Sorry!

I know that it is bad that I talk a lot about selling things, but I sold another item! I am so excited! Also the position I really wanted (and never thought would open up) is available. My boss called me to tell me of the opening, and I really hope that I get it. My Best friend Samm came home last weekend, it was fun to sit and talk with her (in person). Basically life has been good for the last couple of weeks!

2008- Late

I just decided after posting that blog that I want some resolutions for the year. They go as follows:

1. Advertise my business
2. Potty train Jonah
3. Get crazy good at Photoshop
4. Spend lots of time outside this summer
5. Finish painting the apartment
6. Back my grandmas photo
7. Book more seniors this summer
8. Learn to cook
9. Sell 15 items on Etsy

A few from last year:
1. Write TONS of thank-you cards
2. Visit my great aunt Audrey more
3. Write my best friends WAY more (Jess & Samm)

Cleaning!

We are starting our spring clean early this year. 

This past 12 months we have updated a lot of personal things (furniture, car, computer), but we haven't really gotten rid of the old things. Hence the old toys, and junk on our deck (can't get to now, because of snow). Basically our apartment needs a REALLY good once over, and some organizational updates. We really need some storage space, however I would not mind just throwing it all away at this point. I also have this really old photo of my grandma when she was a baby (1919), and it is in the original frame that needs to be re-backed. I would like to take that in and make that happen. I am just rambling now about all the things that I need to get done! It will happen starting today. We have set aside 2 hours today to just clean like crazy, which seems like plenty but I know that it will take much longer!

Nye, Nye Awchie.

Tonight is the first night the boys have shared their room. 

The crib sat empty for months as we were transitioning Jonah to his "big boy bed." 
This afternoon we raised the bottom replaced the bumper and bed skirt, and it was finally ready for Archer's little head to rest. Hopefully the night will go well and Jonah won't go fishing for Awchie (Jonah's name for Archer), and they will both sleep well.   

Tax-relief

AHHHH>>>>I am so happy that I have finished my taxes! 

It only took me a half and hour to do them!
I really want to get a job doing taxes, if it is  as easy 
as turbo tax anyways! Yay! Taxes are on the way!

Crabber, crabbytine.

My babies, your babies.


So I am in this monday night women's bible study (totally love it, could not go a monday with out), and I am trying to convince the ladies of my group to start having some babies. I always tell them to "roll the dice." Meaning to take a chance, and try. A few of them...have rolled the dice (one on accident), and I am very proud. Anyways I guess this blog is my encouragement to everyone that having babies is super fun, and it isn't as hard as you think. P.s. I have also been begging my sister for about a year to do the same. I would be so happy if my sister called me and told me she was prego. I would literally cry my face off. I love love love the idea of having a niece or nephew. Hopefully soon they will be planning a little one.

Sunday


Not much has been going on lately! 

We are hanging out with our friends jeff and bonnie a lot....Hi Bonnie (she reads the blog). That has been really fun. Matt has been working all weekend which isn't fun for me because I work all week. We have been looking around at houses a little bit, but haven't really found anything that has jumped out at us yet. I am still a little scared to make that huge decision. Anyways I am still really scared to drive (or even be in a car), so I am not sure what I am going to do about my work situation. We'll see what is in store for us next, hopefully good good vibrations.

Scared

So I have been super scared to drive! 

I have broken down and cried 3 times while driving the route. 
Please pray for me.

Funniest story ever told....in our house anyways!

So Jonah is sitting on my lap right before we are all getting ready for bed. Lately Jonah has been shocking us with his vocabulary.  So Matt takes off his shirt to get into bed, as he is doing this he tells Jonah "look at daddy's big belly." (Matt has gained a few in the years we have been married) All of the sudden Jonah points at his belly and yells -TUBBY!-! We both looked at each other and just laughed. Matt however followed that laugh with a self doughting...am I really chubby? Anyways I thought that was blog worthy!

Ouch all night!

It's super early in the morning and I can not sleep!

My back hurts SO much! yukkers! I have to work in a matter of hours :(

Weekends

Basically most of my blogging involves LOST so I thought I would start by mentioning that I have finshed everything. I am completly up to date! Exciting.
Tomorrow is monday...how sad.
Weekends are not long enough. I remember when I was in school (before I or my friends drove) the weekends seemed to last FOREVER, and I couldn't wait to go to school. Now that I am a full on adult I am so busy that weekends slip away like sand through your fingers.
Matt worked like crazy this weekend so I have hardly seen him at all. He started today at 8:30am and isn't off until 12:00am. I could never work that long. He is superman.
I am going to try to be awake when he gets home, I know it won't happen.
I am tired and should get some sleep before work!
P.s. my back is still really sore.

Saturday.

Today was the photo in the theater which was super awesome!

We ended up not having enough time to take photos of Matt and me, but the ones he took of Jonah were SOO cute! I am so excited to see them when they are all finished. Yay! I will post them as soon as I get them! I also learned a lot and got to hang with two super cool people all day!
Also I am still very very very sore! Yukkers it is not fun!
I can not believe how much pain I can be in. Hopefully it will get way better way soon!
I really hit that tree. Matt's family has been helping me out major with the boys so that 
I hopefully can feel better sooner! They are amazing grandparent/inlaws. I love them so much!
I haven't heard if anyone reading this has started a blog, if you are reading this and have a blog please comment me a link. I love reading them (heart, heart). 
I was telling Jeff and Bonnie that I am not a hug fan of Asian food, but I would try some so that I could blog about it. I tried cashew chicken...it was ok.

Hair


So I was depressed today, so I decided to get a hair-cut. 

Let me know what you think! I tried to make it look sorta the same as the photo below...compare, comment!

Sad


For some reason I find myself oddly sad.

I am not sure the cause of this unexpected condition, but it is 
crappy non the less. I have no reason to be so down. 
Not sure the reason I am blogging about it, maybe because it
is so odd. Anyways theories are welcome.
