Sunsets in Arizona are the best

As I stepped outside I just looked up and saw a very beautiful blue and pink sky. So I decided to take some quick pics, it may get 115 degrees but the sunsets are the best.

Getting crafty

I try every so often to do something crafty even though I am not the most imaginative person. So I did a class at my house and we created a book dedicated to Wicked the Musical. We took images from a book bought at the musical and created a book that is super cute and could also be used for Halloween. I was really proud of myself and the outcome of the book. I hope to put pictures from when my sister-in-laws, my mom and me all went to cali for a girls trip to see the musical and have a fun time.

Scorpions!

I have decided it is time to move in the last 2 days I have killed 4 scorpions in my house and tonight I killed one in my bed. As I went to bed and was about to turn my light out I see one heading right at me. I was lucky enough to kill it before it could get me but I have decided I need to take action. Making a 12:30am call to the pest control guys I hope they come and help me out because I just might have to move if this is not taken under control and soon.

Stitches..

Today at school I was finishing up my lesson with my kids right before lunch, I went to pull the chair out to sit and lost my balance and fell back into the white board. My kids where really worried and came up to help I asked them to all have a seat because I was okay. The next thing I know one of my kids says to me "Ms. Heap you are bleeding" I look down and there is blood dripping on from my head. I calmly ask one student to call the front office and when he couldn't get ahold of anyone I sent another to go get help. The next thing I know my kids are being ushered out while half the staff has come in to help.
I was sent to the nurse and Sarah my sister-in-law came and took me so that Greg could stitch me up at my dad's old office. After changing and cleaning up I went back to see my kids they where so worried and concerned bet they really pulled through for me and even had some get well cards for me. It was a great way to make a name for myself at my new school.

Camping with the family

Ok so the Heap reunion was over a month ago and I am now putting up the pictures. We all had a great time seeing family and friends and just hanging out getting all dirty especially my nephews. We all had a great time the only sad thing was that my parents where not there to have a great time with us. We never realized how much my mom and dad do for us when we go camping, they are the glue that holds our family together.

Happy Birthday father dear!

This weekend was my dad's 57th Birthday, I can't believe that he is that old.. With my parents gone it really makes you reflect on life and how much you depend on your family and parents for the little things. I miss my parents so much but I know that they are doing the lords work and will be rewarded for there service someday. Happy Birthday Dad I hope it was a great one. Here are some things that make my dad wonderful.

1. He is always dragging us to some weird concert where I end up being the youngest one in the room by 25 years, but in the end I love it.

2. He gives so much of himself not just for the mission but for other things as well. I remember once we where in Cali eating at Joe's crab shack and two Marines sat at the table next to us to eat. When we left dad pulled about $60 out of his wallet and gave it to them and said "thank you for your service" and walked out. I was so impressed by this small act of kindness and appreciation for these men who risk everything to keep our country free.

3. HIs endless banjo playing trying to make it perfect (which I miss these days now that the house empty)

4. The trip with Marty which seemed to never end, the phrase "I want to be a cowboy" will never have the same meaning to me ever again. Now looking back it was a great trip.

5. How much he does for me as a daughter I never felt left out or over looked because I was a girl he always made the effort to spend time with me and do those things that fathers should do with their daughters.

What can I say I love my dad he is the most amazing man that I could ever know and will forever be blest to have him in my life...
