Just Kidding

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....

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.

Dress

Got my dress today and I LOVE it! nuff said...

Wedding date drama

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!!!!!

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

random post of Chad and I..

So Chad and I where talking about how un photo genic we where when His mom over heard us and decided to take a few pictures of us.. So here are some of the results. Yea we are dorks and some of these are eewy geewy... but i thought Id share some with you anyway.. trust me, I spared you of the really eeeewy.... Geewy ones. So be glad of that. lol..

Memorial weekend with the Walker Fam

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..

Abover here is Aunt Mary Doing what we all did so well this weekend.. The other one here is the beautiful stream and the nice log bridge...

The ones below... The blue tractor and the crazy man on it is uncle Greg getting water from the stream to put out the fire.. the other.. well.. just a nice picture.

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!

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

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.....

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...

To the left is a picture of my new home. I didn't get the back yard but it is a big one. I love it.

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)

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....

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...

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
