So we can Not get married on the 26th after all.. I am so sorry for all of you who have booked that day off. We are actually going to get married on the 25th. We think... we are just making sure that will be ok with all the family. I went to book a place to get married and nothing and I mean nothing is available on the 26th. No park no building.. nothing. So I made sure before i told you all but it looks like the 4th north church will be open on the 25th so thats the day it will be as long as chads family can come and mine too. But im very very sorry for all this confussion and wishy washy mess. I hope you can all still come! But just plan on the 25th of september which is a friday. Thanks for your patience...

and the wedding date is....

2009-08-02T20:01:00.000-07:00

So a lot has happened in the last little while.. Chad and I have decided to set a date and just move forward. If the temple wedding happens then we will be thrilled. Otherwise it will have to wait a year. I will be going through in st george the weekend of my bridal shower for anyone interested in that. The date of the wedding is going to be September 26th! It is on a Saturday. We will have a reception in Moab. That is for sure. Anything else about that day is unsure. I just wanted you all to keep that day empty so you can come to my reception. If you will be needing a motel room for that event let me know. I have some set aside. Thank you all for your support and Love and hope you can make it.

Wedding date drama

2009-07-19T11:48:00.000-07:00

Just a little FYI... For those of you who are wondering when this wedding will take place. Well, get in line cause I wonder that everyday! ha ha ha..
Here's the deal, without going into to much detail, Chad was previously married in the temple and so now has to get permission from the general authority in order to get Re-married in the temple. But before all that can happen His ex-wife has to answer a few questions and then send it in to Chads bishop for the stake president and all to see. She has decided to take her sweet little time (na.. Im not bitter! lol) So once we get that letter from her and then all the paper work gets sent to the general authority. Chads bishop is pretty sure that we will be able to make our September date. I'm trying to have faith but I am seriously starting to doubt it. I was informed by all the men in both my family and Chads that we can not get married around the deer hunt. (you might be a redneck if you have to schedule your wedding around the Hunt!) So I am hoping for September 19th at best the 26th. If it doesn't happen then, we may have to post pone it until November or even December! We'll see.. I am hoping for the best here. So I am very very sorry I can't give you more of a notice. So I will totally understand if there are some of you that cant make it.
Mom and I are trying to get everything ready anyway. My dress will be here tomorrow and we have already decided on invites. Mom and I are going to make those. Alysia will be taking our pictures and we are just moving forward with the planning weather or not we have a date. So if you could all get me your addresses that would help me out a ton!! You can send me your address to my email at shupebj@yahoo.com..
Anyway, I will let you all know when I know when this will all be taking place. I love you and thank you for your patience, cause Im running out. lol...

P.S. Just so you know I love Chad very much and will wait as long as I have to to marry him for eternity.

Im engaged!!!!!

2009-06-07T17:47:00.000-07:00

Well it's official! I am engaged to Chad Bigler. Thats right all, my new name is going to be Bobbie Jean Bigler. Or to most everyone else.. BJ Bigler.. lol He asked me Saturday night June 6th 2009. Well I didnt get off work til 12am so I guess it was really sunday.. he said he needed to get to the store to get something. So I went with him. He was in Moab just visiting. Then on the way back from the store he drove up to my thinking spot instead of going home. My spot over looks moab, its a beautiful spot. It is also the first spot i took him to in Moab when we just started dating. He did it so late at night cause we first met at around 12:30 am at a 7-11 in Vernal. So it all kind of had a reason. When we got there he had the most beautiful roses and some sparkling cyder. He started saying some sweet things then got on his knee and popped the question. I giggled and cried and then of course said yes. It was the sweetest cutest thing. I couldnt be more happy. He is the sweetest guy ever. I am such a lucky girl. We are thinking we'd like to get married Either September 13th or 19th. We are thinking it will be in the Monticello temple with a reception in Moab. We will live in Vernal Utah. Which I hope to be moving there in the next few weeks. So thats my news.. this is the ring I got for Chad its a tungston. Its pretty cool looking..

This is obviously my ring. Which I love!!!! Im so proud of it. cant you tell.. lol

2009-05-26T22:21:00.000-07:00

Over Memorial Weekend I went up near Browns park near Vernal. It is Chad's grandfather Walkers land. I got to hang out with A lot of Chads family! They are all so nice and A lot of fun. We had a great time. Even though it rained everyday. nearly all day. I also got real sick and mostly slept one whole day.. But I had a great time! Im glad I got to go.. Above here is Uncle Mike and a member of there Adopted family. There watching Uncle Greg use his tractor to put out a fire..

Here is how camping should be. Camp trailers and four wheelers! lol The one on the left is Chads trailer the one on the right is his Dad's.. Oh but dont worry. everyone had there own trailer. and the further you go around the circle of trailers the nicer they got! And I mean NICE!

On one of the days we all went to Jones hole which is a fish hatchiery. It was cool to see the process. You get to see them real small to bigger and bigger.. Then on a different day Chad and I went for a drive and played in the mud. And yes it was raining...

Fun weekend!

2009-04-02T13:42:00.000-07:00

It sure has been a very long times sense I have updated this blog. I guess it's high time I do it. Winter is on it's way out of this state and I couldnt be more happy..

I have a lot to update you on. I moved back to Moab in February. I got a job working at the front desk of Holiday Inn Express. I have started taking my classes online and so far im doing good with that. About the time I moved to Moab I met Chad Bigler. We are still dating and things are going really well. I am so very happy with him and think there might be alot more of him in my future. I decided I would just give you a quick update and then attach some photos.... So I will try to explain the photos now....

This is me and Chad on our way to go four wheeling

This is Chadwhick Don Bigler

We all know what this is. I put this on here to let you know where I am living these days.

This is my cute little niece Sierra. She got to spend about two weeks here in Moab with us. Shasta came for just a few days. It was nice to have them around. I took this picture of our little artest..

That is all the pictures for now I hope I will do better at keeping up on this...

Girl Reunion

2008-11-15T11:33:00.000-08:00

Me & my married friends..
(picture on the top right, from right to left)
Bonnie Palmer, Alysia Thomas,
Bobbie Jean Shupe and Tami Ginocchio.
It was so fun thanks for doing this.
lets keep it up! Love you gals..

We had our girl reunion October 21st. There were so many girls that didn't get to come.. Im sorry you missed out.. Cause we sure missed you! Cassie, Amy, Jessie, Amber, Amiee, Just to name a few. Well just a heads up. We are planning a 4-wheeler camping trip in Moab this spring. I am going to make sure it happens! So girls keep that in Mind and try to plan on it we want you there...

In October we got to go out to a ranch that Bonnie and Benton run. It is always so great. Not to mention They are so great to let us do it there. Benton is so good, he lets us sleep in till, well lets just say late. But then again we didn't get to sleep until, was it 4am? Anyway.. we wake up to Benton making us food... Bonnie got herself a good man! After we got our Brunch done we went horse back riding over the most amazing trail. The one scenic picture is the view we had on our trail ride. Alysia, im sure, remembers all the horses names.. Not me sorry.. After we get back and unload from our horses and Bonnie losing her shirt on the sattle horn. ha ha.. we head back to go shoot some guns. Again Benton was nice enough to regulate that situation.. ha ha. Aren't we a group of cow girls.. ha ha.. We had such an amazing time. Thanks again Palmers.. I hope we can keep this tradition going.

Fall in Logan.....

2008-09-30T20:25:00.000-07:00

These pictures where taken by my phone so the quality is not that great at all. Every saturday I try to go on a hike some where up Logan canyon. Ok so I haven't missed a Saturday sense I moved to Logan. Oh except the one when it was raining. Anyway, the colors are so amazing. This past weekend was so beautiful. I could get lost in those woods for hours. But I tell my roommates to send a search party if I'm not back by a certain time. So I can't really be gone all day, just most of it. I love to go hiking alone it's my chance to pray and think. Kind of my destresser. Some tell me that is not the smartest thing. Hate to tell ya I probably wont stop going alone. I know you are only worried cause you love me (thanks Mom and Alysia) Sorry I am stuburn but I can't give this beauty up!!! Anyway... I wanted to share a little taste of what I get to experience when I go on my hikes.. Wish I could share this with you in person cause the colors are so much more rich and amazing in person. Or with a better Camera...

I love the fall. So Long to September... Hello October...

Oh and Happy 28th Birthday Alysia Thomas and Chad Cannon Love you guys....

here are some pictures...

2008-08-15T19:51:00.000-07:00

This is another picture of my bed room....

This here is part of my living room..

another part of my living room...

The picture below is just one great view I have found in cache valley. Trust me that is not even close to the best view. This valley is so beautiful every where you look. I hope I can get a few more of the valley here so you all can see why I chose Logan to live. I am telling you it is so beautiful.

Well there are a few pictures for ya.. I am loving it here so far. I miss the people I left behind. But this has been a great move so far. I can tell how much happier in life I am already. Keep an eye out for more to come.

MOVING TO LOGAN (bye St George)

2008-08-07T10:21:00.000-07:00

It has been awhile sense I have written a new post. I guess it's been a bit of a busy summer. A lot has happened. However I have very little time to write even now. I am moving tomorrow to Logan Utah. I am sad and excited all at once. I am sad to be leaving all my amazing friends here. Also all my co-workers. I know that may sound silly but I will miss the place I used to work. Well today is my last day. I think I have gotten teary eyed once or twice already today. I am truly going to miss everyone. I am just excited to see how my life will change. So I'm sad, nervious and excited all at once.. I will be posting some pictures of my new place very soon so keep an eye out for those pictures.

Beautiful Zion....

2008-06-18T15:10:00.000-07:00

Saturday the 14Th my roommate Meredith and I decided that we would go hiking up at Zion. mind you it was 103 degrees on Saturday. so you could say we where warm. It is a beautiful hike. That would have been my third time on that hike. I still love it. I love any hike that is mostly shaded. Now that's the way to go. If you notice in the pictures my face is red. That is what happens when I get heated up. I even had a guy tell me I needed to start wearing sunscreen. uh.. thanks dude! I'm not burnt. it's 103 outside and I'm hiking up a hill give me a break! Also, on the way down I eat it hard. I was laughing so hard at my stupid self. Mean while this poor little old woman was all worried about me. To say the least it was comical. We are always up for a good adventure outside. Keep a look out for more summer fun....

Bye Mike...

2008-06-17T11:05:00.000-07:00

On Friday June 13th all the people I work with (well most everyone) had a dinner at the pizza factory for Mike. He is leaving us. He is going on a mission to Mexico City. This was our farewell dinner of sorts.. Aren't I so lucky to work with such amazing people. Who could ask for more?

This is Mike

My first time at a Zoo, EVER... Yipee

2008-06-06T11:26:00.000-07:00

On wednesday my roommate and I went to the Holgo Zoo in Salt Lake. We where supposed to meet my sister and her family up there but they dogged us. I guess they thought it was raining to bad. However the whole time we where there it wasn't raining. So I guess they missed out on a great zoo trip. Anyway here are a few pictures of just some of the animals we saw that day.

Thanks to Sara I was Tagged...

How to play the blogisphere's game of tag: Post the rules on your blog. List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. Let them know they've been tagged by posting a comment on their blog.

3 Joys: Mountain Dew (which I have given up many times. It's a love hate thing) Beautiful spring outside wether, Family and friends, of course.
3 Fears: Failed marriage (could be why I'm still single) becoming extremely obese, and snakes. they freak me out when they are in a cage. The ones in nature don't bug me as much. weird I know but in nature they are happy and home. I don't bother them, they don't bother me sort of a thing. but when they're in a cage who knows how pisssssed they are... lol
3 Goals: Long term; to stay healthy. to get an interior design degree. Short term; become spiritually in tune...
3 Obsessions/collections: checking my email. It's almost a habit. Mountain Dew, off and back on. I just can't want to give it up. uuugg.. and uhhh... I love music. I always have to have it on.

3 Random surprising facts about myself: I played basketball with Woody Harrelson. (he is a nice guy) my favorite sport to play is Volley Ball ( is that Random?) UMM... I'm not very random or surprising.. but here is a little something funny. There has never been a guy that I kissed that ever wanted to end things with me. I am always the one who ends things. Once you Kiss the beegster you just don't want anything else. haha.. I really don't think that's it. However it is a true fact. but I have been dumped or turned down by boys. Just not by ones I kissed. So there you go...

THOSE THAT I TAGGED KNOW WHO THEY ARE.... SMOOCHES...

TRIBUTE TO GRANDMA SHUPE

2008-05-02T11:09:00.000-07:00

I got news yesterday that my dear sweet grandma Ella Shupe passed away. It is a biter sweet time. She had Alzheimer's and lived her last few years in a nursing home. Which was no life. So as you can imagine we are happy to see her in a better place. However, thinking of the years we lost to her disease is making me feel a little gypped. She has missed so much of our lives and we have missed so much of hers. Anyway.. here are some things I remember about my grandma CB...
the smell of her pink soap, Bath time at her house, patty cake, her songs, how she loved birds and flowers, her wrinkly old hands how soft they where, her sugar cookies, her long black hair that she would roll in a bun, her lunches she would make for me. She bought some romaine noodle soup and didn't know how to make it so she made her own little noodle soup out of there already packaged soup. It was good too. I remember she liked to read the readers digest, hunting arrow heads, soft hugs, and many, many other things that I will not list here. But I just want to say that I love you grandma.. I will miss you until we can meet again.

weekend in Moab

2008-04-30T11:13:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I got to take my roommate Meredeth to Moab for the car show. We had a great time. We hiked up to the delicate arch. Went to the car show (of course). We hiked up to a beautiful water fall called left hand. Then we went to one of my dads mines and rode the four wheeler all over. We had such a great time. It was so good to get away. Here are just some of the photos I took. However I forgot the camra on a lot of our adventures. But here is a little taste..

That is me under the delicate arch

Me, a marathon runner...., WHAT?

2008-04-14T09:12:00.000-07:00

Everyone invovled with the biggest loser contest was asked to run in the Marathon for kids. So that meant me. That's right ya'll I ran in a marathon. No one was there to take a real picture of me. I had to get some proof some how. So this picture is from my phone at a weird angle. So here is my proof. I ran the 5K which really is no big deal to anyone else. However, I was very proud of myself. I only have two more weeks reamining in this biggest loser contest. So I really have to work hard for the nest two weeks... I will let you know how it goes later..

2008-03-26T15:12:00.000-07:00

So it is official.. I am the proud owner of this new Chevy Equinox. Sunrooof, leather seats, mp3 player, many extras... I am so excited. I am not posting this to brag at all. If any of you know anything about me you know that this is a long time dream come true. I have been wanting a new SUV sense before I was 16 years old. I have to say I am posting this just to let you know that dreams do come true. If you are willing to pay for um.. hahaha...

Big Loser...

2008-03-17T10:32:00.000-07:00

So this past weekend I joined a Biggest Loser contest for 6 weeks... My friend Alysia talked me into doing it.. Which I have to say might just be the motivation I need to get some weight off.
I am a little uneasy about how it's all going to go. However I am still very excited and totally commeted. This week anyway.. So wish me luck. I will try to keep you up dated on my progress. So for the next six weeks no tempting me... I need all the support I can get. I want to lose the most out of everyone in my group on a weekly bases.. GOOOO... ME!!

2008-03-14T14:09:00.001-07:00

2008-03-14T11:04:00.000-07:00

So I realize that blogs are mostly for families. However, for me it's a great way to keep in touch with all my married friends. ha ha ha.. So I hope it works. otherwise it wil just be silly for a single girl like myself to have a blog.. But hey I never saw any rules on these things... hahaha anyway.. welcome to my blog I hope to keep ya'll informed on my lifes happenings...
Enjoy..
