so willing to get me some. Don't worry, I shared. But not until after I had my share. 

It did snow a little, and it is always so pretty when it does. It was never super cold, but surprisingly this snowfall lasted a little longer than it normally does.

 Greg said something that only he thought was funny. Luckily I caught him laughing at himself on camera!

On the 19th, Kandyce was in town, so she brought Liam and Myka over to visit. It's always fun having them come over. They are getting so big. Liam is the cutest, and Myka is a sassy little child.

They had fun playing on my exercise bike, and torturing each other.

And Miss Myka loved the princess coloring book I gave her. I love having them stop by.

Right after they left, my father-in-law came down so we could drive to Salt Lake to look at a car. We have kind of been looking for the past 6 months or so, but decided we needed to get one before winter. The place we were going had one car that we were looking at, and then that same day they added another. The one we originally went down for had some hail damage, which was fine, but it was also being "held" for someone else. The second car that we looked at was beautiful, and even though it was a little more expensive, we decided to go for it.

Talk about a huge step for us! It was hard handing over the money, but luckily we were able to pay cash for it, (which we have been saving forEVER for!)

Waiting at the dealership to purchase it.

 Ahhh.....so hard to let go of that cash!

 But it is pretty, and fancy, and definitely an upgrade from our 2003 Chevy Malibu. Sharknado is a 2015 Chevy Malibu, and we love him.(Greg mostly!)

Pretty sure he loves it more than he loves me! :) We may have drove it around just to drive it. We are cool like that, but we're grateful for it, and feel good about this purchase.

My Birthday & Such

July 2 was my 28th birthday. I don't know why I was so excited for it, I just was. Even though I don't love turning older, I figure, I feel like an 80 year old, so I guess my age doesn't matter too much. I had to work, which in reality, wasn't too awful. I was sung to by Steve, which was a highlight of my life, and it was just a chill day.

I wore one of my new skirts...

And took my first selfie as a 28 year old, that I actually quite like, even if my smile is weird. But I think that's just the new normal, so whatevs.

Greg made me shrimp and crab for dinner, which was super delicious, and a variety of cheesecakes. He is the greatest!

Topped off with another epic birthday card, he always finds the best ones.

Then it was over. My birthday present will be arriving Thursday, and I can't wait!

Here I am post work on the 3rd. We got to wear jeans, and I'm so happy to say I finally fit into the ones that my sister-in-law Adrienne let me borrow, As I'm supposed to be gaining weight, however, who knows how long I'll get to enjoy them.

I got off early from work, and went to a Dr. Appointment, then we went to Sam's Club, where are car broke down. It wouldn't start. We sat there for about 10 minutes before deciding to walk home. It's only about a mile, but in 90+ weather? It's not exactly the most fun.

I had the rest of the weekend off for the 4th of July. Since Logan is weird, they shot off their fireworks on the 3rd, so Greg and I went outside for a while to watch. Then we kind of slept in on the 4th, and his parents came down to take a look at the car. After much tinkering, they decided it was probably the fuel pump, and there wouldn't be any getting to it that day, so we packed up and headed to Star Valley so that we could bring one of their cars back. It was a long couple of days, but I'm grateful that they were willing to drive down and back and let us borrow their car.

Greg enjoys teasing his little sister Annie, quite a bit.

This is the house we would like to buy.

Happy birthday to me, and Happy 4th to you!

Vroom Vroom

What kind of car are you driving?

It is a 2000-something, silver Chevy Malibu. A definite upgrade from my Buick Century, Pontiac GrandAm, or Plymouth Sundance, and despite my efforts to bust through a snowbank, and damaging the front bumper a bit, it's been a good car, and I am happy with it. (Besides, it's not my fault that my trailer park managements sucks at plowing and leaves big piles of snow/ice in the middle of the road making it a bit difficult to turn around!)
