Bad Mood Day!!!

Man am I in a bad mood today. I think it will be nice to have a long weekend. Tim will be home tomorrow so that should be nice and we have the Montiero's Chili Cook out to go to on Sunday. I should be in a great mood but I am not. I have really been working my butt of at the gym but I don't seem to be making much progress. So when I was at the gym the other night I thought I would get some info on getting a personal trainer. They have this program called the HOT Mama program it is to get you in good shape before during and after your pregnancy. It is twelve weeks long. Anyway I asked about that and they said you can have 1-3 sessions a week at $50.00 a session so that would be $50-150 a week for 12 weeks..... that seems like a bit much to me. But I really want to get into shape, it would be nice to have some one guide me in the right direction but I don't know if I can fit that much money into our budget. Tim and I have a meeting with one of the trainers at our gym in two weeks so I guess we will see what they say. And it just seems that nothing at work is going right today. I only really had to work 5 hours but there is one else here today that can receive stuff so I don't feel like I can leave. Oh well I guess we all have bad days. I guess I am done bitching haha thanks everyone for read haha

Happy Birthday Nikki!

To day is my sister Nikki's Birthday...

Tim's Birthday

I think the party went well. I get so stressed out when we plan to have people over. The house can never be clean enough. With two very crazy dogs it is amazing that our house is still standing haha. I only wish I had taken some pictures. My burger cookies turned out pretty good and I think everyone enjoyed all of the food. My grandma made her bake beans. They really are the best. I have tried to make them myself before and they were good but she makes them the best. It is always nice to see friends that you don't get to see that often. Like Mark and Barbra, they are such a fun couple, I have known them since high school but I don't get to see them that often. Shannon M came with baby Kendall and I think they both had a great time. Kendall is sitting up all by her self now and still has deep blue eyes. Erin came with Sadie and Olivia ( I would said Erin's friend Olivia but I like to think that she is one of my friends now, I mean we have partied together now two weekends in a row haha) Paul and Beth came and it was good to see them. I don't think I have seen them since they got engaged at the beach. Jen came with some yummy pasta salad. It is not that often that Jen, Shannon and my self can get together so I really enjoy the time we do get to spend together. I really wish I had some pictures to share with everyone. If anyone reading this has some please forward them to me, thanks. I think on of the high lights of the day for me was when Sadie was running and Bristol was chasing her and it was making Kendall laugh.... Bristol just loved Sadie and I think she had fun with him too. Over all I think the day went off pretty well. Oh and Tim had a good time too. Thanks to everyone who came.

Cute Cookies

I saw these at a work picnic I went to yesterday and I just had to go home and make them for Tim's BBQ tomorrow. They are just so cute and really pretty easy to make.

+ + + +

+

Here is everything you will need

- Vanilla Wafers

- Grasshopper cookies

- Shredded Coconut (dyed Green to look like Lettuce)

-White Frosting (half dyed red to look like Katsup and the half dyed yellow to look like Mustard)

- Then for the finishing tough you take egg wash and lightly brush on the top cookie and add sesame seeds.

They are supper cute and taste good. I made a bunch last night and really it didn't take me 45 minutes to get them all done.

Heads Up

This is a heads up to everyone. Tim and I have been doing a lot of talking lately about having kids. All of you who know me pretty well know that I think having kids is a really big responsibility and that I haven't ever really pictured my self having them. But the more and more Tim and I talk about it the more I am coming around to the idea. Tim really is ready to start a family and I think that he will be a great dad. I also think that whole idea is really scary but in a good way. Tim and I have decided that we are not going to "Try" to get pregnant but that we are not going to prevent it. So we will see how things go. My friend Shannon said " You are never really read."

Sweet Tim

OK so I am sure you guys don't care but Tim really is a sweet guy. Yesterday I had to go home early from work because we are having Hughes Net installed at our house and I had to be there. They said they would come some time between 1 and 5. Well I got a call at 4:45 saying that he the installer is running behind so would it be ok if he came between 7-8 pm... So I was like yeah I guess, because I don't want to have to take more time off of work. But anyway back to Tim, when I got home yesterday I really wasn't feeling good ( I think it was because I had eaten so much the day before) and then they guy not coming really put me in a bad mood, so when Tim came home he brought me white roses (they are my favorite). What a great guy I am married to...

I love you Tim

Weekend

This past weekend was a lot of fun. Tim and I got to spend a lot of time together, and we really enjoyed our time selves.

Friday night: We went and did a bit of shopping, Tim got an new cell phone and I picked up a few things from the Loft (all if witch was on sale). I have been trying to do better, about shopping. We then tried out the new Red Robin. It was pretty good, I don't think Tim was that impressed with it but I liked it. I had a guacamole bacon cheese burger. It was really good. Then we went and played Put-put golf at Funland. It was a really good time, it had been a while since Tim and I had gone on a date so to say.

Saturday: We got up early and went to a farm that is about 10 miles away from our house and picked blackberries. The weather was great and we had a lot of fun. After that we went to Ashland and had lunch at Panera. One of my favorite places to eat. We then went and picked up a big two person water raft so we could float around on the lake by our house. So we went home and jumped into our swim suits and headed for the lake. We spent about 2 hours floating around and enjoying the sun.

Sunday: I tried to make a blackberry cobbler.....I had enough to make a double batch so that is what I did. But I guess the dish I cooked it in was a bit too small so it ended up over flowing. But I thought that might happen so I was smart enough to put the dish on a cook sheet when I placed in the oven. Boy that would have been a big mess to clean up. Although it is not the nicest looking cobbler it does taste good. We spent the rest of our day at Sadie's birthday party. She just turned 3. We had a lot of fun, and it was really nice to see everyone.

Back on the Wagon

This summer has been long, with lots of ups an downs. The biggest down is that Tim and I have both put on a few pounds. There is nothing worse then not fitting in to your favorite pair of pants. So Tim and I are back on the eating better and working out more wagon. Eating better really is not that hard. Tim and I do enjoy eating fresh food and I love to cook. But we both love sweets I think that is my true down fall. We also are going to make it a point to go to the gym. I mean we have this great gym and we have been really bad about not using it. They have all kinds of classes. So wish us luck in are goals to trim down....


After pictures haha.....

Not to much going on

Man I feel bad that I haven't blogged that much the past few weeks, but other then Tim coming home there hasn't been much to talk about. The dogs are doing well and boy where they happy to see Tim on Saturday as was I. It looks like Tim will be doing some more traveling.... I don't think he is to happy about that but what can you do. Shannon is doing well she has applied for a full time job with the Department of Veterans Affairs and is pretty sure she will be selected for the position. Also Tim and I are just trying to get the house together. We are having a small get together for his birthday.... that reminds that I need to order him a cake. Well I just thought I would give everyone a brief up date on what is going on with us.

Things I love # 5

I just had to put this picture up haha....

Thanks Erin

Ok I have been Tagged by Erin.... although she tagged 3 0r 4 people at once, I don't know if you can do that I might have to check the rules haha.

So know I have to tell 10 things about my self that most people don't know. I think this will be hard because I am a pretty open person anyway, but I will try.

1. I am sure this will not be news to my best friends or Tim but lately I have been obsessed with guacamole. I don't know why but I love it and I make it all the time.

2. Sometimes patriotic songs or events make me cry, and I feel embarrassed.

3. I love it when people leave me comments on my blog... it makes me feel special haha.

4. If I won the lottery I would share most of my money with my family and friends. I mean really how mush fun would it be to be rich if you didn't have anyone to hang out with.

5. I am really really bad at spelling. I live and die by spell check.

6. I haven't talked to my Dad in over 4 years and I haven't talked to my Mom in over 2 months.

7. I talk to Tim about 3 times a day while he is over in England and if I didn't my day wouldn't be complete.

8. I love going on Myspace and looking at everyone pages that I went to high school with.

9. I love love love to sign in the car, ask Tim I am sure sometimes he wished he could just enjoy the song on the radio with out my background vocals haha.

10. I love scratch off lottery tickets but I will not go in the store and buy them myself. I always ask Tim to buy them.

OK that is it that is all the info you are getting, so now I have to pick someone to tag.

Scott you are it!

It's Over....

I finished reading Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows last night. It was a bitter sweet. I really enjoyed the book but I am sad to know that it was the last one. I know I am such a dork, but now the only thing I have to look forward to are the movies..... Now I will have to find something new to read haha. Anyone got any good ideas? I really like reading Fiction

Tim is coming Home

Ok so I have started a count down he will be home 9 days and I cannot wait. We are think about planning a BBQ on the 25Th for his birthday. I told his since we are going to have people over for a BBQ that I would get him a new grill for his Birthday. It seems like a good gift to me but I might still have to get him something else. I am really looking forward to having Tim home. Life is just better when he is around. I know I shouldn't be so mushy haha. Anyone have any cool ideas for the BBQ?
