saying goodbye...

Dear Readers,

I had to say goodbye in the last week, and it was harder than I thought. I had been up and down and all around in my car, but the time had come to wish it farewell.

 
 You see, I am a serious commuter. I drive close to two hours daily on this road...


 which happens to be where these fellows roam and play...


  
Cowboy was worried about this happening....


so he decided I needed something bigger, higher, and stronger. He has had issues with Subaru cars and the stigma that comes with them as long as I've know him. He almost thought twice about dating me, because well, I drove a Subaru. Silly Willy! Well, after considering all of our options and thinking about which vehicle might fit our needs the best, we ended up at the Subaru dealership. We are now very 'proud' owners of this gem...

 I know it doesn't look bigger, higher, and stronger...but oh, it is. It single handily changed cowboy's mind about Subaru cars. He thinks it's cool, and I might think the same thing. Here is to increased clearance and safety, and a warm bum.

Here's another great announcement. Evan is getting married!
He is marrying a Hannah girl, and I am very excited for their upcoming nuptials.


May she always be allowed to wear ear plugs whenever she wants.

 I also feel like this is worth sharing, even if it is a vain item to blog about. I purchased and wore floral skinny pants. My cowboy doesn't know yet, and I am sure kind words will flow from his mouth when he sees them for the first time. My mom was with me when they were discovered and purchased, and her encouragement was just what I needed. They make me smile, and I just read in my scriptures that every good thing comes from God. I believe this even applies to a fun pair of modest clearance pants.


They just might go great with my muck boots too, the bogs. 

Who knew chores and manure could be faced with such floral fashion.

Sincerely,
the accidental Arco girl

Dear A, It's your birthday. I thought I would jot down some notes on what it feels like to live, breathe, and be at this stage in your life. 1. Last night your husband realized that a cake could be nice for your birthday. He panicked, because there is no place to purchase one in the middle of no where. You got nominated to make your own cake. It's going to be delicious. 2. You teach 7th and 8th graders. You've been working on diagramming simple subjects, simple predicates, prepositional phrases, and articles. It is always delightful.  3. You have been great at exercising at least 30 minutes each day. 4. You are attempting to teach piano to three students. It's not your favorite thing, but you're learning to enjoy it. 5. You love your green smoothie each morning. 6. The minimum you drive each day is 120 miles. 7. Cowboy and you are in a good scripture reading/praying groove. You even have FHE each Monday. 8. There is no snow to been had or seen in yo...

the middle of somewhere

I was sitting here contemplating what fun/project cowboy will have scheduled for us this weekend. Sigh! The past two weekends, my muscles and patience were tested with digging post holes and building fence. I didn't get to do one thing that I wanted! So, not wanting to think about this weekend's hard work, my mind remembered my blog. I haven't thought of it or looked at it for a good bit. So, here I am! I glanced at my last blog post, which was written almost two years ago. It's crazy to look back and remember where I was and where I ended up today. I called my mom at the beginning of the week, and she was telling me about when she and my dad started dating. They were chuckling while remembering, but that is a moment that needed to happen to get from that point to this point. So, here's to progress - good, bad, ugly, fun, and sad! 1. We bought a house, and it wasn't a moment too soon. The home we purchased was an old home that had...
