As many of you already know, I am a Scentsy Consultant. I am approaching my 2 yr Anniversary with this great company, and at the same time I have also hit a slump. It was great in the beginning, everyone bought from me, well now I have signed a lot of those loyal buyers up as a consultant and of course with that they took their family and friends with them.
I would like to continue to stay a consultant, but I need to find those new customers to host a party either at their house or at their office. I have my basket testers that make a perfect way to take this to your office. If you would like to borrow my basket so that you can smell all of the new Fall/Winter scents, please contact me. Please feel free to pass my name and info onto any of your friends who might be interested, I will greatly appreciate it.
If you read this and are wanting a great smell to linger throughout your house please go online to www.Scentsy.com/ATully and browse the catalog. If you have any questions please e-mail me at: FourTullys@msn.com or give me a call 407-3111
This month our Scent of the Month is: Vanilla Walnut A warm lingering fragrance created with hints of roasted walnut and sweet vanilla bean.
Doesn't that just sound like it will make your house smell wonderful this season!

Country Living..
We've been here now for a little over a month and I enjoy coming home more and more with each passing day. I love living this relaxed, quiet easy going life that we are living. The kids love getting up in the morning taking care of the animals in the house and then going outside to take care of the outside animals.
About 2 weeks ago now we finally got the horses out here. Billy is a friend of mine who has way too many horses and I rode his horse Goldie in some Rodeo's carrying sponsor flags and she is just a great horse, so he has in a round about way given her to me. He also had another horse name Tator that he just doesn't have time to work with, so he has brought him out here for me to work with. I love having them here, I feel like a child again, waking up early to go out with my grandpa and feed horses and clean stalls. Goldie is about probably 10-14 yrs old and is just a great well rounded horse, I plan on Michayla learning next Spring how to ride her, she would really like to do the mini-princess contests at some Rodeos and she is the best horse to learn on.
We also have two pigs, Wilbur and Charlotte. Yes we name our pigs even though we will be butchering them later this fall. Clay won Wilbur at the Vale Rodeo and my Sister/Jason & my mom/dad bought Charlotte to half. They are quite the entertainment for Amanda's girls when they come over. The pigs are either first to be seen or last before they leave. It's fun. Amanda has realized not to bring the girls out to what we now call the Tully Farm, in their new, nice, clean clothes/shoes. It just doesn't work when it's muddy, sandy, and poopy outside.. But the kids love it!
Things are busy, busy working, kids with school, Tess has been gone for about 3 weeks at the dog trainer for hunting this fall. Sadie thinks she doesn't need to be in the back yard, so she's been jumping out. Mick is contemplating going to Alaska this winter, Grannie's health is a worry. It just doesn't seem to ever be a typical day around here, but I think if it was a daily repeat we would be so bored!!

My Grannie...
(This is the way I want to always remember them, happy and healthy.)
It has been a very trying and stressful week for our family. My Grandma, whom I think I have always referred to as my Grannie, has been in and out of the hospital for the last month. First she wasn't keeping anything down, and now she has really just spiraled down to where she can barely hold a conversation with you or keep from closing her eyes from being so tired.
My mom has been at her bedside almost everyday this last week, helping her get a drink and getting to the bathroom. Mick and the kids and I went there on Sat to visit her and I was just taken back by how malnurished she looks. I began to cry and just thought that the kids shouldn't see her like this, so we took Mom and went to have lunch. Today Amanda and I went back to the hospital to sit with Grannie, while mom stayed home to get somet things done around her house that she hasn't been able to do this past week.
During all of this last week my grandpa was admitted to the hospital as well, he has recovered and is back at her side patiently waiting her return home. My Uncle Jimmy has come over from Washington today as well. My Great Aunt and Uncle Joe and Diane are coming into town some time this week.
We are moving her from Caldwell to Meridian. It appears that from earlier this week her condition has gotten much worse and we just don't feel that Caldwell is doing a good enough job to help grannie get better. I will be returning to her side tomorrow before I have to go to work.
Sitting in my Grannie's room today I remembered a lot of fun times we use to have. My grannie use to have a Jeep when I was younger. My fondest memory was when we were leaving the Karcher Mall and she would always on purpose drive over the curb and say out loud, "let's pop a wheelie." Us girls sitting in the back thought it was a hoot! Grannie would always do the "funky chicken dance" anytime we had a family get together. I loved going to her house in the summer, they always had fun things to do, and she use to have these vitamin C tablets that I thought were candy and I always ate them when we would come over.
I love you Grannie, and I pray that you aren't in any pain and that you come out of this healthy and get to go home becuase I know that is where grandpa wants you to be.
Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and our family as well while we deal with the uncertainty of what lies ahead for her recovery. I know my mom is trying to be strong and be there to support everyone, so please pray for her that she isn't trying to bare the burden for the rest of us. Thanks!

Tully Happenings..
Goodness there has just been so much going on around here, I don't quite know where to start. The kids are liking school, I have a great feeling about Clay's teacher this year and he is putting a lot of effort into completing homework and getting things turned in on time. Reading, well he still hates that, but we will keep on him about doing it. Sis, she is doing great as well, always wanting to have homework and when she gets some, she is in such a hurry to get it done. All together I think it's been a good first month of school.
Mick has been working in Garden Valley/Crouch, it's been a little challenging sometimes but he comes home on Wed nights and the weekends. He's been home for the last week and it sounds like they might be leaving again on Monday to head back up there for a while.
I am not sure if I have blogged about it, but about a month ago I again started another job. It really sucked looking for one, but I had a suspision that when they hired me at the trailer place that I was just temporary until the daughter came back from maternity leave and my suspision was right, she came back, my hours were cut and then I was told they were laying me off. I wasn't too thrilled, I could have already been at another job if they hadn't hired me and I asked if I was temp and they said no, but oh well. I think I am back exactly where I need and want to be: working with animals at another Vet clinic. So far so good. I do work different hours everyday, but I think I am starting to like that, it gives me an opportunity to do things some mornings and then have some afternoons available to hang out with the kids after school. I am eager to learn a lot more about dogs/cats, and this place will give me the opportunity to become a Technician. Looking forward to it, plus having 2 dogs and a cat, it's a great discount if anything were to happen too..
Last weekend my mom, sister and I went to Seattle for my cousins wedding. I enjoyed getting out of the house and just going to a new place. The wedding was beautiful, on the lake at sunset and it was just gorgeous. I had fun with my "shop-aholic" mom and sister, but didn't enjoy ALL of the shopping malls we went to. It is so beautiful over there with huge green trees everywhere you look and drive, but it is so expensive to live over there, so nope, no ideas of moving anytime soon.
I do however have some funny sayings that happened to have got spoken over the weekend. It started with my mom saying something "funny," and turned into me writing down those funny sayings throughout the weekend. I will leave you with them:
(and remember my mom and sister kind of think and act a lot alike, so imagine them saying these as you read) :)
Mom- If I knew where I was, I'd have a glass of wine
Amanda- If we don't do it now someone will have to pee on the freeway
Mom- That's dang stupid
Mom- I forgot we don't have grandma with us
Uncle Jimmy- Walk up to the top of the hill for pictures, Mom- How do we get up there?
Mom- I'm too busy drinkin' and drivin'
Of course all of these were just hilarious as they were being said, and no my mom wasn't drinking anything but pop and water while driving.
It's kind of fun to write funny/weird things down after they've been said and say them back to the person who said them. And yes, my mom was just full of things she said this weekend that were funny/stupid.
