*Got a new Puppy!
*Got Engaged!
*Got a new car!
*Got married!!
*Got a new job!
*Got Baptized!

I'm gonna miss 2007 for sure! HOPEFULLY 2008 can live up to this year. If not i'll be disappointed. :\ Is anybody throwing any cool New Years Parties? Tonight me and Dusty are going to dinner with Katie and Zach. Then the gang is getting together at my house.. Which Means DUN DUN DUN i have to clean today! :- darn....

Merry LATE Christmas!

I know I'm a couple days late, sorry! But Christmas this year was extra special! It was me and Dusty's 1st year together as a married couple! How exciting! Below is a picture of our tree... and i think you can make out that shiny silver heart... thats our 2007 "Our Christmas Together" ornament! I shoulda turned the lights on for the picture haha. Oh well! And also as U can see, we have no star on top of the tree! I'll have to hunt for a cute one....

So Christmas Eve me and dusty opened our gifts together because we were too lazy to wake up early and open them and Then be at his parents before 8. Dusty got a North Face jacket, jeans, shorts, a quad set of Scriptures, a humidifier (he likes the sound when he works nights haha). I got some sweaters, cozy socks, a new iron yay!, and a new CHI flat iron for my hair (mine was on the fritz). It was very nice. Ellie got a pink sweater that says "Biscuits are a girls best friend" lol, and a squeaky bear. You can kinda see her in hte picture below wearing her shirt haha...

Thats my mom and Dusty at my parents house doing Christmas there! We got alot of really nice gifts!!

I....

belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
I know who I am, I know God's Plan
I'll follow him In faith
I believe in the Savior, Jesus Christ
I'll honor his name
I'll do what is right
I'll folow his light
His truth I will proclaim!

:)

OOPS!

So I've been kinda stingy with the time of the baptism and I apologize! I'm so nervous about it that everytime somebody at church asks if they can announce it my stomach immediatley starts hurting and i'm like.. "eh, sure". I don't wanna seem like "EVERYONE COME TO MY BAPTISM!!!!!" ya know lol. But, If u do wanna go, that's totally fine with me! It's at 11 am this Saturday:)

Just some random things I've been up to!

So ya know how the other day it was suppose to storm Really bad!? Me and Dusty decided we'd buy ourselves a little game to play the whole day while couped up in the house with a crazy storm outside. So we drove all over and found one. Here's what we bought....

Turns out, It didn't storm at all. The sky got a little dark, but overall it was just a windy day haha. But we had a good time playing Rock Band... check out Dusty rocking out.... lol

Gotta love the socks ;)

So when Mandi moved out and when we moved in the house, she left two vacuums for us! Wodnerful! So i've been using the one downstairs like CRAZY to clean up Ellie's messes. So the other day Dusty was vacuuming (thats shocking in itself) and the vacuum went POP! and started smoking and stinking!! so we backed away from the vacuum and havn't touched it since. Then we remembered the one upstairs! I dragged it downstairs and turned 'er on. Turns out, the darn thing sounds like a weed whacker! So she joined the old vacuum in the trash. Now if U know ELLIE then U know she likes to SHRED whatever is around her all over the carpets so we NEED a vacuum to maintain a decent carpet. SO, we pulled all of our old wedding gift cards, and our coupons for bed bath and beyond and bought us a Brand New Vacuum!!!

Awesome Huh!?

Okay, So, under our sink in our bathroom is where our pup resides. Thats where her cozy bed is. It's like a little Nook, if U will :). So like i said, Ellie likes to shred things. So i was cleaning the bathroom and was going to wash her blanket.. So i pulled the blanket out.. and THIS is what fell out of her blanket!!!!


I know, It's hard to believe ALL of that came from her little bed. But i promise you, She hoards that stuff and i do Not know why!!!

Also, I would just like to say that i can NOT believe my baptism is only in FOUR days!! I've waited SO long for it to happen that it's almost Surreal! I'm SO excited and MORE than ready for Saturday! I'm also surprisingly nervous. I didn't know How nervous I'd be!!! But the reason I put that picture is because one of the Main reasons I am so excited is that in ONE year from this saturday, I can be sealed to my husband for eternity! I never really thought that i'd be able to. I'm just so grateful for the opportunities that have been brought to me. I look so forward to me OFFICIAL LDS-ness :) YAY!

Which car do YOU like better?

Just for fun....i'm taking a poll!

Christmas Partay!

So thursday night was Adams Homes christmas party! We had it at our General Managers house. It was beautiful. You can tell by some of the backgrounds in the photos! It was a fun party, and we got some cute pictures out of it......

Do u have this problem? I have the WORST case of "blink when the camera flashes" syndrome EVER.

I thought this one was cute... haha

And oh boy! One of our agents brought his cutie patootie little boy. Isn't he CUTE?!?!?! AH, Gotta love little babies.... :)

Meet the newest addition.....

So who remembers this Alien of a Car? I for one... would like to forget alllllll about it. SO! Let me introduce you to my husbands NEW car......


Ah, thats much better. I can actually look at it.. and not suddenly want to gag and spit.
(and yes, I know this looks like it was taken in Utah or something.. and yes, I know that You know I wasn't recently in Utah to take this picture.. So Yes, i did just google this picture. But believe me! It's the exact same truck as Dusty's haha....)

Do u ever?

Does anybody ever have a dream in the middle of the night, or just a reoccuring daydream that your husband dies and u are left alone? For some reason, it consumes my mind. I dream of it often. And i think of it often. Maybe it's just because i love him so much that i have NO idea what i would do without him? Because I'd be absolutely lost without him in my life? My mind wants me to prepare for the inevitable day so i won't go abolutely crazy? I know this is a strange thing to say.... But i just hate waking up in the morning from one of those dreams, wanting to roll over and give my husband a good hug....but he's already up and gone for work....It Terrifies me, and thats an understatement.
but ANYWAY...Since Lacey posted some wedding pics the other day, I thought I would too just for fun.. and because i'm thinking of how much i absolutely adore Dusty today.... So enjoy some of my wedding pics and I hope they don't bore you :)

Went Brown.......

What do You Think!?!

Tag!

Mandi tagged me.. to share 7 things about myself!! I don't even know if I can think of serious things to say hahaha.

okay....here it goes....

1. Well, UNLIKE Mandi, I have the Opposite cleaning dislikes. I hate. HATE. HATE. doing laundry! I let it pile up for WAY too long. Then it becomes overwhelming and i hate it even more. Laundry really is the worst chore. Did i already say that I hate it?

2. Also unlike Mandi, I LOVE doing dishes. Okay maybe I don't love doing them, but i would SO prefer doing dishes over laundry. ANY.DAY. I don't even mind unloading the dishwasher, no biggie at all. Dishes are my friend.

3. I really love Shopping. Like really. I love to go out to the mall, and have nothing in particular i want, and just find a ton of cute things. I love that! Sometimes i can get out of hand with shopping. But hey, Ya only live once, right? ;)

4. I am very grateful to have the job that i have. I work with amazing people and get to sit on my computer, and message those amazing people all day :). All my boss's are wonderful and I'm so glad I got it offered to me!

5. Ya know what Dadgummit? I love my husband. I love him more than anything there is to love. He means EVERYTHING to me.. even if he does work alot, and unexpectidly buy new cars, and watch a little bit too much football...i Love him! And i have no idea what i would do without him. The thought of me living without him scares me to death. I love ya, Dusty ;)

6. I love to eat. I love going out to eat yummy food. Me and Dusty, i kid u not, used to eat out EVERY SINGLE meal. Seriously. We're trying to cut back. We eat at home alot more now but... there is Something missing ;). I love alice springs chicken at outback. Oh and i LOOOVE Chicken Scallopine from Mac. Grill. and OMG Ihop, has really good burgers. You've gotta try them......

7. And Last but not least, I am just so grateful for everything I have. Me and Dusty are so lucky to have such wonderful families..my side, And his. They really help us out and treat us wonderfully. Sometimes I don't even know what I would do without them! So thanks for All you do for us, Hess' and Schulers! :) We love u guys.


OH! i almost forgot to Tag others! I TAG.... EVERYBODY thats on my friends list. haha

Nashville with the Hess' (and wights)

So this Saturday, I was SO lucky to join the Hess clan to Nashville! Me, Jessica, Mandi, and Mrs. Hess went by ourselves at first and started off at the CoolSprings mall. (The guys met us later for dinner) Which was really fun! We found alot of cute stuff. We went into a cute pet shop where I bought Ellie a new little sister! Just kidding... But then we left and went to the OpryMills mall. I love that mall when it is decorated for Christmas. I think that is the Only time i've ever been, is when its Christmas time haha. We found alot of fun stuff there too. On this trip I....1. Tried a Turkey Burger! First AND last time ;) 2. Enjoyed a FULL day of my FAVORITE thing in the world. Shopping! 3. Got to take Jessica as my Date on a boat ride. 4. Ate at a really neat restaurant that was like an Aquarium and 5. Spend time with my new Family :) I love them.

Here's me and my Date jessica on a romantic boat ride! Dusty didn't want to ride... haha

SO.... to my surprise...Dusty text me an interesting message yesterday. Something about.... "i bought".. and... "A New Car."

Now, I'm all for new cars. Hey- I LOVE cars! Especially SUV's! I love driving them, I love the way most look.. i just love new cars in general.

UNTIL...

I was informed of just What SUV it was that my oh so sweet hubby had just bought...

I'm SO excited for Christmas! This upcoming weekend, me and my sisters in law and mother in law are going to Nashville to SHOP for christmas! Oh boy i can't wait. All the guys are going to meet us up there for dinner saturday night too. I'm so excited! Shopping is my favorite thing in the world to do ;). It's gonna be a great weekend. Ah.. i can't wait til then.....

A Day Late.

I just wanted to say.. Happy Birthday Mandi, a day late. I hadn't realized how behind I was with this thing! haha. So i'll start from yesterday! I just wanted to say, that I am so grateful to have Mandi as one of my new Sisters in Law! She is Always so nice to me and always invites me to acompany her places. I really love gettin out of the house and going out with Mandi and the boys. I really feel like I can tell her anything and she has helped me with some big decisions (if ya know what i mean, Man!). And i'm just all around grateful that she's welcomed me into the family so lovingly :) I love ya, Mandi! Happy Birthday!
Lately I've been feeling really...sickly. Friday night (last week) i woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't breath. So me and Dusty laied there awake for a while and talked until we could fall back asleep. Ever since, I've had a sore throat... stuffy nose.. and watery eyes. Today my voice sounds the worst. It sounds like i really REALLY need to clear my throat.. But i can't! I don't know what to do about it but I really don't want to go to the doctor and miss work. Actually, i would love to miss work haha. But not to go to the doc ;) Wish this thing would go away!
Last night I tried this new recipe I got off of Kraftfoods.com. It was Creamy Chicken Enchiladas and it was pretty dadgum tasty! Dusty liked it and brought leftovers to work with him today (that always means its good). I'm not sure what i'll make tonight...i'm trying to cook a little bit healthier because me and Dusty both eat fast food at least...7 times if not more a week. It's pathetic. AND we don't exercise. And we just got a free elliptical from Mandi! (see how nice she is?;)). So mark my words! Today's the day I start Trying to be a little more healthy! Sorry I have no pretty pictures to show...I left my camera at home.... Maybe some later ;) Have a nice day!!

Happy Halloween!!

Well it's Halloween! Here at Adams Homes, us girls decided to all dress up as Witches. Here are some pictures. AND one of the ladies showed me this neat feature with the colors haha...(my stockings were Really purple.. but the camera could change the color to whatever u wanted!)
