The Birthday Girl.

June 9th was my 25th Birthday. I had to work and got my desk decorated :)

Then I went to Cub scouts and got my car decorated by my some of my family :)
Then I got home to my favorite person and He made one of my favorite dinners on the bbq. Steak, corn on the cob, brussell sprouts and roasted potatos. It was a feast!

Then my sweet husband made me a birthday cake! I dont think I have ever seen him bake, but I have to say he should bake more....because it was a super good red velvet cake! I also made him sing happy birthday to me before I blew out the candles....He made his own version....fast and to the point lol I love him :)

For our birthdays my mom always does a sunday dinner with the family to celebrate. We had a great dinner, then she made me a red velvet cheesecake. I had it at the cheesecake factory and loved it so.... she made one just like it....I think it even beat the cheesecake factory :) ooh and by the way....can you tell I love red velvet? :)I had a great birthday! and Thank you to everyone that made it special!

Coral Pink Sand Dunes Utah.

We took a trip with my parents and my brother mike and his family to the coral pink sand dunes in Utah. We had a blast. It took about 10 hours to drive there....but it was worth it!

Jeff rode on his bike the whole time and I got to go in the sand rail a couple of times to go take pictures.

While we were out there we took the kids and tryed to slide down the sand dunes. It was fun but sand got every where! :) My Grandpa Buchanan and Merilyn was able to come. We got to share some great stories with them! They made Marshmellow guns and we had a marshmellow fight. Got to love a family that doesnt mind shooting each other with marshmellows!

We had a great time and are very excited to plan our next trip!

Love Bug?

Jeff and I love the sand dunes! We think it is a great family activity and we love how it will be great for our future family. So we invested in a Baja Bug! We love it!

We sold our older car a few months ago, so it will be nice to have two vehicles again. Jeff will be the main person to drive it.....I will drive it when we put hot pink flames on it (which Jeff said that will never happen lol so I think I will never have to drive it :)...) So here she is......the third wife!.................

Look at that smile!

The Birthday Boy.

Jeff just had his 27th Birthday on May 6th. It had been a great year and I was excited for his birthday :) I love our birthdays. He had to work on his birthday so just him and I celebrated on the monday before with some pizza and wings!

On his birthday I was able to go have dinner at the Fire station and hang out for most of the night. Those are always fun. We consider the fire station our family, so it was great to spend it with them. We had hamburgers and all the goodies to go with it!

Jeff loves sugar cookies....so I made a huge one for his birthday. (sorry I couldnt get the picture to sit right.) He also loves Peanut Butter M&M's. So I combined the two!

We had a wonderful day! Happy Birthday baby....I love you!

My New Dress.

My wonderful mother in-law puts together a Christmas box for Jeff and I for christmas. We always look forward to it, because she always puts alot of work into. And I love how she always gives us each a new stalking each year, stuffed with goodies!

This year I got a gift card to White house black market. I LOVE this store......Its always been one of those stores I window shop in. I just stare into the windows and dream lol I might even drool alittle. So after a couple of months of window shopping (poor jeff). I found the item I wanted to purchase. .....I stalked the dress online until it went into the clearance and got it for half off! Go me :). They didnt have my size online....They had the size bigger and the size smaller....so I talked to jeff about it and he said order the smaller size you will fit in it some day. ( I looked at him like he was crazy). So what did I do? I ordered the size smaller! what was I thinking!! It is much easier to make a bigger dress fit me.....I should know this my (awesome) mother is a amazing seamstress.

So after a week of waiting for it to come. The day came, it was sitting on our front door step. I was so excited, it is beautiful!!!! So I put it on and went to jeff to have him zip it up....( I did the whole suck in as much as you can so the zipper will close things).....and to my surprise it fit perfectly!

It may sound so stupid, I almost cryed. I fit in my goal size after this long 2 year journey of getting healthy and losing weight. It has been a whole lifestyle change. I did it! These past 2 years have been amazing. Thanks to my wonderful husband for all his support and his patience for all my healthy cooking mess ups. I have had more energy then I have ever had, I have more self esteem and I look better.....But best of all is when my doctors are impressed with how healthy I am!!! So we took a picture of me in the dress to say thank you to Mom S. for such a beautiful dress.

And a picture of Jeff to say thank you Mom S. for making such a handsome, Wonderful and amazing husband!

Sarah's Random Thoughts.

I have been thinking allot today about my love for my Heavenly Father. I like to think that he has a great personality. loving and funny, a person I strive to be like.

I always said when I was a kid, that I want to ask God what he was thinking when he made the Pig. It's just a weird looking animal......Don't you agree? Anyways....my point is......that I hope when I finish this life on earth. That there will be a room full of all the people I love that passed on and my Heavenly Father. We can all all rejoice and cry. Then I can ask my question....and God would just look at me, shake his head........ laugh...... and say I have been waiting for you........

One Of the things I love!

I love a warm spring day....driving with my love with the windows down ( even if it blows my hair in my face and tickles my nose.)

The car can be the best place to have a converstation with out things to distract you....unless you run into some bad drivers :)

But best of all....is when my favorite person is singing country music and I can just enjoy the day and listen to him sing......*deep breath...SWOON*
