Last Christmas Post I promise: Laramie...end of vacation and the start of reality

By
We spent the time in Laramie eating food, hanging out, watching movies and just spending time together. I was on the couch or in bed for the first two days we were there and finally by Friday I felt well enough to get up and move around like normal. It was a great week spent with family. :)

I can't even handle these two. It just melts my heart instantly seeing them together. 
Mom and Dad Fox's tree out front looked SO COOL with the snow and lights!

It was SO cold outside but the kids still wanted to go out and of course Uncle Kevin went right outside with them. :)
Grandma Fox is the coolest and bought them all light sabers. I don't know who was more excited, the kids or Kevin. Haha. :)
Kiera was OBSESSED with Charlie. It was hilarious.
Kevin and his little buddy Jackson. :)
Sweet sisters playing the piano together..
Kiera was starting to feel sick and Jackson fell asleep on me just sitting there. Poor sick and tired kids!

My puffy teary eyes after a heart to heart see ya later (we don't do goodbyes) to my sista. This was before I knew Mom Fox and I were going to help drive Anna and Andrew back to Mason City. 

One final light saber war before we all left..

Favorite part of the following light saber pictures: Kiera. HAHAHAHA. She looked so funny holding the light saber! 

I love my sweet little best friend. :)

All in all it was a wonderful Christmas break (minus all the sickness which we are still passing around! Poor Mom Fox and Kevin are not feeling well! :( ) I loved the time we got with family. I loved the time I got to visit friends and I loved the chance I got to visit Mason City spontaneously (even if it was just for an hour!) It felt good to get back to Laramie Monday night and get more settled in this week. I started applying to jobs last week so hopefully something comes from that! Fingers crossed. 

I feel peace in my heart that this is going to be a wonderful year. I'm grateful for the blessings and experiences 2016 brought and am excited for a new year of new adventures! Bring it on 2017!

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

By
Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

By
This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

By
My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
