Summer!

I know, I know.... Summer isn't quite here yet, but i wish it was! I miss you warm sunshine! The days where I can wear Tshirts and flip flops without freezing... the camping, and swimming, and all the other fun outdoor adventures that summer brings...SO HURRY UP AND GET HERE ALREADY! We have lots of stuff planned already, and it can't come fast enough... reunions, a couple trips home to see the family, yellowstone...add in working full time and doing lots of work on our house and you get one BUSY summer. won't leave any free time in between (especially since that will be spent working on the house), but that's ok. It's all going to be worth it! At least we get to squeeze in a few fun things :)

It's a good thing!

After almost 10 years with Sports Authority it's time to say goodbye. it's a good thing though. Better things are coming my way. Starting monday I will be working for D&B Supply! I'm very excited to start this new chapter in my life. Hopefully this is the first of many positive changes that will occur for us this year. We have a lot of work to do to reach our goals, but it will all be worth it in the end. I'm very grateful to have a job, and grateful for the many other blessings in our life. Thank you to all our amazing family and friends for your support! It means a lot to us! we love you all!

We're Still Here! I Promise!!

so let me catch you up on the latest Thueson happenings....

The job hunt:
jas found out about a month ago that his store is closing. He's been on the job hunt ever since. After a day or 2 feeling down. He picked himself back up and has been pretty positive this whole time. It's been a bit of a roller coaster the past few weeks, but i know he will find something! I have faith! He has another interview tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed! we will keep you updated on his job search...

Tripple Play:
A few weeks ago we went to Spokane to see my family. My parents treated all 5 of their kids and their spouses and families to a night at the Holiday Inn tripple Play for a night! It was a crazy couple days, and we were exausted when we got home, but it was a blast! We played Tons of bowling! I'm bowled out for a while LOL! We also played laser tag, swam in the water park, played miniature golf,and drove the go-karts (which they wouldn't let me drive by the way- totally sucked!) It was so much fun to spend a couple days with my family. It's been a little while since we have all been together.



Other than that we've just been working, spending time with family and friends, going for drives.... you get the picture......

Out With The Old....

I got the crazy idea to re-decorate our house. Nothing major just little things here and there. I will post before and after pics, but here's a glimpse of what i'm doing. The rest will have to be a surprise!

I SURVIVED!

Yesterday I had my first EVER hospital experience. I was really scared because I didn't know what to expect. when I checked in I had to get MORE labs done! For the record I think I've had enough lab work done to last for the rest of my life! of course the lab tech wasn't able to draw the blood from my arm so he had to get it from the top of my hand! OUCH! After that I went down to medical imaging where they put me in a room and got my IV in. This was me right before the IV was put in. Jas was trying to make me laugh cuz he knew I was nervous. As you can see I was less than ammused .

I was so nervous about the IV but it really wasn't that bad other than the initial numbing shot the nurse gave me. Here I am after The IV. Even smiling! Can you believe it? LOL! Can you tell I was nervous. It's scary when you don't know what to expect!

We hung out for a little bit and then the nurse sent Jas to the cafeteria and wheeled me into the room for the procedure. Aparently I was awake for the procedure but don't remember any of it! I remember the Dr. explaining what was going to happen, and then the nurse gave me the sedation medicine. The next thing I remember is waking up in a different room and Jas and the nurse were watching Toy Story 2. I slept off and on for the next little bit.


I ate a little food and then after a whie I got to come home. SO there you have it...proof that I Survived my first hospital experience! or I guess the better phrase would be... proof I survived the fear of my first hospital experience. Thank you Jas! I couldn't have made it through this without you!

O' Christmas Tree

One of my favorite things this time of year is the Christmas tree! I love trimming it with ornaments both traditional and sentimental! Jas and I painted these ornaments the first Christmas we were married 6 years ago. I will always cherrish the memory of the day we painted these and how much fun we had!



Nothing is better than sitting by A lit Christmas Tree when all the other lights are off. It gives me time to reflect on happy thoughts, and puts me in the Christmas Spirit. That being said I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. May the Chrismas Spirit be with you and yours this great Holiday Season! Here's to a great start to the new year!

On My Mind

Tonight I have a bit of a heavy heart... a lot of people in our life are going through hard times right now. It really puts things in perspective and reminds me how scary it is that things can change in an instant. I just try to remember that we all go through hard times at some point and we need to help each other through them. Sometimes there isn't much you can do except be there... be there to listen....be there as a shoulder to cry on..... be there to help each other get back up! In the end all of these small things are actually a lot. So tonight I will say an extra prayer for all the people going through hard times. Things can only get better from here!
