Oh what a week....

Like I said in my previous post I was off work all week. I planned on getting SO many things done... what I accomplished was.... well nothing.

1) started painting my craft room... big changes are happening in that room!

2) took my car to my dad so he could fix my side mirror, funny story there...so I'm backing out of our drive way last week and our trash can attacked the car, taking my side mirror with it:(but thank heavens for amazing dads that will fix it for you!

3) watched like 1 million episodes of One Tree Hill.... seriously addicted to that show!

4) went grocery shopping.

5) bought Justin a new iPhone and took it to him at work.

6) went shopping with the little sista.

7) and took tons of naps! It was glorious!

The weekend before that Justin and I were both off for Nevada Day, it was alot of fun to have an extra day off with my hunny. Saturday we went to my dad's car show at Lake Las Vegas, it was so nice! The weather was beautiful and there were a lot of cars, great turn out I thought! While we were there we sat and watched some boat races... little remote control boats that is. It was pretty neat though, they go soooo fast and it's kinda fun when they crash :)

(Watching the boat races)

That night we went to a Halloween party with some friends. We were people from the game "Guess Who". We had a lot of fun! Yummy food, great company, and games!
Here we are in our costumes, pretty much the easiest and most comfortable costumes I have ever worn!

Tipful Thursday

My tip for this week is not a beauty tip, home improvement tip, or cleaning tip. I want to focus on the relationships we all have with our family.

Last night Victoria (the baby sister) and I went to Alexis' (the middle sister) graduation from the public speaking course she has been taking. We got there a few minutes late which resulted in us not sitting near eachother. The instructor had Alexis stand up and introduce her guests and say something nice about us. Alexis said " I love that you are my best friends and you are cute." It made me feel very special and I am sure Victoria did as well. So as it started and I realized it was going to be long and possibly slighty boring I texted Victoria "Why do we have to be such supportive sisters?" she responded "Good question".

After the class was over we went to Bj's for dinner. We talked and laughed and then laughed some more (I thought I was blind. haha) . When I got home I was telling the hubs about our night and how much fun I had. I realized that I am so blessed to have such a strong relationship with my baby sisters. Now I realize most siblings are close but I would bet almost no one has the bond that the three of us have. I know that if I ever need anything I can turn to them and they will do everything in their power to help me, I pray that they feel the same way about me. And that answered my question from above, we are supportive because we love eachother. It wasn't something super important that Alexis did, but it was important to her, which made it important to Victoria and I.

They are more than just my sisters, they are my best frineds, my support system, my favorite childhood memories, my safe place. "As long as I'm living..."

So my tip would be... nurture the relationship you have with your family. Not just your siblings, but your moms, dads, granparents, aunt, uncles, cousins, everyone. These are the people you turn to when your world is upside down or when you just need a good laugh. So call up someone in your family and go hang out together!!!

This week I am loving:

• that I got to see my little sister Alexis graduate from her public speaking class last night. She is turning into such a beautiful grown up woman :)


• that Halloween is almost here, which means Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means CHRISTMAS!!!!


• that Justin went to the doctor yesterday and his knee is doing fantastic and he no longer needs to go to PT (he just has to do his stretches at home), which means no more paying $40 a week! woo hoo!


• that Justin's company picnic is this weekend! It is a huge event, tons of free food and games, and lots of sweet prizes! Wish us luck that we win something amazing :)

And as always I am loving my life and all the amazing people that share it with me.
