My Humble Piece of pie...

I was thinking whether or not to post this, but what the heck. Why not? I was having one of those days yesterday for a lot of various reasons. I think it would be safe to say I have had a lot of built up stress these days. You know when you are being pulled in all sort's of directions? Having to be here and there and do this and that all in the same moment. I have come to the conclusion a lot of this is my own fault. I just need to learn to say one simple little word. NO.
After another 12 hour day at work yesterday feeling completely frustrated by people that don't even know the first thing about their own job. Being sick of picking up their slack and having to deal with frustrated patients and employee's from these people really got to me yesterday. All I wanted to do was go to my cute little niece's birthday party and see my family. Long story short we were late. I was on the verge of cooling off to be with family. Trying to remain calm from my frustrations. I did a good job of it too. I just kept thinking one more thing today and I will snap. Well.. This is that one more thing and I did snap, but not in a really bad way. I just cried most of the night in front of my cute family they were so concerned and sweet. I think they are used to seeing me be a pretty tough girl that does not crack under pressure. Can I just say though I feel so much better today after my cry and realizing all of the little things I was "sweating" are not that big of a deal. I have a wonderful life, husband, family, job etc.. Things could be a lot worse than they are. So today I'm truly grateful for my blessings. And it is just a car after all, but I do LOVE my car. We work really hard for the things we have. And if anyone knows me I love a spotless car. So hopefully she comes back to me good as new.
Oh.. I better say a bit on how it happened. There was just a little accident with some kids playing in the truck across the street. I'm so thankful they were not hurt. And that it was not a hit and run.

A little about Matt & Jen

Our 4th Valentine's Day Together...

It's hard to believe this was our fourth Valentines Day together. It was a great day! Matt worked yesterday, so I called this great pizza place called The Pie. It is just down the street from his work. We go there sometimes when I come up for lunch. Anyways I ordered him one of his favorites there and had it delivered for lunch. He wanted me to come up, but I pretended I could not make it. I showed up a couple hours later with his favorite sugar cookies. They were devoured by all of the guys at work. Little did he know I has some saved at home just for him :) We had a nice evening at home . We ordred take out from one of our favorite Thai restraunts Bangkok Grill. Mmm Mmm. And watched Nights In Rodanthe. It was pretty good. It was great to be home alone together relaxing :) Thanks for the flowers babe.

The Beautiful Flowers Matt brought me... I love them!!

Some of the Cookies that were left..

Hands off! These are mine :)

~Welcoming....Our Sweet New Little Niece McKinlee Kate~

On Monday February 2 we got a call of great news! Matt's Sister Christine and her family welcomed a new baby girl to their family. She was a couple weeks early so we were a little surprised. Matt and I were able to go visit them that evening in the hospital for a little while. What a Beautiful Baby Girl! She has the cutest little dimple's and sweetest little face. We are so happy to have another Niece to love and spoil. We now have a total of 35 Niece's and Nephew's! Wow! 33 on Matt's side and 2 on mine. Does that tell you how much smaller my side of the family is ?

G.N.O.

Our good friend Christi was here to visit form St. George. It was great to see her and get together as friends for Dinner. It was great to catch up with everyone and reminisce on old times. Love ya Girls!

Dad would be proud.. Fun little quiz! What sports car are you ?

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

I found this fun little quiz! I do love a sexy corvette! Grr!
