A quick answer..

The last couple of weeks I've felt really overwhelmed with work, and staying on top of things in my little apartment and just feeling like I have no time to spend with some of my sisters...so I prayed about it the last couple of nights. This morning I got to work and my boss said she was just feeling overwhelmed too and her kids were missing her too much every week because she works so much, so she gave me two of my short days off every week. I can't tell you how excited I am! I can finally stay later for story time and help mom at the library, I can sit and enjoy some yummy tea with Mandy, I can go to that step class with Amy on Thursdays, or just be there for my brethren, and of course stay on top of the cleaning of the apartment. ;) Anyways, I was glad God answered so quickly.

Giving up..

I've been getting ready for the tupperware party for tomorrow night, and I decided I wanted to make a few desserts for the ladies that all come. I made brown sugar fudge and "Whoopie Pie". The whoopie pies turned out like what you see in the picture above. Floppy and gushing out. I tried and tried to make these look pretty, but with the marshmellow fluff and the soft cookie...it doesnt really work.
Not sure why they didn't turn out looking like these. I think I used every bowl in the house and now have a very messy kitchen to clean and only 3 whoopie pies to show for it all...sigh. Maybe I'll make it into a cake...with the filling on top..hmmm...

Wall-e and the cord...

When Timothy and I moved out, we took our pets with us...Wall-e (my Chinchilla) and Chuck (His lizard...), and currently have them where our washing machine and dryer would be if we had one. Chuck has to have a hot light on during the days so he's always warm. So, since they're pretty close in the closet, the cord to Chuck's light was close to Wall-e's cage, which is a huge no-no. One of us forgot to make sure it was out of Wall-e's reach...and it wasn't, a few nights ago. Thankfully the cord was unplugged, but he chew through the entire cord twice. A lot could have happened if it was plugged in. The whole apartment could have caught on fire, or I would've woke up to a charred little Wall-e in the morning...=\ Anyways, I was thankful that there wasn't a fire and that Wall-e is still alive. I'm still scared I'm going to wake up in the morning and find him dead because of how much wire he chewed through. ={ He seems healthy and happy still!

Still Alive...

Sorry its been weeks and weeks since I last posted. Feels like everyday is the same thing over and over again-- nothing worth posting about. :P Work has been keeping me super busy since tax season started! They've had me start working more hours, so with two jobs combined, I'm working over 40 hours. Which is good since we just moved out and jobs are a little slow.

Let's see...what's new..? I turned 21 years old this month, found out 2 nieces/nephews are due in August and September <3, I'm having a Tupperware AND Pamperchef party this month and next month, annnd I think that's all that's new. I'm super excited to host the parties at my little apartment. It'll be my first time having that many ladies over at once! :D Can't wait!!

Sorry this post isn't about anything exciting or important...

Brittany and Lorraine Pictures...

This year for Christmas Brittany and I went and got out pictures taken by the same lady that took my families pictures for mother's day. We had planned on doing it last year before Britt got really sick, but pretty much right after planning it, she was in the beginning stages of the sickness.
We took these pictures for our moms this christmas. Years and years ago, Brittany and I had our pictures taken in identical dresses (Possibly around the age of 10)and haven't gotten our pictures taken since, so we thought it was about time for it...since its been 10 years ago!!! Here are a few of the pictures that I saved on my computer before I gave my mom the whole CD of pictures...these aren't all of them. There was a good picture of Brittany by herself like mine, but I don't have it on my computer!:(

I was cracking up trying to take this picture, for some reason my eyes didnt want to stay open because of the bright light lol....

There's a duck by brittany!! O_O

The leaves in this picture are awesome :D

This is one of my favorite ones of us <3

The Apartment

So I thought I'd post some pictures of the aparment. We're still in the process of trying to figure out where things go, but that's kind of the fun part! Its been so much fun playing house! Getting up early in the morning and making Timothy lunch and breakfast, making dinners and planning them. So much fun! Anyways, here they are!
The kitchen, not much of a theme going on here ;D

Moose living room. Lol..looks empty in here for now..no couch yet! ;) But we did just get a vacuum cleaner as a gift. I'm more excited about that then a couch! lol

Dining room....

Black and White bathroom ;) Timothy helped with this room. Picking out the colors and such...

Moving...

Six or so months ago, I wrote a blog post about trying to get an apartment with my little brother...well, after we let our credit built, we decided to apply for the apartments again. This time we got approved!! Everything is going by sooooo fast! We got a call on Monday(or was it Tuesday...?) from the apartments saying we were approved, and they said we could move in anytime this week. So here we are 2 days later getting packed and moving out. We officially have the keys to our home and are ready to move everything in tonight and tomorrow.

Already I'm being a baby about moving...seeing the bare walls and all the boxes getting packed, I'm in tears. Not because I don't want to move out, because I don't have to, but because I'll miss Poppi coming in my room each morning kissing me goodbye for the day, mom in the kitchen cooking dinner and coming in to kiss me goodnight, Jonathan in the computer room playing games...I'll miss just being with them. Heh, I knew this day would come some time, but wasn't prepared in my mind for it at all. It will be an adventure and I'm sure both Timothy and I will learn alot together. :) Can't wait!

Love you mommy, don't be too sad...I'm only a mile away. I still need you...<3
