WOW, 2 posts already for this year!!!!

Just wanted to say that I am so happy that we get to see Spring earlier than expected this year. It has been so cold here the last few month, more than usual. I cannot wait to spend the weekends out in the yard / at the park / with the windows open in my house. I love to let fresh air in and air out!!!! Make my house smell and feel cleaner.

Thank you Phil the Groundhog for not seeing your shadow!!!! Which means early spring, yeah!

It's a new Year!!! Well it has been for almost a month now...but I am a little slow to update...

Tanner is on the second half of first grade and doing great!! He loves school and the after school program with CARD.

I am still at my job - 2 year on Jan 14th. Still love it, still happy...

Scott has been at his job for 5 years this year and still loves it...

I guess it has taken us this long to finally find happiness with work! God know we have been through allot of tough times when it comes to the job front. Not to jinx it, but I think we have finally found what we will work till retirement with...

Here is a picture that was on our Christmas Cards...

Happy New Year!

It's me!!!! I do still exist...

Just wanted to post a picture...this is why I get up every morning!!!!

Tanner is truly my best accomplishment in life!

It's been awhile...

How cliche is that? It's been awhile since I have posted...

Well, all things are great in job-land, I have almost been here a year in January! GO me! I love it here, it's hard to believe that something so great happened out of somthing so bad this time last year. I am still bitter as I try not to be each day at why I was tempted by another job that "sounded: better than the one I was at for 3 years. I left the one that was secure/safe and so bad for myself to one that seemed a new opportunity and promising to move on to something that had "benefits". Sometimes the choices we make are all in a fog. I worked at the job for 4 months before they cut my hours and 5 months when they let me go...WHAT? How do you not know that you cannot afford someone, 6 months before it happens. Living too high on the hog if you ask me. So true in so many ways.

I honestly was in a bad place last year. I tried to be positive and upbeat. Think that we were not getting more in debt, but we are still catching up - if that ever happens. We have paid some stuff off and continue to make payments on others but then moving in the middle of the year to higher rent and more utilities...ugh! Don't get me wrong I have allot to e thankful for, not complaining.

I have a house to live in, a beautiful family, great friends and a JOB! I see friends struggling with their jobs or lack of a job and I try to offer my support as much as I can. Because I know that this time last year I was in the same boat. Hang in there guys, I promise something will work out. Look at me.

Not saying who but somebody is turning older on Monday...yeah it's me. Happy 36 Birthday to me...

Company Retreat

We went to an AWESOME place for our annual Company Retreat! We had so much fun. I think we might go back next year on our won so that we can have a Yearly place we can go. There is a pond, swimming pool, saloon, game room, poker room and overall great atmosphere for "family" fun. Almost everyone from my work went and brought their families. We stayed in cabins, that were so cute, but could not help laughing when we walked in to put our stuff and Tanner says "where is the TV?". No son, there is not a TV. We will just have to find other things to do. And that is just what we did. We ate too much, rode horses, swam, fished, relaxed and had a blast!.

Thank you MITC and Greenhorn Ranch for such a great weekend.

Tanner's Birthday

Today my baby turned 5! I cannot believe it, I still remember when my water broke, wait back up when I found out, I know exactly what I was wearing, exactly how the air smelled and exactly how I felt (Can you name that movie?)

It has been an amazing 5 years, some goobly gunked together but for the most part I remember every memory.

Thank you Tanner for being my son and Happy Birthday sweet boy!

Happy Birthday to all who share this day with my son!

Smiling

Have you ever been driving, come to a 3 way stop and have someone smile at you?

Not for any reason, you don't know them, but they smiled.

Thank you stranger for putting a smile on my face...
