JUNE!!

Alrighty...where to begin!?!?!

First off.. .I started school.. and I'm loving every second of it! It has always been my dream and my hobby to do hair, and everything else involved.  I am now in my 4th week - and can't wait for week 5 when I get to hit the floor have a ball!!

As for Sky. He is still workin on the oil rigs. he is currently in Wyoming, but has been in Texas

for a few weeks. I prefer him in Wyoming because its a whole lot closer and easier for me to take a short trip to see him every once in a while.. and besides - I love the drive to wyoming. Its so pretty! and so relaxing to enjoy the scenery...!

So while he is gone I have just been home.. cleaning.. studying.. going boating... and hangin out with the fam and friends! I stay with my sister every once in a while so I'm not so lonely all the time, and thats been a good thing to stay busy.. Being lonely is hard most of the time, but I just keep reminding myself that every time he's gone, it makes the days that he's home a thousand times better and it means a whole lot more to the both of us.

I am looking forward to the 4th of  July. Its one of my favorite holidays to celebrate! I love spending time with family and being outside all day and enjoying the delicious food that is at the Menan Celebration. The only downer is that Skylar won't be able to celebrate it with us because of work.. Also. We're about to celebrate our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! and I am thrilled that it is just around the corner.!!! ahh.. this time last year the anxiety was gettin to me!! I still remember the things that we were planning and last minute things we were putting together!! It has been the best year of my life!! Can't wait to hit the big #1!

Road Trip!!! - (But not for me)

OK.. So.. Skylar is leaving for the Oil Rigs. He will be in Wyoming for 2 weeks for training, then be home for a week. Then... he will be headed to Texas for the real deal. It will be 2 weeks at work, 1 week at home type of deal!! I think I'm going to go crazy!!! This is going to be very hard. I look up to you army wives that put up with it more than two weeks, and on top of that without seeing them for much longer. You guys are great, and I hope I can be as strong as you guys.! I will just have to keep myself busy while he's gone, and try to make time go by fast. So if you have any ideas for making time fly, or ideas for keeping busy... I'm open to suggestions!!! :)
As for me, I'm still working full time. I start school in June! And I cannot wait! (also, I'm hoping it will keep my preoccupied so I'm not thinking about Skylar coming home) I'm so excited to start my career and begin fulfilling my dream! Thats about all the updates for now! Hopefully I'll have something more exciting next time I post!

Zumba...

Ok.. so last night I was invited to Zumba. I had no idea what it was, and I thought it was like a worshiping sort of thing. Come to find out, it is a workout. It is kind of like aerobics, you dance, and get a great workout at the same time! And even tho it was an hour, it seemed like we were only there for 20 minutes! Time flies when your having fun! and that is exactly what it was... It was way way fun! We did all sorts of moves!

And yes, I looked pretty funny doing it, but you just don't care, because chances are, everyone else thinks they look funny as well. The instructor just kept telling us that "no on is watching you, so get into it!" oh that was soooo hard to believe!!! :) But I had a blast. And thanks Jaycie, for talking me into going.! I think that all of you should join us! Every Monday and Thursday night from 8-9pm in Rigby. Just down from where Over the Top Gymnastics used to be in the Dance Unlimited Studio!!!! Your first time going is free... then after that you pay $25 and you get a punch card that allow you to go 10 times. To me, that is super cheap!! And, totally worth my money!! So come and join us next week!!! Ü

... HeRe CoMeS tHe BrIdE ...

So over the weekend, Skylar and I made another trip to Boise to attend a wedding for a very good family friend. We left on Friday afternoon and made our lllooonnnggg.. and I mean long... trip west. Just after Twin Falls it started snowing... and then it started blizzarding!! It was crazy!

And it slowed traffic down to the extreme. But when we dropped into Boise, it was gone, and it was only rain! It was much better.

After the long awaited arrival of getting to our destination, we checked in to our hotel and headed to meet up with his uncle in Eagle. We then made our way back to downtown Boise to the Qwest Arena for a basketball game between the Idaho Stampede and the Los Angeles D-Fenders. They are just a step below the NBA.. and they aren't too bad. In fact... One of the players from the Idaho Stampede is now playing for the Utah Jazz and is doing an outstanding job! So that was something new and exciting for us to do!

Then, on Saturday- we pretty much wasted the day away until the wedding. We did have an easter egg hunt with his cousins and that was about it. Then came the wedding. It was at the WoodRiver Cellars in Eagle. And it was a beautiful location to have a wedding. The bride was and absolute princess, and the bridesmaids and flower girls looked fabulous, and lets not forget the groom and the groomsmen- they looked stunning as well. It was a little bit different of a wedding than from what I'm used to, but it was good culture for all of us, and we enjoyed every second of it..
I'm pretty sure we were the only ones not drinking any of the 6 cases of wine and 2 kegs of beer that they had for the reception/dinner part of the wedding. It was interesting and fun at the same time to watch the different types of people that attended this wedding. It was absolutely gorgeous and everybody was happy. I'm glad we were able to attend the ceremony. You could definately feel the love the bride and groom had for each other. Then we came home on Sunday, and the drive home was much better then on the way there. It was a great Easter Weekend, and we enjoyed listening to Conference while we were gone
We love going on mini vacations, but we also enjoy coming home.

and...another!!

Sorry this picture is kind of blurry. But this is sooo adorable.. My mom and I just made some

for the grandparents. The clothes pins are what you put the name and day of the month for each person in the family then clip them on the ribbon for the month they belong on. It is super cute!!

Some crafts...

Ok... here is a couple of pictures of the crafts I have done Lately..

there will be more pictures to come..

These two are pretty much the same.. other than the colors. one is brown and cream and the other one is red and black. I can do almost any colors you'd like, or any saying you'd like. Also, I can put it on any material, whether it be wood, glass, etc.

This one is on my wall. It is in 8x10 frames hung on a curtain rod. Its pretty big, but I love it.

I have a few more pictures I need to put up, I will work on them. Let me know if I can do anything for you.!
