My whirlwind thoughts on "paper"

I'm so ready to get out of here and get on my trip! I don't want to wish it away, I just wish it would get here! I'm going crazy sitting here at work thinking of all the things I need to be doing to get ready. I'm off all day tomorrow, so I can get it all done then, it just seems so useless to be sitting here when I could be doing stuff. If you don't know, I'm a MAJOR planner! lol I told my friend today that I"ve got every one of my steps planned all the way to getting in the car and riding to Memphis! lol I'm so ready to get outta here!

I went to the bank today and had some change to exchange for dollars. We saved up this past year (since last October) and we had 104.00 just in change. That's exciting! Now we can add that to the other money we saved up and enjoy ourselves and not put it on the credit card! YAY! Steering clear of the credit card is always a plus! ;)

Well, typing this has eased some anxiety and waisted a couple of minutes. lol Maybe I can find something else to do for the next....4 hours! lol

I'll post pics when we get back! Have a great weekend!!! And a Spooky Halloween!!!

The countdown begins...

Well, today is Monday, approx. 2:30 pm. 3 days left until we leave for our trip! I'm so excited! I can't wait! We're going to Memphis, TN. for the weekend. Leaving Friday afternoon and returning Sunday night. Just to get away for a couple of days means the world to me! It's a couple of weeks late, but we're celebrating our 2 year anniversary! Man, who would've thought I would have been for 2 years when I was 24! But it's been the best adventure of my life. I wouldn't trade it for the world! I married my best friend October 14, 2006 and he's the best! There's never been a minute that I regret since we've been together. We had some rough times there at the beginning of our dating adventure, but things got worked out with family, etc, and now it couldn't be better!

I really do hope that Matt gets to feeling better before Friday when we leave. He's been sick with Sinus problems for about a week and a half. And telling him to go to the doctor is like telling a wall to talk! lol It just "ain't" happening! Oh well. We'll still have the time of our lives even if he is feeling under the weather.

I will have tons of pictures to post when I get back and I'll put them on here as soon as I can.

Where did the weekend go?

It's Monday again! Man, where did the weekend go? I can't believe how quickly those two days go by! It's unbelievable! We had a very relaxing weekend though. We stayed home most of Saturday. Matt played his Lineage II game (as always! haha) and I cleaned house ( as always haha). Then we went to my mom's house for a little while and went shopping with them at Lowe's and Walmart. Great fun! (not really as fun as it sounds. lol) Then Sunday we went to church, came home, took a nap, went back to church, then back home again! So, other than church, we've had a very relaxing weekend!

I am LOVING this weather! It makes me want to be outside all day! But instead I'm indoors looking out. :( oh well. It pays the bills! That's all that counts!

We're taking a trip the last of October/first of November to Memphis, TN. I'm so excited! Just to get away for the weekend means so much! We desperately need a vacation! The last trip we took was last year at our anniversary. So, it's long overdue! We're planning on going to the Memphis Zoo and to the Pink Palace and Beale Street just to name a few things! So, I'm excited!

I guess that pretty much catches you up on what's been going on and what's coming up.

HAPPY FALL!!!

It's Friday!

I cut my finger pretty bad this morning trying to prepare some roast for supper tonight. It took almost ten minutes to stop the bleeding! :( I was crying like a tiny baby for about 20 minutes! WOW! It was crazy! But I'm better now, just learning to do things without a thumb for a little while. lol
So, I'm hoping my roast turns out good! It's a new recipe I found. It's called Cajun Pot Roast. You should try it! I'll post the recipe at the end of this post. I'm excited about it!
I've got two close friends and two cousins that are all preggo right now! And they are ALL expecting girls!!! WOW! What are the odds, huh? Good luck to all of them! I pray God keeps these little ones and the mommies safe and everything goes well. I can't wait until they all get here so I can spoil EVERY ONE of them like crazy! I'm excited! :)

Well, I'm done with my outlook on today, so I'm going to leave you with the recipe that I'm trying tonight! I'll let you know how it turned out! God Bless!!!

October... my favorite time of year is here! The fall weather in Alabama is so wonderful! Nothing like it! I love how you have to bundle up in the mornings and turn on the heat in the car on the way to work and then regret you wore a sweater lunch and have to turn on the AC on the way home! haha Nothing like it! But I love it!

Fall is a great time for weather, but it's also very exciting for me because I married my best friend October 14, 2006! It will be 2 years this year! Man, time flies! It's been the best adventure I've ever had though! I wouldn't trade my life for anything! It's wonderful.

I can't believe it's been 2 years though. A lot of things have happened in 2 years. But they have all been for the best and I thank God everyday for such a wonderful life.
