Randomness
So the other day i looked out the back door and here was this squirrel sitting on the back deck. He is supposedly the "Resident Squirrel". According to mom it just won't go away and it's getting too used to people. I thought it was a great opportunity to get up close and personal. Here's a few other shots from around the house as well. I found a pretty little butterfly in the field and the asparagus sprouting up near the barn was cool. enjoy!

My friend Keira got married to another friend of ours, Cody Miner, on May 9th, 2008 in the Nauvoo Temple. It was a gorgeous day and a beautiful sealing. It was really great to be able to be there. It brought back so many memories from my own wedding...sigh...Well, I'll prob. get more pics from keria soon as well.

Fishing
It's spring in Missouri and quickly turning into Summer. Me and Chandler have been jumping at the oppertunity to go outdoors as a way to spend time together. Chandler, Mom and I all built at little Fish Pond with fountain and waterfall in the breezeway. Chandler did most of the work. I'm so proud of him. We also worked on putting huge rocks around the circle drive. It's all turning out to be quite pretty.
Me and Chandler have also been going fishing alot lately. It's a good chance to get outdoors and be together. Chandler has caught lots of fish. The first time we went we only caught Perch, but the other day Chandler went out by himself and caught 3 bass! a baby one, mommy one and a big daddy one as he put it. The largest was about 17 inches and the next about 12 and the smallest about 8. Chan put them in the fish pond, but we took them out after we started noticing fish disapearing. We found one of the big Koi in the big bass. We're eating him for dinner tonight. We went and got more fish for the pond, took out the bass, perch, and the big rock in the middle. It looks nicer and nicer everyday.
Other new things lately are:
We went ice skating with Keira and her soon to be hubby Cody Miner. It was the last day to go ice skating in Jefferson City before the rink closed for the season. Chan didn't skate, but it was still fun. Keira is getting married May 9th in Nauvoo IL. The reception will be the 10th. Crystal will be here the 9th as well. Lots of fun things coming up. Keira asked me to be her bridesmaid so mom's been busy making a dress as well.
I don't know if i wrote on here that i got a new camera. Well, I got a new camera! It's pretty much awesome! I'd take a picture, but you know, kind of hard to do. i've been going crazy with it of course.
We also got a new computer. Desktop this time though. We got lots of memory and everything for about 750. Which is 200 less than what i paid for my laptop and it had less memory. It's nice, but it wasn't exactly nice to have to get a new one. I dropped my laptop and the crystal's broke in the screen and my cd drive was already not working so we decided to get a new one.
We also got our hospital bill back from when Chandler got stung by a bee. $1,700 total with the 200 we paid when we checked him out of the hospital. We got a $300 reduction fromt the bill sense we decided to pay all of it at once instead of making payments. That helped. It also helped that mom was nice enough to pay for it sense things were a bit tight and we hadn't gotten out tax return yet. Thank you mom. I'm forever in your debt.
So amidst all the good news there's always going to be bad. Our beloved friends Molly and Mo died the other day of fungus. It was a sad day. (Molly and Mo were fish-Beta's) Just as well i suppose. We'll prob get a new one once we're in Idaho.
So that's pretty much what's been going on lately. Hope all is well with everyone. Take Care.

Good News, and Bad:P News
WELL, it's been kind of a different weekend. Saturday, March 6th, 2008 started out as a normal Saturday. Okay, not really. At 6 am the dog decided she wanted to bark her head off, so i got up and opened the garage door, she ran out then ran back in and went back under the porch. She didn't even stay out for more than 2 secs. Odd dog. So then i went back to sleep. Chandler woke up a 30 mins later and went and did bee's with my dad. Then at around 8:30 i get a call from my dad telling me where to find things for the restaurant. Wondering why he's telling me all of that if I'm not working. Come to find out he just wanted me to go over and help open up just in case we get busy. No custard had been made the day before so we were totally out. Leaving Anita the wonderful pleasure of making double the amount of custard. If anyone knows anything about making custard you know that you have to constantly be watching it as it goes into the bucket, and to watch the window and take care of the customers at the same time can be quite a challenge. So i went and saved the day, after taking a shower and looking somewhat presentable. I got there around 9:30 and left around 10:45 AM. Not too bad, it gave me a good reason to get out of bed before noon and gave me a little energy boost.
I got home, did a few things and then Chandler came home from doing bee's with my dad. My mother then asked me and Chandler to help her move some Huge rocks so that she can put them around the small circle drive in front of our house. We did this until the fork lift decided to die. Dad was over playing with bee's and so Chandler went over there to ask my dad where the battery was so he could jump the forklift. As he was coming back he got stung by a Bee on the top of the head. He came over and dumped water over his head. He asked me to get the stinger out. It was hurting his badly. He then went inside. He came back out promptly and asked me to come in and look at him. He was turning red all over and starting to swell and blister. It was a scary, horrible site to see. A bit funny, but very serious at the same time. We tried giving him a baking soda bath, but as he was in there he began to swell even more, even to the point that he was having a hard time breathing. We called his mother to see what to do. She said give him Bynadril. We couldn't find any. So we decided to rush him to the Emergency room. Which was 30 mins away in Sedalia. Chan laid in the back as i began our scary, heart racing journey to the hospital. Needless to say i was speeding the whole way. Except when that annoying truck back up traffic. I hate slow people. Anyhow...Chandler was a bit calmer now which was really nice. Me on the other hand...well...I was prob. more freaked out than before. We finally got to the hospital after what seemed forever. I had never been there really before so i went into the wrong entrance and had him go through the hospital to get to the emergency room while i parked the car and booked it around the hospital to the emergency entrance. I hate that hospital. They seriously need to learn how to put up SIGNS and have more than one entrance and exit to the emergency wing. It was ridiculous. I've never ran so hard and so long as i did that day. I walked in all out of breath and asked if Chandler had gotten there ok. He had just gotten there and was being carted to a room. I waited a min before i could go back. I got to his room and he was being fixed up with all sorts of stuff. Not exactly my idea of fun, but i was glad he was going to be ok. So the swelling went down and he got a bit of rest. Then we finally got to go home. Keep in mind that it was General Conference weekend, so he had missed the Priesthood session already. We decided to go to Wal-mart to get some medicine just in case he had any trouble between then and Monday.
Anyhow....that's basically how our Saturday went. Today is Sunday and we both watched General Conference and were spiritually uplifted.
Okay....the good part of the story....
Friday we got our taxes back. We owe $51 and we're getting back over 1,000.
That's always nice. God defiantly is amazing. Considering we never would have planned to need that much money right this min. And now we know where that return is going to go. Yep, paying the doctor bill:P blah.
Okay, i promised good news. Alright, so the other good news is Saturday we got our title for our Blazer! YA, FINALLY! That's been a crazy mess. We're hoping to go get license plates tomorrow or Tuesday. Sense it took so long we'll have to get an inspection again...ya, lame i know. Anyhow, that's still good news right!:D
Well, that's my little update for you all!
Take care!
Love ya all tons!!

Jane and Audrey were simply adorable and it was fun to be able to be apart of there lives for just a while. I can't wait to see them in May!:D Note all the awesome scenery. I want to go back to visit all the cool places. Hopefully with a better camera and better weather.
