To 5 years & many more!!!

We just had our 5 year anniversary and life has been great!!! I love you Bub!

Flowers everywhere!

A bakery 1/2 block away has their property sprayed with with wild flowers every year. It is sooooo pretty. Hailey and I went there today to take some pics and the field was full of photographers. I love taking pictures of my cute Hailey. She is getting so big!!!





Anyway, Hailey was being her fun loving self as you can see. I took about 100 pictures just like this, Hailey being crazy and fun.




It was tons of fun but we came home with over 20 mosquito bites. Totally worth it though. I think!

No weekends/holidays- Is this a joke?

Today was the first day of my new job with the IHC Hospice team. Wow have I got a lot to learn. I think it will be a great experience and I get to work with awesome people. Guess what the best part is? No weekends or holidays!!! That will be a huge change for me. I have worked weekend and holidays since I was 15 years old working at the Watergardens Movie Theater. I am really excited to have weekends off with my little family and get to go to church with them every week. Anyway, wish me luck!

Just for fun!

My brother Bruce is great at photography. He has won awards for his photography and is ready to take on clients. This last weekend we went down to visit the family and Bruce wanted to practice some shots before he takes on clients. It was way fun getting to be his model and get dressed up in my wedding dress again. To bad we couldn't shoot for to long, because I was having a hard time breathing in that dress.

Here Kitty,kitty,kitty!

We had some people move into a duplex next to us for 4 days. The day they were moving the lady came over and asked if I had seen her cat. I told her that I would let her know if I saw her cat before they moved. Night came and the neighbors were gone. The next night we had a huge storm and this cat showed up at our door. It had a blue collar like our neighbor said, but guess what? No name or number. What good is a collar on a cat with out a name or number on it. Seriously, it's not like you can hook up a leash to the cats collar and take it for a walk or anything. Anyway we had a moment of weakness and thought the cat was scared so we gave it milk and tuna fish. Three days later the cat showed back up. The cat obviously was an indoor cat and would probably die without food. So we just gave it milk this time and the cat left again. Well guess who was at our door today? The blue collared nameless, homeless, ownerless cat. Dang freaking cat go away! Now I wish I would have gotten that lady's name & number. I tried to call a humane society but Cache Valley does not have one. So if anyone has any advise for me on what the heck we should do about this cat who has adopted itself to us, ( besides shoot it), let me know! Hey Mather's you like cats right? :)

Double Wammy-no patient, no job!

One of my favorite people to hang out with, passed away last Sunday! My patient "JD" has put up a long good fight for the last 15 years. I am so glad that I got to work with him and get to know him and become a part of his family. It has been a difficult thing for a lot of people. Bub, Hailey, and I went to JD's viewing. I can't remember if I have been to a viewing ever before but I got really nervous. The last time I saw JD he was doing great, and then I received a phone call from one of my fellow nurses telling me that JD was now at LRH on life support until all family could say their goodbyes. I was in Utah county when I received the call so I did not have a chance to go and see him until his viewing. He looked great, and at peace! I was able to talk at his funeral services and all I can say is, "JD you are loved by many and have inspired us all. Love ya bud! It will be an amazing day when we all get to see you again and you will be able to talk, and walk, and play football again."

So now, I am on the such for a job! I know nurses are in demand everywhere but it seems like Logan is overflowing with them. I hate job searching!!! So for now, I am making dinner every night and getting to spend a lot of time with Hailey, that is a plus!
