I'm just a slacker...

Ok I'm really not.  I have just had so much going on lately.  With work, traveling, my church calling, speaking in church, working on the house, and of course still trying to get prego...I'm feeling a little overwhelmed.  So yes I'm a slacker when it comes to the blog but really there's nothing exciting going on in my life.  Oh except I'm on some new medication this month that includes 5 days of taking estrogen and I feel like I'm going through menopause.  I'm talking some serious hot flashes.  Oh yeah, they are just great.  Mom... now I understand your pain!!!

While I'm Gone

Some of you know that I'm visiting my sister right now in Seattle and I just so happened to start my you know what while I was here. My sister seems to think that no matter what Aunt Flo is always visiting me while I'm visiting my sister. Well, she might be pretty close on that note, but for some reason it got me to thinking, I've been visited by Aunt Flo every month for the past 8 YEARS! Say we spend $10.00 on a box of tampons or pads(I know that's a ridiculous number but try and get what I'm saying). Meaning over the past 8 years I have spend roughly $1,000.00 on these darn things we throw away (I realize I would never want to keep these things and i will never understand the people who feel ok with using the reusable hemp things...yuck)! What a rip off. Talk about a waist of money. Amen!!!

Oh the joys of gardening

My veggies are just growing so well. I'm so proud. I can't wait to eat them!

Bayles

This cute guy is one of my nephews. I just love him so much and am so sad I don't get to see him very often. Today we were able to spend some time with the Kowallis family and Bayles was just so cute. He chased Raven around and gave her hugs. Oh it was so presious. Bayles... know that I love you so much!

Top 3 Burger Joints in Utah County...

#1 - 5 Guys Burgers and Fries!

Delicious burgers with all the fixings! The people are so nice there, it's clean and oh so good! And to top it all off... their Dr. Pepper is so perfect!

#2 - Stumpy Burger (center street in Provo)

You would never think a burger with just onions and pickles would be good but oh my gosh... this burger is delicious. They have this horseradish, cayenne pepper, and mayo sauce that is so yummy! The customer service was wonderful. All in all just a great burger, great people, and great service!

#3 - Sammy's (provo)

These burgers are all great. My favorite is the Cowabunga Burger with Sweet Potato fries. It's made fresh to order and the service is fast and friendly. To top it all off, try one of their great pie shakes. So good!!

Yucky Tummy

Today was just one of those days that your tummy just does not agree with you at all. I felt sick this morning, and thought that if I ate something mild it would help. No. I had an apple and that didn't work, so I drank some Sprite, still no luck. Then I had some soup, not any better. So I have just decided that maybe there wasn't anything to make it better. My stomach just didn't want to agree with me. It's funny; stomach aches. When you start to get one your first thought is 'what did I eat that upset it? Did I try anything new that maybe set it off? what can I eat to make me feel better (like eating something is somehow going to make it all peachy again)?' In my case I can't think of a single reason why I have one. There was not a thing I ate previously that would have made me not feel good, but here I am sitting here with a tummy ache.

Amazing... I must have...

The cd's are amazing! Happy music!
