So, we finalllllly got our tax returns. As many know I have been wanting a new camera for like two years, so we took some of our tax return and bought this beautiful camera. We did a lot of research on consumer reports and this was rated the best in this class......so it better be good. I am very excited to start using it. What better time than in FLORIDA NEXT WEEK!!!!
One thing that has always scared me about our house is the stairs going to the basement. They left these stairs completely open on the sides. I have been nervous that one of my kids, or heaven forbid someone elses kid, would fall over the side of these stairs. I finally expressed my concerns enough (NAGGING!!) that Skip decided he was going to fix them. He framed up walls and hung dry wall. Our stairs are now much safer. Yeah...............
YEAH!!!!!!
Jace even had a valentines party. His friend Max had all the little ones over for a party. We had pizza and exchanged Valentines. It was great. Thanks for everything Kortni, you know how to through a fabulous party!!
Casen had a great Valentines day. Last night he signed
all of his cards to give to his classmates and we also made
a box for his valentines. He said his school party was soooo
much fun!!

*10 years ago
Ten years ago, in June, I graduated from high school (I can not
believe I am that old). I played all summer and then started school
at the University of Utah in the fall.
*5 things on my to-do list
Wow this list is so long I dont know where to begin. First I would say
it is to get organized; my house, life, etc. Second is to go grocery
shopping. Third is to work with Casen on school stuff, letters, sounds,
etc. Fourth is to read to Casen and Jace. Fifth is to try and squeze
some time in with my husband.
*Things I would do if I were suddenly made a bilionaire
I keep waiting for this one to happen. First I would pay off debt,
those student loans haunt me. Second, I would buy a new camera
because I have been wanting to for a long time. I would then set
my family up for life. Here's to dreaming!!
*3 of my bad habits
I definitely know what number one is.......DIET COKE.......and how
much of it I drink. Unfortunately it is my life saver for working nights.
Number two would be never filling my car up when it is out of gas.
Skip is always getting after me that when he gets in my car it is always
empty. Last would be not wearing my wedding ring (I am always running
crazy in the mornings and a lot of times miss that step).
*Jobs I have had
I worked at Artic Circle (hamburger joint) as a cashier. I worked at County
Seat (Bankrupt clothes store). I worked the longest period of time at
Holiday Oil (Gas Station). I worked there through a lot of high school and
some of college. I really liked it. I basically just socialized with all of the
customers. You would be so surprised how many of the same people go to
the same gas station everyday. You really get to know the loyal customers.
I also worked at Discover Card, in collections. Life Guard at Ragging Waters
(after I was married, before kids....Skip thought I was crazy). and then last
as a nurse at Cottonwood Hospital and now at Hamot Medical Center.
*Things people don't know about me
When I was growing up I spent winters in Utah, with my mom and summers
in Hawaii, with my dad. I have gone to school forever (2 degrees from the
U of U). People always gave me a hard time that I didnt really know what
I wanted to be when I grew up. Even after graduating with my second degree
people would ask what I was going to do next. I think I just really enjoy going
to school....learning. Another big thing that most people, but not everyone
knows, is that Skip and I were high school sweet hearts. We started dating in
the middle of my sophmore year and have been madly in love since that time.
We got married June 2, 2001.
Wow.........Does everyone know me a little better now.
I will tag Jenn and Michelle
I tried to post the news segment directly on my blog but have had difficulty doing this. The following is the link to view this segment. After clicking on the link you need to select the segment entitled 1, 2, and You.
WSEE :: Erie, PA
A local news channel did a little piece on the 1, 2, and You program. This is the gym class that Jace is in at the YMCA. They got a few good shots of Jace (black and yellow warm up outfit). My favorite is him being tossed on the sheet. A few of Jace's friends are also in the class which makes it a lot of fun.
The boys and I will be going to Florida, to see Jenn, the begining of march. We decided we needed a warm get away during our Erie Freeze Over. We are so excited.
