Big News

I know I haven’t posted anything in what seems to be forever; however school, working at DHL, and at the theater occasionally keeps me plenty busy. I love school it is going really well and I am learning so much. I always wanted to go to school, and I feel so blessed to be in college. Now for the big news….. No, we are not pregnant yet. We are still trying and we hope that will happen for us, but when it does you won’t find out from the blog. TYSON IS DONE WITH SCHOOL!!!! It seems like its been so long since he started, but these last four years have gone by fast, and we are glad to be done with this portion of his schooling. He finished with a 3.63 GPA (I know he’s a smarty pants) working more than full time for most of the time. I’m really proud of my cutie, and am thankful for all the sacrifices he did for our little family. Now I hope he can find a good job.

Update

My sister’s visit
My sister came all the way from California to visit me about a month ago (Tyson just want it to make me happy and bought a ticket for her). We had so much fun just hanging out and being with each other, it’s too bad that her visit was so short, but it made me so happy.

The phantom of the Opera
Last week some of my sisters-in-laws and some friends went to Spokane to watch the Broadway play The phantom of the Opera, and it was amazing, I have never seen anything like it before and I loved it. I wish we could do things like these more often. Thanks girls for inviting me.

Big news…….It is school time

I will be going to school, starting September 22!!!!!!!!I know I can’t believe it too. I took the Compass test about a month and a half ago. I think I did pretty good actually, my reading was at college level, my writing was just the class below college level/ English 101 and I didn’t do very good on math, but I expected that and I am planning to work on it and retake this part of the test. I will be taking just 1 class this quarter for a few reasons: first- I am pretty scared and I want to see how I will do at all that; it is pretty new to me, second- I work full time and then Tyson has so much school debt so whatever schooling I do will be paid out of pocket. So all I can say is that I am really excited and really scared not exactly sure which is more, but that is certainly something I have wanted to attempt for a while, and I know it is worth it. So will see how it goes I will keep you posted, and keep your fingers crossed for me.

Happy Birthday to My Cutie

Yesterday it was Tyson’s birthday, he turned the big 26, and I think he had a pretty good time. I had a surprise appointment for a massage on Saturday night, and we had small family gathering at Libbie’s house on Sunday. He also got some calls from Bulgaria from my parents, and a call from Spain from my cousin, aunt and uncle (pretty popular guy ah?).He is one of those people that don’t like birthdays, but I think he really liked this one though.
Happy Birthday my Cutie I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Family Reunion

Last weekend was the Reil family reunion, and we had a blast. It was at a church camp, Camp “Zarahemla”. We loved everything about it the big lodge, sleeping on bunk beds with the rest of the family, the lake and all the activities, the food (good job to all of the girls) and all the time we got to spend with the family. There were so many things I did for the first time; the whole camping experience, jumping off a rope into the lake, and shouting a gun-that was awesome. Some of the other things we did were canoeing, crafts, puzzles, playing all kind of games, and having really a fun talent show.

Obsessed

I am reading the Twilight series right now and I am obsessed with them. The first time I heard about them was reading a post on Libbie’s blog, but she mention it was about vampires so that didn’t sound very interesting to me. And then everybody was talking about them (sometime I look in other people’s blogs, they are everywhere), so I decided to give them I try and they are really, really good. I borrowed the first one from Gracie and the day I finish it I bought the second one. I know I am little behind but I am so excited for the rest of them and the movie. For anybody out there that hasn’t read them yet, I recommend them.

Bonding with the girls

Last weekend and the week before we watched Tyson’s little sisters, because his parents were gone. We had lots of fun staying at the house and hanging out with the girls. We did lots of things with them, we baked (made cherry pie and some banana bread), and we watch lots of movies, worked in the garden, went to Gracie’s ballet recital, played some video games, and had lots of fun doing it. Also, Gracie was getting ready to go to the pioneer trek and I was really interested about it because I have never done anything like that before and it sounded fun to me, I even tried on her clothes for the trek and took some pictures looking like a woman from the past.

And we had to take a picture in front of the red barn

Tagged again

I got tagged thanks to Libbie, and it doesn’t happen very often so, it’s not too bad, but it is just kind of weird because I am not going to say anything bad about myself, only good things so I feel like I praise myself, but the good thing about them is that I learn more about myself trough it and about other people so here it goes…
Six things about myself:
1. Cute
2. Bossy
3. Funny
4. Smart
5. Thoughtful
6. Stylish
Let me explain a little bit the first 3 came from Tyson, # 4 from me and the last 2 from Gracie….. So there you go…

Memories

I saw this game on Libbie’s blog and it looks really fun. You don’t have to join in, but if you want to, read the instructions below…
This is how it works: leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you knew me a little or a lot, if it is recent or years old, silly or serious- anything you remember
Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It’s actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I’ll assume you’re playing the game and I’ll come to your blog and leave one about you

4th of July Weekend

Last weekend we went to Tyson’s sister Gretchen’s to celebrate the 4th of July, and we had so much fun. They had a waterslide bounce house, dunk tank, lots of food, and lots of kids. We spent the whole day playing with the kids and hanging out with the family; other than Gretchen’s family there was Libbie’s and Emily’s family, and we were so happy to see them and spend time with them. Later they had fireworks, which were pretty impressive, great fun for the kids, for us and a perfect ending for the perfect day. Next day was probably even better, we went floating down the Boise river, which is something I have never done, and I love it, was so cool, it took us 2 hours and it was pretty relaxing, little bit scary at places and so cold, but so worth it, I would do it again in a heart beat. To be honest that is the best 4th I ever had (witch are not many) and I can’t wait for the next year.
Thanks Gretchen and Scott you really made us feel at home

We love those cuties

Tyson even got facial from his niece

Cassie’s birthday

Weekend Run Down

We had really busy weekend last week. On Friday we went to Wenatchee to take some drivers there, and Tyson and I went to Applebee’s for diner. I was so happy to see most of my coworkers and see how they are doing. On Saturday we went swimming with Libbie and the girls, I had so much fun playing with the kids, it was so hard to get me out of the water (and I was left with bad sunburn too). In the afternoon we attended Scott Miller’s wedding, which was really fun. After that Jarred (Tyson’s friend) invited us to his house for a BBQ; we had a great time hanging out with him and his family. And unfortunately, we don’t have any pictures of the events, just good memories.
