What a weekend

So Gr had his procedure done on Friday morning. I sadly went to work, but his mom and dad were here to help him out and take care of him. He had some pain Friday and I think it was from the muscle spasms he had as well as when the broke up stones would move. But Saturday morning he was feeling much better and they told him to walk as much as possible so me and Ruth took him shopping. The only time GR gets into buying things for his house is when his mom comes down :) so off to Lowes we went. He bought some granite tile for the backsplashes in his bathrooms, a fan, and some paint for the fireplace. Which I must say was the original color I told him to choose. So yesterday he let me pick out a color and Ruth picked out a color. And guess what....he liked my color! I told him he should listen to me more often...maybe the fireplace would have been painted months ago when we started this color search! Then we went to Target and out to lunch at BJ's. By the time we were done he was exhausted. Now today its off to go find some work pants, work on a project, and baking a cheese cake for GR. Hope he likes it!
While GR slept yesterday after the shopping extravaganza, me and Chris went to the pumpkin patch and picked out some pumpkins to carve last night. Here are the results:

reasons to move home

Every single time I go home it makes me want to move home more and more. I really miss my family and the good times I have with them. I went up north this weekend cuz my dad turned 50 on the 13th. We did a dinner and watched the asu game. Thankfully we won only to due with the miracle pass by sullivan....even he couldnt believe he was capable of such a pass. Then Sunday we went to Brandon and Amy's and watched the Cardinals...who won also!! Go AZ football! Anyhow here are some pics from this weekend....

Life

Man have things been weird lately. I got really sick and had to take a leave for about a week from work. It started on Sunday and was bad enough that G.R. was scared and wanted to take me to ER but I didnt have enough energy to go. So I went to the doctor who immediately tested me for everything including mono and swine flu. long story short, they never really found out what was wrong with me. But I feel better now and hopefully it stays that way!

Gr spent a day cleaning out the garage and working on his uncle Rogers bike for a race they are doing next weekend. Well after biking with dolce and bugging Gr to death about what he was doing we found the nieces and nephews life jackets from the jet skis......well my bright self decided it was the perfect size for dolce! since she gets swept away by currents cuz she goes bird crazy i really think we should invest and buy her one!

I found out today that someone has taken my debit card number and overdrafted my account by buying a bunch of food! haha they charged it to many food places and so now I get to fight with my bank to try to get my money back and reverse my fees.

With all the stress of work and everything going on, I decided I needed a project to keep my attention and get my mind off things. So at work we are doing a secret santa type thing where we get a person and every week we bring them a little gift to cheer them up or to say have a good day. Well just so happens I got a good friend of mine and decided since she just bought a new home I'd make her a little house warming gift. So this was the finished project and it was actually really fun to make! Gr helped me cut out the wood and taught me to router the edges and make the knots in the wood. He said he was proud that after he showed me once I did everything myself instead of having him do it :0)

GR left for the boys annual hunting trip this morning and so I am headed up to show low for the weekend. My dad turned the big 50 on tuesday so im going to go visit him and see the family. I love going home especially right now when the weather is getting warm and you can wear sweaters! anyhow this is how me and dolce spent our evening together watching greys anatomy and private practice. Yep she gets spoiled when he leaves and hangs out on the bed with me :) I get lonely and need someone to cuddle with!
