Long Term Goals
I am going to take credit for this one. I started watching it one night and got addicted......fast. So now it's become one of the regulars. There is nothing classier than bibs, missing teeth, guns, boats, and subtitles. This show is pretty awesome though and I don't like to miss it.
This is a back up. We don't watch it religiously but do enjoy it when we watch it. I think one of my favorite episodes was when the guy tried to sell a shrunken head.....seriously people, where do you come up with some of this crap?
THIS IS MY FAVORITE. I had gone to my moms for the weekend and got back early on a Sunday and Dan had recorded and was watching a few Sons of Anarchy episodes. That was all it took. I was headed to Hastings to start renting previous seasons. We got all caught up and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show. Biggest problem, I bartend on Tuesday nights so I have to wait all the way until Wednesday to get my weekly fix.....Thank God for DVR!
I started watching Grey's Anatomy when I lived with Jessie. I really liked the show then, and got severely addicted. Now it is slowly sliding into an o.k. category. I still like it, but it isn't a big deal if i miss it.
This was not a fun post. So I'm going to lighten it up a bit and tell you about my newest project. PAINTING!!
And I hate it. I love the color I picked out, the best way to describe it is a 1950's appliance green. Trust me it really does look good. But if you've ever painted paneling you feel my pain.
EVERY SINGLE STINKIN' LITTLE GROOVE.
However my dining room has transformed quite nicely, but I hope Dan loves the color "Country Club", because his wife is never painting that room again. And it's going to take lots of motivation to paint the rest of the rooms in the house.
My Mom: My Closest & Dearest Friend
Sadie: The friend that I miss the most, 
Amanda, Me, Ashley, & Sara
Brock: the brother, and from the looks of this picture my least cool friend ; )
Me, Sarah, Jessie, Ashley, Madison, Madison, Susan
While we were there, we drove up to Denver. Dan wanted to visit the Coors Brewery. Pretty sure someone told him there was free beer. The brewery was neat, but I didn't even like Coors Light fresh. No thanks, Dan I promise to not steal your beer. I really wanted to hit the Denver Aquarium, so we did. I ABSOLUTELY loved it. There were all kinds of fish and you could even feed stingrays when you got through it.
But the best part of the whole trip was Manitou Springs. We both enjoyed it so much. We spent so much time just strolling through the little shops and checking everything out. Dan even wanted to go back and shop again! By far the best trip we have taken and I can't wait to go back!
Meet my beautiful little sister, Madison. She is growing up to be one of the most amazing young women I have ever met. She is not afraid to do her own thing, always stands up for herself, and is super caring just like my mom. She is also an animal nut, and has way too many cats in my opinion! Madison and I are ten years apart, and have always been close as sisters, but the older she gets the closer we are getting as friends. Having a sister is the best friendship in the world. I wouldn't trade our relationship for anything. I love you, Madison!
Day 4......My parents (see why I did these two together?!?!)
I am blessed to have the 3 sets of the best parents in the entire universe. All of them special in their own way, but equally amazing!
My In-laws
Meet the best stepdad ever. Gary is an amazing man and I'm not sure what we did before him. I once had someone tell me that being a step-parent is the hardest job in the world. I definetely don't doubt this, but Gary should write a book about it because he rocks. He has always treated Brock and I like his own, he never calls us his stepkids, just his son and daughter. Gary first won us over shortly after he and Mom got engaged. He built us a lemonade stand and let us paint it however we wanted.....it was extremely ugly! He also ranked pretty highly when we were remodeling our home. Bribery works wonders people, and Gary bought us more Gas N Shop slushies and pizza than any person should ever have to buy in their lifetime. Gary is so quiet and level-headed. He's a fantastic husband to my mother. I hope he understands how important he is to Brock and I both. Love ya Gary! Thanks for doing an amazing job, you've had a huge impact on the people Brock and I have become. Thanks so much!
Meet my Dad! This is where I get my height, my big feet, my curly hair, my big nose, my temper, and my laugh! My dad is amazing! There is no other man in the world like him! This is who I go to for the hard truth. Even when I don't want to hear it, I know my Dad will always shoot me straight. This poor man has been on the receiving end of too many bawling phone calls, lots of times for wrecked cars, sometimes for stress, and sometimes just because. He claims I cry when the wind changes directions....he might be right! This is the man who taught me to shoot a gun, cook everything with cream of mushroom soup, never give up on things, crack a joke, ride a bike, and a million other things. This is also the man who built me a picnic table when I was little, tried really hard to braid my hair for picture day, swore I would never learn to drive, bought me a pony, and lots of other things. Dad made our childhood a lot of fun and we experienced lots of things because of him! Thanks for being one in a million, Dad! You've always been there for us and you'll never know how much we appreciate you!
Mom
Meet my Mom! This is my best friend. I truly treasure our friendship. She made our childhoods unforgettable. She made Easter dresses, Halloween costumes, and every Christmas amazing. This is who taught me how to make anything with a hot glue gun. My mom has the biggest heart and is always doing for other people. This is who taught me how important family is. She made a beautiful home for us, and always made everyone feel welcome there. When I was in college and came home, Mom would get up on Sunday mornings and make breakfast for me and my hungover friends. This is the woman who made pancakes in the shape of our age, every year. This is the mom who makes everything fun. We've laughed so hard together so many times. This is the woman who taught me to be confident and to laugh at myself. She made sure we knew our potential and always pushed us to exceed it. She is one of the hardest working people I have ever met. She has had jobs that I wouldn't even consider. She's the mom who plans a trip for us girls every year at Christmas time and makes it so much fun. She has taught me so much and has had the biggest influence on the person I have become. I hope someday, my kids love and respect me half as much as I respect her. Mom, you are amazing! Thanks so much for giving me the best family, thanks for all the great memories, for teaching us how to love, for the best little brother and sister, and for always being there.
You're an amazing woman and an even more amazing mother! I love you!
So I saw this on a friend’s blog and thought it was a wonderful idea. For the next 30 days I am going to blog (hopefully)! So here goes with the first one…..
