A post of many ramblings. What's on my mind right now....

It's Friday. Friday. Getting down on Friday.

Or however that songs goes...

Yeah it's Friday night and I am blog stocking.

I am lazy and tired.

And lucky me gets to open the daycare tomorrow bright and early at 5 in the AM.

This week has been so long long long week.

I am SOOO looking forward to The Christensen Family Reunion in K-town.

I can't wait to see my family and for everyone to FINALLY see the Kingman house!!!

It's going to be so much fun!

I am also trying to manage the time I am spending at work...

I feel bad. I go to work before Chris, and I am still usually at work when he gets off.

I feel like I have been neglecting my honey pretty bad...

I have been grouchy.

Very short with Chris.

Onery.

Oh did I mention GROUCHY.

Honestly my name could be Oscar the Grouch and I could live in a garbage can on Sesame Street.

So needless to say I left work early on Wednesday to have some much needed "Tori and Chris" time.

And it was lovely and wonderful.

I really appreciate Chris for all the many things he does for me.

From the little to the big things I love it all...

Brings me drinks to work.

Lunch dates.

Always calling and checking up on me.

Making sure I am ok.

Letting me take naps.

Making me dinner.

Cheering me up.

Giving me hugs.

His kisses.

Always looking out for me.

Our daily walks with Lola.

(Oh by the way we got a dog. She's a boxer. Her name is Lola and she is 1 and a half years old)

Laughing together.

Grocery Store Runs.

Wrestling.

Watching my shows with me.

Just every little and big thing we do.

We do it together.

It means so much to me.

And I love him.

Anywho...

 upon my blog stocking I came across a really really awesome blog that I feel in love with for a few reasons...

1. I love quotes.

2. It has pretty awesome quotes.

3. Just because it's something fun and new.

Its called Things We Forget.

It's pretty awesome.

And I think it'll help me blog more often, I hope.

If I find a good quote on it I am going to use it and quote about it.

Like this one...

Chris offered some advice like this to me so I think this one is perfect.

I just gotta remember to take things one thing at a time.

And not get overwhelmed.

And not bring my work home with me.

It may be hard at first but I know I can do it,

I have had two good days without being grouchy and I am very happy.

Thanks Honey!!!

I love you!

Fourth Of July Weekend

Warning: I only took like two pics this whole weekend, so this is a post without pictures sorry.

For the longest time I kept asking Chris what do you wanna do for the 4th of July.

I kept telling him how much I love the 4th and how it's my very most favorite holiday of the year.

So I knew my parents were going to go boating but later that week I found out that my boss was going out of town and that I had to close the daycare Friday night and I had to open Saturday morning and I had to close that night.

So Chris was like let's go up to Richfield.

I will always tell him how much I love the 4th Of July in Richfield.

It's the best Holiday ever. I just go on and on about this lovely holiday.

When he told me that I was SOOO excited!!!

I hurried and facebooked my Aunt Sheila and my cousin Melissa.

I told them I had some really exciting news.

My Aunt Sheila thought I was telling her that I was engaged. I just laughed.

So mine and Chris' original plan was to head up to Richy on Sunday the 3rd.

But Friday night Addie called me and told me that the boat broke down and I honestly thought she was kidding. But she wasn't.

So my parents and Addie decided to come up to Richy for the 4th too.

So I called my dad and we had the idea that Chris and I could just ride up with my family to Richy. 

My dad was nice enough to wait for Chris and I to get off work.

We ended up leaving STG around 6 on Saturday night.

We got to Richy around 8.

And we met up with everyone at Grandma C's.

It was so nice to see my Aunt She, Ty Ty, Rish and Grandma B,

The Barclay family man I've missed them sooo much!

It was also nice to FINALLY meet my adorable twin cousins. Gavin and Emma and to see Chad and Aubs too they are soo sweet!

Grandma made us all some delicious grilled cheese sandwiches, they were divine!

I love both my Grandma C's and my nanny's cooking!

We visited at Grandmas with everyone for a while and then my family headed over to my Nanny's.

That's where we stayed.

It was nice to visit with Nanny. I love her!

We had a lovely Sunday at church and then had an amazing Sunday dinner that my Nanny made us.

We had our usual Sunday night visit at Grandma C's.

Ate way too much and just had a great time.

My Uncle Kyle and his family arrived that night. I haven't seen them in about 2 and a half years.

I can't believe how big and tall all of his kids are. 4 out of the 6 kids are taller than me. How hard is that tho.

I woke up on the 4th to the cannons.

Then went back to sleep for a bit.

Then woke back up to curl mine and Addie's hair.

Got ready.

Made Chris some breakfast and we were off to the parade.

I loved the parade just showing Chris everything and telling him who was who.

I think he got a bit overwhelmed.

Then he left and went golfing with my parents. He thought I was going to go with him and I just kinda laughed... Me and golf don't go to well together.

Plus I wanted to go to the park and enjoy the festives there.

And I had to get some snow cones and cotton candy!

It was good to see some old friends and catch up with them.

I also got to hear my cousin Tyler sing at the park and he did an amazing job!

After the park we headed over to my grandmas had some lunch.

It can't be any time with my family if we don't play sports.

So we found a gym and played some Christensen family Basketball.

It was fun and mine and Chris' team dominated everytime.

We also got to play a little volleyball. That was great fun as well.

Then we had our famous 4th of July dinner at Grandmas.

We made Chris try everything from: punchie, white stuff, bbq turkey, frog eye, potato salad, frog eye, peanut butter bars and fruit salad. 

Out of everything he tried I think he liked the peanut butter bars and frog eye best!

We couldn't stay for the fire works, we had to head back home because we all had work the next day :(

All in all it was an amazing 4th of July.

I am so glad Chris got to meet everyone and see what a Richfield 4th of July is all about!
