5 Years and Counting...

Today is our 5 year anniversary and I can't believe it! Time has flown and for once, Rob and I are writing this post together :) We thought it would be fun to reflect on the things that we remember from our wedding day.

The first thing that both of us can think of was stress. It was RIDICULOUS how much stress we were under. Our stresses were family, having the wedding at our house, getting everything ready and there is so much more.

The other things we can think of is all the food we had - we had ice cream donated by one of Rob's vendors, cookies and deli trays from Dan's. Cutting cake basically by ourselves, cleaning up by ourselves, opening our gifts with just Christine, getting to Snowbird at like 2:00 in the morning. Rob says how beautiful I looked (gag), the AWFUL flowers from Flowers on Vine. We did the ceremony and the reception in the backyard, it was hard getting the switch-over done. It was miserably hot so there were not very many people there. I wish that we would have gotten better group pictures. The shoes I wore were aerating the aisle as my dad and I were walking.

Sadly, the list is long and not filled with many happy memories. When (and if) we ever make it to the temple we will make up for the not so happy wedding that we had. We have grown so much in the past 5 years. We have been to hell and back. Hopefully we only have bigger and better things to come!

Man oh man I sure suck at this! Again, it's because we have nothing exciting going on in our lives :)


Let see... since I last blogged... I have been to the doc and gotten another clean bill of health for the cancer. Rob has just been working up a storm and I am still looking for a job. I am still making some jewelry but am in a little bit of a slump.

Our computer went in because it was broken. Anytime you changed the angle of the screen it would get crazy lines all over it and you couldn't use it unless you got it at just the right angle. It came back yesterday and we are very excited. They told us 7-9 days for repair including 2 day shipping both ways and surprisingly it really was 7 days. I was very impressed by HP.

It's that time of year again to register the car. Boo. The cost keep going down for the money we have to give the state but it sucks. Can't they just be happy that you have a car and let the registration slide?

We had a really good Easter. Amber's little brother and family came down and we had an easter egg hunt with the kiddos. They seemed to have a lot of fun. I also did baskets for everyone. I love doing that kind of stuff.

I have been doing yard work on our street and it has been fun to get outside and do some work. Yesterday it was raining and today we got a little bit of snow. Again, Boo! I hope it doesn't take too long for the lawn to dry out, I am way too OCD to let it get long.

Dad and I are in a "competition" to lose 10 pounds first. $10 is on the line so I want to win! Okay, not just for the money, more for bragging rights. Amber, Luke and I have been taking walks about once a week but I think I need to step up my game a little. From doing yard work, I think I am just helping the muscles and not burning fat.

For having not much to say, I sure came up with what seems like a lot when I go back and read through it. Rob has been doing some geneology work since he got a prompting while listening to General Conference. (We went to Sunday mornings' session live. It was cool but I fell asleep, go figure) So I think I need to be better about trying to work on our daily history. It might not mean much now but I guess to someone down the road it could mean something.

I go now.

A Better Day

I have finally been taking my medication like I should so my body is feeling much better. Now if I could just get my weird sleeping schedule back on track.

I have been making jewelry and I am really enjoying it. I need to network better because unfortunately I am not selling anything :( I have been starting to make baby cards also because so far the count is up to like 7 friends and family I think that are pregnant and due this year. It's crazy!!

Rob is doing good at his job. He is getting ready (kind of) to ride a 100 mile Salt Lake ride with a friend. I think he is crazy but he enjoys it. He is also riding in the MS150 this year. He is trying hard to get his donations in sooner than last year. He is also starting to play with his RC cars now that the weather is getting nicer.

I know I always say it but I am going to blog better. We don't have much excitement in our lives but since I am still unemployed there isn't any reason why I can't spend my time better. I have been applying for jobs but I have only had 1 interview that I bombed. Here's to hoping for more interviews. Thank goodness the government likes to give out money though because they did another extention on unemployment benefits. Wahoo!

Just another pain day.

I wish that there was a way to describe the pain that I am in. I don't feel like I have done anything out of the ordinary to make my body be so screwy. I have been off my medication schedule a bit and I think that is affecting it a little.I can feel that when my medication schedule is off just a little bit with my depression/bi-polar meds. I know that I can add some dosage in the morning but the cost of the medication makes it scary for me. It's hard for me to determine what is more important, getting the pain under control or saving the hundreds of dollars that would be spent on medication. My pain feels like a 10 big time but I don't know if I could describe the way it feels. It's like a million of needles are penetrating my skin. But it is also like bass from a rock song pulsating through my skin. Today I was hurting a little bit but today is the worst. I could barely stand on my feet after cooking dinner when I had my friends over. Every joint in my body hurts

I am so frustrated. Just a tough day  :(
