This weekend we found out that Kacy was able to get the time off needed for us to go to Phoenix for Thanksgiving to be with his mom's side of the family. The family thought we weren't going to be able to go and when we found out we could, we decided to keep it a secret and surprise everyone (except we told Kyle and Courtney since we knew we'd stay with them). It was a complete success and we really surprised everyone when we showed up this morning! I'll post pictures later.
Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! Today is also Kacy's 25th Birthday and we had fun celebrating it along with the holiday!!
On Tuesday nights at Chick-fil-A they have kids night and a lady does some awesome balloon animals. Kacy brought me home a turkey. =)
Hope you all had a wonderful day! We'll be in Phoenix till Saturday morning and then we'll be driving back since Kacy has to work Saturday. More pictures to come!
We are so glad you guys made it out too! I keep trying to send the pictures from our camera, but the email size is too big. Expect 3 or 4 emails with lots of pictures!
I love suprises. Not only do I love being suprised, I love suprising others! So I pulled off a pretty good early birthday suprise for Kacy. Kacy's birthday is on Thanksgiving this year and I wanted to do something special for him because he's turning 25. I wanted his birthday to be seperate from the holiday so last Thursday I suprised him.
I had the day off with him since I had worked Sunday and he thought we were going to spend the day in Los Angeles. While we were getting ready in the morning, I handed him a birthday card and had written in it that we were going to celebrate his birthday early and that he needed to load his dirtbike and pack some stuff for the night. He said "but I have to work tomorrow." and I said "no you don't" - he looked at me very puzzled but I was sneaky and had arranged it with his boss. His boss had put him on the schedule but knew he wasn't going to be there so it worked out great!
We went camping out in the middle of nowhere (somewhere past Palm Springs) with Kody and Jenny. We all really roughed it - we even slept in the back of his truck! haha. Kody, Jenny and I have had this planned since July! I'm glad we pulled it off and really suprised Kacy. Here's a few pictures...
We set up camp against these rocks. See the huge hole up at the top? Yeah, we climbed up there.
A random truck drove up really fast with no lights on so the guys got prepared to defend us.
Getting ready to go hike around the rocks.
We all shot some guns and had a great time!
We all had lots of fun and Kacy was very suprised about his early birthday celebration! =)
Awww...you are such a good wife! I took Philip camping when he came from from combat skills training....we left early. i couldn't hack it. I could handle overnight though, i'm pretty sure anyway.
How fun! I called Kod on his way down there - I knew you all would have such a good time but he didnt tell me it was a suprise :) I'm sure it beat you taking him to get his nails done like last year... ha ha
a house??? Ok i defintely missed that rumor...are you that close to things?? you gotta keep me in the loop! well i hope things work out to come at somepoint - I hope you guys have so much fun at Thanksgiving...dana and henry were over here today hanging out after lunch we had so much fun he is so sweet!
Today is Sunday - the beginning of a new week. This week will be better than last week because there is no way it could be as crazy and sad as last week. Let me tell you what happend...
Several of you know that my parents have two dogs: Noah and Tucker. During the summer, Noah was diagnosed with a kidney disease. The doctors were able to modify his diet and he did pretty well. Well in the last month or so he's lost quite a bit of weight. The last week and a half he barely ate a thing and threw up quite a bit. Monday night my mom said the vet said there wasn't anything else they could do and he would probably only last a few days. I was at their house and before I left my mom said to say bye to Noah. That was so incredibly difficult and hard to describe. To sum it up, I cried like a baby and Noah was so cute - he licked my face while I hugged him and cried. They put him down on Thursday night. My mom said he went peacfully and Tucker is fine. We think Tucker must of known because he was pretty calm when they got home without Noah. He was 11 years old and a huge part of our family!
Then, Tuesday morning, my grandma Mable was at home and fell. She was dizzym got up and fell on her hip she broke about ten years ago. She didn't break anything but did fracture her pelvis which is very painful but won't need surgery. She was admitted to the hospital for a few days and ended up transferring to the nursing home I work at. She'll probably be there for a few weeks for therapy and then go home. I'm glad she's at my work so I can keep an eye out for her! She's definitely getting royal treatment since everyone knows she's my grandma! Please keep her in your prayers!!
The week before was good though because I found out I got A's on both of my midterms! I was so excited because I've never done that well on tests before!! I registered for my classes for next semester and got the ones I wanted thankfully.
Anyways, that's the craziness in my life! Here's to a better week!!
oh I loved your dogs!!!! I only had a short visit with them, but they protected us when we thought someone was in your house!!! remember that? haha. I am so sorry, I know what it is like to have a dog put to sleep. I have had several that were a part of the family. And I am glad to hear that you grandma is doing good! That is so scary! This week will be a good week! Like you said...what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Love ya
I was with Philip when he had to put down his dog when we went to visit his family last summer. Lady had been a part of Philip's life since he was twelve. It was so sad, it was like she waited for him to come home. That is the only time in my life I've seen Philip cry. It was really hard. :(
aww I remember Noah and Tucker! I can't remember what they looked like though! I know they were big dogs. Do you have pics of them on facebook? So sorry about that! That is so sad.:-( I'm glad he isn't in pain. Poor thing.
Well, thankfully October is almost over! This month has been incredibly hectic and I have been fighting a cold off and on this whole month! I feel like I need to post so here's what's been going on in my crazy life this month. I divided it into two categories since it seems like there has been no in between.
The Bad:
*Broken car - $1100 worth of work....ugh
*No social life, no free time, no hanging out with friends
*Being sick off and on
*2 Midterms
*The hot weather - isn't it fall?? Well it still feels like summer out here!
The Good:
*Got to see my sissy when she came home for fall break
*Sister-in-law, Dana, had her baby: Henry James Wade (I refuse to call him Hank!)
Upcoming Events:
*2 big papers
*Register for spring semester (have to take 3 classes next semester - ugh!)
*Kacy's 25th B-day on Thanksgiving day
*Hopefully going to Phoenix for Thanksgiving (keeping my fingers crossed that Kacy gets the time off since I already the time off) and then I'll be able to meet my new nephew!!
*Christmas will be here before we know it
Here's to hopefully cooler weather, wearing warmer clothing, and more pumpkin spice lattes!!
You gusy will have so much fun in Phoenix!! Hope Kacy has a good b'day too! Henry (I also wont call him Hank) is so cute I cant wait to get to see him soon, Dana hasnt been feeling to great :( Poor thing!
I'm an aunt again!! Dana just had her baby - Henry James Wade. Kacy just called his mom to see how things were going and Dana literally had just had Henry, we even heard him crying in the background!!! =) We knew Dana was going to be induced this morning since she was a week past her due date and were just waiting to hear more. Please keep them in your prayers! We can't wait to see pictures of our new nephew!!
