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...

It's finally Friday!

So, Tanner got his cast off on Wednesday, I would post some of those pictures but I currently cannot download any pictures on our computer because it died! RIP to our "puter"!!!!! It is currently with a guy I work with and he is diagnosing it. He thinks it may just be a few minor things, so hopefully I can just pay a little to get it fixed. We had my company picnic last Sunday and it was so fun...here are some pictures from someone else's camera...

Garden is in!

Well I finally got my husband to plant my garden with me...it's in and all set up with drip system, now we wait. We planted cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, zucchini and cantaloupe. I hope that they make it...the plants are new for us I have only ever grown from seeds. I took some pictures but since our home computer crashed I cannot download them yet. Getting it fixed this next week from my work. I am so glad to work for such a great company.

Our company picnic is this weekend and we can bring as many people as we want. What? Yep - so we are taking my mom but I think we might take Scott's parents too. Who knows. Fun for all. Then next month we get to go on an all paid retreat to a horse ranch in Quincy. We pay for breakfast and gas to get there. Can you say...I am so lucky to have things work out the way they did. I feel like part of the family and so appreciated. It was hard at the time to see that something beter was out there for me as it was rough having no job through the Holiday Season. I felt like such a non-giver to the family. Now, that is all changed. I am so happy! Love life, love my husband and my little boy! Life is good!

Revenge, not sure...

So, if you read my post yesterday - you know I was upset and this is my blog so I can say what I want right?

Well, the person I was talking about left a comment that was how I was the bad guy for not contacing her first, I figured as much. I don't know how email and text messages were not relayed, but I got 4 from her today (text messages) that were cut off but that her mom was supposed to email me an invite but in post was that it was coming by mail? or maybe text message not clear? Should I have to contact someone to be invited to a baby shower? What? She was upset that I did not contact her first about this and that I posted a blog about it. Uh, I did not post ANY personal information about ANYTHING!

I sent her an email separate from here, but not sure if she will get it. Should I text back and then have more things gets mis-communicated?

Frustrated!!!!

P.S. I guess I am such a bad person that she is not longer following my blog. Shame on me for wanting to do something nice for someone.
