BEC AND I HAVE GONE TO SCHOOL TOGETHER LITTERALLY SINCE PRESCHOOL. OUR FRIENDSHIP STARTED IN MISS BASKUM'S? (I SPELLED THAT SO WRONG.) CLASS. WE WERE FRIENDS AT FIRST SITE. I AM SO HAPPY FOR BEC TO HAVE FOUND SUCH A GREAT GUY DAVE SEEMS LIKE A GREAT CATCH AND WILL FIT IN GREAT WITH THE LESH FAM! THEY GOT MARRIED AT DRAPER TEMPLE AND HAD THEIR RECEPTION AT MILLENIAL FALLS IT WAS SO PRETTY BECCA LOOKED BEAUTIFUL!! GOOD LUCK YOU TWO... PS MADDOX ASAP!!














CHICAGO AND WISCONSIN FOR OUR 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY (LATE BUT WORTH THE WAIT)
LIKE I SAID A FEW MONTHS AGO, I SURPRISED JASON WITH GREEN BAY vs VICKING TICKETS. WE WENT TO WISCONSIN TO WATCH THE GAME AT LAMBEAU FIELD!
WE STARTED OFF IN CHICAGO AND VISITED THE HILTON'S. JASON'S FRIENDS ADAM AND SARAH MOVED TO CHICAGO THE YEAR WE GOT MARRIED SO ADAM COULD GO TO SCHOOL. IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE THEM AND SEE CHICAGO. IT IS BEATIFUL ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL WITH THE TREE LINED STREETS LIKE IN THE MOVIES WITH THE AMAZING HOSUES, YEAH WE WANT TO GO BACK FOR SURE. THE WEATHER WAS REALLY NICE, A LITTLE CHILLY AND NIGHT BUT GREAT DURING THE DAY. THEN WE DROVE TO WISCONSIN AND DROVE TO THE RAIN. YEAH IT RAINED ALL DAY EVERYDAY..
THE FIRST DAY WE SPENT AT THE JERSEY SHOPS LOOKING FOR OUR GREEN BAY APPERAL AND THEN HEADED TO THE BRET FAVRE STEAK HOUSE. IT WAS SO YUMMY! THE SECOND DAY, STILL RAINING WE RELAXED IN THE HOTEL AND WENT TO THE STADIUM AND THE SHOPS THEY HAVE THERE. THEN WENT TO THE MALL FOR A BIT (TO KILL TIME, THAT'S HOW EXCITING IT WAS) WE WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL AND DECIDED TO GO TO A MOVIE. HAHA WHO DOESN'T GO TO A MOVIE WHEN THEY ARE ON A VACA? WE SAY THE TOWN. WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL AND WENT TO BED..EXCITING HUH?? THEN SUNDAY CAME IT RAINED ALL MORNING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN AROUNG 3 IT STOPPED FOR GOOD! IT WAS THE PERFECT FOOTBALL WEATHER FOR THE 7:00 pm NIGHT GAME. I WORE A SWEATSHIRT AND WAS FINE. JASON WAS WORRIED I WAS GOING TO BE FREEZING AND WET. IT WAS SUPPOSE TO RAIN THE WHOLE TIME. WE LUCKED OUT FOR SURE. GREEN BAY WISCONSIN INS'T AS EXCITING AS CHICAGO SO WE HAD A VERY RELAXING WEEKEND WITH 2 HOUR NAPS A DAY AND PRETTY MUCH STAYING IN BED ALL MORNING. IT WAS AMAZING, JUST WHAT WE NEEDED. NO SCHEDULE JUST WHATEVER JASON WANTED TO DO ON HIS FOOTBALL DREAM TRIP. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW JASON, HE DOESN'T SHOW EXCITMENT VERY WELL, SO THE WHOLE WEEKEND I WAS THINKING I DIDN'T DO A VERY GOOD JOB ON CHOOSING WHERE WE SHOULD GO FOR OUR 1 YEAR. (JASON WANTED TO DO A WEEK AT THE BEACH) SO I WAS KINDA BUMMED...SUNDAY MORNING CAME AND HE WAS LIKE A KID ON CHRISTMAS MORNING ALL GUN HO IN HIS PACKERS GET UP AND WANTED TO TAILGATE AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. DUE TO THE BAD WEATHER PEOPLE WEREN'T OUT AS EARLY AS WE WERE TOLD. PLUS WITH JUST THE TWO OF US TAILGATING WAS AS FUN AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN. NEXT TIME WE ARE BRINGING A GROUP OF PEOPLE AND GOING ALL OUT. WE ATE AT CURLY'S PUB AND WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL TO TAKE A PRE GAME NAPPER. THEN BACK TO THE STADIUM WE WENT TO WAIT BY THE DOORS TO GO TO THE FIELD WE WERE PRETTY CLOSE TO BEING THE FIRST 20 PEOPLE IN THE STADIUM IT WAS SO COOL. JASON WAS SO EXCITED. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE HIM GET ALL GIDDY AND GO TO THE FRONT ROW TO WATCH THE PLAYERS WARM UP. HE STOOD THERE FOR PROBABLY 15 MINUTES JUST WATCHING. SO SWEET. THE GAME WAS AWESOME AND TO MAKE IT BETTER WE WON. GO PACKS!!
O YEAH THE CHICAGO PIZZA WE HAD IN THE CAR ON THE WAY TO WISCONSIN..BAD IDEA...GOOD PIZZA...IT WAS SO THICK, WE TRIED TO COMPARE IT TO MY FINGER... DOES IT HELP???





BRETT'S STEAKHOUSE.

I LOVE YOU JASON AND AM SO GLAD YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE. IT HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE WE SHARE. I AM ONE LUCKY GIRL, I CAN'T SAY THAT ENOUGH. THANKS FOR THE BEST FIRST YEAR OF OUR LIVES!! LOVE YOU ALWAYS!












BACK TO REALITY... WELL I GOT A NEW JOB. YEAH I'M EVERYWHERE THESE DAYS. SINCE SCHOOL DIDN'T WORK OUT I DIDN'T NEED TO WORK NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS LIKE WE PLANNED SO I WENT PART TIME AT BUCKLE AND STARTED WORKING AT A PHYSICAL THERAPY OFFICE, I LOVE IT THE GALS I WORK WITH ARE AMAZING AND SO FUN.

HALLOWEEN CAME AND WENT AGAIN AT THE TIME PLUIM HOUSE, J AND I AGREED TO DRESS UP EVERY OTHER YEAR, SO THAT WOULD BE THIS YEAR. HE GOT OUT OF IT AGAIN. SO WE WENT ON A GROUP DATE WITH THE SPARKS AND SOME FRIENDS OF THEIRS GOT SOME PIZZA AND THEN MET UP WITH THE THOMPSON'S FOR A MOVIE. I FORGOT WHAT WE SAW, AND JASON IS ASLEEP SO YEAH.... BAD MEMORY. SORRY.

ANYWHO, GOOD NEWS JASON ISN'T DOING NIGHTS YET! HE WAS SUPPOSE TO GO BACK TO THE HELL SHIFT IN NOVEMBER BUT THINGS CHANGED AND I GET TO KEEP MY HUBBY! THANKS BLUE BEACON!!

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, I HOPE WE DIDN'T BORE YOU WITH ALL OUR CHANGES. I'LL TRY TO DO BETTER AND POST BEFORE NEXT WEEK.
