Lots to Say

So I have alot to blog about today.. Hope its not too boring for those of you that might read it.. So lately I have been starting to coupon.. I enjoy it and Lyle laughs at me alot of the time, because I will be so excited and have to tell him about this awesome deal that I found and he just giggles at me..  I know I know I am becoming one of those crazy coupon ladies that you hate being behind at walmart.. But I am saving money and that is a major plus in my book.. :)  I get all caught up in googling better ways to coupon, and it keeps me busy reading these pointers from other couponers.  :) 

AND I have been wanting to start back with making quilts.. I need to get me a sewing machine first, but I used to make quilts on and off and I enjoyed it.. What inspired this is My mom has made a couple quilts for my brothers kids and they are very cute and it made me want to start them again.. I have been saving old worn-out jeans to make a Levi quilt but I just haven't done anything yet.. :)

This last weekend Lyle and I went over to his aunts house in Payson and enjoyed some time with his family, we had a BBQ and watched a couple movies.  It was just nice to spend time with family.  We stayed the night at her house and just enjoyed our time with them.  His aunt and I talked about ways to plan for the WEDDING, and told me to stop stressing and just start putting my ideas in a book and do that for a couple months, cause I do have a year to plan :)   Then on  Saturday we went for a hike up Provo canyon and we both enjoyed that alot.  I complain alot when we hike, cause I like to hike on trails where I don't have to climb over and through trees, bushes, and so forth.. but I did enjoy it alot.  We had a good time, we ran into 3 deer and watched them for a while.  Lyle still gets all excited when he sees deer and they don't run away when they see us.  :) 

OUR TRIP cant get here fast enough.  We have 18 days until we leave for Florida and Let me tell you The time is passing SO STINKING SLOW!!  We are trying to work overtime so that this last check before we leave will have some extra money on it for spending.. I honestly feel like we live at our work, we have been working some much overtime, I'm not sure what we are going to do when we have our 3 weeks off work.. :)  We talk alot about what we wanna do and places we wanna see while driving.. We cant even wait..

I hope I didn't get you too bored from all this silly stuff I shared. Thanks for reading my blog!!

Colorado Trip

Lyle and I made a trip our to my parents over this last weekend.  We went out to visit and to see our puppy. Just so you guys know Dixie is getting so stinking big.  Mom told me she is house trained 100% :)  She running and plays with my moms little puppy.  It was a great visit with my Parents.  They actually were in Utah buying a trailer when I called them Thursday to tell them that we wanted to come out and visit. So they headed home Friday so we traveled together.  It was a nice trip out we went in the middle of the day Friday and we didn't rush so it was kinda a nice drive.  We went out all day Saturday and took my parents and little brother bowling.. That was way fun, My parents used to bowl on a team, so it was nice to bowl with them.  My dad taught me how to bowl by using the arrows and not looking at the bowling pins.  I did pretty good after that. :)  We went shopping all day with my parents to buy stuff to put in the trailer they bought.  Then we got home and my dad and Lyle cooked steaks, they tasted so good. We didn't end up leaving my parents house until after 9:00 pm so it put us home at about 12:30-1:00 so we drove all night.  :) We really enjoyed the visit this weekend.  Our next trip will be to Florida and I cant wait.. Lyle and I are both very excited and think about the Florida trip a lot.  We are working 2-3 extra shifts a week to get money saved up for the trip and boy is that a lot but we are used to it because we have been doing it for like 3 months.  :)  We can fight through the extra shifts because we think about the fun times we will be having in Florida and then the fun times in Utah with his brother.  :)
