Thankful Thursday

Today I'm Thankful for the a few things. First of all, I'm so thankful for getting the chance to work 

with Jumping Jax Designs. She has created my new blog design, and I love it. She is so helpful and

she had my blog done in 24 hours. Super fast and very responsive to questions you have.

Ok, let's get back on my original topic.....

This might seem really silly, but I'm really thankful I got to see this. So, everyone knows that the World Cup Soccer tournament has been going on for the last week and a half or so. 

If you are asking yourself what is the World Cup, are you kidding me!?! :)

What is Soccer? - The best sport on this planet except for Rugby!

So, anyway back to the story.

Yesterday the USA played Algeria in a elimination round. However, like most of the people I had to

work. I've been recording all the games at home on my DVR. Thank you DriecTv. Yesterday I was trying to ignore all Facebook status updates and Tweets regarding the game, because I was recording it and I wanted to wait until I got home to watch it. The person sitting next to me at work (marea) said the USA just had another goal take away! I plugged my ears  la.la.la.la. I told her that I was going to watch the game when I got home. To say the least it was hard to not get involved in everyone's conversations about the game. I was starting to get a little hungry so I went over to the Deli and got a breakfast sando. I'm walking over there enjoying my fresh air and the sunshine that was peaking out. I walked into the deli and......

The Game was on!?!

As I walked in the USA was attacking the goal and the ball was finished. The goal keeper for Algeria made a great stop, but unfortunately deflected the ball right back in front of him about 5-7 yards. Landon Donovan came running in and BAM! 

Gooooooaaaaaaaaalllll!

The ball hit the back of the net. I instantly was jumping up and down in the Deli, well everyone else was too! :) I was super excited that I got to see the winning goal live. I didn't go home last night and watch the whole game, how can you relive that moment when you know the exciting ending. I'm thankful that my belly was growling and I decided to go to the Deli when I did. 

Also, another exciting thing as well. My mom's whole side of the family is from New Zealand. So, I'm half Kiwi. The All Whites, from New Zealand have made the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. They are doing amazing. They tied Slovenia and tied Italy. Which is huge. They haven't made a point in a World Cup since 1982. Very exciting to watch and awesome for New Zealand!

Great Job USA you deserved that Win!

Sick, Father's Day, New Pool

First of all let me say sorry that I have posed since last Friday. 

I was super sick this weekend. I think allergies have taken over my body.

Anyways, friday night I got to hang out with Autumn while the boys were celebrating 

her finance's bachelor party. We hung out drank and got a little to silly and crazy that night.

Let's just say that it took me most of Saturday to recover from the event's of Friday night.

 Mackenna and I went to Target and Trader Joe's and got a few things. 

A new pool, golf ball set, and a new swim suit.

She loved the new pool and thought it was the best ever. Also, I never

would have thought that she would have liked the golf balls and clubs so much. She played with

them for over an hour.

We had a awesome Father's Day! We BBQ'd with Ian's parents and also got a lot done around the 

yard. I swear the pine needles hadn't been raked in like 5 years at this house. Ian mowed the lawn,

weed wacked. I shoveled and raked pine needles and pine cones, for what seemed like forever! :)

Ian had a great 2nd Father's Day with Mackenna. She is so lucky to have a 

great daddy!

Fat Friday #3

I'm on the 3rd day in the challenge with my dad. Which is who can loose more 

weight by the time he comes to visit me next month.

So far so good, down 8 pounds. Weeee!

My Dad should be sacred!!

Ian is off to go out for the bachelor party tonight for Tyson and Autumn's wedding.

They have a presidential sweet at the Grand Sierra Resort. Drinking, strippers, and the list goes on :)

Tonight I'm going to hang with autumn at my house and have a girls night of watching Sex in the city 

and making tequila and squirt drinks, and pizza. Ahhh, sounds delightful on a friday evening. 

This weekend is father's day. 

This will be Ian's 2nd Father's Day.

He is a great Dad to Mackenna and we are both lucky to have him.

What are your plans for Father's Day?

Any Father's Day gift Idea's?

Thankful - for a lot

I couldn't pinpoint one thing this week for what i was thankful for....

It's hard when you have several things..

Ok, FINE! I will just go with one thing...

I'm super thankful because we moved into a new place a couple of weeks ago.

We lived in a townhome that was attached, which I'm sure you all know what it's like to be 

attached to someone else's wall. It just plain sucks.

I was entertaining the idea of moving. I hoped on craigslist and was looking for houses.

Now we paid a lot for our attached townhome. $1400 a month. 

So, I looked and looked at several places and finally I was about to just give up on the 

whole thing. Then one evening I was at Safeway.

Side note: Safeway in Truckee, CA is one of the only grocery stores in town

so you can't go in there without seeing anyone you don't know. It's immpossible.

I ran into a friend that I used to work with and she told me that she was moving our of her

3 bedroom house. I was like sweet. I took Ian by and it was exactly what we were looking for.

3bedroom, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garage, wood burning stove.

Another side note: Woodburning stove in the Lake Tahoe, CA area is a huge must. 

Saves you a ton of money on Gas/heat. Our gas bill could be over $200 in the winter easily.

After looking at this place I wanted it so bad. So, I went ahead and put our notice in and we moved

in 30 days later. We lived at our townhome for 3 years. We had tons of stuff that needed to be sorted and

gone through to make sure we needed all of it. In a way I like to move, because you get a chance to 

purge through all of your stuff and clean stuff out.

So happy we moved and now we have a house! It's a little more than our place now

$1550, but the extra $150 bucks is worth it to sleep better at night and have a little more

privacy and a house that you can jump around and bang around. :)
