Gambling and Guns

First off, remember my eye problems? I was having troubles driving at night and my friends were scared to death. The Doc did a different exam, and gave me a new prescription. I ordered new specks, and they came in the mail Friday. I love them. once I put them on I could see PERFECTLY! Its like a whole new world I never knew was there, And my glasses are extra big and extra nerdy. Love it. Chris keeps calling me an owl. But that's how I roll. Like in my last post, I am going for the nerdy genealogist look.

Friday night was our monthly Bunco night! It was a pajama theme. The best idea ever. Thank you to Amy for letting us go out, in our jammies, and eat as much as we can and not feel bad about it because jeans were not restricting our guts. After bunco we took the after party to Kohls to spend our winnings. At this point we were still in our pajamas, and it was only slightly embarrassing, we should have went to Wal-Mart instead, it would have looked normal.

Saturday morning was my first outdoor USPSA match of the season. The day was beautiful and the weather was perfect. I had so much fun and I did pretty well. In the first stage, I got almost all alpahas. The husbands shot with us, and they call themselves "Men of Caliber" we took a picture of them and it was quite comical. Most of the men we shoot with are pretty jealous of our jerseys and always say they want to make a team. I have yet to see that happen. But our men should have shirts that say "Husbands of Caliber" or something fun like that. I got 40th out of 45 total, and 4th out of 7 for the Ladies. The best part was I got to spend time with Chris and some of my other favorite people.

And, I always end my blog posts with my pets. Here's what I have for the week.

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

I like older men.

This weekend was Christopher's birthday!! My main man is 33 now, I'm still holding on to my mid twenties like my life is depending on it. We went for a short get a way to the big city, Salt Lake City. Left the dogs with the grand parents and off we went. After I doused myself in essential oils I was calm enough to sit as a passenger in the car. I think I made my self too sick with anxiety and worry. Tears were shed for no reason in the middle of a resturant and hanging over the toilet Happened. It's either my anxiety or these fertility drugs I was taking. But I have my big girl panties on and can handle this! The first thing we did was hit up Cripsy Cream. It's like heaven in your mouth. Lunch was at Roadizo Grill. We took our selves shopping and back to the hotel for rest. The next morning we found a random Ward to attend to take the sacrament, stopped to take a look at the Brigham City Temple, and got back on the road. Like I said, this was a super fast trip. When
