The End

Yeah. I can't even believe it. It's all over. Not even 5 years. I have a broken heart and no idea what to do. I still love Brooke and will forever. What are you even supposed to do when you get divorced? I really have no idea.

New Post

Wow! It's been about 8 months since we have added anything on here. But I will try and update it more often, now that we have the Interweb.

Homer Simpson, "Oh, they have the Internet on computers now." :)

I hope everything is going well with all my family. Kelley just graduated from High School (yay) and they all took a trip to Vegas to celebrate. Brookie and I had to stay here because we were working and schooling. But I hope they had fun.

So yes, after almost a 2 year hiatus, I am back in school. It feels great. I am happy that we are financial able to do this and still live very comfortably. I hope that we can continue to do so for a while. I don't want any more time like last year, where we had to scramble for jobs and money. I want a little normalcy.

I will end here for now, but more to come. Enjoy your June weather. Rain plus Sun. YAY!!!

Our Kittens!!

About two weeks ago, Scott and I headed to the Humane Society of Utah, where we fell in love with two adorable kittens! The moment we sat down and played with them, we realized they were meant to be ours! :) We've been thinking about adopting kittens for a few months now, and the timing was just perfect for them to come home with us! We love them so so much! :)

This is my kitten named Kit Kat... she is a big puff ball!

She likes to hide in the blinds :)

This is Scott's kitten named Carissa. She much more shiny with shorter hair.

She is also very curious...

Here they are sleeping... awww!
Watch Kit Kat play with her toy while Carissa is sun-bathing... such cuties!

We Love Our Kitties!

A Summer of Sickness

If you are an avid reader of BrookieandScotty.blogspot.com, then you already know that both Scotty and I have been feeling very sick indeed this summer. You know that beyond all the stomach-aches and stress and missed sleep, I have also enjoyed a nice little bout of pneumonia back in June. But ever since then I've been continually getting little 2-day colds (or at least what feel like colds) that go away with a full day's rest. As it turns out, they haven't been colds. Last Thursday evening I got so completely sick that I was up all night... my entire body hurt, my head felt like it might explode, my throat was so completely swollen that I could barely swallow, I was disoriented and shaky and weak... Friday morning I dragged myself to my doctor's office. Sitting alone with a fever of 101 degrees, just waiting for the doctor, I became dizzy and delirious. I was exhausted though I'd just gotten up for the day. Even they couldn't tell what I had, so they had to draw my blood (Not a story for the faint of heart, believe me!) for some lab analysis. The call came today about my results: Mononucleosis.

Mono.
a.k.a. The Kissing Disease.
Cause: Unknown
Effects: Awfulness
Treatment: Rest and Painkillers.
Time: One to two months.

Oh, goody. I get to spend the rest of my summer in bed.

Hi!

Hello everyone! I know, I know... I finally got back to blogging regularly and then suddenly stopped. And why? Who knows... It could be any of the following reasons:

• I have a stomach ache.
• I've been working out more which somehow makes me forget to blog.
• I've been getting to bed earlier and waking up earlier which somehow makes me forget to blog.

• Or, work has been extremely busy and there's simply not enough hours in the day to do everything I have to do plus blog.

Yes, that is probably it. I sincerely apologize to all of our faithful readers and/or people that are forwarded this blog whether they'd actually seek it out or not.

As for Scott and me... we are doing very well! We had Scott's very best friend Nick and his wife Tabitha over for dinner and Pinochle on Friday night, and I must say that I had an absolute blast! Scott cooked steak and potatoes, and we had fruit salad and yummy banana splits with Spumoni ice cream and cherries on top! Seriously, such a good meal! I got to talk with Tabitha a lot, which was really nice since I don't really hang out with my girl friends too much any more. They are all busy with their own stuff, and one of my best friends, Michelle, has been gone for a month on her mission. I really feel like Tab and I can become really good friends, as long as they don't move up to Oregon or out of state any time soon. It's really great hanging out with them, since they are nice people who are a lot of fun, and we definitely share a lot of the same values! We are heading over to their place tomorrow night too (Scott and Nick want to play their Star Wars games or something...), so that will be fun. I just simply love having a good time with new friends. Yay!

A Birthday Post

This is Scott, and it's my birthday!! Today has been the absolute most best day ever thanks to my lovely wife Brooke, who is pretty and smart and perfect. And crazy. Hey, it's sad, but true. Today's events have included the following:

• Golfing with my Dad, while Brooke drove the golf cart around like a maniac. She's a maniac! A Maniac!!! She actually tried to run over some geese.
• Shopping at Targets and Best Buys, but not JC Pennies. Even though Kelley was working there, some things are more important... than Kelley.
• Playing two games of Mario Party with Brooke, in which I totally kicked her butt.
• Lunch at the Olive Garden, where they sang to me and over-garlic-ed my food. It was pretty good... NOT.
• Going to the movies to see The Incredible Hulk, which was amazing. Except for all the parts with Liv Tyler. DULL. I'm excited for the sequel which includes Iron Man... YEYEha!!
• Now I am at my Dad's house with family (Taylor and Adalynn and Riley... and some girl I think is named Kellie... kelly... Keltic... Kelley something... and Brooke the Crazy Geese Murdering Person, etc.), and we are going to dinner... Who knows where? I do, but it's a secret...

Stay tuned! All in all, it's been an amazing Birthday. Perhaps awkward. We'll see.

Happy Birthday, Scottie!!

Dear Darling,

Happy 22nd Birthday!! I love you with all my heart! Thank you for being so wonderful! I hope your birthday (and every day) is filled with wonderful moments that you remember for eternity.

Love always,
Brookie
