Uber Fun Weekend

I had yet another fun weekend with CoDizzy! Friday we has a bbq at my moms, followed by an all day trip to the Salt Flats on Saturday.

But our fun didn't end there. Cody scored some tickets to see Aaron Lewis from Staind. I must say his voice is just as amazing in person. He carries such a unique tune, I have yet to hear of anyone that can replicate it. The best part of the show was at the end... No mic, just him and his guitar. His voice still radiated through the room. Such an amazing show. Defenitely will be going again when he comes to Salt Lake or Wendover.

We ended our night in a mini suite at the Montego Bay. Room was complete with a King size luxury bed, Hot tub jacuzzi in the room, a shower that doubled as a steam sauna and to top it off, Cody's arms for me to cuddle in.

I don't know how I will ever top that. I have a few things in mind, but only time will tell...

Xoxo,

He's a Keeper...

So, I've already came to the conclusion about Cody being a keeper a long time ago, but this guy is worth bragging about. He has seen me at some of my lows and last night was definitely in my top 5 moments of wanting to drop off the face of the Earth.

Many friends and family know that I have been trying to pay off a few things so that when I file for divorce so that I have nothing keeping me financially tied to my ex. But after a series of events I don't care to elaborate on, I've decided I am going to count my losses on this one and be done with it.

It seems that no matter what I try to do so that I don't screw myself financially, somehow the ex makes some choices that lead to consequenses that in turn fall back on me. The longer I wait for things to happen, they just don't get taken care of.

(Que in the "Knight in Shining Armor" music)

Cody was working in Idaho yesterday and felt helpless knowing he couldn't do anything to help my situation. So last night in the midst of a psychological mind fuck, he calls me and tells me he misses me and is sorry he couldn't be there for me earlier. And to make things even better, rather than going home after a 16 hour work day, he drove straight to my work just to hold me and make me calm.

It's the little things like that that makes me fall more and more in love with this guy. He knows how to treat and lady and knows just the right things to say to better my mood.

I feel truely blessed to have him in my life. I tell him that every day. And even though I remind him constantly, I tell him just once more as a just in case.

And it's not just Cody that has helped me through this hard time in my life. I have an amazing support system of friends and family.

My cousin Shelly is helping me with the divorce process every step of the way. My mom and my brothers are always there for me if need be. My nieces are my reason for existance. And my best friend worries enough for the both of us I know where I may faulter, she with be there to pick me up and strive to put me back together.

Kacey even went out of her way to call me on all her breaks and when she got home to make sure I was okay.

I love each and everyone in my life for making me who I am today. If I have left anyone out I hope you know that you all have impacted my life in many ways and I value each and every one of you.

Amazing conversational quotes from T-Rizzie and CoDizzy

After a belly full of laughs this weekend, I decided to share the funnyisms that I share with the Cody.

This first story takes place a few weekends ago at a furniture store. Cody and I were looking at furniture to get an idea of what he wants for his house when he decides to buy. We came across a rather sexy looking black  leather sectional with ottoman. For twenty minutes I tried selling him this couch :)


T: "This premium leather sofa makes any bachelor pad complete! These cushions are rather awesome to sink into when snuggling up to your loved one while watching a movie... It's also good on the knees and makes for easy clean up!"

C: "Stop that..."

T: (insert Kitty Crawl across the ottoman) "You know I would look really cute sitting on this couch..."


C: "And you are in the wrong job because you would make and excellent furniture saleswoman."


Unfortunately I was unsuccessful on this purchase... But I'm still working it.


Today at Walmart we ran into my parents. The cart had some unnecessary purchases (ie: fire pit on sale $31, lawn chairs... swiffer wet jet). My mom asked me what it was all for and I responded that I talk him into a lot of things he just doesn't need.

The conversation in produce between us went as follows...


T: "Now I feel bad... you don't have to buy the fire pit and chairs if you don't want to. I just love being able to sit by a fire with friends, roast marshmallows and have a few beers."

C: "It's ok because you let me frolic in your fun places."

A New Beginning!!!

We'll everyone, I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth, just been going out and having fun, making new friends. Enjoying life really.

As many know I have been dating an amazing guy recently and I am excited to see where it goes. At first I was worried because I wasn't sure how those close to me would react or feel about me dating so soon. I was expecting be criticized in every way possible, and maybe I have... but someone close told me that I  shouldn't have to sit around moping. I should be able to move on with my life, and if this guy I am dating is cool with the situation, then go for it!

Even friends and family told me if a guy could make me smile the way he does, I need to keep him around... I think I will.

Chivalry is definitely not dead with this one. He's a real gentleman who aims to keep me happy.  He takes me to events, we hang with friends... I even made a few new ones this past weekend.

So my adventures continue. Who knows where the path may lead, but I definitely feel it's going in the right direction.

Adding to my bucket list...

I got to looking online while curling in my blanket and decided on a few things to add on my bucket list.

1. Hot air ballooning: although I have somewhat of a fear of heights, I think that this experience will be exhilarating.

2. Go to the world's largest aquarium in Georgia: I love to see exotic fish and other marine creatures from all  over the world. I saw that they have a whale shark. How awesome is that!?!

3. Go diving in Tahiti, Great Barrier Reef and the Bahamas:   Some of the most beautiful diving spots in the world. I got certified for diving in 2009, I just haven't had the chance to put it to use.

I invite anyone to join me :)

Moving out and moving on...

Yesterday, I made the move to Riverton. There is no more turning back at this point.

It takes a lot of love for someone to stick around, but it takes a lot of love for yourself to be able to walk away. We both lived two completely different lives, heading into completely different directions, even counciling may not have been able to save us. But It was 7 years I invested into a marriage that I can really say is a definite learning experience.

I learned that when life seems its lowest, there is always your family there to help you pick up the pieces. I Only hope I grow from this a persue my dreams and I hope the best for Derrick. I hope he learns to take care of himself and learn how to live life on his own.

I know many say not to worry about the well being of their ex, but with personality I know myself enough to say that I will be willing to point him in the right direction.

No, that doesn't mean I would let either of us go back to eachother, but I will show him alternatives if he needed that guidence.

Once everything is finalized, I know it will be easier to walk away... Easier to breathe again... Easier to move on and find myself again.

Big Dreamer's Bucket List

My first posting as a Dreamer, I decided to make a bucket list. I'm hoping that you, my followers, will follow me on my journeys and invite you to partake in these tasks.

1. Swim with dolphins- those who have known me well know that I have always wanted a career as a marine biologist or anything that would bring me hands on with these amazing creatures. Any opprotunity that will let me spend a day... or a million with these beautiful mammals, I will take it in a heart beat. Whether its a trip to Discovery Cove or to sit by the petting pools at Sea World... I'm there.
2. Travel the world- If i could have the life of Samantha Brown and have my own show on the Travel Channel telling you where to vacation, and hot spots to "jet set"; I'd die a happy woman. Unfortunately, I have no sugar daddy, and I make an honest wage to make ends meet and keep me content. Until then, Hawaii is the furthest I have been from home.
3. Professional Photographer / Open a gallery- What started out as a favor for a friend building a modeling portfolio with a point and shoot camera has turned into a fun little hobby of mine. I'm not the greatest and haven't gone to school for photography, and pretty much what I've learned is from Youtube and costructive critisizm from a friend of mine. I like to take my "craptacular" DSLR (another topic for a later post) with me every once in a while, because I never know if I might witness something spectacular. I want to make art, post it in a gallery and I want people to look at my work and be in awe at the beauty I've captured...

Okay so my list isn't huge. Only 3 things at the moment, but I know with me having the attention span of a gold fish, I will add to it.

I invite any and all of you to join me on my journies and fulfill my bucket list throughout our lifetime.

Sweet Dreams and Dream Big,
Trina :)
