good decisions

I have recently been thinking about how lucky I am to have married my best friend. We laugh all the time and enjoy pretty much the same things. shopping, basketball, scaring the heck out of your wife daily. but seriously we do have a lot in common and I think to myself at least daily that I couldn't be happier with anyone else.

Marrying my best friend for eternity-Great decision!

Another good decision we have made lately was to come to Oklahoma. There is nothing like driving 20 hours away from your family and friends and looking at each other and saying well...here we go! It was scary and I'm not going to lie, I did shed some tears after I saw who and what I would be working with. But as always my husband tells me to buck up and just do it! So I am. And it's not as horrible as I was thinking.

Trent has been doing really well selling. He works so stinkin hard and sweats more out in the 105 degree weather with humidity to top it off than I ever knew was possible. The perks? We get to spend every morning together until 2 p.m. basically every day. Most mornings start with a run and then strait to the pool! We have become so close over these past couple of months. At college we were both going 20 different directions all day long and it was a good day if we got to spend more than 2 hours together. It was scary to come here and risk a lot but it has definitely been worth it. Trent's grad school is going to be around $100,000 by the time he graduates so a few extra dollars in the bank is helping us relax and feel like we aren't going to drown in debt over the next 6 years. We may be swimming in it but we aren't going to drown! :)

Coming to Oklahoma-Good decision! 

 Trent found this little nasty on the road. When I say little I mean HUGE GRASSHOPPER!

 We went to watch some horse races. SO COOL! look that their shadows...they were going so fast my camera caught two of the same horse!

We also decided to go home to visit friends and family for the 4th. We missed them so much! It was a good time to be able to see everyone. My family hasn't all been together for a whole year and that time was pretty crazy considering we had two weddings in week! We weren't camping and had delicious dutch oven and played my favorite game ever...catch phrase. If you ever get the chance to play that game with my mom... do it. You will cry because you are laughing so hard.

Everyone is at different stages and it is so exciting. Joe is about to be a mom. Sadie is about to be a wife. Karee, a grandma. HA kidding! ( a budding chef?) Keisha is on a mission. Cris is in the middle of cake making season and is skinnier than my index finger and she thinks dates taste like candy? and Kalli...Miss Kalli is officially a certified teacher! WAY TO GO LADY!

It was reallly hard to come back but once we got back here I was okay because I realized it was only 3 weeks until we moved home!

 Visiting home for the 4th-Good decision!

If you are wondering, I don't always make good decisions. Like telling a cop who hates Mormons that I am a Mormon...or applying the wrong sticker to 100 envelopes, or locking my keys in the car, or taking a break from running a week before I ran a 5k or eating 3 krispy cream doughnuts one day before noon. ( that was before the diet started....or why the diet started.) and accidentally leaving our heater on 80 in our apartment while we were gone to Idaho...ya NOT good. Booking our flights for 6:00 am so we had to get up at 3:45 to make it on time.....i could just keep going! but i won't because then people would think less of how great of a decision maker i am :) (okay so my husband gets credit for most of the good ones)
