TRYING TO BE CRAFTY!!!!

So once again I have tried to be crafty, don't know if I could say I failed but deffinately not as cute as I wanted it to be.
However I did manage to keep it under my $10 budget. There was some cuter material I wanted to buy at Michaels but it was so expensive, thus my project not being as successful as I wanted it to be.
I give it a 5.5 out of 10. Mostly though I am just proud of myself for trying something new, and learning what not to do for next time. That is one thing I am enjoying about trying to be crafty lately, I am always learning what not to do, hopefully one day I will get it so right that I will not be wishing I did something different but happy with the total outcome.

MARK'S BIRTHDAY!!!

So the love of my life is celebrating his 28th birthday tomorrow. I can not believe how old we are getting. He has been such an amazing companion and a wonderful friend. I could not have asked for a better person to be married to. Kind, loving, generous, funny, sweet, not the most romantic, but makes up for it by making me laugh everyday.
Thank you Royall and Katelyn for helping me with ideas.
The final birthday surprise is first a big giant birthday card with chocolate bars being used as some of the words, and a Key Lime Pie for sunday dessert when he gets home from Edmonton.
Thanks for the help in making that wonderful man happy.

Here is a picture of the card I made for him Lily Helping make Mark's birthday Card..

FLORIDA!!!!!

I can't wait Florida is only 2 1/2 months away. I am getting so pumped. I write my final exam and them we leave the next day for a two week vacation in Florida. Which includes a 2 day cruise of the Caribbean. I have never planned so much before for a vacation. Hopefully all the planning pays off to a fun filled vacation. We hope to hit the Nasa Space Centre, Disney World, Sea World, Universal and some beaches.

I was hoping though if anybody has been there before, if they could give me some tips of fun places to go, and places we wouldn't miss. That would be most appreciated, as there is so much to do there.

We'll I should go work out so I can look good in my bathing suite. 10 more pounds to go to reach my goal weight for our vacation.

A LITTLE HELP!!!!!

Okay for anybody out there who does read my blogs, I need some help. It is Mark's birthday this month and I want to do something special for him to let him now how much I love him. However we are going to Florida in less than 3 months and don't have a ton of extra money to throw around as we still have lots to save.
Anybody have any good ideas for a fun date, or gift I could give Mark that lets him know how much I care for him but does not go over a budget of $30.
I would really appreciate the help.Oh and Mark never reads my blog so don't worry about him finding out.

this is a picture of the cutey you will help make happy. Know who wouldn't want to see that smile again, because he got the best birthday gift or surprise for really cheap.

TO BORING!!!!

Oh my goodness this week has been so boring. I have worked the past four shifts at work all by myself except for 3 hours. I feel bad for Maria my part time, because I don't think I shut up for the whole 3 hours I worked with her. As well work has been so slow, this has to be the slowest week we have ever had. My poor hubby also got an ear full the other night. He is so sweet though, I could tell he was exhausted and just wanted to fall asleep, but I could not help my talking.
Even with how boring my week has been, it is deffinately better than last week's craziness. Actually besides work being dreadfully boring things have been going really well this week.
I ran 4 miles last night and have never felt better. I still can't believe how different I feel with just one month of working out and eating healthy.
Benefits
I get so much more sleep at night, thus feeling less tired throughout the day.
I have lossed 10 pounds and can no longer fit into my fat pants.
I can run 4 miles and not feel tired and sore only have more energy and want to run another 4 tonight maybe even 5.
Feel better about myself and are making so many better decisions in my whole life. I find myself hardly ever wasting time. I spend no more than 20 minutes a day on the Internet checking e-mails and blogs. The rest of my time is spent working, studying, exercising, eating healthy, reading, pre-paring for talks and the Adult sunday school lesson ( so nervous doing it this sunday for the first time in my life) walking my dogs and spending quality time with my hubby.
Look at me I am so bored I have rambled on for two more paragraphs.
We'll I should go pay some invoices, probably should not even be bloging at work, but can't help it so BORED!!!!
