Wrecked Snowmobile

So this is written by Garrett. I know amazing right. So I went snowmobiling today. Didn't end so well. I was climbing a hill, and had to sidehill (traverse) it some to get to the top. I hit some hard icey snow and got bucked off. The sled stayed up right and ghost rode down the ridge some 200 yards. By the time I made it to the sled this is how I found it. I figure it was probably going a good 30MPH when it hit the tree. The pics with the tree in it are exactly how we found it. We had to pull it probaly close to 1/4 mile down the hill to get it to get it to the main trail. We were hoping we could tow it out. The sled was bent and messed up so bad we couldn't even tow it out. So we had to leave the sled and ride double for an hour and a half back to the truck. Ohh and if you are thinking, "I didn't know Garrett had a snowmobile". Yeah I don't!! I was borrowing it from my buddy.

HAIR DID!!!

So over valentine's day weekend, Garrett did the best thing ever. If you know us at all you know that these holidays are not a big deal for us. We are pretty low key and just show each other in little ways that we love each other year around!!! I mean can you really top giving your husband a son on father's day. I think not. So anyways, on valentine's day we were gettin ready to make the bed and garrett was saying he wanted to be done sanding the bed by around one. I was like okay, why? He told me he made me a hair appointment with my hair dresser to get my hair highlighted. This was a big deal because i haven't had my hair dyed in a really long time and was ready for a change. I had just briefly mentioned it the other day and low and behold. He is awesome!!!! Thanks babe. Love you!!!! Happy three year anniversary!!!!!

Bunk Bed!!!

So here is Brecken's "big boy bed"!!!! Garrett did an amazing job. He was surprised how good it turned out, but i knew he had it in him the whole time!!! He got to get a circular saw for the bed to build it, and now he says he feels like a "real man." Go figure, a man and his tools. :) I even helped some. I did some sanding and some other small things. Brecken was the General Contractor on the job. He was always on the phone with somebody!!:) He was cute and was a trooper through the whole day.

Talkin Talkin Brecken!!!

SNOW SHOEIN!!!!!

So we went snow shoeing this weekend. It started out good for like the first ten seconds and then Breck just cried the whole time. It was sad we planned to be our for a few hours. The weather was awesome it felt like spring, and it was easy and fun to do. We were excited to get out of the house and we be together without TV !!!:) We had fun for the hour we were out there. Plus garrett found a pair of abandoned snow shoes that had been there for a few days there weren't any fresh tracks so we took them. Even though it was short lived it was fun.

Grateful.....And Humbled!!!!

So I was planning on updating our blog today with all the happenings of christmas etc. But something happened last night that has never happened to me before. I of course went to bed early and Garrett came up stairs and woke me up at about ten and said that Alyssa (my older sister) called and I need to call nachelle. She was crying in her truck and wouldn't come in the house. I asked what was wrong. He said Jana died. For a minute I was what am I still asleep. I think I said what like five times. Who is Jana you ask??? Jana was a previous roommate of Nachelle's. She got married and moved, but she wasn't just any roommate but one of her best friends. This girl was so much fun. Always full of life, nice to whoever she saw, and her and nachelle were pretty much connected at the hip. She would help watch Brecken when we would take him over to Nachelle's house. Next question. What happened to this special girl?? She was driving to Utah with her husband and got into an accident. She was thrown from the car. She has been on life support for the last few days and last night they decided to take her off. She only lasted a few hours. I think i cried for a long time last night. Now i wasn't best friends with Jana but i've never had a friend pass away.
This has made me truely humbled and grateful for life. Often times we say life isn't fair. I believe that this is one of those times. I am truely grateful for my knowledge of the gospel and the plan of salvation. Many times in life we get caught up in our daily lives and forget about the eternal perspective of things. For example, this semester i am taking my hardest class i'll probably have to take in college. The dreaded Chem 106. The class is awful. I know in a few months it will be over but right now it's been my stresser. Not anymore, Jana has made me realize i need to enjoy life. Not just moments of it but all of it. There are times when Garrett and I are together but not spending time together. Like watching TV We're together but not spending time together. Last night we decided we need to spend more quality time together. I'm so grateful for such a great husband who is completely patient with me. I'm truely grateul for my Crazy little midget Brecken. He makes life full and fun and crazy. Never really need to go to the gym with that kid around. The only time he stops is when he's asleep and i'm glad he's fun and active and enjoys life. So sorry this is more of a journal entry but i feel like i've had a reality check.
Nachelle if you read this. You are in our prayers. I know this is probably one of the hardest things you'll have to go through in a very long time. Know that we love you and miss you. Brecken was lookin at pictures on the computer yesterday and your picture came up he got really excited and just kept ponting at your picture. He loves you so much. You'll see Jana again, you know that. I know it doesn't make it easy right now but having that knowledge will make it easier. I love you!!! Your my best friend. I can't wait for you to get back to the BURG!!!!! Please call if you need anything!!! Love your Weena
