A little update on the hubby...

So between crazy rotations, long drives to those rotations, elders quorum and studying.... The hubby has found a little bit of time for play!! The last couple weeks Rhett has been playing on a city league Basketball team... The boys put together a team that consisted of a bunch of boys from Southern Utah... oh and Todd McClenaghan... we let him be on the team because.... ummm... he is thinking about moving to Southern Utah (he-he)j/k... Here are the boys after one of their final games...
A couple of weeks ago, Rhett headed back to the SG for a very quick 3 day trip to go hunt for some deer!! I was sad i had to stay home and work, i really wanted to see the fall leaves change, so Rhett took this picture so that i wouldn't miss out...
I guess it is better than any of the trees in Arizona!!

Well after the first day he didn't have a deer... so i was thinking he would come home empty handed... But don't you worry!! He didn't disappoint!!! A couple hours before he was suppose to hop on a plane he caught this little guy!! Poor little deer never saw it coming... Good job Honey!!

Camelback!!!

Rhett's parents were nice enough to pay a us visit the other week!!! We were excited to finally show them where we live and where Rhett goes to school. It was so nice of them to come see us!!
Rhett and Burke showed them all over Phoenix... including taking them on hike up Camelback!! Rhett said the views are beautiful and the hike was pretty long... too bad i had to work (wink, wink)!!!

This is the only group photo we took while they were here... i have seriously got to back into picture taking mode!!

Laguna Beach

Back in September Rhett's mom planned a girls trip to Laguna Beach... This is an annual tradition for the ladies of the Frei Family... but since Rhett's parents have been in Brazil-- practically since we have been married, this is the first year i was able to go!!! It was so beautiful!! Here is a picture of the view off of our hotel balcony. This was taken on the morning we were leaving... it was so beautiful, and the three days we WERE there it was super foggy until about 3 in the afternoon... But, we still got plenty of sun and a had a great time!


Here is a picture of all us on the beach... This is the only picture we got of the four of us together... Me, Rhetts mom, Bevin, and Grandma Bonnie-- Rhett's Grandma.
Our Hotel was so awesome, they had towels and chairs down at the beach for their guests everyday!


We saw this guy out on the pier with LOTS and LOTS of birds... Grandma Bonnie really wanted to see them, so the owner of the birds said "No, no, you dont just look at them..." And then he started placing the birds all over these three!! The bird in the middle pooped on Grandmas head... and the bird on the left bit Bevin!! The whole event was pretty entertaining!!

Racing with the Hansen's!!

Well, a few weekends ago, we were lucky enough to have my parents come visit. My little Brother JorDan had another Race out in Surprise, Rhett and I both had the day off so we spent most of Saturday out there!! It was so great to see them... We are lucky enough to have them come for Races pretty often, and i ALWAYS forget to take pictures... so this is the best i got...
I actually love this one of Rhett and my Dad for some reason... And below my parents contemplate about the race with my little bro!! Good job Jor!

A little of what we have been up to....

Well, Rhett finished Surgery and moved on to his Primary Care Rotation... and i couldnt e more excited for the better, well at least a little more normal hours!! During the quick two day semi-break he had, we headed to the temple, and of course Cafe Rio!!
Well, we FINALLY hiked Thunderbord mountain the other morning. Yes, that is right we have lived here for two years and never hiked the wonderful beautiful mountain that is half a mile from our house. Now we regret we didnt do it more!! The view is gorgeous(minus the early morning smog) you can see all the way to downtown phoenix, all the way to the stadium and even most of surprise. Gorgeous views, if you havent hiked it yet!! Excuse the pic. we literally rolled out of bed to go...

The Frei's are going GREEN!!!!

Since, we have been home from Utah, it seems we have been seriously busy!! Rhett is his Surgery rotation... and life couldn't be more lonely!! He is gone so much-- i feel so bad for him, just looking at him i feel tired!! But today is the last day(YAY!!! shout from the roof tops, get surgery out of here, and never let me return until next year!!).
BTW-- for you future surgery rotater wives out there, my hubby left at 530 this morning(no exaggerating) and it is 6:15 and guess who is still not home?? When Rhett went on the first day, he asked the intern
"So, what is my schedule like??"
the Intern replied with, "Be here by six, and when we are done we are done."


Holy Crap!! I haven't decided what is worse on my part, Not knowing WHEN the heck he is coming home, or feeling horrible when it is 7 at night and he is still not home!! Not to mention, i cant talk to him the WHOLE day! AAAHHH... but alas, today is the last day...


So, while Rhettser has been away(so to speak) I have done some re-organizing. Organizing is one of my favorite past times... i know pathetic... sometimes i just pull things out of closets just so that i can reorganize it(how lame o is that, I should get another hobby, but i cant i am addicted to organizing things). So my kitchen cupboards have been driving me crazy, we have these HUGE, very TALL cupboards in our kitchen, wonderful dont you think??? Not so much, our dear wonderful, crazy apt. people only out one shelve in them!! Seriously look how tall they are?? I can stack 2 HUGE cans of oatmeal on top of each other, they are so tall, who has anything that tall in a cupboard??? So i originally bought some shelves and that worked a little. Then i went to our new wonderfully, large, newly remodeled, and added Walmart Supercenter, and found stacking shelves and they work wonders for can storage!! So i bought four and for $20 i saved a little bit of sanity and time when i am in the kitchen, i DONT, repeat dont like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen!! Beautiful, dont ya think???



Also, i have been wanting to spruce up our living room a little, i feel like it needed a little make-over... My friend and i made these cute hanging things that we copied from another friend, who copied them from pottery barn... you make the picture bigger... I love mine, but lately i am way into shelves and picture stacking, so i decided to take down the cute picture hanging thing(i don't even know what to call it, but it is cute) after getting it down.. i decided to ummm... paint!!!




And well the product... Lime green... it was way brighter and lime-y on the walls then i expected... and i thought Rhett was going to flip when he saw the color... and i was a little worried at first but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!!



It is so fun and different and so not WHITE... especially since all our furniture is white... Seriously what was i thinking, a white sofa?? I definitely was not thinking about anything except i wanted micro-fiber and at the time this is the only color i could find!! And do you like my sofa, i have several friends that have the same one, in different colors too!! I am a little jealous... i really wanted a sage green one... but then again if my sofa was green i could have never painted my wall lime green!!! So this is the Frei's way of going green... oh and i do also take my own bags to the grocery store now, so i am trying to do my part.... and really go green....




****By the way... 6:30 now and still no word from the hubby, that means he has been working 13 hours!! So sad!!!****
