Life

2012-02-07T10:16:00.000-08:00

Its no surprise the last 10 months of our life have been combined with blessed events(khloe, moving closer to family) and multiple HORRIFIC(pipe break, hail dented car) events. Well last night I got a phone call from steve saying he had been in an accident! another HORRIFIC event in life, we are blessed he was not hurt but that was most definitly NOT the case for our corrolla.

We have decided to TRY and live with only one car for awhile, my guess is that we will have to have another car within a month. That corrolla has REALLY taken a beating this last year. We keep saying we will be fine if NOTHING else happens to us, and yet one thing after another continues to come. SOOO im not saying that any more now ill say

"When the next HORRIFIC event happens, we Will get through it"

~Khloe and her Buddy~

2012-01-28T12:58:00.000-08:00

The day Khloe came home from the hospital, Buddy has looked over her every morning and night! Its so much fun to watch their relationship grow!

I hope to have some pictures of our new home next week, but we still have a bit of work to finish!!

Thanksgiving!

2011-12-15T09:53:00.000-08:00

Well these are a bit late but to cute not to share!

She makes this face alllll the time I LOVE it!

We had such a fun time in Colorado for Thanksgiving, Christmas was going to be in Idaho this year but stoves work requires him to be around...We will miss being in Idaho with his family but maybe next year they can come see us for christmas?!

2011-08-13T14:28:00.000-07:00

Our little girl turned one month old last monday....she has grown like a little weed! When she was born she was only 30% in weight(i guess when the doctor said i was a hostile environment, he was right...) but Khloe is up to 50%!!! I was kinda sad the doctor didn't measure her length because she is sooo long! We knew she would be long, its not like steve and I are short!

Since she was getting older Steve and I wanted to have some pictures taken of our family and of Khloe. Well we did take pictures and we LOVE THEM! Unfortunately we haven't ordered any yet, but i did take a couple on her 1 month birthday! So more pictures will come of our family but for know enjoy my sweet little girl!

buddy climbed up "on set" and wanted his picture taken to! When we go for her baby blessing in a couple weeks my brother in law is taking family pictures with buddy, poor thing was left out of our other pictures:-(

As for Steve he is working his life away! On Monday he will have 4 days off!!! those 12 to 16 hour days are getting old! But the light is at the end of the tunnel because in the winter the store will die down and he won't be putting in as long of days! Khloe and I miss him ALOT!!!

Me, Im just taking care of Buddy and Khloe. She sleeps 8-9 hours at night without waking up! I feel refreshed on most days,not today, and have started to run/walk to get my baby weight off...it will be an up-hill battle for many months I have a feeling! But as of yesterday morning i fit back into my pre pregnancy jean(they are tight but i got them done up!!)

khloe is here!!!

2011-07-24T11:21:00.001-07:00

Khloe Cobbley is finally here! She was born on July 11,2011 at 6lbs 12oz and 21 inches long! We expected that she would be AT LEAST 8 pounds and so before we left the hospital Steve had to go buy clothing for her tiny body!

This is Steve and I right before we went into have Khloe! Steve and my mom were able to be in the room with me! It was such a crazy experience!

this was my first time holding her.... i tried to tell the nurse that I couldn't see her and she just left so we took a fast picture and THEN i was able to see her little face! Nothing has ever been rewarding than seeing your little baby for the first time!!!
Steve and I don't take many pictures and this is the only family picture we have of us in the hospital... and they gave Khloe such an ugly hat to wear...it only lasted while the nurses were in the room!

I LOVE this picture...it is us in recovery so she is only about an hour old and so amazingly small!

There you have it! Khloe Cobbley in all her perfectness! she is going to be 2 weeks old tomorrow, i want to stop time and hold her forever!

23 days to go...

2011-06-24T09:54:00.000-07:00

i have had a couple doctor appointments since i was put on "bed rest"...my doctor was out of town the week i was put on bed rest and i saw him again and he said "there is no need for you to be on bed rest" LIFE SAVER! i HATED it! really I didn't do a very good job of staying down unless shopping and going to lunch is part of bed rest! plus the way the other doctor made it sound we would be having our baby very soon, my doctor is like "nope you still have plenty of time" so I am AALLLL ready bottles washed formula bought and bags packed:-) Khloe just needs to stay in till sunday and then technically i am full term at 37 weeks:-)

Other than Khloe life for steve is crazy...he works a billion hours a day and a trillion hours a week! he is such an amazing guy even if that means me sitting around waiting for him to get home:-) I miss working, i miss rock springs, i miss everything about our life in Rock Spring but luckily my family is amazing at coming up to cheyenne and im down in Fort Collins once a weeks for doctor appointments.

Steves parents were able to stop for 3 nights on their way to mount rushmore and we had a blast having them! we went to the Denver zoo(i forgot my camera:-() and had a super fun bbq at our house with steve's friends from high school my family and his! once again do you think i have photos...no..hopefully i get better at taking pictures of other things besides Buddy...

really we live a pretty boring life in a boring town. I know its all about to change in just a couple weeks:-)

in need of good news!

2011-06-10T18:33:00.000-07:00

well lets just say the past two weeks have been HORRIBLE! everything that could go wrong has.... like a pipe breaking at our rental property and because of insurance and the city not taking responsibility we are looking at a HHHHUUUUUGGGGEEEEE bill...like one big enough to buy a car... just love being a home owner right now..i feel soo bad for our renter but luckily she is the only thing that hasn't gone wrong, she is wonderful! she is going to have to put up with the sidewalk and street being torn up and then replacing the pipe and the sidewalk and street being pored again, and on top of this she cant do laundry or dishes and has to limit flushing the toilet... seriously she is the only thing going right....

NEXT i have been put on bed rest....uck! my poor little girls heart rate keeps raising, and i am climbing on the preclamsia chart( high blood pressure, protein in urine swelling and the only way to stop it from getting worse is to deliver her early, if it gets to bad i could die) now im not expecting to die because im still on the low end but she seems to be the one who is declining. this week i have a BUNCH of testing to have done and then on Thursday we go in for an ultra sound to see if her lungs have developed enough just in case we need to deliver early, i will be 35 weeks if we deliver next week...

so any ways this week has sucked.....

BUDDY!

2011-05-27T16:51:00.000-07:00

if you know me at all you know that my dog is the best dog:-) he recently turned two, this year we kinda forgot about it(probably a good thing) but he has been doing some really cute things and we have some in pictures! enjoy my cute baby boy!

Buddy will sit on the top of the couch and put his head on your head when he has ran to much for the day!
forget about having your window up even if its -10 outside, buddy demands he gets to put his head out the window no matter what! i know he looks sad in this picture but we were leaving the dog park and he is always soooo sad when we leave...
cant find him? he is probably nestled in some random place sleeping and wont come out until you find him, he was "lost" for about an hour behind a mattress resting against the wall!

2011-05-13T19:40:00.001-07:00

I CANT BELIEVE IN TWO MONTHS FROM TODAY I WILL BE HOLDING MY LITTLE GIRL!!!! i feel like i have soo much left to get ready for her to come home...but really all the check list(yes i do use them) online say i have more than enough for her to come home. ever since we have moved to Cheyenne i have wanted her here with me more than anything! its hard to bring her home here and not to Rock Springs. i had paint colors and chair railings bird cages with candles hanging from the ceiling all ready to be ordered and then we found out we were moving and now i dont even get to paint her room...its hard knowing im not going to have a perfect room and perfect house to bring her home and not to mention all the great friends i have in rock springs to help me figure motherhood out BUT i have to remember how blessed i am to be having this little girl that it doesnt matter were i bring her home to as long as she is healthy and happy i should be happy!!
I was looking back on the highlights of this pregnancy and i know you probably dont care but i have to have them so i dont forget and maybe will make me want to do pregnancy again!

1. the trip to fort collins for fun and asking my mom for a sleeping pill and she asked me if i was pregnant and i said "come on mom, i cant be prego im never pregnant plus i took a test yesterday and it was negative" well i took the sleeping pill and it made me sooooo sick!! my mom came home with pregnancy test the next day and guess what?! I was pregnant!!
2. having a shirt made for buddy that said "Big brother in training" and going to pocatello and having buddy wear the shirt and sit on grandmas lap and she didn't get it! we had to say " do you get it" then she broke out in tears! and then made us a fabulous breakfast to celebrate! she later said she thought in her head...yeah right they must be wishing! haha i love my in laws! i will bet you 1000 dollars mine are better than yours!
3. finding a doctor in Ogden Utah who finally got me excited about a doctor and telling us we were having a little girl! he was so amazing...i miss him..haha but my new doctor is just as fabulous!
4. waiting and anticipating for what she will look like. only two more months and i just cant wait!!!

Almost 29 weeks!!

2011-04-27T15:38:00.001-07:00

Finally I look preggers all the time! This is on a "bigger" day and feel like a whale by the time dinner time rolls around! And steve finally got sick of me crying every morning that none of my pants fit sooo he dragged me to the store to buy maternity pants(I think they are the ugliest things on earth) he pretty much forced me to buy them....now I can't say nothing fit...

khloe's heart:-)

2011-04-24T15:36:00.000-07:00

week 23 of my pregnancy i went in for my target ultrasound(measuring baby to see if everything was growing and functioning properly). well about a week after i went in we received a devastating phone call saying the ultrasound found a heart arrhythmia(irregular heart beat). this was super scary for my family because we have lost babies due to heart problems. so we scheduled another ultrasound in Ogden Utah and they didn't take our insurance so we waited until this last week to get in with a specialist in Denver. we were so blessed to find out that she had out grown her heart problem and she had even grown grown to a staggering 2.9 pounds! at week 23 she weighted 1.1 pound so hearing almost 3 pounds is a slap in the face...yes i know she will get bigger and that scares me even more! Steve and i hope that she will stay in for the remaning 11 weeks and we cant wait to meet her!

Snuggles

2011-04-22T11:13:00.000-07:00

Buddy has taken this move pretty well considering everything that has gone on! Every morning when we sit down on the couch he cuddles up and naps for about an hour:) I'm so excited to have khloe and buddy to snuggle with! Less than 3 months left(85 days but who's counting?!)

Moving

2011-04-19T08:36:00.000-07:00

Well we are officially moved out of rock springs....almost 2 years to the day we moved in.... Honestly I'm really missing it, ok back up not missing the town but the amazing friends we made while we were there! We had so much help hauling trash to the dump and loading the truck(9 o'clock on a Saturday and about 10 people showed up!) The truck was loaded in about an hour and off we went to cheyenne were my amazing family help unload our truck! Surprisingly nothing was broke! Our BIGGEST problem we have is that we went from 1600sq feet to about 1300 and a 2 car garage down to just one.... We have NO room! Our 4th bedroom is going to be our storage unit:) oh well we are just so lucky to have moved again and have everything fall into place!

To be frugal or not?

2011-04-05T12:56:00.001-07:00

Since we are moving I have quit both my jobs so I was able to pack the house, find a new doctor, find a place to live and get ready for khloe to join our family!
while I was working we ate out when we wanted, bought new clothes, steve new 55 inch LED tv and wall mount u get the idea it was nice! But with out my income I have tryed to cut corners by cooking again not shopping as much and so on. This has been hard when it comes to khloe, I LOVE carters clothing but 20 dollars per shirt or outfit is kinda a lot for something khloe is going to grow out of in 5(if I'm lucky) months.
So as I was walking in the baby isle in walmart they had a clearance rack with baby clothing for only 3 dollars! I was nervous at first because it wasn't carters that I love but look at how cute these clothes are! And 3 dollars a piece!

Baby belly

2011-04-02T12:35:00.001-07:00

I realized I'm 25 weeks(about 6 months) and havnt taken any pregnancy pictures of my belly. Much of that is because I have just looked fat and bloated until now! My belly pooped literally over night! Its nice not being asked" who are you buying all baby stuff for?" At the register! Now I am getting when are you due!? I love it!

on the move

2011-03-20T14:32:00.000-07:00

not only is out little Khloe moving like crazy but so are Steve and I! Steve was transferred to Cheyenne Wyoming last week! We have about 6 weeks to rent our home out and move! we both have really wanted to make a move out of Rock Springs since the day we moved in! With our trip to Hawaii we kept saying "we really need to get out of Rock Springs, its so ugly here!" and about a month later here we are saying our final good byes. We are REALLY going to miss everyone we have meet and become friends with! I have never had such good friends and felt so welcomed before! i know i am going to miss everyone in our ward and the salon I work at! the girls at work have become my family in Rock Springs! Especially when Steve started working 10 to 12 hour days! but ask anyone we just were not happy to be living in rock springs....so we are headed to Cheyenne. I am especially happy to be moving there because my family and best friend lives only 45 minutes away!! sooo much better than the two and a half hour drive to salt lake.
,
ok so now to khole, that is what we have named our little nugget, she has been growing for 23 weeks today and at my target ultra sound she measured 1.1 pound and rump to crown 6 inches! it is just so amazing to me that she is growing so fast! only 17 more weeks till she is here! this past couple of weeks i have been starting to see her when she kicks me! I feel so blessed to finally be expecting! it took what felt like forever! I am so exited to have a family of 4(yes i do count my dog in that number)!

Its a...

2011-02-10T18:50:00.000-08:00

We are having a girl!!! And I can't stop shopping for her! In our mall there is a stand with blank signs and he puts the words you want on it! I saw a dark version of this sign but wanted it in white and black to match the nursery! I LOVE it! I couldn't be happier with a little girl but poor steve still "needs time to process" he really wanted a boy! Maybe next time in the FAR FAR future!!

We are 11 weeks and let me tell you....pregnancy is not as fun as it sounds! Im so grateful to finally be pregnant because it took a while but man its hard! haha We really want a little boy but would be happy with either! It was really fun knowing that this was our last Christmas without a little one and getting little outfits for the baby. My little brother got me a Jordan out fit with little booties and cap its soooo stinking cute! My sister in law got our spud a pj set with ducks all over it! ahhh its so fun! we are due July 17 im sure this wont be the last time you hear about it!

Christmas eve and trying to get ready!

Well since I have been soooo busy the past month I have had NO time to take Buddy to the groomers. As part of going to fort collins for christmas was bathing buddy. I said"let's take a bath" he sprinted to the toilet and hid under it. (He has done this before but this time was different!) I went to pick him up and he snapped at me and growled! He was sooo mad at me for giving him a bath!! Next time I won't be doing this....

Tonight, as I lie in bed, after a good day with the family hearing only one thing ruined my day. This dilemma I'm having is on going and I need to pull my head out of my butt and remember how blessed we are!
1. I have a wonderful husband
2. We have a house
3. We both have jobs to pay for that house.
4. Our family is the most important thing in our life, life would suck without them.
5. We have the best friends ever
6. We both LOVE our jobs.
7. I'm so grateful for greys on thursday
8. Diet coke after a long day!
9. Having the best dog in the world and the cuttest!
10. And of course the gospel knowing there is a plan for everyone even if I don't really like the plan right now its still "our" plan...
All in all I know we will come out of this dilemma better people BUT its hard not to ask......WHY

But he did try sushi and indian food for me and he ended up liking them so I had to try his food. And it wasn't as bad as you would think. DONT GET ME WRONG I DONT THINK I WILL EVER CRAVE THESE FOODS BUT they arnt as bad as you would think...

Saturday steve went to seven peaks water park with his young men and left me with 5 loads of laundry, dirty floors, dishes pouring our the side of the sink, last coat of paint on the dresser, dust that was super thick, and then my dog decided to get sick and puke all over!

Since steve quit his job and took a new one we don't have insurance till september 1st! Sucky....so I finish my appointments, take benadryl(sp) and put ice on it, feel came back about 9.

BUT...... This weekend we had a BIG turn around. We went to denver to look at a car(yes still with no job) and actually bought it. we got a saturn vue and we LOVE it! Came home and was shopping and steve got a phone call offering him a JOB!!! We get to stay in Rock springs and its a significant increase in pay:) we have been so blessed by how fast a job came! And a good job at that! Later that night my parents took us to dinner to celebrate and the food took OVER an hour so it ended up being FREE! Nothing better than free food right? Any ways so grateful that we found a job and even more grateful we get to stay in our house! Rock springs has grown on me:)

this is what ALL our time and energy has gone into...this is our baby "Buddy" He was three months when this pic was taken and he is 6 months now...he is the best dog in the world! he keeps getting bigger! we got him at 6 pounds and he is now at 10.5 pounds.... the best thing in the world is when he finds our underwear at the bottom of our hamper and pulls it though the holes and runs away with it like he is getting away with murder! haha so freaking cute and cuddly!

he kinda looks really unhappy in this picture BUT it just shows you have furry he is:-) seriously iAM that dog person who dresses thier dog up..(i started because he was getting so cold out side when he would go potty it is a must in Wyoming!) but anyways ill have to get pictures of him in his outfits...haha so lame i know i know....on to something else....we FINALY got the house painted! its this cream color and then a couple green accent walls...i am very pleased with how they turned out!

i only have 160 more hours till i am done with school!!! 17.5 days to be exact! i cant wait! i just need to pass boards and then its time to make money! Im working at vanity four times a week and its just a job...nothing great....steve is still at the same job and just doing his thing.... anyways that wasn't as long as i thought it would be....

we have news....

2009-07-17T14:11:00.000-07:00

ok so no kids but we got a puppy!!! his name is Buddy, and he is the best dog that isnt potty trained! haha he is so stinking (literaly stinky)... cute! i had no idea how much work goes into a dog every three hours in the night to let him pee...the feeding times and letting him get on a pooping schedual...what the crap who knew.....
well i get to teach on sunday...supper nervous~ never done it before my only fear is not making the 30 mins of the class....i sure hope the sisters are willing to talk!!! ahhhh so scary!

so much time...

2009-06-29T16:58:00.000-07:00

well this weekend was something great called flaming George days...its the biggest fair that Wyoming(well rock springs and green river has seen) i have to admit it was fun but get this....Thursday school got out early so that people can get ready for the fights that night Friday no school because people would be busy getting ready for that night and still hung over from the fights...sat and Sunday off normally and then Monday we took off because our instructor had family in town...and guess what!? July 3rd(this coming Friday we are taking off because people need to ...your guessed it....get ready for the 4th of July!!! ahah I freaking love this place! so awesomely different from Boise!! so what am i doing with all this time off you ask...well today(Monday) i went shopping for food and planted flowers! i wanted to show Steve that i can get my hand dirty and actually do something outside..and i have to say it look pretty freaking awesome!
wish i was able to upload pictures! but of well got to LOVE not having Internet at home......
OHHHH i almost forgot Friday night we had this FREAK rain storm thing...it was so intense! our neighbors put this drain thing in that flooded our back yard! and never even said sorry! he was like "never seen this happen before" as he stands outside with a cold beer short ripped jeans and a tank top with hair poking out from underneath his fat arm pits..watching Steve try and get the water to move away from the house!..GROSS! and so rude! anyways enjoy that mental image!

still here

2009-06-09T16:01:00.000-07:00

i know its been a while since have posted anything but really nothing to great has happened...im still loving school, Steve loves his job...and other than that we don't do much....this last weekend we painted a couple walls my fav color GREEN! ahah my cloths now blend in with my walls! ahhh i love the color... see nothing exciting....when i get around ill take pictures and post them....ugh anyways any one want to come to Wyoming to see us? we are very lonely here... haha no but really....

first day of school!

2009-05-26T15:46:00.000-07:00

So today was my first day at school...(the one that i passed a six month waiting list) well its amazing! the girls are so funny and nice! the instructor is so nice and chill about everything! we were even allowed to have our phones out! haha and we only have one test a week and i wont have to take any more test till i start to finish up because we did so much freaking testing in Boise! I showed them my set of book and even my teacher was like this is stupid...hair should be hands on not testing...anyways 9 to 5 with an hour lunch but you never have to clock out! we left school a half an hour early because no one was coming in and we STILL get hours for it! when we are slow we just sit and talk on couches and hang out! i don't have my own station yet because they didn't have room for me but i share one with who ever is gone for that day...its so nice! Its nice that everyone really does get along. Its what school should be like...plus i get to wear what i want:-) its amazing pretty much! i cant wait to get to know the girls even better its so much fun!

we made it!...

2009-05-11T14:01:00.000-07:00

well steve and i are all moved into our new HOME! well not new new but new to us! its so fun thinking of painting ideas and new things that would improve the place! i love it here so far but...its kinda wierd here to...i went out sunday morning to get my news papers for my coupons and it was LAST WEEKS NEWS PAPER! who in their right mind sells a week old news paper?! well i guess the albertsons in rock springs does...then using the coupons was another story for another day...internet and cable are so expensive here we wont get it for about another month but on the positive side the library has free internet and its about 2 mins away from our house! its nice and there is only one tv station here WITH bunny ears...we we watch alot of 2 and a half men! anyways these pictures are not great by any means but here is our cute little pad!

in your face...

2009-04-30T15:27:00.000-07:00

well you know my last post...i have made peace with albertsons...i finally got my .15 cent toilet paper! not only did it but i also got
8-2lt of diet coke
8-boxes of cereal
4-Velveeta mac&cheese boxes
2-boxes of wheat thins
10-cans of tomatoes(for soups)
2- v8 splashes
2-24 packs of water
3- packages of toilet paper!

total 40 dollars...savings of 60 dollars! pretty awesome, i want to get better so if any one knows how to get it better PLEASE let me know! i LOVE watching the total drop from 100 dollars to 40 it is such a thrill!

well other than shopping we are house owners in 1 week! crazy...we are all moved out of Boise and it feels great but so sad at the same time!

my mother in law had a HUGE scare with cancer this last week. they found stage 2 melanoma under her thumb nail(only 5% of this cancer shows up here) so Monday they removed some of her left hand thumb and when they did the testing they said we think we have everything and we will let you know the results this week...well today she found out she is now FREE of cancer! As Rayo puts it now she can give us 1 1/2 thumbs up! haha I dont know what i would do with out her! she is so amazing and caring! So happy and grateful she is going to be ok!

seriously?

2009-04-21T13:05:00.000-07:00

Well today is the last day to double coupons at Albertsons...so knowing they would be in short supply i didn't go in with high expectations but what happened next was so annoying...!
since we are in the middle of a move i don't want to buy food that i will have to haul around for the next two weeks but i found an amazing deal on toilet paper....15 cents a pack...who can resist that? so i break down and went shopping. i go and and they are out of the specific pack that i need to use my coupon...so like in Boise you can grab the closest price to it and they will lower the price and let you use your coupon(albertsons policy is to have the shelves stocked at all time) well i get up to the register with my six packages of toilet paper and they ring up at 5 dollars...well then i say your out...the ones i wanted were 2.15. she says snotty "I cant do that..." after telling her albertsons policy she gets frustrated and says well if you don't want to pay full price go someplace else....HOW RUDE IS THAT?!
She is VERY lucky i was angry and didn't have the patients to talk to her manager! need less to say i didn't get my 15 cent toilet paper...

hold on...here we go

2009-04-16T21:47:00.000-07:00

well tomorrow morning it starts...Steve moves to Rock Springs and on Monday he starts his new job as a credit manager at wells fargo. it has been such a blessing and also on of the scariest things we have EVER done! steve moves up for 2 1/2 weeks before me, on our one year anniversary we sign on our house, and on the 7th of may we move in! it seems like life is in fast forward! We have felt from day one that we need to go but the little bumps that pop up are sure making it hard...like Steves car dieing...honestly you see junkers from like 25 years ago with 300,000 thousand miles on it..our little 12 year old saturn with 95,000 miles couldnt make it another 5 months? well luckily we have a thrid car that will are going to pick up tomorrow in Poki...but still it sucks...

Steve farted...it really stunk! he thought it was FUNNY... i didnt...

After steve farted we found a porta potty....while he pooped i played on the tractor....it was fun

On a happy note im done with school for a while. im transferring my hours to a school in rock springs. it will be fun to learn what the other school has to offer! and this past weekend my brother in law shawn took pictures of steve and I for our one year anniversary! they turned out soooo amazing!!

were is time going?!

2009-04-06T13:15:00.001-07:00

life is pretty much crazy right now for us...Steve leaves Idaho in 12 days:-( trying to get things together to move...finding time to fit in friend time and still working and going to school it seems like life is flying by! but things are going well, the house we are buying is working out well, stupid bank needs everything in the world and then some to prove that we will be able to get the loan for it...its stupid! but worth it in the end!
I colored my hair again..haha i put in a darker color so it looks more natural and ill be able to go longer with out coloring my hair. this will be nice since most likely ill be waiting a while to go back to school so i can get in the good school.
and i went shopping again today with my coupons! and i saved $95! i didn't get it down to half price this week but pretty close...i should have spent 250 bucks but i only spent 150...more than i wanted to this week but next weeks there are no coupons...so it will pay off...or at least i like to think so:-)

I TRYED COUPONS!!!

2009-03-30T20:19:00.000-07:00

so my friend lacy showed me how to use coupons this weekend and for some reason i LOVED it! so today after i clipped and organized all my coupons i went out to test what i could do~ so today i got:
8-12 packs of soda
6- mac and cheeses
1- 3 lb bag of shrimp
2- bottles of ranch dressing
2-rolls of foil
2- bags of cough drops
10- 1/2 gallons of OJ and chocolate milk
2-packages of ball park hot dogs

and the total of all this brand named food was $94.94 BUT i only paid......$49.88
I couldn't believe what i was saving on stuff that i bought every week!!

ready or not...

2009-03-25T16:59:00.001-07:00

Here we come rock springs Wyoming! Steve got the job and so we are moving...again. This is such a good thing for us. we will be able to start a career for steve and move on with life. so this means that we also bought our first house today...here are some pictures(just remember this guy who lived here was very Wyoming!)

I cant wait to start i just really don't want to leave Boise...I'm going to miss alot about it!

third time is a charm!

2009-03-19T12:27:00.000-07:00

Well this past week i have been in rock springs Wyoming...looking for houses...that's right we are 99.9% sure that we are moving there. Steve had an interview and it went really well! we should know if we got the job by Tuesday or Wednesday. we really want this job especially since we put in an offer on the house and they took it!!! but they know that if we don't get the job that we can back out...but the place is super cute...its a town home, 3 bedrooms 2.5 bathrooms just what we wanted! ill post pictures when things are final...i would not want to get to excited about it...
the only thing that didn't as planned was my school. i would be put on a waiting list for about 6 months...(i would be finished in 6 months if i didn't have a break) hopefully i can talk them into letting me in! cross your fingers!:-)

colorado friends are the best!

2009-03-12T20:03:00.000-07:00

So my 21st birthday was nothing to rant and rave about...UNTIL i found this Monday morning when Steve and I made it home! A package from THE GREAT JESSIE!!This is the beautiful packing job...humm what could it be?

Margarita glasses!! and a "moctail" book of non-alcohol drinks!

I loved it so much that that night Steve and I made some drinks! It was so fun!

Jessie you made my birthday! You have NO IDEA how much your gift meant to me!! I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! Love ya much!!! THANKS AGAIN!....oops:-)

Weekend Trip

2009-03-09T17:57:00.000-07:00

Well this weekend was my 21st birthday...Steve and I went to Logan for it and it was a blast! Friday night we went to the Jazz vs. Nuggets game and it such a good game!! My brother Jeff and his fiance Lauren came! It was the first time I got to see the ring! It was so beautiful! They are getting married Oct. 12 In Moab, Utah! And I get to be a Bridesmaid! I cant wait! I have always wanted to be one! I cant wait! and i am SOO happy for them!

As for my birthday...we drove from Ogden to Logan and went to dinner with some of the best girls in the world! It was so much fun to see Jen and Whit again! I cant wait till I can see them again!!

As for my hair...its doing much better! I am able to get a comb though it! and I re-colored it about a week ago! Its still not the color i want it to be but we are getting closer!

my true love

2009-02-24T18:55:00.000-08:00

although I REALLY love steve I also REALLY love Diet Coke.
Diet Coke never talks back
Diet Coke listens and always makes me feel better
Diet Coke takes my headaches away
I would marry Diet coke if it were possible! haha just kidding....

Steve does all these things and more for me! but im really wanting a Diet coke right now...but already had 4 today....i cant have anymore...i need a limit....

my hair oops....

2009-02-19T16:14:00.000-08:00

well as you can see this is me with no color in my hair....awful!!!

me with my orange stained hair...

The new and MUCH better hair...we did so manyprocesses on my hair that it is now like cotton and it has no protein in it so it cant be blow dry for a while but in two weeks my hair will be almost good as new...

lesson learned.....NEVER BLEACH YOUR HAIR ALL THE WAY OUT NO MATTER WHAT!! AMBER YOU DID AN AWESOME JOB!

2009-02-16T10:07:00.000-08:00

i really have nothing to say...our life is pretty boring right now...we did Finally move, and we love it! its feels so much bigger than our old place... For valentines day Steve and i went to the Utah State vs Boise State basketball game...and our team lost(usu)..we played like crap! but thats ok they are still number one in our book! and only 3 more weeks till im 21!...not that it changes my life much but still everyone looks forward to being 21, i will be able to finally rent a car if i ever need to rent one:-)

2009-02-06T16:25:00.000-08:00

Be the change in the world that you want to see....easier said than done....right? But how do you stay positive when you feel like the world is crashing in on you? Im not sure how to do this but i guess ill figure it out soon...

Funny story though....the Dollar tree in Nam pa Idaho is having a clearance! Dont miss out at the dollar store sale!! haha

finaly...

2009-01-28T15:43:00.000-08:00

we got a new tv and an actual tv stand!! About two weekends ago rc willey was having a big sale on everything with great financing so we finally did it! The picture does not do it justice! We are moving in about 3 weeks and when we move in we will pick everything up and hopefully it will help our new place feel more like home! if nothing else it will help it look better!

Today I missed school...i never heard my alarm clock go off this morning and i woke up at 7:30 and if im ten minutes late i get sent home...with a thirty min drive out to nampa there was no way i would make it to school by 8! so today i was so bored! i have done nothing...i hate sitting around....i wanted to go to school so much..oh well...

My name is nicky and I fake "n" bake...

2009-01-26T16:19:00.000-08:00

I did it thats right...i know i promised i wouldn't ever fake n bake again but i had to! I was getting so white and not seeing the sun for almost 3 weeks was getting really hard...and then my friend Keisha gave me a weeks worth of free tanning so...i caved in and went....and it was AMAZING!!! they have this new bed that scans your skin tones and only puts the rays that your skin needs to tan! It was amazing...it had a mister and a cooling fan that actually cooled the bed down....i was able to go for 20 mins(i didnt have a base tan either) and didnt burn! i only got an amazing tan! the only bad part is that if i didnt have a week free with any bed that one twenty mins would have cost me $40...it will be nice for the next week to get super tan and then by the time its gone it will be Summer, ahh it was a wonderful day!

PEOPLE NEED TO STOP!

2009-01-24T19:12:00.000-08:00

Ok...perms are gross...i dont care who you are or what the conditions....YOU DO NOT NEED A PERM! The only way a perm is ok is if you dont have arms and cant do your hair yourself! if you dont have BOTH your arms go ahead ask for a perm...if not just dont, they are nasty! Plus we hate doing them! oh and if by any chance you do get your hair stylist lets you get one dont say you need to be out in two hours...its just not going to happen....

I had a very frustrating lady today at school she asked for a perm, asked me to wash it out after the perm solution had been put on(just in case you dont know if you wash withing 48 hours you loose your perm curl) then asked me to put a color on her hair and NOT wash it out!!! My instructors told me I had to do everything to! then she showed me how she liked her hair to be done and i turned her around after two of us worked on it and she goes "ugh this is ugly" it looked just like how she showed me! erg some people piss me off...

So lesson to be learned dont get a perm(unless you dont have arms)!!!!

HaHa isnt this so true?

2009-01-23T17:26:00.000-08:00

Haha i saw this picture and i laughed so hard! because i feel like this is all i say all day long...don't get me wrong, i love being Mormon wouldn't change it for the world but count how many times you say this in a day..haha well i guess for people who live in Utah dont say this much but in nampa idaho i sure say it alot! haha

I kinda want this shirt...

out of shape?

2009-01-12T15:45:00.000-08:00

Since i got married in May I have not had a place to work out...so I just didn't...Steve and I thought about getting a membership to a gym but they are freaking expensive! Well lately i have been getting really depressed about my body and the twelve pounds that i have put on in 9 months.. Well Oprah show last week and then again today was on health, while i was watching it today i had the urge to go running outside(i hate running outside...) well i got dressed and started out to run thinking i would be gone for at least 40 mins...HAHA I found a track from an old school and could run less than a mile!!! In high school and before i got married i could run 3 miles and not stop to break! haha in my three laps around the track i had to take 3 breaks!! Im pathetic! So here is my goal...I want to be able to run a full mile by the end of the month...doesn't sound like much to most people but I guess i have to start some were! So keep me to this goal!!!

Oh ps..we didnt get the house...it was very sad to hear but that just means it was not meant to be.:-( it was a very sad day!

I always forget how lucky I really am!

2009-01-06T16:24:00.000-08:00

I have found that while doing hair people spill their life and will tell me things they wouldn't have even if i was one of their friends. Today I was given a lovely mother of 2 beautiful children and she was 21 years old. She was the kindest lady and she was living in a women's rehab center...She told me her life and i gave her an insight into my life, and i realized how lucky I am to have such a great family and friends who support me in everything i do! Also to have the Gospel in my life, I have never had such an urge to tell someone about the church, She just needed a little bit of guidance in her life...She had a hard childhood and doesn't know how to get out of it! I brought it up a little but i wish now i would have had the nerve to say more...i hope she will come back and we can talk about it some more! Such a great experience! If i don't see her again i hope the best for her!

Still have not heard back from the bank about the house...we should hear back tomorrow! Ahh we really want this to work!

Lets hope the second time works!!

2009-01-03T17:40:00.000-08:00

Remember this picture? Because the last time i posted this picture Steve and I had put in an offer on the house and the bank pretty much laughed in our face...WELL we called our Realtor and asked him if this house was still on the market and it was! Well to make it even better IT DROPPED IN PRICE! Even lower than what we had offered the first time...so we decided to put in another offer! We should know by Thursday if we got the house or not!!! If we get the house we will be moved in and everything done by March 1st!! I would KILL to have this house its so perfect for what Steve and I need right now! And the Price is AMAZING! Lets all keep our fingers crossed and only positive thinking!!!!

Im just pretending to be Juno

2008-12-22T17:04:00.000-08:00

Sunday night steve and I really didnt have alot to do and got really board! so while steve ate his pizza rolls I opened up a dvd from under the tree..it was JUNO! I freaking loved that movie..DONT GET ANY IDEAS IM NOT PREGO...im just pretending to be juno! If you have not seen Juno i strongly suggest it! we take off on wednesday for colorado! and we cant wait! and Christmas is almost here!!!!

Its begining to look alot like christmas!

2008-12-15T09:06:00.000-08:00

This weekend it was the Cobbley family Christmas party! it was so fun to meet my father in laws family! La Joy made us this quilt for a wedding present! its so beautiful! and its HUGE! We have a California king bed and it hangs on the floor all for sides of the bed! but its so nice! i cant wait to see what it will look like on a high bed with a nice head and foot board!

And this is what Christmas looks like in Boise Idaho...the town stops when it snows even half an inch! Its so pathetic! even when it rains people freak out and start driving ten miles an hour on the highway when its just a wet road! Now i hate driving in bad weather but come on Boise! Learn how to drive!

This is our cute Christmas tree! its small for sure but its cute! we now have half our Christmas under our tree and its so fun to get excited to open them in ten days! and in nine days we get to go back to COLORADO! This will be the first time in almost a year that Steve has been back to Colorado! i cant wait to see my house and my family...ahh i hate living so far away! Every time i get to see Steve's parents i miss mine even more! and lately we have been able to see his parents alot! its so hard to live so far away! But i just cherish my visits to see them even more!

Its ALMOST here!!!!

2008-11-19T18:40:00.000-08:00

Ok so for those of you who REALLY know me I LOVE CHRISTMAS! there is nothing more perfect than it! I love the holidays and people all of a sudden become Christ like and giving! For the last two years my favorite part is the day after thanksgiving the lights at temple square come up! They are beautiful! Its were i wanted Steve to propose but i guess i should have told him that..haha Anyways i didn't think Steve and i were thinking that since we moved to Idaho we wouldn't be able to see them BUT we will!!! I cant wait to walk around with hot chocolate and looking at the most beautiful lights and the temple all lit up!

I also like thanksgiving but its not as great as Christmas!! And this year Steve and i get to come home to Colorado for Christmas! (FYI i already have our small Christmas tree up and I get to put up the big one next week!!!) ahhhhhhhhhhh i freaking cant wait!!! snow, Santa clause, red-white hot chocolate, Christmas trees lit up though front room windows with the house lights up and on...Christmas music by country singer!! ahhhhhh I cant wait and it all starts next week!!!

little trip to Poki

2008-11-17T17:47:00.000-08:00

If that car had girl parts Steve would have married his car..haha He bought this car totaled and has rebuilt this car and it is so freaking fast! When we got married we left it in Pocatello because having 3 cars and 3 cars to insure was way to much! not to mention this car takes premium and a couple week ago gas was $4.90 a gallon but this weekend while we were in Poki this weekend we got to take it on a quick ride. I always forget how fast it is! My body gets pushed back into the seat when Steve drives...that's probably why Steve got 4 tickets in two months...But it is so pretty hu?

While we were in Poki my great parents in law wanted to try ear candling! So here they are!

I really don't think Steve's dad wanted to have his picture taken! I love that he has his hand over his eyes!

On Sunday Steves dad spoke in church and you would never believe what happened...The lights went out while he was speaking in sacrament! It was so cute when he pulled out his miniature flash light so he could continue to speak! Only Rayo would have one handy during a talk!

Steve and I had the best surprise ever last week! My grandparents who live in Logan come to Boise to see us! It was so good to see them! Steve and I would go over to their house at least once a week to eat dinner or just to talk...i miss this sooo much! When they got here they took us out to dinner and Red Robin and then we came home and made nuts for a church thing. In the morning they wanted me to cut their hair! It turned out pretty well, well at least I think it did! We Loved seeing them and miss them sooooo much! But only 11 more days till i get to see them again!

What is happening to this world?!

2008-11-09T21:27:00.000-08:00

So just in case you were wondering we didn't get that house...they wanted us to pay WAY to much...and for how much needed to be done it wasn't worth it. I think it ended up being a good thing though because Steve's work place is starting to lay off people. Thankfully we have survived the first big round of lay offs and hopefully there wont be another! So we are still in our little apartment and we probably will stop looking for house until our lease is up. Its only 6 more months..oh well

Well Saturday morning i was walking into school and i saw my instructor Rick say "Don't go in the back stay up front and don't touch anything, the school has been broken into" Some one had broken in to the school(we still have no idea how it happened) and stole all of the money in the register. This is probably the worst thing to happen to my school right now. It has been really slow, we are a new school and not many people are able to get a loan to come to school, Not to much money coming in....It feels like every place i walk into gets robbed..first it was our cars, then the swat team at our apartments, and the many other times the cops have been in our complex, the Applebees we went to this week was also robbed..and NOW THE SCHOOL I GO TO WAS ROBBED! What the heck?!

And to make things better this week our Ward was split into five! It sucks so much! My friend Lacey and I were split up, it sucks...i wish that it would go back to normal. Steve and I were just starting to get comfortable in this ward. So now we are in a new Stake and Ward and have church at 12:30! So many things have changed this week!

Other than these things this week life has been good! I started on the floor this week! It has been really fun doing hair all day(well when someone comes in) I have loved it! Steve is still just working and selling cars...

2008-11-03T09:43:00.000-08:00

This is probably the most disgusting thing i have EVER heard! These two girls are both 19 years old are virgins. They are actioning off their virginity to pay for college! This was on Tyra bank show girls look up to her and she has these girls selling their body to who ever will pay the most! What kind of message is she sending to young girls? There was a 60 year old guy who was willing to pay upwards of 1 million dollars! Words don't explain how i feel about theses GIRLS! They have held off for 18 years(which is old for having your virginity these days, the average age for loosing it is 14!) why would they just give it away to some old saggy balls? Save it for someone who will mean something to you! I'm not saying that they NEED to wait for the one they will marry because lets be honest in the real world not many do not. But save it for someone you LOVE... Someone who LOVES you...Once its gone it NEVER comes back...I feel for these girls thinking that it is OK to do this...

WE DID IT!

2008-10-29T20:00:00.000-07:00

Today Steve and I put in an offer on that house! We should know by Friday night if the bank will take our offer...we went kinda low so they will probably have a counter offer but we are expecting that...BUT WE COULD BE LIVING IN A HOUSE BY DECEMBER 12!!! I freaking cant wait! Steve and I drive by almost everyday just to "look" at the house because its so pretty..haha Oh i just want it so bad!! so lets all have positive thinking! AND we would be so close to our friends brad and Laura and my new friends from school would be close and it would only take five minutes to get to work and WALMART..haha

Tonight two girls from my school came over and we made cookies...some for Keisha's Boyfriend who is serving in Alaska and some for Calli's boyfriend who is in Salt lake city! It was LOTS of fun!

I CANT WAIT TO FIND OUT IF THE BANK TAKES OUR OFFER!!!!!!!! ahhhh i HATE our apartment!

I cant wait!

2008-10-26T20:37:00.000-07:00

Steve and I have been playing with the idea of buying a house. We both really want one and we REALLY need one. Our little two bedroom and two bath is NOT big enough! We are spilling out of our second bedroom and our kitchen! This week we found out that we could get approved and this is what we found! This is my favorite house and its such a great price! It has a nice sized backyard and the neighborhood is really nice! I love that it has a security system already which i NEED, I am kinda a scardy cat...The best part is that its about five minutes from school and steve's job! That means I would be able to wake up at 7 instead of 6:20! Anyways...Lets hope that they accept our first offer so we can move in!!
The kitchen is my favorite part! i love the color of the cabinets and the back splash! Its also open enough but still closed off from the living room...This bathroom is the second bathroom so its but i couldn't help myself! I really wish I would have taken more pictures of the rooms but next time we visit ill take more!

REALLY?

2008-10-23T16:45:00.000-07:00

so today at school i found something out(that i can not say) but it changed how i look at the world! This thing was really bad and one of those instances that you pray and hope never happen to you. The kind that would change everything about me and effect every little bit of my life...Anyways I never really liked the person who had this happen but it explains EVERYTHING! I feel awful for being annoyed with her..she has been through so much and who am i to think she is annoying? I can be annoying to...but anyways it made me think how lucky i really am to have such a great family, friends and a wonderful husband who loves me for me and so supportive! I have nothing to really worry about, the biggest thing on my mind right now is what to make for dinner! Not weather i am going to pay rent or eat, study or go to work. I know that my family will be there for me and now waking up at 6:30 to go to school is not something to worry about...my life issues are so small! I am just so lucky to know what i know and to be around such great people! Just remember to tell the people you love that you do love them and that your always thinking of them because you never know when they will leave!

Other than that depressing part of my day it was awesome! I LOVE school! I have never been so happy in my life! The girls are supper nice and never mean! I have made such good friends that i needed so badly! Moving to a new place and not knowing a single person is supper scary BUT i really think that both Steve and i have started to make a life for our self. We started looking for houses but we all know how hard it is to get approved for a home loan right now and Steve's commitment issues(a Mormon dating almost 2 year? unheard of...haha) We get to go to salt lake for thanksgiving, my family and his family will be there, i miss having family around! oh well its all good...life is good...well its what you make it i have found out!

*who sh*t on the coats? I hope it wasn't my coat!*

LOGAN

2008-10-08T18:24:00.000-07:00

!!!!!!!!!!I MISS LOGAN!!!!!!

who wouldnt miss it there?! Look at the beautiful temple, on the hill over looking the valley with the mountains soaring on all sides! just so amazing, i cant wait to move back!

Fun, point less and interesting field trip!

2008-10-06T13:19:00.000-07:00

Yes you read that right....in beauty school we do take field trips..we went to the art museum and the botanical gardens and then made a pit stop at the Idaho state penitentiary(the old one) It was such a fun day! At our first stop there was a wall with lots of quotes! here are my favorite ones!

I really love the one by Mother Teresa, it made me think about how I talk and I need to talk nicer about people, even if I don't like them. It related back to "be the change you want to see in the world" I would love to see nicer people, and to do that I also need to be nice! what a concept...ha ha

These are the best girls in the world! I would not like school if they were not there! They are so much fun! And they are both so cute, just pretty much the coolest people ever!

Then we went to this place called the botanical gardens...don't really know why we went here but we did and they had really pretty flowers that smelt so good!

GOLD GYM IS STUPID!

2008-09-29T14:44:00.000-07:00

So today i went out looking for a gym becuase steve and i need to drop some weight...well i really wanted golds becuase they have such nice stuff! tv's on all cardio machines free yoga classes(which i love) everything is just so nice! but the only hang up is that it costs $50 a person so there is two of us making JUST signing up is $100, now on top of that it is $35 for the first person and 25$ for the second person. Now to use thier gym we would have to pay $100+35+25=$160 to use a freaking gym! now we will probably sign up becuase we really need to..but come on Gold's 160 dollars?! this is why america is fat! it cost to much to be skinny! i could make half a years worth of weddy's trips with just one month of a membership! haha anyways...thats my rant for the day...thanks for listening...

HAPPY THOUGHTS FOR THE KITTY!

2008-09-26T16:56:00.000-07:00

Ok so we have these really nice neighbors who have the cutest kitty in the world its about 8 weeks old and their little girl is allergic to it...well it ran away and they were really sad about it and had asked me if i had seen the cat..well today when i went to get the mail there was the kitty on the mail box! so like a good neighbor i went over and said the mail box had a number for a lost kitty! Well the daughter stoped having health and breathing problems so they were not going to claim the cat back, and i asked if i could and she said yes!!! The only problem...Steve hates cats...but i feel so bad for this cat! and i LOVE cats! so please lets have happy thoughts that i will be able to get this cat! Oh i want it SO bad! I can see myself with it right now!

I wish I was older...

2008-09-22T18:28:00.000-07:00

I know im only 20 years old and I just got married but Im having baby cravings! Its horrible! I am not ready to have on but they are so cute! and it seems like every place I go there is a baby looking at me! they are everywhere! but deep down inside waking up every two hours doesnt seem fun or not being able to work for years and im still in school so really i dont want one but they sure are cute! and i cant wait to have one when i am ALOT older! I would like a yorkie dog though! They are also so cute! but so expensive!! I looked into one and they are 1000 dollars! The dog would be able to live in our apartment its so small, oh they are so cute!

I cant wait for Christmas! for those of you who know me i start getting excited about this time before Halloween is even here! Steve and I went to lows looking for spray paint and we found three isles of Christmas decorations! it made my week! I cant wait to make a Ginger bread house, smell Cinnamon bread, put up and decorate a Christmas tree, buying presents to wrap up and put under the tree! church is always so much fun during the holidays! ahhhh i really just cant wait for Christmas!!!! ehhh AND THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS CHRISTMAS IS THAT STEVE AND I GET TO COME TO COLORADO!!!!!!!

haha I Loved this!!

Well yesterday I drove eleven hours from Fort Collins Colorado To Boise Idaho...I was gone for a little over a week, it was nice but it feels so good to be with Steve again. needless to say there is ALOT to catch up on...I made a list and got almost everything done! So this is what I did get done.

Went to Nampa(15 min. away) to go to Sam's Club and Walmart to go grocery shopping...I left my debit card in my pant pockets that i wore yesterday...what should have taken no more than a hour took about two and a half hours...YUCK!
Unloaded my groceries- Noticing that I didnt get everything...Also a very BIG annoyance! and Forgot gas while I was at Sam's(its about ten cents cheaper)
Realized that I still had my brothers cuff links and so I went down to UPS and sent them off...
Went to the bank to find they were out of stamps...THATS WHY I WENT(FYI the bank is about five blocks away but takes about ten to fifteen mins away!)! So had to find them at another bank...
Home again...The apartment was very dusty! Luckily I bought swiffer duster and conditioner...Best Swiffer Product I have ever bought! I used it on my leather couches and they look NEW!(they are about seven years old..)
did the dishes two loads
Did the laundry...two loads
Paid the bills...

It think you get the hint...it was a busy and very frustrating day! Nothing seemed to go my way! Oh well Steve gets home in an hour and a half and we are having a date night! yay!!!

My little trip

2008-08-25T16:07:00.000-07:00

This weekend I left Steve and went to Salt Lake City to see my brother play in a concert. The concert was good well i should say if you like opra singing. It was an hour long and when it was over it was TIME for it to be over! But it was really fun to get dressed up and see my parents. I decided that I would go from salt lake to Fort Collins to see my parents and some friends! I am here now and i picked a really bad week, its the first day of classes...no one is around or has time to do anything. Sad day! Oh well its still fun to be home. The last time i came home was in feb. so its nice to just be home. Ill be here till friday morning and then i am packing up and heading to Logan for a night and on saterday ill go back to Idaho..:-( BUT on Tuesday i start school! I cant wait!

2008 Boise Fair!

2008-08-21T12:38:00.000-07:00

So Wednesday night Steve and I thought it would be fun to go eat fair food and wander around the fair. Thinking of this is going to be awesome! (in the back of my mind im thinking of the cheyenne frontier days) Nope not that at all! But it was still pretty cool! They had Stingrays there and we could pet them! They are so soft! It feels like wet peach fuz.

This is a bad picture but its the best I could get! The water was really nasty! Still REALLY COOL!!

Well after this we went and meet up with Brad and Laura and had funnel cakes and tacos..UMMM I love them! I had been craving one since we went to the stupid car thing!

I then remembered that I wanted to see the cows! They are always soo much bigger than what you see on the side of the road! That then made me remeber that when i went to Jessie and Rhitts house i never touched the utter! I did it Look!!

Ok so its not the much BUT I still touched it! haha

Here are some pictures of the petting zoo! The animals are so fun to look at!

GET AWAY

2008-08-18T15:40:00.000-07:00

This weekend Steve and I decided that we would have a short getaway to Logan to see the Campus, my grandparents and some friends. This was such a good trip! It was so nice to see Whit and Jen and just have a girls day! We went shopping and had Lunch and caught up on life! ah it was so needed! Steve and Dan hung out with the Larsen's. Later on Saturday we went to a demolition derby. Let me just say..what the heck! All you do is sit in the bleachers that are so hard and awkward and watch trashy cars hit each other... all I could think was AND THE POINT IS....? Plus it was $8 a PERSON! that's alot of money to watch something so lame! Oh well my husband thought it was great!

On Friday night Steve and I went up to campus and walked around and remembered the good times we had. walking and crunching the leafs that fell. having soaking wet jeans and shoes from the snow the quad walking though ecles center to warm up. waiting for the bus or hoping that you would know someone driving by to take you home.
Oh my gosh! Steve and I miss Logan so much! It is such a beautiful place to live people are so nice! every one smiles and says hello! It is so nice! Steve and I hope that we can move back to someplace in Utah within the next five or six years!

This shows how much i have to do

2008-08-14T17:51:00.001-07:00

So i started a job here in Boise when we first moved here at Chili's. I had worked at Chili's in Logan for almost two years so I thought it would be a good idea, maybe meet some friends, become a trainer for the perks and it sounded fun. BUT NO!! It was one of the worst places i have EVER worked at! The management was cool as people but when it came to the rules it was HORRIBLE! I got in trouble by a "manager in training" for the level of my ice in a cup! For nibbling on chip that i BOUGHT!! This place was crazy! and then just when I had started to kinda say things are getting better i got written up! for something that i didn't do!!! That was the end of things. i was finished! So i put my two weeks in, thinking that i would be able to find something to do! i put my two weeks in. and finished those two weeks in and did it with a smile! well now i sit on my butt in front of the TV. i don't want to go spend money to find stuff to do. I have decided that being crafty is REALLY expensive! and cant do it. Traveling would mean that i would have to leave Steve at home and once again its really expensive! We are trying to save for a house while the housing market is so low, that we are really trying to watch what we buy. so pretty much i sit at home with my chips and watch Oprah and read my cosmo...

I only have three weeks left! I get to start school September 2nd! and i cant wait!! i really hope it turns out better than my job did.

Things are looking better here in Boise though. we are starting to meet some really fun friends to hang out with! Lacy and Dean are our newest! They are such a fun couple to hang out with! they have two kids who are adorable! I feel really young around them because they are in their 30's but i love them! they are so funny!

Our apartment complex has gone two weeks with no cops! it has been so nice! I was really scary there for a while! any ways now i will stop rambling.

Our first apartment!

2008-08-09T15:52:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the Cobbley's apartment

I know its side ways but I once had a roommate who thought this key holder was the stupidest thing ever! I on the other hand love it! I think it look great! haha

this is our second bathroom...our bathroom was to gross to put up!

We had to use my desk as an entertaiment center becuase we dont want to buy one... oh the joys of being a newly wed!

this is the table I had to have so we could eat breakfast together and I can count on one hand how many times we have used it in three months! Oh well It still looks pretty!

CRAZY!

2008-08-05T14:57:00.000-07:00

Ok so Steve and I really do live in a nice part of town, but we just had a convict living next door to us..haha. Wednesday night I came home from work and the apartment was surrounded by cops. I saw there was a guy in the backseat so I just saw the end of it, this was creepy but just thought it was a drug bust. WELL Saturday afternoon I come home from shopping and find my apartment under lock down! Caution tape, cops with guns pointed, the swat team the hole thing! There was a guy who had locked himself in his apartment for eight hours! He had felony in Oregon and now in Idaho. the guy who was arrested on Wednesday was the same guy who had locked himself in on Saturday! The cops after eight hours finally shot tear gas into his apartment and he came out! here are some Pictures of the windows that were broken during the ordeal.

The Honeymoon!

2008-08-05T14:16:00.000-07:00

For our honeymoon we went on a five day cruise to the carabean! It was so nice after all the planning, stress DIETING...to just relax and eat all we wanted!

Soaking in the sun!

This was such a crazy place..random dogs running around following the waiters!
This was the best day we had on our cruise!

So to get a taxi in Florida was like twenty dollars each way to the beach, Steve and I had about three hours till we had to be on the boat so we decided to ride the bus. No one told us that there were two sets of buses running that day...We waited for the first bus for 30 minutes then had it pass us..so we crossed the street to get the other bus going in the same direction.. and the bus didn't stop AGAIN! Anyways we wait for almost two hours! It was so sad!

The boat finally pulled away!

Our boat!

2008-08-05T14:02:00.000-07:00

The most PERFECT day ever!

When they dropped Steve his pants ripped..He went the night without knowing
Nothing went wrong..not one thing!
Steve and I got married on May 6, 2008! Finally after almost a year and a half of dating! It seemed like forever for him to ask! I almost had to ask him!
