Bunco night and Women of Caliber date

I have played bunco once a month with the same ladies for the last 7 years. I love it. Its a night to get out, girl talk, eat food, party,get crazy and dress up. Bunco is a dice game of luck. You have to have 12 people to play, you pay 10 dollars to play and you get dinner and a prize. In the beginning of the year you sign up to host which entails cooking dinner for 12, thinking of a theme, and buying prizes. I love when we have themed buncos and get to dress up. This month We had a toga theme, full of delicious Greek food that made me regret everything I did when I woke up in the morning. I am sad I didn't get a picture of the food. It was fantastic!

Don't you love my pretty friends?

Saturday Women of Caliber went to a painting place to pain pictures of....GUNS! (obviously) It was a valentines' date so we could invite our spouses. It was a fun time, after that we went out to dinner and enjoyed more of each others company.

Sunday was Valentines day. As Chris and I were sitting in church I kept thinking of how we met in the singles ward and our time there. It was nice to be able to spend valentines at church and remember all those times. We had a very low key day after that, consisted of visiting family, laying on the couch and watching TV.

Easter and Not Having Friends at Church

I had the privilege of teaching the Easter lesson this Sunday. I taught on the Savoir's last week on earth. I hid Easter eggs all over the room with scpritures on Christ inside them. The girls loved the Easter egg hunt because their parents say they are too old for egg hunts. Sunday's are hard sometimes. I caught my self crying during sacrament today. well, because I have no friends. About a year ago our Ward was dissolved. I had a lot of friends at church, some who have become my best friends. My good friend Jenni who lives a block away and was really my only friend in the ward, moved across town yesterday. Another family I am friends with is moving as well. Church is the hardest place to make friends. I feel like because I don't have kids, and I'm not a newly wed, I don't fit in with any of the groups. The people my age have a million kids, and the couples without kids are kids themselves and just got married like last week, and no one has really wanted to be my

2016

I have sat and thought a lot about what I am going to say in this post. So much has happened this year, its been rough but it also has been a blessing. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right? I learned a lot this year. First of all the biggest thing I learned that I definitely paid for was listening to bad feelings. I learned what true friendship was, and saw the ones who cared and saw the ones who didn't. I learned about priorities and what really is important in life. I learned of death and that death is not the end. I learned patience. Maybe I didn't learn patience but I tolerated patience. I learned and always knew that no matter what happens in life that you and your spouse are all that matters. Lets start off with January. Chris was working at the juvenile detention center 45 minuets away from our house. This was a wonderful job opportunity that we both felt so good about. It started to become rough. He was gone all the time and we never saw each other. He

Treat Yo Self!

I love to pamper myself, on a budget of course. But what girl doesn't? I promise I am in no way high maintenance, hence the fact all my clothes come from Wal Mart, I'm obsessed with guns and I love the outdoors. But there is a side of me who loooooves to get her nails did and spend too much money on all the pretty makeup. My friends own a beauty school here in my town and I get all my beauty services done there, 1, its a really good price and 2, the students need to learn and I am not picky! Plus some of my friends work there and its fun to see them! I also think it might be a problem when the receptionist knows its you on the phone... Since school is destroying my life I haven't been to the salon in forever!! Also, my bestie JP moved away and we would go get our nails done every two weeks. Last week I decided I NEEDED a microderm. Basically, a microderm is someone with a sandpaper machine going over your face with it to get rid of dead skin cells which can result in glowin
