Nov. 2010

It has been a while since I posted anything and it's December now. Vick was able to get up here in Oct. when he found out his grandpa-dad was in the hospital. He jumped in the car with all our clothes and the cat. He had put everything in storage in September.

On November 5, 2010 we moved into our own apartment! It is just a one bed one bath apartment but we enjoy it! Since all of our stuff is in storage all we have is a couch/hide-a-bed in the living room, and some dishes that my dad gave to us. My dad also bought us a 32" t.v. for Christmas on black friday. So it's just Vick and I sleeping in the living room watching shows :) It is really fun but we wish we had the rest of our stuff. We are hoping we won't have to wait too long to get it all up here. :)

On November 6, 2010 we added a new little kitty to our family. Bekah's boyfriend Zach's sister had a cat with kittens and needed to get rid of them. So Bek and I drove up to Heber to pick on out! That is where I met Milo! He is about 4 months old now. Here are some pictures of the cute little guy with his big brother Phantom, who by the way has grown into quite a pretty cat. :)

September/October 2010

On Sept. 13th Vick went into a treatment program at the Houston VA hospital to get off pain medication. He has struggled with it for the past year and finally decided to do something about it. It was tough to be here in SLC while he was down in Houston going through that alone. It was for the best though. He sounds so good on the phone and in a better mood. He does struggle with sleep but hopefully it will get better once we are back together. On Oct. 4th he had surgery to get some hernia's fixed. He has been in quite a bit of pain since but each day gets better. I miss him like crazy! He has decided to drive up here at the first of November. He is sick of being away from me and vice versa. We will go down later on in to get the rest of our stuff. :)

This month has been quite a ride and it's only half way done. I finally got a job offer from Zion's and started on Oct. 12th. I am in what is called a Peaktime position. I basically go around to what branch needs me that day. I have days where I am just a teller and days when I sit at the desk and open new accounts or maintenance. My first week went really well.

On Oct. 12th, the same day I started working, my dad took Bob into the vet. He was having problems with anger issues towards dogs, cats, and children. Over the past year he has just grown more and more depressed. He was medicated to calm him down but he was still tough handle. He was under constant watch from everyone in the house due to his aggression towards the cats. If he wasn't in his kennel he was stuck in our room, he couldn't run free like he used to. He even attacked Bree. My dad sat down with the vet for an hour going over all the options when it came to training him. The vet said that with his age and already being medicated there wasn't a whole lot we could do for him. He was put down. It was a sad sad day, but I know that he is running free now. I will miss him forever and can't wait for the day I'll get to see him again. I love you Bob.

Job Hunting

Hi everyone! It's been another month since I last posted. It is difficult when there isn't much going on, or when there is so much going on that I don't get around to updating this blog.

The day after I got back from Utah/Georgia I was laid off from my job. Since then I have been job hunting in Houston and now I am up in Salt Lake looking for a job up here. If I get one I will stay up here and work until I can save enough money to get Vick up here with the rest of our stuff.

I have applied at some banks and other jobs around the Salt Lake area. I hope I get one because I have missed Utah so much and can't wait to get back up here :) Wish me luck!

Utah July 19-26, 2010

My next stop was Utah to visit family and friends. The first day I went around town and visited some friends. Then on Thursday I went on a motorcycle ride with an old friend from St. George to Cedar City the back way through Enterprise. Here are some of the pictures I took :)



















Then I went out to dinner with some Friends. We had a blast and it was good to see them all.



From Friday to Sunday we went up to Duck Creek, Utah and stayed at a cabin. Saturday we went hiking. It was my sister Bekah, step-mom Linda, and step-brother Brady. It was really really fun and we got to see so much beauty. Here is just a sneak peak of Strawberry Point and Cascade Falls.

























So now the weeks have ended and I'm leaving tomorrow to go back to my wonderful husband, who I have missed so much. If you want to see more pics check out my facebook!

Georgia July 13-19, 2010

Hi All! It's been a while since I last Posted but I've been on vacation!!
First I went to Fort Stewart to visit my best friend Megan!











We went down to Savannah a couple days out of the week. We went to the historic district and River Street.






We also went on an alright Ghost Tour. It could have been better if we didn't have a group of 14 year old girls. We did go into a really creepy 110 year old house.




One of the days we hit the beach. I got to swim in the Atlantic Ocean for the first time and had a blast! The water was the perfect temperature and we had a blast fighting the waves. Of course we got caught up in some of them and ended up getting dragged in to the beach.














It was a lot of fun. On the way to the beach we stopped at Fort James Jackson, it was built in 1808 and used during the Civil War. We got to see a live cannon fire from a field artillery cannon.

Ga Bound Soon

So It's less than a week before I go to Ga to visit my bestest friend...of course that's other than Victor! We are going to have so much fun. It has been a year since I saw her and that is just too long. :)

Then after that I'll be heading to St. George for a bit. I'm going to visit some friends and some family! Bek is going to come down from Salt Lake and we are going to go up to Duck Creek with Linda for a few days. It's going to be so fun, hiking, reading, relaxing. :) A well deserved Vacation. I'll update again with pics once I get back!!!

Family

Here are a few pics of the family that we took this past week. It has been over ten years since we took pictures together. They're not professional but they are still great!
