This entry was a draft for over two years. Lol. Decided it's time to post it.
It's been several weeks since my last post and so much updating to do. Here goes nothing. Lol.

HAPPY 31st BIRTHDAY TO DADDY!!!
My old man turned 31 last month. Lol. He might be getting older, but he sure doesn't age! Truly the best looking 31 year old ever. Haha. Anyways...Tina and I are truly blessed to have you in our lives! He really is an amazing father! Tina always enjoys playing with her dad. He probably doesn't know this, but everytime he falls asleep on the couch, she walks over to him, smacks him on the chest a couple of times to wake him up, and when he doesn't, she leans over to his face and umas (kisses) him. Other times I find her laying down on his chest, back, or even on his side like a log. Haha. She loves her daddy! I'm grateful to have such a hardworking man. I often feel bad and ask him if he'd like me to work to help him out, but he tells me he'd rather have me stay home and take care of our daughter. I appreciate him for acknowledging that and taking it upon himself to work full-time to provide for our little family. I love you my handsome :) Thank God everyday for you!
I thought he was suppose to work on his birthday, but I got surprised when he returned home early. Shucks, I had this little cute idea put together to do for his birthday while at work. Change of plans, while he enjoyed playing video games, I went out to the mall and bought him cologne, clothes, and a pair of shoes and on the way home picked up his blueberry cheesecake I had ordered the day before. Blueberry cheesecake being his favorite cake :) He doesn't like it when I buy things for him, but who will if he doesn't. I guess we're both the same. Haha. He ended up loving the gifts anyways. I asked him what he'd like to do for his birthday. I had planned to just take him out for dinner, but asked him again what he'd like to do. So he decided he wanted to go bowling and invite our family to come. My brother had to work and it was just a last minute thing, really last minute, and we were glad Tina, Lota and their families were able to meet up with us at FAtCAts. We had so much fun! John won over 6000+ tickets and got all the kids prizes! His lucky day on his birthday! We were glad the kids enjoyed themselves and I know they love love love their Uncle John!

Lets back track a little here...haha.
John had a training for work out near Wendover. Sometimes his work puts together fun activities, like golfing, for their training that way the employees socialize and get to know each other better. But golfing he did not. After we talked Friday night, he and a few other employees went over to Wendover. 15 minutes after getting there, he sat down at a penny machine, put in 15 dollars and after a couple plays he won the progressive. The progressive being 10,000!!! He had no idea he won that much until the other employees started screaming out for joy for him and said 'YOU WON 10,000. No, he didn't call me when he won. Haha. Because he already knows how I feel about gambling. He didn't tell me until he was on his way home from his training. Was I mad? No. I wasn't mad, just disappointed that he gambled after several discussions where we agreed he'd stop gambling. I told him, I don't care if other people gamble, but we don't gamble. We don't gamble because the church advises that we do not! Was I excited? No, I was not screaming for joy. After he won, he told me he told the other employees that I wouldn't be happy. One of them said, WHAT? WHY? and the other being a LDS member didn't question it. I don't know how to discribe how I felt. I wasn't mad, happy, or excited. It's just money! If I died today, I wouldn't take any of that with me. I often tell my husband, money or worldy possessions will not buy us into Heaven. Neither can we take it with us. I know, I know, call me miss party pooper...miss goody two shoes...miss ugh, why she gotta be like that for?!. I can care less. Anyways, I let him decide what he wanted to do with the money. He being the understanding and loving husband that he is, knew the desires of my heart. Lol. We paid off one of our vehicles and some bills. I knew he wouldn't go out and buy him anything, so with some of his winnings, I bought his birthday gifts. It was all outta luck. In some way, I was happy. Happy that we paid off one of our vehicles and some bills...and now inching our way out of debt...and soon out into our own place. Happy for that reason because it helped my husband out since he works his butt off to pay our bills.
