2018 In Rewind


Wow! It’s April and I still haven’t talked about 2018! I am slacking!


So in 2018 many things happened. First thing first, Lee’s Grandfather had passed away after a tragic accident at home. This man was someone Lee idolized. I had the opportunity to meet him a couple of time and though he couldn’t communicate well to me, I loved meeting him. My favorite memory, the last time we saw him before he passed away, he gave Lee and I the biggest smile when he realized that I was with Lee. It warmed my heart with acceptance. I wish I was able to go back in time before he had his strokes and talk to him about life.


My dad opened up his shop! Melrose Auto Clinic LLC. I could not be any more proud of him following his dreams. Just seeing how far the shop has come and that it is a FAMILY business shows the determination he has for his business. He takes pride in it. My brother is also working there as an apprentice under my dad. Soon he will be starting his college classes for the Tech program.

Lee and I met John Conley! This was the coolest thing ever. We were definitely the youngest couple in there.


I GOT A NEW CAR! My transmission blew in my Malibu Hybrid and because I work at a dealership I was able to go home with a new vehicle the next day. I got a 2012 Equinox! My dream vehicle. It is practical and big enough for our family to grow!


Family growing????????? Yep! Lee and I welcomed our little girl Nova in July. She is more than perfect. I could not imagine our life without her. She may drive me crazy and love her dad more than me but she was the missing piece to our family. Nova is now a 10 month old and is “pointing” at everything. I cannot wait to get her out hunting. Nova is a purebred German Shorthair Pointer.


Another crazy idea I had last year was to run a half marathon. Say what? Yep! I ran a half marathon with my mom and aunt. It was so fun! Mentally I could do it. Physically, well that’s another story. I was going strong until mile 10. Then I hurt. At mile 12 I wanted to just die. But it was such an accomplishment! I also did a 6 hour run! That was so fun! Nothing serious but everyone there cheered you on and told you good job. I fell in love…. I am now running a marathon relay, half marathon, 24 hour race, and a 25K….. Yep I have officially gone insane…


Many other things happened last year from going to the Packers Family Night, Going to the Tri-State Psychology Conference, Starting my Behavior Research Project (Presenting at PCARD, Symposium, Tri-State Conference) many great times with family, many trips up north, canning our gardens bounty, family vacation, and many other things…


So over all 2018 was great but I can’t wait to see what 2019 has in the books for us (Graduating, another dog, moving to a different state, and who know what else!)

Life Update

I'm so excited to announce that this weekend is opening for gun season! I'm so excited to get out and take my little sister. I got my deer earlier this year so I really hope she can get hers! You got it Bug!! Here is an update on my life~ Injuries? As many of you know, in June I had fallen and hurt my back and elbow pretty bad. After X-Rays on my back we found out that I have pulling on my spine which is making it curve. So I need to stretch a lot to release the tension on my spine. As for my elbow I was diagnosed with Bursitis. We had X-Rays done too but they came back normal. It has been 4 ½ months and my elbow is still messed up. There is still swelling and pain. The assumption now is that I have pulled or tore a tendon. It just sucks because I constantly use my arms at both jobs and so I’m not giving my elbow time to heal. Which means the healing process is going to be longer.   Well I have 4 ½ weeks of class then final week! So excited for Christmas break! But s...

Relationship

As of October 27th 2016, Lee and I have been dating. It has been a wonderful experience and everything we have done has made memories that I will never forget. Lee is a wonderful man, and I'm not just saying that. He is the type of guy that is dedicated to his goals in life and works hard to try and reach them. All his life he has been a hard worker. When he was younger his father had passed away. Although no one wants to lose a family member, It has made Lee into such a great man and I know Kerry would be so proud of his son. Adventures? Lee and I have been on some pretty crazy adventures. He took me up north to stay in a cabin for his younger brother (Chubs) birthday. It was so fun meeting his family and letting lose for a bit. I also got so experience some other fun and cool things on the many trips up north. I got to shoot a shot gun for the first time, watch how honey is extracted, fish, make jerky and bacon, and ride four wheeler at his families land along with many other...
