Lil sad about no motorcycle hower I really excited to start blogging because life has been busy, frustrating and wonderful.  So I will try to do the best I can to update and add pictures later.

Time Passes Quickly

Finally

I think I am ready to start writing in my blog. I will try to post something starting once a week. I have a whole lot to catch up with and not sure I will get there to it all however I am going to give it the ole' cowgirl try. So until then...

Weird Dream

I rarely dream and when I do its really vivid and strange. This dream was vivid and humerous, so I just had to share.

The dream went like this.... dale had bought a hummer from the military. Dale thought that was a great way to teach my sister Maren how to drive stick. We gathered up mar and her husband and myself and dale to go out to the desert. dale hopped into the hummer with mar and they took off for a lesson. They came back and mar was all excited because she was doing such a good job at it. dale said it was time she could take it down the road a little. mar drove off by herself and all of a sudden we saw the hummer fall off the edge of the cliff... We all ran over to see if she was ok and looked down the cliff and saw her standing there looking at the little pieces of the hummer around her. apparently when she drove off the cliff, the hummer broke into such small pieces. dale was like... you broke my hummer and now you and debbie are in timeout and told us to go stay in the hotel and not to come out for 2 hours. dale and mikey went to their own room with all the pieces of the hummer. i walked into their room and was watching them put the pieces together... it was so funny i woke up laughing.....

Happy Anniversary to the one I love!

On September 11th 2003 I married my friend and love of my life. It has been a marriage with lots of battles and good times. I love my husband more today than I ever did back when I married him. I think that is what marriage and troubles do is it makes you bond closer. Dale is the most kind and caring husband. There is not a week that goes by without him calling me his angel or telling me that he is doing everything he can so that I won't have to work, because I deserve it. Our life is about to change with getting a foster daughter, however we are bonding more because of it and our life will become better.

I know this post is not something that you normally see, however I wanted put this in writing for my records. Happy Anniversary Baby! Love you PUP!

ok..i know...i need to update...

update...on life...

Wow!!! life has a way of passing by and fast. Our family has been going through a lot lately. Mary, my sister in law. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and a lot of thought and prayers has been going in her behalf. She had a mastecomy and is going to be starting chemo soon. I believe that things will be going really well and she will beat this thing. I am amazed how this cancer word sends sharp pains into every soul. Our family has been hit hard in the last few years, but our family is strong and we will make it over this.

As for Dale and I. We are getting ready to do a foster adopt little girl. We have this room ready and it just seems the thing we need to do. Call it inspiration, or craziness it is what we are doing. It will be a challenge and we are trying to figure out the child care thing. That in itself is a hard thing. It will be good and we will grow stronger as a family for sure.

I have so much to blog and am hoping to start updating my blog... my guess I will start this weekend.

hum...

I am loving my new notebook. It allows me to go anywhere in the house and play on the computer. My goal is to get my blog completely updated by next week. ThenI will be updating my cooking blog. I have so many fun recipees to enter with photos!!! Stay tune...

Yippeee... a new notebook computerd

Boy, I have set that goal to update my blog and wouldn't you know my laptop pretty much blows up and so I try another used one and it just was not going to happen. So I purchased a Toshiba nbj205. It was on sale for 349 and orginally it went for over 400. I just happen to have been there at the right time since the sale ended tomorrow. So I will be learning all the ins and outs of this new windows system and see how to download pictures and so forth, then I will be updating like a mad woman....

Yikes!!! I am so behind...

I can't believe it has been so long since I have wrote anything. I have a summer of activities to write about include the finishing about our camping trip. I starting anew and will be adding more each week. My goal is to having 2 new things a week on my blog. We will see how life will go...stay tune for more!

Camping Trip to Jordanelle

Dale, Dan and I decided that we needed to do a mini camping trip. Dale rented a little trailer from the Guard and Dan slept in Dales Cabelas cot ten by the fire. The trailer was tiny however we had so much fun fishing, sitting around the camp fire talking and cooking great food. It was a fun relaxing time. We will have to do this yearly. The following pictures are of the inside of the trailer.

Like I said the trailer was really small... Dale decided that he would take naps in the little bunk above the bed. I tried however and it was just too tight. Don't understand how he slept there.

These are pictures from our campsite...it was beautiful and I was a sneezing fool.

These are of our boy Shadow, he had a great time, a little worried he would find a skunk but he didn't.

Oh My!!!

I cannot believe how long it has been since I have posted anything on my blog. I have so much to tell you and pictures to post. I have this yummy soup recipee that I will be posting also. I just got a new lap top, faster and so I will be working my fingers to the bone this weekend to get everything entered...

Scary Dream

It's so unusual for me to dream and when I have dreams they are so vivid. Well last night I had another dream. Here is the setting....

Dale, Dan, I and another person which I could not identify went to a beach to boogy board or surf. It was an different type of beach, but it was fun. All of a sudden I look back at Dale standing on the beach and he is in full combat gear, including his armor. He was motioning me, with some urgency, to come in. I looked around for Dan and the other person and could not find them. I took a huge wave and came flying in to the beach. I began to run to Dale and he grabbed my hand and started running. I looked out to the beach one more time to check for Dan. I saw an island and a bunch of guys with 50 cals. They started shooting at us as we were running. Bullets were hitting Dales armor but they weren't hurting him... I woke up in a panic, checked to see if Dale was ok and looked at my cell phone and it said 3:30. I went and got a drink of water and tried to fall back to sleep... I was so scared. I am glad it was not real life.

My husband at work
