Well Actually this may be the first time this is just not true, the sun is shinning like it should outside, me and the husband for the first time in months feel good, hooray I think we almost maybe have kicked the stupid cold bug. I dragged myself out of bed early to work out and get ready and it was a great move on my part.
Our weekend was the BEST ever, we went on date night to the movies and dinner where we sat and talked and laughed it was perfect. I also got to go out with some of my very best Friends to "The Hunger Games" premier on Friday night, however our plans got changed when there was no more seats available except in the very front row and that was just not happening so we left went to dinner. But instead of eating in the restaurant we got it to go and brought it back to the movie theater where we sat front in the line eating Thai food out of to go boxes. We took up way more space then was needed we talked and laughed louder then everyone else and had the BEST time, when the 4 of us are together we bring the best of each other. Then on Sunday we had those same previously mentioned friends over for lunch after church and hung out most of the day. Its days like that, that remind me how blessed I am to have the friends I do and that we have all been friends since Middle School says something. yes we have gone through our stupid girl fights and been mad at each other over things we cant even truly remember now but we have made it!! We have conquered the time, the distances, the new paths of life and I love these 3 girls more now then ever, I appreciate them more now then ever, and know that as we all start to raise families we will raise them together and it will be exactly how it was suppose to be. And i am thankful for a God that demonstrates Forgiveness and Love everyday so we know what it looks like and we can do the same.

A rainy weekend away!

What a great weekend with a bunch of GREAT friends! 

Fun: Rooming with my closest friends. Finding great prices on a pair of shoes I have been longing for. Frozen yogurt. Driving down to the beach with my friend. worshiping with 70 amazing woman. Having Maggie Long jump on me and let me straighten her hair!! Finding 2 old books (much love) Celebrating Mom's and all they do for EVERYONE. Getting to know other friends. Getting away!Coming home to the husband. I missed my best friend very much. we chatted for 4 hours and it reminded me how much I adore him. and that I love spending everyday with him. I love my husband being my bestest friend. He even held my hand and let me watch "House Hunters" 3 episodes in a row!

Not so fun: the rain...which insisted on coming ALL weekend. realizing I forgot socks. only bringing one tank tops (to wear under my shirts...I always do, its a weird habit of mine.) and it has to be a certain kind because I do not like anything else. My camera being "memory full" I have an issue of not deleting pictures after I download them. 

Maggie, Laurie, Sarah and Therese

READY, SET, GO.......

A quick catch up a little glance at the last (almost) 2 weeks, MY BAD. And if you are wondering....I have failed and need to work on this: when given lemons everyday I will in fact eat the lemons instead of making them into lemonade. So its a bitter tasting week instead of a little sweet and sour!! But on to more positive and better weeks!!! 

 I HATE hanging up my cloths. I keep wearing them and then hanging them over the dresser...well that filled up so then it moved to a chair...then it moved to the closet....to the point of out of controlness (I know not a word, but hey this is my blog) so I watched Army Wife's on my IPAD and hung up my mess of cloths. I am counting down the days till I have my nice NEW and BIG closet. Speaking of that, I went and toured the house and the guys working asked me what I wanted in my closet....so I designed it! not going to brag but its going to be awesome.  I work at a school and its is a month and 5 days until we get out for summer (well the kids do) and it can not come a day sooner! We officially hit 70 degrees here in the Willamette Valley THAT IS BIG NEW. I love dressing up and going out with my husband, but the words I actually said on that day....'Babe I don't want to get all dressed up its so much work. I would rather put on my sweats and tank top and sit here with you!" oh man, I am turning into an old married woman. I fought the urge and got into a dress and did my make up! We move in 20 days!! Then the reality hits me that I need to pack ASAP. So my house at this moment and probably for the next 20 days will look like a tornado ripped through it. One day its 70 degrees and sunny and the next its raining! I just cant decide what I hate more...being teased with the sun or the rain.I took my friends adorable kids home last Sunday, I mean drove the SUV, feed them lunch, laid down the little one and played "sword fighting" on the WIii with the older one (who is only 3) and kicks my butt at it. AND loved every minute of it...what does that mean?! My art project is AMAZING...I feel completed! I love seeing friends (co workers ) after 10 years, and re connecting right away. We honored an amazing woman RUBY this weekend for her service at Figaro's pizza. Mine and almost everyone else First Job experience. She taught us how to work! And friends that last for a lifetime. Watching your little brother go to prom/formal....humbles you a little bit! My brother in law just finished up his 3rd year of college! FINALLY got my hair done, and it feels great. Even big dogs get scared and need to hide for protection . As we were using a power saw, Rosco a pure blood hound came and stood behind me and shook with fear, then layed his head on my shoulder and put his big paw in my hand....He stayed that way until the saw was turned off.

Oh Rosco!

This is all made out of wood from our house, stained, sanded and made into art! I LOVE IT!!!

The outside is not changing much any more!
