We've Moved!!!

Ok so we only moved 30 miles west from Powell to Cody but we moved! I'm really liking living in the "big" city, we're that much closer to Walmart. Being close to Walmart is a must. ;) The huge downer of moving is having to get rid of Leo, my tabby. Tear. I really miss him, it's hard having Tanner gone for the whole week and having no one to talk to. I know I sound like a creepy cat-lady talking about missing that little guy, but I really do miss him. He was a comfort to me when Tanner wasn't there. So now I'm all alone.... One of my favorite pictures of Leo.

Other big news: I finally got a flippin job! Woot! And it's literally across the parking lot of our apartment building, like maybe 20 steps. I am now working full-time as a receptionist for a chiropractic office. I started almost a month ago and I'm really liking it so far.

I am just noticing that I haven't blogged for forever, but in my defense I have an extremely boring life. We, Tanner and I, did go to Lake Powell last month with my Uncle Larry and Aunt Marsha. I need to steal some pictures from Facebook so I can post them here. :)

Lake Powell was a blast. We ate, rode the water-wheelers and the tube, swam and swam, and generally got way too much sun! Our houseboat for the week.

Who wouldn't want to take this girl home to Wyoming?

Water-wheelers are so much fun!

LOVE THEM!!!

HOLD ON!!!

Making sandcastles the way my momma used to.



Very tiny picture from Tanner's phone. But it's Tanner and Dustin jumping from a high cliff.

Tanner on the Air Chair, of course he was a natural.

Tanner's wipeout!

All the Borens on the tube!

Showoffs.

Probably the very best/my favorite picture from Lake Powell!!!

After Lake Powell, my little sister, Georgie came and visited. It was so ironic that I haven't been able to find a job until the week she came! But I took her to the library and got her a ton of books and movies. We didn't have internet because we had just moved so poor Georgie had to go without Facebook and Netflix. I then taught her to go on the deck to steal some poor souls internet, so stupid to not have a secured network, but so handy for us!

While Georgie was visiting we thought it would be the perfect time to go to Yellowstone. It was the first time for all of us! We went to Old Faithful first as it was the longest drive, big disappointment. I guess it was cool but there were so many people and it was over before you knew it. We drove around the park hoping to see some animals, all we saw was one elk and two bison, really!?! Georgie commented that we saw more animals in the town of Cody than in Yellowstone, kinda annoying for a place known for its wildlife. After all the driving and a little bit of hiking we stopped for some dinner. Another big disappointment, overpriced and no good food. I was kinda cranky by the time we got home, but am still glad we went. Tanner and I want to go back and drive less and hike more, oh and pack a lunch!

More tiny pictures from Tanner's phone, I don't know why we never think to bring our camera?

Old Faithful......there she blows.



I'm never standing next to Georgie again, she makes me look especially wide.

Oh George!

Not Yellowstone, Big Horn Mountains. Still a cool picture though.

I took Georgie to Billings, Montana to go school shopping and we found some really great stuff! The most epic deal of the day, yes I'm using the overused word "epic" because there is no other word to describe it, was buying two pairs of Gap jeans for $11.00! Yes I said two pairs of jeans! They were on sale, but when we got to the register there was an additional 40% taken off! We also found really great deals at TJ Maxx, Abercrombie and Fitch and American Eagle sweaters for $15.00 each. Normally at those stores you can easily spend $40.00 for a sweater. After a long day full of shopping, Tanner didn't come or he would've hated life, we went for a yummy dinner at Texas Roadhouse, so good! I'm pretty sure I inhaled two rolls in two minutes flat! Georgie had already done some shopping with my other sister Danielle. So I think between the two of us Georgie got a good mix of clothes, Danielle likes trendy, hippy-ish clothes, and I love me some preppy sweaters and skinny jeans!

Georgie stayed with us for 13 days then it was time for her to go home. :( Tanner drove her to Billings, I had to work, and Georgie hopped on a plane all by herself to Vegas. She told me she had to sit by a couple, and the husband ordered five drinks before they got to Vegas, five drinks in two hours! Other than that she made it safe and sound and thankful to be out of Wyoming! Lucky duck, but I miss her dearly, it was fun to have a friend around 24/7.

Well I suppose that's all the happening of my life for the last while. This turned out to be quite a large post! Adios!

Girl Cousin Weekend!

Our lovely hosts.

Last year, such cute girls!

Some of the girls I hope to see!

Last year, the road trippin' babes!!! :)

Since my last post was a tad negative, I'll post an extremely happy and excited post. Girls weekend is coming up!!! I'm driving down to Richfield to my Aunt Marsha's house, to spend time with all the girl cousins and my sisters. I am super excited. What could be more fun than movies, card games, food, riding horses and 4-wheelers, and all my favourite girls? I am not, however, looking forward to the long A drive, but my friend Jessica is coming down with me, with little Karcyn of course! I'm glad for the company, I don't know if I would make it all by myself!
Well that's all, I will for sure post fun pictures of all our adventures! Yay!

Read at your own risk! I'm venting!

I love this picture of my momma and sweet baby Sawyer. My only other wish is to have my mother here with me when the time does come to have my babies, I need her love, wisdom, and support. I do know that she'll be with me in spirit, she did tell me to expect long labors, because she won't want to let my babies go! I love and miss you momma!

Ok, here's my big complaint... I want a baby. Tanner on the other hand wants children, but not for a few years. His logic is undeniable, our insurance won't cover anything, we are really young, and lastly and most importantly we're in Wyoming. I understand his point of view, but I still can't help but want what I want!

I try reasoning with him: One, I'll go all natural, my mom did, so why can't I? Two, I'll breast feed, I strongly believe in it, and it's free. Three, I can do the cloth diapers, way cheaper. Four, people poorer, (I know, not a word), than us have babies all the time. With all this still a no go.

So I resort to whining, bringing up babies every chance I get, and writing down baby names I like and asking for his opinion. Once again a no go, and now a cranky husband. Sigh, I guess I'll have to be patient, but I don't wanna! lol!

Sorry for all the negativity, and revealing all our personal drama. But I need to get this off my chest. Thanks!

P.S. if any of you have ideas on how to change his mind let me know! ;)

New blog, new hair!!!

Hey all I decided to start a blog! I don't know how interesting it will be but I'm putting myself out there. Heck I need to do something with my time, (the job search is really slow). I did however, apply to a bunch of jobs today, so hopefully I'll hear back from at least one.

The most interesting thing that has happened to me in Wyoming is: I had all my hair chopped off! I don't know what I was thinking, but I love it! I have been wanting to do something different with my hair for months now, and decided I would have my cousin Jessica cut it when I would be in St.G next month or two. Well Jessica Mangum recently moved up here to Powell so I couldn't wait any longer and had her cut it. It looks so great and I'm glad I was brave, haha. Tanner on the other hand I'm not so sure, he won't admit it but he didn't want me to cut it. I have yet to see his reaction in person as he is out of town working in Gilette.

P.S. don't you just love the pic of me in my jammies holding Leo? I had to include it as it makes me laugh!
