We had a blast in Sedona a few weekends ago with Dug and Breezy! I promise you that these pictures DO NOT do Sedona Justice! You really have to go there and see it for yourself!... and if you do go, let me and Jamie know so we can tag along too!! :)
Stick, Dug, Breezy, Me, and Jamie = BFFs
B-E-A-U-tiful sunset as we were loading the trex up for the day
We just drove up those rocks... ok not really, Jamie just wanted to get a picture to make it look like we did haha
Jamie and Dug being Jamie and Dug...
Muah!
At the end of our day we found the most beautiful area that we wish we could've spent more time at and seen it when there was more daylight!
But just in case you didn't... this is what happens when I go to the desert with Jamie and Nick...
Good thing Nick moved to South Carolina to be in the Navy and he won't be around to blow up any of our other vehicles. Haha jk jk We love Nick! Jamie and Nick had been working on Jamie's parent's old dune buggy in our garage for a couple of months and they were SO excited to get it running. They both even had dreams about it haha! So they finally got it running well enough to take it out to the desert for a test run ( and when I say well enough I mean they were able to make sure it had enough power to drive up our driveway... seriously). So we get out to the desert, unload it off the trailer, drive through a mud puddle, try to make it up a dinky hill = fail, and then we start heading down this wash to go to the river. Luckily, I was standing the back by the engine (we hadn't put the back seat in yet) when I started feeling something really hot and when I turned around I saw flames. So we bailed, ran far away from it, cried cuz there was nothing we could do, realized we had just topped the tank off with 7 gallons of gas, ran a lot further to get out of the wash, and all of a sudden BOOM.
But on the plus side...
-we got to take a walk of shame back to the truck that brought us all closer together helicopters didn't come after seeing the explosion
if I wouldn't have been in the back Jamie and nick wouldn't have felt the flame till it was too late,
the cops that came to see if we were ok didn't give us a ticket
-We didn't have Jamie's whole family with us with little kids riding on it
-AND it was a pretty cool explosion
So finally, three hours later, we had the fried dune buggy towed all the way out of the desert and it is now resting peacefully in our backyard. THE END.
Reasons why this is officially my new favorite song ever:
1. It's country!
2. I love country!
and 3. just because it's amazing!
I wish this song was around when we got married cuz I totally would've made this our wedding song! Lately I've been feeling really discouraged, stressed out, and overwhelmed because of school but Jamie is always there for me reassuring me and making me feel better. This is why Heavenly Father invented boyfriends (aka spouses, honeys, babes, dears and husbands). He knew that when life gets hard and stressful we would need a best friend that we could always count on no matter what!
This is my first time posting and knowing that real people (that I know) might actually be reading this. It's kinda scary, I'm not gonna lie. But I'm really excited right now so that is why I am overcoming this fear lol...
Have you ever wanted something really really bad for a really really long time and once it comes you get really nervous cuz you didn't think this day would ever come?? It's kind of like how I've wanted a Barbie Jeep my whole life.... ok kinda not but I just thought that I would throw that out there in the open haha. Well... that's how I feel about becoming a nurse! I've known that I wanted to be a nurse ever since I was little. I feel like it's always been my goal and now that I'm getting so close to finishing I'm getting really anxious! I just found out that I get to do my preceptorship in Labor and delivery & postpartum at Banner Gateway! I am so excited!! This is going to be an amazing opportunity because it is very. very. difficult to get a job in OB cuz everyone wants to be there! And who wouldn't?? For the most part it's a pretty happy place. So this could be my only chance to be there! Cool huh?! And if all goes right (everyone cross your fingers and squeeze your eyes really tight so that I pass block 4 :) hehe) then I should be graduating May 13th, and taking my nursing boards (everyone repeat that last step so that I pass my NCLEX) soon after that! Then comes applying for jobs... duh duh duh!!! Long story short.... I have a pretty exciting/busy/stressful next few months! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that for my preceptorship I will be working nights...... and I'm not going to be cheesy and I'm not going to say that I'm really not looking forward to sleeping without my husband but...... I am REALLYY not looking forward to sleeping without my husband! :( Last time I did that was when Jamie got in his accident and that was THEE most horrible experience ever! So now I'm really scared to sleep without him. I'm not a baby!! The end... blog novel over...
So I was stalking my own pictures the other day on facebook... (Yes, it was an all time low for me) and I thought to myself, "Hmmm I wonder if people think we're weird?"...
And then I saw this picture and thought, "Oh yeah, we are weird.... he he :) "
As manifested by the picture, it's easy to see that I am the sane one in this relationship.... hahaha! On another interesting note... I bought a TON of produce at Sprout's today and it was super cheap!! I'm pretty sure that I will be adding Sprout's to my weekly shopping route, right after Fry's that is! Wow... since when did I get put in charge of grocery shopping?! Isn't my mom supposed to do the grocery shopping, I'm still a little kid!? Weird!!
I believe in Christ; he is my King!
With all my heart to him I’ll sing;
I’ll raise my voice in praise and joy,
In grand amens my tongue employ.
I believe in Christ; he is God’s Son.
On earth to dwell his soul did come.
He healed the sick; the dead he raised.
Good works were his; his name be praised.
I believe in Christ; oh blessed name!
As Mary’s Son he came to reign
’Mid mortal men, his earthly kin,
To save them from the woes of sin.
I believe in Christ, who marked the path,
Who did gain all his Father hath,
Who said to men: “Come, follow me,
That ye, my friends, with God may be.”
I believe in Christ—my Lord, my God!
My feet he plants on gospel sod.
I’ll worship him with all my might;
He is the source of truth and light.
I believe in Christ; he ransoms me.
From Satan’s grasp he sets me free,
And I shall live with joy and love
In his eternal courts above.
I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!
From him I’ll gain my fondest dream;
And while I strive through grief and pain,
His voice is heard: “Ye shall obtain.” I believe in Christ; so come what may,
With him I’ll stand in that great day
When on this earth he comes again
To rule among the sons of men.
This is how I want Christ to look whenever he is thinking of me!!
