a word of advice

so, basically its been 27 years since i've posted something on this lovely blog that no one probably follows any more. oh well, better late than never right? well all that being said there are quite a few things that need to be caught up on.

1: living in g-ville (grantsville) utah.
-first of all i thought that this would be the hardest thing on the entire planet, universe, solar system. sure i'm only 45 minutes away from salt lake, but if you know me, you know i LOATHE driving. i absolutely despise walmart and that is pretty much the only grocery store around with everything. we do have soleberges.. if you want to pay euro freaking prices. i miss my friends and family, i miss seeing different styles and i miss diversity. however, all that being said. i love this little town. i love my house and my new friends i am making. i love our tiny ward that is full of geriatric patients. i love walking into a store and knowing everyone there. i love having my husband waive at every single car that passes by because he knows them, or their cousin, or their cousins friends dog twice removed. everyone is so friendly, just the other day Oak and i went to breakfast and low and behold it was paid for by his mom's friend. who does that?? i live by and work with the best people ever. if you want a real small town where anyone would do anything for you and loves you for who you are no judgement. come to g-ville.

2: of course being married. the one question you will get for the rest of your life once you tie the knot... just so all ya'll know. "how's married life" will soon become one of the most frequently asked questions. one of these times i'm just going to reply with "married life? i'm married?!!" or "he tells me not to talk about it, oh no!!! HERE HE COMES!!" just to spice it up a bit from the normal. 'its great, i love it." which is true. i honestly was expecting it to be much harder. so far its been a walk in the park even with all the ishnit that has been thrown our direction. i can honestly say that oak is the best thing that has ever happened to me. i love him more and more each day and we are always having a blast together! i seriously married my best friend. he "completes me" if you will. gooey, now that all the fun lovey, gooey, dovey stuff is out of the way on to the next!

in Sun Valley, being dorks as always!

ugly sweater Christmas party anyone??



Haha, this is Oakly playing the kinect we got for our 6 month anniversary. that sucker is so much fun!! anyway, told you we had fun we're like 5 years old every day.

3: job. i work at overstock.com. and surprisingly like it. i've gotten a few promotions and i've only worked there for a few months which has been great. i get to start working from home this month and i'm super excited about that. Oak still works at the lovely complex. i get to feel like a princess whenever i go there, free this free that, "OH you're OAKLY'S wife??" that kind of stuff. you know its a normal paparazzi. not. but sorta. without the cameras. anyway, its cool. and of course the cowboy part of his life. he probably doesn't know this due to the fact that i basically cry my eyes out every time he has to go to a rodeo and leave me home alone for just short of a week. but i love it. i LOVE that i'm married to a cowboy. it took some getting used to, but he is the hardest worker ever. i will never have to worry about getting him motivated. he does it all on his own. i know that our bills will be paid and that we can have fun to! i love the security of that. i also love when he wears his cowboys apparel, talk about smokin' hot. random, but seriously i'll post some pictures.

4: house. i absolutely love my house, i love doing work on our basement, i love decorating. i love the feel of it, i love that the spirit is here, i love that we host every blood sucking party known to man. i love that its clean and organized.i love the smell of it. i love the way it looks with Christmas lights and decorated for holidays. i love my house. period. it feels good to come or be home when your sick, i get excited to come home and relax. i love that things are almost always in the right place. (we both lose things we're human). i love fixing up our basement (stated previously) together. we are currently working on the bathroom and so far going quite a bit quicker than we thought, the whole fun side should be finished by flippin' summer. which i think is super exciting. hey you, friends that are reading this and haven't come to play, get your butts out here to g-villey at least by summer time. its going to be a pizarty. anyways i also love my kitchen and cooking for Oak in my kitchen which brings me to my next point.

doesn't look like much, but it is. ha, we'll keep ya updated.

5: cooking. ok, so never have i ever really cooked. when i have it has been a small amount here and there under severe serveilence..(i do not know how to spell that) from my mother. and i was ok at it. never really had an issue following recipes or what not. however, now that i've discovered Si Fosters blog "a bountiful kitchen". every single frickin' day i'm on that sucker looking at her amazing recipes. and for the most part they aren't that hard. some are time consuming but hey to make a good meal takes time! i love cooking and Oakly likes my cooking and is starting to show it a bit. ha, not really but he thinks so. and i even got a compliment and recipe steal from my mother in law... that is sayin' something isn't it??



any way, this is the 5 updates for today. i've been a bit sicky so i best be getting some rest. i forgot how much i loved to blog, hm... i promise i'll be better.

oh ps. shout out to Brookie Foster. thank you for getting on me about my blogging, i forgot how much i liked it and am going to be better at it.thank you for the word of advise. any who.. enjoy the pictures!! love you all!
