Will Gamble for Ammo

Let's first address how amazing this trip has been. I have not needed to do the dishes, baby the dogs, do homework, do  laundry, scrub the bathroom, do Women of Caliber stuff (not that I hate that) or go to work (not that I hate that either).  And Breakfast in bed, who invented that? I'd like to give them a high five. And the breakfast in bed is even better when you don't have to make it. Thank you Hampton Inn.





Thursday I went to the LDS Temple. And I almost didn't even die on the highway there. Boy that was scary! I grew up learning how to drive in big city traffic, but Idaho has ruined me and turned me into a small town girl. The temple was perfect. It was so nice and peaceful to get away from the world and think about life. I walked around the grounds for a bit and sat down next to a fountain. It was nice to be by myself for a minuet, although I would have loved Chris to be there with me. After the temple I ate a healthy lunch of In n Out, in bed. All meals should be consumed in bed. I then spent the rest of my afternoon laying by the pool. That can never get old, and I don't want it to end. Growing up in Rhode Island I became a sun goddess. I lived in the sun and soaked myself in its rays either at the beach, our pool, or in a tanning bed.





This is a scared Idaho Girl in Vegas traffic





That evening we went to dinner and shopping. I bought myself a pretty sweet pair of new nikes. We then went to the Orleans for some gambling. There also Happened to be a Rock a Billy convention going on that Chris was loving.


Chris is done with his training so we were able to spend the day together. I found a steel challenge in mesquite that we were going shoot in, that I was extremely excited for! I was so excited to wear my jersey and say I competed in Vegas. My heart broke when they cancelled it. I was devastated and my tender hearted self started to cry. I had been looking forward to it for so long. Instead we ate Papusas and I was sad to eat them without Mama Jo. She loves a good skanky restaurant. We then went to Fremont Street where the New Englander in me went crazy over Dunkin Donuts. This is also when I won $58 on a slot machine!! I was so exited, I'm going to buy ammo with it! That's what every girl does with an extra $58, right? Since the week has been full of un healthy eating, we ate at Whole Foods for dinner. It was so nice to eat a meal that wasn't processed. After dinner we went to the movie theater and watched The Boss. So funny, I recommend it, unless you don't like swearing, then it's not for you.





The bathroom at the theater hurt my eyes. Orange walls, and I had on a peach sweater, it was all too much.

Tomorrow we leave Sin City for Utah. We will stay the night in Utah and head home to Idaho on Sunday. Vegas, I will miss you with your sunshine and slot machines. I will be back again.

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
