Tis the season..

No pictures just words but TIS THE SEASON holy cow..I love love love this time of year. Oh gosh I could just freak! Lets make a list....The popcorn tins that contain not just 1 but 3 different flavors of popcorn including cheese yeah!, gingerbread houses, pumpkin pie, banana cream pie and all the other pies out there, the hokie pokie, Me and Jasons first year anniversary, His birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, the day after Thanksgiving sale!! oh do I have stories about that (different day, different time) anywho, sledding, hot chocolate, christmas music, the lights and all the love. And since I always ask questions and no one really answers them I will just ask one anyways!!

What do I do for are first year anniversary and his birthday?.. help its a major dilemma..

A week full of events..

I did so much this weekend I honestly dont even know where to begin...okay maybe I do lets just start with introducing you to "the Rabbit" long story short this car probably is the car you dread getting into and make fun of when you see coming down the road, no lie its that bad. Jason got it for free so being free he thought it was a GREAT idea, wrong..its cost us over 2,000 dollars to fix dag nabbit is all I have to say. Lets just list the pro's and con's of this sucker..Pro's: Gets great gas mileage (70 to the gallon we estimate) Con's: The passenger door only opens from the inside, no AC, no radio, leaks, no shocks ( can you imagine that), needs alot more work, wont start if under lets say 40 degrees, lights on the inside dont work, ugly brown and gold color, 1981 volkswagon rabbit ( never a good idea if your car is older then you). So Jason asks me to go huntin' with him and of course we have to take the rabbit because what good is it if we dont get all the use out of this thing and the great gas mileage?! Of course me being the anxiety freak that I am, I start to worry as soon as he says the word rabbit. How are we going to make it up there in that, I ask myself, But we do hitting every rock in the dirt road..even the pebbles.

Well this short story is turning into a long story. opps.

We get up there and I have promised Jason that if we see a deer I will shoot it..we see a deer..I dont shoot. The 2 block hike was actually a mile hike I would guess..honestly I was dieing Jason said I had leaves every where from falling and complaining the whole trip but pshh whateva.. we started back to the car and the radiator fluid was leaking. My panic immediately set in, questions like (what if we blow up, or get ate by a mountain lion, or get lost in the dark and a bear eats us?)

I'm starting to think this is my ANXIETY BLOG..from now on.

We have to stop every 30 ft to check the fluid so we dont over heat..on the way we pick up these lovely hunters who had shot a deer but didn't want to hike back to there truck..example of these lovely hunters..we F&#@ saw a deer and F%$# shot the deers and F*&^ dont want to hike..but they were lovely and fun. They even offered us beer oh how nice of them. We make it to there truck and we make it down the canyon only to start over heating as soon as we hit Nephi canyon oh but dont worry its all okay because the lovely hunters found us and they saved us after we saved them. We made it home safe and sound that night. I was tramatized.

That was thursday night. Friday I went with my mom and watched Elisa Dance and went to Goodwood for a Girls Night Out. Saturday I went to a shower and had the Sheffield family Halloween party. Sunday Jason shot his deer..I was so proud of him and he was so happy! A week full of events I tell you.

Simple Things

Yesterday Jason brought flowers to me at work, there were not just flowers to me but something that was so simple but said I love you in so many ways. Today I sit here thinking about all the simple things in life that I am so greatful for. Last night I got to spend the night at my parents house and the night talking and hanging out with my mom (even if it did mean putting up tomato's until the wee hours of the night). My dad fixed a grilled cheese for me, yum! and we had one less big spider in the house because of him. I am thankful that I got to hear I love you from my husband last night before going to bed and hearing it first thing this morning. I am greatful that my morning was spent with my mom and sister-in-law hanging out. I am greatful for the simple things.

A Mayonnaise Jar and A Coffee Cup

I found this today on a blog I visit and thought it was important to share....


When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 Hours in a day is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - God, family, children, health, friends, and Favorite passions--things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.' If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. So... Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play With your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. 'Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that Really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked'. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.

What could it be...

Seriously I could say me and my husband are one of the dumbest people but I wont just yet. In July Jason found a stray cat and decided we needed to adopt it, and gave it to me as a gift. Usually I am not one for having an animal in the house ( sorry to all those animal lovers out there) and to say the least this was quite the adjustment for me. I just didn't like the fact of an animal being around all my stuff and the smell!!(dont worry it dont stink) But honestly I have grown to like it more then I thought I would but still dont know if its what I want...So back to the story, we have been putting off getting it first shots so today we made the appointment, jasons mom drove it to the vet and got its shots, come to find out this GIRL that we have been living with that has a hot pink color and whos name is izzy...is actually a boy, who would have guessed honestly! I mean there has been a few days where we were like mm...that looks a little off but nothing like oh I think this cat is actually a boy. Its weird to go from a mind frame of we have a girl to we have a boy...jason says this cat is a fag cat now! looks like we will be renaming it and buying a different color collar. So hear I will say it for you...me and my husband are one of the dumbest people you will meet!
