Christmas 2009

Christmas at the Raymer's was good. One catch in the whole thing is NO PICTURES... I got a new camera but really have had no luck with making it work. SO no Christmas pictures to post :(
On a positive note things were great. We has Tasha here with us on Christmas morning. Zach was working and did not make it until WAY late Christmas night, so we got to have a small Christmas morning over again on Saturday morning with Zach. Kelly has been able to do a bit of cow elk hunting and the older kids went sleding. Bug and I stayed home and got a small game night ready to play while the whole family was home. Tasha and Zach will be leaving soon. I will be sad to see them go. I really enjoy the time we get to spend with them (not sure they feel the same at times... after all we are old people). Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas with the best new year to come.

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving this year was the best one yet! The morning started off with having all my girls home. We had a nice breakfast, then everyone got ready for Cedar. There was no arguing with the girls. We all headed to Cedar for dinner with the Raymer's. Dinner was nice and we had a great visit with the family. The older girls and Zach headed home a bit earlier. Tasha and Zach were thinking about heading home in the evening.... but went in the wee early hours of the morning. We loved having them here.... time was short, but I will take any that I can get! Sure love and miss those two. Kamari has sure been great to be around this weekend.... she has her smile back. Love ya Kamari. Last but not last...Sh'Kell she has been a great help with getting the house all ready for Christmas. She helped me get up both trees and they are now decorated. Thanks to Bug we are almost ready to enjoy the Christmas holiday. I am just missing one last thing... SHOPPING for presents for my great family. I sure hope everybody had an AWESOME Thanksgiving!! Thanks girls, Zach and Kelly, love you all!

Holy Cow!!! Today is the 8030th day I have been married to the most awesome man! It seems like yesterday I was sitting in the Hulet’s kitchen watching outside as everyone arrived. I was so excited to spend the rest of my life with this kid. I had no idea the ride would be this awesome. I am not sure he would say the same thing…. But I love him anyways! All I can say is there have only been good times, and that I am one lucky person. Kelly is the easiest person to be with. I truly love the dad that he is! He would do anything for his 3 beautiful daughters… and of course he is thrilled to finally have a son to talk all those boy things. (and don’t forget the grand dogs!) I just wanted to say that I am truly blessed to have found someone to spend eternity with, one that loves me for me, one that treats me right, one that takes care of me and our girls, one that loves to include his family on the camping, fishing, hunting activities. Kelly loves to take me and the girls just about anywhere he likes to go! It is not often that I am sitting home while he is out having fun. He even understands when I need to leave town with my mother for a week on an hour and a half notice and the laundry is piled on the bathroom floor. He just wished me well and said see you in a few day! I just want him to know how much I LOVE HIM and that I am excited for the next 8030 days….

Thanks Kelly for being you and thanks for being patient with me and thanks for 3 awesome beautiful girls! I could not ask for anyone better.
Love ya more!!

Meet Dexter.... Kamari's new boyfriend. Sure hope this one is better!! We love you Kam!

Getting old..... I guess!

Wholly Cow what a day!

So as you can see... I was rather disturbed at my mail yesterday! I know that with all the couponing I have been doing I have saved a ton at the stores and have been able to stock up on some much needed items. BUT WHOLLY COW.. HOW ON EARTH CAN I EVER PAY THIS??? It seems that last year at this billing time we used 7 units of water....this year we used 418 units? UM that is 411 MORE units, one would think that might draw a RED flag to someone at the water department? GUESS NOT! SO I called them to say WHAT THE HECK... and I got well you know a leak can run up your bill..... ONE WOULD WONDER IF A LEAK THAT SIZE..... I might notice something? I have NO WATER damage in the house.. and NO SOGGY SINK HOLES IN THE YARD!!!! SO either someone is smoking something or we will be with out water and power for who know how long... My budget for the power bill is about $150.00........ so looks like maybe for Christmas we will have power and water again??? BUT who knows. My fingers are crossed that the water department will figure out what is up and fix the bill. After all I have never had a bill even close to this in the um... 15+ years.

Clarification

I need to clarify something about my post on families. It seems that some extended family members read my entry and took it as if I was being rude to one of them. I need to state that I was not picking out or on someone I was just simply stating that I had let what someone said to me get to me years ago. I looked at a picture that brought back the memories and realized what I had let slip right through my fingers, and that I did have control and could have handled the pain differently. Like we all say hind sight is 20/20. I apologize to the ones that I offended it was not my intentions. Most people that know me know that I would do about anything for anyone and that I AM A CARING PERSON . Once again I am sorry, it was my intentions to share my feelings not to cause so much hate and discontent.
