Love Like Crazy

When I read Day 1- Your favorite song, I paniced. If anybody knows me, they know how much I LOVE music, picking a favorite song, is almost imposible to me. I have always like the Song "Standing outside the fire" by Garth Brooks. It has always been a great reminder about how I want to live my life. However, This is Rob and I's blog, so I thought I would do a song for both of us. The song I chose was "Love like Crazy" by Lee Brice. I love this song (if you couldnt tell by the blog title, and the lyrics in the blog title.) This is exactly how I want my love to be. I think it has great advice, and I love the music. my favorite part is "Never get to old to call her Baby." and "Overuse I love you." I have given the music video, and the lyrics, I hope you enjoy!



Love Like Crazy- Lee Brice.
They called him crazy when they started out
Said seventeen's too young to know what loves about
They've been together fifty-eight years now
That’s crazy

He brought home sixty-seven bucks a week
He bought a little 2 bedroom house on Maple Street
Where she blessed him with six more mouths to feed
Yeah that’s crazy

Just ask him how he did it; he'll say pull up a seat
It'll only take a minute, to tell you everything
Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy

They called him crazy when he quit his job
Said them home computers, boy they'll never take off
He sold his one man shop to Microsoft
They paid like crazy

Just ask him how he made it
He'll tell you faith and sweat
And the heart of a faithful woman,
Who never let him forget

Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense
Never let your prayin knees get lazy
And love like crazy

Always treat your woman like a lady
Never get too old to call her baby
Never let your prayin knees get lazy
And love like crazy

They called him crazy when they started out
They've been together fifty-eight years now

Ain't that crazy?

Crazy is what we do best!

I feel like I should blog more, but I can never find the time to do so. This summer seemed crazy with all of our "mini-vacations." I was always excited to go, but I was also excited for a quiet weekend at home too. I guess Im still waiting for that relaxing weekend. Since Bear Lake, a lot has been added to, or changed in our everyday activities. Here are a few updates.
Rob has started as the assistant manager at the Milcreek branch. Rob started at this branch, and was really excited to get back there. He is really enjoying it. He has also started School. He is taking 2 classes, a math class, and a criminal justice class. Softball has started up again. and He has taken up Golf. He is injoying it, and its a nice way to enjoy the last of the summer heat, and bring in the cool autumn weather.
As for me, In mid to late August, we had some changes in managment at work, which led to a promotion for me. I am now the team lead for the disclosure department. Its been good learning a lot of new information. Along with the promotion, It came along with a lot more overtime. I worked 23 days in a row (including Saturdays and Sundays)I always feel exhausted, but the check and the experiences are nice. I am also hoping to learn how to sew. My mom and sister Brittany, are great, and Im hoping I can pick up a new hobby. Maybe I will have a creative outlet after all. I've also had the oppertunity to surround myself with great friends from high school. We went to lunch on a Saturday, and I hope its something we can continue to do.
Other than that, Rob and I are trying to find a place to move to when our lease is up in December, so if you have any suggestions, please let us know!

Fairwell to a great man




On September 8th, 2010 my Grandpa Luing Passed away. It was a bittersweet day for all of us, and everyone that knew him. I was up at my sister Brittany's house, when she got a call from my mom, saying the Hospice nurse didnt think Grandpa would make it through tomorrow night. I left her house right away, taking my Nephew Konnor with me for support. I got there as fast as I could, trying to explain to Kon what we were doing. Kon is a 5 year old, and I hoped and prayed I was saying the right things, so he would understand. When we got there, I was able to sneek down and have a few moments alone with my grandpa, and say goodbye. I was also able to see Kon come down, and give "Papa-great" a kiss and tell him that he loved him. My grandpa didnt say anything, but He would squeeze my hand to answer my questions. My sister mindi was the last of my siblings to arrive at about 6:55PM, at 7:00, My grandpa took his final breath, and returned to his heavenly father, with his loved ones surrounding him. Grandpa was diagnosed with Cancer about 9 years ago, then he was in remission. In early August, we were told that they doctors only thought he had 6 months left.

A short update

Hello Fellow bloggers! I wanted to post a short blog bit about the past weekend, and ask a few questions to you. First of all, this Past weekend Rob and I had the oppertunity to go up to Bear Lake with some of Robs Family. It was a lot of fun! We were down there half of Friday, and got back late Sunday night. We played on the Boat, and on the four-wheelers. It was a lot of fun getting to know Robs sisters and their husbands more, and it was fun to be back up to Bear Lake with Rob. Rob and I went up to bear lake August 8th 2009 (give or take a few days) Rob and I had only known each other a week or so, but I went with him, and that is where I met his Parents, and some siblings. I was nervous that first time, but after a while, I knew they were an amazing group of people. It was also where Rob wanted to kiss me for the first time. We were on the 4 wheeler going up to a resevour, but for some funny reasons, he couldnt find the right time to do it. There was a guy shooting a gun into a little lake, there was a huge family in the clearing, and Robs brother tried following us at first. It just wasnt ment to be. The funny thing about it all, was on this trip, Rob and I decided to take a quick ride up to the resevoir, and on the way up, the four wheeler died, and we had to push it back. I guess I am never going to get a kiss up at the resevoir. LOL. All in all the trip was a lot of fun. It was relaxing, and I love having time with family. I am truly blessed with all the family we have, on both sides.

On an unrelated note, I am wondering if anybody has some good easy recipies for yummy meals, and if anybody has any tips on saving money while grocery shopping. I have been seriously lacking on making dinner, and I really want to get back into the habit. Thanks in advance!!

On the Road again!

This last weekend, Rob and I decided to go on a road trip to Oakland California to watch the A's Play the Texas Rangers.It was a long roadtrip. We left Friday night around 7:30PM, got to Oakland around 10AM, just in time for Batting Practice to Start. The game ended at about 4:00PM, and we headed right home after a short nap in some little place called Lovelock, NV. Rob Played Baseball with one of the Pitchers on the Rangers, Colby Lewis, so we decided to go watch him play. When we got the tickets to the game, He was scheduled to pitch for us, however, Cliff Lee got a headcold, and it switched the order. So we ended up seeing Harden Pitch. Either way, it was a lot of fun. Here are a few pictures.



Next stop: Hopefully Yankee Stadium (as well as a game in Philly, and DC!)

Random Summer Fun

This summer has been so much fun! I just wanted to highlight a few different fun weekends we have had. First of all, we went to my first Dodger Game the last weekend of June. It was a last minute trip and Our friends Tony and Loni came with us. It was a lot of time in the car, but it was well worth it. We also stoped in Las Vegas and played there for a few hours. It was a lot of fun, and Im excited to go to another Dodger game, and Vegas again.



The second thing we did was we went to Centeral Utah for the 4th of July with Tony and Loni. We visited with Loni's family. We went to 2 parades, a rodeo, and had an awesome firework display at Loni's parents house. It was a lot of fun.



This last Slide show is a hoopla of pictures, it was a fun week or so. Robs Sister Kim came into town from California, and we went with Momma Carter and got pedicures. Then the following wednesday Robs Younger Brother returned from His full time Mission in Mexico. It was really fun to meet him for the first time, and see his family see him again. the last few pictures are from Rob's Family reunion in Colorado. I had so much fun in Colorado meeting family. We left to drive to Colorado on thursday Morning, Rob was unable to get that Thursday and Friday off, so he flew in on Saturday Morning. It was hard being away from him for 2 days, but I think it was the best thing for me, It made me be more out-going while meeting Robs cousins that he grew up that I had never met. I loved everyone! he has the best family ever, they are all so friendly and funny. I love them all so much, and hope we are able to see each other soon, or in the least, keep in touch. Its so much fun having a big family!
