Yummy!

So the past couple of weeks Blake and I have had NO food in our pantry. Well no food that we could make a legit meal out of, so the other night we went, SHOPPING!! Let me first tell you how much I love grocery shopping with Blake. He is SO funny! I mean I think normally I would be upset about spending hours looking at the back of bacon packages to see which one has the least amount of fat, but with Blake i'm helpless! Haha I can't help but laugh about how precise he is when it comes to little stuff like that :) I was always nervous when I lived in my apartment when it came to shopping. I had to get the smallest carton of milk and heaven forbid I buy eggs because there is no way I could finish off all of them solo. I hated wasting food. Especially now since I have to pay for it and not my parents :p lol But being married to Blake has had it's stress relivers. Like for instance, no more wasted food! YESS! That boy eats SO much food! I don't know where he puts it all! I mean we go through about 2 gallons a WEEK! and maybe if we're lucky we can drag it out to two weeks. MAYBE. haha the amount of cereal Blake eats is unreal. When we go to the store he gets HIS two choices of cereal and I get MY two choices of cereal, but with the rate that he polishes threw the Life and Lucky Charms cereal I'M LUCKY if I even get a few bowls of my Honeycomb or Coco Puffs! Haha (When we pick out our cereals and I'm picking mine, I always pick Coco Puffs because I know Blake LOVES them! Even though he won't pick them out for his choice because he knows I will) So with the cereal aside and practically gone Blake and I were in urgent need of more food supplies! But with his recent foot accident I've been kind of hesitant to leave him at home. I know, I know. It's just a little toe but when Blake texted me and told me he smashed his foot and was heading to the hospital not knowing the extent of the damage, I had no choice but to think the worst. A million things were passing through my mind and I had no idea what I was going to do. The first thing that crossed my mind was to kneel down and pray. I don't think my first instinct for anything was ever to kneel down and pray but this time I felt it hit me like a brick. I knelt down and asked for comfort, I asked the Lord to be with Blake and help him deal with the pain, I asked the Lord to help me stay calm. I know he was with Blake and I that day. When I showed up at the hospital and saw his foot I was totally surprised. Blake was lucky the jumping jack only got his toe. The doctor said it looked like he broke his toe. That he'd be surprised if he didn't. Well we took the x-rays and then got them back. Luckily no broken toe! Blake and I were blessed. The doctor ended up taking off his toenail, stitching the cut underneath it, putting on a fake toenail, bandaging it all up and then sending us on our way. the stitches will be gone in a week-10 days and then after that it shouldn't be much longer until he will be able to get back to work :)I am so thankful for what the Lord did for us Friday. Out of all that could've happen, a toenail and a couple weeks is all the was lost! ANYWAYS, with Blake being injured and me not wanting to leave him at home limping away he came to the store with me :) hahahaha it was the FUNNIEST thing!! He got to use one of those electric cart things and he was having the time of his life peeling out around the corner of the isles and testing the machines speed and agility haha it totally made my day! When all was said and done though we got what we needed and Blake had to say goodbye to his new favorite toy :( but not until he fully drained the battery haha! I am proud to say though after a fun trip to the store we now have a full stocked pantry, fridge and freezer! and I am a HAPPY camper! <3 Well everyone, Stay tuned and find out if I actually cook something ;) I got this wonderful slow cooker from my Sister-in-law Amber and her family and I am really hoping I can muster up some courage to make this meal I've been dying to try!! wish me luck :) ::Thanks for reading!! Hope to post again soon!!! Kathy A. THOMPSON

Going crazy!

I cannot help but believe I am going crazy! I want a sewing machine UBBER bad! (yes... ubber.) Having absolutly nothing to do at home while Blake is gone, (with the exception of knitting my washcloth which is coming along horribly, may I add) leaves me wanting something that I can use forever. I find myself on the Internet browsing the neatest blogs. There are so many creative ladies out there that I can't help myself of being completely envious of their mad sewing skills and their AMAZING projects! I want to be a creative lady :( Which has brought to the conclusion that I MUST pick up sewing! (Along with a sewing machine.) Oh all the things I could sew! I actually believe that I might be good at it too! I like keeping my hands busy. I also like the idea of having MILLIONS of handbags made with different fabrics and different patterns! OH what a happy girl I'd be! I could make a purse like this


Or something a little more sophisticated like this


Or this


Or my ABSOLUTE favorite





Isn't that purse just gorgeous! The lady that originaly created this purse has like a BILLION of these purses in a ton of gorgeous different fabrics! (okay... Maybe not a billion. More like 40. But seriously. 40.) I'm jealous. And who knows, maybe I'll get really good at making these and some of you lucky ladies might get one as a gift. ;). Maybe. So many crafty people and I want to be one of them! Now I know that there are a ton of crafts out there that don't need a sewing machine but I'm past the point of wanting to decorate our home, (I quit after the family room) and I'm now to the point where I want to sew. Now I know, "if wishes were fishes we'd all have a fry" or something like that. But I can't help but hope! I asked Blake if I could get one and he said no. Probably because he thinks if I get one I'll neglect him and spend all my free time with my beautiful machine. Actually I know that's how he feels and I honestly don't blame him. Haha I can barely resist myself when we pass by them at walmart. My 'wants' have officially become my 'needs'. I wonder if there is any way I could sew in bed while Blake and I watch our movies together... Hmmm.... Once again... Going crazy!! BUT!. I think I'm fine with wishing BECAUSE.... My birthday is coming up and when Blake asked me to make my birthday wish list I cleverly put that on the top of my list :) [as well as in the middle and the bottom of my list!] Yes, you can applaud the brilliance behind this plan. I'll let you know how it turned out come the 4th of June ;) *fingers crossed* ANYWAYS... Now my rant is done. I hope you all enjoy listening to me blabber on and on. ::Thanks for reading!! Hope to post again soon!!! Kathy A. THOMPSON P.s. While writing this blog on my phone I leaned over to get my charger so it wouldn't die... Again... and in the process I somehow deleted more then half my original post. So don't be upset if the rest of this post isn't as brilliantly funny. Thanks :) P.s.s. Wait for my next blog when I write all about my HORRIBLE dream I had the other night :(... Am I leaving you anticipated??

Location:N Windsor Dr,Washington,United States

UGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I get my pictures so they are all side by side and cute and different sizes?

Instead of just plain ol' one size, right below each other in the boring fashion that they are??

PLEASE HELP!!!

The lovely little lady and her life story...

Woah! has it been awhile since I last blogged?! I think so!

Let me tell you a story...

Once upon a time this love little lady got on her blog and started writing a post on her iPhone. She spent minutes and minutes, and hours and hours coming up with the most clever things and the most quirkiest paragraphs. She wrote and wrote all about her adventures and her crafts and right when she was about to post her blog her phone... DIED! dead. drained. deleted. the blog.was.no.more. So the little lady was greatly disappointed, depressed and exhausted. So she plugged her phone into the charger and DELETED the blogging app. gone. And then decided that she was no longer going to blog. The end.

True Story.

Now let me tell you another story about that same little lady.

Once upon a time this lovely little lady decided that she didn't like NOT blogging so she got on the computer and is writing a post. The end.

True Story.

Now I am not sure if you know this or not BUUUUUUT. That little lady is me. Yes it is true. rumors are true. It is me. (Don't judge me.) So here I am and I am going to hopefully write a great huge long blog because I have SO much to say! Kind of.

Hmmm... So, I"m married! Not sure if all of you knew that or not ;) haha just kidding! My birthday is in 21 days :) I'm really looking forward to that! ALSO... The Bagley family reunion is in 22 days pretty cool. I found out today that Blakes great grandmothers birthday is September 19th which just so happens to be Blakes birthday :) and his great grandfathers birthday is on June 4th which just so happens to be MY birthday!! So I kind of took it as a little hint that Blake and I are SUPPOSED to be together because, well, we share the exact same birthdays as his great grandparents and that is just awesome! and a little bit weird! Either way I am pretty stoked about it!!

Yess... I still work at the Chocolate Factory :/ Don't get me wrong... Chocolate is great! but everyday... seriously? Good thing they just barely added delicious Blue Bunny ice cream or I don't think I would've last much longer! (I guess the unlimited Frazils kind of sweeten up the deal as well ;)) When I first started working there, if they asked if they could pay me with chocolate I would've been all, "Pay me with chocolate?! ALRIGHT! I'll hop on that band wagoon!" but today... "Pay me with chocolate??" *barf* I am SICK of chocolate! I'm to the point where I go to work and I don't even eat a piece, the WHOLE six hours I'm there! Not ONE piece! Now that is self control tehehe. Hopefully though some more exciting job will come around the corner or I'm gonna have to start poppin out kids just as an excuse to not have to work there anymore!! (Melissa... Amanda.... Don't get your hopes up.)

Blake is obsessed with fishing. If the weather weren't so windy lately my arms would have been fallen off from all the rowing he would be having me do! Thank goodness I got a little break. I have a feeling I'm gonna have to start workin' my arms out so I'll be prepared for this upcoming fishing season! Have I mentioned yet how lucky I am to have him not only in my life but as my HUSBAND!? If not. let me just say it now and get it out of my system...

I AM THE LUCKIEST GIRL TO HAVE BLAKE NOT ONLY IN MY LIFE BUT AS MY HUSBAND!!!!

good. That felt good. The past month and a half have been great. I feel like Blake and I have grown SO close! I love being able to learn the little nooks and crannies that make up what is, Blake. You know the little things like... Waking up to find his gum on the bed post :) Delight. Or, walking into the kitchen to find not one but, TEN bowls that used to be occupied with cereal. I did this little experiment to see how long after we ran out of bowls would Blake go until he finally washed one, WELL... I walked into the kitchen the other day not to find clean dishes but, to find Tupperware that used to be occupied by Blakes' choice of cereal for that morning. I can't help but smile and love the genius behind all this! He truly is one in a million :) once again... LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD!!

Frustration is on the rise as I try to export the 500 and something pictures off of my phone so I can show all the world what I have been up to, well not all the world but all my loved ones. BUT pictures aren't exporting leaving me once again one devastated little lady.

Update on the Fox. She is still sadly in Orem. I miss her terribly. She is getting SO big SO fast that I feel like I am missing out. Hopefully though Blake and I will be moving in the middle of June to a place where we can bring her home and continue our happy little family. I just have to say how grateful I am to have my sisters who are lovingly taking care of her because without them we might not have our little girl. THANK YOU!

Well guys!... It looks like you wont be viewing any pictures in this blog because my phone is LAAAMMMEEEOOO!

OH BUT... I can show you pictures that I uploaded that I took with my Beautiful and amazing Diana F+ camera that my wonderful husband got me as my wedding gift! Now keep in mind that this camera is a film camera. Meaning it's not digital. It takes 120 film and 35mm film. These pictures are taken with 35mm film and it is my first role so judge easy. I was a good girl so Blake spent the day driving me all around Zions to take pictures :) hehehehe

Well, that is all I have to write for this post. The time is getting late. midnight. and my Hubby is ready for bed. So I am going to leave you with what is written. Ponder. Think about how cool my blogs truly are. and then comment. Talk to me. I am, nothing but, I lonely blogger. Hope to hear from you soon!

Lots of love.

Thanks for reading! Hope to post again soon! Love:: Kathy THOMPSON!!!

P.s. Mom when you read this, go grab Dad and show him my pictures. Because, I am sure he will appreciate them the most because they are... truly... nothing but 'art' :p

LOVE YOU DAD!!
