Winco Foods

I had so much fun, if you can call grocery shopping fun, at Winco foods today. They have this whole bulk barrel section. We got chocolate covered cinnamon bears, shark gummies, army men gummies, butterflies, granolas, bananas, teas, raspberry honey and even dog treats!!

It made me think of when my mom used to take us to Harmon's when we were kids. I remember wanting to "sample" them so bad.

The produce really is cheaper too.

Off to cook and do homework!

umm

Yah, I really suck at this. By this point, I am sure that no one else is looking at my blog. I didn't mean to try to fall off the face of the earth, it just kind of happened. I started school. You can finish the program in 1 year, but my goal is 6-9 months. Hence the fact that I have become completely non-social.

Matt and I are doing wonderful though. Our marriage is like a totally new marriage and we are best friends again. We have even started running together and are getting ready to sign up for a half marathon.

Tristen is beautiful and sweet. She just finished preschool and will be going to Good Foundations Academy Charter School next year. We are super excited about that.

Gabe is just Gabe. Naughty and hilarious. He only wears basketball shorts. He wears no other types of pants because basketball shorts. He wears them all the time because they are "special". He will be the death of me, but he is still my baby and I can't resist his kisses, even when he is being incredibly naughty.

Otherwise, life is good. Maybe I could actually do this again this month!!!

Facebook is gone, time to blog again

Well, some of Matt's old creepy friends from his old job tried to hit on me on facebook, so I decided to have it over.

Brief update:
After being separated for 5 months, Matt finally decided to give it all up to God. It has been a complete and total miracle and nothing less. He immediately came home and is a totally different man than I married. He has a love for God that is amazing. He is consciously thinking about ways to care and show me he loves me.

So, now that things are awesome, his work just sent him to Mississippi for the next month. I guess it was a blessing that I figured out how to live without him.

The kids are wonderful and we are off to Disneyland Saturday. It should be wonderful.

Hmm, so facebook happened

I haven't been posting much because I signed up for facebook. I found that it was much easier. I promised Matt I would only have girlfriends on it, but it should be good. So, if you don't see anything here, go to facebook.

My Rock Star for Jesus

Well, after getting to meet his Uncle Jo Jo (Jordan), Gabe has been beyond obsessed with guitars. He has been playing this little guitar that my mom gave him when he was one non-stop for over a month. Well, that just wouldn't work for a rock star guitar. We found this awesome electric guitar that you plug your ipoc (as Gabe would say) into and it plays that music with the guitar louder.

Then at Friday night church, Matt's cousin's husband DJ is the worship leader. Well, Gabe told me he wanted to be a rock star like DJ. I told him that DJ was a rock star for Jesus. Now, Gabe tells everyone he is going to be a rock star for Jesus. How happy does that make me? Very happy. We only listen to Christian music at home, so I would love him to sing songs that Praise God. What better thing could there be.

So, very seriously, Gabe is learning this guitar stuff. He is my little stud!

A month in pictures...

potty training, dance recitals and a new job...

Oops, a whole month...

Well, I was trying really hard to be better on the blogging, but I guess I missed a little.

Matt graduated. I thought that I was going to cry, and I didn't. I guess it still feels a little surreal. We had a great party, but I bought way too much pizza and way too much beer. No one ate very much and I ended up sending 6 pizzas home with different people, but it was fun. I love seeing how proud everyone is of him.

He quit Williams International Friday and starts ATK next week. He is taking 6 days off to play 36 holes of golf a day in Mesquite.

I have been working full time to over time for the last month. I figured I might as well not waste my chance to earn some extra money while I don't have to get babysitters. I still love my job, but I am not very good at managing my time between work and home.

Cara gets married in 2 weeks. She is way excited and they are going to do great. Brody is 25 and Cara is 18, but Brody is a great guy. I posted the picture I borrowed for their wedding shower.

This week, while Matt is gone, we are just getting ready for Tristen's dance revue. She is wonderful at her dance and she is going to rock it. She has rehearsal on Wednesday and then dances on Saturday. Matt will make it home by Saturday for the revue.
