Time out for Women

Time out for Women

We headed down to Las Vegas for TOFW. It was a blast we stayed at Treasure Island, ate at Cheesecake Factory, Marsala's, and asked a Stinken Cool Lady on a Purple scooter to let us cut in front of her to get to our Hotel faster. She said yes by the way... We stayed up almost all night and showed up on Saturday only 20 minutes late.. That's Pretty Good! I almost ran into the back of a Brown UPS Truck. I fell almost 5 times, but its all good. I was in great company with these ladies. We all had a blast and we loved the way we felt. We left with the best feelings and the spirit reconfirmed to us that we were doing the best things we could for ourselves and our family's in these tough days.. Love you Girls!
Thanks for letting me be apart of an awesome weekend.
p.s. Did I mention I tried to ride a Bull? Oops must have forgotten that part..

Therapeutic? Is it Really?

***Keep in mind this is the first time I have ever shared my deep thoughts in the blogworld.

Have you ever wondered how much someone really cares about you? Well, today I got a little reminder when I went to get into my car today for work. My question is really, do we even realize how much others think about us, love us, or maybe even hate us. I know in my own life I often wonder if the people that I am around even know how much I think about them. Do we always say what we are thinking? Do we say what we want to say? Do we get scared to say how we feel… Did we think someone looked so darn cute that day and didn’t even tell them. Do you ever wonder if that could have changed there day? Ya know what I mean? Now I am just thinking how much of an affect it could have on all of us. Have you ever said something to someone and then later thought “oh my heck” I hope she didn’t take that the wrong way. Man I know I have done this stuff way to many times. I’m just sayin. And Each time I do this I beat myself up over it.

Okay so I guess those of you who do read my blog you might be wondering what the heck I’m doing. I have decided to start writing some of the random stuff that goes through my head.

I’ve been told its Therapeutic? Really is it??

Til Later

Sunday Quote

"Tomorrow's joy or tomorrow's despair has its roots in decisions we make today. Perhaps some people think to themselves: 'I know I need to change some things in my life. Maybe later, but not now.' Those who stand at the threshold of life always waiting for the right time to change are like the man who stands at the bank of a river waiting for the water to pass so he can cross on dry land. Today is the day of decision."

--Joseph B. Wirthlin

After I read a quote on my good friends fridge last night,( I would have used it, but I can only rembember the first part of it.) Everyone has trials and tribulations. Misery is your Choice. I couldn't remember the end of it. So I was reading a bunch more on the internet. I have been thinking alot about the way I have been in the past and how I have been such a fence sitter and just not really here or there. I'm not talking about my testimony, just life in general. My goal is to really get out and be more open and aggressive and not so worried about everything. I wanna make more decisions. Okay not really, but I hope whoever is reading this knows what I am talking about. Happy Sunday

4 More Days

Okay I'm having my own little party right now. There is only 4 more days til Summer is here for our little family. I can't wait. Its been great working at the school, but now I can't wait to sleep in and have my little boy Parker make me breakfast and McKayla clean-up after him. You have to agree that this sounds so great. Okay I'm just kidding about the kids. I won't take advantage of them. I am very excited to be able to have a break though. Yippee.... Hurray!!!!

Sunday Song

Well I have decided to post a song I am thinking about on Sundays. Today I am thinking about this song. I hope you enjoy it!!! Click on the link for the sheet music and turn your volume up.

Come Come Ye Saints!

Can I say Heaven!!!

Today I was treated to a full body massage. This was my first massage ever! I was so excited to get one. I have posted before that I have always wanted one. Well it was everything I had hoped for. Isn't it funny how we think things might be and after we go through it we realize its not that bad. I should have gotten a Massage a long time ago. The girl who did it was so great. She made me feel so comfortable. Her Name is Tiffany, She works at Red Mountain Spa. She has been doing this for a long time and she knows what she is doing.

Well okay you might be asking yourself how I got treated?? Let me explain! My sooo cool sister in law Jaclyn asked me to watch her little boys over night this coming week. I agreed of course. They are so cute. They also love me!! Well Tiffany is Jaclyn's sister in law. So she mentioned treating me to a massage in exchange for watching the boys. I was like "well alright then" of course there is no need to twist my arm on something like that.
I have been wanting one for so long. Well now I know where to send my husband to get me a gift certificate for all special occasions.. Yippee!!

Sugar Scrub!!

Tonight Andrea and I had wonderfully relaxing pedicures. (I owe you for this one!!) It had been several months since I had my last pedicure so I was ready. It was great and it was relaxing. I am hoping to get back in there and have my first massage. I am so anxious to get one, but I can't wait... I posted this picture because I wonder how long my toes will stay like this. I am gonna count the days.
There is something great about a pedicure that is so relaxing. If you haven't had a pedicure before I encourage you to get one. It is worth!! Its not just about getting your toenails painted. You get a wonderful foot and ankle massage. I love having my
feet massaged. My favorite part is the Sugar scrub. I wanna hear if you have or haven't had one before? Leave me a note!

Well I just want to thank you for the fun night Andrea, It was great! I'm glad we were able to go and get away from the kiddies and have some quiet time!

My First Post in my New Family Blog!!

I finally got my rear in gear. I have wanted to do a blog for quite some time now. This last week I got going on Facebook and I got talking to Lindsay(Casey's sis) and she showed me the way. I am still trying to figure out a few things. I will have to figure that out tomorrow. I am so exicted. I should be finishing up on my sharing time for tomorrow, but I couldn't wait to post on here. I am so excited. It took me a couple hours just to decide on a skin for my blog. Crazy I know. I have been messsing with it for a few hours. The boys all went to the Roadrunners baseball game tonight and Mckayla was gone babysitting for Aunt Jaclyn. So I have just been sittng here burning the night away. Shhh!!! Thanks again Lindsay for getting me moving.
