The post I have written a hundred times...

I have thought about this post for months.

I have written it over, and over again...

but it just never seemed right.

Then, last night it hit me.

The "perfection" I have been searching for doesn't exist...

and it never will.

I did a lot of soul searching during my year long hiatus, and have learned to be happy with my imperfections.

So, instead of trying to explain my absence, we are just going to celebrate my return to the world of blogging.

 Happy Sappy Saturday to you all!

I hope to be making regular appearances here again soon. 

Happy Sappy Saturday...on Sunday!

I was looking through my photos today, and found this.

This is N8dogg and I six years ago on Thanksgiving.

Wow...

Look how young we were. :o)

A lot has happened in the last six years, and I am thankful for it all!

Happy Sappy Saturday...on Sunday, and Happy Thanksgiving! 

Happy Sappy Saturday!

For the past 8 months N8dogg and I have had an uneven number of nephews and nieces.

That was until yesterday...

Welcome to the family Wee Baby Olivia!

We LOVE you!

Happy Sappy Saturday! 

Happy Sappy Saturday...on Sunday!

N8dogg and I on Google Latitude.
Don't mind the dude in between us...that's just my brother-in-law, Buffalo. :o) 

Yesterday, N8dogg stopped in and saw me on his way to Grantsville. 

He was passing through town at 2:00 AM, and just stopped long enough to have a shower and say Hi.

He was back on the road by 3:00 AM, and even though I was sad to see him go I was so happy to have seen him...even if it was for only 20 minutes. :o) 

I love you N8dogg!

Hello, and Happy Sappy Saturday!

I just wanted to stop in real quick, and say CONGRATULATIONS to 

Mr. and Mrs. 

Jake and Tracy 

Verhavens...

Okay, just kidding...

It's just Havens. :o) 

Congrats you two! 

We love YAK!

OH, and six years ago today I was still on my first date with N8dogg.

Two years after that...

And now here we are 4 years later. :o) 

Happy Anniversary N8dogg! 

I love you! 

Happy Sappy Saturday!

Hello, and Happy Sappy Saturday on Sunday!

I spent all day Saturday here...

At the Fall Fuel Fest. 

It was pretty fun...not the most amazing event ever, but the company definitely made up for that.

Thank you to N8dogg for taking me, and a big thank you to Buffalo and Shaylie Ann for letting us tag along.

It was worth waking up (after only 3 1/2 hours of sleep) for. :o) 

Happy Sunday!

*Quick Update*

Some of the Nitro Circus peeps are staying at the Ramada tonight, and this is what I learned at 4:00 AM:

Nitro Circus Rules to Live By:

Rule #1: Always buy good tires

Rule #2: Don't be a Biotch!

Rule #3: Don't make too many rules

There are also scattered rules:

Rule #18: Always have a swim suit with you

Rule #24: Don't ever date a girl who wears combat boots

Rule #51: 18 to 51 ONLY!
(The reason behind this one is not appropriate for the blog)

:o)

So, there you have it!

Have a Happy Sunday!

Happy Sappy Saturday!

Congratulations are in order! 

Yesterday, N8dogg graduated from Southwest Applied Technology College as a Professional Truck Driver!

Yay!

I am so proud of him, and can't wait to start this new phase of our life. :o) 

Congratulations N8dogg! 

I love you!

Hello, and Happy Sappy Saturday! 

Have you ever been to Yogurtland? 

It's pretty amazing. 

My friend Becky and I went there the other night, and I was pretty impressed. 

It was so good! 

I loved it so much that even kept the spoon...

Which is biodegradable. 

Seriously, how awesome is that! :o) 

Happy Sappy Saturday!

Hello, and Happy Sappy Saturday! 

Quick Question? 

Is it WAY to early to be decorating for Halloween? 

...No...

Well, in that case here are 3 things that make me super happy right now. 

1) Subway Art

2) Distressed Picture Canvases

3) Decorating for HALLOWEEN!

Yay!

I LOVE this time of year...even if I am a little early. :o)

Hello, and Happy Sappy Saturday! 

Sorry I flaked out yesterday. :(

I promise I will wrap my Holiday in the Sun posts next week, and then (hopefully) resume a normal blogging schedule. :o) 

Anyway, today I went to my friend's wedding. 

It was seriously the best day! 

I am so incredibly happy for them, and can't wait for them to start their life together.

Congratulations Josh and Mandy! 

 We Love You! 

Happy Sappy Saturday!

Hello, and Happy Sappy Saturday! 

I am finally back from my Holiday In The Sun, and can I just say it was Fantastic! 

I had the best time, and can't wait to tell you all about it...

But until then it's business as usually around here...

Which also makes me Happy. :o) 

Happy Sappy Saturday!

4th Annual Beach Trip! 

Enough Said...

Happy Sappy Saturday! 

Happy Sappy Saturday!

Yesterday, N8dogg and I went on a Road Trip through the Desert. 

It was a short, but very worthwhile trip that once again reconfirmed my LOVE of the Desert that we live in. :o) 

Happy Sappy Saturday! 

Happy Sappy Saturday!

Cute, huh! 

Want to know what made them even cuter? 

The $4.49 price tag!

Crazy, I know!

So, I bought 3 pairs...

:o) 

Happy Sappy Saturday! 

Happy Sappy Saturday!

Yep...That's a whole lot of Taffy...

But more on that later...

:o)

Happy Sappy Saturday! 

Happy Sappy Saturday!

Whew! 

I just made it in time for Happy Sappy Saturday! 

Yay!

So, I have been working on a ton of projects lately, and I am so excited to start sharing them with you all next week! 

Yay! 

Here is one that makes me particularly happy. :o) 

Happy Sappy Saturday!

Hello, and Happy Saturday!

I hope you are all enjoying your Memorial Day Weekend! 

Memorial Day is an especially hard Holiday for me, but it is also a very important Holiday that needs to be observed. 

So, whether you are packing for picnics or preparing flowers and flags, have a great Memorial Day; and remember to not only honor those you have lost, but to LOVE those you still have. 

Happy Sappy Saturday!

Happy Sappy Saturday!

So, guess what I found on Netflix last night...

Cruel Intentions!

Yay!

Ok, so let me explain. Cruel Intentions was one of my favorite movies when I was a teenager, along with  She's All That, Drive Me Crazy (also on Netflix), and 10 Things I Hate About You. (1999 was a good year!) 

I love, and own all of these movies! (Yes, that is my copy above). However, I have not watched them in a very long time, and I have to say watching Cruel Intentions last night was a real eye opener to how innocent and naive I was as a teenager.

There was a lot more "lovin" going on than I remember, and now that I actually understand what they are talking about it's a lot dirtier than I remember too. It's actually classified as a "Dark Movie" on Netflix, and after watching it last night I completely understand why. 

Anyway, like I said, I just LOVE this movie. Now, don't get me wrong the acting is awful, the plot is cheesy, and I had a hard time finding Ryan Phillippe sexy because he was so. freaking. young. but I still LOVED it! 

I loved how it made me feel like I was a teenager again. I felt young and twitterpated, and loved every minute of it! Which, I am pretty sure that feeling is the only reason I ever get the urge to watch any of these movies; because let's face it, they are all pretty much crap. :o) 

Happy Sappy Saturday! 

Happy Sappy Saturday...on Sunday!

Hello, and Happy Mother's Day!

We just got back from an amazing weekend with family. 

We played and partied all weekend long. 

It was awesome!

However, we are pretty exhausted. 

N8dogg is passed out on the couch as we speak, and I think I am right behind him. :o) 

I took my camera everywhere this weekend, and never took ONE PHOTO!

*Sigh*

The only picture I took all weekend was with my phone.

N8dogg and I ate at Cluff's, and I had to snap a quick picture of my lunch for Happy Sappy Saturday! 

Seriously, this place is the best!

If you are ever in Fillmore it's a must. :o) 

Anyway, I have a ton of fun stuff to show you this week.

Yay!

So, we will talk soon. :o) 

Happy Sunday! 

Happy Sappy Saturday!

Guess what? 

I found a new fabric store! 

Yay!

But more on that next week....

Happy Sappy Saturday!
