Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

So in honor of memorial day weekend...I'm making some (hopefully) cute cupcakes!! YAY! So I'm going to make red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and blue Sprinkles!! yum!! oh and to top it off and be all patriotic....I made little flags to put on top of them all!!! I'll have to take pics of the finished products but I'll add my flag pics for a preview! lol....Gotta give Mandy at work props for helping and inspiring me for this one. I helped her make little Mother's Day toothpick things for children's church and so I kinda stole the idea but made them flags! Super cute....except the few I cut too short and are too square lol but anyways....so it's been a pretty good day today.

My lil flags!!


Me and my tiny flag!!


Look at Mandy all patriotic!!

It was BEAUTIFUL!!! I got to lay out in the backyard and catch some rays...which for me is pretty good even though I think I'm the only one who can tell I did! lol......I read some more of my book while I was out there. I got off work early and watched a movie! I talked to my mom on the phone for awhile. I did dishes and I'm going to go back and finish the ones from dinner now(very big accomplishment from me!). Oh and I exercised today....which I've been lacking in for awhile now...but I think my motivation is back or at least temporarily back! lol.....It's been a pretty uneventful yet fulfilling day. Well I guess that about does it for today...plus Terry's home now and probably wants the internet to play Halo!!!! Well everyone have a Happy and safe Memorial Day weekend!!!!

Summer is in the air...

It's a new week...not really much going on in my life. There are lots of things I wish I was doing but oh well....maybe another day. Here lately, I'm really wishing I would've went to college. Yes, I know that I could still go but it's just not the same. I could already be graduated with a job in my field....I'm sure wishing I would've went into teaching...that's what I really wanted to do...that or be a doctor...and to think I wouldn't be far from getting ready for my residency somewhere either....well that's just crazy! I wonder where I would be in my life if only I had changed a few things....would I have been married already or would I have kids already (I'm sure glad that one hasn't happened yet!) I mean where would I be teaching or going to school or just what would I be doing in general....I'm not totally sure what has sparked my thoughts on this subject of what ifs lately but it keeps playing in my head. Maybe my hubby and I should move and go to school somewhere....he keeps talking about wanting to go and now I kinda want to but I don't know if he still does! lol.....probably not going to happen though....but it's fun to dream and wish and wonder....maybe the fact that summer is practically here and I'm stuck inside work all day looking at how pretty it is is totally making me rethink my decision....I know that if I was a teacher....I'd practically be done for the summer and get to do whatever I wanted for a couple of months before heading back to work! I am getting the urge to just drop everything and move to somewhere different and start a new life....now if you know me at all...that's totally unlike me....or at least the move totally off and start over part is....I'm horrible with change...good or bad....wanted or unwanted....but I really think it might be nice....I'm sure all these restless feelings will change but it's kinda interesting to think about....well that's all my thoughts for today.....have a great week!!!

New car, Hector, and randomness ; )

Well it's the end of another long week....a very hectic one it seemed. I was the opener this week at the bank.....lol...I overslept twice and almost didn't make it in time(don't worry....i totally got there in time to pull up the computers and get  my stuff ready in time)......and I found 2 counterfeit $100's! (go me!). Last week at work we had a pet turtle...we named him Hector....he was crawling around out in the parking lot so we thought we would take him to a pond after work....Mandy (pictured with Hector) took him to his new home! Enough about work...well guess what!!!! Now it's the weekend! I'm super excited......looks like part of my plans have fallen through but that's cool cause I'll still have fun anyways! I'm thinking about starting another blog.....one with all my feet pics (if ya don't know just ask!) lol.....I think it would be kinda fun to chronicle if you will my feet and where they have traveled....let me know if you think it would be fun! lets see.....oh....well we bought a new car!! yay us!! It's a 2007 Chrysler Sebring and we love it!! I'll add a pic too! There are a few concerts coming up I am looking totally forward to...hopefully we can figure out how to buy tickets for them! lol....that's the hard part! lol....too many! My bro and his new wifey got back safely from their honeymoon in St Lucia....they brought me back a cool flip flop key chain with sand in it! and real sand from the beach and this cool fishy made out of a banana leaf...pretty cool if I don't say so myself! I found a cool thing at the dollar store last night....can't wait to use them...they are the plastic ice cubes that you freeze and are reusable shapes....I got some Hawaiian flower ones and some dice ones...super cute...hopefully i can have a luau this summer and use em then! lol...I love my little parties..even though it's usually only for 2-4 people lol.....I think I missed my calling! Well I'm out of my randomness for the night...enjoy the pics!! Happy reading!!

My brother's wedding...and other randomosity

Well yesterday was my little brother's wedding (sniffle, sniffle). Here's a few pics from the reception tables, one of me and dan, and one of the happy couple! It makes me feel old that he's married now! Well that and that he's graduated college already too. I shouldn't feel old since we're only 19 months apart lol but i do! He's growing up so fast on me! My mom's kinda sad too cause she's "lost" both of her kiddos already...( I think she's feeling a lil empty nest syndrome....just not totally). I'm really proud of him though. He's such a good guy and he's great for his bride (her name is Gretchen by the way). They make a cute couple...if ever opposites attract...it's these two! He's so laid back and easy going and she's high strung and just really full of life lol for lack of other words...but I love her to death! It's weird to think that I now have a sister in law! Well I guess I already do cause terry has a sis but i have one for my side of the family! Aww! And they wrote there own vows....so sweet....and Daniel's made me cry! He's so sweet to her!! He was talking about how it took them awhile to figure out if they should be lovers or friends but they became friends...best friends and also lovers....and he was talking about how he'll always be there to love, cherish and protect her....awww...just super sweet!! it makes me a lil teary eyed thinking about it! I got to stay up with him half the night before the wedding doing last minute errands....we ran to walmart from like 11 to 1:30ish the night/morning lol before...then I helped him stay up and get his stuff together and spend a lil time together before he got married...it was fun! They are now spending a week in St. Lucia in the Virgin Islands for their honeymoon...I hope they can relax and have a good time.....they called us to let us know they made it safe!!

On another note, I think I talked about Terry's car falling apart the other day...well we're trying to buy another car....hopefully we can buy this car tomorrow morning...wish me luck! We've been test driving it all weekend and really like it...it's a 2007 Chrysler Sebring and it's silver. We think we can get a pretty good deal on it and maybe it should be in our price range...so pray we get approved and all goes smoothly!! well that's all i can think of for the moment...
