Life for me has been crazy!!! I have been busy with two jobs, kids at the day care, and callings, Family functions every weekend, learning and more learning with my husband, and just being (yikes!, and gulp) thirty. I am kind of getting over the fact that i am now thirty, but it still makes one think about life. I swear that Nate thought that I was having a nervous break down. But after accepting the fact, and just being happy with who and what I am right now...My out look on life seams to be getting happier by the minute.
Crazy ladies!!! My lady was almost certifiable! I had to work the day before my birthday, and she had me run her cat to the vet to see what was wrong with it. Then I had to get her food from this Mexican place (and the road is under construction, so a two min, trip took ten) and then I had to go back to her house and clean, and give her a shower, and do her personal care which involved some leg massage. So I was only scheduled to work 3 hrs. that day and I got there early because of low numbers at the day care. I forgot that my lady had a doctors app. that day and she didn't show up till about a half hour after I got there. (no big deal..I forgot!) so After working for almost 4, yes count them 4 hours...I told her that I wasn't too happy about waiting for her to get off the toilet so I could pull up her pants, the night before my birthday, an hour after I was supposed to leave, and... I wasn't getting paid to do what I was doing...I wasn't too happy..and I told her... She got pissy, and I left. The next Mon. (i worked Monday through Thursday) I was not in a good mood, because of things that had happened at the day care, and I talked to Nate, and at the time he didn't help me feel better, and then I went to my lady's house...She started talking down to me and getting mad because I left an hour late...I got upset, and left. Long story short.. My eccentric lady is no longer my client. So for the time being. I only have one job!!
I have found that I am happier, lighter, and feeling a lot better about life! I think that she was just sucking me into her bitter old lady life, and that is not someplace that I wanted to be. So. no better paying job, yet...and life is looking good!!
Nate and I are doing better than we have been in a while, and I am proud to say that I think it's because of a slightly better attitude form me. It is amazing how life gets better when you are not around negative people! So, time has just not been my friend, because I find that there isn't enough time in the day to do all that I want to. And my blog has been on the back burner for far to long... I will keep up the goal of trying to blog more. keep reading my blog friends!! I love you all!!

New Year, New Resolutions
It is a new year and I have dicided to make a few obtainable resolutions. I would love to usser in my thirties looking fabulus! But, my idea of fabulus and the outside worlds are verry different... so about 20lbs should be obtainable. I have also decided that facebook id crap and that people should choose one place to be, and stop the other madness. And so blogg is the place to find all the updates. but I know that I can link the two, but I am not sure how to do that.
Finding a better paying job is number two priority on my list. We have dicided that some credit needes to be payed down before kids come into the picture. Speaking ot pictures. We got some taken. and they are cute!! I will post them as soon as i get them. I am working two jobs, and will tell you all more about the excentric old lady later. Needless to say she thinks that because i make Nate breakfast that our marrage won't last... We have had a few hick-ups, the first little while, but we are learning every day how to be better at communication, and all the stuff it takes to make a marrage work...and making breakfast is ONE thing that I can do to help make my husband happy. I am gratful and happy to do that!
I will post more about her later. keep reading blogg friends.

Life, Love and Death
On June 28th about 9:30 AM, Nate's Mother passed away. We are sad and miss her a lot, but to me it is strange how after only one month of marrage, we get to go through another one of lifes events. There is a lot to say, but time does not permit. I will write later.

10 days...
In ten days I will become Mrs. Carrie Evans!!!! (OK really 11 days but I don't count today, because I am all ready in it, and I am glad that work is over.)
So, I have to tell a little about why today is one day that I am glad to have over...I work at a daycare, and that is fun in the summer because I get paid to watch kids at the park, and I get to spend all day outside. Today however is the day that I drive the biggest goober mobile you have ever seen in the form of a thirteen passenger van... I also got to take kids to the free lunch offered at a church. So, there were a few things that happened today that made the park not so much fun.
1. One child decided not to listen after the fifth time of telling them that they can't go that far away form teachers...and then the attitude started.
2. One child decided that her life is like T.V. and she wanted to copy the Capri sun commercial and jump on her Capri sun and see if she too would turn into water?!?!!? Sad to crush her dreams, but she did in fact NOT become the puddle of water that she hoped to be. She then became my shadow, instead of a puddle.
3. One child forgot their lunch and didn't tell me until I got to the park after the free lunch was over, and refused to eat anything that was offered to them....picky eaters get to go hungry when good food is offered.
4. One child decided to throw rocks at a friend, and instead of listening in time-out, they decided to pick the grass, pick mushrooms, and pick up dirty bird feathers.... after the time-out ended we had a pretty serious discussion about germs, and being sick in the hospital.
5. So, after the 5Th call to Denise, my immediate boss, and the daycare to talk to the upper level boss to decide what should be done, I had to call one more time, because a child PUKED!!
Needless to say, I am glad that work is over and that I only have 10, let's say that again...10, Ten, Dies, Days left before I am married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but who is counting any way.

All because 2 people fell in love
Last Thursday, the 14th, Nate calls me and said that he was craving stake and wanted to take me to sizzler. I said, "ok! steak sounds good, and then i don't have to cook." Then he tried to drive me to "our spot" (the hill that he took me to the night we first met) but, our spot, was dug up and we couldn't get there....so we drove to the other side of town, to find a spot to watch the sun set, and then we drove south of town to the forest preserve...and we still couldn't find a road that was open... strike 5, we went back to almost the original spot. By that time I had to pee... so I found a bush, (and so did he) and we were hugging. By this time I kind of had the idea that he would propose, but I was still happy to just be with Nate. When Nate said to me that he could spend forever with me, I knew that it was true...and then he asked me to marry him. I said yes!!
We are looking at the 27th of June....and in Rexburg, (not our 1st choice...) for the wedding. So, if you can make it that would be great!!!! Just, let me know, and we will feed you at the rockin party!!! Oh, the ring is not the official ring...because neither of us really have money, but the ring will work for now. And just think...all of this will happen and has happened, just because 2 people fell in love.
Pay it forward
Thanks to Emily, and my sister Kaye I have something new to distract me from what I really should be doing....sorry dishes...a little blog game called "Pay it forward."
How it works: The FIRST THREE people to leave a comment on this post will receive at some point during this year a gift from ME. What it will be and when it will arrive will be a total surprise. The CATCH is that YOU MUST PLAY TOO! Before you leave your comment here, write a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (you can cut and paste these instructions). Then come back and let me know that you are going to play, and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift. Oh, and your address too...
