It has been a long time since I've updated. So long that its hard to know what to say! The move went smoothly and we are happily settled in our new place. The laptop died so I have been using my old desk top which wont let me view blogs!! Just yesterday I got a smart phone and thats how I am updating now. Which is why it will be short and sweet. Just know that we are doing well!

Maybe next time Ill say more! :)

On The Road Again...

It's time to pack up & move again! We've actually stayed in this house longer than any other we've live in together- a year & 4 months!! Woot woot!

Clint got a job in Bagdad, AZ which is where both his sisters live, where his parents used to live, and where he himself lived for a while. In fact he lived there when we first got together. There's a lot of positives and a few negatives about this move!
Let's start with the bad- he'll be making less money, it's a small tiny gossipy town, it's an hour & a half or so from a Wal Mart or any other shopping.
But the positives outweigh that by far- We get company housing (cheap!), better benefits and he has more opportunity for advancement. The town has a free gym, pool & golf course. We'll be close to his sisters (which I thought about putting on the other list LOL) which means no travling for Christmas or kids' birthdays which is awesome! The nearest town for shopping is Prescott which means I'll have a good excuse to go there and see my friends. If Clint & I ever want to go out of town without Zoey, one of his sisters will be able to check in on her. And of course his younger sister Robin (I have more in common with her) & I will be able to get together often for scrapbooking and hopefully the gym, and definitely trips to Prescott!
So mostly it is a really good thing! Of course it will be an adjustment but it is for the best!
Unfortunately this means I've gotta pack. Waaaah! No fun no fun! And I've gotta start soon. I wanna be ready in case we get our house soon (could take a while, but I'm hoping we'll get lucky). Clint leaves Sunday evening so if I don't start before then, I'll start Monday and hopefully get a whole bunch done by that weekend!

In other news, we had a happy Thanksgiving! We went to Safford to visit the in-laws and had a nice time! We played Dominoes & Rummy a few times which if you know me you know I love palying games! His Grandma (Memop) and I taught Holly how to play Go Fish & Memory, which was fun because she's old enough now to understand rules & all that. Of course that was all she wanted to do after we got her started! lol.
We slept out in the 5th wheel and the second night the propane ran out so it was freezing and I got a cold! Now it looks like I've given it to Clint... whoopsie! I guess we shoudn't have been sleeping together but there were limited options!

Well I guess that's all! I've still been scrapbooking a lot, in fact I just won a scrapbooking contest online. It wasn't for doing awesome pages or anything. It was who could scrap & post on the forum the most. And well I have a lot of time on my hands! So I look forward to seeing what the prize is! It doesn't matter though, it was a fun competition (and a tight one!) and I'm glad I participated and got to know those girls better! =D During the contest, I started making cards! You can see some of them in my scrapblog! :)
I don't expect to update again until after the move! But, who knows... :)

Stay Here

I recently downloaded Lee DeWyze's album and I am loving it!! I just wanted to share part of this song, "Stay Here."

Lies were told and tears were shed
But it ain't over for us yet
Just get that outta your head
Well I know we had our disconnections
To save us both from going different directions
Give me a minute
Give me a chance to say

I won't let you leave

I know right now you're mad but you will see
Why is it so hard for you to believe
Oh believe me
Every little thing is gonna be okay my dear
As long as you stay here

I hear that and I think about all the times Clint & I broke up early on in our relationship. I know that if one of us had asked the other to stay, we wouldn't have broken up.

However I also know that we needed all those break ups to get us to where we are. But still..

Speak Now

One of the first things I did this morning is download the new Taylor Swift album, Speak Now! Woot woot! I love Taylor, even though I'm a little older than her target audience. Whatev! I think she's awesome, and a good role model in a world full of Kesha's! Favorite song right now is Better Than Revenge. But that is likely to change over the next couple days.

I wanted to post the following link, moreso to make it easier for me to reference it in the future than because I think anyone will care. LOL. It's her songs decoded. I admit when I buy a Taylor album I decode the "hidden" messages in her lyrics (she capitolizes random letters for each song to spell out something, usually a hint to what/who the song is about). But this pro blogger did it for me and has the info needed to really figure out who the songs are about. So yay.

Here's the link.

Mom's Comin' To Town!

Yay! My mom is coming to visit me Nov 7-11! It's very soon! I'm so excited! She finally gets to meet my Zoey! :D I don't know what we'll do while she's here, but it will be great to see her! Yay!

Also, my brother just played a show in Branson and it sounds like he rocked it! He called me this morning and he & his girlfriend had just done a zip line! Jealous! You see those on reality shows and they look so fun!

Other then that, nothing new! Still been spending lots of time scrapbooking!

Oh no!

Last night I was leaning real close to the mirror (popping a pimple) and I noticed.... above my lip.... a hair! A long whisker like hair!! AHHH! I'm 26 I can't be worrying about this kind of yuckiness already! I think it goes without saying I plucked it right away! :(
