This week I am loving:

• that the hub's surgery is over! Now we are just working on the recovery :)


• that my birthday is tomorrow! Yay for being 24!


• that my trip to the DMV yesterday only lasted 30 minutes!


• that I get a 3 day weekend! Woo hoo Labor Day!


• and as always I am loving this amazing life I am blessed with and all the incredible people I enjoy it with!
  

Little catching up....

What an eventful last few days this has been...

• Friday- I got some shopping done, came home and made dinner, then my Mom and Papa came over for a little visit and tech help. It is so nice to visit with them :) Our friends Brittney and Dustin came over as well. We just sat around, ate some pizza, and went on a late night frozen yogurt run! I really adore having friends that we don't have to do something eleborate to have fun! (It's save money so we can have a tiny human time!!!)



• Saturday- I got up bright and early to go teach my jazzercise class. Went on a quick run to Target to return a card (short story on that.... Our niece Kennedy started school on Monday, so I bought her a little Winnie the Pooh pencil box and matching pencils along with a "Yay for Kindergarten" card. Well what I didn't know is that K is SOOOOO smart she skipped Kindergarten and went straight into 1st grade, so I had to get a "Yay for 1st grade" card instead!!! We are so proud of her!) Then I did some cleaning and took a nap.
  

We decided we would go out for my birthday dinner on Saturday instead of this week to Justin's knee surgery. So when my alarm went off to get up from my nap I DID NOT want to get up!!! But Justin was being really wierd and MADE me get up, so I did.... started getting ready, taking my sweet time :) Then Justin gets all wierd again and starts rushing me, I'm thinking "It's not like we are going to be late to dinner with OURSELVES!!" Well little did I know my entire amazing family along with some super great friends were waiting to suprise me at Toto's (delish little mexican place in Boulder City) It was such a wonderful surprise! I feel very blessed to have such amazing people in my life, and what an incredible hubby I have! I know you are all jealous :)

Then we went to play Bingo with Britt and Dusty.... and Justin won!!! Woo hoo! I think it was my birthday luck!!

• Sunday- Because it was the last day Justin would be able to go out we went to breakfast then did some shopping. It was so nice to just spend time with eachother!!




• Monday- The big surgery day!!! We had to get up early to be at the surgery center by 9am then we waited FOREVER (or until 11:30) for them to take Jam back into surgery. I waited for about 90 minutes before the doctor came out (such a nice guy!!) he said everything went GREAT and I would be able to take him home soon! About 45 minutes later we were on our way home :)

• Tuesday- I started my morning at the wonderful DMV (nothing like waiting until the last minute to renew your drivers license) I was in and out and home within 1 hour! Woo hoo! Hung out with my incredible hubby for a little while then headed to Hobby Lobby for a new birdhouse for my collection, then a quick stop at the grocery store. I did some quick decorating and redid my jazzercise set.
  


• Today- I am back at work missing my husband terribly and counting down the minutes until I get to go home to him :)



• Tomorrow- Is my actual birthday. Still can't believe I am 24! Yikes!!!

Tipful Thursday... on Friday... again.

I wish I had a good excuse as to why I am posting on Friday, but to be honest I was slow at work and wanted to watch Ally McBeal (I'm on episode 79 of 111, I'm almost finished!) I apologize for not putting you all first.

I have one word for you... Norwex. I went to a party my SIL hosted a couple months ago, and honestly I was only going out of support for Carissa. I mean come on "special" microfiber cloths that make cleaning soooo much easier?!?!?! Nah I 'll stick to my "normal" and "cheap" cleaning cloths.... or so I thought!

These things are seriously AMAZING!! You never have to use cleaning products again! Just water.... yep you read that right, water! I clean my entire house (minus the floors) with these cloths and a spray bottle of water! I know what you are thinking.... NO WAY Meagan you are full of it! I'm not I promise, I was once just like you. Doubting the power of the Norwex. Just trust in me, find a party, and go!!!

I am loving:

• that my birthday is almost here! Just 8 more days :)


• that my amazing friend Brittney is willing to go to Costco with me on Friday so I can get the great deals without having to pay for my own membership! Yay for awesome friends :)


• that I have been eating so healthy this week! I feel great and hopefully this will help me shed those pounds!


• that I get a 4 day weekend! Not too excited for the reason, but still extra days off :)


• the song "Amen" by Eden's Edge! Super cute song!


• that I found a big wooden window shutter on the side of the road... not sure what I am going to do with it yet but still excited! Just imagine me in a skirt and 5 inch heels trying to load this super heavy shutter into the trunk of my car.... needless to say I got A LOT of funny looks!


• and last but most definitely not least I am loving this amazing life Heavenly Father has blessed me with. I have a good job, a beautiful home, clothes to wear, and food to eat. Two crazy and loving little pups. Little sisters that I am so proud of and love so much, you should all be jealous that they are not your sisters. A beautiful mother that is like my best friend. A Papa Bear that stepped up and loved us all like we were her own. An amazing husband to love and support me. Life is just so great :)

Tipful Thursday

This weeks tip is Lemi Shine. Let me tell you, living in the desert with this TERRIBLE hard water does awful things to my dishes. I was embarrassed to let people see my dishes. They had this terrible cloudy look to them, I could promise until I was blue in the face that my dishes were clean but they NEVER looked like it! Then I found Lemi Shine. I buy mine at Target in the dish soap aisle, I think it is about $5 for the bottle which usually lasts me about 2 -3 months. Just follow the instructions on the bottle and TA-DA you will have B-E-A-UTIFUL crystal clear dishes :)

Backyard progress...

There are still a few small things we would like to do to finish up our B-E-A-UTIFUL backyard, but here it is in all it's glory! I can't wait for the weather to cool down so we can sit outside and enjoy all our hard work:)
I would like to thank our families for all of their help with this project. I unfortunately didn't take any "before" pictures, but just imagine the EXACT opposite of what it is now. Without the help of our families we NEVER would have been able to get this done. Love you all!
