The Brewer's

[brewsells]

Well, I decided that it was quite sad that I haven't started an after wedding journal yet.. And I figured, what better way then to start with some pictures.


My sister came to town for Christmas. I took her down to Temple Square to see all the lights. They do a gorgeous job. Every branch of every tree has lights.. here are a couple I took.

Beautiful! I am curious .... do you know how do the Morman's do Christmas? Would it be in a similar fashion to other's or do they celebrate at all? Sorry for going off topic.

Glad to see you started a journal!

[brewsells]

Temple Square here in Salt Lake. Here is a pic from online.. mine isn't quite this good.. LOL

You mean how they celebrate? Yes, it's the typical Christian way of celebrating.

Did she get an amp as well? Got ear plugs? LOL

[brewsells]

Kind of an offbeat picture, but I love it.. This is Adam with our dog, Honna. She is such a sweetheart and loves her daddy.

Kolton couldn't hang very long on New Years Eve.. I think he was asleep by 9:30.. my daughter on the other hand was up till 3:30 with the rest of us.
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m167/brewsells/IMG_0574.jpg

Adam and I right after New Years.. He took this picture. He is always so proud at how well he does with those. He took one of us kissing at midnight, but he cut himself off. LOL.

[brewsells]

Did she get an amp as well? Got ear plugs? LOL

Yes, she did get an amp.. No earplugs here.. Her Dad may need them though. (she lives with him). He got her some lessons for when she got home. Her grandpa also plays, so I can't wait to hear her progress.

[brewsells]

SerendipityCrafts agrees: Thanks ... I was just curious as to whether Joseph Smith came into play in some way or fashion. I have only met one person who is Morman and at the time (high school), I didn't think to ask her any questions.

I know some. DH is a mormon.. well he doesn't attend church right now, but at one point was getting ready to serve a mission.. So he has taught me alot about the religion..

[brewsells]

I have a few others from New Years.. debating on whether I should post them or not LOL.. Most don't have me in the though since I was operating the camera.

New Years was a blast. We went to a friends house with a bunch of our friends. We brought the kids with us and I was sure glad other people did the same. My daughter and another girl her age played dance, dance revolution all night.. They had a blast! My son passed out early, as he usually does. At midnight, we all went outside, set off some fireworks, and made lots of noise..
One of the local attorneys sponsers a cab company every year and will pay for your ride home.. So we definatly took advantage of that.

[hummingbird521]

Glad to see you have started your married journal. Love the pics. Too cute.

[NicksBride]

You have no idea how many times I took that picture! LOL.

[jeni740]

Hey it is great to see you started a journal I love the pics what a beautiful city you live in!!!

[WhiskeyGirl]

YAY!! Holly started a journal! Holly started a journal!!!

Great pics!! I can't wait to see more.

And I feel your pain on the whole photobucket thing, my whole account crashed not too long ago. Out went all my wedding pictures! *Sigh* and all the other ones I had in there too! Boo on photobucket!

[NicksBride]

That darn photobucket.. I am sorry you lost all of your pictures!!!

Thank you! It isn't hard when you have something so spectacular to take a pic of.

[BriansBride07]

Wonderful pic's thanks for sharing. Glad you started a journal. Can't wait to see and hear more.

[lea m]

Thats a beautiful place! i'd love to see it close up!

[ladymelissa]

Thank you! It isn't hard when you have something so spectacular to take a pic of.
It is more difficult than you may think, to get it centered, well lit and not blurry. Christmas lights are very hard to photograph. The one with the dog to get him in the air and still have it clear and not blurry, is also a sign of good photography.

Well, thanks! I guess I never thought about it that way.. maybe I should get into it! I love to do it.

[mariaandmanish]

It's great, Holly, that you started a journal!! The pictures are great, and I'm really impressed with how well Adam takes portraits!

[brewsells]

Well, we get to go ice fishing for the first time this season.. I am so freakin excited. We are going Sunday with a couple of our friends. Wish me luck on a huge fish!

I have started myself on a strict diet.. well, I ordered one of those excersize things off a stupid infomertial. Anyway, it came with a strict 6 day diet you should follow. No more than 1200 cals a day. And gave you meal plans and all. I have been following that closely and doing my workout everyday.. I tell you, it sure kicked my butt the first couple days, but am feeling better today. not quite as sore. I started the workouts Tuesday night and the workout Wednesday and I have already lost 2 pounds!! I know you are only supposed to weight yourself once a week, but I just couldn't help it this morning.

[mariaandmanish]

2 pounds already! That's great, Holly! Keep it up, and you'll inspre us all!!! Have a great time ice fishing, too!!!

[Jenn060306]

Holly started a journal! Awesome! lol!
Those pictures are great! The colours are fantastic! he he he! Keep on posting em!

I hope you have a great time Ice Fishing on Sunday. Do you guys have alot of snow? I doubt the lake we live on will freeze this winter. It's not even below freezing yet. Kinda no fun for winter activities.
Anyways.... Good Luck getting a big fish.... Fishy Dust for you!

We actaully just got a big storm last night and got about 6 inches. the lake we go to is frozen already with about 6 inches of ice. Typically, in the winter, we go every weekend. Last year I got the WORST sunburn. My face was all swollen and stuff.. Typically, we sit in the ice shanty, but it got to hot so we opened it up. I didn't even think about the sun.. I know better this year though!

Another 2 pounds! Yea!!

We had a great time ice fishing yesterday. It was pretty windy though, which made it kindof icky. There were 4 of us that went and our ice shanty only holds 2, so the girls and the guys would trade off and on to sit in shelter. LOL
It was pretty slow. I only caught one, so I am a little disappointed. Better luck next time!

[BriansBride07]

Great news another 2 po. congrats.

Brrr... Is all I can say about ice fishing but i'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Better luck next time with the fish at least you caught one though lol. Oh I almost forgot what did you catch??

[MOB Karen]

Other than the cold, ice fishing sounds like it would be a blast! Thanks for sharing with us, Holly! :)

[NicksBride]

WTG on your diet!!
I am so jealous you got to go ice fishing, I LOVE it. Hey at least you caught one, when I go I am lucky if I get seaweed. :)

Thanks!
I love to fish as well. I don't care what kind it is. I was pretty disappointed that I didn't catch more than that. Usually when we go it's nonstop action. The ice was heaving alot that day. I wonder if it was scaring the fish?

You should get your own fishing show....we'll call it "Fishing with Holly...the fisher lady!" lol.

Oh, I wouldn't complain in the least bit.. Those people get all the high tech jazz and get to fish for work!! Better than sitting on my butt in a chair all day.

That would be a lot of fun wouldn't it?? Then you coudl do a segment on how to cook the fish too! lol

MMMM.. I love fish. I don't keep fish most of the time. I am a catch and release kind of girl. Leaves more to catch next time. :) That and I am the only one in my house that eats fish, so I don't cook it that often. My fav way is in some tin foil with butter and fresh herbs on the grill.

Lol...I don't mind fish....as long as it's not too fishy? KWIM? SOmetimes when we used to eat fish that we caught it just tasted too fishy. Our fave way to eat it was when we were camping to coat it in some thin kind of batter and fry it in butter!! YUMMMMM!!!

Now i'm hungry for fish, but I'llf wait until I get to hawaii and have ono fish....it is so freakin good!! Matt thinks I'm going to Hawaii for the food and not the holiday cause I keep saying "Oh I wanna eat this or that!" lol

There really isn't any fish I don't like. Just some more than others. I really like trout, which is what we catch in the winter.

I would love to try Hawaiian food. I just love food that is really authentic. When we were in Jamaica, the most of the food was americaized. I was kinda bummed.

[brewsells]

Well, I haven't lost any more pounds.. I did measure my waist this morning and have lost almost an inch! Happy with that!

Adam doesn't have to work to today. No fair! But at least he doesn't have to be out in the cold and snow. It's about 16 degrees here right now.. brrr..

[BriansBride07]

Congrats on losing a inch that is great news.

Brrr..... that is cold I wouldn't want to work out in that either.

And I FOUND it for you, :whoa: you really should let me know before making anymore deposits!

Just kidding, that great...I am PROUD of you, keep it up girlfriend!

Yay for Adam staying warm and having a day off!

LOL! Sorry but I had to give it to someone! Just to let you know, I plan to lose much more.. Maybe you can hold on to them for me.. :p at least for a little while. Then you can give them to someone else!
I am pretty pleased. Let's just hope it keeps up..

Yeah, I wish I had the day off too.. He is out there making plans to go ice fishing tomorrow without me.. He is in sooo much trouble!

[Jenn060306]

Hey Congrats on loosing an inch! That is great!

[brewsells]

Thanks a million!

Congrats on the weight loss! Keep it up!

[NicksBride]

WTG that is wonderful!!!

[brewsells]

Well, DH went ice fishing without me today. Boo! He went with one of the guys from work, so I let them have a boys trip. That and it's dang cold out there today. So I can imagine how cold it is out there on that lake up the mountain! I sure hope he brings home a good fish for me to grill up for dinner though... I should see if I can find a pic of the trophy he caught last year. It in my folks deep freeze. My uncle (well more of a good family friend) does taxidermy and we are going to get it stuffed. It was a cutthroat and about 2 feet long. Big old fatty! LOL

[brewsells]

I scanned in a pic we had. It isn't of the best quality, but you get the point.

[WhiskeyGirl]

Nice fish Holly!!

I don't blame you for not wanting ot go if it's too cold, I hate being cold myself so I can understand it totally!! :D

[brewsells]

Nice fish Holly!!

Yeah, I was pretty proud of Adam for that one. Now imagine trying to get him out through a 3 inch hole!

Yeah, I love to go, but if I get too cold, I am miserable.. I try to layer up the best I can, but if it's windy, you don't have a chance.
Adam just got back. The poor guys had a hell of a time. The blazer got a flat and they had to change it. Then the truck wouldn't start and they had to wait for someone to come and jump it. Then after they were up there they got stuck and had to be pulled out. Real glad I didn't go now!

[WhiskeyGirl]

Lol sounds like quite teh adventure!! I think I'd be happy that I stayed home as well!! :wink:

[hummingbird521]

OH I believe I would have been tickled pink I had missed out on that one.

[LizabethDavis]

Now why haven't I found your journal until now??? Congrats on the weight loss!! Ice fishing sounds like fun, but too darn cold for me!

[countrygirl]

This may be a stupid question, but where does he go ice fishing up there? From the looks of it, he is actually on the Salt Lake. Is that correct?

[ladymelissa]

Nice pic of the trophy catch!

I am glad he made it back safe after all that! The Blazer got stuck, right? Or did he fall in the water and have to be pulled out?

[brewsells]

This may be a stupid question, but where does he go ice fishing up there? From the looks of it, he is actually on the Salt Lake. Is that correct?

No. I don't think the Great Salt Lake will freeze over. Too much salt. We go to Strawberry Res. It is just outside of Vernal up Parley Canyon. I am sure you sister knows where it's at.. It's pretty big and usually has pretty good fishing.

Yeah, the Blazer got stuck. We have a vaccum leak (we think) and the 4-wheel drive isn't working.. I guess while they were down fishing, the plows came and left a good bit of snow at the entrance to the lot we park at.
Oh, I can't imagine falling through the ice!! That would be sooo cold! It's at least 8 inches thick right now, so hardly any chances of that. The first time we went, the ice was heaving (basically it's just shifting and getting comfortable) but it makes a heck of a noise.. Like lightning crashing.. I didn't care for that a whole lot.

[ladymelissa]

Oh, I can't imagine falling through the ice!! That would be sooo cold!
When I was about 7, we were playing in the snow in a field about a block from our house. There was some standing water that was covered with some ice and snow and I stepped on it and my leg fell through only to my shin, but it was the most pain I think I have ever been through. I could barely walk and my sister and a friend ended up pulling me home in our sled. I was so scared I had frost bite, but I got in a lukewarm tub and I ended up being okay. Mom wasn't home at the time and our grandma (who came over to watch us) didn't drive and grandpa wasn't there, so luckily I was okay and didn't have to tell anyone. LOL

I could not imagine the pain of falling completely under! I am glad Adam made it back okay.

You are lucky with that one! How deep was the water?

I could not imagine the pain either.. I have always thought that if you did fall through and no one was around, you would have a very hard time making it out.. It would just be too cold to function. I always try not to think about things like that when I go and I absolutely WILL NOT go out unless the ice is at least 6 inches.. I have heard that 3" is safe, but not enough for me!

The water was only about 6 inches deep, so it only went up to my calf. But it is a paralyzingly painful experience. I don't know how one would get out if it was their whole body.

[brewsells]

Oh, I forgot to mention. I am pretty excited! Adam and I both have pretty poor credit.. Guess that's what we get for being stupid young people... Anyway, last year we had looked into buying a house and talked to a few people and they all pretty much laughed at us..
So last week, Adam told me about an ad he had seen and asked me to send in our info. So, I did. A lender called me that night and got all the info from me. I told him right up front our credit was shot and that we don't have a down payment. He said he would get back to me. So, he called the following day and told me that our scores had both gone up 100 points! Now, mind you, they still aren't great, but they are workable. The guy said he is going to review things a little bit more and he also has to talk to his PLN (I guess there is a new law that states if you haven't had your license for 3 years, you kind of have to have your loans approved before you can give them)
So, I am pretty freakin excited that we might be able to get a house!!!!

We are thinking around the $200K mark.. We want about 4-5 bedrooms. One for us, one for each kid, one for the baby, and one for a spare/office. I have been looking already, of course.. I am just hoping that if we are approved, the interest doesn't stop us from being able to do it.. That is the part that worries me.

[hummingbird521]

Oh I hope it works out and you get the house of your dreams. I too would be looking as well. I wouldn't be able to keep from being excited about it. Happy hunting,.

[brewsells]

Thanks! It's hard not to get too excited over it. This is something I want soo bad. Adam always tells me I get too excited and always get such a big let down because of it.. But, I can't help it!!

[ladymelissa]

It is exciting and I hope it works out for you! You can still be happy no matter what b/c even if you don't qualify for decent interest rates, if you were able to improve your credit score by 200 points since the last time you looked into it, then I would think if you had to wait another year or so, your credit will have improved that much more.

That's true.. And I know you are right.. I just have a hard time waiting! LOL. When I want it, I want it now!

[SaralovesMike]

That's pretty exciting about the house. Hope everything works out for you guys. I can totally sympathize about the credit situation, we're in the same boat! He's got way too much credit and mine is shot. We're a lenders nightmare! lol
We're waiting til 2008 for the house in order to get more debt paid off and more time for me to get my score up with the past negatives dropping off.

Best of luck to you!

You're welcome! Every little bit helps that's what I keep saying. Whatever it takes to get it positive right????

[brewsells]

Well, I just did my 2 week mark measurements.. I have lost 5 pounds and a total of 5 3/4". I am pretty happy with it.. I would be happier with a couple more pounds, but I slightly blame that on AF. LOL. If I can keep the motivation going, I'll do pretty well, I think.

[ikkin510]

Yay! So happy to hear that the weight loss is going well!

[ladymelissa]

Well, Adam is out of work for a couple weeks. He fell off his ladder on Wednesday and tore his miniscus. He also wrenched his back and is having a hard time getting around. He went to the WorkMed doctor that day and they told him his knee was messed up but released him back to work. The stupid thing is they put all kinds of restrictions on him that won't allow him to do his job. So basically, they released him so his work won't have to pay worker's comp. So, we went to the ortho surgeon yesterday(one that isn't a workers comp Dr.) and he wants to do an MRI. So once worker's comp approves that we have to go down and get it done. It will take 2-3 weeks to get the results and Adam can't go back until we do.

That sucks Holly!! I hope Adam will be feeling somewhat better soon. With back injuries, it can be hard to get back to feeling one hundred percent quickly, eh. Lots of TLC!! :D That always does a person good! :D

[NicksBride]

oh no! Poor thing! Sounds like he will be in pain for awhile, I wish him the best and hope for a speedy recovery!

[brewsells]

Thanks ladies! I will be sure to let Adam know you wish him well. I just feel so bad for him all laid up. I know how frustrating it can be.

[cowboysbride]

I'm sorry to hear that Holly...I hope he gets better fast. I am swamped at work I've been trying to pop in and out and catch up on everyone!

[ladymelissa]

That is terrible! I wish him a speedy recovery. Is there no way around the worker's comp. loophole? That sounds like a whole lot of wrong. Why couldn't your regular ins. pay for the MRI and then collect the money from the company? Waiting 3 weeks is ridiculous, you need to know if there is something wrong so it can be treated.

Well, the first problem w/ WC was the first Dr. that released him back to work. So that's why we went to the other Dr that wasn't a workers comp Dr. and got a no work order. So the new Dr. wants to do an MRI and they can't do it until WC approves it. If they don't, then I will have Adam do one on our insurance. I would rather pay for it now then much more damage done in the future. The three weeks is how long is will take to get the MRI done and the results back. Since it is ordered for him not to work, he will get paid WC while he is off work.

[ladymelissa]

I hope they approve it and quickly!

[brewsells]

I hope they approve it and quickly!
Me too! If I haven't heard from them by Monday, I will be burning up the phone lines. I work with insurance companies every day and often doing the same thing, so I know how to deal with them. I would just rather they do it than me.

Oh Holly I am so happy for you. congrats. Jezz i am gone for about 2 - 3 weeks and missed out on all kinds of stuff.

Holly, I'm so sorry to hear about Adam's injury. THat's really terrible that the Dr. released him without taking the best care just so his work wouldn't have to pay worker's comp. It's just one of those things that irks me about the irresponsibility of some docotors who are only in it for what they can get out of it and not for the care of people. I hope that he is okay, and that the w/c will pay for his MRI and that he'll be feeling better soon!

Thanks, Maria. I am really hoping this doesn't turn out to be really serious. My dad tore the same muscle in his knee last summer and had to have surgery on it.
He is doing allright this morning. He is pretty sore still though. He can't walk well and has to have help to get off the couch. The second Dr he went to put him on some type of a steroid for his back. The Dr did an xray on his back and said it looked OK, but that his spine is straight, which shows that there is some tension on it (the spine is supposed to have a natural curve to it). The steroids are supposed to help with the muscles, I think. Adam said they seem to be helping.
