Prayers Please...

My mom has been really sick for almost a week now and we aren't sure what is wrong. She is such a strong person and it is so hard to see her go through this. We are hoping the doctors can figure out why she is sick.

Please keep her in your prayers!!!


 I love you, Mom!!

Blogging Hiatus...

After today I will be gone from blogging for atleast this week. We are moving on Wednesday and not sure how long it will take us to unpack and get settled. It is awesome that we really don't have to do much except watch the movers pack everything. I enjoy the process of unpacking so that won't be a big deal at all. Kyle will actually be home for this move so it will be a big help.

Thursday I have my doctors appointment, I am very optomistic that everything will be fine and we will get the answers we are seeking. Then Friday is a big day for us (well Kyle mostly).....he will be promoted to Captain, he said to me this morning that he still can't wrap his head around that fact. I am so incredibly proud of him.

Hopefully I will have time to update this weekend and post pictures of the new house and the promotion ceremony.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend!

 It is a time to spend with loved ones and to honor the men and women of the military.

We don't have big plans this weekend, Kyle is sick and I am just plain exhausted. It will be a lot of relaxing around our house.

Be safe everyone!!

Weekend Recap

I really wish weekends didn't have to end. We had a great one! On Friday we went bowling with our friends Jeremy and Kristina, which is always a lot of fun. We came back to our house afterwards and decided to make s'mores with our firepit, it was such a nice night out, so we spent about an hour relaxing and talking.

Yesterday we spent the majority of the day out and about running errands. Kyle had a bunch of Best Buy gift cards from his birthday so he spent those. We had lunch at Jason's Deli which is my favorite sandwhich place, yummy!! We have slowly been figuring out what we need to get for the new house...the list seems to get longer everytime we talk about it, so we decided to go to Sears to look at a few things. For a few weeks now we had been talking about getting a pool table, of course they can get pricey so we just wanted to "look", well looking turned into buying. We are really excited about it as we are always entertaining people, so I'm sure it will go to good use.

We decided to watch the Disney movie "Up" neither of us had seen it....oh my goodness what a sweet movie!! Yes I got a little teary eyed, but it had such a great message. While watching the movie I had my computer on so I could "watch" my Dad race....and once again HE WON!!! Another great night for he and my mom.

Today we are just lounging around the house, enjoying what will be our last week in our first house together.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

come on June...hurry up...

Well we are officially 2 weeks away from moving. Yeah I know, it's only to a different house but we are soooo ready! I never thought that 2 people would need more than a 3 bedroom house. We have accumulated so much crap over the last two years that we are busting at the seams.

All I can say is that the week we move will be INSANE...here is a run down of whats going to happen that week:

June 1st- Get keys

June 2nd- Move

June 3rd- Doctors Appt

June 4th- KYLE GETS PROMOTED!!!! YAY!

Then we have to get our current house cleaned before the final inspection on the 7th (I am going to need a vacation haha)

We are also really excited about our trip home to Vegas in July. We will be there the 7th-14th and we are beyond excited to see our families. Kyle hasn't been home since Christmas 2008 and I know he is ready, especially with a possibly deployment coming Spring 2011.

Not much else is going on....I hope everyone is having a Happy Wednesday!!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Happy Birthday to my amazing mom, Kathy! She is the best mom anyone could have ever hoped for. I wish I could spend her birthday with her but thanks to Skype I can atleast see her. Happy Birthday, Mom! I love you!

Dad, Kyle, Me, and Mom at our wedding.

Happy Friday!!

I have been so blessed this week with Blog Awards! This time this one comes from the wonderful Bonnie @ The "Sometimes Single" Mom, if you haven't already, please go read her blog, it is wonderful!!

The Rules for this Award are simple:

Answer the questions, make up ten of your own, and pass it on to seven others. Here are my questions to answer:




1. Why do you blog?

I started blogging as a way for family to keep up with me and Kyle. As time went I started gaining more followers and have made some wonderful blogger friends! It's a way for to get all my thoughts out and I love.



2. What is your favorite restaurant?

My favorite restaurant is Macayos...it's an awesome mexican place on the West Coast. My family has went to the same one for the past 25 years, it is amazing!!!

3. How long have you known your best friend?

I have known my best friend my entire life, she is my sister, Lisa! She is one of the most amazing people I know.

4. If there is one place in the world you could travel to if money was no object, where would you go?

Australia...I have always wanted to go there, hopefully someday it will happen.

5. Have you ever been outside of the United States? If you have, where have you been?

Yes, I went to the Dominican Republic in 2004 with my church group. I hope to go back in the future.

6. What did you want to be as a child growing up?

Growing up I wanted to be an Architect. I loved drawing buildings and landscapes, over time I grew out of it, but have recently started thinking about it again. I guess we will see what happens.

7. What is your biggest accomplishment so far in life?

My marriage. I went through a year and a half of being married to someone who didn't care about anything, least of all me. When I married Kyle I finally was with someone who wanted to be my equal and have a loving and supportive relationship.

8. Have you heard about the Ethan Stacy case? What are your thoughts on it?

I have heard about this story. It makes me angry, sad, and confused. Why would someone ever hurt a child?! Especially his own mother and stepfather. I am so sad for his father who has lost his son.

9. Who do you admire?

I admire my parents. They have been through so much in their almost 30 years of marriage. Raising 5 kids in a tough time, surving the bad economy, and coming out stronger than ever.

10. What is your favorite television show?

That's a tough one...it's a tie between The Office and Criminal Minds
