Been moved in for almost 2 months!

Yes, its been a little too long.. I try to at least update this once a month but I have been slacking.. Obviously.

We have been enjoying our house! We love this area.. We haven't really met anyone yet but the ones that we have are pretty cool :)

Craig is still my hill billy with his missing tooth. He actually has surgery to get it fixed next Wednesday. From what I understand, its very painful.. So wish him luck! He has been so busy with work and his lawn mowing business. He just started his business and is doing so good at it! Its a lot of work but he enjoys it. Hunting season just started AGAIN.. it feels like I just wrote about this.. so I'm going to become a widow once again. I think I will be kept busy here at our new house with painting and decorating it so thats something to look forward to.

Craig and I havent been up to much.. He has been doing his own thing, and I have been doing my own thing.

For the past few Saturday's, I've been going to my little brothers football games. He is so much fun to watch! He is our star player. They didnt make it to the play offs but they were sure close! He made a touch down pretty much every game. I LOVE supporting him in everything. I even got my nails done with his team's color GOLD and his #12 on my ring fingers. Not obsessed, jut proud! Next thing is basketball.

Halloween is just around the corner. I'm so excited to actually have trick-or-treaters this year! And a house to decorate for holidays :) My has this year flown by. It needs to slow down just a little bit.. Next thing you know Christmas will be here! Sorry for slacking!

FOUND A HOUSE!

So, the house hunting is FINALLY over. We decided to build a townhouse in Farmington, UT. Craig and I got to pick everything out! The colors of our carpet, tile and counter tops, cabinets, and paint. Its getting so close to being done! I took my best friend over to check out my house and the paint is all done! We couldnt go inside because they locked it and it was too late to get the key. Every time Craig and I go over to our house, we get more and more anxious and excited. This will be our very first house. Its something that we have been working really hard for and finally we are getting one. Our closing date is August 21, 2009, the day before Craig's birthday. Great birthday present right?! I'm not really looking forward to the paperwork and paying an arm and a leg but it will all be worth it at the end :) I will post pictures up soon..

In June, it was the Beene Family Reunion at Island Park. We had a cabin which was so nice inside and so much room! Craig and I brought 3 4-wheelers, my dad brought his new toy a Rhino, my Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Jay brought their motorcycles which made it even more fun! It did rain quite a bit but it gave us puddles! We were a mess after coming back from riding. We also went to Yellowstone, which I have never been there before. It wasnt really what I expected but it was gorgeous.

We have been so busy lately.. Craig has been playing soccer, working so hard trying to expand his Lawn Care Business, and being super sick. The day before we went home from Island Park, he came down with the Swine Flu. That stuff is so icky! He was out of work for 1 week for that, then got sick with Pneumonia and put him out of work for another week. After he went back to work, I got bronchitis and I was out for 5 days. Luckily, it started on a Friday and ended on Wednesday so I got to go back to work that week. Hopefully the sickness stays AWAY

House Hunting is harder than we thought!

and we thought it would be easy!!! We are still looking like crazy.. nothing really has caught our eye yet. I think we are too picky- which is good. Craig and I are spending all day tomorrow looking for one. Its a blast though looking! I cant wait to see whats out there tomorrow. 

Nothing really has happened in the past month. I joined a Stampin Up Club which gives me a hobby! I'm not the best at scrap booking yet but I'm on my way to be. Craig is still working hard as ever. Its the busy time of the year for their company so he is super busy. He also has a lawn care business "Lawn Mania" which is also keeping him busy- especially on weekends. But he loves doing his jobs! 

We cant wait for the summer to come! A family Reunion is coming up in June that we are really stoked for! Its going to be up at Island Park right by Yellow Stone Park. We are bringing our 4-wheelers to go on the trails. We are planning on going camping/fishing/boating a lot this summer too. So EXCITED!

Exciting News!

5 days seem so long but yet its so short. Craig drove to South Dakota for a guided Snow Geese hunt with Bill Saunders for 5 days with a few of his friends. Craig and his buddies were supposed to get video taped while they were hunting. His crew was in Missouri at the time and didnt get to video them which was a bummer. The first day wasnt such a success. They got a total of 1 goose. Yeah just 1 out of the millions that were flying around. Geese aren't as dumb as you think obviously. The next few hunts got better and better. They shot a total of 60 geese. Sad thing is, they should have gotten more than that in a day :( His drive home was a long one. He pulled his hammy right before he left. The drive there and back was miserable for him. He was glad to be home and so was I. I think we were both about to go insane for different reasons. I was so ready for him to get home.

So to the EXCITING NEWS. 

While Craig was driving home, he text me and said for me to remind him to talk to me about something when he gets home. Of course I was so anxious to hear what he had to say. He gets home and we start talking about his trip. I reminded him and guess what he said.. YOU READY? We are finally moving into our own place!!! :) That week was so hard to work. It was on my mind constantly. I wanted to just go find a house and move in right that second. Later that week, Craig and I went house hunting. Our first spot we fell in love with. Down side-the house isnt built yet Up Side- we get to build it ourselves and make it our own. Right now we are in the process of getting pre-qualified. After that, we are right on our way to our new beginning. 

Love Month!

Valentines day was great! Craig bought me some gorgeous flowers. Instead of going out to dinner with everyone else we decided to make our own candle light romantic dinner. We made Manicotti with veggies. it turned out great and it was fun to cook with each other. For desert we had chocolate covered strawberries. it hit the spot! Then we just hung out with each other for the rest of the night. 

So, I'm stuck with glasses for a bit. I had to have a gross eye surgery. I had clogged pores in my eye lid which caused bumps that irritated me. It wasnt a fun experience thats for sure. I've had a swollen eye for going on 4 days. its getting annoying and i miss my contacts! I'm just glad they are gone. 

January is over?

Time is flying! I cant believe we are already a month into the new year. This month was a pretty fun one! Craig was hunting pretty much all the time of course! He did awesome this hunting season. He always came home with ducks and geese.. I dont eat them of course but he didnt let them go to waste! But i'm glad its finally over. I get to see him! Yay!

Chaundra and i went to a concert! AVENGED SEVENFOLD! Saving Abel, Papa Roach and Buckcherry were there too! We had to stay outside and wait in line to get in for 45 min.. it was pretty cold but it was so worth it! There were some crazy people there though. I would definitely go to another one of their concerts. Amazing. Chaundra had a blast!

So, another exciting thing that happened this month. Chelle and I chopped our hair!!! I cut off at least 7 1/2 inches.. Chelle cut 9 inches. It took a lot for me to actually cut my hair but i did it! it feels so much better but it still takes just as long to do.

After:

Its so much healthier too! Kira did a great job!

Holidays!

Our Holiday went by so fast! I had basically 2 weeks off of work and relaxed.. We had our nephews stay the night with us Christmas Eve. It was so much fun to have them! They were so excited they couldn't sleep.. So I was up till 2 in the morning with them then to top that off, they woke me up at 4:45am. Yeah, we didnt get much sleep then. But it was so worth it! Craig gave me an iTouch which is pretty sweet. Of course, he has to show me up every year. I only got him clothes, but he is one tough person to shop for! 

New Years was good too.. Craig and I went to Coalville for the night. We went hot tubing and watched movies. We feel asleep before the New Year came so we werent up which is fine. We were tired.

Craig of course has been hunting for the past 3 months. He is a die hard for it. I dont see him that much but when I do I take advantage of it. He has been enjoying every second of it. Ice fishing is just around the corner.. We are just waiting for the lakes to freeze over.
