April 12...

I can't believe it's been a year! And a year it has been! We have been married a year and shared our celebration with several things this year. It was Easter, what a great day to share with our anniversary! Jesus is Alive and so are we! Larry was on a cleanse (I started with him, but gave up on day 4, it was really hard) I am so proud of him for sticking with the cleanse the entire time, you are awesome, mi amore'! So, we will celebrate in other ways (EATING OUT) at another time! Larry's Mom was so awesome in giving us a gift card to the melting pot, which is where I wanted to go for our anniversary....YEAH!!! THANK YOU DEBBIE!!!! Here is the card Larry made for me, it was awesome and brought tears to my eyes. I have to admit, I was a little afraid when I heard him rumbling around in my craft room...you never know what that means...but he was just being creative!


And here are the beautiful flowers to go along with my card!


I will post more pictures of us on our wonderful date to the melting pot...I can't wait!!!!!

Hiking

Here is our self portrait while hiking! We hiked Pinnacle Peak! It was a beautiful Sunday morning and the houses are always fun to look at. There is some amazing architecture in Scottsdale. Just look at that view!

Evolution of the Breast

While working in Arizona last week, my mom and I went to the Botanical gardens. There was a glass show that was really fascinating. Here are a few pictures of some of our favorites...

and then there was this one... I named it "Evolution of the Breast" and it seemed fit as people were walking by saying "and what does that look like, honey?" Why did he choose that peachy color? Why is there a little tip? Why do they start out pointing high in the sky and as they progress they elongate south? Coincidence? I don't think so! But entertaining all the same....

Spring is in the air...

Well, not today...it's actually freezing today! Oklahoma weather is weird, it was 80 yesterday and 31 today! No wonder people keep getting sick! I prefer to just stay indoors on crazy weather days like this! But the trees are starting to bloom and this is a sight to see!!
We have had so much going on, so I won't bore you with all the details, just an overview of our whirlwind of a life! We went back to Discovery!! it was awesome, more empowering knowledge you must experience for yourselves! Highly recommended! I went to Phx for my monthly work week and man was that a crazy busy week! So nice to have those! Larry and I helped Chick-fil-a with an ORU game, we handed out coupons to everyone through the doors and then at the 12 minute time-out we had one and a half minutes to throw 300 sandwiches to the crowd. All the time praying that the sandwich actually stayed in the bag. Success!! It was fun and I learned that Chick-fil-a sandwiches can be thrown like a Frisbee with much success! Don't try this at home! Then there was a Christian concert on Friday! It was first come first serve, so I drove the Cow van (very fun to drive) to the concert and sold sandwiches, chips and drinks to all the crazy people waiting in line. It was a sight to see and a VERY, VERY cold day! Then that weekend I was asked to help with the grand opening a the new Bixby Chick-fil-a, that was an eventful week, but lots of fun! We started with blitzing to all the nearby businesses, handing out free coupons to all the employees. Then the first 100...The first 100 guests through the door on Thursday morning, get free chick-fil-a for a year. By 11:00 am on Wed, we had our 100. There were tents everywhere! It was crazy! Once these people sign in they are not to leave, so we feed them, play games with them, gave out prizes, there was a DJ for the evening with more games and fun and of course random line checks, if you aren't there for your line check, you are disqualified...all 100 made it through the doors! Then it's busy, busy getting the new guests in and out with lots of smiles and free stuff! So much fun! Now we are winding down for a few days, then back to Discovery!!! this weekend and hopefully some normalcy to follow! Maybe even some pictures of some spring!!!

SURPRISE!!!

Happy Birthday to me! Larry had the entire day planned out! I was extremely adamant about NOT sharing my birthday with the Superbowl, and Larry made that happen! (I did give in and we went to a friends house so he could watch the game on a BIG screen TV while I played games with the girls, SNORTA is such a fun game, gotta get it!) But back to MY day! Larry stayed up all night getting the house ready for my day. When I woke up there were balloons and birthday signs everywhere along with beautiful roses and tulips. We went to church and then met some friends at Pei Wei (YUM!) for lunch. All through the day Larry was giving me different gifts. He wanted to get me a manicure and pedicure but being that we are in Oklahoma he forgot that there isn't a whole lot open on Sunday. So, off to the mall we went. I have always wanted to Build a bear, so that is where we went. It was actually very fun and I can't wait to take all of my nieces to build their own bear. I picked out clothes for her, gave her a giggle and named her Payton Jayde. She is cute! Since everyone knows Sundays are for naps and I was getting a little grouchy from being tired, Larry decided to take me home so we could let the dogs out and I could rest up for the rest of my day! This is where he blew it...hehe! He stopped to get gas and thinking that with all the doors and windows closed I couldn't hear him, hehe I heard it all! He called and told his contact that we were getting gas and running into Lowe's real quick, was that enough time... When he got on the car I told him I had heard everything he said. He tried to play it off and had to just change the subject, Larry doesn't know how to lie! But, I was pleasantly surprised that he made it that long without blowing the surprise. So, we finally made it to the house and there were lots of people and food and cake and presents and fun! Shaeli helped me open all of my gifts. It was a fun and exhausting day. Thanks Mi Amore!

Birthday Bash!

It started out as a girl's night in watching a movie and just hanging out....BUT when the chocolate cake and the Happy Birthday song came out, I busted out the Karaoke machine! We sang into the wee hours of the morning. And let me tell you, my freak flag was showing! I haven't Karaoked in a long time and I missed it! We had so much fun! Thanks Noell for a rockin' birthday bash!!!
