Today Was The Day!!

Today was definitely a GOOD DAY!! We were finally able to get water hooked up out on the land where we keep our horses. Normally, Brant has to load up some jugs or barrels and we would have to haul water out there everyday. It is not fun at all. I worried all the time that something was going to happen, like smash out the back window to the truck! We have gone through four back windows in our truck in the last year and a half that we have owned it so far, and Yes, the barrels do get tied down. It's pathetic! And expensive to replace I might add.

Here is my love working away!

Brant's dad Billy and grandpa Floyd came out to help him dig trenches and lay down the pipes. Me and Jo Ellen (his grandma) just got to hang out all day and gossip. Thanks everybody for all the help! I am so excited! Never again will I have to haul water. Now all I have to do is just turn on the facet!

Surprise!!

Yesterday I was just hanging out and I realized that I hadn't seen Brant in a while. I started looking around the house and couldn't find him. I walked outside and to my surprise, this is what I found....

I was so dang excited to see my Hubby hard at work. It made my whole day!! :) Especially since I didn't even have to ask him to wash the truck! I know this is totally the lamest thing ever, but when it will make your wife happy....what can I say?

Come to find out...for one reason or another there was a whole mayonnaise container out in the middle of the road next to our truck. Someone had ran it over and it seriously exploded all over the truck! So my loving husband cleaned it all off in the 100 degree weather just so I wouldn't have to deal with it....what a Great guy! I love good surprises!!...who doesn't!?

I Finally Made It!

Well I did it! I am proud to say that all that studying and hard work paid off. I have absolutely no idea how I made it through, but some how I did. School is over and I am so excited for these next few weeks of summer I have left, before I'm back at it again.

I passed all of my classes, even chemistry online!! I cant believe I managed to get a B in that one. I got straight A's in the rest. I am so proud of myself, I worked hard for it!! :)

4th of July

This past weekend for the 4th of July, Brant and I went camping with my family. It was a lot of fun having everyone together, which doesn't seem to happen very often. It rained most of everyday that we were there. So there was plenty of mud and frizzy hair to go around!

We laughed and played the whole time that we were up there. I got the new nickname "Evil Knievel" after I ramped my bike with the boys. Haha..it was fun, I even surprised myself a little bit. Who knew I had it in me? "Grace" was another nickname I got this weekend. I don't know what my deal was. I tipped my chair over, spilled soda down my back and rolled down the hill! I could feel it happening but for the life of me I couldn't stop myself from falling. Yeah....that was pretty much the joke of the weekend. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes!! Hahaha.....

This year Mindy brought a pinata and almost everyone got to take a few swings at it. I don't think that I have ever laughed that hard in my entire life. It was probably one of my favorite moments of the whole trip. I couldn't believe it when my mom actually got up to do it. I was so surprised!! Then before I knew it, it was back to the real world and loads of homework. It was good to have a few days off to spend time with Brant. I don't get to see him much anymore with everything I have going on. In a few more weeks it will be nice to get back on the same schedule again and actually feel like I have a life.

All in all it was a fun weekend. I'm glad that everyone was able to make the long trip. Hopefully it wont be too long before we can all get together again!

Here is a few pictures of the trip.

So Frazzled

I have been SO BUSY with work, school, and homework that I can't even think straight! I haven't felt this FRAZZLED in so long! It has become very common for me to be getting home from doing homework at my mom's house around the time Brant is getting up to get ready for work! Our schedules have been so opposite lately, it is crazy.

Brant has been so helpful lately, it has been so great!! I think he is just trying to help out more than usual to take some of the extra stress off of me with everything I have going on. It has been so nice, I have such a great husband! He is so thoughtful and caring. Poor guy, I can't wait until things start slowing down and I can actually spend time with my husband. Life is crazy right now but eventually everything will start paying off.

Back To School

I have now decided that I want to become a Registered Nurse. For those of you who know me, I am sure you are all thinking "She is CRAZY, how the heck is she going to manage that!?" Well believe me, I have already thought the same thing. But after long talks with my Hubby and A LOT of thinking I have finally decided to go back to school.

I officially started my classes this past week. Sometimes I wonder if I am getting in way over my head!! I feel like I'm too old to be a college student again. But if my Mom can do it...I guess I can too! My Mom has recently decided to go back to school and I think that is such a neat thing. She works as a Medical Assistant and she has finally decided to go back to school to get her RN. Not before a lot of persuading of course! I am so proud of her!! She is such a good example for me. We are taking a few classes together and I think it's going to be kind of fun. I probably wont admit that too much, you know me.! Haha. Well everyone wish me luck!
