Arizona, Texas, Idaho

For Thanksgiving Tyler, Jon, Sandi, and I all drove down to Arizona to see the family. We had such a great time seeing cousins, aunt, uncles, and grandparents. Tyler and I have not been down there since we got married. Anyway, We got there Wednesday morning and left Sunday morning. We got back to Oklahoma on Sunday night, and then on Wednesday we left to go down to Dallas. Tyler went up to Idaho to see his family. On Saturday I run in the Rudolph run with the family (5k) I ran my fastest 5k in 20.13. I also won first place! Tyler got back Monday and we drove back to Oklahoma.

San Antonio

Tylers Buck

The dolphins I pet at Sea world!

Me and All the kids!

So last weekend for my birthday I was able to go down to San Antonio with my sister Amy, her husband and boys, and my brothers family. We got down there Thursday night and walked around the river walk. On Friday we went to the Alamo, and walked around. Then on my birthday (Saturday) my sister in law and I went and ran a half marathon (13.1 miles). My time was 1:45min, and my sister in laws time was 1:52min. Might I add that this was her first time running a race. Anyway after our race we met up with the rest of the group at Sea World (I finally got to pet a dolphin) After a full day at Sea World we made the drive back to Dallas.

When I got home on Sunday Tyler had a nice surprise for me... He shot an 8 point buck while I was gone. We made some beef jerkey with some of the meat, and I must say it is pretty good!

A sad day

Yesterday was a very sad day. I woke up got my cereal and went into the living room to watch a little tv, just like every saturday morning. About 10 minute into my HGTV program I got a text from my little sister it read, Puppy ran off and we cant find him. If any of you know my family, puppy is our family dog we have had him for about 11 years. He is a little blind pug with VERY bad asthma. He can barley make it 100 yards on a walk before we have to pick him up and carry him the rest of the way. Anyway, my family looked for him all day yesterday, but the still have not found the poor guy.

Our 2 year Anniversary Trip!!!

So I finally got the pictures back from our cruise!!! We went back in May of this year... We went to Jamaica, Cozumel, and the Grand Caymans. It was probably the best trip ever. Anyway, here are some pictures hope you enjoy.

Its been a while

Tyler getting Nate ready for the hunt!

My last half marathon!!

Not much is going on here in Oklahoma... Tylers business is getting up and going. He has been getting a lot of work around here. I guess thats a plus of living in a small town, word travels fast. As for me I am just getting ready for my half marathon coming up on the 11 of this month. My sister in law talked me into running with her because it is her first. It will be fun!

The house projects are coming along great. It seems to go slower now that there are no major projects to do.

Tyler is very excited about hunting season starting up here in a few days. He has met this guy that is letting him go on his land, so he is happy about that.

This summer we were able to go to some of Sams baseball games. Tyler loved it since he played baseball all growing up. Sam did very good this season as well. Here are some pictures of his baseball games!

finally pictures of our house

I just wanted to show everyone some of the picture of our house. a little before and a little right now. there are still a few things to be done, but Tyler is doing such a good job. i wish i could show you what the house looked like when we signed the papers, but we didnt take pictures. dang. here are a few of the big projects that ty and i have done!


i just had to show everyone the bed that tyler made for me... he is so good at stuff like this.

here is the dining room, it looks a tun better without everything in it.

here is what the kitchen looks like right now. still a few things to do, but it looks a lot better!

here is the living room up to date. there are still a few thing like getting blinds if you didnt notice

this is our living room, we had already textured and painted.

this is what our dining room looked like while the kitchen was being done. i cant believe we lived like this

this is the kitchen, we took the sink out from that side with the big hole and moved it to the other side. yes, i know my husband is amazing!

here is a picture of the hole we knocked down from the living room to the kitchen.

Its been a while

Things did not work out how we planned. We did not get that house, but we did get another one. We are suppose to close on May 2nd. Its coming up, and I cant wait. Tyler can barley wait to fix up his own place.

The only other exciting news is that we had a tornado last week. I slept right through it, thanks to Tyler. Are side of the street was pretty much fine. Just a couple of trees that blew over, and fences. On the other side there were fences in trees, fences impelled roofs, and went threw windows. Chimney s were ripped off of houses, and shingles were all over the roads and in the front yards. The wind was so strong that night. Anyway, it was pretty scary.

Here is a picture of my last marathon.

I think I got it!

So I think that I might have figured out how to do this... we shall see. So its been a while since I lasted posted anything so lets play catch up... Tyler and I decided to move to Oklahoma. I know I have made fun of that place my whole life. I guess it serves me right. I am going to go to nursing school there. We went up there the other week to look around at houses. We found a VA house that Tyler just loved. Its not the nicest looking house, and needs a lot of work. Tyler knows how to do it all so that will save us a bundle of money. We put a bid on it this week, but they came back and said no and told us another, we said no and told them another. now we are just waiting to see what happens... oh the joy of buying a house! I am way excited though. I think the best part is how much land there is. Here are a few pictures!
This is a picture looking out the dining room to the back yard.
This is the front of the house... Yes I know it needs a face lift!
