Everywhere I Go...

Everywhere I go, everything I do, everything I see.... reminds me of New York. 

For instance, I am at work the other day and someone wants to see a pair of sunglasses. 

These:

The Ray Ban special edition. They have the New York train station map on the inner part of the frame!!!

If you ask me I think they are not the cutest glasses at all.

I would have never picked these out for myself.

But Ray Ban: you won my heart. Way to go! 

I love these and one day will purchase them.

On a different note, it seems to me that every song on the radio has the lyrics of

New York.

To top it off, I am in church and thinking about New York the entire time.

The Relief Society lesson was on baptism...I can't help but think of all the people we met who were baptized and made such a wonderful decision. I even cried thinking about it. lol! 

When I walked out of church guess what happened? Someone my companion and I taught called to say hello:)

New York, I love you so.

The people in New York, I love you even more.

I will come one day to visit. I promise.

Like A Baby

Chase left for Rigby Idaho Saturday to go to a mission buddies brother's farewell and I had to work till 9 so I couldn't go!:( I came home from work so tired so thought I would be able to fall asleep but I was wrong. I laid in bed like a baby fighting falling asleep because I missed him so much. Then on Sunday he left to Denver for work and same thing. I was up till 2am! I guess I have a glimpse of what a baby feels like when they cry themselves to sleep and are so tired but something keeps them from really wanting to!

Sweetness of Sundays!

So today the kids and I went to church and guess what musical number was played?! I Know Heavenly Father Loves Me! If you ask any mission companions that was my theme song on the mission! Not only that, but it is my favorite! In every Ward I attend as a "visitor" that song is always played as a musical number or we sing Because I have been Given Much! ...another fave! It is the best thing ever! Tonight the kids and I went to a family birthday party and by the time I pulled into the driveway as we came home, 3 of them were sleeping. It is just the simple things in life that I just love so much. Sitting in church with 4 obedient children, spending time with family, and putting 4 easy kids to bed. Just walk them up the stairs and lay them down in their beds. Now hopefully football won't go too much later so I can have a early phone date with my husband!! :)

The Happiest Meal

Have I told you lately that I love my life? Today I flew to Boise to babysit! Yay! My day consisted of, having trouble getting through security because of my recent name change but they let me on! Another yay!  Get to my gate and there is this mom saying bye to her 4 year old son. Tear! I cried with the mom as I watched this! Tear! The little boy then proceeds to the flight all by himself! Seating was open so guess what I got to do? Sit next to this brave 4 year old boy who was flying to see his dad. Yeah the flight attendants did a great job on checking on him but too bad as part of there job they didn't get to do what I did! Colored, played DS2, and the BEST part of all?! Seeing the little boys face when the flight attendant asked if he wanted a soda!! Lol! His eyes got big and he looked around to make sure his parents weren't around and said, "yes, I would love a soda!" what a fun flight. Then, I get to see my family! Then, I got to play on a swing set! Later, we made pizza for dinner and I made it too brown (shh don't tell chase) so the kids asked for more. Instead, we went to McDonalds for Happy Meals and to play in the playground they have. We had a blast! Then, when the youngest went to bed I rocked him for 2 minutes and he fell asleep...in case you were wondering, yes I do love my life!

Uncommonly Good

On Thursday night Chase and had a special date planned! The Utah State Fair...which they say is Uncommonly Good! I was so excited and the memories of the Minnesota State Fair always cross my mind this time of year. Love love love! I haven't been to a fair forever it seems and the Utah State Fair was a first for the both of us! We loved every minute....listeneing to people try to sell stuff....looking at all the stands....seeing animals..etc. We got there at 7:30 or so and to my surprise we were ready to leave at 10 or so. 9:45 to be exact! It was tiny compared to Minnesota! I would say in Minnesota you have to stay 7 hours to get to everything! Not that I have favorites but the Minnesota State Fair is my Uncommonly Good State Fair!! It is the best. Utah, we still love you.

our little boy

ever since i was a little girl....
we have always had a dog

i love dogs and so does chase
we talked about getting a dog when we got married

 but a couple months before we got married chase found a lot of little puppies on ksl
it just so happens we found one before we got married and

this is the one we picked..

KUBUS!! pronounced: koo-boosh

i adore him and he adores...

HIS DADDY!...
i tell chase it is because kubus has been with him from the beginning;)
either way i know daddy would still be kubus' favorite...
why? because chase wrestles him and plays with him daily
..as for me? i just take him on walks:)

jobless

as you may have noticed in my "daily duties" i have been completely jobless! i have gotten a couple babysitting jobs here and there but i am used to much more than that! ever since i was 15 i have had the best jobs on earth and loved every single second! from galaxie gifts and tanning to sunglass hut to babysitting the most precious kids on earth, etc. along with that, my managers have been the best of the best and i have been one blessed girl! it has been a little discouraging knowing that i haven't been working but the other day chase and i were eating dinner and he reminded me to trust in the lord. when he said that i felt ok about not having a job for that single second. but then reality hits me soon later. i am jobless! our nightly prayers have been so repetitive, "please help tamari find a job" is in every. single. prayer. lol. but guess what?!? i got a job...sunglass hut here i come for the 5th row in a year! WOOT! WOOT!

daily duties

my days are soo boring...each day i...
wake up when chase gets ready for work
walk kubus
feed kubus
call my mom
wipe the counters
clean the bathrooms
do laundry
look for a job
add something to my resume
follow up on a job
go to an interview( i have been to one)
watch oprah
walk kubus
do the dishes
make dinner.....
i strongly dislike not having a job but somehow being home all by myself is still a job!;)

what scares me the most...

there are very few things in life that really scare me. to list a few: i am scared of spiders, heights, and last but not least thunderstorms. when i was a little girl i used to run into my moms room and sleep with her during the thunderous storms and of course my mom made me feel safe. chase never knew this but it was our first week as a married couple and one random night before bed i told him how scared i was of thunderstorms. little did i know we would have one that night. i wake up at 3am to a BOOM BOOM BOOM and lighting! the best part? i wasn't scared at all. i had my husband right next to me. i love the married life!

7.30.10

the day we got married was the best day ever. talk about happiness. the only thing that mattered to me that day was that i was sealed to the man of my dreams! honestly, i remember so little except the special sealing. thats a lie, i remember everything but as i mentioned before the only thing i really cared about was marrying chase. lets just say i never dropped the bible or book of mormon on my mission. haha, i did like a hundred times. i am a living witness that even the sister missionaries who drop the scriptures still can marry a handsome, gorgeous, adorable man!
