Halloween is already here, just a reminder that Christmas is just around the corner.
Here are some pictures of Marissa and Austin in there costumes before the school parade, because we all know that they will not look the same after school. Marissa is a Dark Angel this year and Austin is a Dead Warrior.
Okay here goes nothing. 1. What was I doing ten years ago?
Ten years ago I was a single parent, Marissa had just turned one in August, she had 3 stitches in her eye in October because she mastering walking and stumbled at Aunt Debbie's. I was working as Sconecutter as an Assistant Manager. I was finalizing custody agreement with Marissa's dad and he started see her again after almost a year. I meet Brett for the first time in August.
2. What was I doing 5 years ago?
Five years ago I just started working at ARUP Labortories and bought a new car and was still single. Marissa was in the first grade and started Girl Scouts. Brett was living with us as a roommate at the time. Nothing much was exciting five years ago.
3. What was I doing a year ago?
This one is easy I was in Hawaii and was just married and was also there when a earthquake happened. Hawaii was beautiful. The day we got married we were at Fleming Beach on Maui 4 hour before the ceremony. Here is a picture of Marissa and her sand castle that day.
4. What was I doing yesterday?
Yesterday, I my first anniversary to Brett, we didn't do nothing to special. We helped his niece moved. Marissa was with her dad and she went four-wheeling at the Sand dunes. I did laundry and went shopping for a shirt for Tim's graduation.
5. 5 Ways I would spend a million?
First I would pay my debt and pay my dad's house off and put money aside for Marissa college and a little for savings, and then probably move to Hawaii.
6. 5 Locations I'd run off to.
Tough one, anywhere where it is warm but not scorching hot or cold. I really don't have any specific place I would want to go but back to Hawaii. Boring I know but that is me.
7. 5 Bad habits.
Well the first bad habit would have to be my smoking, second bad habit would be not having enough patience when dealing with Marissa. Third, not cooking. I am not sure what else there is?? I think some more and add 2 more later.
8. 5 things I like doing
1) Enjoy Marissa and see how she has grown up so fast.
2) Spending time with Brett
3) Reading
4) Relaxing in the bath tub and finally
5) Enjoy my days off from work.
9. 5 TV Shows I like
Well I enjoy all the CSI's, One Tree Hill, Home Extreme Makeover, One Tree Hill, and Brothers and Sisters. There are many more but those are the top five.
10. 5 things I hate
Repeating myself to Marissa trying to get her to move. Driving!!! Cooking, I can not stand the smell of fried oil, working I wish I could stay and home and be there for Marissa when she gets home from school and finally, I hate mornings I am not a morning person.
Marissa has been in Girl Scouts for 5 years, this year she was awarded the Bronze Star Award for redoing the Girl Scouts bridge that is used when the girls bridge to Junior level from Brownies. Marissa is also one the the top sellers of cookies in her troop last year she sold over 750 boxes. During the summer she also goes to the Girl Scout camps last year she went to Cloud Rim for cheer leading and this past summer she went to Trefoil camp for horse riding.
First day of school Marissa stared 6th grade and Austin started 3rd grade this year.
Dad decided to extended the back deck by 4ft this spring. Once Brett got the go ahead to start he was off and running. First, he dug a 3 x 1 1/2 foot hole for the new post and made concrete block for the new post. The outside posts are 12 foot long 8 x 8. Once the deck was built the stairs were replace. Dad wanted to put windows in and enclose the entire porch. I had to veto the windows for I do not want an Easy-Bake Oven for a porch.
