Our Fiesta Wedding Celebration

Brian & I got married in Las Vegas Nevada at the Little White Wedding Chapel, December 19th 2009. It was a somewhat last minute, so not many people got to see our actually wedding. With this being Brian's first marriage he really wanted something BIG. With this being my 2nd wedding the last thing I wanted was BIG. So what we decided was we would do a fun quick painless, stress less wedding in Vegas and we would have a celebration later on when we had more funds.

The wedding was amazing. I loved it and each day I love it more and more. I will post some pictures in a new post just of that day later...4 Months later we decided to have our CELEBRATION!!! April 3rd 2010. It was a little stressful but it all worked out. I thank everyone so so so much for all of your help and hard work.

Dinner with Patty V

Last Thursday I had a dinner date with my dearest Patty. I got to see Patty's new casa. It is too lovely for words. I love her style, I love her colors and I love her. Patty wanted to cook a tasty dinner for us. At the store we searched and searched for pine nuts. She wanted to put toasted pine nuts on the chicken. We had to have the store clerk help us find pine nuts which should have been a sign not to get pine nuts!

To make a long story short. New house + New oven= an exciting night!!!

Patty puts the pine nuts in the oven on broil and 4 short minutes later, BLACK SMOKE!! The pine nuts are on FIRE! We don't know what to do and both of us being very involved with the City of Tucson Fire Department we called out dear friend Tommy. (Also we had no fire extinguisher, once again new house and not fully equipped.) He told us to take the nuts out of the stove and put them outside. Well if we opened the stove flames came blazing out. So finally after the fire went down some, Patty grab the nuts and took them outside. The house was FULL of BLACK SMOKE. It was BAD.

We headed outside to get away from the smoke. The radio in the house was on and the country song What a beautiful mess I am in.... played. Patty and I couldn't stop laughing. It was a fun night and it was great to laugh as hard as we did.

I did manage to take a photo after some of the smoke cleared!

I'm BACK!!!

my blog is back... i am back...
Oh i have missed you blog!

why does my throat always hurt???

SO SO SO... it has been forever and I want to catch everyone up on the latest happenings but I am la-tired. This will have to do for now. Let me warn you this is really not a very pretty blog.
I have to get my tonsils taken out! Last week was not a nice week for my mouth. Red & swollen tonsils, puss balls on my tonsils, swollen tongue and sores ALL over my mouth. FUN TIMES!!
I had enough and I called my primary care physician, who is no longer my primary care physician because Carondelet no longer takes Atena... not to happy about that, he had been my doctor since i was little and darn insurance company took our lovely little relationship and broke it. Well after explaining ever so nicely to the front desk lady that I understand he is not my doctor anymore but he really should call me! My Dr called and said to go to my ENT- ear nose and throat doctor, Dr. Ray.
Dr Ray takes a look at my throat and says when do you want to get those puppies out. A little confused, I have puppies in my mouth?? well those puppies really need to go because the make my mouth hurt. So I will be getting those darn puppies out of my mouth sometime in August. Dr. Ray says that a tonsillectomy isn't for the faint of heart and I will be out for 2 weeks, YUCKS!!
So wish me luck around that time with my mouth puppy removal!

TURLES!!!!

Welcome home Edgar & Emily!!!!

the kindness of others

I have had a great experience today.

A wonderful man from SWG helped me, in a HUGE way!

His kindness has really touched me.

I started to cry on the phone when I was speaking with him.

I cried because of his kindness and as I type this more tears well up in my eyes and my heart is FULL!

I just was taken back by his understanding and willingness to listen, to care.

I wish my arms could have reached through the phone and hugged the crap out of him.

It is such a great feeling.

I truly hope that if I am ever in a situation to help someone that I take the time to listen and help them.

He has truly touch my heart and had help me out more then he will ever know.

Today the a man from SWG was my guardian angel!!!

Say a little pray for me!!!

I have tried to keep it on the down low but I am needing all well wishes, prays and good vibes my way.
I applied for the Border Patrol. I have completed everything and all I am waiting on is my background check and work history check. I am getting very discouraged. I haven't heard anything... I call and I don't get much information.
I really really want this bad and I am hoping to hear that they want me!!! So keep me in mind and crosses your fingers!!!!!

FOR REALS!!!

Total Body Fitness

Last night I started "Total Body Toning" Boot Camp at Reid Park. I was so lucky that is was an easy class. Even though it was an easy night it was still a little intense for me. But heck this is why I started this whole mess, to get in shape and push myself! I go to class Monday and Wednesday nights.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Bananas are rich in vitamin B6 and they are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. Lack of B6 in a diet can cause weakness, irritability and insomnia. The potassium found in bananas helps to regulate blood pressure and may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Potassium is also essential for helping muscles to contract properly during exercise and reduces cramping up. A medium-sized banana provides 400 mg of potassium -11% of daily value- and contains 110 calories and 4 grams of fiber. Bananas also contain plenty of carbohydrates which are the body's main source of energy. They are also easy to digest.
Because of their great taste, they can also serve as a substitute for sweets and satisfy sugar cravings.
Researche also shows that serotonin and norepinephrine in bananas may naturally help sufferers overcome depression. They are the good mood food.
Convenience and nutritional value of bananas make them a good post-exercise snack. During long exercises your body loses vitamins and minerals and a banana replaces these nutrients as well as giving you the energy you need.

SO... It is hard for me to eat this wonderful fruit but i do! Why is it hard for me to eat them you might ask? Well... the texture makes me wanna vomit. They have to be firm or I just can't do. Brown soft bananas are not welcome at my house. EAT EM---!!!

We did IT!!!

We FINALLY went hiking and it was beautiful!!!!

Planting Bouganvillas

Lets just start this off with a couple of facts...

I am a first time home owner,

I use to live in the sticks (meaning dig as you please),

and

If roots are in the way just wack the crap out of them with a shovel.

With those out of the way lets start with my story...

Saturday looked like a beautiful day to do some home improvements. I called my ever faithful cousin, Mindy. I wanted to paint an ugly table set that I have rotting outside, pretty funky. That is why I needed Mindy, her brain is pretty helpful in the funky way! We got some fancy spray paint and found our way to the plant section of home depot. I have always wanted to plant some bougainvilleas in my front yard to add some color. I purchase two bougainvilleas.

When Brian got home I let him know that we had to plant the bougainvilleas I bought. DOOM... We got one one planet and were just about ready to plant the last one... We thought we needed to clear the hole just a little more.... BOMB... HISSSSSS WE HIT A GAS LINE!!!!

The fire department had to come and southwest gas,they worked into the night fixing our VERY costly mistake. We had to be evacuated from the house. I am going to take the firefighters some cookies per my dads promptings but I am going to add a little Lindsey spice to the thank you... In the basket along with the cookies will be GasX pills with a little note saying thank you for helping me with my gas problem!!!!

and she is off...

My little sister and her family have made there way from Oklahoma to Japan. Oh How I will miss her. It is so funny the other night I was looking through my journal. Yes that is right I have a journal... just one and I am 26 years old. I read a couple of entries to Brian. One I read was about how ANNOYING those darn little sisters can be.
But oh do I love those annoying little leaches. Its a funny thing when the roles reverse. I remember just wishing they would just GO AWAY and LEAVE ME ALONE. Now they are both away, far away. It makes me cry and wish for frequent flier miles.
It like that country song...

You're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These Are Some Good times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this

Well thanks Trace Adkins for coming out with this song NOW. I could have used it 22 years ago!!!

My sister, Grandpa and ME! I am SUPER lucky!
