Remembering This Day

September 11th, 2001

I remember this day very distinctly.
I was sitting in my 1st period class my sophomore year of high school.
The tvs were on in all the classrooms and news of the attack on
The Twin Towers
came streaming in all over the school.
I must admit I was in shock.
And sadly a little displaced.
It was sad. Very sad.
But I was in Utah...far from the chaos.
They were many students crying,
people worried about loved ones
who were in New York.
And I was just in a daze.
Not necessarily uncaring,
But not attached.

However....little did I know just 4 years later I would date and then marry a
United States Marine.
That alone changed many things for me.
After getting married the first time in March 2006 and moving down to San Diego
where Will was stationed at Camp Pendleton,
the life as Marine wife became a reality.
Operation Iraqi Freedom had begun years before
and was still on-going.

Will deployed for Iraq August 9th, 2006.
Watching him walk away to the buses has been one of the hardest things I've ever
had to experience. Although I trusted him and the Marine in him...
You still never know what can happen.
He was gone for 7 months.


And March 6th, 2007
he came back safe and sound.
It is yet another experience that is unexplainable...
the feelings I had rushing through me as I saw the line of buses pull up.
There were tons of people also waiting for their loved ones.
And with so many Marines all dressed alike
I was searching frantically for the one I was looking for.
And when I saw him all i could do was skip/run with a huge smile.
That has been the BEST Hug and Kiss EVER.

I guess where I am going with all this
is simply that
September 11th, 2001
is a day that will never be forgotten
and should not be forgotten.
And I hope everyone remembers the many innocent lives lost that day,
as well as the lives of Brave men and women of the
United States Military
who are to this day still are sacrificing their lives for ours.
For our Freedom to Live,
To be a Great People.

May we always remember that
Freedom is never Free.

Adventure Time!

So this last weekend Will went up AF canyon to camp and to do the
Archery Elk Hunt.
He went up with his friend Jed, Amber, and Danny.
So Saturday I got a call from him around 5pm letting me know his Elk tag had fallen out of his pocket and he asked me to go pick him up a duplicate.
Being the wonderful wife I am I did and then started to head up the canyon to meet them.
It was 6 o'clock when I started up the canyon.
Then the "Fun" began.
He had told me to meet them at a certain point up the
Alpine Loop.
Once I got to the assumed meeting point I waited about 10 minutes and they weren't there yet.
I figured maybe I was at the wrong place so I began to head farther down the Alpine Loop.
However when I reached Aspen Grove I thought I'd gone too far.
Turned around and headed back up.
Once I got back to the original place they still weren't there.
So I headed toward Cascade Springs thinking maybe I was suppose to head that way.
After driving about 20 minutes I knew I'd gone too far again. At this point its around
7:30pm and I was beyond frustrated and annoyed.
Turning around YET AGAIN I flew back and this time totally missed the original spot and
I was back at Aspen Grove...I kept going.
And arrived at the Provo Canyon part where you begin the Alpine Loop.
I wanted to SCREAM!
And this whole time I was trying to call Will to see where he was at.
Of course phone service is hard to come on in the canyon but it was worth a try.
I got back to the original spot and sat.
The phone rang and it was Will.
"Where the heck are you!!"
I repeated it back. Lol.
We both were quite annoyed.
I should have waited longer at the spot apparently.
He said to head towards Cascade Springs and I'd start going downhill...I was driving while talking to him and heard him say something about a dirt road that he'd be waiting for me at.
Then my phone lost service so I headed towards where I thought he'd be.
I stopped at a dirt road and the car that was behind me flew past.
It was well after 8pm and it was dark outside.
I saw no one...turned around and proceeded to stop by every dirt road.
To no avail.
Pissed off and tired I simply drove back to the original place to call him again.
A few seconds later a car pulled up behind me and Police lights were flashing.
As if my night could get any worse.
The officer walked up to my window and said
"You look like a wife lost looking for your husband."
Well yes I was!
He said Will had flagged him down and asked if he'd seen a Mazda driving around and explained it was his wife looking for him.
Luckily the officer lead me to him.
I finally got there after almost 3 HOURS of driving all around the stupid canyon.
Tired, annoyed, and hungry.

To end this long story I got to go up to their camp and got a nice dinner, and spent time hanging around the campfire for awhile.
Needless to say I think my experience of the Alpine Loop will last me for a nice while.

No More Monkeys....!

Last night Will came home from work around 1 am-ish and
of course the insomniac I am....
wide awake.

Being excited to come home and go to bed he does a little hop onto the bed....
and the board that holds his side of the mattress
BROKE
off the bed leg!!!

We both sat there for a second confused as to what happened,
then busted up laughing.
Will believes he's just gotten to big and strong for our bed to hold him.
True or not?
haha.
As you can see we used our smart thinking to fix this problem...
for the time being anyways.

Needless to say....
No more Monkeys jumping on the Bed.

Its a Photo Montage!

Its been awhile since my Bestie E and I have done one of our "Infamous" picture crazes...
And we finally got our chance....
Enjoy!!

Gotta Love this girl.

Finally got the other Western Pictures we took at Lagoon from
my dear ol' father-in-law Jeff...
Will, his Uncle Josh, and his dad Jeff all
COMPLETELY fit into that time period look...
What Studs!

Looks pretty serious eh...?

DIY.

So this morning I seriously could not sleep!
It was horrible so around 5:30 I finally decided to just get up!
I had bought some Dark Red hair dye the other day
because I need a change!
Usually I have my friend Britt do it since she went to hair school,
But I was awake and figured I'd seen people do it plenty of times!
How hard could it really be right?!
So I decide to
DO IT MYSELF!

Ahhh yes....All dolled up for church at 9!
EXCEPT..........

WOW! Did I do it wrong somehow!
I pretty much got my roots ONLY!
So now I look kinda like some white trash chick
with some serious roots growing out....

Lesson Learned:
Tacy will never attempt
to dye her own hair EVER again.

LAGOON!
