Your name is what?

So today was the day.... William and I went to get our "couples massage" and I was super nervous! It was almost like I was driving to the girl doctor for some reason. I think just the thought of being partially naked in front of someone makes me ill no matter who it is. (even my husband at times) So William and I get there and the place was so nice it smelt good the music was nice. We begin by filling out our little paper work, William who has previously had a massage was drawing all over the body picture on the sheet. I was like what the heck are you doing? He just ignores me when he is annoyed with my questions. The lady behind the desk was like, "any preference for male or female?" William was like, "I don't want a mans hands rubbing me down!" I looked at her and smiled and said "my husband would like a female and I don't care either way" She hands us a paper with the massage therapists names on them. William looks at mine and was like "wait that ones mine" as I look at the paper and it says Jennifer, his paper said Reagan. I was like well... Reagan is a girls name so I am pretty sure they are both girls. He was like "give me the Jennifer one". Ok, ok geez, I was thinking seriously they are both girls!
Well lo and behold Reagan was a man. Dangit, I was thinking, I wish I had said I wanted a girl too. To late now! We head back and they ask if we needed to use the restroom. William was like um yeah.... He looks at me and is like "I need those" I was like need what? He look at me with his annoyed face and was like "I need those!" I was getting sightly embarrassed, and was like "William we will get dressed in the room." He was like OH, ok.
I am sure the massage people where like what the heck? I am sure they thought we where like either weird and kinky or my husband had a medical condition that he did not list on the paper. So, we get to our room they show us where to put our clothes and walk out of the room. I reach in my bag and throw Williams BATMAN, underwear at him. This was the "those" item he was referring to at the bathroom stop!
Anyway the massage was going well, I mean I did not enjoy him rubbing my legs at all. Not even relaxing. I was excited as he moved to my back, UNTIL..... my hand was cupping something I did not want to be touching. At first I was thinking naaa its just his upper thigh maybe his arm? I was thinking what the heck should I do? I mean if I pull my hand away quickly he would obviously know that I was assuming it was his...... well, manhood. If I just laid there and did nothing then I felt like I was committing a horrible sin. Then when it happened a second time! I was like ok that is not his upper thigh. Gross... so not only was I already uncomfortable, but then you not once, but twice you have your pelvis area to close to the table. So as he stepped away from the table I pulled my hands in as close to my body as they would go and the experience did not happend again. Thank goodness!
Yes, I told my husband when we got out to the car. He just laughed at me! He was like "see.... that is exactly why I would never have a man rubbing my back" I was thinking yeah well whatever who names their boy Reagan anyway!

A need a real journal

I love my blog, however there are things you just cant say. This would have been one of those posts but instead I will just talk about how I personally would benifit from a journal.
1. I would be able to express my feelings without judgment
2. I would be able to release stress if need be through my writting.
3. I would not feel like I was hurting or offending anyone by my writting.
4. Nobody will read it til after I am dead so they cant make fun of me. :)
5. Sometimes I feel like I have no girlfriends to talk to from the heart anymore so at least I can talk to myself. hehe
6. I know by doing a journal I am also following advice from leaders :) which in turn may actually teach me something.

and thats all folks

Love this show!

Does anyone else watch The Nate Berkus Show? I really really love that show, I enjoy home decor and think its fun! I like to take nothing and make it something, I dream about decorating. I know I am soooo cool right... I can picture rooms in my head and place things were I want them. Its fun and free haha being that I picture all this junk in my mind and cannot do it in my own house since well, that would cost money! haha Anyway about The Nate Berkus show.... This lady was trying to sell her house which by the way was super cute. She just has so much CRAP, you know those old lady houses that are just filled with nic nacks and you want to PUKE. I mean sometimes it can bring back great memories at grandmas house but you wouldnt want live there for fear you would suffocate! This poor woman just had no shame she was SO proud of her house! However, she was trying to sell it and they people that walked in the door pretty much turned around and walked out. Then this poor lady shows up on the show with a freakin bandaid on her face! I mean seriously she is a super cute older lady her clothes are fashionable she is addorable. I just find it very strange that she has a bandaid on her face. I was thinking maybe she cut herself shaving? Some old people men and woman has hair issues, then she just forgot it was there. I am not sure why nobody told her before she walked out on to a national television show. I feel bad for her as I am sitting here watching her and bad mouthing her bandaid and her house. It did give me a good laugh though. :) Maybe she was trying to pull a "Nelly" stunt. I really have no idea. Then at the end she gives Nate a aqwardly long sensual type kiss, I mean it was on the cheek but still extremly uncomfortable. Ok I am done with my random rant about an old lady. If you have not seen the Nate Berkus show you should better than Martha Stewart anyday!!

New Place

We often watch golfers from one of the two patios

Cadyn was trying to help out our awesome maintenance guy fix the door.
Collyn loves swimming, if we arent home you know where to find us.

WallE is enjoying the new place too.

I love having a built in for the TV awesome space saver.






Love LOVE the jetted tub

Flat top stoves ROCK so easy to clean









My shoes have a place!

Cute built in shelving














Living room

Kitchen

Fireplace SO EXCITED to use this during the winter

Dining area

Bedroom, there is a super cute nook off to the right that goes out onto a private patio.


















We are really enjoying our new place. However it always seems we move in next to smokers I am not sure why this always happens but at lease these places are built really well and we cant smell anything. I feel like we are fairly even they have to listen to my kids run around above them, and I have to occasionally smell their smoke when I am outside. The only difference is my kids wont kill them! On a happy note, I am having fun decorating, to bad I am not rich so I could fill my house with decor :) I am sure it will take me a year to get everything I want in the place that I want. It would be amazing to me if we lived here for a year though since we seem to move all the time. This is actually the first place that we really love though. The fireplace goes through into the boys room at first I was kinda nervous but I love it. I can spy on them while they play. We also have a garage! I know, I know, to some this may just be your everyday but to me this is a luxury! My car loves it and the leather in my car will thank me. Oh and I have 2 pantry's TWO! Ahh food storage here I come! Anyway we are ready for visiters!! :)

This is for you... you know who you are!

Things have been super super busy, we are moving to our new place on Saturday YAY! I am so excited! I look around and think I have a lot packed and then I open another drawer and there is still stuff. I hate packing hate it! I love unpacking though, I love to decorate and figure out where things are going to go. This time I am overly excited because we are getting new furniture. We have to buy a new bed because we are awesome and have been sleeping on an air mattress (person this is for you can relate to this hehe) Anyway I popped the mattress while packing, I through a suitcase on it and put a hole in it. Note to self ...never throw a suitcase a someone it really could hurt them. Obviously, my suitcase did not like the mattress because I couldnt find anything pokey that could pierce something. Needless to say we are sleeping on the floor until we get moved. I refuse to buy something and then have to move it again. The cool thing about all this is we are pretty much not moving any of our large furniture. We are buying the boys bunk beds, we are getting a new bed, and the new living room furniture. That only leave the kitchen table and chairs, and the washer and dryer as the big items. SWEET! That also means we can save more on our uhaul. Oh my goodness I would say we are seriously so blessed and go on and on about this great move, but then again I have now read the blog seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com and never want to be "one of those people" haha. Love that blog! Anyway things are great, kids are good, school SUCKS, husband is super duper, and I well I am just truckin along. PS I think you need to take a road trip or plane trip or whatever mode of transportation you feel necessary and come here. I miss you face and your laugh and of course your furry black child, oh and your husband too!If you leave tonight you can help me pack! :) See you on the flip side everyone...Will post pics of the new place, once is decorated of course!

Happy Days

When I look back through the years I can laugh. I am sure I will have many more of these moments in the future. The trails that we are going through now some day wont matter. As for now I just look back on the short time I have been here. I have made so many great friends and so not so good friends. I have had good experiances and bad experiances. But, isnt this what life is all about? We live and try to make the best choices and do the best we can to choose the right. I cannot say I have always choosen the right, however I feel like I have done pretty darn good with what I was handed. We get stuck in the mud sometimes and it sucks, you can either sit and squabble in it and pull yourself down further or look around and think about your options and then choose the best one. I have been feeling really let down by someone latley and the dumb part is there is no real reason that I could pin point. I am just feeling hurt, and currently I am the one squabbling in the mud and complaining in my mind over something that really doesnt matter. Its not affecting me in my day to day life it doesnt effect my family and really it just plainly doesnt matter. Or does it? I have always been a believer that people are put in our lives for certian reasons. Those people who have influenced my life for the better I hold dear to my heart. I strive to be a good friend, and find it to be a blessing to have so many good friends. I am easily hurt by people who take advantage of this type of thing. I am not perfect and for sure have stepped on several toes in my life. I just love it when friendships are easy, they just happen and they just are, the flow of a good friendship makes my face hurt from hours of smiling. I am so blessed to have moved to Texas and through all the trials it was so worth it to gain some amazing friendships. If I had a glass of sparkling cider I would clank it together with all of "ya'll" here is to many more family dinners, game nights, and girls nights!

Vacation Home

I think this was the quickest trip I have ever taken but it was AWESOME!! I got to see almost everyone on my trip and it was great! to bad I forgot my camera. The trip started off with a plane ride that was more like a roller coaster. I woke up at 3am to catch my plane and say goodbye to the boys and the hubby. Collyn was crying and it was breaking my heart as I walked away. My heart was pounding as I got the airport I haven't flown by myself in years! I know that sounds lame but I really do not like flying at all, and taking a trip by myself without the kids and hubby was a first for me. As I got ready to board the plane I looked out the window to see the tiniest plane I have ever seen, besides the ones that they have to flick the spinner thing in the front. As I boarded there was one seat on one side and two seats on the other. Seriously the smallest plane EVER!! Luckily I did not have to sit next to someone with as large of a rear end as mine or we would have been in for some (uncomfortable) trouble. As I landed in Denver and realized I had to exit the plane by walking down the stairs and onto the tarmac I remembered I had left the sweater I was going to bring on my bed at home. It was instant goosebumps as I walked out into the windy rain weather. Then the "bag people" drug all the luggage out from under the plane and allowed all their lovely passengers to sift through and grab their bags! What the heck? I felt like I had just landed in a foreign country! It was hard to believe that service like this still existed in the US. Not saying I expect first class, and for the price I paid for that ticket I really should not have expected more. After making way to Billings in another tiny plane I was relieved to arrive and get the vacation started. My mom picked my up and we headed to my cousin Tamis beautiful spanking new house for lunch. It was great to see her girls and Brady boy who is so big and cute as ever. We then headed off to Worland where I got to meet my moms boyfriend for the first time. I have to be honest I was a little worried! (sorry mom) However, I was pleasantly surprised and think Earnie fits so well into our family. He is awesome and I am so happy for them. We went out to dinner at Butch's for my birthday and enjoyed a yummy buffalo burger. Then I headed out for a crazy night with my cousin, then watching her barf the next morning really reminds me that FOR SURE I am not missing out on anything. It was great to catch up with some old friends though. I had been awake for 24 hours since my plane left at 3 am the morning before and I figured it was time for bed. Then when the sun came up a couple hours later my mom and I where off to Casper and then her car broke down. Awesome it never fails that something like this always happens when we are together. After that dilemma we where on our way to Casper and made it in time for dinner. I met my cousins boyfriend and for sure he is a keeper! Her kids are also getting so big and super cute! The next morning we headed off to Guernsey to see Lacey graduate. Her graduation was one of the best graduations I have ever been to EVER! It was interesting and fun. We then headed to her house for the party afterwards and it was super fun! I miss my sisters already and all my family it was so great to be able to see all of them even though it was a short trip it was well worth it. I finally made it home after hours of layovers and the possibility of having to sleep in the Denver airport I made it home safely, just in time for the lovely tornado's! That's a whole nother story though!

~mother, I love beans!! BAHAHA
