we are ACCEPTED!!

Looks like our offer has been ACCEPTED!!! We will be home owners again late this summer! WOO HOO! It still needs to be built. We picked out our lot, which we are excited about. We will go pick out our colors for the inside probably Monday or Tuesday next week! Here is an "artist rendering" of our cute little house (no Kevin didn't do it).


I wanted to thank Jeff & Jenn and Ray & Emily for a very FUN evening last night!! We'll have to do it more often.

I sprained my ankle this week at work. I felt SO stupid. It was a freak little accident. It happened on Wednesday. I went to the Doc on Friday and he put me on crutches for about 4-5 days or until i can walk on it with minimal pain. Joy of Joys!

We are heading to Rigby for the day. We are excited! Our friend's son is getting baptized. It will be GREAT to see them again! We are heading out early so we can see two of their boys wrestle this morning. This should be good!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!

another update

I've been meaning to write posts the last week and never get around to it. It's strange how I've slowed down on the writing and viewing of blogs to just 2-3 days a week when it used to be like 2-3 times a day! So no fear, i still check, it's just not as often. Keep posting everyone!

Things are good here. I'm the work out queen. I've been going to the gym VERY faithfully for the last few weeks. It's GREAT! I feel like i might actually do it this time! Though i need to get some good workout music. Any suggestions?? I need about an hours worth or more so i can mix it up.

We FINALLY did our taxes last Saturday...we are NOT paying this year! WOO HOO!!!! We aren't getting much back either, but i don't care. As long as we aren't paying! We've paid the last 2-3 years!

We went Frisbee Golfing on Saturday. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Quite the little exercise too. We ended up going 20 holes. LOL. We would totally go again! I think that was the best I've ever thrown a Frisbee! LOL.

We are meeting with a mortgage company today at lunch to get our "pre-qualify" letter. Hopefully all will go smoothly. YEAH!!! Then we will meet with our Realtor to put an offer on a house. YEAH!!!! I am SO excited!!

That's gotta be it for now. I really need to get ready for work.

Peep Show

So wrong...but Hilarious!

Twin Falls Temple Open House

I decided to borrow our neighbors Sunday newspaper this morning. I need to wrap it back up and stick it outside their door. I AM SO GLAD I DID!!! Right on the front page is the EXCITING news of the Twin Falls LDS Temple Open House/Dedication. I am SO excited!!! So if anyone wants to come you have a place to stay with us!!! :)

The open house to the public is July 11-Aug 16. July 8-10 is for neighbors of the Temple and community leaders and such.

CONGRATS Dyan!!!

Just a shout out for my darling darling friend Dyan. She just opened her mission call this evening to Neuquen, Argentina. Literally i was one of the first persons she called. I feel so special! :) I SO guessed wrong. I said like Europe (England, Sweden, etc..) and Kevin guessed the SLC Temple Square Mission. We were WAY off! I'm so excited for her!! She will be a FANTASTIC Missionary.

Much love Dyan!!!!

early morning

I was up at 5:30 this morning. Got dressed. Went straight over to the gym. Worked out for ONE WHOLE HOUR! woo hoo!

GO JACKIE GO JACKIE GO JACKIE

Better make this a daily occurrence. My old Doc wanted me to work out 5-6 days a week! Lets see if i can do it.

i had a dream...

...well actually it was more like a nightmare. I dreamed (don't know another word that sounds better.) that it snowed over a foot last night. I looked out side first thing this morning...and it's raining. I LOVE THE RAIN! I hope its just another sign of Spring on its way. When we were coming home from work yesterday at 6pm, it was 55 degrees! WOO HOO!!!!!!

Red-Neck High Rise

Or as i call it...white trash at its finest and most creative. :)

holy cow!

So people are mentioning "Jon & Kate plus 8". I have not seen the show before (we have no cable-just whatever we get with our rabbit ears). So i looked it up on line and viewed a few clips. HOLY COW!! What craziness!!! But they seem like the best parents!

I have always thought I'd have triplets. Kevin freaks out at the mention of it. But he said the other day "if we had triplets you know we'd be done, right?!" I replied "oh yes for sure." LOL.

I guess you just appreciate what you can get. If it's one great. If it's six great. We'd just try to be the best parents possible.

weekend update

Well our appt went good. We met with the Dr. Talked about all that we've done in the past. What we are currently doing, and what we are looking to do. The Dr took us in a room and did an ultrasound. Confirmed (again) that i do have PCOS. We did some blood work and then sent on our way. She said to call when we are ready to start the meds/shots. I have a personal goal of loosing 15-20 lbs before we start the meds. So wish me luck. I'm going to need it. LOL.

We did have Panda for lunch. YUMMY! Then we went to Barnes & Noble, which was HUGE and found Kevin a great art book. Our B&N's art section sucks. LOL. We then found our way to the Boise Temple. Very small, but still beautiful and wonderful. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE TWIN FALLS TEMPLE!!! It will be nice to go more often and SO close to home! We then met up with Kevin's friend Chad. Had dinner with him, Olive Garden. Again...yummy! Then we were on our way home. Long but good day.

Saturday we looked at more houses and found a GREAT neighborhood we REALLY like. So we are just waiting to hear back from "our Realtor" to see when we can go look at them. I think our hunt is coming to an end. YEAH!!!

THANKS Emily for stopping by yesterday it was so nice to see you and the kids and catch up a bit. I can't wait to get together more often.

Thank you everyone for your comments lately. I love knowing people do read my blog.

more updates

Well i seem to be on a roll of making just "update" posts. So here i go.

Friday the 29th was my last day at the Hospital. I was sad to leave some of the people i worked with, but not the actual job. I have noticed some improvements in my health and attitude with in the last few days of being away from the hospital. Which is a good thing. I kept it pretty quiet that i was leaving. I didn't want to make a big deal about it. People were still just finding out i was leaving the day before and the day of my departure.

March 3rd I started working with Kevin out in Jerome. It's been great! The drive in on my first day we were like "ok this is weird". But we have had no problems seeing A WHOLE LOT MORE of each other this week. LOL. Our work like i said before doesn't make us mingle. But it's such a small place that you can hear each other all the time.

Oh, i guess I'll tell you what i do. It's purely Data entry. I update addresses and circulation type things. I'll help answer phones when needed and I'll help with billing when it's time for that as well. I really like! :)

Today we are taking the day off of work. I have my Doctors appt with a Fertility specialist out in Boise. Not sure what they are going to do or say today, so we'll see how it goes. It's about a 2 hr drive. We are going to go to the Temple as well. I have never been to the Boise Temple, so i am pretty excited. We might try to see some friends out there, I'm not sure.

That's really all that is happening with us. Still house hunting. Haven't committed to anything yet. Which sometimes is frustrating and sometimes OK. LOL.

wii weekend

Friday Feb 29th was Kevin's Dad Doug's retirement party. We headed out there around 3pm to go to his city party. He worked for the City of Heyburn for 34 years! For Doug's retirement we all pitched in to get Doug a Wii, Linda did the most "pitching in". He has been wanting one, and Linda didn't want to spend the $$. Well she decided to do it for his retirement gift. He was so excited! So that Friday we played, laughed and had a great time. Kevin & I played till about midnight and then he went played by himself until after 1am! The rest of us had went to bed. Here are some pictures of our weekend of Wii!

Kevin & Jeff truly getting into the boxing.

Victory was Kevin's that match

Then it was boxing for me & Barbara (Jeff's wife)

Then it was time for Kevin & Doug to play some baseball

Linda & I on Saturday playing a game were you ride cows and try to run over as many scarecrows as you can. It's so much fun! We played multiple times. As you can tell i didn't do my hair. Lovely.

Linda in her nice bowling stance.

Man, that weekend of playing the Wii made us SO SORE! But it was SO much fun. Makes us want one all the more! But the Wii will have to wait. makes you notice how out of shape you are!
