Happy 3 months!

Today Blake and I have been married for 3 months. It's crazy how time can seem to fly by but also be SooooOoooOoo slow! I feel like we got married just yesterday but at the same time I feel like we've been married for years! Regardless if it's just days, months or years, I LOVE IT!! Blake does such a great job at being my best friend, he is everything I imagined a husband being and I love him so much. He's so great and I'm so lucky to get to spend every day with him. I can honestly say with all my heart he is my perfect one. These past couple months have been bliss. We've learned so much about each other. It's nice having someone as sweet, caring, patient, kind and loving as Blake. Here... let me explain, every morning before Blake goes to work or wakes up for the day he always comes over to me and just gives me a hug for no less then 5 minutes just so I can start my day off great. I'll come home, enter the house and find my completely.trashed.before.i.went.to.work.kitchen: spotless. all the dishes done, floors swept, counters wiped, everything. same with our family room. He always tells me he loves me, especially when I least expect it. He makes me laugh, so.hard! When I am flaming hot mad he ALWAYS knows what to say to calm me down, he's patient with me and he knows exactly when to give me space, give me a hug, give me a kiss, or just give me a good laugh. Life is so great with Blake around. I always tell him he's being to obnoxious but secretly, I.love.it. shhhh. haha. He does the funniest things like all his different voices, and how disgusted he gets by himself when he tries to sing seriously (favorite) and how he'll say something funny he always laughs after, but it's not his real laugh it's his i'm.not.sure.if.this.is.really.funny.but.i'm.just.going.to.laugh.because.i'm.nervous. laugh. It's the cutest thing in the world. Blake is just the cutest thing in the world. We can both act like complete dorks around each other and just laugh and laugh and laugh! He keeps my secrets. He takes complete care of me when I am sick and totally ornery. He never stops trying to make me happy. He thinks i'm beautiful even when I don't wear make-up. He respects me and encourages me to be the best I can. He is selfless, he puts me before himself. I love him because he makes me laugh and love life. He helps me be strong. He lets me fill our garage with a bunch of old, disgusting, furniture in hopes that one day I might be able to save them and he doesn't complain. I love him because he loves me. Oh how I can't wait to grow old with him!

Side Note: Now I know that 3 months really isn't that big of a deal but leave it to me to make little occasions, HUGE. So please expect a post like this a month from today :) Or maybe I'll just spare you and write something a little less gushy. We'll just have to see won't we?

Going on... Now that you all know why I love my husband so.darn.much. let me just show you what I made for him tonight... DINNER!! and guess what else... it was all from scratch! Yupp... It was good too, I was impressed with myself :] I made Pork Chops baked with potatoes, onions and milk, Bacon romaine salad, twice baked potatoes, tropical punch, topped with a yummy strawberry divine dessert. Here, let me show you pictures...

Trust me, it tasted better then it looks! lol Hopefull I'll have the courage to make dinner more often huh? We'll see. After dinner I massaged Blakes neck (it's been hurtin him lots lately :[ ) and we watched some more lost. It's a terrible addiction. It was a great day. Oh yeah... Today at church Blake and I got to teach the little sunbeams. It was great! They are so cute and so sweet. We talked about families and how Heavenly Father placed us each in our own special families for special reasons and the things those kids said about their families was just priceless. I loved it! Well, that's all for today! I hope tomorrow is just as exciting! Hope to post soon! Lots of love! Love:: Kathy Thompson! I love you Blake Scott Thompson!! (a.k.a. babe.honey.sweetheart.sugar.baby.handsome.love.etc)

WE PASSED!

.... Inspections that is! Well it's probably not that big of a deal but to me, it is. I spent SO much time cleaning and scrubbing and trying to make it look nice that when we saw the little green paper on our table I couldn't help but smile and laugh a little. I even went through my whole entire closet and threw away all my old clothes and folded and reorganized all my nice ones. Trust me... that took awhile. I did all of the laundry that started to pile up in our hall that seemed never ending and I folded it all and put it away. The dishes were cleaned and put away and every thing looked nice and tidey! It's so nice having a clean home. I think I'll try to keep it clean more often! Well, just thought I'd share my good news with all of you! Another post to come! Love:: Kathy Thompson

Sweet notes in the morning

One of my friends just recently got a whiteboard for her office and I found myself wanting one as well. Now, I already have one yes, but mine is one of those plain jane boring ones (you know with the actual white background lol) Okay, so it's not that bad but it's white. I think it looks nice above the computer but its not the best for sweet notes in the morning. I wanted a stylish one, one with a little color and all, one that would match our room. So... enter craft. Perfect. It's a little small for what I hoped for but it was the only picture frame not being used I could find in my house and it actually fits quite perfectly on the wall next to our bathroom. Blake and I use it for when one of us has work in the morning and the other doesn't. Sometimes he has to go to work at 7 and I'm just WAY to tired to get out and go eat cereal with him, so when I wake up there is always a little note for me! It was the simplest craft I've ever made :) I got a picture frame and my left over fabric from my fabric wall art project, measured out the frame, ironed my fabric and ta-da! Wonderful 'green'board that luckily matches our comforter and looks oh.so.nice. in our room to wake up to! I even left a "have fun inspecting!" note on it for when we got our inspections done, I'm sure it made someone other than me happy lol. The best part about it is, when Blake and I change the color in our room we can just easily switch the fabric out to match. Simple and sweet. Well... post soon!

The week and more

Not much has happened in the past five days. I haven't had a lot of work. Lately it's only been 2 days a week so with all the time on my hands I find myself; A] Wishing Blake was home from work B] Wishing I was in California with my family at Disneyland and on the beach C] Wanting to clean my house but finding myself getting distracted by the smallest things (like making gift bows out of magazines.) D] Trying to find a new place to live so Foxie can come home and E] Looking for a new job because the Chocolate factory just isn't my thing.

Ever sense the whole Panic Attack situation Blake just hasn't been getting better, he'll wake up and one thing that was bugging him the day before will have disappeared but some new problem has come to the surface. Yesterday it was headaches Today it's ear aches. I just wish I could make him feel better, I hate seeing him sick like this. We went to the doctors on Thursday to get him checked out, the light head-ness and the tingling arms and heavy shoulders came back while he was at work so we made an appointment to get some tests done. We went in and he got an EKG, his heart is really strong which was such a relief to know. We think that he has some sort of infection from his toe so he got some blood drawn and we'll know the results on Monday. They checked his blood pressure and blood sugar and he was all safe there. It is SO frustrating not knowing pretty much anything. I feel so lost and I have no idea how to comfort Blake.

Today he got a blessing from his Dad. During the blessing I got such a calming feeling. The gospel is SUCH a wonderful thing.

I am so thankful for his parents, they have helped us out a lot since we've been together. His Mom ALWAYS knows what to say not only to comfort Blake but to comfort me as well. While Blake and I were at their house we sat and talked for a couple hours. It's so nice being able to go over and just sit down to talk and forget all the worries of the world. They always have only kind things to say and they help us so much in life, especially when it comes to the Gospel. They are both so wise and so strong in the church. I admire them for all of the strength that they have.

Blake and I went golf course fishing again! It was pretty chilly so we didn't stay long, I caught a BIG catfish but before I could get a picture he was back in the water. Being at the golf course has brought SO many memories of last year back. Golf course fishing is one of my favorite things to do! You pretty much go to a golf course around 11:00 at night and fish in the ponds where HUGE fish are just waiting to be caught. My first time ever going was with Blake last June. We've gone with his friend Kody and his wife Cherri, my little sister Vanessa and he took Landon and Jace one time. It's fun being able to share "secret" activities with friends, it makes it more enjoyable. Although, going alone with Blake will always be the best; especially because I can do dumb things like scream, pick up my blanket and backpack and run half a mile because a sprinkler just so happened to turn on RIGHT next to me and not be judged haha. I will never get sick of Golf course fishing and I hope one day to we'll be able to take our kids to teach them the one and only "bad habit" that will be allowed :)

A couple nights ago

Blakes' best friend Kody and his wife Cherri

Blakes HUGE catfish!! I was a proud wife that moment :) haha

My first time golf course fishing haha I couldn't get my fishy to stay still for the picture!

My little sister kicking butt! she got SO many fish and she looked oh.so.cute fishing too!

We're just cool like that!

Last year was our first official "fishing" year. Blake and i went fishing so much it was insane. this year will be even better because we finally have a motor on our boat which means NO.MORE .ROWING! My life is complete! Hopefully we'll be able to get out there a lot this summer and camp a bunch more. It's one of my favorite things to do!

Other then the doctors and work and fishing that is pretty much all that we have done this week. Hopefully next week will be more eventful, if not... I'll be okay with that! Oh yeah! I also cut my hair this week to, well, my good friend Chandis did. I love it! It's definitely something to get used to, but as of now I'm not to sad all my hair was chopped haha. Anyways that's all that's going on in the Thompson family! I hope to post again soon with some more fun stuff!

Lots of love. Thanks for reading!

P.s. Happy birthday to my wonderful Daddy! and my beautiful sister in law Clenece!

P.s.s. My Grandad is going in for back surgery on the first of July. So... if you could all keep him in your prayers I would GREATLY appreciate that! Thank you very much!

Father's Day Love

As you all know, Yesterday was Father's Day. Well, me being in Saint George and my Dad being in California with my Mom, didn't leave much for a celebration. Last Father's Day I was also away from my Dad visiting Blake for the week. Oh how time seems to fly. Like every Father's Day you set aside the time to appreciate all the wonderful things, Dad. This year was great, for not only do I have my Dad Larry and my Dad Jose, but I also have my Dad Scott now! So here is a little post on why I love my Dads SO much. 1: My Step Dad Jose,

although he hasn't been in my life for to long he's still been in my life. He is an amazing guy and an equally as great Father. I met Jose when I was about 15 years old or so. My Mom took my sisters and I to California to meet him. I remember how much I instantly loved him. That weekend we went to Sea World and we went shopping and we did a lot of other fun things. He tried SO hard to make sure we were having so much fun. From the very beginning Jose has always been there for me. He's my teddy bear :) He has always been such a sweet guy and he cares for us girls so much. I'm very glad that not only is he in my life but that I can also call him Dad.

2: My Father-In-Law Scott,

almost 3 months ago I obtained a new set of parents. Wonderful parents. Scott and Lynell are amazing. Scott is such an awesome guy. From the very beginning he has always been awesome. He has such a sweet heart. Over the past year I have been able to get to know him a lot. He has SO much love for his children and his family. If Blake loves our children with just a fraction of love his Dad has for his children then that would be just fine! Since I've met Scott I have never heard him say anything hurtful to another person or talk anything bad about another person. He is so funny and he's filled with laughter! Whenever anyone needs anything he's always the first to offer a helping hand and just being around him can lift anyones spirits. He is such a blessing in my life and I am such a lucky girl to have him as my Father-in-Law! All you other married ladies out there should be jealous ;) 3: Lastly but not least, My Dad. My wonderful Dad. All of my life my Dad has always been there for me. He has never given up on me, not once. Even when I was rude to him and I selfishly slam doors and pushed him out of my life, he was always there to wipe me tears. Here are a few things why my Dad is so great and a few things we used to do together and a few reasons why I love him.

• When life was rough and I felt like no one would listen to me and I didn't matter to anyone my Dad was always there to pick me up in his arms and tell me how important I was to him and how that was all that mattered.
• He would let me drench his shirt with my tears when I thought the world was gonna fall apart and not say a thing about it.
• He's always accepted me as I am, but he has also always known my potential.
• Whenever there was something special going on in my life he was always there to share it with me.
• Every Wednesday during the winter he would take me night skiing, sometimes just him and I. No matter what I did (even if I just successfully went of a tiny bump and wiped out) he would look at me and tell me I was doing awesome, I could tell from his tone of voice that he meant it every time.
• His love for me was never secret- and he was always proud to demonstrate it to the world
• When I call him my spirits lift when he answers.
• He always kept my secrets.
• He taught me how to snow ski, water ski, wakeboard, wakeskate, ride dirt bikes, drive a car and so much more!!
• He was always willing to talk to me about the troubles I was having with my siblings and he always calmly explained that we all "grow out of it."
• Wherever he is, he always takes the time to make sure I am OK.
• When I was in big fights with my sisters growing up, he always told me that when I was older they'd be my best friends (calming the storms.) He was right.
• His approval was always worth srtiving for.
• All our family trips to California and Lake Powell
• He once told me that "10 'adda-boys' could be forgotten by 1 'opps-a-daisy'. I have taken that to heart and it has made me a better person.
• He taught me to walk and he guided my first steps
• He taught me about the gospel and he taught me how to appreciate it and how important it is.
• I love him for all of the hard work and effort he put into our millions of family nights (along side my Mom) like murder in the dark, night games, root beer floats and movie nights, visits to the parks and bridal veil falls, go kart racing, laser tagging, arcades, and many many more activites.
• He's always filled with something clever to say.
• He loves ALL his kids no matter how bad we hurt him.
• Whenever I got in trouble he would come and sit on my bed with me and patiently tell me why I was there.
• He taught me to be a loyal friend by being loyal to me.
• I can always count on my Dad to do the honarable thing.
• He told me how it was.
• Whenever I would go downstairs in the middle of the night to have a bowl of ice cream or cereal I could always find my Dad down there with a glass of sugar free root beer floats (my favorite) and he always offered one to me.
• One time we went to Hawaii and my Dad taught me how to surf. He spent most of the day pushing my surf board when a big wave came because my skinny arms were to weak to paddle me very far.
• One time we went skiing and he was recording me and I tripped on one of his skis and had a HUGE yard sale, after he collected all my gear we sat there in the snow and just laughed and laughed and laughed.
• Every night before I went to bed I would go to my parents room to say good night and we'd all end up talking and laughing until 2 or 3 in the morning.
• My Dad was always willing to help me out with school anyway he could.
• When graduation time was running close and I didn't think I could do it he was one of my biggest motiviations. Trying to make him proud has gotten me far in my goals.
• Because of my Dad and the similarities I see between him and Blake, I KNOW that Blake will be not only a good Husband but a great Father as well.
• My Dad is just AWESOME!!
• He was one of my BEST FRIENDS for my whole life! Especially these last couple of years.

Now those are just a FEW. I could go on and on and on. I love my Dad SOO much! I am so grateful to have in my life. He brings so much laughter and joy and I know that he is always just a phone call away. I'm so glad the relationship between my Dad and I is SO strong, I hope it always stays that way. Today and everyday I am glad to be able to call my Dad... MY Dad. He will forever hold a special part in my heart. I love you Daddy.

Such a lucky girl I am!! Happy belated Fathers Day

Will post again soon! Lots of love:: Kathy Thompson!!!

Catch up of my birthday and the fam bam reunion!

The first pictures are of my birthday with my sisters. We had tons of fun! First we went to Pizza Factory for dinner, I got a wonderful "19" pizza that blake ate and I shared some Chicken Alfredo Pasta with my sister that was equally as yummy! After dinner we went and watched Killers. It was actually a pretty funny movie that we all enjoyed! I had so much fun being able to spend my birthday with my family! It was great!! (Blakes parents drove down to Orem a day early so that I'd be able to be there for my birthday, they are both SO awesome!)

My pizza was falling off the pan :s

Ness, Mick and Amanda Outside of Pizza Factory On the drive up to Orem

Also that night Blake and I got to spend some time with my parents, Lj, Allan, Tim, Jade and Tj. They got me a yummy cake and they sang to me :) It was just a short and simple little visit because Blake and I had to catch our movie and they had to finish packing for Lake Powell. I got to spend the whole weekend with my little Fox! It was a perfect "gift"!!

The Family Runion was great as well! On Saturday we went to a park and had a great meal, Blake and I brought Foxie along so she could run around and play on the field. She had so much fun fetching for her rope and running around and chasing all of the kids! I've SO SO SO missed having my little buddy hang out with me all day everyday and watching her play. She brings so many laughs and so much happiness to Blake and I, I can't wait to have her back with me! that Saturday night Blake and I had to drop her back off with my sisters, it was hard for me (like always) to say goodbye to her. Here in Saint George when Blake is at work or not home she kept me so much company. I never felt alone with her. Especially before Blake and I were married and I lived in this quite house by myself. Hopefully we'll get her back shortly and We'll be able to take her to the puppy park once again! On Sunday Blake and I went to the rest of the fam bam reunion at the Aikens house where we had an awesome breakfast! Filled with eggs, potatos and sausage, fruit, juice, milk, and a bunch of pastrys! After breakfast we all said our goodbyes and wwe headed home back to Saint George! That was our wonderful weekend and my great birthday!!

Lots of love. Thanks for reading! Hope to post again soon! Love:: Kathy Thompson
