Our soon to be home!

Well I just wanted to post a pic of our home that we will be closing on 7/30. We are getting a little excited and I am trying to start the packing process. Hopefully we will get all moved in and love our house. There is a courtyard in the front of the house, but we will have to build a wall that connects to the wall for the yard and the stone front. Hopefully it won't take too long to get that built. It is a cute little house that will be great for us for a while! I will keep you posted and show more pics when we get all moved in!

My husband

I just wanted to tell you how great my husband is. He works extremely hard every day of the week and wins these awards called kudos a lot. So my birthday was on the 6th and he won some awards. Well instead of spending the money on himself, like he should have, he gave them to me. They were worth $175.00 which is a lot of money to me. I am a tight wad! I can't help it but I feel bad spending money. I swear I look like a homeless girl most of the time. I think some of it has to do with that I wear scrubs 5 days of the week. Anyways, he wanted me to buy some clothes with the money, so we went to Banana Republic and J. Crew and got tons of cute shirts and pants. I really needed some clothes because I still have stuff from junior high. SAD, I know. Ben always thinks of me before he buys something for himself. I am so glad I found him. If you have never met Ben, he is really one of the nicest people I know. When I want to gossip, he gets mad at me and tells me that I shouldn't talk about people like that. I swear he has no enemies. I love him and I want him to know that NO, I did not marry you for your money! haha...He probably married me for my little paycheck! I love you Benny!

4th of July Celebrations!!!

This 4th of July was a little bit different than our usual trip to Duncan. All of my siblings were in different areas so we went up to Springerville. We met up with my mom, dad, Kambrah, Arcel and the boys. When we first got there, we watched the parade, which was actually really good. Then we headed down to Reserve and watched Ote and Kambrah in the rodeo. I actually got some really good pics there. Ote was able to win the sheep riding and the barrels for his age group. He is probably going to be really good someday. After the rodeo, we went and ate dinner at Los Dos Molinos, which I will never eat at again. The people were so rude, in a hurry, and the food wasn't that great. We then went to watch the fireworks in Springerville. We were able to drive right into the airport on top of the mountain and just kind of get away from everyone. The fireworks turned out to be really good. I was pretty surprised. We were so exhausted, nobody made it to the dance. The next day, we watched Arcel rope in the pasture roping and then we went over to the park and played some volleyball. The only thing we wished was that all of our families could be together for the 4th. We had a great time up in Springerville and hope everyone's 4th of July was great!

My Birthday!

Today is my birthday....I don't know if I am excited or not...I turned 25 and now that means 5 more years until 30, or 25 more years until I am 50?!?!!! Crazy how fast time goes by. My brother Brent and his family are in town so we are going to go eat tonight, so that should be pretty fun. I am going to bake myself a cake. I know it seems sad that I am baking my own cake, but Ben doesn't have time because he is at work all day and I am off half-day. And plus, I really want to eat some german chocolate cake :) Anyways, I am now officially 25 and don't want to be. Why can't I be 18 again???? :( I think from this day forward I am not going to have any more birthdays!

And p.s.....don't look at the wrinkles by my eyes....That is what happens when you get old!
