Our Lovesac Story

So I sold our Lovesac this morning! Yes somebody really wanted this bright pink and fluffy sac! I wanted to tell my story about it. I won this off the radio probably 6 years ago (when I used to win everything off the radio!). We went to pick it up and it didn't come with a cover. If any of you are familiar with these things, you want one due to the fact that the under layer is cream and will get dirty fast and can't be washed. So anyway, it was around Valentines Day and they had this super cute hot pink cover on display that I just had to have! Wouldn't match ANYTHING, but I didn't care! So it was way expensive as they all were, but they were having a deal that day to go along with the Valentines spirit. If you sat on their Lovesac and kissed for 14 minutes, you could have 50% off the price. WOW that was a deal. So Kyle and I sat and held a kiss for what seemed like FOREVER ... ha ha ... and got 1/2 off! They didn't even make us do the entire 14 minutes. We had my neice Breanne with us that day and the poor girl was a little embarrassed I think! So we have enjoyed our Lovesac, but we don't really use it much, its huge and just takes up lots of space. BUT I don't think I ever would have thought to sell it w/o the fabulous book I read below .....

This book has seriously changed our lives forever! I can't even tell you how much we needed something like this. Thanks Krisitine for borrowing the book to us! We actually saw his seminar when he came to SLC a few months ago as well. He is AWESOME! Kyle has been listening to him on the radio for years and I finally decided to see what he was all about. The book was a true eye opener, a slap in the face! We have changed our ways and its amazing what we have accomplished in just the last six months. His plan is not a get rich quick anything, it takes time and lots of discipline. Its a simple process to get out of debt and stay that way. A complete lifestyle change. I mean who really wants to be in debt and always owe on cars, credit cards, etc?? NOT ME! If I told you everything, I would be typing forever and ever. Those who have already gotten an earful from Kyle and I know what I mean. We really wanted this change and that is why it is working for us. I encourage everyone to read this book. As Dave Ramsey says ... "If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else". Its so true!

Utah Lake

We went out the weekend after Bear Lake to Utah Lake with Nick and Tracy. It was a perfect day for boating! While in Bear Lake Kyle wanted Grace to ride on the tube with him. Thankfully for my nerves, Grace didn't want to. I wasn't even having my 3 year old out in that water! Then I saw the cute 2 year old girls get on and take a ride. They had a blast! So when we got to Utah Lake, Kyle asked Grace again and she wanted to go this time (and Mom let her). She LOVED it! Good thing she has such a fun Dad because Mom is a chicken, cluck cluck!


BFF's fishing on the back of the boat.


Getting ready for a fun ride!


Driving the boat .... NOT!


Wooo hooo

Bear Lake

CHEESE!! We are here! This is the campground when it was pretty much empty. Oh boy did it get busy!! We had a great spot at the place we go every year with good friends!


Kohen loving up the beach! He did super good on this camping trip! Thank goodness for trailers, I don't think I could have tented it!


Grace and her Daddy playing on the beach!


Kohen and I on the boat! The babies love the boat ride. Nick and Tracy brought their newbie too, along with the boat. Thanks guys, it was fun!


Our doggies love the water! We hit up the North Beach were the water is warm and shallow, the beach is great and the doggies can roam.


Mr. & Mrs. Biggs ... xoxo


Kohen in his cute swim trunks! He LOVES water, so we took him out to dip his feets!


Bear Lake is such a pretty blue, look at that water! This is the only pic I got of Kyle on the wake board because I was holding both kiddos, but he is really good at it!


Grace had so much fun at the beach! They went seashell hunting, played in the dirt and splashed in the water all day long!


We always stop to see Grandma Biggs who lives in Preston Idaho on our way out. She is just the sweetest thing ever! We look forward to our Bear Lake trip every year!
