Going for a Swim

We put Toby in our little "pond" this afternoon to see how he would like the water and I don't think he was to fond of it! It was funny though to watch "swim" and kick his little paws! Although it was sad when we tried to get out and fell back in :( Poor guy! He is ok and Iam sure he won't be going in the water ever again. We tried to get him to go back outside but he didn't because he knew what was out there "waiting" for him! I love him.....

As you can tell from this pic he wasn't too happy about being in the water

Rollerblading

 


Me and Bear went rollerblading a couple of weeks ago and it was alot of fun! Its been a while since I last went rollerblading so I was pretty rusty but after a while I got a little better! Bear loves blading so he had a lot of fun and it was really fun to watch him just be excited about these little things :)

Easter

We had my parents and brother and sisters come over to our home for Easter! Its always fun to have them over and sit and talk. I love my family and am very greatful for them.

My Brother and sisters.....we have 1 other brother on a mission

My Cute parents!

and us...

I am loving it!

So my sister Elaine is staying with us for a while and Iam just loving it! She is here with me when Bear is gone all day at work and at the gym and keeps me company! I now have someone to watch my mtv shows with, go grocery shopping with, and just another girl to talk with!

I came the other day and she did the dishes for me and cleaned the kitchen for me! How nice is that! After that I felt bad for not being the good wife I should be! Her being here for a while will help me and put into check :)

Last night we made dinner!! And this is another positive of her being here, we can make dinner together! From previous posts, we all know that I am not the best cook and don't really have the desire to cook but last night I actually enjoyed cooking and it turned out really yummy! We made chicken enchiladas and for desert chocolate covered strawberries and bananas! The enchiladas were easier to make than I thought and turned out good! And Bear really enjoyed them which is a ++. After this whole cooking "experience" I think I just might enjoy cooking and will hopefully get better and better!

Mini Road Trip

Me &Bear took a mini road trip. We left Thursday to Missouri to go and see my sister. Thursday was not the best plane trip I have ever had. On our first plane going to Utah we had really bad turbulence and my stomach did not like that AT ALL! It was the worst. At times it felt like the plane was falling and that really freaked me out. Right at that moment I was warning Bear that he needed to find me something quick because something was going to happen. I was so glad that we brought our own plastic bags because the plane did not have any of those bags for people that get sick. And we still had to go on one more plane because we had a layover and I was not looking forward to the ride at all because I didn't want to get sick again...And luckily on that the last flight I didn't get sick at all. So I was happy about that. I don't think I want to be taking any trips that require going on a plane for a while, I would rather drive.

We finally made it to Missouri at about 6pm and headed to my sisters house. And then we left at about 8:30 and made our way back to Arizona. She is visiting for a LONG time so we drove her car back. It took us about 25 hours to drive back. We stopped in Colorado to sleep for a few hours and look around the beautiful state. We drove through Colorado because that is the one place where we would love to move to if we were able to move out of Arizona. Its so pretty there and it was snowing like crazy. We visited some sites there and then drove the rest of the way to Arizona. Although we had to drive for 25 hours it was a really fun road trip and Iam happy that my sister is here :)

Us at the mall.....We had to make at least one stop:)

Isn't Colorado Beautiful!

4 Years

Today I hit the 4 year mark at my job! I can't believe I have been here that long already! I enjoy my job for the most part. Lets see here, for the past 2 years I have been wanting to look for a new job but never get the nerve to do it! I think its time. It would just be nice to be able to work closer to our house. We live in El Mirage and I work out at 19th and Buckeye. Not the funnest drive in the world. But the perk of working here is that they give me a company car and pay for the gas, maintenance, and insurance on it and that saves me a lot of money in the end. So we will see where the next year or so will take me. Hopefully I will get the guts to go and talk to my boss. Whenever I say to myself, "OK this is the day Iam going to talk to my boss" I freeze up and forget what I want to say and get really nervous and end up not talking to him. I think there is something wrong with me.

For Sale

As most of you know, our house has been for sale, and then not for sale, and then for sale, etc. But now Bear REALLY wants to move so this is for real....I figured that since there are alot of people that blog surf that this could maybe be a way to advertise our home :) And if any of you know anyone that is wanting to move send them our way! Here are some pics of our home:

Bear has worked VERY hard on all the projects he has accomplished here and has A LOT of hours into it all!

* There is now water in the pond, it has the waterfall, and he even put in a little bench in the "pond" so we could sit in it and sip our water and Dr. Pepper :)
