A day away

Deon and I finally got a day off together and decided to head up to the mountains and see his parents and grandma who were staying at a condo in Midway, Utah. The guys decided to go fishing and so us girls decided to go over to the Homestead Resort and walk around and check out the sites. Here is Jolene (my mother in law) and grandma taking a rest break. Grandma has been really sick lately (cancer) and hasn't even been able to get out of bed. But here she is, looking cute and walking around with us.

This is one of the walkways at the Homestead. It's really pretty up there. There are a lot of individual buildings with rooms in them, like the Milkhouse, Barn, etc etc. But it is really cool. You can play golf, rent horses, scuba dive in a crater....fun stuff!!






we decided after walking around a little bit, we would go up the road and check on the guys who were fishing a little pond at the rangers station. Here are a couple ducks enjoying the pond!!






as we are getting out of the car, there is a family yelling "look at the deer". So of course, I grab my camera and catch a family of deer coming across the street. It's a doe and her twins babies from last year. Which is cool!! The little one in the back, behind the tree is a little spike (boy) and the other are two does (mom and baby girl). I thought it was pretty cool how with all the people that were running around the area, that they were comfortable enough to come walking in.
Kinda makes me feel guilty, cause this year, I drew out for the deer hunt and want to shoot a nice Buck (male). But anyways, I am hoping that Deon and I get a few more days off together this summer to go fishing, hiking, and just spend some time together. It sucks cause he works days, and I pretty much work all night shifts.

40th!!


Well, when I woke up on Friday morning, and looked outside, I saw this sign, my neighbor made, sitting in the front yard. Along with pictures of me on the camper, my front entryway, and even down the street on a pole. She is so fun!! There was also a homemade pie and a gift on my front door when I looked there.




This is our camper (we are selling it) and she decorated it too












one of the pics on my car













Here is me, next to my sign. I wasn't really happy at this moment, cause I was headed to work. I think all companies should give you a paid day off for you birthday. Right??

Oh Crap!!


okay, so I have never stressed about a birthday before or even growing older, but OH CRAP....I am going to be 4o in 13 days. Everybody keeps telling me not to worry...40 is the new 30....I don't think so. 40 is 40!!! and it SUCKS!!!! Plus...when that statement comes from somebody who is maybe 20-25 years old....well....what do they know about being 40??? LOL...Deon has been teasing me about being worried over turning 40. I guess it is easier for guys to turn 40. Oh well... I guess I can't stop turning 40, but I am NOT happy about it.



The first picture of us, is when I was 17 years old...I have such a dorky smile...and huge eyebrows...LOL

This one of me and Stormy is last fall. Back when I was ONLY 39 years old.
I tried to add a pic from when I was younger...but I couldn't edit just me out of it for the picture. Oh well...
