I'm Back

As you can see I am back to the blogging world. I will be going private though as I think that will calm my hubby's fears as to what happened recently. I promised though to blog only about what we are up to and nothing else but I think going private will help calm his fears.

Life is now back to normal and I have some pictures to share.

Here's David and I in Jackson, Wyoming. On the way home we drove through the Teton Pass and it was so beautiful!

We went sledding on Christmas day and took out the snowmobiles.

I was rockin the 'stache if I do say so myself.

David, his mom and his brother went ice fishing. I stayed home and did laundry with my dad.

I love this picture of my dad after he slid down the hill.

We're glad our family got to come and check out our new home. It's kinda cool to live in a place where you can actually take people around and show them cool places.

A New Record

I haven't gone this long without blogging in...well, I don't know how long! I hope everyone has had a Merry Christmas!!

This year, my dad and mother-in-law and brother-in-law came into town and got to see where we've been living the last 8 months. Today we took them up to Willow Flats and we went sledding and rode around on the snow mobiles. It was so fun!

Woohoo

Pops is on his way to Denver and 3 days til I go get Bonnie and Josh.

The weather around here is crap. What's the deal with this fog? It better clear out. That's all I gotta say.

Oops

Ok, after I wrote the first post, I went to work and the lady who owns the land we live on was there. She said that the problem was fixed yesterday and she had thought the water was turned back on. I told her it wasn't but I know it'll be turned back on today then.

WE HAVE RUNNING WATER

I sorta kinda maybe might have jumped to conclusions.

So there you have it.

Uh Oh

Things were going too good. T is out, I got a new car...Ok, maybe there's not a lot of things going good, but I'd say those were 2 pretty major things.

Anyways, 2 days ago I noticed there was water in the hallway of the main building. Later that day, the hallway had become a small pond which then turned into a larger pond outside of the main building. David says he thinks a pipe burst under the main building. I called the man, B we shall call him, who owns the land/cabins/main building.

Yesterday I woke up to people talking and thought "oh, good, it's getting fixed." I came back yesterday evening after being gone all day and saw that a hole had been dug outside of the door. That's it. Now here's the good part:

WE HAVE NO RUNNING WATER

and I'm guessing that by the time David's mom and maybe even my dad gets here, we still won't have running water. Isn't that perfect timing?

And you know what else is on my nerves? All of this pollution/haze that is in the valley. You can't see the mountains! "Gee, Dad, I promise there's a mountain over there. It's really pretty too." *sigh* It's like when we went to Yellowstone and I couldn't see the Teton's. It's a bummer. I wish this would clear out so we can see the mountains. It looks like I'm in Oklahoma again!

And you know what's even better? I'm in town and forgot to get the VIN # to my new car so I can get it insured. And for a city girl, the "run back to the cabin" thing is a little far! And this is the 2nd day that I forgot to bring the VIN # with me. And I can't go back to the cabin and call the insurance company b/c it'll cost me an arm and a leg.

Thank you T-Mobile for making my life more difficult by not placing a tower anywhere that would be convenient for me. I appreciate it. People in Idaho might use your service more if you had towers out here!

Ok, I'm going to jump off my soap box and go clean a restaurant kitchen.

I Got A Car!!!

I finally got a car!! It was an AWESOME price! Woohoo!

Computer About to Die

This has to be quick!

My cousin's talked to T's public defender who also said HE DID NOT CONFESS!!!! T said he never did but the news keeps saying he did. Bringing up the question, "why would someone confess to a crime they did not commit?"

I guess my cousin's are looking into an attorney to help get some things cleared up. You just can't believe everything you hear on the news. In this case, I'm glad! It's sad they don't report the truth. I think the Edmond P.D. has some explaining to do and hopefully an attorney will make them do it :0)

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday T! I'm glad your home!

Praise God!

Today I am praising God that my cousin got released and all charges dropped! I knew it couldn't have been him and am so thankful that the truth has come out!

Good News!

Tonight I am praising God that the DA doesn't think T has anything to do with Bicycle Bob's murder!!! The only question is: if they think he's innocent, why aren't they letting him out? It's too soon to tell what is going to happen but I am still praying for the truth and the very best outcome!!

Maybe they will tell more on the 10 o clock news tonight. I am still very saddened that Bicycle Bob was targeted. I just can't help but be excited that T might be free and clear. I pray he is!

I didn't go anywhere today because the battery died on the car I'm borrowing. I still need to find a vehicle though! Argh! So difficult! Anyways, I'm gonna finish up on here and go back home to my hubby!

David's New Toy

It snowed quite a bit yesterday. Today we didn't get as much. Kinda sad. We saw some wrecks last night on the way to Salt Lake. It's definitely more cold in Preston than Salt Lake. I'm ready for lots of snow!!

Salt Lake City

We're staying the night in Salt Lake tonight. We came down and had dinner and walked around temple square to look at lights. It was very pretty.

I brought my computer so we could check the internet for a vehicle while we are down here. No luck yet.

Other than that nothing going on.

Progress

I made a lot of progress yesterday on the cabin. It's looking a lot better.

One thing I have discovered about not living in the city during the winter: I feel sorry for the animals that have to stay outside in the below 0 weather. I feel so bad for the kittens and horses and cows around us. It's really sad.

I'm really hoping we can find a vehicle for me this weekend. I need one bad!

Well, I have nothing else to report :0)

I'm out.

Furniture Is In

The cabin is finally coming along. We got a big bed out of there and set up our couch and chair. It starting to look more homey.

I found out last night who the creepy man was that was sitting in his truck outside of our cabin. It was my boss's husband. He was supposed to come out for a meeting last night but got his nights mixed up and came out Tuesday night instead of last night. That made me feel a whole lot better. I also feel a whole lot better because I went and got a phone that will work out there since our cell phones don't.

It's time for me to get some winter clothing! I still think it's colder in Oklahoma though.

Oh, one thing that stinks about the cabins is that the water smells like sulfur. You know, that lovely boiled egg smell. That's something for Bonnie and my dad to look forward to :0)
The more you use it, the less it seems to smell so I will be running the water occasionally to try to get the smell out.

I just have to keep in mind our motto: live like no one else so you can live like no one else. I look forward to the day when I look back on this and laugh that we lived in a one room cabin. It'll be worth it though when I have no debt!

Creepy

Ok, I'm sitting in the Burger King parking lot using their wi-fi. I had to come into town to run some errands and brought my laptop with me in the never ending quest of finding places where I can use it.

The cabin is crammed full of stuff. We brought over our furniture last night, well, some of it. I'm going to have to get creative with storage :0) Soon I'm sure it will feel like home.

Had something crazy happen last night. Around 8 Austin came over to help David move furniture and he comes in the cabin and asks us who is in the truck outside. We're like, "truck? There's a truck outside?"

Apparently there was a guy in a blue dodge truck sitting outside with his lights shining toward our cars parked next to the cabin. When Austin pulled up he made sure the guy could see him and waved and the guy just stared. Austin didn't recognize him. He stayed out there for a bit more and then when we came out to go to Austin's we were all going to see what he was up to but he was gone. He never came back. At least not that I know of. I made David get his gun.

Creepy.

Anyways, I'm going to see about getting a phone for the cabin.

This morning when David left for work the thermometer said -1.6 degrees. Brrr! Now it's 14 I think.

Gotta go so I can get my errands done!

Our New Home

The front of the cabin.

My new friends :0)

He loves me already.

The pond in front of our cabin.

Some really old, original cabin from Wyoming, I think.

The main building.

Quick Update

We are just now about to start taking more stuff over to the cabin but we intend on staying the night there tonight.

We went to Ogden to look at a vehicle for me but it ended up not being what we were hoping. We came back with a snowmobile instead :0) It was a good deal. Very cheap and it runs. So, we'll be watching out for some more deals on a vehicle and hopefully this coming weekend we'll get to try again.

I experienced something new today. While we were driving to and from Ogden/Roy, Utah we were having a hard time keeping our windows defrosted. The INSIDE of our windows had frost on them while we were driving! I have never seen that before.

I hear our new snowmobile running!

Early Morning

David is getting up early to go look for mountain lion tracks. If he and Austin find some they'll call this guy who has hounds so he can bring them out. He better get back in time for church.

Tomorrow we better be moving into that cabin. David keeps finding other things to do rather than doing what needs to be done.

Not sure if we're going to go to Salt Lake to look at a car or not.

I probably won't have much to post tomorrow. I'll post pictures of the cabin if I ever get over there.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Austin on his snowmobile. Not enough snow, he's just playing around.

David is on a 4 wheeler behind Austin.

We still have not made it over to the cabin. David is loading up some shop stuff right now.

Preparing to Move...Still.

David had to work this morning and we didn't get anything done last night. We went and saw Old Dogs so he could celebrate his not working on a Friday night. Anyways, it stressed me out a lot because I had intended on using all of yesterday to get stuff done.

So, now I'm getting everything ready for him to move when he gets off work. Hopefully I'll be able to get some pictures posted today.

It's snowing just a tad and looks super cold outside. It should be fun moving in the freezing cold. Good thing it's not a whole lot! The other good thing is that the rest of our stuff at the house in town is already boxed up.

Gotta get back to work.

Packing

I've been procrastinating in the worst way. I was planning on getting our stuff all ready to move by today. Has that happened? Not hardly. Austin and Vicki are showing their house on Saturday and probably wondering when I'm going to get the basement under control.

It. Will. Be. Done. Today. Promise.

I can't wait to take some pictures and show off our cute little cabin. This is going to be viewed as another adventure for David & Hannah. This is going to be so helpful to us in reaching our goal to be DEBT FREE!! I am so excited to be working toward our plan. The only thing lacking is a full time job for me which I need to start hitting that hard again. I've kinda slacked since I've been at the cafe.

I'm excited David doesn't have school tonight or have to work at Pizza Stop. He just sold a trailer that we got in Wyoming when our axle broke on my dad's trailer. So, now David's going to start working on fixing my dad's trailer. It should be done by the time he gets here.

Time to go clean, wait on tables, clean, fold silverware, prep food, clean and wait on some more tables. I'm out.

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful that my family is coming to Idaho from the great state of Oklahoma! I hope all plans go through and nothing prevents them from being able to come. I pray they have traveling mercies!

Inbetween Seasons

I guess one thing that stinks about this time of year is that I have no pictures to post and nothing to write about. There's no snow to do snow sports and obviously, it's not summer anymore!

I'm looking forward to this weekend and moving into our little cabin. I still can't believe we're going to be living in a cabin. :0)

David's been on the lookout for a car for me. He's been seeing some good deals online so hopefully I can get something quick. David said if he ends up getting something junky, he won't make me drive it, I can drive the Toyota. So sweet.

The only exciting thing to happen is that yesterday at the restaurant, we sold pastrami sandwiches and they were a hit. And I'm going to learn to make a white chocolate peppermint mocha like at Starbuck's...yum!

I'm too broke for Christmas presents so I've become crafty and have been working on a project for Amy. I think it's going to be so cute. Too bad I can't knit, everyone else might get knitted underwear or socks if I could!!

Well, time to get dressed for work.
