Crazy Month

I have been slacking on my posts because it has been a wild and crazy month. A few weeks ago I made a trip to Idaho to see my friend Melanie while she and her family were on spring break. While I was there my sister Mollie and I decided to go for lunch and hair cuts. I decided that it was time for a change so I chopped most of my hair off. I love my new hair cut and I love having low maintenance short hair. I am going to get it trimmed up though because I want the back to be a little shorter. I had a good time with friends and family on the trip and even managed to be on good roads for the trip.

Last month my sister Shanon decided to get married. So Jeremy and I attended that at the courthouse.

In the last week my Grandpa Wilmot passed away and we had to go to Idaho for the funeral. We also lost one of our clients that Jeremy and I were both close to so it has been a difficult week for us. The funeral was nice, and it was great to see family that I don't get to see very often. Aunt Debbie and Uncle LaVar came from Washington which was nice because I haven't seen them in about 10 years. I also got to see some cousins that live quite a ways a way. And it was nice to take a trip even though it was really rushed and obviously not under the best cercumstances.

So overall we have had a real long tough month but I am hoping for April to be nice and boring.

Working on making a beautiful kitchen

For anyone who has not been to our house I will quickly explain our kitchen. Jeremy built a wall between the kitchen and the living room before I ever met him. The living room side looks really nice. Up until a week ago though the kitchen side of the wall was still drywall, mud and tape. vvvv( this was from the assistance of our beagle Copper) Anyway back to the kitchen I did not love the drywall. So the other day, needing to work out some frustration, I sanded and primed the wall. I am quite proud of myself because I have never done anything like that before and it looked pretty darn good. So the next step was texture which I also did with the assistance of Jeremy to hold up plastic to protect the living room. I used texture from a can which I very much recommend, it was easy and it looks soooo good. Anyway now that I had initiated the finishing of the kitchen I got Jeremy to join in with me. We went to the hardware store, picked out paint, looked at new baseboard (because half the kitchen doesn't have any) and talked about re staining the cupboards. So on Tuesday when Jeremy had the night off we tackled half of our kitchen. And I think it looks beautiful. We will be tackling the next half this coming Tuesday. When that is accomplished then all we will have left to do is the trim and someday in the future re staining/painting the cupboards.

In other news on Wednesday we bowl on a league. I'm not a great bowler by any means but we have a good time and I am improving. The last game of the week this week I managed to just be on fire and I bowled a 154 which is 64 points over average for me. I was pretty darn proud of myself. Well, I think that is about all the excitement we had this past week.

Just another week

Well, this week was nothing huge but still more exciting then a normal week at our house. On wednesday I went on a trip for work. We (my friend/coworker Jennifer and I) were going to Laramie but when we got to Rawlins the roads were closed and we ended up turing around and coming back. So then on Friday we tried again and this time we were successful at making it all the way. So after we did what we needed to for work we went to Chili's which I absolutely love and had an awsome lunch. The down side of all of this fun was not being able to see Jeremy. And then next week I am headed on a 3 day trip and will miss 1 of Jeremy's days off so that will be no fun. But next weeks trip is to Sheridan and that will be cool cuz I have never been there. As far as Jeremy I'm pretty sure he has had a fairly regular week but like I said we haven't seen much of each other. He has been working a lot of overtime lately so putting that and my out of town trips together it is more like I have a roommate then a husband. But as everyone keeps telling me this too shall pass.
Well now that I have chronicaled our totally boring lives I will be done. And maybe someday soon we can have something exciting to say.

I have come to realize that nothing ever really changes here. So I have no idea what I will post about but Sara Kay told me that blogs are only fun to read if they are regularly up dated so I am updating. My sister recently moved in with us...about two weeks ago. A word of advice to anybody wondering....newly wed's should NOT take on a roommate. It is awkward to say the least. But it has been nice to see her every now and then although she is never home so the seeing is few and far between.
Well, since I have nothing interesting to say I should probably quit boring you and go make some supper.

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Ok, so I'm a little late on the new years wish but 4 days isn't bad for a life time procrastinator. As the new year begins things are pretty much staying the course here at the Hill house. Jeremy is taking on some new responsibilities at work but more or less nothing is really changing. My job is just same old same old. Still working hard with people who don't even know they are getting therapy....ah what a rewarding job. LOL
We were able to go see my family in Idaho for New Years Eve. Thankfully the roads were clear and dry and we had a really good trip. We were spoiled by "Santa" and came home with quite a few fun things including some new Wii games and a deep fryer. We made it back to Evanston in time to celebrate "Times Square at Depot Square". Its a fun little town tradition where we have our own ball and fireworks show down in the center of town. We went last year and it was one of our first romantic dates so we now want to make a tradition of going as long as we live here in town. It was freezing outside, but totally worth it for the New Year mid night kiss.

Yay the first post in our new blog

After reading all my friends blogs and seeing the updates about their families I decided that it would be fun for Jeremy and I to have a blog. There really isn't much for me to say right now. We just finished having a great Christmas together. Even though we didn't make it to see family because of the snow we had a lot of fun just haning out together.

We went and got our own Christmas tree this year and so we were able to just sit here on Christmas Eve and admire our wonderful tree. I realize this is a bit on the rambly side but I promise no all the posts will be this way.
