The Good, The Bad, and...The UGLY!

-
Well, I can say I survived the weekend!

The Good!


Nathan took me up in the air. I will admit I was a bit freaked out and after 5 minutes in the traffic pattern I was ready to be done for that time. I felt bad but yeah...I am toying with the idea of us taking Natali up for her birthday. I will be freaked out but she really wants to go...so we shall see...I would of course have to go too because she might freak out and someone besides Nathan will need to keep her calm if that happens.

Also the good! We spent time as a family on Saturday and it was nice. We went to Nathan's office for a bit and the kids played on the swivel chair. Oh..the simple joys...


We also went out and the kids road their bikes it was a beautiful day!



The BAD!

Now granted this picture is of Noah riding his bike but his sunshine expression reminded me of the horror when I smashed his finger in the car door. It was fine and all but after the ugly incident you are about to read it was not a good Friday!

AND.....
THE UGLY!!!
I beg you not to make fun of me, I am humiliated, embarrassed beyond belief and why am I blogging about it? Because someone is bound to notice and ask and so for the sake of everyone...here is my new most embarrassing moment...
I hit a parked truck! No one was hurt, no one was in the truck. But on my defense he was parked partially in front of my driveway. Now, for the record I realize and accept all responsibility for hitting his truck regardless because frankly the accident could have been avoided if I hadn't have been such a space cadet and let my children distract me from my driving.


here is his truck...as you can see his damage was minimal compared to mine

A view of where he was when I hit him.

The owie on my car... plus two scratches on the bumper. But to finish the story. I got the kids in the car and noticed he was parked in front of the driveway a bit. I took note in my head that I needed to swing wide to the right so I could get around him. But I am a creature of habit and thus continued straight down the driveway like I usually do, looking over my right shoulder thus not seeing the truck as he was on my left. Natali asked me a question as I turned the other way I remembered he was there and I slammed on my breaks but to no avail I still hit him. Sigh...

Yes, he was parked illegally, granted I could fight it....but in reality I did hit him and not vice a versa. If Southwest Gas (sorry failed to mention it was a Southwest Gas truck the guy was next door hooking up the gas for the new tenants) was to come back and try to get my insurance to pay though I would fight that as he was at fault too for parking there. He knows that though and was a good guy and said that Southwest will document it but most likely because he was also in the wrong would do nothing about it. So hopefully we are just in it for fixing our own cars. Nevertheless it stinks that I hit him in the first place.

Okay...the end!

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
