Blah

Feel like crap.... bugs in my house.... middle of the week grave yard..... crazy day at work.....stressed beyond belief.... stinkin hot house.....BLAH! Bring on tomorrow!

WHAT A MAN!

I am so hopessly in love with my Justin. Tonight I came home to the garbage taken out, the laundry pretty much completely done, and the clothes hanging in my closet organized by color. I fall more and more in love with my Husband every day. Thanks for all your hard work for our family babe!

Medical Conclusion...

SELECTIVE MEN'S SYNDROME

Definition: When men don't want to admit some of the things that are a part of normal, every day life.
Stage One: Selective Hearing- comments like, "huh", or "you never told me that," are normal answers when the selective Hearing stage has set in. Its funny how they hear what they want... Instead of what was said.

Stage Two: Selective Smelling- occurs 3 years into your marriage (probably earlier if you have kids). Stinky Diapers are the most occuring selective smell...

* I'm sure there are many more stages... but sadly...this is where we are at at my house.

I came home tonight to Justin babysitting his nieces. As soon as I walk in the house, this awful smell hits my nose (and because I've had a cold, my sense of smell is almost nonexistant). When I say "someone is stinky," Justin replies...."That must have just happened, I didn't smell anything." So I change the cuplrit.... there is NO WAY that just happened.... We were lucky it didn't go on any longer or we would have had a MAJOR blow out!

This must be a part of being married for 3 years. It used to be, "honey, someone is stinky, its your turn to change them," but tonight stage 2 has set in, and it is now "I didn't smell anything".... Women, Beware of Selective Men's Syndrome.

Three Years Down Our Path....

And Eternity To Go!


I guess you know when you've hit that 3 year mark, because even though anniversaries are special.... sometimes life gets too busy to celebrate too much :). Between Turbos, Yard Work, Church Interviews, My Work, and Grave Yards for Justin..... There hasn't been much time to celebrate, but ya know, I wouldn't change a bit of it for the world! I am so happy to be married to such a wonderful man. I'm so lucky to have a man who, every single day, I can't wait to get home and be with. A man that makes me laugh, is a great example, and makes me want to be a better person in everything I do. So even though your sleeping soundly right now..... I love you Justin! Thanks for being such a wonderful husband and amazing man. I don't know where I would be without you, and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Lovin' Every Minute!

Life is GREAT isn't it! We are having such a great time as a married couple! One week from tomorrow we will have been married for 3 years. Crazy huh? I am such a blessed girl to have such a wonderful husband. I honestly have no idea where I would be without him. I love him so much, and I'm so happy to be his wife! Justin makes me laugh every single day. Here is one of my favorite "Justin Funnies" for the week.

Justin and I decided to BBQ last Sunday. We've never cooked ribs before.... so we thought we would give it a try. I called my mom and she said that pork needs to be white to eat it.... no pink. So we cooked, and cooked, and cooked them. And they turned out awesome, right! They looked beautiful, and tasted even better......

Except for one. It had alot of pink in the middle, so we decided to put it back on the grill. Justin had put the grill on high so that the extra stuff would burn off..... Not quite thinking about that little detail, we put the ribs back on for a few minutes. Justin went out to get the ribs and came back in with this look on his face. Showed me the ribs...

Then told me to go look behind the BBQ.... This is what I saw....

Yup, your right that's our siding stickin out there.... The BBQ just happened to be a little too close to the house, and totally melted our siding! Luckily, we had a few extra pieces the people that sided the house left, so its all fixed now! It was pretty funny though!

On Monday... I GOT A PIANO! No its not new, No its not perfect, but YES, Its MINE! I haven't been so excited about something in a really really long time! It's been stored in a feed shed, so it was really really dirty, but after at least 8 hours of cleaning it...

It now looks like THIS!

Not too bad for FREE huh? Its a little beat up, needs tuned, and the inside needs cleaned... But for the most part it works, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE It! Its been so nice to have a REAL Piano to practice and play on!

We have also been working on the yard... Inbetween crazy spring storms, sticking snow, and COLD wind! Thanks to Brady, we were able to get our well dug. We were a little worried about putting all this money into a surface well, and having it produce no water, but we have 6 feet of water thus far... so hopefully it will continue to work "well" for us!

This hole doesn't look too deep in this pic, but it's about 14 feet deep. It was pretty dark by the time we got the pipe put in there so we didn't get any pictures of it, but it seems to be doin its job! We are hoping that it will work good enough to water our lawn that we are getting.... In JUNE!

Now that we have the well dug, we are getting the sprinkler system done. The 1 weekend that we could actually rent the trencher we needed, we woke up to snow. So, we pulled out the ol' long underwear, long sleeved shirts, hoodies, and carharts and got to work. The trencher got stuck once... thanks to the awesome mud the snow left! We got the lines painted, and trenches dug. Our yard still looks like this because we weren't able to put down the poly pipe since the weather wouldn't cooperate.

We are hoping that the weather will cooperate a little better for us this week so we can get a few more things done in the yard. I have the brick that needs put up around the house for the flower bed, and get the pipe down for the sprinkler system.... Guess we will wait and see!
