just wanted to add this picture of Noah and Zoe. Noah sure loves his little puppy. and i cant believe how big she is getting!!! i thought this picture was so cute!

The Quest fo the Christmas Lights

who would have thought that getting christmas lights would turn into such a quest. yesterday, the fam piled into the truck and headed over the vernal to do our shopping to get us to next paycheck and stock up on some christmas stuff for the holidays. along with the decorations that we got, we picked up a huge box of lights to string on the tree. and as a family home evening, when we got home we began decorating the tree. now normally you would think that when you get the lights out of the box, you would plug them in to make sure that they work. instead, we just began stringing them around the tree. once that was all said and done, THEN we decided to turn then on and see how great the tree looked. and.......... stupid lights. the box came with 2 long strands of lights and half of one strand didnt work and then the other stand didnt work at all!!!! that sucked big time, so i had to pull all the lights off the tree and try and shove them into the box again. (i have NO idea how in the heck those stupid lights get into the box so nicely when you first buy them, but it is near impossible to get them all back into the same box that they came in!) so today, i drove all the way back to vernal so that i could return them for ones that worked ( i tracked down some poor guy in the gun department and had him help me find an outlet to plug them in to before i bought them... LOL!!) and now i am off to go and string these new lights. hooray for me! :)

some days, i hate being female!

this morning i awoke to my wonderful womanly monthly gift..... ARGH!!! and all day i have been seriously craving caffiene, salt, and chocolate. there is seriously not enough of those 3 things in the world right now that would make me feel like i have satisfied the beast. so far since a few hours ago i have now drank 2 cokes, ate about 10 peices of candy, and polished off a whole tube of pringles!!!!! isnt that sickening? and i dont feel lik i have even touched the craving. lol!
this is really driving me nuts

our new truck!

chris and i just went out to salt lake on thursday this past week and bought a new truck! isnt she lovely?! omg! this is the best truck on the planet! its a 2008 dodge ram 2500, laramie edition. basically, the laramie has ALL the bells and whistles on it: dual climate control, heated seats, power everything, bluetooth connection... wow! the list goes on and on! and it has SOOO much power. its kinda intoxicating to drive. i tend to get a little drunk with power when i get behind the wheel. its FANTASTIC! i just wanted to show it off you to guys!!!

i am very disapointed..

so i am very disapointed in our country. this morning i got up to hear that Obama is our president elect. i dont understand what eveyone finds someone so apealing! this man is going to send our country down the tubes so fast, that we wont even have time to blink. and EVERYONE is totally in love with him and completely blind to the fact that this is what this man is going to do. i am truely scared for the next 4 years. i just have the worst gut feeling that he is really going to mess everything up for us. but i guess everyone is ok with that. it really sickens me. but i guess we all better get used to communism, cuz thats whats headed our way.... thats all i have to say right now.........................................................

Halloween!

as you all can see, halloween was very good to noah this year! my little superman had a GREAT time! every year, we go to the "trunk or treat" that the church puts on, which is a lot of fun! we all eat dinner, and then have a costume parade, then we all head out to the parking lot to get candy. and it only took noah about 2 cars to figure out that when you go out to a car and hold your bucket out, that you get candy! after that, he was practically shoving through all the kids to get candy! it was so funny! but we all had tons of fun!

Dreading November 4th

the title explains it all! novemeber 4th=election day=D day. so actually, i am really dreading the 5th, because thats when we will all know who our next president of the united states will be. and the way things are looking, obama may just be our next president. and if he is, we are all f**ked... just to put it mildly. know, i am not a racist person by ANY means. i could care less if our next president is black. but i dont know what it is about this guy that everyone thinks that he is so wonderful. i was listening to rush limbaw the other afternoon on my way to work. and this man, as rude and blunt as he can be, he makes some very good points. he said that there has been a study that was done recently about the effect that obama seems to have on people. this study stated that he has a "hypnotizing effect" on people. especially young people for some crazy reason. which i truly believe. unfortunately, this people are being led astray and they dont even realize it.
this man, i truely believe is a nazi. where he stands on some issues are utterly outrageous! he thinks that all babies that are found to have downs syndrome while still in their mothers uterus should be immediately aborted! along with children that have deformaties and other serious health problems. WHY?!? every child should have the right to live, wether they can function properly in life or not. obama thinks that we should have a "prefect" race of people on this earth, people without defects. that sure sounds like hitler to me.
this man is also will allow partial birth abortions, which is the sickest thing that i have ever heard of in my life. for those of you who are unaware of what a partial birth abortion is; it is an abortion that can take place at any stage of the pregnancy, all the way up to full term/or into the 9th month of pregnancy. no who can tell me that is not a human being?! anyways, the abortion is done by doing an ultrasound to find the baby's foot, which is then pulled down and the baby is born breech/feet first. they completely deliver the baby except for the head. and while the head is still in its mothers birth canal, the doctor will take a pair of surgical scissors and insirt them into the base of the babies skull and open it. if this alone doesnt kill the baby, they stick a suction tube into the babies brain and suck it all out. after that is all done, then the rest of the baby is delivered and all is said and done. how can anyone allow that sort of thing?? especially, as i was saying, an infant that could only be a few weeks or days away from being a full term baby?
Obama also want to raise taxes on people who make more than 150 thousand dollars a year and basically just give that money to other people who dont make as much. what the hell is that about?!! why should people who work very hard for their money have to pay more taxes for it to just go to other people who arent willing to work hard enough for it? that is going to make this country extremely lazy and think that everything should just be handed to them?
this is just the biggest outrage! and i cant believe that everyone is just falling for him like he is the greatest thing since sliced bread!
and it is really sad that no one sees these things and the way it is looking is that Obama is going to be the next president! someone said to me earlier today this Obama is going to be the next president and that i'd better just get used to it! i was so appalled that this was said to me! i dont have to get used to anything and i dont have to like the fact that this might really happen. it honestly makes me sick to my stomach to think that he will be our countries next president. and i just wish that other people can see that too.
i guess all we can do is just hope and pray for the best. even then though, i somehow dont feel like those prayers are going to be answered....

Cross your fingers for me!

yeppers! i hope that everyone will cross their fingers for little ol' me! i got a call from the hospital just a little a bit ago and they want me to come in for an interview. i applied to work back at the care center that i used to work at, but this time if i get the job, i will be working as a supply clerk. i really hope that i get this job! i am really in desperate for a job right now! wish me luck! i will let you know wether i get the job or not soon!

so tired......!!!

the last couple of nights have been rough. my poor noah has been sick with a cold so he has been extremely congested. so he hasnt been able to sleep very well, and as a result, i havent been able to sleep very well either. last night and the night before i have gotten up with him in the middle of the night at least 4-5 times to tuck him back into bed and get him settled back down. poor guy will start coughing in his sleep so hard that it wakes him up and he has a hard time falling back asleep. stupid colds... i hate this time of year. chris and i also got a little bit stuffed up, but ours went away pretty quickly. noah seems to have gotten the brunt of it. hopefully it will be gone here soon and he will be able to get the good night sleep that he needs! and so will i! :) lol.

our latest adventures

monday nigh chris quit his job with western states. they had told him over 2 weeks ago that as soon as he got his CDL that he would be put in a truck that very next day. so chris worked his tail off to do that. and like i said in one of my earlier posts, he got it very quickly. and now he has had his CDL for a little over a week now and the company has still not put him in a truck. for some reason or another, the guy thats in charge of that stuff doesnt seem to really like chris or something, and has been jerking him around a little bit.
so chris went out and got another job lined up for him on monday with a water truck company called Jim Nebeker Trucking. which he was really excited about. and yesterday we had to spend the day running around to get all the things in order for him to start work with them today. he is really looking foward to it. finally, he gets to drive a big truck like he was wanting to. lol.
while we were running around and doing all of our errands yesterday, i finally got noah a halloween costume! and it is so darn cute!!! it just a little superman costume with a cape. and noah loves it. it looks just like feety pajamas and he insisted on holding it all through wal mart yesterday and callen them his "jammies". i cant wait for the 31st so that he can wear it and show it off! i am sure that he will love it! i will post pictures of noah wearing it as soon as i take some.
well, thats pretty much all that i have for an update right now.

my ranting...!

so this past weekend was the opeing weekend for deer hunt. OMG! that sure was boring. a small handfull of chris's family always comes up to the cabin that we have in tabiona and stays for the weekend. which is fine. chris really enjoys it. but i dont think that i will ever attend another deer hunt again. the whole entire time i was basically just chasing noah around while everyone did their own thing. i was pretty much ignored the whole time. everytime dinner time rolled around, i never had anywhere to sit down, so i ate my meals on the couch. and every single time that i would try to join any conversation that was going on, i would talk for almost a whole minute straight, while no one even acknowlegded that i was talking and then they would start talking right over me like i wasnt even there. it was ridiculous! i think that the only good time that i really had the whole time that we were up there was yesterday afternoon when chris, noah, and chris's cousin, mitch and i all went out riding 4-wheelers by ourselves without everyone else. i wasnt ignored there. and mitch is a really nice guy. i have known him for about 3 years now and this was the first time that i had really got to spend any time around him and get to know him. and chris had a fantastic time spending time with his cousin too.
but i was SOOOO glad to come home last night and just be in the comfort of my own home with no one there to ignore me.
The moral of the story.... dont ever go hunting if you are a girl and you will be the only girl up there at the deer hunt. NO FUN!!!

he did it! he did it!

yes, he did! my hubby got his CDL today!! i am sooo proud of him! chris has been working so hard the last few days to cram everything that he needed to know for the written test and then went to the dmv first thing this morning and passed it! it only took him 45 minutes from start to finish! so then we drove to salt lake so that he could take his driving test with a friend of his dads, and he did great there too! like i said, i am SO proud of him! and tomorrow he is going back to the dmv to make it official and he will be able to drive truck!!!!!!
he did such a great job and i am so happy for him!! i just wanted to let you all know that! :)

noah and zoe

this is my handsome little man noah and his puppy zoe. zoe was his birthday gift for his 2nd birthday. and he sure loves this little dog. these are some pictures of noah and zoe playing together on her very first day home with us.

big time bummer... :(

so i am officially bummed out. last week i applied for a job at the pahrmacy here in town and had the interview on wednesday. it was the perfect job. it was only 20 hours a week so it would have still allowed me to go to school and have time with my family.
the interview went really well. i got along great with the two people that were interviewing me and they seemed to like me pretty well. after the interview was all over, they said that they would let me kow their decision within a cople days.
by friday afternoon i hadnt hear anything from them, so i called and the guy that i needed to talk to had already gone home for the day, so i had to wait all weekend, which was agonizing!!!!! it was driving me mad without knowing what was going to happen.
so this morning,firstthing when the pharmacy opened, i called and talked to the guy who did the interview and said that he alrady filled the position! i was SOOOOOO bummed out! i thought that the interview went really good and that i would have beenemployed once again by this time today. so on once again with this stupid jog hunt! i wish that i could ind something, but so far it doesnt seem to be working out that way.
im actaully kinda depressed about the whole thing. this sucks big time......
