Family pictures

So ive been bugging caleb how ive been wanting to get some more pics done of us and of coarse he says "we just got them done..." yeah like a year ago...and its crazy to see how much you change in just a year! and so he said he will do pictures as long as i take him to the new superman movie.....ugh.......but we shook on it...fair deal i suppose. So, as ghetto as all this sounds, i pinned up a black sheet, moved a shelf for a tripod because i dont have one and took pictures in our living room. ha im obsessed with pictures and also editing them. So anyways, here are most of them :)

looove my little family! :) and so happy Libbie actually looked at the camera! That's a first!

Health problems and venting

FYI this post is mainly me venting and also a bit personal....yet again. feel free to read and if you can help me out id appreciate it! So like i said in my last post, i have endometriosis. If you want to know what it is, google it. and after i found out its got me a little scared. even though its nothing huge to some people, to me i feel like it is. I wish i knew somebody closeish to me that had it so i could talk to them about it and share stories. Its one of the top 3 reasons why women are infertile. You know the question you get asked, "whats your biggest fear?" i always told people snakes but deep down it was ALWAYS not being able to conceive a baby. and now my worst fear may end up true. I dont know cause we arent at the point in our lives to start a family quite yet. although now that i have this, im wondering if waiting to start a family will decrease my chance of getting pregnant. and pregnancy could help with the pain that comes with endometriosis. Its hard knowing that maybe the pain could for a while stop if you get pregnant, but its so hard knowing that me and caleb arent quite on the same page with it. The pain that i deal with month to month is excrutiating at times and feeling like your overdosing on pain meds, heat pads, and sleep just isnt cutting it. Its hard when i have to lie to people to get out of things when really its just my health. Ive had to make up excuses to miss work, school, activities, and stuff even on a daily basis because of this and i wish it were to go away. Its hard to deal with this plus my IBS because that alone is a nightmare at times. Knowing that surgery is coming up once the insurance kicks in scares me but also gives me hope. but mainly scares me. If someone reads this who is also suffering from endometriosis, id love to talk :) so for now, i will try to stay positive. no matter what, god has a plan for each one of us weather its the plan i had in my head or not. and honestly, im grateful i now have answers so that i dont just sound like im complaining all of the time. Send happy vibes my way. i need it! i promise my next post will be a happy one. :)

Fathers Day

Happy Fathers day to all you amazing dads out there! ill keep this post short, simple, and sweet. I love my dad so much. im grateful to be his daughter and to have been raised by him. He taught me so well. Me and my dad have some awesome memories that continue to grow. i look up to him in more ways then he'll know.  love my dadios!! and even though we dont have kids, we have a dog. and caleb is the best father to her. it proves to me that if he treats our dog as good as he does, i just know that he will be the BEST dad out there to our kids someday. I love you guys both so much! Thinking of all the great dads and grandpas out there. so glad we have day to recognize you great guys!

gone ridin!

So on my days off, i usually end up riding out with caleb to his work while i end up at my parents house. and its basically my mom, and my two sibs at home where dads working. so me and my bud lane usually find ourselves riding dirtbikes most every time im out there. and its seriously so much fun to me! its a stress reliever for sure. So this last monday, me and Lane rode our bikes on the back roads to cress creek. and it was gorgeous riding through the green fields with the sprinklers going on a hot day. once we got to cress creek it was so hot that we hiked down to the river so we could cool down a bit. such a fun lil trip!

And these last two pics were from another day riding. Every time i go to my parents, we really do end up riding bikes. and im completely ok with it!

Then last saturday was my sister in laws baby shower. i unfortunately had to go back to work and leave the party a bit early but i was glad i could make what i did. Andrea will make the best lil mommy. so happy and excited for them!!

me, my mom, and my sister made this cute fruit baby. so fun!

As for other news, Caleb got a promotion at Big Juds. He is now the new manager! That being done, many changes have started and for the better. Hopefully with a little time, he can get the place cleaned up and working smoothly. so proud of him!

I went to the doctor today and the doc said shes pretty sure i have endometriosis. Not fun. Not 100% confirmed but she is 99% sure. the only way to confirm it is through surgery. as soon as my insurance kicks in in Dec thats a very possible thing we may have coming up. until then, hopefully pain meds will do! worst fear-not being able to conceive seeing that its high in infertility. im way to young to be dealing with health problems. haha so im hoping and praying for the best!

Other than that, things are good! we're both still working, loving this summer weather, and of coarse still livin on love! <3

Head over heels

So lately, i have felt so much love for my husband Caleb. And i fall more in love with him every single day. Who knew i could love someone so much more after the day we got married. But its true. My love for him just keeps growing. He makes me proud and im so proud to call him my husband. I feel lately that if im not sitting next to him or he isnt with me for even an hour, im finding myself missing him. And as silly as this sounds, i get teary eyed just thinkin bout how much i love the guy. Im grateful for my marriage and i thank god everyday for blessing me with such an amazing person that i get to spend eternity with. It's true, im still completely and utterly head over heels for Caleb. <3

Memorial day weekend and a much needed update.

I have officially slacked at blogging. So much i dont even know where to begin. Lets start WAAY back.

I have been able to babysit my nephew Lincoln for a while and i cant describe to you how stinkin cute he is. want him!!

Next on the list is my new job. So far its been going ok. its been hard to start something so big and new to me. But i have already learned a lot and i have to work so i might as well make the very best of it. I am now an officail nail tech there as well which im stoked about. i love doing nails. And today i had to go to gugleman photography to get a head shot done so that i can officially be on their website. so soon i will be on tamissalon.com. Makes me feel like a big girl. haha and because i get awesome deals on color and such i went back to blonde and im loving it! im so not a fan of my natural hair color. And because this new job is quite a bit for me, im in the process of quitting Big juds. probably forever. Bitter sweet seeing half my family works there. litterally. haha

i dunno why this pic looks stretched?? whatever.

Siyanara big juds!

Helloooo Tami's!

And now onto memorial day weekend. My whole family got to go up to what we call "The Pine Tree House" to camp for the whole weekend. long story short, its my grandpas first house which is now just an oooollldd cabin full of mice and an old stove, a springy bed and an outhouse with no door due to a bear ripping it off. My family is so outdoorsy and i absolutely LOVE it. So we spent the weekend camping, riding fourwheelers and dirtbikes, attempting to feed/catch fish, built a new bridge, gun shooting, campfire, tire swing, eating camp food, telling stories, laughing, and loving life. SO SO SO much fun. seriously.

Off riding! Dad and Kristie, Me and Caleb, then Shandell and Ethan, then Lane, then Tyson

there were rockchucks living under the porch and every once and a while they would come up and say hi

After our LONG day of riding. we were covered in dust from head to toe. unfortunately no one had a camera on our ride and there was some awesome places with AMAZING views from them. we were riding through intense rocks, little rivers, moving fallen trees from trails, riding through 2 feet of snow even. it was seriously awesome.

again, SO dusty. almost cant open my eyes from the dust.

buildin the new bridge.

Enjoying eachothers company

this was once our swing a long time ago. Me and shandell used to sit on the arms of it and play carasoul. hahaha anyways that was our memorial day weekend. SO so so sooooo much fun!

Then there's the zoo. I went to a friend house to pick up her kids, drive to idaho falls to meet my sister and headed to the zoo. These kids are so cute and make me that much more excited for my own someday.

Annnnd now onto Sunday funday. I try to go out on Sunday to say hi to my family and for sunday dinner. its always been a favorite of mine. and where the weather has been so nice we've spent much more time outside wether its eating dinner and simply sitting. Last sunday once i got out to my parents house my dad was on craigslist lookin at a dirtbike. then he's callin the lady about it and once he gets off the phone he tells my mom he's gonna go look at this bike. so he, ethan and lane leave and a little while later they come home with his new bike that he bought. ha pretty sure hes going through a midlife crisis. so funny!

Sorry for such a long post! its kinda hard to gather up all the pics from others cameras. and to be honest i dont even feel bad for the picture overload. Pics to me say a thousand words. and i LOVE pictures. So grateful for the amazing family i have and for the opporunities we get. I love the land we live on to do such fun things with the family.
