Skunk Update/Wedding Anniversary

Well 4 days, 3 nights, and two skunks in a trap later, we are 85% back to normal. Occasionally we can still smell skunk that is coming up from underneath the trailer. Our landlord was kind enough to let us borrow a trap to catch the discusting creatures. Also she let us borrow a ozone machine that gets rid of the smell. That machine is still running and its been on since sunday. I just want to make sure that the smell is completely gone before I turn it off and give back. During all of this craziness we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. We spent most of the day in Taylor just hanging out together, since thats where we were staying for the time being. We did drive to Show Low to check on our house and then we went back down there to a Italian place thats really good for Dinner and thats pretty much all we did, it was just fun to spend time with each other

The Dreaded of the Dreaded of the Dreaded has Come This Morning

Todd and I woke up at 6:30 am, Todd went in the bathroom and came back to bed and said there was a SKUNK under our trailer and the bathroom reeks. I couldn't smell it at first cause I had a stuffy nose and then all of a sudden I could smell it. Our whole trailer smells like stinky, stinky , reeky, reeky skunk. I smelled our clothes and they don't smell but just being in the trailer theres going to be a stench of a smell so neither of us want to go to church smelling like skunk. Out of all the days why did the stupid animal pick today when we have church at 8:30 and not much time to spend the day outside to air out before going to church. I called my mom to tell her and she didn't feel sorry for us, she started busting up laughing and I told her if we aren't at church you know why. Seriously who would want to go anywhere smelling like a stupid skunks. Last week for about 4 nights in a row when I went to bed I would here something under our trailer, and then the noise would go away and then the next night it would come back. Well we decided that it was probably a cat under there or a mouse in the wall. The thought of a mouse in the house was not a good one. Now I don't know what would be worse the MOUSE or the SKUNK. The mouse definately doesn't stink as bad but they distroy things.

Valentines Day Weekend

This year was one of the better Valentines that I've had. Todd surprised me on Friday when he came home with a dozen red roses, a bag of sweetheart candy and a card. I love him so very much and he has always had a big romantic heart. That evening he helped me make cookies. On Saturday he got up and bought us doughnuts for breakfast. After we ate breakfast we frosted the cookies and then I took some to the Elders next door. Later on we took a rose to my mom and my grandma and then we took cookies to my sister that was in a car accident in mexico. That evening we went to Taylor to take a rose to his mom and his grandma. We decided to go to Eva's in Snowflake for dinner and his mom and dad joined us.

Saying Goodbye

Today has been the dreaded day that Todd and I have not been looking forward to at all. When I started babysitting I had no idea how long I would be watching little Johnny. Three weeks after I started watching him, his dad came to pick him up one day and told us that he was joining basic training but his mom was going to stay here and work. I continued watching him Mon- Fri. I didn't know how long his dad would be at basic training so I was preparing myself to not have him after the end of the year and then I found out that i would have him til the middle of Jan and then it went this long, so I feel very lucky to have been able to watch him longer than I originally thought. Johnny has been a huge blessing in my life these past 5 months. I not only got to watch him grow from just rolling over to crawling to walking around furniture, I got to watch him bounce in this bouncer I found for him to play in bounce so fast that it looked like he could launch himself out of it. Since I haven't been able to have any of my own yet, watching him helped me relax and not think about it as much and that I was able to in my own way mother him like he could have been mine. He was the best baby he took his morning and afternoon naps and they weren't short ones either. He had the cutest smile, personality and was very determined. This last week he climed up my moms 15 stairs and then turned around with a huge smile ''like I did it and you can't stop me now'' and all proud of himself. Now he is going to spend time with family in Florida and then in a few months they can finally live with his dad. I'm excited for them to be able to be together as a family again but Johnny will be missed alot. I really don't know what I'm going to do now that I don't have him anymore, but I'm sure things will come along that needs to be done. Todd would come home for lunch and and after work and play with him so I got to see a side of Todd that I haven't seen before and its made me realize what a Father figure he will be someday to our kids. Todds mom asked us one time if we had thought about being foster parents, at that time we hadn't but we have thought now and there is no way too many tears to fight back.

Fun Time In Mesa

Friday Jan 23rd we left Show Low at 5:00 and headed to Mesa for the weekend. Saturday Drew and Marielle fed us breakfast and then they left to a commitment and then we got ready to go to my uncles 80th birthday party. When Drew and Marielle came home we left and played frisbee golf, I've never played it before and I'm really not that good at throwing a frisbee but is was alot of fun. When we finished playing we went to the party, there were alot of people there mostly family. My uncle wanted soups and rolls to serve at the party. There were about 10 - 15 diferent kinds of soups to eat. We stayed for about and hour and then we went back to Drew and Marielles and found out that they made reservations at Chiles so the time in between we went to Mills Mall and window shopped to kill time and then we went to eat dinner. After we got home from that we played the game CURSE and i do not like that game at all. Sunday we went to church and then we went to the Temple and walked around had dinner at Marielles and then headed home for Show low but neither of us wanted to leave yet but we had too.

Happy New Year

Just wanted to write and wish all of you a Happy New Year. For Christmas we spent Christmas Eve with Todd's parents and grandma. We also stayed the night in Taylor and then we woke up had breakfast and then loaded up and came back to Show Low to spend Christmas day with my family. We also went and watched Bedtime Stories we recommend that movie to everyone. It also snowed for Christmas which was fun to play in. It was also nice to be able to relax a little and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas how blessed we are even though the country is going through a hard time. For New Years Eve we spent it with Todds parents again. Anyways hope everyone is having a wonderful new year so far.
