The Attack Of The 3 Barrel

So today is a beautiful day, and I decided to get all "Dolled Up" So I was getting ready and had an idea to use my 3 barrel curling iron that I haven't used forever. Everything was fine and dandy until I saw a section that I didn't like the way that it turned out, so I tried to re-do it, and you'll never guess what happened! It burnt my hair completely off! and the bad thing about it is, its right in front of my face. All day I have smelt burnt hair. I have no idea how/why it happened. I guess that the 3 barrel will be locked up for a long time.

The End Of The Semester...And We Made It Out Alive!!!

Shawn just finished he first semester of school, and was at the top of his classes!!! :) it will be so nice to finally had my husband back. He has this whole month off, and then starts summer school sometime in June. I still don't understand why people would want to take classes in the summer. If everything goes as planned he will graduate in the winter of 2010.

Since he has this whole month off, we decided that instead of taking a vacation this year, we're going to remodel our kitchen over Memorial Day Week (May 22-31). We are hoping to get everything done in about a 2 week time frame. We both took 10 days off of work, and we hope that is enough. It should be pretty easy, we pretty much already have everything ready to go. I will make sure to post before/after pictures!

Bursting at the Seams!!!!

I have some very exciting news.....No we haven't jumped on the baby wagon yet, that will probably have to wait atlease 2-5 years. Hopefully sooner than later though. This post is to brag about Shawn. First off, I just want to say that he is VERY TALENTED and can do anything that he puts his mind to. He is just finishing his first semester of Grad school and was stressing out about a lit review that he turned in this week. Well he got an email from the class professor, and it was ALL GOOD NEWS! He was congatulating him on the paper, and went on the say that he would be honored to use Shawn's paper for reference for future students! and the good news doesn't stop there! He wanted to know if he (The Professor) could submit it in a writting award thing that the college does every year. Shawn could end up winning 1,000-1,500 for his work! We are both very excited and know that all his hard work is paying off! We won't find anything out for awhile, the awards aren't held until next February 2010! but I will keep everyone posted!

Thanks for letting me brag for a bit. Thats the most exciting news we have had for awile! :)

Problem Wall

I have a problem. We built this wall a few months ago, and I have no idea what to do with it. Do I just leave it the way it is (BORING) or do I hang pictures? and if so, what kind of pictures? I'm not very good in the decorating department, so I'm open for any suggestions! Thanks guys!

Very Frustrating....

The past few weeks have been VERY FRUSTRATING for me. First off, back in the end of December we started working on re-financing our home, we got everything ready and should have been done with the whole thing in 2-3 weeks tops. Well fast forward 3 1/2 month, never received a phone call or anything from the lady that was in charge of it. I just thought that there was a ton of people in front of us. we finally got ahold of her, and she told us "Oh, I put that on the back burner, sorry about that, I will get it taken care of right away." Well we went in on the 18th of March with every kind of paper that she needed. She told us that everything looked great and you shouldn't have a problem closing on the 31st of March, so don't pay April's house payment. Well, the 31st came and went, she wouldn't call us back, or she was ALWAYS out of the office. I talked to her on monday (4/6/09) and she said that "Everything looks awesome and we should close on Tuesday or Wednesday". I would like to know, Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, next month, or sometime next year. Our payment is going to late on the 15th. I don't know if I should send the payment off or wait to see what happens. I would go to someone else, but I really dont want our credit pulled again. I heard its bad to have you credit ran twice in 6 months. I just wonder how many other people she has been doing this too.

Then a couple of weeks ago, Shawn & I decided to upgrade our cell phones. we went in and it seriously took us like 2 hours to decide on the ones that we wanted. We decided to drop half our minutes because everyone we know has verizon so we talk for free. Well, I just got our statement in the mail and they are charging us 50 dollars for looking (not buying) ringtones. I guess with our old plan it would just take away minutes instead of charaging money. Well the people at the Verizon store failed to tell us that. So now we have to deal with that.

I swear, its one thing after another, thanks for letting me vent. I feel much better :)

Soccer Season Again

I can't believe that it's that time again. Soccer is in full motion! We had our first game tonight, and man I gotta tell ya, I can already fell it. my whole body hurts! I had a blast, I love the team that I play on, we always have a good time win or lose. I had a goal that after the fall season last year that I was going to go to the gym, and stay in shape, I was in good shape after playing sports non-stop for 7 months. But the laziness set in and I NEVER made it to the gym :( I need to start going at 6 a.m. Its to hard to try and go after working a long day. Well, wish us luck for the season! I can't wait to get out there and kick some butt, hopefully I don't kick myself in the face with the ball again!!!! LOL
