4 wheelin and mudding

about a week ago me and the hubby went 4 wheeling with some friends of ours. My friend from work and her hubby.

We met up in Creal Springs at my friends family members house, unloaded the 4 wheelers, and set out into the woods. We met up with a few of their friends and parked ourselves at their camp 2 miles into the woods. there a few more of their friends started showing up and before we knew it there was about 15 people riding around in the woods with us.

this was the 2nd time I had ever been on a 4 wheeler..but the 1st time out on trails. Cole had rode before but about 15 years ago, so our friends went easy on us and took us on a cruise than go crazy like the others.

we got stuck in the mud not to far into the woods. my friend tina had to rock her wheeler out. and from there on it was easy riding.

we met everyone up at one point in the middle of what they call “the playground” at this point in the ride there wasn’t much mud to get caught in so we look pretty clean.

after this little rest we got to going. and that’s where the mud started to fly. 8-10 miles of trail. from 4 in the afternoon to about 9 at night we were out riding.

we had a really good time. when we got back to the cars, loaded the wheelers onto the trailer and I got into the light I could see I had thigh high mud on my pants.

tried to get a picture with the phone before we stripped down but the darn thing died and I was exhausted.

definitely something we both wanna do again and again and hopefully get the chance to camp out.

thanks Tina and JW Lott for the fun time!

life is busy

Since I got married I have noticed many different things and am becoming more understanding of my family and the way things were while growing up. I have a new found respect for my parents and want to strive to be as good as they were to us kids while growing up.

My parents have always been very humble and loving people and I want to be able to pass that down to my future children and to those who are a part of my life. We haven't always had it easy and its been a stressful bumpy road (since I was going thru school and now that I'm on my own) but they have always been there and are always willing to help when they can. I can only hope that one day soon I can return the favor and help them out when needed.

my parents have always tried to provide for us children and give us kids what we have asked for. In a way we were kind of spoiled but we all also had to work for what we got, so I guess we earned what we got. Whether it be gas money or a new laptop or something as small as eating out at the local fast food place.

since I got married I now understand where people say that the first year of married life is the hardest. and its proving to be true… even though I have been on my own for 2 years and living with my husband for both of those, its been hard to catch up on bills, gas, and food when our paychecks don’t line up. but thankfully only 5 months into being married things are starting to get to the point where we can catch up and maybe start some saving.

Ill admit I am not the best person when it comes to money. and I don’t always plan for the unexpected but im learning quicker and quicker every time.

Enough about that heres some updates:

Ru Bug is getting HUGE. Getting taller than Angel every day and when those growth spurts happen you can definitely tell.

I may post many photos of these crazy things on facebook and now all over my blog but for the time being they are my children. and ill plaster them everywhere because im proud of the goofy playful furbabies they are.

Been married to this lovely man of mine :

(photo taken on our very first date June 2010)

for now 4 months and 12 days. and since we got married things have been so much nicer. I used to always fight and complain and be a real pain in the ass. and ill admit that I wasn’t always the most pleasant person to be in the same room with. (thank you mom and dad for putting up with me!!) but since we said “I do” I have been so much happier and things are just so much simpler. :]

I love him more than he knows. and I am happier than a chunky kid with a king sized chocolate bar.

I may be bragging but I have the right to. its my blog. :)

I have grown a bigger family with his side. and the bond I'm trying to build is becoming something I wouldn’t want to lose. I have beautiful nephews and a niece. and I love them and their families.

ive always been a sucker for large families. always been something nice. and its nice to have someone to talk to. as you can see I cam from a family of talkers, as I ramble on.

in my future I hope to have a large family of my own.

I also see me going through the same struggles I see as I watch my favorite characters on “2 broke girls” trying to get their cupcake business off the ground and going. I am trying to get my jewelry off the ground and going. but sadly I get sidetracked and wanna just keep adding more stuff to my list of things I wanna make and sell. just a crafty person wanting to do more.

trying to make a name for myself is harder than it seems when you see people who are doing the same going places and your still stuck trying to sell from home or sell in general. gets discouraging. I love the few customers who were returning customers.. and I felt better about myself when I was able to hand out some cards to those at work or to random strangers.
