Massive Snow Storm in Williston

Saturdays snow storm left the West side of North Dakota in mounds of snow and the biggest black out in history. Williston got the worst of it and Vern has been freezing his but off due to no heat. Power is still out and they have no idea when it will be turned back on. Hundreds of polls are down and the main power line is toast. Vern and his roommate ran a power cord from the truck to their second story hotel room just so they can charge there phones. I'm not sure what Mother Nature is up too but its way too cold for May! 

Everyone seams to be worried.

I had a very long conversation with Vern today. We plan on getting a few bills paid off this May. Starting in June we will be applying for a home loan. We have decided to buy Casey's boss' house. Its a three bed two bath double wide mobile home. She is selling it for $115,000. If things go well and we get the ball rolling on the loan and closing Ali and I will be leaving Salt Lake around the first week of July. So all of you that are upset and angry that we are leaving you have about 2 months to get all your "spending time" in with Ali.

I want everyone to know that Vern and I took awhile to come up with this decision. Its in our family's best interest to be together where ever it may be. As of now that is in North Dakota. Its a 14 1/2 hr drive. Approximately 996 miles. Or its a $500 round trip flight. (Gas is about $490 round trip)

The up side to this is that Its going to be cheaper and easier for Ali and I to come visit everyone in Salt Lake rather then Vern take time off and come visit us. So please don't worry about never seeing Ali again or forgetting who you all are. We wont be gone long. 3-4 years is all.

I do plan on making a photo album for Alexis so that she can see every ones faces and know who they are. We also have Skype and its only $18 for a web cam at Walmart and Skype is free.

I love you all.

The Beggining of our new transtion

As you all may know Vern has been up in North Dakota for four months and is doing great. However, the 1000 miles between us is more then we can bare. In these next few weeks I will be getting rid of almost all of our possessions. Only keeping the important stuff... pots, pans, plates, the bed and Alexis' stuff. As of right now we are officially house hunting in North Dakota. In order to get Alexis and myself up there with Vern, we have to buy a house. There is absolutely no available rentals. Which is fine by me. I'd rather live in my own house. Think its about time anyway. When we move we need to take as little as possible. The smaller the Uhaul the better. Like I said before it is a 1000 mile drive.

During these next few years I want to keep a blog. Keep everyone updated on our progress to a better life for our children. Let everyone know how Vern does in work and how I cope with out my Friends and Family. Its going to be tuff but the important thing is that we'll be together. No matter where we go in life, as long as we have each other nothing can stop us! We hope for all your love and support in these next few years.

Finaly over the Sickness!

Its been a week and I'm finally over being sick! I was able to work out today with out passing out or having massive pain in my chest! Lets just say that P90X kicks my but!!!! I did Legs and Abs today and I feel like a blob of Jello sitting on a very unsteady plate!

Vern is doing well. He has been out in the Field for 5 days now and he loves it! Everything he tells me about it i just hold my tongue and try not to tell him that I hate his job! Its so dangerous it scares me! I make sure to tell him that I love him and for him to be careful every night before he goes to sleep. He wakes up at 5:45a everyday and gets off work at 6 or 7pm every night. Hes not aloud to work after dark. His job is too important to get anything wrong and they believe that day light is better light then lamps! He already starts over time tomorrow. He also gets his first check on Tuesday! I'm so excited to finally have money. He said that most likely he will be home on March 24th and is hoping to stay 10-14 days. If he is unable to take that much time off it will only be 7 days. I don't really care how long he's home I just want to hold him and kiss him and sleep next to him.

Its been 4 weeks already and as i look back its gone by pretty fast. Now looking ahead it seams like a long time.

Valentines day!

Today is Valentines day and it will be the first one in 7 years that ill will spend with out the one I love so deeply! Vern has been gone for 4 weeks now and I'm really feeling lonely! Is mine and Vern's 5th V day together and we get to spend it 1000 miles apart. I kinda wish I would have flown out there just for the night! But that cost money that we dont have. I miss him so much. I don't know how people in the military do it. they go 6+ months with out seeing there other halves.
I'm going to be spending the night with Allie Debbie and Summer over at Hollywood Connections. It will be fun being just the girls tonight!
Happy Valentines to everyone!

Super Bowl

Its Super Bowl Sunday and its going to be a great game! Green Bay Packers!!! Woot woot!  and the Pittsburgh Steelers, Boo Boo. I'm a die hard GB fan! Its been 7 years since GB has been to the super bowl. This will be the Steelers 7th time. Its going to be a glorious day when Dan Rodgers takes the gold home!!!
I planned a party but the only people who are coming are My sisters and family and Jon. Oh well. I couldn't get a hold of anybody but Les and they are going to her sisters house. Guess its Austins girlfriends birthday as well.
More good eats for me!
Kinda wish I would have went out to Wendover last night with Krista. Well things happen!

GOOOOO GREEENNNN BBBBBAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 weeks

As of today I will be seeing Vern in four weeks. I'm so excited to finally know exactly when I'll see him. Its been hard these past few days. Mario, Casey's friend, had failed his drug test and lost his job. Along with his apartment that they all were staying in. So today I called everywhere to help find them a hotel they could stay in till an apartment opened up for them. Vern's company doesn't have apartments like Mario's did but they do have contracts with some hotels. They will be staying at The Vegas in Williston.
Vern starts his job tomorrow so its good that they found a place today, that way he wont have to be all stressed out this week. Now the real hard part starts. He'll be working so much I wont get to talk to him that often and when I do it will be during weird hours. I hope it wont be too much harder. I don't know if I could do it.
