The little things do reproduce!
So just an update on the whole bee situation. I stopped by my moms last night to, um, well, to borrow a bra because we were going up to a soccer game and mine broke at dinner and the wire was piercing my armpit and seeing as though we live in the boonies...yeah well anyways the whole bra dilemma could be a post in itself. So on to the bee story. As I opened the door to leave my mom's I saw something quite wierd. I said to my mom, "What in the world is that thing?" It was kind of sitting in one main spot kind of flying back and forth in that main little area in front of her door. Well, to my disgust we finally looked really close and saw that it was two bees hooked together. Yes, they were mating and multiplying right in front of my eyse. Oh, what? You think it is a coincedence. Ridiculous! Those little bees saw me coming and said, "Let's mock that lady and show her that we are procreating and building up our army to attack her." Out of all the times they could have chosen to do that. And right out there in the open...right at the front door when I am leaving!!! My mom and I were laughing so hard. The only advantage of seeing this appauling thing was that I had a free run to my car. They were a little preoccupied!!! Sorry this post was rated PG-28!!!

Who's afraid of the big bad......bee! Um, I am !!
So obviously I have not a lot going on in my life if I decide to blog about one of my biggest fears. The "bee family"...aka, the hornet, the wasp, the bee...anything that chases me and wants to hurt me! I have something to admit, for those who don't know me. Yes, I am afraid of scary people, of monsters, of spiders, of anything that could harm me, but I am terrified of bees. I have found that as I grow older the fear only gets worse. Have I ever been stung you are wondering..??.... No I haven't and maybe that is the fear but the other part of the fear is that bees want my body! I know, sounds pretty vain right, but they freakin want me!
So, my family makes fun of me because of this fear but in the last two years whenever I go to my moms house, a bee immediately is there to greet me. Call it service, but I hate it. No one believed me. My mom finally said, "Look I will go out there and I will prove that there is no bee." So she went out there and stood for like ten minutes walking around her front yard. She comes in and says, "See, no bee" and I say oh yea, I will sacrifice myself and prove it. The second I step out on the front porch...."HELLO, the freakin bee is in my face." I of course embarass her by running like a screaming child back into the house. So point made. Then one day we were laughing about it and my brother and his wife were there and they walked us out to the car. I was sitting with my window rolled down and "wham, the bee comes at me. I swat it away and get my window rolled up. But the bee is now sacrificing himself and ramming into the window. Witnesses were there. No joke we drove off and the bee stayed attached to that window for the entire block. Now a family joke!!!!! Four witnesses..my mom, my dad, my brother, his wife and then of course those who live with me and deal with this fear on a daily basis. Could I have Greg, Dallin, Alex and Colton please stand! Let's give them a hand.
Well, the year passed and I thought, let it snow all year because bees don't bother me in the snow..hopefully they freeze to death..... Well, I must tell you that that stupid bee didn't freeze or he/she passed the obssession onto a relative because once again I am the only one at that house who is being attacked! Greg and my mom had to convince me to come to the car last week because I so maturely ran screaming back into my moms house when the bee found me. Sad, when your children have to say, "Mom just say Shew!" Glad it works for them but it doesn't work for me. So, why do we have bees...oh, I think we have some honey fans out there...not I. I hate honey. I was in total shock when I read in the newspaper that there was a shortage of bees. Boo hoo, who freakin cares. I seriously wouldn't care a bit. Greg says that honey is Gods candy. What? Now if those bees were poppin out hot tamales or swedish fish then I could handle an obsessed bee here and there but not for honey. I refuse to lay down and be stung for honey. I have decided that I must just smell really sweet because maybe some of my high school friends will remember Fred. Oh, "who is that" I here? That was only my pet fruit fly. He took up residence in my space. I swear wherever I went, Fred came too which is why I finally named him. It was quite annoying at first, but I came to realize that Fred didn't sting our bite and that whenever I was talking to myself and someone caught me that I could say I was just a talkin to Fred. Fred still visits every now and then but I think he is terrified of the bee and keeps his distance.
I have been known, although, I will deny it if authorities came a knockin, to leave my small children in their carseats at Costco,...in the parking lot,...while I have been running from attacking bees. I did come to my senses and realized that the poor innocent child...with a feeding tube...was probably also being attacked by the bees. So I sacrified and chased those mean bees away and got my children safely in the car while the bees were still attacking me. When I finally got in the car... I realized that I left my coke on the front hood of the car. You know it is a fear when you are willing to leave the coke on the hood of the car and just drive away and watch as it falls off. If anyone else has noticed, Costco is not only popular with humans but also with bees. Seriously..look around next time you are there.
So, small creatures like me. Some may say it is because I stink, but then you don't know me very well and the fact that I have an obsession with deo. and smelling good. So, for all of those who make fun of me day after day about being terrified of bees..don't come to my funeral when I die from a bee sting!!!

The new hut!!!
I only have these photos so far of the house. Notice the yard....Greg keeps an immaculate yard...so this yard will work Greg for a little while. I guess we have grubs...I know, sounds like a personal problem. The picture of the mountain is the gorgeous view I see out my front window everyday. Yesterday there was the first real fall storm and the mountains were amazing. The clouds were floating right on by us and the mountains had snow at the tip top and the leaves are so beautiful right now! We are loving it!!! As soon as I get all my painting and things done on the inside of the house then I will send pictures....for anyone who doesn't know me...I always have to paint to my style in each of my houses! I found this awesome color in my last house and I can't wait to use it again in this new house!!! For anyone with painting ideas that you have seen...pass them on!!!

Back to life..back to reality!!!
Yeah, the move is over and I survived. We have been in our home now for a week and we are loving it!! The move went pretty smoothly and we were so grateful to those who helped us...even complete strangers!! It is always amazing to me to see who offers to help and who doesn't!! Bless those who helped!! We have a considerable amount of crap and I say crap because 60% of it is in bins and boxes and just gets moved with us everytime. Okay, so I am exaggerating...slightly. I feel like I can finally settle in. I am one who comes and immediately sets up and hangs up pictures. I can't relax until it is all done and so by Friday I had every thing put away and all of my pictures hung. come on..just pat me on the back...I am obviously very proud of myself! Although, I never said it looked good..it just is done.
We haven't missed our last home for even a second. Not that this one is that much nicer,..but our last one was ....let's just say, lived in. The people before us used it well and you don't realize that when you only walk through it two times. This one was owned by one of my kind....the "OCD" kind. I was so happy to come and find an immaculate home to move into. Even when we built a home it was a monster to clean because there was sawdust and building crap. We definetly miss our good friends from the old neighborhood, but hopefully we will always be good friends. Dallin is having withdrawals from Tanner but he makes friends quickly and already told me that he is the boss of their club at the new school.... GREAT..the bossy kind!! Although, he said he is appointing a new boss today...sure!!! We love the area that we are in. Greg says it is like camping every day...my kind of camping..running water, nice beds, I'll take it! We do have a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and I love it. The wind does blow...hard...but only from 10 p.m-10a.m.. I can live with that!
Well, that is the update on our family. When I get a second I will take some pictures and post them! Thanks for all of the love and support through this whole move!!!!!

TOP TEN REASONS I AM READY FOR THIS MOVE TO BE OVER!!!!
1. No more driving three hours a day just for Dallin to go to school! (that is with no traffic my friends!!!)
2. That means I am done packing!!
3. I can actually check my blog without feeling like I am GI Joe'n it into the office so no one can see me.....there's too much to get done.
4. Greg can stop checking into mental hospitals...deciding where to place me!!
5. No more 30 + relatives of the family buying our house coming and just chillin' in the house!! It will finally be theirs!!!
6. My children will actually get attention....from me....not just from the television.
7. I won't ever have to use that stupid tape dispenser that I swear is going to kill me every time I try to tape up a box. (well, not for another year or so...when we move again....j/k) Seriously...just kidding!
8. Maybe I can pack up the potty mouth that comes with moving!!??!!! maybe? Oh, come on...don't give me that....it happens to everyone.......RiGhT????
9. A shower sounds nice!!! Well, okay, I shower but not until late at night...I'd like to look like Greg's wife and not like the moving lady..short of coveralls.
10. I can finally have this Coke IV taken out. Seriously if it is a steady stream of coke doesn't that still count as having only "one" coke a day.???!!!! (shhhh, don't tell Greg!!)
