2010

I'm so glad that 2010 is finally here! 2009 was a good year, much much better than 2008 and 2007, but I'm expecting 2010 to be even better! Rob and I each have "dream books" where we've written down our plans for life both now and for the future and we have very specific goals for this year and are excited to make them happen!

First and foremost we would like to start our freakin' family! Most people do not need to plan out their family but since we like to make everything difficult we now officially need the help of doctors. YUCK! Oh well maybe if I finally admit it to the world it will magically happen, right??? Right! So I'm again on the hunt for somewhat decent health insurance and then we shall see!

What else???

- I made a goal to be 130 pounds by Feb 8th....I won't tell you how much I have to lose to make that happen...but it's going to be a fun month!
- I also joined the "Biggest LOOSer Club" and I think it's going to definitly help motivate me in my attempt to get fit!
- to study the scriptures every day and be more active in church
- start traveling - we have lots of destinations we would like to go, this year will be the big trip to Chicago!!
- To finally buy my dream car - I will be saving until May and then buying my GMC Yukon!!!

There's many more things I need to work on, but that's a good start for now! 2010 better bring it.

Christmas at the Hackers

We had Rob's family over for Chrismas Eve dinner this year, we had a great time!!




Anisa (she's only 14 & like 4 in taller than me!), me, Rob and Alex


These are Rob's brothers puppies & I even knew they were coming, but Rob comes walking in holding one of them and says to me "look what I got you for Christmas" yeah I totally believed him & was super excited for about 3 seconds, then I realized he was kidding and tried to play it off like I knew it all along!!


Rob's mom Lynda with Chanel, Chanel of course was the star of the night you can't help but hug her!

Then of course there is Max - poor guy & his mental problems, he tried really hard to be a part of the fun, but mostly just hung out in the hallway

And now to Christmas morning!!! Just me and Rob all day hanging out in pjs eating leftover cookies!


Rob opening his new bowling ball bag!!!


I just put this on because my dog is laying in my lap- she is only about 120 pounds!!! But she really thinks she is a lap dog, so I let her!


And this is me opening my diamond earrings!!! Best gift ever! (Until he hears about what I want next year!) But I don't feel bad about asking for these because I actually really do deserve them and much much more!! HA! (He actually gave me earrings a couple years ago but they were lame and little so I needed an upgrade- I'm such a snob!!!!)

Disneyland at Christmas

We were able to go to Disneyland last week with my sister and her family! It was crazy - seriously about 3 million people were there and I must say none of them looked like they were having that great of a time, but we had a great time weaving in and out of people trying to keep my personal bubble around me!!

Rob & Reagan (I think she was on his shoulders most of the time!)


Me & Sam & Rob with crazyy eyes & some gross couple doing some PDA....couldn't bring myself to crop them out, it's Christmas time afterall


Cute little Rylie - look at those freckles!


My favorite part of the day - the toy soldiers in the parade - they had the funniest costumes and their boots were plastic and made the coolest sounds as they danced on by!!

Thanks Sam for the happiest day of our lives!!!

The Greatest Gadget Ever!

When I was at my parents house I discovered the MOST amazing kitchen gadget!! It's call the Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser!!! Seriously it is the coolest thing! You just pour in a cup of water in the top, turn it on and in less than 30 seconds you have blazing hot water for your hot chocolate!

My mom just sent me my very own and it is the best gift ever - so if you have any hot chocolate lovers out there this would be a reDONKulously wonderful gift for them!

I'm so glad there are really smart people out there that think these things up - my life would be meaningless without all my kitchen gadgets!!

If it's not one thing....it's another

5 weeks ago I was afraid for my sister and her baby, now this.....

My mom was admitted to the hospital last Monday because her platelet levels were ridiculously low (normal is like 350,000, hers was 5000) really bad. So we thought ok mom is in the hospital but she's still talking on the phone so it can't be that bad...well then it got worse, she developed pneumonia on Thursday but they were keeping close track of her so we were all just getting email updates from my dad saying she was doing alright. Sunday we get an email saying she was being admitted to the ICU and she had gotten ARDS which is a life-threatening lung infection - which was caused by the pneumonia....crazy right?? We knew it was extremely serious, I was a mess so my sister and I booked a flight up for the next day....this is the sister who just had a baby 5 weeks ago, so we were in for an adventure.

It was seriously the longest travel time ever!!! We met my brother at the airport and got to the hospital eventually. I walked in the room with my brother and my dad and I lost it. My mom has been the rock of our family - she doesn't get sick, she had been the breadwinner in my family for years - and now she is laying helpless in a hospital bed with a breathing tube, about 10 different IV's poking her and she is heavily sedated....not a fun time. I thought my mom was going to die- that is insane to write but we all just had no idea how bad it was.

Now it's Wednesday (well Thursday now) and she made vast improvements today alone. she had the breathing tube removed and she was awake and alert and talking and she stood up for a few minutes. She was really bothered that we were all there bugging her so she kicked us out for the night so she could concentrate on her breathing- she is still forced to wear an oxygen mask to help her but i'm sure by the morning she will be ready to check out....not that she's going anywhere soon. I am amazed at the nurses here, they have been awesome and sweet and they genuinely care about her- people are just nicer here in Washington, everyone I walk by smiles and nods - it's so odd!!

We find out tomorrow if the treatments that she was given to raise the platelets has worked, if not she will go into surgery to have her spleen removed.

She is totally frustrated by the situation so I hope that will keep her motivated to keep recovering. The sad part is she has an autoimmune disease that she will have for the rest of her life and will probably need regular treatments.

I'm glad she is alive, on Sunday I really thought I was going to lose my mom. Very scary, but I am glad we hopped on a plane here and can at least know exactly what's happening.

Thats all I got

Happy Veteran's Day

Here's a shout out to those men* who are serving and protecting our country right now! I definitely appreciate more than most that there are others out there doing it and not my man! He served his time and looked dang good doing it and I'm sure if there ever comes a time when he feels he is needed, he will step right up and do it again!!

Seriously how adorable is this picture!!!



*I did not say "men and women" because most women who enlist in the military want to be equals, so there you go ladies, you are equal and you all get one word!! Just like the scriptures!!
