Rainy Day

Today is the rainiest boringest day I've had in a long time. So I decided to blog. And since I have nothing to blog about I am going to just write 11 random thoughts. Because since I've been sitting around doing nothing all day, I have a lot of those.

#1. I seriously have a love/hate relationship with the brick breaker game on my blackberry. I can't stop playing it but it's so annoying and I can't get passed level 8. Really, honestly, I have a love/hate relationship with my blackberry. Who decided it was a good idea to make a phone so confusing to use? I've only had it for a few days, and I'm starting to figure it out, but really...

#2. Today I was making lunch and sliced my finger open on our 5 year old falling apart dollar store cheese grater. So I put a band aid on and made Tyson drive me to walmart right then to buy new one.

#3. I am wearing jeans. WHAT? I am not a jean person, so why the heck am I wearing jeans on the most boring day of my life? I'll tell you why. Tyson said, lets go to Idaho Falls. so I went and put jeans on. Then he decided to play xbox with Riley instead and I am too lazy to change. It's probably good for me. I never get dressed anymore. I wear scrubs to work, come home and change into sweats, sleep in my garments, then wake up and put sweats back on. Or scrubs if I'm going to work.

#4. My ringtone for when my mom calls me is O Canada.

#5. I've read the hunger games books twice now, and love them. I hope the movie is good, because I loved the twilight books too but then I watched the movies and hated them and it kind of ruined the books for me.

#6. I was ticked off that the globetrotters didn't win the Amazing race last night. Even though I was still mad at them for U turning the coyboys and making them get eliminated.

#7. My middle name is Jean. When I was in elementary school I hated that name and told everyone my middle name was Jay. Then my cousin Justin told everyone I lied one day at recess and I was so embarrassed. Now I like my middle name so it's all good.

#8. I bought Tyson 2 fish for Easter. The little one lived for 2 days. The big one lived for 1 week. Tyson's aunt gave me a potted plant for easter. I just hope I'm better at plants than I am at fish.

#9. One day when our big fish was still alive, Alisha and BJ (our neighbors) snuck to our house while we were gone and put their little fish in with our big fish. When I got home I FREAKED out cuz I thought my big fish had a baby. Litterally was shocked and spazzing. My little 11 year old sister had to tell me that's not how fish have babies.

#10. I am writing this on Riley's computer. Our computer is broken and someone we know is trying to fix it. Ask me if this is the second time in like a month that our computer has broken? Ask me if that makes me mad. Ask me if I backed up my journal this time so I didn't lose it again? Yes/yes/no. :(

#11. Since it was mother's day yesterday...I have the most AMAZING mom in the entire world. I love her so much and am so unbelievably grateful for everything that she does. She is such an amazing example to me and I hope one day I can be even half the person that she is! If I had my computer I would post a picture of her and I.

Well...thats all I got! :)

guess what we got?

So I'm so excited about mine and Tyson's last purchase!! We bought a QUAD! YES!! (That's a four wheeler to all the American crazies).



Ya, we are SO excited! We love quading and basically spend our summers at Tyson's cabin riding around and relaxing and just having fun, but we always had to borrow from his family. So this year we decided to buy our own and then not have to feel bad everytime we want to go. It works our perfect because I can ride this and Tyson can ride his motor bike and we will be riding fools. :)
Only problem is it won't get warm here!! We bought this like 2 weeks ago and I've ridden it 1 time because all it will do here is RAIN and SNOW. I WANT IT TO BE SUMMER. so since I'm reminiscing last summer, here are some awesome pictures from our adventures last year...



Sooo attractive. I love that guy.




I rock. Notice how warm it was...how I didn't need a coat outside. I'm so jealous of that right now.



Family trip?

Anyways...I'm mostly just stalling because I am on call for work tonight and I never know when I can go to bed because I don't want to go to bed just to get called into work. That would suck.

Boys and their toys!

So yesterday Tyson and me went shopping. Except not the good kind of shopping. BOY shopping. :( Haha. Before we got married he got in a really nasty car wreck. His grandpa's truck was totaled, his cell phone got smashed in half, he ended up getting shoulder surgery because of it, he couldn't move for weeks after it, but not one of those things bothered him even half as much as this:


Yup. His precious shot gun was in the car with him and got ruined. For the life of me I'll NEVER understand it! I mean, I have nothing against guns, but I grew up in a home where we never had them! My mom is definitally not a fan cuz of some past expiriences she had, and my dad sold his shot gun to buy my mom a wedding ring, and never got another one! I met Tyson, and he took me shooting a lot, which was fun and all, but I guess I just never came to LOVE it.

Anyways, for a year and a half Tyson has waited for the case to be settled so that he could get the money to replace it. And things were getting close to finished the last month and ALL I've heard from him was begging to get different kinds of guns. And on Wednesday, after sitting in mediation with lawyers and judges for 8 hours, his case was finally closed, and Tyson got the funds he needed to get himself a new toy.

So Thursday, bright and early, Tyson started begging me to let him go buy one. Mostly cuz I was so sick of hearing him ask I gave in and we went boy shopping in Idaho Falls. Honestly Sportsmans warehouse is one store I have no interest in. Tyson gets almost as excited there as he does at the tractor stores! We had to run around and look at camping gear, and all the different stuffed REAL animals, and the fishing stuff (all these extra's cuz we were "there anyways!") and finally the guns. Then I had to stand next to Tyson while he talked for HOURS (it felt like) about the different guns they had with the sales guy, who kept giving me the "you don't belong here" look. Finally after MUCH deliberation, Tyson bought this:

Ok, so not that exactly, I don't think, but it looks just like that. I'm not gunna lie, Tyson would probably walk in and look at that and say, that is not at all the gun I bought, but if you put them both side by side, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference! Sooo after a long afternoon of boy shopping I made Tyson take me to Kohls, where I could spend the gift certificate we got for Christmas. I bought this:



well, not exactly this...but it's the closest picture I could find. And not the bed, just the bedding. It made up for everything! :)

Been a while?

Ya, its been a while. I figured out the whole working nights thing, kinda, and finished up my orientation at work and now only work part time. So that was a good break! And I keep thinking, I need to blog, but then I remember nothing exciting ever happens in our lives lately. Sooo I am just going to write down all the boring stuff.

Tyson got surgery in December on his shoulder. Seriously watching him come out of anesthesia was the FUNNIEST thing I have ever seen. They had these things on his legs that fill with air and then deflait to help with circulation after surgery and every time they would fill up he would yell at me to lock our cat up in the laundry room cuz she kept biting his toes. haha I was laughing so hard. He took forever to wake up and so he had a lot of funny comments that night. It was well worth it...I wish I would have video'd it. After that he had to learn how to sit at home for a few weeks which left me with a very grumpy husband since he does not handle sitting at home and doing nothing. But he's doing a lot better now. He even started physical therapy today! YA



Isn't he cute?? That was after he finally woke up HOURS after his surgery! poor guy was way sore for the next few days but I got to practice my best wife/nursing skills and take great care of him.

We got to go to Canada for New Years - I had to work Christmas...sad day...but we had tons of fun in Canada. Even though it was freezing the whole week we were there!

I started watching PSYCH on netfilx cuz we got a sweet new blu-ray player that plays netflix on it so that I can watch movies and tv shows instantly. Love it? Yes I do. I think I have watched more TV than I ever have in my life in the last few weeks.

Anyways...thats all I have to say. Maybe one day I will have exciting stuff to talk about?

sooo sleepy!!!

So here's my predicament. I've never been much of a morning person, but I've always been terrible at staying up late. Anyone who knows me knows I could probably count the number of nights I've stayed up all night on one hand. And all month I have been working day shifts, meaning I've had to get up at 5 am, but I got to be in bed by 8 or 8:30 every night. Which I was actually ok with, and FINALLY after all month I was used to waking up that early. But now that October is over, I have to work the night shift all next month. And my first week I get to do 3 nights in a row. And so between now and Tuesday night I have to teach my body to stay up late and sleep all day. Yesterday I did EVERYTHING I could to stay awake till midnight and didnt make it past 10:30, and then was up by 7 today. So tonight I HAVE to make it till midnight but I'm struggling right now. And if I was at work I would still have 7 hours left. So I desperately need some suggestions on how to stay up all night from all you night time people! Cuz I'm not sure how next week at work is going to go! HELP! Cuz this is how I feel right now...

Disaster week!!

ok. Anyone who knows me well knows that I have 2 main loves in my life (besides Tyson of course). They are:


and

Yup. That's right. Popcorn and rice. They are seriously my two staples. Even looking at these pictures is giving me the craving. And so naturally I would consider the events that happened this week a disaster. First...Thursday night I came home from work STARVING. So I filled up my rice cooker and turned it on and went and showered. I got out of the shower, got dressed, went to check on my rice...and nothing had happened. And there were no lights on it! So I plugged it into 3 different outlets...still no lights. Disaster right?
But at least I still had my popcorn! So tonight, me and Tyson are getting ready to start our traditional Sunday night of watching Amazing Race and eating popcorn...and I fill up my popcorn popper and turn it on...and nothing. after about 5 minutes of it doing its thing I got about 5 kernals! I want to cry!
Good thing its almost my birthday, right?

Such a grown up!

Sooo...I started my new job this week! YA! Actually its been pretty boring so far! haha. I have spent 8 hours a day in the HR office doing my orientation, which means I was watching presentations and powerpoints ALL day. Just like school! Except better cuz I got paid? I start my first hospital shift on Monday...so wish me luck?
I'm just so excited to be a real nurse!! Even though it means getting up at 5 AM and working 12 hour days. I just love taking care of people and meeting people and making them feel even a little bit better. If I could get over my tendancy to pass out at the site of blood, things would be great! (jk! I only did that once! :) )
Mostly this week has been long. Tyson would usually leave just as I was waking up, and I was usually asleep before he even got home! He did leave me a note this morning, telling me he loved me but not to buy the scrubs I had already ordered online cuz he saw the picture and thought the models were skanky!
Anyways...this is a really boring post. I'll add pictures to make it cooler!

Me and Tys getting ready to go GO KARTING!





Tyson's first time in BC! On our hike to Wall lake. He loves hiking...



This is him being sooo excited to go on our hike!



Seriously the kid didnt crack a smile all day! haha but I was just happy he came!



Me and my mama hiking the summit! CRAZY long...but it was fun!
