Very Busy Week ahead!

I have a very busy week ahead of me! Monday I am taking a class at Memory Bound Scrapbook store (where I work). It should be a very fun class and I am looking forward to it! I am also starting my "week in the life" project! I'm sure all of you scrapbookers out there know who Ali Edwards is. If you don't you should check out her website at www.aliedwards.com. She has done a project called the week in the life. Its where you document a week in your life by taking photos of the things you and your family do in a normal week and journal your stories. I wanted to do this project last year but I never got around to it. Well, I am determined to do it this year. I will be using a 8 1/2 by 11 3 ring scrapbook by We R Memory Keepers and the new mama ratzzi line from Bo Bunny. I will post pictures to show my progress. Wish me luck! I also have to make a Iowa State graduation cake for a co-worker. Diane's daughter is graduating and she asked me to make her cake. I have some great ideas in mind! So I will be coloring and rolling fondant a lot this week. :) I am also working on another special project that I can't share right now but I will post photos when I can :) I am enjoying my day off and this nice weather. I have all the windows open and I am loving it! The only bad part is I have laundry galore to wash and fold :( Not my most favorite thing in the world to do but it has to get done. After laundry I am going to get out in the yard and pull weeds and water my garden. Our vegetables and flowers are starting to pop up and I am so excited. There is nothing like fresh vegetables! I hope every one gets a chance to get out today and enjoy this beautiful weather! And remember to take time to stop and smell the flowers!

"Date Night"

Tonight Andy and I had "date night". We went to KC BBQ (one of our new favorite places to eat)! and then we were going to go to the library. "romantic, I know"! I decided to try something new and ordered the italian sausage. I thought it was a little wierd to see italian sausage at a bbq place but I ordered it anyway, and that's when date night went down hill. I didnt really care to much for my food when I got it (just wasn't what I was expecting). Andy couldn't help but laugh at me because I seem to do that a lot when we go out to eat (not like what I order) and I couldn't trade with him this time because he ordered the same thing. Thats not the worst part. I ended up spilling half of my sandwich on my shirt :( I wiped it up as fast as I could, took a quick look around to make sure no one saw what I just did and then continued eating. You would think that was the worst of the night and so did I until I dropped fries covered in ketchup right into my lap! Yep, that really happened! needless to say the library was out of the question and date night was over. Oh well, better luck next time!

Our new blog!!

I just love blogs!! There are several blogs that I visit daily (mostley scrapbooking blogs) and I can't let the day go by without checking them. So I decided to start my own family blog. I am in the middle of two different blogs and I am trying to decide which on I like better. I have heard good things about the blog spot and I have several friends who have blogs here so I thought I would give it a try :) I wanted to start a blog so I can keep our family and friends updated on whats going on in our lives and eventually I want to post photos of some of my projects. (scrapbooks, cakes etc.)
