When You Don't Come Out and Play, You Get Tee'peed

This week Chris and I went to a free concert on the River where a shooting friend of ours was playing. Chris said I was too young for it because it was old rock songs I didn't know. But, It was a good time and a nice cool night outside by the river supporting a local band.

On one of my days off my sister decided to be adventurous and take out her newborn and her 11 month old out to the lake. Me being aunty nanny, of course I went along to help. It was a successful day and no one cried (too much.) 




Is he just the sweetest babe?


My attempt at eating healthy this week was pretty successful. My work out routine was almost non-existent though. Since the Fourth of July I didn't have much time and only made it to the gym once this week. Can someone just add an extra hour to my day everyday so I can go work out? I've got a gut to work on. 




We are on week 2 of Chris at  home from being laid off. He still hasn't found a job yet. BUT he has been doing the laundry, which I will not complain about. Since we have more time together we went to the range to shoot. I shot a shotgun for the first time and almost didn't cry. Chris has two 12 gauge shotguns, a shorter barrel and a longer barrel. They almost knocked me over and the longer one was almost as tall as me, and I have a bruise around my armpit. I am not a big fan of shooting rifles but I am a fan of trying new things occasionally. 


This is the look of "what the hell just happened"

 Friday night was our monthly Bunco night. It was so much fun! We started off the night with pre-gaming at the gas station with caffeine. The theme for Bunco was Christmas in July. Equipped with Christmas decor, Christmas breakfast, and Christmas prizes. After Bunco we took the party to a local bar downtown, and rolled up like gangsters in a minivan. We sat outside on the patio for a while and talked, drank, and ate more. Our friend Lisa wasn't able to make it to Bunco this month because she had to work so a few of us went to her work, at a behavioral health center, and Tee'peed her car! We almost got caught when one of the employees pulled up, so we ran to our get away car-the mini van, and the flashers came on. We were so sneaky. In the end Lisa was sad she missed out on Bunco and we missed her terribly.
My concealed carry outfit for Bunco. I am still loving this belly wrap. I carried on my back that night and it was super comfortable. 










Saturday morning there was a USPSA match. I haven't been doing much shooting lately and it definitely has shown. I actually thought I did pretty well in the match yesterday but when I checked out the scores I placed last. I haven't been last in a long time. I have usually been placing about in the middle. I was pretty disappointed, and just a few months ago I was shooting pretty good and scoring well. I don't think my head is in it anymore right now. I have so much going on that I just don't think I have been focused too much on it. Time to pick up my game and get back at it! First, Chris needs to get a job. 






And lastly, Jasper got himself a fur-cut and looks just the cutest!

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 ...

Valentines Day

 Valentines day is a very special day for us. Nine years ago we went on our first date. Nine years ago I was doing some not so good things with my life. I drank a lot, did drugs, and smoked cigarettes. Not the ideal thing for a Mormon girl to be doing. I did not have much support and just hung out with people who did the same things as me. I knew I wanted to changed and be better but I didn't know how. I prayed one night the Lord would send me someone who would help me with my drinking and smoking because I couldn't do it alone. One day in January I went to church,  at the singles ward, pretty hung over from the night before. But hey, at least I was at church! I remember seeing this boy from a distance and something struck me. You know love at first sight? Thats kind of what happened, except it wasn't exactly love; there was just something about him that I needed in my life. He saw me sitting alone in Sunday school and he asked to sit next to me. I looked around the empty...

Christmas

My friends think they know me or something.... Amy made a shirt that says "Trophy Receptionist" in GOLD, and Ginger gave me socks that said " You're Not The Boss of Me" It's like they think I act like a princess, but I don't ;). I was pretty excited for my socks and shirt My lady lumps make it hard to read my shirt!  Since it was the week before Christmas we really didn't have a lot of patients. Amy and I made one of our famous music videos, I am going to try to post it right here but don't know if it will work.  I went to Sam's Club with my sister one day and hung out with my super cute nephews. I want to squeeze and kiss them all the time! They are the most kissable boys ever! Well, So is Chris! The little one is just chillin like a gangsta.  With my Christmas bonus I bought myself an Alex and Ani bracelet. These are super popular in Rhode Island and they have a store in Salt Lake City too. They were start...
