My Family.

I am very grateful for my family. They have supported me through everything and have always given me everything that I've needed. I wouldn't trade my family for anything. My dad's name is Steven and he was in the US Army for 21 years and I am so grateful to have such a strong willed dad. My mom's name is Lori and she had a few side jobs here and there but mainly she was a stay at home mom. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. She was always there for me when I was sick, when I got home from school and always had an amazing meal on the table after a long day! I have three older sisters: Nikki, Lacey and Ali. Nikki and Lacey currently live in North Dakota and Ali lives in Texas. I am so blessed with such a great family, I wouldn't have it any other way!!

Luke Bryan Concert!!!!!:)))

This weekend my boyfriend, my friends Amber, Luke, Laura and Krista and I are all going to a Luke Bryan concert at the Excel Energy Center! I am so excited because not only are we going to the concert we also get a limo ride and all the insights of where he is going to be and what bars he is going to be at! This will actually be the first time my friend Laura has been out since she had her son Connor about a month ago and she is one of my best friends. I am so excited because he is one of my favorite country singers and I know we will all have a great and amazing time!

Leaving for the cities

This weekend is going to be a relaxing weekend for me because I am going to the Cities. I like to go to the Cities because I love visiting my boyfriends family. They are all so laid back and they understand the meaning of relaxing. I am also helping out with my boyfriend's cousins baby shower. I think this will be fun because I really like to help people out and baby showers are fun anyways! I am feeling a lot better and am pretty much recovered from the flu. That was not fun at all! I also plan on getting a pedicure with my boyfriends sister. I like spending time with her because she is fun and she knows how to have fun. She is very outgoing and funny! Overall, I am excited for this weekend because it is well needed:)

Hate the flu:(

Yesterday I got home from work and I just didn't feel like my normal self. I had the chills and I just felt out of my body. Well I tried to eat my dinner and that all came up. After that I knew I had the stomach flu. I haven't had the flu in a long time. I can't even remember when I was this sick. It really sucks! I have been resting and thank goodness I didn't have to work today because I was off. I am also taking tomorrow off for another day to rest and get better. I feel that is best because I do work with kids and I want to make sure I am 100% better before I go back to work!

My Pets!

Ever since I've grown up I've had animals. I never really knew how much they make a family and how much I could love my animals. Ever since we got our dog Ginger I've loved her. She attached to me really quick because I allowed her to sleep with me in my bed every night. Well 9 years later she is still sleeping with me every night in my bed. Since we got Ginger we got 3 other pets as well. We have a cat who is named Sonar but we call him Mr. Kitty because he is deaf and can't hear his name anyways. We adopted him from the local humane society because I felt no one would have adopted him because he was deaf. We then have Champ who is a lab/golden retriever mix. He is a service dog for my dad because my dad was injured when he was deployed. We then have a Chihuahua her name is Gracie. She was brought to us from Texas by my sister who is a vet tech at a vet clinic down there. Gracie is a lucky girl because she was thrown out of a moving car on the highway and was brought into my sister at the clinic. My sister then treated her wounds and called my mom and my mom immediately wanted her. My sister was coming to visit a week later anyways so my sister and Gracie flew to Minnesota together. I could not be more grateful for my best friends. They always listen to me, know when I'm sick and sad. They are always there when I want/need a cuddle or just when I need someone to talk to. (Even though they don't respond back) I love all them with my whole heart and they make my family who they are today!

Meeting Connor Marc Thode

I finally met my best friend's baby this weekend. I didn't remember how small babies were and how cute and cuddly they are! I fell in love the first time I saw him and thought he was the cutest thing in the whole wide world! It was a great weekend and I had a great time seeing my friend. She is going to be a great mom! I attended his first newborn pictures and they turned out great! I am so excited to see him again and I can't wait to see what he is like when she is older:)
