Adam’s New Toy
I have a new job…I work at Lowe’s Corporate Office and I am liking it a lot more now that I am done with training and know what I am doing. 
Adam is one happy camper now that I am working again… but mostly about where I work. Why? Because I get a 10% discount at Lowe’s and Adam has been coveting – nay dreaming about owning one of these.
Of course I brought up the “Well what if we move and live in a house with a tiny yard? We will have wasted all the money to buy it.”
To which he responded: “I could never live in a house without a yard.”
Ok…we will see. Anyway, I let him win the argument (I wanted one too) and we went to pick it up today. It was a really fun purchase to make but our pockets feel a lot lighter now. 
Here is after we got it home and off the truck…somehow.
Putting on the bagger:
Posing with the mower:
Looking Tough:
Looking…um….not so tough
Showing his excitement:
The first start up…. (Warning…I sound totally dorky but I was really excited.) Dad – you may recognize the look in his eyes part way through the video…..think Great America.
Doesn’t he look happy??? I love making him happy:
BUT if I cannot make him happy all the time, he can go out to the shed and stare or sit on his new riding lawn mower.
The best part is that it will totally cut down on the time it used to take us to push mow the lawn (3 hours) and blow the leaves (a ton of time) since we got the bagger for the back as well if you couldn’t tell. Our lawn looks great, my man is feeling awesome, and I get to ride it every once in a while. AWESOME!
My Love Muffin
Took me on a drive today to see where my new job would be. After that he took me up on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was absolutely gorgeous!!
New Addition
We recently added a new addition to our household. She is darling and we love her.
Her name is Leela and she is a little over a year old (7 dog years old). Isn’t she cute??
New Years Day in Dallas
After Christmas we headed out to Dallas for New Years. Mom and Dad L were there along with Aim and Allie. Here are some of my very fav pics.
Remind you of anyone you know? Here is a hint.
That’s right….his Aunt Annie who cannot keep her eyes open in any picture. And some more proof:
Mom taught us how to do some crochet and knitting. It was awesome. I still think that I need a little more tutoring. =)
And here is an awesome goofy pic.
And the girls (that were present) Missed you Em and Quynh:
Boop Boop B Doop:
The best chunker thighs on the face of tank:
It was so great to be with family and hang out. Love you family!!!!!
CHRISTMAS!
Ok so it has been a ton of time since it was Christmas, but I’m writing about it now. =) I’ll make it short and sweet.
We spent Christmas at Adam’s Sister’s (Shea) house. It was a blast to be around kids. I will have to upload pics when I find them…for some reason I cannot find them on my computer. JUNK!

Nuggets….
Many of you know that Adam and I were in an accident on Sunday.
<Rewind to Sunday Afternoon>
We went to Charlotte to see a friend and her daughter be confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Adam was driving and was goofing off a little bit pretending like he was sleeping – he claims to see how long it would take me to notice…
He is an awesome hubby and wants to make sure that I am always on my toes…
<Fast forward an hour and a few>
We are leaving sacrament meeting and are on our way home. We are talking and having a great time. All of the sudden, we start to veer a little off the road.
Thinking that this is another “on your toes” activity, I start to giggle a little bit to myself.
<A few seconds later>
We are still veering and it is getting a little more scararific. In fact, we are now headed smack dab into the awesome striped road sign about a foot off of the road.
Suddenly, I get my smarts back and get Adam’s attention. By saying really loudly “ADAM!!!”
He comes to and swerves out of the way.
I start to breathe more easily…but all too soon.
SMACK!!!! The rear view mirror hits the sign…
CRACK!!!!! The rear view mirror flies off of its mount…
SMASH!!!! The window shatters and comes flying at me.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I scream twice really, really loud.
Adam puts on the brakes and pulls over to the side of the road.
He gets out of the car and comes to my side. I am sure that I look like this:
|||||||
O O

Sexy aren’t I?
He helps me out of the car and makes sure that I am ok. (Awesome hubby.)
Another girl who saw the accident comes running up and asks us if we are ok. We assure her that we are fine, then she points out that I am bleeding.
I’m pretty sure I was in some sort of shock, because I didn’t freak out like I usually do when I see blood.
We again assure her that we are fine and she decides that she can believe us and she leaves.
<Fast forward through us standing there shocked a little longer, Adam cleaning up some of the glass that is all over our seats, Us getting back in the car, Adam being upset with himself because he feels like he put my life in danger and feels horrible and also because we now have a new thing that is going to cost us some moolah, Both of us being thankful that it wasn’t worse and more>
Finally I convince Adam that we are good because we are both alive and it didn’t total our car. Hooray!
We start to be really thankful for the fact that Heavenly Father was really looking out for us. It could have been so much worse. AND when the rear view mirror came through the window it didn’t smack in the noggin like it probably should have. Neither one of us were severely hurt and my “bleeding” was less than almost all of the shaving accidents that I’ve had in my life. So all in all, we were good.
Now…comes the confession:
What caused us to veer toward the sign? Adam looked down while the road was curving…and we didn’t automatically curve with it. Huh? Since when did FORD not come with autopilot? =)
What caused him to look down? A nugget.
A chicken nugget, you ask…
Nope.
A golden nugget?
Negative, good buddy.
So what kind of nugget was it?
A BOOGER! That’s right folks, you read that right. A booger that needed a final resting place (aka a napkin) to dwell. Not just any booger, a “gigantic booger”. Nice…
Damage: $431.00
Story: Priceless.
Blogging about it: Legendary.
This is probably the least expensive “mining” accident ever. Adam and I are glad to have our place in history. =)
