Its official. Craig is Fat. I know what your thinking, he mispelled it. But no, I am no longer P-H-A-T, just good old F-A-T. (add izzles and twizzles where you must:0 )
So I have began running again. The problem with that is when you are the chubby of chubbies, you have to carry that weight along with you, THE WHOLE TIME! So if I seem a bit grouchy or tired, I have only one piece of advice, blame it on the blubber.
Cheers!
Craig :)

What we have been up too...
We have been so busy, which is the reason I am not good at posting on my account. We have been going to the driving range in chance we get, planting our garden and watching our plants grow, fixing our fence, painting our house, going to school(5 week course, working full time,and just trying to survive. Here are some pictures.
This is Craig's office, or so we say...there really isn't anything office like in there but it works and it is all about him.
We were so lucky to have Craig's parents come and visit us. We had a lot of fun doing a bunch of stuff. We went on a lot of hikes, bike rides, runs, eating out, and like I mentioned earlier we painted a lot and as a house warming gift they bought us a new fan and light(Which explains the picture of Dan earlier.
Here is my garden
It all started with some little pumpkin plants that grew double their size every day, it was amazing.
These are the pumpkin plants now..
Tomatoes, onions and peppers..
Carrots and strawberries
THE FENCE!!!!
We received a notice from our HOA about our fence. The previous owners of our house didn't really take care of anything so we finally fixed the fence.
Before...
The new fence before the stain....
The final product...

His favorite restaurant is not McDonalds but a place called The Reef in downtown Boise. They have super cool bands that play there and amazing food, it is kind of like and island themed restaurant, anyways we love it

STOMP!!!
So about a month ago Craig called me an told me he had won free tickets to see STOMP in Boise on May 30th. I picked up the tickets but really didn't know what to expect from the show other than lots of music on unordinary things. That is exactly what I got. It was awesome. It was hillarious as well. The whole show I couldn't stop laughing and Craig was the same way. So if any of you have doubts about seeing STOMP don't. It was a lot of fun and great for kids too. There is a great video on Youtube but I don't know how to post it..haha

Andrea Tagged me a While ago and Now I am tagging all of you
What I was doing ten years ago-
I was finishing up the 7th grade. Whoo hoo. Yeah for those awkward years of my life. I was still wearing the huge glasses to go with my Huge hair. If I had a picture I would show you all but it was before digital camera time..haha Living in American Falls, Idaho and loving time spent with my best friends, Megan Timm, Megan Rose, and Josie West. Little did I know I had only one more year there before I would move to Hagerman, which for me was a blessing in disguise.
What I was doing five years ago-
I was finishing up my freshman year at Utah State and planning my summer job in Ohio. I worked at Cedar Point Amusement park. That was a lot of fun and a real eye opener to the world. I came back to Logan after that and kept going to school and I got hired on at Sam's Club. It was one of my funnest jobs I have ever had. The people were awesome. Oh yeah and I was loving being single for the time(now I would never go back..haha)
What I was doing one year ago-
Settling into Idaho and our new apartment. What a challenge that was. I was working for Sam's club again but only part time and our finances were running a little low so I applied at Citi Cards and was hired. Thankfully Craig heard about the job and was persistent until I applied and realized it was right for me. Great Benefits and tuition reimbursement. How could I turn that down..It has been fantastic. Oh and yes one other thing I was being supportive of Craigs 50 miler training,running and biking with him to help prepare him for maybe the worst day of his life.
What I was doing yesterday-
I was able to sleep in because it was Saturday, made french toast for Craig and I. Then we caught up on The Office. Craig went to work and I went shopping, came home and went to work. I was able to get off work for a few hours so I could go to Janna's(Ben's Fiance's) Bridal Shower, and then went back to work.. Was really stressed yesterday so I had a cry fest haha and now I feel a lot better. Yesterday was a rough day.
I enjoy-
Reading, Running, spending time working in my yard, Love time with Craig(because it seems few and far between right now), my nursery kids, and life in general.
Five TV shows I love-
Lost, The Office, any thing on HGTV, and Iron Chef
Five things I hate-
When people ask obvious questions, when I ask obvious questions and Craig points it out, when my hair just doesn't work right, Strangely enough the sound of bells or chimes when it is dark outside(sometimes I am scared of the dark..don't tell), Not being able to spend time with family as much as I would like to.
Five biggest joys in my life-
Friends, family, my husband’s jokes and when he plays the guitar, When I accomplish something I thought impossible(like school and work both full-time at the same time, spiritual experiences or new information about the gospel - and so many other things.
