Not much going on.

Sorry I have not posted in a long time. Mainly because not a whole lot of excitement happens around our house. Mar-Kell is gone 50+ hours a week so needless to say when he gets home he is tired and then has to do school. He is one hard worker. But pretty soon we will be taking off to New Mexico! I am actually really excited to start another chapter in our lives. Since receiving not so fun news Mar-Kell and I worried about what was our next step, how are we going to progress. I think New Mexico is going to allow us that opportunity and I so look forward to moving to a new place. I love that where we are going it's kind of a small town so everyone we spoke to knew exactly where the new Dick's was going and they were looking forward to its opening come fall.

Easter and Other Stuff

Dallin was a very cute Darth Vader. He was very funny. He went up to his mom and pressed the button that repeated "I will destroy you" hilarious!!!



Ryan was such an adorable Storm Trooper. I think the mask was a little bigger then him. But so cute.

Love These Girls

Last weekend was Easter and it was quite the event of the year. Not only was it just the Petty clan. But it was also some in laws included as well. There were a lot of people, But I think we all had a blast, I know I did. In other news Mar-Kell left for nine days the day after Easter he is gone till next Wednesday then he will be home for four days then he will go back out another nine. Then he will be home for awhile. Or at least I hope so. I am just fine with him gone. But this week I had my first appointment and procedure at the Fertility Treatment Center here in Phoenix. I was feeling very sad because I was the only woman there without my honey. What did give me a good laugh is when a lesbian couple came in with some friends to show off their success by bringing them to see a sonogram of their baby. In some weird morbid way it gave me hope. i mean if these chicks can get prego I definitely can. Right? By the way I love my doctor!!!!! She is exactly the woman I was looking for. We could have gotten a good start this week but because Mar-Kell was not getting back till next Wednesday we have to wait a little while longer. But I feel very confident. I have a goal to be pregnant by June/July. If it doesn't happen its okay. I have waited to years already so what is a little more time?

Tucson Trip and Egg Decorating

Last week I went down to Tucson to attend a friends wedding. I decided to spend a week there to be able to see people I haven't seen since we moved. It was a very lovely trip. But I was really happy to come back home. And Mar-Kell was very, Very Happy I was back home to. The Monday after I got back I went to my Grandmom Quinn's to attend the annual Easter Egg decorating party. This is my first year going. The party is meant for the great grandkids, Since I have no kids, and the last years they have done this I have been busy. But I had nothing going on and decided to go. It was fun! I really enjoy the time I have with them. I really enjoy the time I spend with anyone. Because it is all so precious.

Disneyland!!!!!

So about 2 months ago a little less Brianna invited us to Disneyland. Mar-Kell and I jumped at the opportunity to go since we had a Disney trip planned this last September but that was cancelled due to Mar-Kell's job change. It ended up being a trip with my mom, my brother John, Mar-Kell, And Brianna, Rob, Arianna, and Tatianna. It was a blast. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy a trip with some members on each side of our family. Can't wait to do another trip like it some other time.

Valentines Day

Yesterday we celebrated our Valentines Day because Mar-Kell had to work on actual Valentines day. It was wonderful and we had the best time.

Grateful for Bread

SO sorry for not posting in awhile. I was without my computer, But now I am back.
When we finally were on our own 100% I began focusing on all the things we didn't have. Obviously focusing on the negative brings you down. So I decided to change my attitude and when I pray at night I would only pray of thanks (a home, family, church, etc.) Which is really good but I decided to take it a next step further and start being grateful for the little things on a day today basis, and being grateful for the memories and the lessons I have learned. Now I am getting to why I am thankful for bread.

Today my wonderful mother in-law was so kind to invite me over to learn how to make bread. She took the time to teach me everything about bread making, kneading the dough, proofing your yeast and the importance of each ingredient. I had so much fun. I enjoyed the time I get to know her a little better, and of course how to make new things. I came home thought for a minute and started to be grateful for all that this little time brought me. First I feel so grateful to be loved to be thought of, my mother in-law took time to think of me, she took the time to teach me. I am grateful for food storage, and am thankful to learn how to cook with it. I am grateful for this memory. I feel that we not only should be thankful for big things but all the little things as well. I believe also when we take the time to think of all the good things that happen day to day we are much more positive and are much happier. I am also thankful for gratitude.....

and I am also thankful for bread.

A Little Late

I am posting this wonderful event a little late. But I thought It was worth sharing. Maury was so kind to invite me to go to Disneyland with her and the her kidos. I love spending time with my big sister ad her kids. We had so much fun! I got to ride fun rides with Connor and Cash, scary rides with Connor, and spend a few hours with Posey,and of course talking with Maury and listening to her great advice.



I had so much fun, and made some great memories. Thank You so much Maury.
