Life Can Get A Little Crazy

Sometimes do you ever wonder where in the heck did the holiday season go or even better yet where did last week go?! I seem to have been asking myself this a lot lately, it just feels like time is only getting faster and faster. Which honestly scares me. I don’t think there is any way to slow life down, but if you know, please  do enlighten me.

We seem to always have something to do whether it be going to concerts, spending time with family, church callings, date nights, school or the gym. I feel like we never just sit and relax sometimes. Even though I know that is where my butt is going after this post. I recently bought a groupon with a couple girls for a boot camp class.  Tonight was the first night of BOOT CAMP,  not going to lie I was a little stressed about it at work today the more I thought about all the possibilities my work out could have. My body feels fatigued and weak at the moment. But I know in the end I will be so glad that I pushed myself out of my comfort zone of body combat and the cardio cinema. Let’s hope I don’t get lazy continue to push myself and get the most out of this.

What else have we been up to you might wonder… well every year when the ACM’s are in town we seem to find all sorts of fun cheap or even FREE concerts to go too. This year didn’t fail us either.  We hit up Fremont Street to see Randy Houser, Easton Corbin, and headliner Ronnie Dunn. This is always a good time and this year proved to be nothing but interesting with all the street performers. Basically felt like I was on Hollywood Blvd. “Vegas Style!” The other concert we went to was a very relaxed night of acoustic music with several country stars and rising stars. Good music and good company, nothing better than that.

Shane is finishing up his first semester of college in a couple weeks and I am so proud of him for finishing it up. One semester down many more to come, but all in a good way. As, I see him doing homework and cramming last minute for exams, I am so glad that I am done with that chapter. After getting back into the school routine I am sure Shane is ready for summer break to camp, travel to California, hang by the pool, wakeboard and most of all enjoy time with his wife.  Or so I would like to think! I know I am ready to be laying by the pool and getting my tan skin back. I hate being white like a ghost in the winter. Bring on the brown skin!

Wishing I was back in Cancun on the beach….

Playing Catch Up!

It has been so long since this blog has been update, sadly, that I am going to try and give you a run down of what we have been up to the last several months.

First things first, if you will remember a couple posts ago I discussed the “happy hunting” season that was coming to the Huntsman Family, right?! No such luck, Shane went out several weekends looking for the big trophy bull Elk, but came home emptied handed. Crazy snow made it hard for them to get near the “big” ones. I’ll let you know to try and cheer him up I told him no worries honey, I am putting in for tags next season and I’ll get the big one. HAHA He was a good sport about it and was able to still have fun with his boys out hunting.

The Holidays – Why is it when we get older do the holidays seem to come and go so quickly. This is something that I am definitely not a fan of. It felt like right as I got into the whole season it was already over. But overall we had a fabulous Thanksgiving and Christmas. We spent Thanksgiving with my family this year and it was fun to be able to spend that with my family. Even though we see them every other week on Sunday’s its always a different feeling when you are able to spend a holiday together. It reminds me of how much  I really do love and appreciate my family and my in laws. Christmas was spent with the Huntsman’s this year. My first Christmas Eve away from home, but let’s just say my in laws are an awesome family and it felt as though nothing was different from any other Christmas. New Year’s we spent with friends the Warren’s and Wadsworth’s. It was a nice relaxing evening of good food and laughs. Picture wise I do not have much to show from the holidays which makes me realize I really need to start taking pictures a lot more. 

January – The New Year has brought some change into the house, Shane started his first semester of college. Woo hoo. He goes 3 nights a week which to me is a bummer cause then I don’t feel like I see him as much but I’ve decided while he is at class for 2 1/2 hours I could at least hit the gym for a hour of it. Then come home do a little relaxing, watch my girl shows, and then he is home. It’s working out well and he seems to like his classes so far. We have been able to spend LOTS of time outside  so far because of gorgeous spring like weather. I will take this 65 t0 70 degree weather over 40’s any day. I am such a Vegas girl, its almost pathetic. It could be 55 outside sunny, and I am freezing. That’s what I get for living in wonderful Las Vegas for 24 years. Shane, CJ(Shane’s younger brother) and I  have been to Valley of Fire and the Nevada Hot Springs. Of course at the hot springs we get all the way to the bottom to start taking some pictures and the camera battery was dead. Guess, I will now learn to check it before we leave the house. The boys were able to get in the Colorado River, CJ even swam across the river and back. CRAZY kid! The water was freezing, they both came out blue… literally. Diesel is our little trooper that loves the outdoors. When we take him hiking with us he is always way ahead and climbing over rocks. He can’t get enough of it.

February – The biggest change that has taken place so far this year is the fact that I have gotten a new job. I just started at an dental office this week. This I think will be a overall good change that I think is something that I have needed. I was with my old company for 5 1/2 years and loved every minute of it. But felt like it was time to build onto my resume a little more and break out of my comfort zone. Shane is in the middle of the metro police hiring process again. We are hoping that this is the lucky year for us! So far it is looking good. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. Lastly, February is the month I look forward to every year, and as most of you know this is because King George aka George Strait comes to town Superbowl weekend. I went again this year, along with my parents, brother and sister in law. It is always a fun time had by all. I believe my sister in law Jessica got a good chuckle out of watching my brother and I karaoke the whole night. What can I say we are die hard fans!!

I believe this catches me up to date, hopefully it won’t be another 6 months before I blog again. But I can’t promise anything. =)

Diesel + Windshield Wipers = HILARIOUS!!

The past couple of days have been super rainy, cloudy, and just yucky. I noticed the other day that Diesel really acts funny when the windshield wipers go on. But didn’t think much of it. Until today when he really got all sorts of worked up over the windshield wipers being on. I had to capture it on video because I thought it was just too funny not to share.

I have totally been slacking the last couple of months on blogging so hopefully soon I will sit down and fill you in on what we have been up too.

MERRY CHRISTMAS… in a couple of days! YAY!

The New Addition…. AKA new ride!

Yes, it has finally happened. After us having one car for the first year of marriage we have made our first  “big'” purchase. It was super nerve racking I must say but now that it is over with not sure what all my stress was about, but I guess that’s part of being a woman.

We bought an 08’ Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4, and we love it. After going through the list of cars we wanted and what we could afford this is what it came down to. My biggest concern was enough space to put at least 2 kids in. No, this is not a pregnancy announcement and you will not see one of those on our blog for at least 2 more years. Glad we settled that! HAHA It has plenty of space to me and of course it has the 4wd, biggest request of Shane’s. I think we will get lots of good use and years out of this sweet Jeep. Where did we buy it you ask? We took the risk and went through the auction. It saved us probably a good $2500 to $3000. Good Deal!! That may have been part of my nerves, not being able to see it and just trusting the guy that it looked in good condition. We are super happy with our purchase and can’t wait to take him camping and on any road trip!

He was injured….injured bad!

I know that most of you blog about your children and what they are up to but since I don’t have any children my dog is as good as it gets story wise. So our sweet little mini dachshund had to go in for surgery last week to have a benign tumor removed from his paw. The poor little guy still days later refuses to put any weight on his paw, but has mastered being a 3 legged dog. Along with having a little surgery he got some weird skin irritation that he can’t seem to stop licking and scratching at. Let’s just say I have given him extra love this week. I am pathetic, he’s a dog I know! haha

Next post will introduce the new addition into our little family… but first I’ve got to get some pictures of him!

The Big ONE!

Happy One Anniversary to us… a couple days late!!! Opps. It has been a wonderful first year of marriage. I can’t believe how incredibly fast it has flown by. But I look forward to many many more with my amazing husband. Here are a few pictures to look back on our wedding day!!

  

Ps. I couldn’t do a wedding post up without a picture of my fabulous cake. I am still obsessed with it to this day!

Camping

A couple of weeks ago Shane and I decided that it was time for a summer camping and fly fishing trip up to Duck Creek. We had received a tent, stove, air mattress, etc. for wedding gifts and have been super excited to use them. Guess it only took 11 months for it to finally happen. We headed up Friday night and came back Sunday afternoon. We took the little wiener man, Diesel, with us and had a blast just the 3 of us. Shane was anxious to get up early  Saturday morning to go out and fish but for me that’s way too early and I slept in. Saturday we just spent the day enjoying the outdoors, hiking around, fishing, and watching Diesel chase chipmunks and butterflies. Overall it was such a nice relaxing weekend and we surely didn’t want to come home.
