Life as we know it...

The holidays have come and gone and we're back to reality. My posts of family and friends and good holiday cheer have ended for now. It's back to the reality of work, eat, sleep..repeat. I decided to post what we really do on a daily basis..Ok, not even me...what Tyler does on a daily basis. I have no drama in my life. Same routine everyday. Below are the projects Tyler gets to tackle for the next year. 4 of the 5 motels are hours away so he spends the week there and we finally get to see each other on the weekends. Well sweety, good thing we've got eternity to be with each other!


Don't worry, the bedspreads have already been replaced. The next step is tiling over that lovely orange linoleum in the bathrooms. We are also putting flat screen TV's in the rooms, thanks Costco! Thanks Pocatello for finally getting a Costco!! Why do I live here again? It's pretty depressing when the "big store" comes to town and the whole city celebrates.

Luckily the floors in Lava weren't so bad. Too bad you can't see the sinks so well, they voluntarily fall off the wall while guests are in there! Nice! We've had this motel for about year and have had our hands full!

Yea!! New mattresses!!

Yes, this is my life. Being excited about tile, sinks, bedspreads and mattresses. Also, we love getting the looks in Costco or any store when we buy 2 pallets of Laundry soap or Bleach. Tyler tells people, "we just really like to be clean" or 18 TV's.."one for each room". It's always a good time! Tyler loves his job and I love that he is self-employed. He is happy, I am happy and we love life...our life as we know it!

Christmas!

This is the gift that Tyler gave me...nice wrapping! What could it be?! YEA!! My picture that I've wanted!! Tyler got an X-Box 360, I'd say we were even!

Christmas at my parents house in our Red and Green PJ's.

We were also able to go to Temple Square with the adults after our dinner at Rodizio's (yum, yum!)

We had such a good time in Utah for Christmas. With Tyler's parents living down there now we are able to see both families. Now the work begins in taking down all the Christmas decorations and the tree. Happy New Year, we'll see what this year brings!

AND THE WINNER IS....

Christmas was great for us this year. We got to spend it with my family in Utah for the first time in 3 years. Its a tradition for my family to do Ginger Bread Houses a couple weeks before and then Tyler and I judge them when we get to Utah. Here are the houses and awards. The "siding" is made out of gum split in two and pasted on. Alot of time went into all these.

This one was supposed to be a "Tree-Ginger Bread House." The tree part ended up breaking. Good 'ole Santa in the chimney or Rupunzel Santa...not quite sure but it sure turned out cute.

"Best use of candy" thanks to my 5 year old nephew and lots of frosting and tons of space to put whatever you want on it.

Best design for the Landscaping and stone work on the house~
