What's happened recently...

Well I have be MIA in the blogging world for well a month Update...Advantix the bug sprayer company is awesome.. I saw one tiny very tiny spider the other day, other than that it's all I have seen, and I am impressed I think we will keep them around. Vanessa and Gordo (my Brother-in-law) finally tied the knot... It was a beautiful day, I cried, Vanessa was a gorgeous bride and I am so happy to have her as a sister-in-law. It's crazy to think that we are family now. We went to school together, cheered together, I have lived with her since December 2003, minus 3 months in 2004, and now she's a married woman and I couldn't be happier. Ya know...I use to think I was picture crazy, any time we had anywhere to go, whether it were down town, or anything, I was always the one to have my camera...lately I have been SLACKING. OH I had my camera at the wedding...and the battery was there too just not together together I should say. Manuel had the battery in his suite pocket...my camera you ask..in the car. argghhh! SO I have only one picture of the entire day at the moment..I am sure we will be getting some from Hector (the photographer) soon. So I guess enjoy this picture and I will post more when we get more.

L To R: Eric, Erica, Chelsea, Manuel

Some good news...I am happy to announce that Manuel will have weekends off. It's a funny thing on Tuesday night I told him I wish that he worked the same days as his brothers just because they work opposite days than Manuel and it's always so hard to get together with them. Well Wednesday morning, Manuel called and told me that some one came and asked for a volunteer to switch to A/B shift (Sun, Mon, Tues, and every other Wed). He currently works C/D shift (every other Wed, Thurs, Fri, and Sat), so after much consideration...more on his part than mine, I am all for it, he has volunteered to go. I did however has a mishap in forgetting about Paintball for a moment when he told me about the switch...I hope his team is willing to work with him on this and maybe hold practices on Saturdays now b/c starting in Sept. he wont be able to make it on Sundays. So I guess sometimes little silent wishes do come true

Finally a graduate...but back in the fall

I don't know if I like the idea of going back to school, I have been enjoying my summer all too well and have forgotten what it's like being a student...then I remembered I kept telling myself that even before school got out for the summer I was going to study my Heine' off to take my test as soon as I received my diploma...well I finally received my diploma, it was a week late, but I only would have cared that it was a week late if I had actually studied for my test and was ready, but to my dismay I have studied but only for like 4 hours...I think I have 3 chapters in my book completed and I have like 14 to go or something like that...the book is currently in my car...a good place. I guess this week while the family I nanny for is on vacation guess who gets to study their heart out because If I don't take it with in the next month....or I guess school starts in 3 weeks I think it may be a bit difficult to study for my major test and do all the other tedious assignments assigned once school starts...I don't know if I am good at juggling that kind of material all at once and plus just because this test I take gives me the credentials...and costs around $300 I better study and pass it all in one time..I guess I should get started..

Out with the old..in this new DRESSER

So after living out of the 3 drawer, clear containers all my married life, we decided, (well I actually decided) it was time for a dresser. I am so glad we purchased this one. After much consideration and to our dear friend Franky, we scored awesome on this deal. At first I was going to settle with one from Target, it was around $250, 6 drawers. Franky works for Macy's downtown, and he mentioned to us that there were some dressers that were on clearance, we went and looked but to my dismay, I didn't like the colors, I like the dark Mahogany colors and they didn't have exactly what I wanted on display and I wasn't going to purchase one that I didn't like even if the price was right because all that would happen is I would probably use it for a while then decide I really don't like it then spend more money on the one I want. So Franky disappeared for a while and then came back and told me he found one that he thinks I am going to like....Ta...dah....he is so awesome, I looked at it, looked at the price....and then decided yes. It was originally $1500, and the mirror that goes along with it was $500, but with Franky's employee discount (THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH) our purchase came to $424. We paid him in advance and then he made the purchase, otherwise we would have spent 2000 and I wasn't willing...I love it though. It has 9 drawers and I also got rid of a lot of stuff when I putting our stuff away, other wise it wouldn't have all fit..so good thing I didn't try to go for a 6 drawer dresser or else we would have been in out of space.

PS...sorry I really don't like pictures when there is a mirror involved and you see the photographer...like myself in the mirror taking the pictures...but I couldn't take it without the mirror in the picture, so I guess we will just deal with it. Also as you can see in the mirror right behind me are the containers that have been housing our clothes that didn't belong in the closet.

MR.ADVANTIX PEST CONTROL SELLER

THANK YOU and a million more...I HOPE IT WORKS. SO yesterday after we got home from Camping, my nap was interrupted by the doorbell. SO come to find out that it was pest control...well last time someone came to my door, they were selling meat and lets just say I let them in, let them do the spill, then I let them go, telling them to come back later for the husband. Well I made sure we were gone, I just can't say no thanks! so yesterday as he said he was with Advantix, I knew I needed to just say "we aren't interested right now" wait...I did say that...then I let him talk to Manuel. I knew I wanted the house sprayed but didn't really know how good this was and if it was worth it. Well some chattin and a few 45 minutes later and 4 more seasons of pest control to go....My house is sprayed...it will only be in a matter of time the disgusting little things will be gone....mostly. I can already see a creepy pile of dead ants over by the garage door and it makes me smile. I do not know how on this planet, when I was little kid, I could play with spiders, carry mice in my pocket, ONLY to SCARE MY MOM ( LOVE YOU MOM) and worms and lady bugs and Rollie Pollies....SSSiiiickkkkkk. But thanks BABE and PEST CONTROL SELLER.

One YEAR STRONGER....Forever more to go <3

We celebrated our anniversary on Monday. Crazy to think that it has already been a year. Went by so quickly, but I guess the saying is right, "Time Flies, when you are havin fun". That's what we do and that's how we roll. Manuel is always so active he keeps me pretty busy. Laughing at his funny jokes, stories he tells and the memories we share. I love this guy and I am glad that I chose to be with him for the rest of my life :) Let me tell ya, I definitely agree with whoever told me marriage isn't a cakewalk, it has been difficult at times but we have gotten thru the mud and let me tell ya, I have learned a lot from him and how stubborn I have been, but in the end we always still and forever will love each other. Now this may come as a shocker to everyone but I wanted to go camping...don’t ask me where it came from because if you know me, well not having a bed and running water isn't exactly what I call FUN. But I really wanted to go and what better time than for our anniversary to go camping. I waited for him Sunday to get done paintballing then we headed out, I was so excited I got everything put together. I wanted to take the four-wheeler but our ramps are not at our house and well lifting the thing into the back of the truck was out of the question but I chuckled as he tried (Love ya babe) We went up towards Idaho City, some guys told us to go to Robie Creek but I felt like we would have been camping in someone’s back yard or that some strange thing might eat us alive, so we turned out of there and went more towards Idaho City, about 17 miles before we saw a couple campers and thought we would give this road a try, LUCKY US, we landed a sweet site for the night right by the water :) We set the tent up, got the fire going *and let me add...the fire this guy can make is pretty amazing*, played a few rounds of Phase 10 and then something hit me and I was ready to go home, I was dealing okay with the little bugs but when a big bug hit me, I decided I like camping until the bugs come out...gross....but I managed thru the night. Manuel was laughing because well let me tell you some interesting yet random facts of myself...I don’t like sunscreen unless it's coconut scented...and I still hate the feel of it on my skin, and I for a FACT hate the smell and feel of insect repellent on my skin...so imagine me getting sprayed...what little I even spray on...but as the husband said to me...it's either this or West Nile...okay so I let him spray a little more but I still was...I don’t know what word to use but it's disgusting. So We cooked ourselves up some mighty fine camping food....Foil Dinners. We love them :) then we had some delicious s’mores, after...I mean way after dinner was over and we were thinking to ourselves how are we going to roast the marshmallows? we don’t have any twigs, I don’t think the tree branches with green/yellowish stuff would have settled very well in our stomach and well...I wouldn't have done that anyway...ahh...we brought a knife for protection, lets use that...oh the s’mores were ohhhh so delicious and well worth the thinking and wait :) Monday we woke up, ate some cinnamon twists that I made and some yogurt then packed up and decided we would drive more down the road to see what it was all about, well come to find out we found some awesome camping sites. One that I like to call "Creek side property" it was perfect, so next time we go, I would like to go there then I can let my feel play in the water and not worry what bugs might be crawling out of the bushes next to me. You see that's how our original camp site was; it was this little tiny area you could walk thru to get to the water but to close to the bushes for me. We also found a beach area that when MOM and DAD come up to Boise with the BOAT,and the rest of the gang, they have a boat dock and a beach sandy area that would work great, a blocked off shallow area and its more secluded but I also saw more private boat docks that would work too, I just love the sand on my feet :). We made it home safe and sound...nothing happened to us camping...which we were a little worried camping alone but we survived and will hopefully do it again. We went to the movie later in the day GET SMART....love the movie..Steve is just a funny man. We then finished the night off by going to dinner at the ICHIBAN.. YUMMY!!!! I LOVE BEING MARRIED, I LOVE BEING A WIFE AND MOST OF ALL I LOVE JOSE MANUEL, CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT FOREVER WITH YOU!!!! I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK MANUEL
