Christmas time again!!!!
I love Christmas time, it's my favorite time of the year not just cause I get two paid days off and the pharmacy is closed and not even cause you get presents from those you love, but it doesn't hurt. I love Christmas cause for some crazy reason people are extra nice and it is contagious, I also love it more now cause of peanut, there's nothing like seeing a kid at Christmas and yes she's spoiled and she gets tons of stuff that she will probably never use and honestly I don't even care about that, because come Christmas morning to see the excitement in her face is priceless I love that I love seeing her feel special this year was especially nice I enjoy her getting older and the things she's starting to learn. I love when we read twas the night before Christmas and she said Santa brings me present cause he loves me? And then she began to name all her friends he loved too, now that.........thats what makes me love this time of year!!!!

It's a punkin!!!
We got up to a cloudy day outside, but decided to make the best of it, and since peanut is growing up so fast we decided let's go pick out some pumpkins so we can carve them this Saturday.
We went to the cutest pumpkin patch/ farmers market it's on 9000 south 2200 west and it was awesome we got some perfect pumpkins and had so much fun dani even put up with mom taking a million pictures.

Doctor time!
Peanut had her 2 year check up today, complete with flu shot and sucker afterwards. She is over 97% in height and 85% in weight, she's just our big girl, dr lei was very impressed that she knows all her colors and animals even though she pointed to a giraffe and called it a llama.
We are just so thankful to have a happy healthy girl who is becoming such a little person.

Cheese!!!!!
I have a wonderful friend who I'm lucky to call a neighbor too! She took us out to daybreak and took our pictures for dani's 2nd birthday and updated family pictures and they are amazing!!!

My name is Amanda, and I am a horrible blogger
Yes, I know it's been almost two years since the last post and I suck, but I'm back and ready to update and push forward.
So let's catch up peanut turned one then two and she is amazing.... She loves moo's and green and mac n' cheese, her favorite people are dad, gamma, and gampa, and beastie she knows all her colors and we are slowly but surely trying to potty train (wish us luck)
Dev turned 30 this year the big 3-0 and guess what nothing changed except he got older oh and he is bearded but I love it he looks less baby faced which I like
We are both still at smiths and we love it, even with all the crazy some days I still love my job besides I drug people and take their money, and somedays I get a hug from someone's grandma and I love it.
I also extreme coupon yes I know, ugh!! But in my defense I don't hold up a line and I only buy things we use, we have saved a ton on our budgets and I have a huge food storage and personal items ( I.e. laundry detergent, soap, cleaners, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.)
So that's us in a nut shell so far I will try and post more soon.

some days i count my blessings twice
time... its a funny thing i look back now and think WOW if you would have told me ten years ago, heck 5 years ago this is where i'd be i wouldnt have believed you but i am so thankful im here i have so much more than i ever thought worthy of, and since this is the time of year that makes me remember all that i have, i thought i'd write about it what im thankful for..
first-----my parents--- im an only child so in lamens terms that means i had no one in my house hold to blame anything on, it sucks looking back but the greatest thing about being an only child is you dont have to share, your parents that is, i know that sounds selfish and it i,s i would love to share but since i dont have to i wont, i will however share anything else.
my parents are amazing they are the two most in love people i have ever known they have that "perfect" marriage the kind where you just hate those two people, yep thats them but i dont hate it. i loved growing up knowing my parents were so happy they gave me a great example of what i needed and deserved in a spouse, how to be a good person and accept everyone just as they are, and most of all they have taught me unconditional love. trust me i know they love me it took a couple of years and a lot of mistakes to make up for but they never left my side i have put them through a lot more than they should have had to put up with but they did and they did it every day and their love never changed, it never went away they were always there to help me pick up the pieces.
my mom always told me i wish you could learn from my mistakes but you can't, so you'll have to make your own, but you'll always be loved thats why its called unconditional love.
and believe me i made mistakes i dont have to go into details they are in the past and im one of those people that like keeping certain memories buried, but what i will always remember is they were there when no one else was. you know friends will come and go but your family will always be there and i know that for a fact.
second ----my love devin----you know i dont believe in love at first sight, i dont believe in soul mates but i knew the moment i met dev i would never be the same. I met dev on may 15th, 2006 i know creepy i know the exact date but thats only because thats the day my work started their remodel, a few months prior to meeting dev i had broken up with someone i had been seeing on and off for over 2 years and because of that train wreck of a "thing" i swore i wouldnt be marrying let alone dating exclusively for a long time, i had also slumped into a deep depression I honestly couldnt remember how long it had been since i was truly happy, then it happened i walked into work and met him, this tall red headed kid who was happy and funny.
he was there at the pharmacy helping out over the summer to save up to go back to school in the fall so he was temporary help. he was the kind of guy i instantly wanted to impress, but i was in a slump i wasn't friendly nor as outgoing as i once was, so i tried.
he made me laugh that first day and i remember feeling so happy after i had gotten out of work even though it had been such a crappy day at work.
i found myself staying late picking up extra shifts just to see him, just to work with him. i even came in and helped set up the pharmacy over night just to be with him. and that night we got finished at 2 a.m. then went to denny's for breakfast. i know this sounds like everything is going great but there was one minor detail i have left out he had a girlfriend, yep, but if it makes you feel any better he didnt like her, yeah dev has told me that phrase so many times just to make me feel better, it didnt make me feel any better.
soon after dev took me on our first official date, he took me out so that i would pick up a shift at work cause he didnt like the girl who's shift it was, so he offered to take me to dinner if i worked it, so i did, he took me to a thai restaurant it was okay all i remember is making a mess cause you had to eat with your hands and feeling stupid cause it was gross and sticky.
after that we became friends i saw him daily, we talked about everything he reminded me of well me, he wasnt anything like i had ever dated he was wonderful he treated me great, and for once in a long time i was happy, then it came time for him to leave to go back to school, and since we were "just friends" nothing more cause thats what he wanted he told me constantly were just friends right? and of course i agreed, he left the end of august i remember cause i took im over a box of treats and told him it was so he wouldnt forget me. i remember crying on the car ride home, silly i know i look back now and am very embarrassed, cause i cried, stupid me, but you have to remember he had become my best friend.
i talked to him every night and every other weekend he came up to work a shift and i would see him after he got off, and every so often i went down to ephraim and visited him. then in november we had decided maybe we weren't just friends he came down for break and a week later we were official and a few days after that engaged it wasnt this overly romantic or surprise actually he was holding the door open for me and said you know were going to have cute kids someday and i joked and said oh dev do you want to marry me. then later that night he said yeah i do want to marry you and so it was.
its not a romantic story but its a true story, my story and im so thankful for it, im thankful for him that every day despite what i look like or feel like when i get up he loves me he tells me how pretty i am and how happy i make him, i love that every day i will laugh at least once usually more but at least once i love that no matter how stupid or gross the joke is he knows i will love it.
i love it cause he's my best friend every day, i get to spend with him is more than i deserve.
third----dani----aka peanut i never thoughti wanted to be a mom, that sounds bad let me rephrase i never knew i wanted to be a mom then i became one, i knew dani was a girl from the moment i knew i was pregnant and i talked to her all the time i remember being pregnant and i thought she could hear my thoughts stupid i know, but i did. dont get me wrong some days its hard i get depressed, overwhelmed, and cry for no reason but then i see her and she smiles and it makes it better. she is innocent she is the best part of me i could give, the unselfish part, everyday i am amazed by her shes so smart and curious and loving. she doesnt have a bad bone in her she hasnt been tainted with the world yet and im thankful for that i remember how much it sucked being a kid i remember getting teased and i remember getting my feelings hurt and when you're young it destroys your world, and thats why im thankful she hasnt had heart ache yet, shes beautiful.
shes mine i knew it the moment i saw her i saw me in her and that scared me i never realized i could love something so instantly, i would and will do anything for her shes mine and she always will be and for that i am thankful.

peanut's first christmas
me and dev are just like kids still we love staying up late and on christmas we get up early, even though we knew what we were getting. we got peanut up at 7:30 a.m. and i carried her down the stairs to see the tree and all the gifts santa had left her eyes lit up and she did say oooo but then got hungry and fell asleep, an hour later my mom and dad and grandma came over to open presents with us. and lets face it anytime my mom and dad can they come over to see peanut the love her so much if she wasnt my baby i might be a little jealous.
all in all it was a fantastical christmas i was excited all night long to get up and just see how peanut would react. dev held her and opened her gifts for her she made it through 5 presents before she fell asleep. adorable.
at 10:30 we went to devs parents so that dev could talk to his brother who is on a mission in kentucky, it was a short phone call but i know it meant alot to dev he misses his brother alot and its weird that our lives have changed so much since he has left i was only 3 months pregnant when he left and peanut will be a year and a half when he returns crazy!
after that we came home and took naps it was a glorious christmas!
