Adam and I

Last Sunday we went and got some pictures taken of us for our Christmas cards this year. My mom was kind of enough to take them for us, even though she was sick. Thanks MOM

WARNING: Lot of pictures!

Craft time!!

I love doing crafts, they are so much fun to do. When Adam got me my cricut in July I was so excited because I can now do more crafts. One of the ladies Adam home teaches is getting married this Saturday, she happen to work at the doctor's office I work at also. I asked her what she wanted since I knew that both her and her husband to be would have most everything they needed.(seeing as they live on their own) and she told me she really wanted one of those established signs. So I made her one.



I have been wanting to make Halloween decorations for a while now, but have never been able to get the supplies I needed for it. Well I FINALLY did, and here is the result:
I think they both turned out great. I love being able to create something, and say that we made it.

To those to actually look at our blog...Thank you!.....and I'm so sorry I have not updated it lately. Well our life has been crazy. Work for me is really busy right now because of all the Influenza A's that are coming in. I've been hoping and praying that I don't get it, but if I do so be it. It's crazy how hard we have been hit with it, and it's only the beginning of the flu season. Look out everyone, WASH YOUR HANDS! A LOT!

Other things Adam and I have done is we took the adventure of canning. We have done...Pickles(which are super good)
Pickled garlic, I know it does not sound good, but it is really good.
Peaches, and
Apples.
We also did raspberry jam, strawberry jam, and raspberry n peach jam.
I'm so proud that Adam and I could do it together, it took a long time to get done, but it was worth it. We now have more to add to are small food storage.

Brothers

My Mom after many years of paying for school pictures for my brothers and then always getting them back and being disappointed, has given up on buying them. So for the last year or so we just take the pictures ourselves. Last night we went up Payson canyon to take picture, and I tell you what I can't believe how much my brothers have grown up. My brother Jacob is 16! In just 3 short years he will be on a mission. My brother Roscoe is now 14, time sure has flown. I think their pictures turned out great, even the ones of Roscoe who does not like to smile very often. He was even sick and he was being a good sport about it.

Hard at work

It's been really busy these past few weeks. Not in the means of work itself, but just in general our lives are busy as always. I'm proud to say that Adam does not have the heart condition that his mom, aunt, and grandpa died of. Dr. Wang said that none of the tests showed anything that suggest that he has it. He is just as likely to die of a heart condition as you or me are.
I'm so happy!:) Makes me love Adam that much more, knowing that I will have him around.

For a long time now I have been wanting to put up a shelf in our front room, I just didn't want to pay for one. The ones I looked at that I wanted were all 15ish dollars or more. So Adam and I went to D.I.(oh ya) and I tell you what we got a great deal. I got a shelf, two old sifters(for my shelf in the kitchen when it's done), and old bike thing for my shelf...all for 15 dollars! On the sifters, one was 10 and the other was 15, but the nice lady said if we bought both she'd give us a deal. I'm thinking oh she'll give both of them to us for 20 dollars. Boy was I wrong she gave both of them to us for 10 dollars total. So we spent just as much as we would on ONE sifter!

I love it! I want to thank my wonderful husband for putting it up for me. Thanks Adam!

Another thing that is going to make our lives busy is Adam's cousin Janessa(who is up here from Arizona for hair school) just got engaged. So she is getting married at the end of December in San Diego. We still can't decided weather or not we want to got to California or got to Arizona for the reception. I'm so excited to go down either way to see everyone.

Then in February we get to welcome our new niece or nephew, whichever it may be. I'm so excited Jon and Allie get to find out what they are having next week. I'm so excited to have another little baby in the family. I think I'm more excited to go out and buy baby clothes for him/her.

Can we ever forget?

Can we or ever will we forget September 11, 2001? I know for me I will never forget what happened that day. I remember exactly what I did that day, I was in 7th grade. We should never forget what happened that day, when so many people died. Mothers, fathers, friends, sons, and daughter. Some were heroes, others were just at work trying to earn money for their families. The ones in the plan were off to various destinations, not thinking anything like this could of happened.

When Adam got home today from work he told what he heard on the radio. He was listening to Glenn Beck (BIG surprise), well Glenn was playing different audio clips from that day, and one of them touched my heart. A women who worked at one of the towers was unable to escape because she was above the fire and they had no where to go. So she called her family and must of left a message. She went on telling her family that she loved them so much, telling them that she got to work and a bomb must have gone off. She kept telling her family that she loved them. It brakes my heart to think about what she was thinking about. Did she know she was going to die? Did she know what was really going on at all? What would you be thinking about if you knew you were going to die in that situation. I know I would call Adam and tell him how much I loved him. I can't being to think about it, all the family that went though all the heartache of loosing someone they loved so unexpectedly.

Quick post time

For every season I have been trying to be good and make a wreath, and I did good for the most part. The only season I didn't do one for is summer, and that was because I never had time to do it. So here is my fall wreath...
...Since it is now September 1st I felt that I could now put it up. I'm very happy how it turned out!

Update on Adam...Well all is good as far as we know, the test went good on Thursday. We don't get the actually assessment until next week when we can go see Dr. Wang again, and he'll tell us what is going on for sure.

This weekend is Payson's Onion Days, I love this time of year and I'm so excited this year because I'll actually be able to enjoy it. Last year we were moving in and I was cleaning the whole time. I love walking around the park and seeing what everyone has for sale. Enjoy the weekend and have fun!
