Long time coming...

I've been meaning to update our blog for months, I just never have to time (I could be studying right now but I figured this was more enjoyable)

This semester is already half over and I'm counting down the days. I just miss having free time and reading for fun. So far school hasn't been bad and this is my favorite semester so far. Everyone says this is the hardest semester of nursing school but I find myself less stressed and enjoying it.

Joey has been working hard like always. He's such a amazing man. I often wonder how I got so lucky:) He had his 25th birthday back in September. I know that's not old or anything but I can't believe how fast time has went. We started dating when he was 20 and I was 19. We celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary on the 13th of October. What a wonderful 3 years this has been and it just keeps getting better!!!

I never blogged once this summer, so a quick blurb about that... We had a blast this summer. Very busy and it went to fast. We went boating, camping, backpacking, mt. biking and did tons of dirt bike riding. Again my computer will not let me put photos on here. Sorry, I know pics are half the fun.

I will work hard on trying to blog more, but no promises :)

The start of summer

Well for some reason I can't get any pictures on here so that might be another post.

Lets recap from my last blog. Everyone here is doing wonderful. Joey is working hard like always (I'm so proud of my kick butt hubby) I finished up the semester in May and I took a week long spin off class and I now have my LPN. One more year and I'm a RN!!!!

Right around the end of school Joey's uncle passed away so we made a quick trip to Washington for his funeral. I was able to meet a lot of his family that I've never met and that was wonderful. On the way home Joey's truck started acting up. This was stressful because we recently sold our Charger and we're trying the one car thing seeing how I'm the only one who drives them anyway. Well by the time we made it home we had a broken truck and no vehicle to drive. So off to the shop it went and off to New Mexico I went to see my momma.

I had a blast in NM. The weather was so hot (I LOVED IT) and I got to spend so much time with my mom. I never realized how much I missed her until it came time to leave. Guess I just need to go visit more!!!!

When I got back to Wyoming it was time for Joey's week off and our truck was still broken so we decided to get another vehicle. We sat down and thought long and hard about what kind of car/truck we should get. We need something big because of our growing puppy (he's over 80 pounds and 6 months today)I really didn't want another truck because we have one and we don't do very good with cars seeing how we have never kept one over 4 months. An SUV was our only choice.....after much test driving and looking around we purchased a Hummer H2. It's large, can go off road, haul my pups around and fit passengers. I think it's pretty sweet and let's be honest it fits us. Pictures are coming.

That about sums this last month. I will post again soon. Until then have a great summer and hopefully you're getting better weather then we are!!!!

A little update!!!

I know my blogging skills have seen better days and I'm going to try really really hard to blog more once summer break comes. So I thought I would add a little update until I have something interesting to blog about and some more pics.

I have about a week and a half left of the semester and can't wait for summer!!!! Joey has been moved to a 2 weeks on and 1 week off schedule. I know this might sound like an odd schedule to some people but we sure are glad for it, especially for summer. I only work a couple days a week in the summer to stay busy, so when Joey's week off comes around I don't work it and we get to have a mini vacation and play all week!!! It's the best.

The weather has been very bizarre lately and one moment it's OK and the next it's snowing. So hopefully it will get nice soon so we can start enjoying summer and riding our dirt bikes more!!!!! I will try to keep up on all the fun things we do.....

It's been FOREVER!!!!

I have totally forgotten about our blog for a few months. I even forgot our user name and password!!! Things have been very busy around here and I'll try to recap the past few months. This might be a long post.

December: We had a wonderful Christmas and we both were very spoiled. I finished my first semester of nursing school (and well into the 2nd semester now) Finally, after a very long year, our house in Colorado sold. The market there had really declined so we lost a lot of money on it, but we no longer own a vacation home so we can't complain.

Christmas Morning

The Kitchen. Good bye GJ house!!!!

January: School started back up and it was hard to go back after such a long break. With our house sold, we moved into a house that we're renting for a bit until we decided what we want to do. Once we moved into our own place, we decided that Kayla needed a playmate, so we added another dog to the family........Tanner the Great Dane. He is very cute and growing like a weed.

February: Not a whole lot happened in Feb. I was busy with school and Joey was out of town for most of it. Joey's little bother got married and we're very excited to have April in the family. Valentine's day was nice, but Joey went out of town the next day so we had a relaxing night at home. I didn't take very many pics this month.

March: March has been much the same, other then Joey is HOME!!!!! I love having him home, he's been gone a lot over the last 6 months. This last weekend Joey had some days off and took me to Utah for Spring Break. When we got to Utah Joey asked if he could stop and see a friend who works at a bike shop. While waiting for his friend Joey suggested we walk around the store, I'm always up for looking at dirt bikes so I said OK. As we looked at dirt bikes I noticed one of then had the numbers 511 on it (this is my racing numbers and I was sad that someone else had them) as we walked closer I noticed BURGER above the numbers and I thought how odd someone has the same numbers and same name last name as I do. Being a little slow I realized Joey had set this whole thing up and surprised me with a new bike. I was SO EXCITED and had to try really hard to not cry. I have to coolest husband ever!!!! I've been wanting another dirt bike for awhile and talk about it all the time and what do ya know....he gets me one. I'm pretty lucky!! And then he surprised me again and points to the bike next to mine and says "Surprise!!!! I got one too!!" I sure love my husband!!!!!

My look of surprise as I'm slowly understanding whats going on.

My NEW BIKE!!!!!!
