Slacker...I guess

An elderly lady in my old ward in Duncan found my cell phone number (still trying to figure this out)...and called me this morning. I ran to my phone when I heard it ringing, noticed it was a Duncan number, flipped it open, but I WAS TOO LATE! At first, I was disappointed! I was sure it was an old friend calling to chat or something. Then my phone let me know that the person left a voicemail. WooHoo! So I listened....to hear this (edited for names and gift to protect her identity):

"Allison this is____________ in Duncan. I am wondering did you guys ever get that package I mailed you of those _____? I'd sure like to hear whether you go it or not. My phone number is ___________ and you have my address. I'd sure like for you to let me know...ACKNOWLEDGE...whether you got it or not. Thank you. Goodbye."

What is it with people expecting a Thank You card after giving someone a gift? I think it's a generational thing. I sure do not expect or even want a thank you card from anyone when I give them a wedding gift. I know you're grateful! Enjoy the gift in peace!

I need to finish up my thank yous and get them out, I know! I have been very busy getting paperwork together to buy a house, so I guess I've been slacking in the Thank you note area. So sue me.

I guess I should be writing Thank Yous instead of being on here typing out this post. But what is really on my list are more important things, like laundry and dishes and cleaning...the things that get neglected because I work full-time and in my spare time I get stuff together for the house...or spend a little quality time with my husband.

Oh well...her thank you will go out in the mail today. If you are reading this and didn't get a thank you card yet...well I apologize. THANK YOU for the gift, we love it. I'll be sending out cards soon (I hope).

Ha Ha

Move Over Elk

I was super bored yesterday and somewhat bummed about that fact. Jereld's mom and brothers left to go to a wedding, leaving Jereld, his dad, and me. However, Jereld and his dad were out hunting until noon. Leaving me to watch TV shows that don't even slightly amuse me (nothing good is on that time of day!).

When Jereld came back, all he could talk about was hunting...until he realized that I was so bored and bummed about being alone all morning. So...being the sweet man that he is. Invited me to go on a date:

1) Scouting for elk




(YES THAT'S ME!! DID YOU THINK IT WASN'T!?!?!?)

2) Driving to Snowflake to order




This made me feel:



(Of course this is me! I just changed my hair for this picture!)

Man's Search for Happiness

I'm sitting here in Clay Springs at my in-laws typing away as my husband snoozes (I just napped too, so I can't really pretend he's being lazy...ha ha). I'm so happy to be here. Work hasn't been very fun lately for me. Being away from my husband was AWFUL! I'm glad I lived through it!

What's up with the title? Why was I away from Jereld?



A MAN CAN DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He got drawn for the archery elk hunt in 3C this year (which includes his hometown). AND...he got off work for 2 weeks. I did not get off that many days. Which means: I have to be without my Favorite for a few days here and there. Currently, I'm here with him, so I'm happy.

On another note: Last week we put an offer in a short sale house. We haven't heard anything yet, but we're hoping. Here's some pictures:
