So, here I am posting a very very late post. The 16-18 of August, was my 31st Bills Annual Family Reunion. It was fantastic I tell you! We go to McCall every year for a family reunion, and this year was by far the best. Not only is McCall absolutely beautiful, it's a really fun place to be. Trees, lakes, nature. MY KINDA THING. We went to the Pancake House and had a delicious breakfast, and then went canoeing on Saturday, Tom and I went to Ice Cream Alley afterwards, went swimming, had dinner with the family. On Sunday, we had breakfast at the condo. My aunt, grandma, and I fixed a huge breakfast for everyone. Including mini German Pancakes (I wish I would have gotten a picture!), hashbrowns, sausage, eggs, bacon, and fresh fruit. YUM. After breakfast Tommy, Christena (my sister), and Ross (her boyfriend), and I went and attempted fishing. Key word here: attempt. No luck what-so-ever. Tom and I enjoyed a little time in the pool afterwards and then got our stuff together and hit the road. It was a wonderful, relaxing weekend, that we both needed BADLY. We took Drake and Gunner. I'm pretty sure they had the time of their lives. It was Drake's first camping trip and I couldn't be a more proud mama. He did wonderful! He also went in the canoes with us. That. Was. Scary. The entire time he just kept switching sides, and if you know anything about canoes. They are not, let me repeat that, NOT sturdy at all. But, he never made us tip. And, Tom did. So that's an accomplishment!

The canoe trip. Oh, so fun.
Beautiful McCall


Happy camper!
Cute little deary






*Not all of my pictures are uploading right now, so I'll hopefully have a post totally
dedicated to all the pictures from the trip!

10 Things & Stuff

#1- photo of me. #2- ten random things about me. #3- q&a times!
(because it's midnight, I can't sleep, and JUST BECAUSE I CAN.)
(P.S. I stole this from Grumbles, she's my fav.)


1. I am, like, the poster child for a Sagittarius, and I am proud of that.
2. I am allergic to cats. Which is okay, because they're secretly evil.
3. Tigers are my favorite animal. So, big cats don't count as being evil.
4. I hoard water bottles. I have 5 on my night stand, 2 on my desk, and 3 on my window sill right now. It's a problem.
5. I'm obsessed with the paranormal, and learning about murderers/crazy people. Oops.
6. My favorite shows are American Horror Story, Dexter, and my new found love Orange is the New Black.
7. I would like to start my own dog bakery at some point in time, just out of my home. It's pathetic, I know. But, I have a really catchy name!
8. I wish I lived near the ocean.
9. I get really bad anxiety at times, usually at random.
10. I am really terrible at being creative.

Question Tiiiime

1. If you didn't have a/kid(s) right now where do you think you'd be?
I don't have a kid, so irrelevant. BUT, I think I would really enjoy living on the Oregon Coast.

 2. What's your most annoying trait?
I nag. A lot.

 3. Ryan Gosling or Taye Diggs?
Honestly, I had to google image search what Taye Diggs looks like. Who is he anyway? I choose Ryan though.
  
4. When are you at your best? When I am not stressed.

 5. What is the answer to the universe?
Puppies, Gatorade, cuddles, andddd pizza.

6. What do you geek out for?
New episodes of my favorite shows? Does that count? 

7. GLEE or Criminal Minds?
Criminal Minds.

8. What is your superpower?
Uhh.. stressing out. Over everything. But, still staying optimistic.

9. If you could LIVE anywhere, where would it be?
I would like living in many different places. Oregon Coast, Montana, Tennessee, North Carolina, possibly Australia or Ireland.

10. Favourite Blog?
Most definitely Grumbles and Grunts. As previously mentioned.

Ch-ch-chaaaanges



These last few days have been extremely stressful. We spent all day Saturday and Sunday moving Tom. I wish I would have taken some before-and-after pictures, because holy crap, we worked our butts off. I'm so relieved though that we finally did it, and he's in the house we will be living in when we get married. The other place needed a lot of cleaning done to it, and fixing, and still needs a ton of work. But, thankfully we found one of Tom's friends to take over his lease. Him and his fiancé are so excited to move in, which makes me extremely happy.
Tom, and I also celebrated our one year anniversary yesterday. It's crazy to think in just two months we will be married!
These passed few months have been really stressful, and continue to be stressful. I will probably be stressed until the wedding, and then find something else to stress about after that...
(can I say stress one more time?)
BESIDES THAT.
I've been addicted to pinterest more than usual lately, getting ideas on how to decorate the new house and what to do with it. At least most of my stress (yes I can.) and anxiety is for good things to come.

Busy Bees

So, I didn't exactly get a chance to write my first little blog post yesterday, because I got home and went straight to bed. So, here I am writing this today, in the form of yesterday. I think you get the point. Tom had to work at six, which meant waking up before the sun even thinks about rising. It took me an hour after he left to really fall back asleep, and within a couple hours the monsters wanted to be released from the dens. I complied. I felt even more tired than I did at four in the morning at what was now 8 o'clock, so I fell back asleep, and woke up a couple hours later. It was one of those times where you wake up thinking, "WHAT YEAR IS IT?!" I got up and shuffled over to the computer so that I could order my textbooks for school. (I'm a little late on doing so considering I start thee sophomore year of college in 19 days, to be exact.) After realizing I would be spending $300 on books, I got ready and headed to the bank, so I could withdraw my soul.
Seriously though, why in the hell are you charging students so much for words? As if we don't struggle enough with the financial means of education.
Anyway, I stopped at Starbucks on the way there, and treated myself to a delicious strawberries and crème and ventured into a turkey Panini. If you've never tried one, YOU MUST. It was like a baby angel had created said lunch. I could eat one everyday if my budget allowed. It was one of the tastiest things I have ever had. And, that is the truth.
After returning home from two different banks, I paid my small (HA HA) amount of money to my school for, again, WORDS ON PAPER, and decided I needed a little pick-me-up. I gathered up the little kiddos, and headed for the car. It's quite glorious to see the excitement in the wag of their tails, and their happy little faces when they get in the car. Like, "OH WE GET TO LEAVE!? Will there be treats there? Can I play ball? DO I GET TO SNIFF BUTTS!?" Why yes, all of those things. It's kind of crazy that dogs know where they are when it's a familiar place, I swear their manners go up and out the window on the street before the dog park. I have them in my lap, and half way out the window by the time I get parked.





We didn't spend too much time there today, after playing with this golden Shepherd, they had pretty much had it. It was hot, and not too pleasant out. I kept looking for my pups only to find out they were laying under the table panting with their tongues two feet long, practically dragging on the ground. We left, and headed back home, waiting for dad to get back.
Promptly, at around three, Tom showed up and we decided to take the dogs swimming. We loaded up and headed to Lucky Peak. I had never been to the area we were in before, and it was a perfect little spot. Normally, the furbabies don't go out swimming by themselves, but this time I had a bomb proof plan. Drake will do ANYTHING to fetch, seriously, as a German Shorthair it's hard-wired into their brains to go for hours. With that said, we threw a toy in the water, and BAM! Our previously water shy pup was splashing away! (I'm not kidding though, I've never seen such a goofy swimmer before in my life. It's awkward, and messy, and completely adorable.)
After I had put my phone away, Sarge started getting in and swimming. Of course, that is what happens when my phone is all the way back on the grassy null under a towel. We were in awe at how good of a swimmer he is. Not messy, or splashy at all. He practically glides. It was a super fun time down there.
We left soon after. The water was cold and our skinny little Drake was shivering away. On our way back we stopped at the Crow's Inn, and ate a bucket of clams. It was very delicious, and the dogs were allowed on the patio, which I shared my fries with.



There is my handsome, who is grumpy with a tooth ache
and annoyed by the dozens of bees.
Once we returned home, we put the boys away and headed to a small pond to go fishing. I caught three blue gill and I'm sick of those things. That's all I've been catching this summer, and they're useless.
