Almost the end of 2010....

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and received everything you wanted! My Christmas was pretty good. Friday night, Christmas Eve, we all went to church and had a good service and sang Christmas songs. After, my parents and the Packers (Collin, Holly and Maddox) and Collins parents went to dinner at AppleBees! I love that place, ha! We had a good dinner and just hung out for a while.  After, that I went back home and made Reindeer cupcakes for Christmas.  I have been into making cupcakes this past year. Here is a picture of them.

Christmas Day, I didnt wake up right away because the family was not coming over till like 11:30.  So once everyone got there we ate lunch and then opened presents.  Its fun to watch the kids open all there gifts cause they get so excited about the littlest things.  I always get the 3 girls the same thing and the 2 boys the same thing, because its easier so they don't fight over them.  After the kids opened the adults opened all our gifts. I got some good things and even money to go buy more stuff.  Stockings were the last thing and I got lots of jewelry in mine! Once we were all done opening stuff we just hung out the rest of the day. I watched basketball all day, imagine that! HA!   But overall, Christmas was a success and can't wait till next year!!

I can't believe the year is almost over! A lot has gone on this year good and bad.  Maybe I will write in another blog a recap of the year.  Have a great week and can't wait for the new year!!!!

FIESTA BOWL here we come.....BOOMER SOONER

OU is the BIG 12 Champs!!!!

Saturdays game was so fun and also made me sooo nervous!! I watched it with my sisters family and her brother in law and his kids.  We were going crazy. I get wild during the games, yelling at the tv and just cheering loud!! I am so glad we came back and won!!!  It was great game for the last Big 12 Championship.

BOOMER SOONER!!! I cant wait for the Fiesta Bowl, January 1st!!
Bring it on UConn!

Also, I made it through one long week.  It was rough but I had lots of support around me. But it will continue to be hard and this time of the year does not help it very much!

I have not written anything in over a month and not a lot has gone on! I did start basketball and that is going really good. I am excited about my team this year. I have all new players and they all get along very well. I also think that we will win more than 3 games but I don't want to get my hopes up.  So that keeps me pretty busy right now and for the next 3 months.  Our first game is next week so hopefully it goes good.

Thanksgiving was good, we had it on Wednesday because my sisters went to there in-laws on Thursday.  The Packers also came over that night and we just ate and talked and looked at shopping ads.  Thursday, I didn't do anything but watch football and lay around, it was a nice day! That night me and Jennifer and HollyP went shopping at 10 pm. We went to the Outlets first so they could get kids clothes and then went to Walmart! We really didn't need anything, we just went for the experience! It was a lot of fun watching how serious other people take it.  I did end up buying all the kids gifts so that was good.  The rest of the weekend I just watched football, there were a lot of exciting games to watch!!! Of course the OU game was great, it did make me nervous for a bit but we finally pulled the Win off! BOOMER SOONER!!! Now off to the Big 12 Championship!!! Cant wait to watch!


Also, this weekend Clint and I broke up.  It is really hard right now for me, but I know God has a plan and I can't worry about it. Yes, that is easier said then done, but I am really going to believe that! Even if we don't get back together I learned a lot from him and he is a great guy that I will never forget! So if you could just pray and I know God is in control!

My Best Friends Wedding

 Its been a while since I have written anything about my life, so I thought I should give an update.

Well about two weeks ago my best friend Chelsea Bryant got married to Ricky and now she is Mrs. Chelsea Coulter!! I went a week before the wedding to help and finish up little things that needed to be done.  There was not a lot to do because most of it Chelsea and her mom had finished.  But we had some things to work on at their house, where Ricky had been living the last year.  We did some decorating with new wedding presents, finished some painting, stained a table, clean out closets, and cleaned the house. It was a fun week, yes there were some ups in downs in the week but that is always expected in the week before a wedding. It was really fun packing for her honeymoon too! After packing for it, I wanted to go along! We also moved her over to her new house and we were like I wonder if Ricky really knows how much stuff you have!  We also had some fun that week and got pedicures with Chelsea's mom on Thursday! Also, on Thursday we had her Bachelorette party with all 9 of the bridesmaids and Chelsea.  It was a lot of fun and I think she really enjoyed it.  Friday, we had a wonderful bridal lunch at her aunts house! The food was great and it was just a nice little setting to relax in and we got robes from Chelsea to wear on the day of the wedding while we got ready!! I love mine, it is lime green with a hot pink D on it!!!  Also, Friday was the rehearsal and that went very smooth and had great BBQ that Rickys mom made for dinner!!!

Saturday was the big day!!! And it was went soooo smooth!!!!!! It was a BEAUTIFUl wedding!!! I truly think Chelsea was the prettiest bride I have ever seen!! Her dress was stunning and everything looked so pretty!! We had a fun time that morning getting ready.  Some of us got our hair and makeup done and we all just hung out and relaxed!!! There was no stress and Chelsea was so calm!!! Thats how it should be on your wedding day!!! Overall the week went great and the wedding was amazing!!!


Also, alot of my friends got to meet Clint for the first time, so that was fun! I was really excited for him to meet them and Chelsea because it was weird that my best friend had never met my bf that I had been dating for over a year!! Of course she approved and I cant wait for the four of us to hang out together one day!!!! And I was happy that Clint and my family drove all the way down to be apart of this big day!! I even had to give a speech at the reception because I was the Maid of Honor and I was so nervous about it all week! But it went really good and I was happy with what I said!!!

Here are a few pictures from that week!! 

So I climbed a 14er-Mt Bierstadt

So I have been wanting to climb a 14er for awhile because Clint has talked about them and he has done a few.  We have not been able to find a weekend to go and plus its starting to get cold up in the mountains, but this last weekend was an open one.  So Friday he told me we should go climb Mt Bierstadt and that we had to leave at 5 am, so that meant getting up at 4:30 on a Saturday. Ha, of course I was thinking is this really worth it to get up that early to climb a mountain.   I was really excited about going and did not know what to expect and Clint told me that if I couldn't finish he was just gonna leave me behind and get me on the way down. So, I of course that made me want to do it and make him proud of me.

We got to the trail head about 7:15 and there we went. It was sooo cold for a while, but once I started walking I warmed up some.  For awhile it was not to bad and I was keeping up with him pretty good.  The reason we picked this one for my first because many people told me it was an easy one to start with and they were right.  It really was not to bad, the thing that was hard was breathing.  I mean don't get me wrong, it was hard and my legs were tired, but it wasn't something I couldn't do.  As we got closer to the summit it was really cool, you could see all around, I mean we were at 14,000 feet.  The last part was climbing over lots of rocks and at one point I said to him, "I think I have told you before that I am afraid of some heights?" And he was like "Yes, you have, are you OK?"  I really was fine, but I didn't look anywhere but at the rocks.

We finally made it after about 2 and half hours or so. It was a great feeling when I got to the top.  I never thought I would do something like this and I know lots of people do them everyday, but it still is a great achievement.  Something I thought was cool was that you write your name on a list so that they have everyone that has climbed that mountain in a book.  We didn't stay up there to long because it was sooo cold and windy.  Plus with the wind blowing and me afraid of heights I did not like that too much, so I just sat there while Clint walked all around taking pictures.  Going down the mountain was so much quicker and easier. But it was cool to tell all the other people going up, your almost there or you can do it.

Overall it was a lot of fun and I am glad we got to do this together! Maybe next summer we can do more together, but I will try to be in better shape.

Here are some of the pictures.  You can probably tell that I am freezing in them.

Weekend in Oklahoma

Well,  I have not posted anything since my first one, but I was waiting till I went to OK to post something else.

I went to OK on Thursday and drove by myself. It was a long trip, but not to bad and I just sang the whole way.  I went for my best friends personal shower! Chelsea is getting married Oct 9th and I am the Maid of Honor.  I have never been a maid of honor before so it is kind of fun! Friday, I just ran around Edmond and picked up some things I needed to get while being there!  One thing I made sure I did was go to the Big Red Shop to get new OU shirts.  I needed some new ones since we can't get them in Colorado.  I bought 2 new ones and I am excited to wear them. I also bought an OU sticker to go on my car, cant wait to put that on my car!   

Saturday was the shower at her cousins house. It was a great shower and she got lots of good little things  to wear.  I got to see some people I had not seen in awhile so that was fun.  And that night we decided to dye my hair and we did it once and had to do it again cause we missed some spots! So, we finished that at about 1:30 am, but we sure had fun! Laughing and joking about random things.  

The whole weekend was great! There is never a dull moment when we are together! I laughed and laughed all weekend. The first night I was there we were in her room about to go to bed and she started telling me some stories I have never heard and well that ended up with me laughing so hard I was crying! I love her like a sister and she means the world to me! I can not believe she is getting married in less than a month and I have to think of a speech for the reception. 

Today is a special day for my nephew Kolby turning 5 years old and also for my wonderful boyfriend Clint its his 27th birthday!! Happy Birthday boys!!!!

Oh and one last thing, OU is looking pretty good this year!!! BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!

  

My first blog, I never thought I would start blogging!

Hello everyone, here goes my first blog.  I think blogs are really cool, I mean I know for me I have looked at peoples and did not even have one till today! It is interesting to see what is going on your friends lives. I think it is way more personal then Facebook or any of the other sites.  It really lets people open up about there families and lives.  Mine probably wont be all that exciting, not a whole lot goes on in my life.

But for a little of what is going on in my life, I am just working for my brother in law Daniel, three days a week. The other two days I am helping my parents at their mission His Hands.  I love working there, it sometimes can be stressful, but at the same time I know that we are blessing so many families in Denver.  I also am coaching basketball again, which will start in a couple weeks. I am the Level 3 coach at Lakewood High School and an assistant with the Varsity team.  It is a lot of fun working with freshman and sophomores, they always keep me on my toes! I am hoping we have better season then last year and I think we will!

That is about all that is happening right now! It is so beautiful this time of year here in Colorado! Except I am not ready for winter.

Hopefully next time I blog something exciting will have happened!
