All things on earth point home in old October.

WOWZA...been ages since I have posted any news!! Not that there hasn't been news...there has been plenty!!! Just been super busy!! There is so much going on in our life at the moment I don't know where to start!! Guess I will start with my favorite news..

Jamie and I have decided to start a family :O) We aren't pregnant yet...but well on our way! We have been tying for a few months now! We are very excited!

I have finally found some tile for the downstairs master bed and bath that Jamie has been working on...we took a very long break for hunting season, and for me to find some tile! We have the main part of the bathroom tiled...now to find tile for my huge shower...haha wish me luck! I most def feel very blessed to have such an amazing and handy hubby to this type of work around my home :O)

If we stay on track, we should be able to get the master bed and bath done SOON!

On another note!! Hunting has been a blast! We haven't gotten anything yet, but it has been a lot of fun seeing all the elk in the basin the past month and a half. :O) Bow hunting is certainly the best! I got a bear tag, deer, and elk...I don't think I will be getting them all filled this year unfortunately lol..We went up White Mountain are this past weekend...saw plenty of deer...but they were all does :O/ and some wild horses as usual.

As you can see...we have been getting SNOW!!!! For this I am extremely excited!! I pick up my season passes to the Canyons next week..can't wait to get out there and snowboard!! I am still working with shreddingbetty...it sure has picked up this year!! Their shop is doing fabulous!! I am thankful to be a part of it, and work with such awesome gals that have the same love for snowboarding that I do!!

As for my sponsorships...they still stand, and they all really want me to compete this season as well...I have told them my plans for a baby, they don't seem to be as excited as I am about it...but OH WELL!! Taking a season off is gonna be so hard!!! But I think I will manage, and make do with such a blessing :O)

Salt Lake City Half Marathon

Here are a few photos!! Ill be running in the Keith Younge memorial 5k this Saturday!!

!!

May Update!

WOW! A lot has been going on in our lives the past month! We had our third year anniversary, Jamie's 26th birthday, I ran a half marathon, and we bought a new vehicle!!

I'll start with my favorite! Our anniversary! :O) It was fantastic! We stayed 4 days in a timeshare in Park City we are thinking of purchasing, it was AMAZING! We lounged, shopped, and relaxed for our stay, it was well needed!!

Jamie purchased me a new vehicle for our anniversary...we traded in the Jeep, and got me a brand spanking new Toyota FJ Cruiser!! I have been wanting one of these since 2007...and I have finally got one! YAY!

Crystal and I ran the SLC Half marathon, it was such an awesome experience!! We ran 13.1 miles, it was an awesome accomplishment..we intend to run as many halfs, and 10-5 k's this season!

One of the many blisters I got :O/

Summit boy has been doing great!! Getting big, he is such a sweet boy!!! Great Dane's are honestly the most docile, easy training breed of any dog!!! I love how he is 30lbs bigger than me...but still listens to me with ease!!! Here is my boy at 11 months!

Going back home to the West Coast

Our trip to Oregon went fabulous!! It was great to see my family!! Been too long! Not much has changed over their way...my sister has surpassed me in height...wowza!! Her birthday was on the 27th. She turned 14...wholly cow!

While we were there we got some good ole snowboarding in at Mt Hood Meadows, with my sister, bro, and the inlaws. And we were able to hit up the beach! The mountains and the Ocean, my two favorite things! :O)

I will admit I was ready to go home after a week! I love Oregon, but I do not miss the rain. And the economy is just horrible over there. It's scary! I feel truly blessed to have been promted with Jamie's job offer, to move back to Wyoming when we did.

We took Summit along with us for the trip. He did very well! He was extremely stressed out though whenever we weren't around him. Poor boy!! He wouldn't eat nor sleep. Other than that, he was perfect!

The trip home was tiring..Jamie and I drove straight through, and had to get up early the next day for work.

Jamie had a critical test at work the next day for a promotion. He had passed the first test the week before, and was worried cause he hadn't had any time to study while we were in Oregon.

He texted me as soon as he got off work..he passed his test, and has been promoted to a Grade 3 position at Solvay, and received a very nice raise!!! I am so proud of my hubby!! :O)

The Joy's of Computers...

So after years and years of loyalty my computer has had it!! Recently the screen just stays black, but the rest of the computer is running just fine!

I was really peeved when this happened, I had all my shreddingbetty stuff on that computer, loads of awesome tunes, and of course all my HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS! How am supposed to do finals?! I mean sure yeah I can go over to Sue Sue and Hectors, so I am not at a complete loss, but just having everything at the convenience of home is...just well..convenient!

Jamie hooked up our laptop to our tv in the living room. And everything seems to be running just fine, I am transfering all my goods to a USB to put on my new laptop!

Before we figured out this little trick of our tv, we were using a backup laptop of ours, Bryce was just going to huck it, and we said nah, we will take it! It is slower than molasses, but better than nothing!!

We went shopping the other day for laptops, I think we have it narrowed down to 2! The HP Pavillion dv6 and the HP HDX 16 (My personal fave!!) It has 6GB Ram, and 500 GB internal drive :O) HECK YES!!! Go big or go home! And it has a lovely 17 inch wide screen, and of course all the newest latest features on could ask for!! I has a pretty neat thumb scanner you use to login to your computer, so no one else can, like we need it...but it's neat am I right?

It's gonna cost a pretty penny, but oh so worth it! We are leaving for Oregon on Tuesday, so we just plan on buying one there when we visit ( No sales tax! )

It certainly has been interesting to see how I have had to adapt to not having my computer function for a few days...indeed, I actually did not adapt, I was pathetic, I moaned and groaned everyday...

In this day and age computers are everywhere, everyone has one, and I for one seriously had my LIFE on this puppy. All of my snowboarding internship pieces, college work, and networking is all on computers, without one, I would have a hard time getting anything done!!

I am thankful for the convenience that computers provide, hopefully it will be at least another 7 years before this one goes out!!! Ugh!
