10 on Tuesday

Its been a little crazy around here and I haven't done one of these in a really long time! So here I go...

1. Camp-took a group of 40 or so to Silver State June 13-19 and had a wonderful time! Many of the young people made decisions and surrendered their life to the Lord!!!

2. We got back from camp and went full speed getting ready for Liberty and had lots of long practices.

3. Then it was Liberty time which I absolutely love which maybe I'm crazy but its so amazing to be a part of. We took up an offering both nights for a local Solder's family to cover some cost that have occurred in his death over in Afghanastan! To see the surprise on the wife and mothers face was priceless!

4. Sid and I were able to get away Sunday night and go to Amarillo and spend all day Monday there! Its been a really long time since we've done that with the building taking top priority! So we called it an early Anniversarry celebration!

5. A week from tomorrow Liz and I will be taking a mini vacation to KC! Super excited because we both need it!

6. While in KC one of our cousins is getting married and looking forward to the wedding and all the fun festivities that will be taking place!

7. My vacation also leads to fear...my beautiful friend and SIL is due at the end of the month but for some reason I have this thought and fear that she'll go into labor! I am MG's caregiver when Mindy goes into labor so she can't have this baby til I get back...So please try and wait til atleast Saturday :)hehe

8. I'm about to be an aunt again! Wow...I just love it and hope I have a bond with this baby just as much as MG! MG lights up my life and I'm a very proud aunt! So I'm hoping that being an aunt x's 2 won't change anything!

9. I almost forgot...while in Amarillo I had to get my bridesmaid dress taken in for alterations that cost me just as much as the dress! Man they know how to take a persons money...hehe!

10. Well I did it even if I just did a bunch of rambling!

This and that

Ok so the last time I was here it was March! MARCH, can you believe that? Where did the time go??? So Here I go...
1. The first of April I went to Amarillo and met up with Mom, Bekah and Liz to start wedding preperations! The strange thing about it all was...two years to the date I was doing the same thing for me! Bekah found her dress and its beautiful!!! She decided to go with a tee length style that is strapless with a lace overlay. She is going to add a touch of color by adding a red sash! Liz and I got our bridesmaid dresses as well and I just absolutely LOVE them! One of my favorite parts is that it has pockets hehe!

2. We had our missions conference the middle of April. Bro. Woodcock preached and we had several missionaries here! What a great time of fellowship we had and enjoyed the preaching! It was a wonderful week!

3. Lets see what else happened in April...oh yes how could I forget hehe! I was let go from the Dr.'s Office that I worked out! I was pretty upset even though I knew it was for the best! I look back at it and I'm so Thankful I'm no longer there...more stressful than I realized!

4. Since I was jobless that meant I was able to spend more time with my Vaught kiddos and the most precious and adorable niece in the world...MG! Oh how I love them!

5. The end of April came and I got a pt job and I didn't even apply for it! Its kinda a crazy/long story so I'll just say this I'm working at Spalon(Hair Salon) and love it, love it, love it!!!!

6.Now we are in the 2nd weekend of the month and it was crazy busy!!!! Last night was the Mother/Daughter Banquet. Fiesta Frenzy was the theme! It was a great hit! Lots of time, prep, and work went into it but all worth it!

7. Mom came down for the mother/daughter banquet and so I got with Liz and Bekah to try and surprise mom! Liz was able to come and it was good even if the cat was let out of the bag a tad bit early! :)

8. While here Liz and I treated mom to her very first pedicure! What a great time! Its always nice to see family!

9. Saturday nite we had our Senior Banquet! It was simple yet beautiful or atleast I think so but I'm a little partial since I did the decorating with Liz's help hehe

10. And I've come to date...Happy Mother's Day to a wonderful mom! Thanks for loving me, supporting me and being my friend! You are the best!!!!

1. I should have done this last week and the week before that but I didn't I've been neglecting my blog a lot here lately! :(
2. The first week was busy with revival and then this last week I just didn't do it! Revival was great! I truely enjoyed every minute of it!!! Bro. Sam Davison came and preached and did a fabulous job!.
3. I had a scentsy party last friday night and had a whoppin' two people come but you know that was totally cool and we still had a fabulous time! On top of that I did good with sales...was able to get 2 1/2 items and like $27 bucks of free product so not bad at all!
4. I know I mention work ALOT but its not getting better and honestly I'm ready to just stay at home! Besides its not like we really need the money...its more for fun and just to have some extra spending money! At this point its not worth working to have ALL the drama! So who knows whats in store!!!!
5. Ok I wasn't gonna say anything on this next topic but its my blog and therefore can say whatever I want!!!! hehe...I'm ready for the next step in my life and that is motherhood! (Sorry Mindy I'm sure you don't want to hear that) I know babies cost money and all that jazz but ever since I was a little girl I've dreamed of being a mommy, that was my biggest dream (no high hopes for me hehe) and now I feel like I'm ready!
5.Well the first day of spring greeted us with a little bit of snow, a lot of wind and really cold temps! brr its cold outside...now if only spring would decide to stay and join us for awhile!!!!
6. Have I mentioned lately what an adorable lil niece I have! She came over for a little bit on Friday and we had a good time! She sure is a chatter box...I wonder where she gets that from?!?!?! I also showed her how she can put olives on her fingers and eat them...she loved it!!!
7. As I try to finish this lil baxter james is tugging on my sweats...I think he wants to play!
8. Today I was very lazy...slept in and then just lounged around it was nice and I can do that from time to time hehe
9. This weekend taking the teens to OKC for an all night laser tag quest...Oh joy!!!
10. Looking forward to next weekend when I get to spend time with both of my sisters!!!! Its been a long time!!!!

10 on Tuesday

1. My christmas tree is down!!! :D Thanks to Sid he took it down while I was at work!
2. Went to Amarillo for the weekend and had a great time! Didn't buy much of anything for myself but got several things for our upcoming widows banquet! I'm so excited and looking forward to it!
3. While in amarillo I picked up pastor and mrs. katie but instead of picking them up around 8:oo pm it was like 10:30 or so and then by the time we got their luggage loaded, something for them to eat and gas in my car it was going on 11:30 before we ever pulled out and to top it all off the weather was nasty making a very long trip home!
4. But we finally made it home safe and sound and I'm very thankful Pastor offered to drive us home since most know that I hate driving in this nasty stuff!
5. Work is work and I do enjoy what I do but there is one that makes me go insane and I just want to poke her eyes out! hehe
6. On that note I find myself having to walk away so I don't say something or laugh because she's being so stupid...for instance she brought an old stereo up there and I turned it on and changed it to the klove station because i wasn't feeling the country that she plays when she is up there! Since she wasn't up there for the majority of the time today I didn't think it mattered but oh was I wrong! Before she left she wrote in caps on a sticky note "DO NOT CHANGE STATION" haha that just cracks me up and I'm still laughing about it!
7. so I want to get some curtains for my living room just haven't found anything that just calls my name...so if you have any ideas you would like to share give me a holla!
8. I've been working on cleaning my house and I can say I feel good about it! :)
9. Wow where as the time gone? I can't believe we are in the last week of February!!!
10. I feel so blessed with the family and friends God has given me! And with that have a fabulous week!

1. Wow what a week of interesting things going on...Ok well not that interesting I'm sure!

2. With that being said work is still work! Yes I enjoy what I do but not always the people I work with...hehe

3. Had an office meeting on Tuesday afternoon and for what I was there for I think went well! Everyone did a good job from directly pointing fingers at anyone even if they should've at times ;)! With that being said we now all have job duties that have been assigned to us personally and they are no one elses responsibility but our own!!!!

4. I just love our new coffee show that is new to the town of Liberal! Spencer Brown's is an awesome place...I truely love the Caramel Apple Cider!!!! Yummy I want one right now just thinking about it!

5. I've been looking into getting insurance for Sid and I but I still haven't done anything with the info I've come across...my bad! I should probably get on that now shouldn't I? hehe

6. Ok I now need to confess...my Christmas tree is still up! :/ I know thats terrible I just haven't felt like taking it down even when I know I need to...its February for petes sake!

7. On Friday night I went over to Mindy's for a scentsy party/girls night! I had a great time! While there I even gave in to having a party! Seriously what was I thinking??? They never turn out and no one EVER comes!!! I guess we shall see on this one now shouldn't we!

8. Sunday at choir practice it was the Liberty kick-off! Wow can you believe that...already preparing for Liberty! It just amazes me...I'm already looking forward to it while many others are dreading it! Maybe its because they've done it for soooooooo long and this is just my 2nd year!

9. We keep getting this snow/ice junk...when will it ever stop! Who knows but I've heard we could be in for another round starting Thursday...Oh Joy!!!!!

10. Last but not least I've been looking into taking a cruise for Sid and I's very first vacation together! Can you believe that we haven't taken a real vacation together in the almost 2 years we've been married and I will not be one of those who never gets one until we're ancient and old! hehe

So until next week have a blessed and wonderful one!

2. Due to our wonderful weather we received several inches of snow over the night on Thursday and woke up to everything being covered! I will admit it did look pretty but I still wasn't overjoyed since it did cancel our trip.
3. With the change of plans we just had the marriage retreat here and it did turn out really well and we even had several more come that weren't planning on coming for the original trip!
4. Work is getting better...slowly anyways! I am now the check-in receptionist instead of the check-out! Truely not that much of a difference except for the fact that once everyone is in and my stuff is done then I get to go home!!!!
5. On top of that I will be doing more office things...ie. pay bills! Loads of fun can you feel the excitement! haha
6. Sid and I have had the pleasure of having our beautiful niece Macy Gracie stay with us for a few days! Boy, do I love her...she is so cute, fun and loving! One of my favorite things to hear her say is belly button because it comes out as "butt" hehe!!!! Super cute!!!
7. I also love hearing her say Rana!!!! Today she kept saying it over and over again...I'd look at her and say what Macy Grace, then she would just smile from ear to ear!!! Precious!!!!
8. Oh and her laugh is so contagious!!!!! I could just go on and on about her...she truely is an AMAZING lil girl! I feel so blessed to be her aunt!!!
9. I learned something new the other day thanks to Sid...Rana in spanish means frog!!!! Can you believe that...like seriously?!?!?!
10. And last but not least...Sunday we(meaning choir) will begin our Liberty music! Wow...like seriously I just can't believe that! From what I could tell when I was making copies of the music its gonna be awesome! I'm truely looking forward to it!!!!
