1st Birthdays
Brecken Miller turned one. Happy Birthday! We celebrated it on the 4th of July. Hence the awesome firworks cake! This little dude popped out having a strong personality. He loves making people laugh. Brecken is the toughest and most prone accident baby I have known. He went through a phase of hitting his head against people/walls/floor. Gunnar better watch out because this kid is a brick! But on the other spectrum... Brecken is also a HUGE cuddle bug! I love that when Rillz and I see him he wants hugs and kisses and just to snuggle. We love this sweet boy!
Before fireworks. The mosquitos attacked us all that night.
These two are so cute together.

Work and wedding...
Crap-ola... It has been over a month since writing on my blog. It's not that things aren't happening in my life to write about... just that to much has gone on that I am never home long enough to relax and write. What have I been up to? Work and wedding. That about sums it up. The last couple weeks I was working 12-14 hrs a day. Doesn't leave much time for anything else. Thank goodness Rillz is amazing and such a BIG help around the house, like doing the laundry so I have clean clothes. And wedding planning is in full force. My living room has boxes full of wedding favors. I swear everyone who lives in Hawaii also think they are on vacation. Grr.... oh well. Rillz and I started following a dinner menu plan. Rillz made up a month menu plan. Our goal is to not eat out at all for any meals this month. We are really loving this. Granted, it has only been a week but I feel really good about it! Meat is already thawed, no guessing whats for dinner, so great. Speaking of cooking, Jeff (Kristi's husband) asked Rillz if he would do a young mens activity on cooking. So last night Rillz did his young mens activity and enjoyed doing it. He had the boys flip eggs and then make a grilled ham and cheese and taught them how to doctor up canned tomato soup. Everyone enjoyed it! Random: Kristi made me a pillow for my birthday (yes three months ago and I am now just posting about it). The pillow is so cute and looks great in my living room!
I have plenty more to write but don't feel like it right now. Hopefully it won't be a month from now when I post again. :)

Rillz b-day
Rillz and I were going to Hawaii on his birthday so we celebrated it with my family the Saturday before. I made lasagna, salad, and breadsticks for everyone. We had a great time. Brent had just got a new hunting wii game so Brent, Rillz, Ren and I played it for a long time. Happy 32nd birthday Rillz!
Gunnar loves doing the heavy heavy hangover game on anyones birthday Rillz got this duffel bag and Gunnar got a ride in it.
Can you tell the candles are shaped into a 3 and 2 for his age?

My birthday , my day, my complaining of 2009
I had every intention this weekend to really get caught up on my blog. I just don't feel like it though. I did spend 6 hours stapling, cutting, stacking, organizing, my coupons that I haven't touched in over a month. Yes, 6 grueling hours. I watched 3 movies too. The Proposal (I find it funny), The Truman Show (such a good movie), and Paper Heart (kinda dumb. Don't waste your time). Anyways, my coupon sorting was stressing me out so thats done now! WooHoo. I organized some paperwork and cluttered closets (also stressing me out). Like they say, cleanliness is next to Godliness. Is that how it goes? I don't know but if it is the saying then I believe it!
On to better things... My birthday was great! My family (minus my dad, Brent, and Noelle) got together on my birthday (wednesday) and Rillz made a great dinner for everyone. We then celebrated and Gunnar was SO into it all. Kristi and Jeff gave me bags for my hula implements, which I love the fabrics!, Heidi and Ren got me these cute cups with an owl on them and a really cute spoon rest from their vacation in yellowstone, my parents got me a newspaper subscription (sounds lame but it is what I really wanted and the newspaper boy came by for the first time this morning. I was really excited), and Rillz got me a car fob to start my car from the house to warm or cool it. I am excited for that because I am always so cold for like the whole car ride anywhere.
Then last night, saturday night, I got together with my friends for my birthday at Cafe Ole. I loved it! They are great. I also went and saw the last movie Heath Ledger was making when he died, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, with my ex-sister-in-law Katherine. I adore her and Rillz and I love hanging out with her when she is home from college. Anyways, the movie was good. Not for everybody. Very imaginative and is much an independent film where most movie goers won't appreciate the filmography and creativity it has. As my family and friends would say, "it's definitely a Mindy movie".
I am now 24. I feel like I should be years older and at least have a baby by now. But last year brought me unexpected challenges and thank goodness I didn't haveM a baby with my ex-husband. I also never expected to have a divorce under my belt at 24. That was a great blessing in disguise though. I have met someone, Rillz, that treats me right and doesn't make me be financially responsible for everything and doesn't go out to get drunk and high with his friends (and affairs). Thats what I had to deal with in my marriage, and much more bullcrap that no one should put up with. I also didn't expect to be taking care of my mom on the weekends for a year. I loved spending that time with my mom though. As time consuming and stressful and draining as it was, I would do it over and over and not think twice about helping my family out.
2009- as you can see started out as the worst year of my short 23 years by a long shot. My mom laying in a bed unconcious and my husband at the time talking for hours with his girlfriend and not comforting me AT ALL! After counseling, divorce, and family love and friend support I became stronger and much happier. Therefore, my year slowly started looking brighter. I met Rillz and just became addicted to his great, kind, caring, loving personality. He made everything all about me. (that sounds selfish but I needed it at the time to regain confidence and bring back my personality). By the end of 2009 I felt like a lucky girl for the year I had. My mom has made amazing progress, I became closer to my family, I started new hobbies (couponing), and I found new love! I am blessed.
Rillz and I made a new years resolution of working out 4 times a week. But we are waiting until he is back from Hawaii to start. Yes, he is in Hawaii. He quit his job at Kanack Attack/Onos and needed a break. It was a very hard decision for him. But back to talking about the gym, much needed. My thighs are insane and are so big they are almost considered there own person. So the gym it is for me, if I can keep a resolution.
I can't think of anything else I really feel like righting about and this is long and boring and filled with many tangents already. Not to mention my head hurts and feels as though it is going to explode any second. So for the sake of ya'll I will peace out now.
