11 years ago....

11 years ago this week I married the love of my life.... the "man of my dreams".  I cannot believe how fast it has gone by and how many memories we have created along the way.  He really does complete me and I still look at him and think "I am so in love with that man".  We have had many ups and many downs and it hasn't always been easy, somedays we have really, really had to work at loving each other and other days it has been so natural but not once have I ever regretted one second of our life together.  I wouldn't change one moment!

Happy anniversary Josh... I love you so much!  Thanks for being you!!!

Quick trip to Twin

Josh has the best boss (and bosses wife) in the world... he really does.  They are wonderful people who really do appreciate what Josh does.... and they show it.  Last weekend they invited us to Twin to go watch the races (Joshs boss races) and they would get us a room and pay for the tickets into the races.  My boys love to watch him race so we jumped at the opportunity and we had such a great time!!

We drove down Saturday afternoon, after Jaces football game and came home on Sunday.  BUT before leaving on Sunday Josh surprised me and bought me a new wedding ring set for our anniversary!!!  It is beautiful and I cannot wait to pick it up on Friday!!!

Saying goodbye to a wonderful lady

Last week Joshs grandma passed away, she was 87 years old and she was a wonderful woman.  She LOVED her grandkids and great grandkids more then anything and was very active in all their lives.  And she cracked me up... she was very quiet but she had her opinions, and she knew how to get a point across if she needed to.  Her 1st husband died when she was in her 30's and her second died 23 years ago, she was a very independent woman.

I have many stories about her that make me laugh... from her running her motorized shopping cart into the sunglass display at Target to the pillow that had a flammable warning on it and she thought for sure it was going to spontanously combust.  She made me laugh.... alot.  She was warm hearted, fun loving and easy going and her grandkids thought the world of her.  When I was thinking back on her the other day I realized that I first met her almost 20 years ago.... before Josh and I were even together and even then I remember thinking what a neat lady she was.

She is going to be missed terribly by everyone that knew her... and a whole lot by my boys who really, really loved her.

Girls trip

On Friday Julie and I headed out for a trip to SLC and Lagoon.  It was kindof a last minute decision and I am so glad we did it.  Friday night we spent the night in Jackpot... although we really didn't gamble.  Julie is not much of a gambler and I am going to be in Jackpot in 2 weeks so thought I would save my gambling.  we did eat a nasty buffet though.

On Saturday we got up early and drove into SLC.. we stopped in Wendover and ate breakfast and then went on to Salt Lake.  After getting our hotel room we went to a chocolate store.... YUM!  Then went to downtown SLC and went shopping.  So much fun!!  Later that evening we went to a restaurant called The Mayan.  It is Mexican food but while you are eating there is a pool next to you and people dive into it.  The show was pretty cool but the food was not very good. 

On Sunday we spent the majority of the day at Lagoon... I am not nearly as tough as I use to be on some of those rides.  I use to be fearless, not so much anymore!!  That evening we went to the coolest little movie theater in Bountiful nd watched Vampires Suck.

We drove home Monday.  All in all we had a wonderful time and it was so good to get away for a few days, but I was more then ready to get back home and see my boys.
