Catch Up!

So I have been a little slow on updating this blog lately, bad girl! I'll try and hit the high points!

So the weekend before last was pretty fun. Saturday was a little boring, mostly was at my dads shop all day putting up two new car lifts. Yeah. But Sunday a group of us went out and did some four wheeling/off roading at wilborns (the place about 2 mins down the road from our house)

So long story short, we got stuck in some major mud puddles, but got out, haha. And had a lot of fun doing it! Heres a vid after it was stuck and our friend pulling it out. Thats Lee and the sis in law in the back.



Great, huh?? LOL, I was glad I got out before they went through it! The water was like 2 inches high in the floor board Jamie said, lol. Here's a few pics:






So this past week went really fast for me for some reason. I love when Friday gets there and you barely realize it! I've been trying to be a better wife to Lee lately and so far its really working out. I've gotten in a bad habit of criticizing everything he does basically. And getting mad about the littlest stuff. He doesn't deserve that. Now I've been trying to just love and support him, no matter what, and miraculously things just fall together. I know thats the way I should be all the time, its just hard sometimes! We had a great weekend together though.

Jamie stayed with us Sat and Sun night. My brother has gone off on a trip for a week to Stark ? FL to study lightening. So she hates staying at her house by herself and usually stays with Lee and I and my mom and dad throughout. And a few nights by herself, lol, sometimes. She brings Sophie (her boxer) with her to our house, and her and Bowser have fun playing. She is a little annoying though, lol. A bit large for our house! And her manners are not the best, but she is not a beast either.

Friday night we went to the new Academy Sports & Outdoors in Decatur. That was fun. Lee found some sketchers he liked there that were on sale, and I found some pink ear muffs for shooting guns to wear, they work GREAT.

We went to the flea market in Lacon Saturday morning. Lee found a leather wallet, but that was about it. They had some super cute husky puppies there, only $125.

We also got a shotgun from Lee's boss to try for me that afternoon. He bought it for his daughter a while ago and she shot it like once and then decided she didn't like it, lol. Its a youth .20 gauge pump. What I thought I wanted! Well I shot about 25-30 shells through it and decided yesterday evening I'm not a big fan. I think it is too short for me. I picked up Lees huge pump and shot it 3 times in a row and got all three skeets I was shooting at. It felt better too. I have a nice, UGLY bruise on my arm right now from the smaller one. It was also smacking me in the cheek. So I guess we'll keep looking. Lee thinks his size is too big, and the youth is too small, so what the heck do I need??? Sigh. I'm wanting to get one for dove season, opening day is the first Sat in September. We're going to have a little shindig, invite my dad and grandpa out, the bro, and do a shoot and maybe eat or something.

So we grilled ribs Sat night and watched a movie. Then off to church Sunday! That afternoon we couldn't come up with a thing to do, so just headed back to our house after small groups. We layed around being lazy most of the afternoon and then all of a sudden my mom and dad showed up! They haven't been to my house in like a year, lol. (they live about 30 mins away on the other side of the county)
They were out driving and ended up near our road so came to visit. We just sat and talked for awhile and then they left. I made some chili and corn bread and we watched Far And Away (one of my faves!) and then off to bed! Although Lee and I did't get to sleep actually until 12:30, but we won't go there, hahaha.

Yesterday I worked at Dads, and then went over to the in laws afterwards. His mom is feeling really bad right now, somehow she tore a muscle in her shoulder, got to have surgery on it. She is pretty much immune to any kind of pain killer so it hurts all the TIME. :(
I made lasagna and cheese bread for them all last monday. They all LOVED it. I was so pleased. And the men in that family are SO PICKY. I even liked it and I'm not much of a lasagna fan, but Lee likes it so I try to make it.

So today is pretty quiet so far. The store was DEAD last week. Not good.

I guess thats all, until later!

That poor car! Do they just use it to go off roading? It was expensive not to long ago lol.

Ugh .. Boxers. I hate them and Labs.

What are husky puppies?

It's nice you're trying to improve your relationship by improving yourself before things could have gotten bad. :)

Hahaha, yeah, I know. Yes, he actually got it for free from the in laws, so its for playing, hehe.

You never seen a husky? Maybe I'm spelling it wrong, heres some:

SO ADORABLE!!! Its a little hot here for them tho, you'd have to keep it inside and our house is not big enough for 2 dogs! Much less one of that size full grown.
