10 Things...

Thanks Tawni!!
Terms of this award: must list 10 things about yourself, thank the person who gave you this award and pass it on to 10 wonderful bloggers.

1. My middle name is Jo. I was named after my Great-Grandpa Joseph Parker. Unlike some people, I actually LOVE my name.. Chelsea Jo. Maybe because both names have something to do with someone in my family.. Or maybe just cause I like the sound... Chelsea Jo..

2. My favorite color is Baby blue.. I personally think my parents tried to pound this into me, I probably never even had a chance to decide a favorite color for myself, My baby blanket and doll are both baby blue. ;) But it's my fave just the same. And I probably wouldn't change it anyway.

3.I loved the show "Golden Girls" growing up! Still do! My Grandma Parker and I used to sit and laugh till our sides hurt at that show!

4. I have a pet goat, Her name is Harley. She is pretty much AWESOME!!

5. Jon and I are getting ready to build our first home.. And I don't quite understand why everyone asks "Is it your first?" or "Are you planning on doing it again years down the road?" If we ever do build or buy again, it's not in our plans now. We are just trying to get through this one!

6. I get to work with my husband, even if we aren't in the same department. I love driving to work with him on the mornings we work the same shift.

7. One of my favorite pass times is spending time with family.

8. Most people that don't know me very well can't believe I LOVE to go camping! I guess I don't have the "look", and I don't exactly know what that's supposed to mean. I didn't know there was a look???

9. I love to have my nails painted.. While most girls love to go get tips put on (which at a time I did too)I would much rather have a nice classic solid color. I love the look of nicely painted nails!

10. And for the grand finish!! I met Jon on a blind date, and had never met him before. Although... My Great-Grandma Parkers maiden name was Dattage. Yes, try to figure that one out.
**Don't worry, we checked, we're not related... closely. ;)**

Blog Stalkers...

Lately I have had SO MANY people tell me they read my blog, but they don't follow or comment. So in a word.. "Blog Stalkers" I totally understand this!! I do it all the time! I read so many peoples blogs and never comment, I just see whats going on in their lives, so I'm totally guilty of being a Blog Stalker. But it got me thinking.. I wonder how many people actually do read my blog and rarely or never comment. So just to see.. How about you all just leave a quick note. Now I understand this is going to be very hard to do, since most of you that read this still probably won't. It's totally against your M.O. And also because I'm asking you to come WAY out of your comfort zone. But I promise I will only ask it of you all this once. But even if you don't.. Thanks for reading just the same!!

Sadness, Happiness and Everything in the Middle...

So many things have happened in the last couple of weeks! I don't know where to start. Maybe from the beginning.. Yes?
Mother's day was awesome!! We got to spend the first part with my Mom and the second half of the day with Jonathan's Mom. My Mom made some delish baby back ribs, and everything else BBQ that you could want! There is just something amazing about going to the parents house for Sunday dinner. It's like a little escape from everything going on in life.. a little break. Then at Spencer and Beryl's we played some games and chatted! Just over all a really great relaxing day!

Jon and I when to our "First time home buyers class" last Saturday too. It was the longest 8 hours of my life!! But on the plus side we know a lot more about homes that we did to start out! And the money to help with our closings is pretty much going to be worth it I think! We also had to go to a counsel session on Wednesday to finish it up. Still a little freaked out (come on, it's a big deal, and a lot to sign to) but over all feeling pretty good about the whole thing!

This last weekend has been a bitter sweet one. Spencer, Ariell and two of the kids moved to Texas this last weekend. I'm kind of a boob, I'm not going to lie. Jon and I have become really close with Ariell and the kids and seeing them leave was pretty hard. Poor Jon had to hear me boob about even the next day as we were going to a wedding. Even though I'm a little selfish about it, I am so happy for them to be together! I love that family so much and they deserve the very best! I can only hope that someday Spence will be station here in Utah..**Hint Hint** ;) Now the sweet part of our weekend was Harley's wedding. Jon has a group of five guys that are just hilarious together.. I love it! Them being together for this wedding was so much fun. And a pretty good bunch of guys if I may add. Two down three to go!!
