January 2010
I think that Facebook is killing bloggers. I’m always over there typing and never here.
We have ordered furniture! It will be here February 4th and I cannot wait. The room is dark green, Chives by Olympic in Lowe’s if you are really that interested! We have ugly carpet, but we’re going to re-do the floors one of these days. Anyhow, the furniture is a cinnamon color, which will look great with the walls. We are not afraid of color!
I am now a Vegan. I was really close to being one last year, just needed to cross over. I started a couple of weeks ago. I feel a lot better morally and well, physically. I’m also drinking MonaVie (Mon-A-Vee) each day and taking vitamins.I will probably do a tasting party in March. I have a lot of friends in the area that will benefit from drinking it. I drink 2 oz. in the morning of Active and 2 oz. in the evening of Pulse.
I’ve been going to church each Sunday. This past week I attended a membership class after church. I met a few new people that sit near me, but we’ve never talked. I will be joining the church next weekend. I’ve been going there since July 2009 and I really like the service. The people are great, very welcoming. I’ve become closer to God and I’ve been doing the New Testament challenge along with a lot of the church. I read a chapter each weekday in the NT. I’ve been reading ahead, love the Book.
I’ve paid off one of my credit cards already!
I’m taking our tax stuff + the business stuff, to an accountant tomorrow. It’s way too complicated for me to do with the house, business and some other things. Anyhow, I don’t mind paying if it’s done right! Less that I have to worry about.
TTFN!
Moved
Hey, so I’ve moved my blog to the root directory. Maybe now I will blog more often. I have made all the archives only available to me to read. I may go through them one day and change them to public, I’m not sure.
Things here have been busy, but good!
My birthday was fun, I had a few friends over for a great dinner and some laughs. 
Hubby did an awesome job cooking steaks and well potatoes kinda cook themselves, don’t they? Anyhow, I received a bunch of roses from one of my friends and a beautiful fall flower bouquet from my scrapping friends. I cropped on the day after my birthday, for the first time doing an all day crop, and it was fun, fun! I can’t wait to do that again! Last year I only did half of CropTober Fest. I did get a lot of things accomplished. I’ve been trying to crop each month. My hubby bought me the Pandora cupcake for my necklace and a colored (red) bead for my bracelet. The oldest gave me some awesome Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea stuff. It’s my favorite scent! She stopped by on my birthday on her way to see her boyfriend.
We ordered a new washer and dryer that arrived right after my birthday. I’m so glad we bought these. They are front loaders, which I wasn’t sure if I wanted them or not, but I love them. 
We bought the Kenmore Elites. The base had the prices for the ones that they didn’t have in stock, so we were upgraded for the price, which was great. They are white, have white pedestals and I love the drawer space! No more kicking and moving baskets around in the laundry room!
His surgery went well. He’s back at work and last Monday was the first time that he’s exercised since before the surgery. They didn’t want his blood pressure to go up, so no running at all, or any working out. He goes back for another follow up in a few weeks.
I’ve been trying to keep busy with the photo business. I just did a few headshots on the 6th. I had reserved two Friday’s for this, but, there wasn’t enough people signed up, so I’m rescheduling it for January. One of my local photo buddies has a studio that I can rent out for this, so that will save some dollars! I’m setting up initial appointments to meet the uprising high school seniors this month, for February. Then, the sessions will be in March. I’m also set to do pet portraits on the 28th of this month. A local pet groomer took a chance on me! I think that it will work out and hopefully I will be back in a few months to do it again.
I’m seriously considering going to Guatemala on a Missions trip with some of the people in my church. The information meeting is the 22nd of this month. It’s a week in March that I would be gone, I have until January to decide and put down the deposit. I did have some of my questions answered, like for housing and food. I do have a passport and I’ve never used it. It will not be the first time that I’ve seen poverty, we saw it back on a port stop with a cruise we did as a family. And I have seen in here in the USA as well. I think that the thing I’m most worried about is bringing something disease wise home. I also have a big heart for children and seeing anyone suffering especially children makes me cry. So, there’s that too. I think that I will be okay after the first day and I think that will not only change the way I see things in my life and world, but it will change me inside, forever. They need people to just play with the kids and some other things. I’ve never done anything like this before.
Hubby and I went to the outlet stores this past Saturday. We are almost complete with our Christmas shopping. I just have a few things to buy for him and he for me and something for the little girlie and we’re done.
