In a nutshell

I have not posted in awhile, I do better writing things down in a personal journal but since I have recently decided to delete my facebook I will try to keep my few faithful readers up to date.... so in a nutshell...

In January my 22 year old Tim was called to be the Elders Quorum President in our ward. The night he was called, I laid in bed thinking to myself how funny life is. It is interesting to me how we are not in charge of our lives, only our decisions.The consequence of our decision is based on our ability to choose right and wrong.. If we are doing what we are asked to do and making good decisions, a higher source guides our lives step by step. Often taking our hands and placing us just where we should be. Tim constantly reminds me to do the things I am supposed to. ( Not that I need help with that people just sometimes I forget my tithing on the table or I may have left my primary book on the couch..twice.. don't judge me!) I could not go through this life with out him. I am just sure I would be lost. He amazes me.

February- Tim started his new job at infusion soft which is totally rockin his world. He LOVES it! I cant wait to ask him how work is going at the end of each day. He gets so excited to tell me about his day and what he has learned. I never hear a bad thing about it. They even give him breakfast every day.. WHAT THE HARRY! WHY DON'T I GET BREAKFAST!? Oh wait, that's because I am lazy and just don't want to get up to make it. We feel so blessed that he gets to have a job he loves...and free breakfast every day! YAY WOO HOO!

Nala got a haircut! Oh that little dog has me so wrapped around her finger...paw? Wait what? HAHA Seriously though , That little dog is my baby. She gets cute clothes.. and her hair all done up. ( that's what she gets for not having a baby in the house) but don't you worry your little heads friends... she loves it. I am pretty sure she loves it even more now that she is freezing all the time. Oh boo maybe I am just mean. BUT she really does bring a little umph into our house. We love that little fluffer!


BECAUSE NO POST CAN BE WITH OUT A PICTURE.. TAKE A LOOK AT NALAS SASSY NEW HAIR CUT! SOOO CUTE!

Welp, There really is a billion things more that happened in the middle of all this but like I stated at the beginning of this post.. this was a nutshell story! Hope you are all doing amazing!

Sweet temptation

Tim was recently suckered in to buying a few things from coworkers and families in the ward. I swear if you ever have a kid doing a fund raiser, go to Tim...he'll probably buy three of whatever you are selling. His recent buy..2 tubs of cookie dough! Oh sweet mercy Tim are you trying to make me fat!? How about the fact that its my favorite kind of cookie dough EVER.. I can hear my butt getting bigger every time I open the freezer for a bite of that sweet heaven!
My stars why must you be the only thing I crave all day long you blasted white chocolate cookie dough! You are torture on a day off!! I can't resist your charm and glorious taste!
So to all my friends.. don't judge me when I gain 10 pounds and look like a balloon..you'll know what its from!!

I love the Holidays! I wait all year for November to come around and say hello. I know I am a nut, dont judge me but I am constantly reminded of the awesome season every time I step foot out my door!! FINALLY GETTING COLD!! Ok Ok its not cold enough yet for one of these..but soon maybe!


November is the month of Thanksgiving( which I am sure you already know) cant wait to enjoy some fatty amount of food and fall asleep! Here are just a few things that I love about NOVEMBER!

1. FAMILY!! ...I LOVE spending time laughing and running around all the different theme parks like crazy people! I love watching my nieces and nephews soak up the magic of Disneyland! I love taking thousands of random pictures with my siblings doing awkward things while we wait in line! And I LOVE our weird family tradition to get old west pictures taken at Knotts Berry Farm on Thanksgiving day... We've done these silly pictures since before I was even born.


2. This man!! I know hes included in the family part.. but He deserves his own slot as well! Double Tim! I am the luckiest girl in the world! He puts up with all my crazy rantings about how we should decorate for Christmas the day after Halloween. He even cleans up after me when I make banana bread! He sings me Michael Buble's "Everything" When we get ready for bed. Oh I could go on and on.. I am so blessed to have him in my life.. So grateful to spend the holidays with the man that stole my heart! Hes so hot!

3. PIE!! It is the only time all year I am not judged for eating large amounts of apple pie! Oh heavens throw some whip cream on it and I am one happy camper.. We spend thanksgiving in Knotts Berry farm and let me tell you a little somethin somethin.. they have more kinds of pie than you can ever imagine.. yes be jealous!
Just looking at this apple piece of heaven makes my mouth water! HOOORAH!!


4. Weather! I love that the weather is cooling off. I wish we had more proof of the seasons changing...but I will gladly accept the fact I can open my windows at night.. all the proof I need is my very low electricity bill( no ac means low bills!! yay!)


5.CANDLES!!! There is something that screams fall and its the smell of my Christmas candles.. laugh at me you might.. but I light those things in November. Tim wont let me decorate quite yet so I get the Christmas spirit by lighting candles!



6. Christmas music! Anyone who knows me can tell you Im in love with Christmas music! It is my happy music! Tims been listening to it against his will and I think secretly he loves it!

Well I hope you all are doing wonderful and loving the holiday season! Stay Safe and be thankful!

... I'm a slacker thats why!

SOO much has happened since I last posted... why has so much happened you might ask, well I would be glad to tell you why...BECAUSE IM A SLACKER THATS WHY!! I have completely neglected the blogging world because of no other reason other than I am failing as a blogger! haha so here goes the mini readers digest version.
1.) Tim and I enjoyed a lovely vacation with my sweet older sister for a weekend.. there are a trillion pictures and since I am that little slacker, I am not gonna post them yet. BWAHAHAH
2.) I quit my job at the Physical Therapy office and now work in a wholesale boutique supplier called POUT IN PINK...if any of you have a girl out there, this might be the store you become addicted to quickly. not gonna lie, I dont have kids and I spend my paycheck there to stock up. It really is pathetic. Pretty sure I need a child.. (and just you wait when that happens Ill get a boy haha). but go check out the site poutinpink.com and be amazed!
3.) Tim and I hit 1 glorious year of marriage!! I could write the longest blog post in history about how much I love and adore that man, but Ill save that for the picture post that I plan on doing after we celebrate our anniversary a month late ( yes im a slacker at marriage sometimes too dont judge me! hahah)
4.) I decided that I am going to start doing hair again for less than HALF of what you would normally pay in a salon. so if you are interested in that shoot me a text, call, email, facebook, or post on this bad boy!
5.) my baby sister is gettin hitched this weekend so tim and I are plannin another road trip home!! cant wait for the glorious weather!! Thats right..be jealous! haha

ok sorry this is the lamest post ever! no pictures, no details, nothing really interesting for this one!! hope youre all doing well!!

AWE LOVE

Let me just start by simply stating.. I really do know that I am a blogging slacker. I get so caught up in stalking everyone elses blogs that I forget to do my own blog. I really am sorta a boring person but maybe here are the latest updates on Tim and I..

Last weekend we were able to travel to Utah for the Reidhead Family Reunion. This is a huge event that happens once a year. This year, I got to be a part of it and it was such a blast!!! We could not decide if we wanted to take our little fluffy puppy along for the ride. We did not know if we could leave her behind but were sorta worried that she would not have an easy ride.. but alas, we could not leave this little face behind. We just love her too much to forget her if even for a few days.




We left at 7pm and I was sooooo tired, however, we made it safely and were ready for the days events...even if we were mostly asleep. haha We got to the reunion and I realized, that I did not know half of Tim's cousins ( which was not really a surprise because there are about 7 million of them) We played some sweet games and ate some delish food!!! Then of course... we took a few pictures!!















Then we headed off to pizza hut for lunch!!! During our waiting session.. the girls got hungry and as I sat across the table from them, this is what they were doing...maybe we needed to feed them faster!






Then we got our pizza and bam..it disappeared!



After that we went back to the park and had dinner and a slide show of the growing family that surrounded us! What an amazing and beautiful experience it was!! I love the Reidhead family! I am so blessed to be a part of it!

Shes all grown up

Last Weekend my little sister came down to the valley to go wedding dress shopping for her big day! In my head she is supposed to be little forever and always be a child but it was super fun to see her as a bride! We literally spent only about an hour at the dress shop. She tried on some gorgeous gowns but picked the very first dress that she tried on and she looks PERFECT in it! I wish I could post a picture but, I dont want to ruin the surprise!

After we went shopping my sweet little mommy took all the sisters out to Olive Garden...YUMMY! Then we all headed to the mall.. these pictures are not the best because I took them on my phone. Apparently you are not supposed to take pictures of things in the store...too bad! BAHAH

This is Lacey and her firey redhead bridesmaids. .. such firecrackers but such sweethearts!



Tiff Really Felt this bow showed of her feminine side.. or her fish side.


I could not help but laugh when Ella popped behind Tiff so awkwardly for this picture. Tiff had no idea she was standing behind her. I love my sister in laws!


I am so glad Lacey is getting ready to join the married club! Shes such a fun little thing and it will be nice to have her move closer to me once she is married! I just love my seesters!!

In the last few weeks...

Well the last few weeks have been a little crazy and my blogging has gotten a little backed up.. so here is a catch up post.. yes its long, Ill try to keep it as short as I can.. HERE WE GO!

June 24, 2010 was my surgery date. As many of you know I had the biggest miracle of my life with this surgery... Everything went really well, minus the fact the mass was WAY bigger than expected and had some fingers attached that wrapped themselves around nerves,arteries, and bones in my wrist. They tested the mass for any signs of cancer and everything came back negative! We are both really relieved at this point! My mommy came down and was SUCH A BLAST! That little woman is super mom Ill tell you what! I am so lucky to have her in my life! I wish I had a cute picture to post of her adorable little self we probably would have freaked out with out her!
Although Not fully recovered, I am doing amazing and can FINALLY touch my pinky to my thumb and move my wrist in a circle!! Its been 3 years since I could do that! ha But seriously folks, we could not be more grateful for our surgeon. Dr. Fitzmaurice is the man!!! He did the mass removal and a carpal tunnel release on my hand, so there are 3 little scars.

This picture is 5 days Post Op and looking good!! (These next 2 Pictures are taken with my phone and are not such good quality.)



I think this 8 days Post Op..Still some bruising but not too bad as far as scaring will go!! woo hoo..


As previously mentioned, Tim and I now have a new addition to our little family! She is probably the funniest little puppy EVER! Tim gets her to growl and her growl sounds something between a high pitched cat purring and human doing the Spanish r sound ( if that makes any sense at all) She brings such a joy to our lives and she really is so stinking cute.Plus she is getting fat, which makes us love her a little more because she is a fat chub chub! haha We took her to the vet for a check up and she did so good.. then we took her to Snowflake with us for the Fourth and she slept the whole way there and back. She runs after us if we go up the stairs but sometimes cant jump the stairs cuz she is so small. She has to sit right next to your feet if you are not playing with her. She does not leave our sides. We are so grateful for a sweet little puppy that loves to be loved!





My baby sister got engaged... It was sorta bitter sweet for me, mostly because in my head she is supposed to be a baby forever. She literally just graduated this year but her fiance is a stud!! Such a good man and he is perfect for her! I am very excited for her!!!! CONGRATS LITTLE SIS!

The Reidhead family is SUPER athletic!This year they decided that they would play in the snowflake softball tournament.Tim did not sign up fast enough,but truth be told, I was really glad that he was there to sit with me.. I was only a few days out of surgery and I was feeling rather needy.. we did not take a whole lot of pictures this trip.. I am not really sure if that is because we were so busy or if I was just lazy.....Lets go with the busy excuse!

I love my darling hubby!! He does such a good job putting up with my photo addiction!! Hope everyone had an amazing holiday!!
