My New Calling!

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I haven't been blogging for awhile. Here is what we have been up to, Mike is trying to find a job still. He works turnarounds at the Refinery but it is only temporary. Amy is just staying home and enjoying getting things done around here and I have went back to church and im really enjoying all our friends at church. I just got called to serve as the Relief Society Counselor, Visiting Teacher Cordinator, and I also do the programs for Sunday's and I decorate the bulletin board for Relief Society every month. It has a pocket for a recipe, the visiting teacher message, and the announcements. Also some of the hats have the Birthday's for this month. I also am decorating the bulletin board for our little branch and helping the primary do their's. After they saw mine Sister Harrison who is the Primary President asked me if I would help her do her's so that is what im working on. I hope everyone is doing well. Mike has been going fishing alot he really enjoys going fishing, this saturday he is taking the Scouts on a fishing trip so he is really looking forward to that! Here is some pictures from My bulletin board i will post some every month when i change my board. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

My great deal!

Hi Everyone,
Ok I have to tell you about my special deal that i got. I have been following Freebies2deals.com and Melea really inspires me to save money! She is awesome she tells everyone about the good deals you can find! So this is what i bought with all my coupons! Ok so I bought all this for 4.60, yes you are not blind! Ok first I will tell you what coupons I had. Buy a Meaty bone and get free biscuits, 1.00 off Pup-eroni sticks, 1.00 off Tiny T-Bonz, 2 coupons 2.00 off Milk Bone Chewy Treats, 2.00 off Clean & Clear product, 1.00 off Jumbone. The biscuits had a coupon on them for free canine carry outs. Then I had a coupon for a 10.00 Gift Card with new prescription, so after i used my gift card it only cost me 4.60. Then I went to Home Depot and we are trying to get our house ready to put it on the market to sell. So I always go look at their mistinted paint to see what they have and they had a gallon of Exterior Tan for only 5.00, I was so excited! Because we are painting the outside 4x4 posts tan and then we are going to build railing to go around our patio. I was so happy! I'm looking very forward to trying to use as many coupons this year as I can! Thanks for reading!

Christmas 2009

Hi Everyone,
This year we had a very nice Christmas, we were able to stay home this Holiday Season it was very nice to be able to spend the Holidays at home. Amy cooked a big Thanksgiving Feast and we invited the LDS Missionaries over for Dinner. We were very thankful for everything that we have been blessed with in 2009. Christmas we spent at home with Mike's mom and then on Christmas night we left to go to Utah to spend the Holiday's and New Year's with Amy's family. It was a long drive but we made it there in just about 26 hours. Heck we are truck drivers we should be able to drive that in a breeze! But it is a little different driving in a little truck than a big truck! We sure did have a lot of fun though, Mike and I loved spending time with our nieces and nephew. We drove up to Cedar City one day so we could see the snow and let Daisy go play in the snow, there wasn't too much snow but a little bit! It was sure fun she loved it! For New Year's we went down to Las Vegas and went and saw Gary Allan at the House of Blues in the Mandalay Bay.
It was pretty fun there was a lot of people there! We left the concert right at when he did the encore so we weren't stuck in the traffic all night.We got back to my Mom's about 04:30 dark in the morning, but it was worth it we were pretty tired though. We stayed at Amy's Mom's for 9 days it was a lot of fun. We were able to help her out so we were thankful for that, we put her Christmas away for her cause she has to haul it out to the garage which is a lot of work. She was sick for Christmas so we were glad we were there to help her. We sure did enjoy our visit though! Here are some pictures of our visit! Hope everyone enjoys the pictures!

Amy's Birthday!!!!

Hi Everyone,
Well today was Amy's Birthday, and we sure did have a fun day! Mike made me breakfast in bed, and then we got ready to go to town. We were going to go to see Twilight New Moon but Amy decided let's just stay home and spend the day together and we can play games. So we played my new Twilight game it was really fun, then Mike made dinner for my Birthday we don't really like to eat out very often because we get enough of that on the road! So Mike made Chicken Parmigiana, Fettuccine Alfredo, Steamed Broccoli, and Salad with Roasted Garlic Butter French Bread. Was SO delicious. Last night he baked my cake, He made a Red Velvet Cake from scratch, homemade cream cheese icing, and it was so DELICIOUS! If I didn't know better I would have thought he bought it! He also wrote my name on my cake himself! It was so delicious! Then he bought me the new Twilight Game, an OTTlite for my scrapbook room for when I'm doing detailing for things you just need an extra light, a new purse, and an alarm clock that holds and charges my ipod, it is really nice. So I had such a wonderful birthday! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband! Thank you so much for treating me like your Princess because that is exactly how you make me feel! Thank you baby i love you so much! I love you! Here are some pictures of my Birthday!
