Fortunes?

Today I tested and tried to make my own decorated fortune cookies for the wedding and I only did a few as a sample and didn't go all out in decorating them either... but I think this is what I am going to do as favors now to find cheap cute take out boxes for them :)

I believe they tie in well with how Chandler proposed to me :) (although they aren't giant ones)

Snack wrap

bubble wrap is awesome! but I have to pop each and every bubble...I just cant help myself *grin* lol Anyways to reality...

as I plan for my wedding in November God is really helping everything come together for us, things seem to be falling right into place. I am getting married at the church I love and am a member at, I found a lovely place to have the reception. I have a dress and a honeymoon booked ^_- and although things with the wedding are coming together other things are falling part like my car *sigh* and Chandlers truck but we know what is wrong with his finally and is getting it fixed :) We have good bit of stuff to do with the house we will be living in cleaning, painting and putting new carpet in...and 2 big things ( bathroom) which needs to be redone and (furance) which needs to be looked at :/

Last Wensday I discovered I had a lump which my doctor told me it was probley a cyst and not to worry but wanted to get it checked out and Thursday I went to have an ultra sound and as I waited in quite dark room I took that time to pray and it seemed like a very long wait but then the doctor came in room and showed me on the screen I had a Fibroadenomas (benign) tumor.
I was happy to hear that it was benign because breast cancer runs on both sides of my family.
I am suppost to go back for a biopsy thursday but that might change...

Sunday my dad was ordained as a deacon and I am very proud of my dad. God has brought him through a lot in his life and seeing my dad grow in Gods word and step up into roles of church is amazing :)

so many things are happening in my life and with my family but I keep trusting in God and leaning on him and I know I can do anything through Him who gives me the strength

short

Last night at church we had our ministry fair, where you could see what each ministry was about and sign up for and the table with best presentation got money towards that ministry so I actually put one who I thought could use money instead of best table lol I signed up for few new ones this year and one I wasn't sure about doing but Chandler said I should sign up with him lol

Oh-yeah finally got me some nice bicycle shorts so when I go Mountian biking I will be a little more comfy lol

Today was short because of all the running around and waiting I did with my sister helping her get ready for school and stuff she need to take care with fasfa. I got home and I was sitting around at the computer and my dad came up to me and handed me a Tigger Pez! I thought it was really funny since I was just talking about the world's largest pez on my blog and then I told him about it and he thought it was funny and amazed that there was a pez that big.

SweetSixteen and 2.0 upgrade lol

Theres even 2 more people not pictured that went to eat with us! lol

I have had a good week, Thursday was my sister Kaitlynn's 16th birthday and for her birthday we went out to eat at Texas Road House where we waited a little bit to get in even though I had made resvations...where tons of rolls and cinamon butter was ate...we had a friendly waiter who took care of everything (not to mention patience lol)

...and we even got him to bring out to plates of whip cream which one of kaitlynns friends smeared on kaitlynns face causing everyone to get some lol It was funny.

( my sweetie!! my sister thought it was all his idea so she got him too..)

Then later before we left they came and sang their happy birthday song... and we left for bowling ally, stoping few places on way...we took up 2 lanes...and formed teams on our 3rd try the reset our game which my other sister Tamara was mad because she finally had gotten a strike..lol but next time around I was doing better...well better then I usually do lol We will still finshing up a game when it turned 12 and It was Tamaras 20th birthday then lol And she actually managed to get another strike (I told her it was birthday luck) well we finshed up the game I was winner over all and out of my team and Kaitlynn won on her team lol

Oh yeah there was a guy who was collecting signatures dressed in womens top and shorts...because it was his bacholer party..and his friends told him he would get a dollar for every signature.. well after that we found out 2 other people were having their bacholor / bacholrete party there... (crazy huh)

We got home sang happy bday to kay on Tamaras bday and then ate some cake. (it was delious)

and then we sat around until 3am then i went to bed... Then later

yay!

I got a new lappy !!

So this weekend I didnt really shop around like I wanted to but thats a good thing! Since it was tax free weekend, I would have tried to justify a lot unecessary purchases...but we made our way to best buy where I got new lappy for my birthday present, we had looked around online and most were good bit of money we even found a really nice laptop which was like having a portable desktop it had 22" screen... and it normally cost 2,5000 or something and we found it for 1,500 but as nice as it was...we didn't need anything like that...and just wanted a laptop that could play some games and was nice...and we looked online and most were 800 well so we looked around and found HP pavilion dv5 with an AMD dual-core processor 2.00GHz, 3g of ram, 250 hd, and good nvida graphics card. Has many ports even hdmi port, lightscribe...and even a little remote lol and it was on sale and it was tax free weekend so ended up paying 599 instead of 900! So I have a new lappy and I really love it! although I dont care for Vista...we managed to fix it lol Its nice and both me and chandler can get use out of it... my old lappy I gave to my parents a months ago....

Yesterday I went mountian bike riding for first time in awhile and we rode one trails we normally did and parts were tough...but I made it to end and when we were on our way back chandler got a cramp :/ so we didnt ride the trail back down, we took another way but it was nice to ride but at same time I don't think I can ride today lol so maybe thursday if the weather is good. I also had gotten a little slack with working out but I got back on track last week and keep with it this week.

I need to get some batteries! and I got few things to do and get few things done because Thursday is my youngest sisters bday and then Friday is my other sisters bday.

quick note

It is tax-free weekend where I live so I am thinking about buying a few things with money I got for my birthday... There is a few things I would like to get but I have to stop and ask myself is it worth it...I try to save my money for future things like the house (we) are trying to get built and things to go inside it lol But at the same time I have been saving up and Im working on getting a another part time job. I have applied few places and updated my postal info online and watching for openings there. Well im fixing to go and see what adventures find me today and what I end up getting.

Happy Fluff Day

Yesterday was mine and Chandlers 2 years anviersary dating, we were going to celebrate by going to this nice Japanese place where they cook food infront of you...we went their last year for the one year. So I went shopping looking for something nice to wear as my choices at home are getting slim lol well looked around could not find anything I liked or that fit...so I came home and check with my sister she dresses up all time so I figured she might be helpful but I ended up just wearing something of my own. Well we got to the place but it was super packed lol so we went to one of our favorite places and ate (prob to much) and went and walked around in walmart. We left Walmart and thought car sounded funny on right side and we hit bump which made us think def something was wrong...well we pulled over and my back right tire was completely flat :/ (I know) crazy I have bad luck with tires or black cars apparently... anyways this time I made sure I had a jack well but come to find out it was broke some how piece in it had split in half But a guy in a truck came over and got his jack but then we couldn't get the lug nuts out because (suprise) Mine was to big to get them out with...and so was that guys. So we waited on my dad to come help us out... I am thankful that were okay and that atleast this time was not in middle of no where because it had gotten dark. My dad arrived and Chandler got the spare on and we went back to my house and so we just watched tv and cuddle up. Although what happened with car we still had a good day. We have been threw a lot together and I cant imagen life with out him... I cant wait to be his wife!

I was going to post some pics of us but they all seem to be on the lappy I will get around to it later though lol

Supries!

Chandler suprised me with a new bible its beautiful blue and green and even has my name engraved at the bottom. I have never had a bible with my name engraved so that was nice. Also that was not the only thing he suprised me with, he had the bible in awesome new shoulder bag/ backpack which was really awesome it was just like a bible cover I wanted along time ago. ^_^

We were talking and then he said maybe I shouldn't have put your last name in it lol because its going to mine soon enough lol But its still something I will cherish.

Wacky Weenkend

Some how I managed to get the cold/flu during summer ... I know you must be thinking what? well...so most my weekend was spent with horrible aches and pains of the flu/cold with the burning fire throat or running or stuffy nose...or feeling weak :/ although it was kinda weird Saterday morning I felt like I wasn't going to make it through work...I kept having to take a lot breaks but I managed to feel better as day went on..So we ended up going to look at the home place which was little tough to find since I forgot to get directions before we left lol When we got their we found a helpful guy who told us about the company and all good things to know... Their was tons of different plans to choose from and they had 6 maybe 7 different demo house to look at so each one we went in was like wow! They all seemed lovely we found one that was so awesome but def not in our price range but other one we liked was more of our price. He told us we go over each detail and decided what we want to do...and he said he will take bids of certain jobs and find us person with best deal on flooring or w.e. we need or choose to do... and so got his card and now we have alot to think about we went bowling that night as well with my youngest sister and we have fun I bowled a 99 I said I need a shirt that I am pro Wii bowler lol well and sunday I didnt feel so great but I went to church any ways my Sunday school class was going swimming and having a cook out but I didnt want to get any one sick and I wasnt feeling up to it and I went to my sweeties house and his lovely mother got me tissues because she knew I was sick :) I got to play Rock Band for the Wii and it was interesting I only played a few times though so Im still getting used to it but I really like the drums even though I kept failing :/ lol
but sunday was a day of thought about everything going on about the house and such and what if's came to be considered and so we are praying about it and as much as I (want) this house, I want to hear God above all.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5,6

ramblings from the desk

Is it not funny how you can have so many thoughts in your head but yet be so unfocused? Thats is how I am today along with sinus/allergies bothering me...I am sneezing alot and my throat feels soo dry but today has been going fast which is good :) when your at work. Well I was talking to the bank I bank with about loans and appartently have awesome new loans for houses but for build/getting a modular one you may have to do 2 different loans... I was like hmm.... so saterday we are going to talk with a company who does the holmes and get information. I have not really kept up with my work out this week because of work and all :/ hmm but Im try to get in some today right after work. I want to read more but I read little bit then I become unfocused on what Im reading and its sad...even if its interesting to me...I just cant read like I used to... hmm any ways more paper work to do :/

Hunting---> for a house

So after house hunting and going to look at a house, which we thought was eh okay but more we thought about it and price we thought it would be good for us and I told Chandler that we should go look at the house once more and we had been praying about it and so I had schduled another appointment to look at the house, even my parents were coming to view it with us, well an hr before we go to look at it...the agent called and asked if we had got approved yet and I said no because we had not got chance to do so and she told me the owners did not want us to see it until we were approved. I was upset about that I couldnt help but think if they really wanted that house sold I dont see why 5min look would hurt them if anything it would have helped them because we were serioulsy intereseted in the house and even my parents were comming to see it... and I know that house has been on market for along time too, and I did not like the way the agent handle things...they should told us alot sooner then at the last minute, and she was not helpful. Well after hearing that I was a bit discouraged...I was like this must be a sign this place is not for us...but then weekend approached and figured might as well not worry about any house stuff over 4th July weekend... well my mom had seen this house in paper and thought it was nice and I looked and found it online...it was 10k more then one was looking at but this house was 2years old and very nice...we really liked it and was going to look at it but also realized its in area that is eh not the best...then we also began looking at modular holmes and could have a nice thats new and way we want it for around same price range.. and so I talked to my dad and we are going to put house right beside theirs on the 10 acres thats besides my parents house.

- now to find a company we want to build it and to talk with the bank about a loan and also to find that career that works for me.
