I remember telling people that I have a new boyfriend and he won't leave me alone and I love it. In no time at all we were married. Paula and David offered their beautiful house to be married in and so that is where our ceremony took place. When I went to sign the marriage license is when I realized that I actually got married in Claysprings Arizona. Billy swept me off my feet and he takes such great care of me. I love him so much. We moved to Queen Creek, Arizona and moved into a roomy two story rental house. It was extremely roomy until I moved in. I was able to fill the house and the garage. All Billy had was a TV and a bed, that was it!
I found a hygiene position in Scottsdale and was grateful to have a job, however, I had to have a surgery and when I returned after a week my job it didn't last long. Dr, Millet wanted someone different and so I was let go. Billy also lost his job from RDO Equipment. The economy his both of us quite hard.
With no work, we decided to at least move back where there was family to be by and so we found a house to rent in Show Low and looked for work all over that area. Billy found a job at Chase, he had a heart attack and wasn't able to take the exams like he needed to take to stay in Show Low and so he was transferred to Prescott Valley to a new Chase Store that is in the Fry's Store. So we moved once again to Prescott Valley and I have been looking for jobs every since...
We added two family members to our clan about a year ago, Kay Kay is a female yorkie and Tator Tot is a male yorkie. They add a lot of joy to our lives and they are spoiled rotten.
KIDS:
Kathryn lives in Tacoma, Washington - she is going to school to be a medical coder. She was a chef but due to hand surgery she has had to trade professions. She will be 30 in August.
Billy the IV lives in Sandpoint, Idaho and works hard hauling wood and taking care of his daughter Lily. Billy will be 22 in October and Lily will be 4 in August.
Zac and Tai have two sons, Kegan Troy and Kamren Blaze. They live in Maricopa and are hard workers keeping their house going. Zac turned 26 last Dec.
Nicholas recently graduated from Air Force basic training and will graduate from teck school this month. He will come a visit for a week and then will be stationed in Japan for 2 years. He is so excited about going there. We are excited for him as well
Lance is....well I heard he recently moved to Tucson and is working for Cha Cha. I don't hear from him.
Marisa got her driver's permit and turns 16 in May. She is on the track team and is doing well in school.
Lindee will be 12 on April 2 and she is doing well in school. She makes friends easily and is looking forward to summer.
Kay Kay and Tator Tot are also looking forward to summer so that we can leave the doors open for them to go outside and bask in the sunshine.
I will learn how to post pictures to share at some point.

Billy and Konnie's Beginning

Bill and Konnie met on an internet site called LDS Planet. I was browsing through profiles and I received an IM message from Bill. He said Hi! is all. I texted back Hi! and that is where it began. I felt a connection from that first texting, but he wouldn't contact me after a week, so I wrote a note to him and left my e-mail and my phone number. That was a costly mistake...He called me all the time and my phone bill was over $300.00 dollars. I got him a phone with my company and ended that expense. We talked over the phone, e-mail, and texts for over three weeks before we decided to meet in person. He was living in Peoria and I was living in Show Low at the time.
Our first date:
Billy drove to Show Low to meet me. I had a day date all planed out, but my plans were drastically changed by Billy. He didn't want to go along with my plans, he just wanted to drive around and talk, so that is what we did. We drove to Pinetop, Snowflake and all around Show Low, and he did all of the talking...when he left, I was starving, so I took the carefully packed picknick home and devoured all of it, as I told Marisa and Lindee all about my interesting date.

Let's start at the very beginning....

I am jumping on board the blog craze wagon. Today it is snowing and it is cold, so instead of tracking down dental offices today, I decided to stay indoors and do laundry, work on geneology and create a blog for Billy and Me. When I learn how to download pictures and fun stuff, then I will be posting those things too.
