Cherry Red Ford F150

So Kirt and I got our anniversary getaway. It was a blast. I hadn't realized just how much stress I was under when DH asked, after shopping all morning. Is there any thing else you need?

YEAH!!! 5 more days in a tropical paradise? PLEASE!! I figured we could just drive to the airport pick a WARM, GREEN, COLORFUL place to go and not come back. Sounds easy enough to me!?!!

Instead, we drove to the Ford shopping mall. Oh, PLEASE how dare we go without our youngest 12 year old!!! The boy who actually knows all the blue book prices AND could have probably helped us better than the salesman. Ford F150 are his ultimate favorite and if he knew that his mom actually got in behind the steering wheel of a HOT, cherry, red Ford F150, I think he would have actually passed out on the ground, with excitement. Kirt was talking on the phone in the parking lot to his sister, I jumped in honked the horn, he ignored me and I was off. I took my test drive. Kirt didn't even have a clue I had left.

The Cherry Red Ford was okay to but I will look forward to test driving my silveryblue mustang one day. (I couldn't find the right color on the net so this one will have to do.) That car I think I'll just drive right off the lot. I think I'll just keep that one.

We just had such a fun getaway!!!!!!

Pay It Forward

So, here's how it works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or be lazy and copy and past like I did haha!!). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival or your gift!

I REALLY LIKE FEBRUARY!!!

I have always liked the month of February, but every year it gets better and better!!

My top ten reasons why I have enjoyed the last few days in February......

1. NO shots in the stomach this year!!! Yeah, my knee is finally on it's way to healing!!

2. Went to a chiropractor last night and he really did help my pain, in my back and neck. It was so nice to be mostly pain free today. And I hope it will only get better!!

3. I think the chiropractor helped DH as well, I just had to laugh because DH felt MY pain all day. He really thinks the dr. cracked me up, YEAH....he did , you would have to meet this dr.

It's kind of a long, funny story, one to be told in person. : )

4. Made DH favorite cake and favorite meal for his birthday. He loved it. We also have some beautiful spring bulb flowers to celebrate with.

5. Started a new blog with my sister. It is a new RS recipe blog check it out it should be a ton of fun especially those who moved from here might really enjoy recipes from home. http://www.sistersinaprons.blogspot.com/.

6. Still loving my new exercise program........many have asked what it is all about, I'll tell you more about it as I progress.

7. ITS OUR ANNIVERSARY on Sat. We are going to the temple then to the temple open house with the ward and family. How much fun is that? I can't wait.

8. Then we are slipping away another weekend to be alone. We are holding true to our tradition. We always pick a different temple every year to go to. Temples we have been to in the last few years...Las Vegas, St. George, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Deigo, Logan, most of the Salt Lake Valley Temples, Most of the Idaho Temples, Nauvoo Temple.

In 2 years................. ( our 25 anniversary).....Hawaii Temple on a cruise. Can't wait!!!!!

9. Love Valentines day!!! The students were so cute today, I just love this school day!!

10. I don't know what it is It must be LOVE in the air.....February is always a breath of fresh air for me. I just love it!!!

Giving it my all for 6 weeks.

Wish you could do this?? Yeah, me too...and I am....sort of. Okay, I swim every other day at ta..da...5:30 in the AM and bike in the afternoon everyother day that the pool isn't open.
My mom found a new excercise program that I am going to try and......so far I LOVE IT. It takes 20 min a day and......when I am done I found that I really do feel better. So I am going to try this for 6 weeks, minus the pain killers and the steroids that I am about over, cause they make me gain....So 6 weeks and if nothing happens to changes to my body then, then , .....I DON'T KNOW what I will do next. I have already done 1 week and the changes that I have felt are this just in 1 week....

1-TONS more energy
2-blood sugar is acting different( I'm not as dizzy, okay I am always dizzy in the head, but this is a different kind of dizzy, ya know what I'm sayin")

My Missionary Boy

I looks to me like the game is over, and he is safe and sound!! Below pic. his first comp. in the MTC they look just like a pair of missionaries and he looks happy!! Isn't the gospel wonderful.
