Family Pics

The 28th of October we did family pics with Joe's side of the family. I loved them and I thought they turned out great, but the mother-in-law did not like them. Oh well! Guess we cannot please them all! I am going to give them to my side of the family for Christmas. Tell me what you think! P.S. Walmart did a bad job of putting the negatives on a CD so the pics have things on them...but not on the real pics.

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween from Princess Leia and Chewbacca!!!!!

My most interesting cake yet!

I just finished a cake tonight and I am voting it my most interesting! It is a wedding shower cake. They did not want any writing on it, just to resemble the decoration thing they gave me. So....I am going to show you the decoration thing. If the dress looks weird it's because it's one of those fan things, where it opens. Anyway, the next picture is my finished product. Tell me what you think? Did I replicate it ok? I have been busy with a few more cakes. I will make them a seperate blog and show them too

This should make you laugh!

OK, so Thursday night Joe and I and some friends decide to go out to the "strip". That's where all the bars are in stillwater. We had never been to any of them. It was a LONG day and I had a Pampered Chef party earlier that evening. We decided to take 2 cars since I knew I would want to come home WAY before them. SO... I go get ready to leave the bar at midnight and I cannot find my keys. Joe finally gave me his and said just leave the front door unlocked.. I go out to the car, get it unlocked, and begin to look for my keys. I finally find them in the ignition. GOOD! I found them....but wait? What's that sound? Is that MY car? OH YES IT IS!!! I left my car running for 2 and 1/2 hours while I was in the bar!! That's right! I locked all the doors, turned off the headlights, and never took the keys out of the ignition. I have officially LOST IT!!!:0)

Bit off more than I can chew....

I am completely overwhelmed with my school work. I got up at 8:30 this morning and worked until 3:00 on homework. I took a break at 3 to make a cake for Joe(birthday tomorrow) and then back to studying. I have been looking all over this weekend for my school bag. I have a VERY important test tomorrow in Spanish and need to spend the evening studying. So Joe and I destroy the house before I remember that I forgot it at school. No, bueno. I am now completely screwed and will have about 1 hour tomorrow night before the test to study. OH CRAP!! So...do I drop the class because I am overwhelmed or do I suck up the F I am going to make on the test? I am crying about it and Joe is no help. He says do whatever. I managed to find a few sheets of paper that had fallen out of my bag, so I had a few things to look over....not near enough. So, it's now 9pm and I REALLY want to go to bed....BUT I also forgot that I had to make a cheesecake for tomorrow. So...here I sit overwhelmed, tired(and hungry) waiting for an hour for a cheesecake to bake! UUUUHHHHHHHHHH Someone PLEASE tell me why I should stay in school? I am starting to wonder if it is all worth it?

What?? What did she just say?

No, no me gusta espanol

I HATE SPANISH!!!!!! As many of you know, school just started back up and I am already overwhelmed! I am taking Spanish, geography, nutrition, and earth science. Yeah 15 hours and a full-time job and own a business! Now you see why we do not have kids yet?!:0) I am trying to study my Spanish numbers. I have to write, say and know 0-30 for Monday. YUCK!!!! I hate it!!!!:0(
Anyway, a lot of you have asked about my new job? LOVE IT!!!!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!! It was the best decision I could have made. I went from a totally stressed out job all the time to no stress and all fun!:0)

Anyway, guess I'll go back to Spanish now.......wish me luck!

Number 27

So this past Friday(the 17th) I celebrated birthday number 27. I thought "eh just another day!" I was hoping that Joe would be home for it, if not we would celebrate it late. He DID come home for my birthday! I got woken up from my nap after work to a gorgeous man in ACUs carrying a dozen red roses!:0) My kids at school sang to me about 10 times that day. It was cute though. So I got to thinking...what is so great about turning 27??? Well I figured two things. I am hoping to graduate at 29...so I am 2 years from graduation( roughly!) and I want to be a mommy at 30...so I am another year closer to that goal too!:0) Overall it was a great birthday and I cannot wait for next years 363 days from now!
Have a great week!!!!!

New Job

So Monday August 13th I start a new job. What was wrong with my old one? Nothing!!! I was perfectly happy and content at my job. I got a phone call though asking me if I was interested in a TA in the school system. As most of you know I am currently going to school to be a teacher. I could not pass up this opportunity. I want to be in the school system to see how things work, to have a mentor and to model my own career after the teachers I will work with. I am totally scared and excited at the same time.
The only down fall to me leaving my job is I loose the scholarship that was paying for my school 100%. BUT...I am not stressing! God will provide the money for school. I am going to find other scholarships or whatever.

Have a great weekend!:0)

The 2nd wedding cake(and the others I did this weekend)

This is the wedding cake!!!!
This is the grooms cake.... I guess the groom likes motorcycles.
This was a baby shower cake for twins. This was a baby shower cake for some people who hunt.

Anyway, that was my weekend!! Tell me what you think!!!!!

When it rains it pours!!!

OK ,so let me tell you about all the baking/ decorating I have to do with weekend. I have to make 2 dozen cupcakes tomorrow night. I have a wedding cake, groom's cake, and a baby shower cake on Saturday and another baby shower cake on Sunday. Needless to say, I will be pulling an all nighter on Friday night. I will post some pics of the cakes probably early next week. (after I get some rest!)
So I know all of my army friends are going to tell me to quit bitching...but this whole Joe being gone thing is getting really old!!!! I am SO BORED!!! I was so desperate for something to do, I babysat tonight just to get out of the house.:0)
Anyway, hope you guys have a great rest of the week and wish me luck with all my up and coming cakes!:0)

A Day and 1/2

I am leaving at 3:30pm on Tuesday to go and see Joe down at his drill Sgt school. He gets the 4th off and the morning of the 5th off so I am going to go down on the 3rd. I am SO excited. It has been 3 weeks and I am READY to see him!!! I have a feeling though that the next 2 days at work will be LONG since I am so anxious.:0) I bought some red patten leather high heels for his graduation...might have to wear them before then!! Anyway, hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July.

TTYL,

My first wedding cake

Ok, so this last weekend I did my first wedding cake! I did not actually get to assemble it, because it was an outside wedding and they were afraid it would melt if it set outside. Anyway, here are the pictures. It was A LOT of fun but A LOT of work! I made all the flowers by hand. The flowers are in order by the 3 layers. The last pic is just pic of the flowers I made. Anyway, tell me what you guys think!:0)

I thought I was past all of this!

So I took Joe to Ft. Sill on Monday for a 9 week drill Sgt school. I am so sad. For some reason this 9 weeks is a little hard on me. I sat at Ft. Sill for 4 and 1/2 hours in the heat waiting for Joe to come and get his stuff out of the car... I was miserable.
Anyway, I am going to be a little lonely the next 9 weeks so I could use my peeps to keep my spirits up!:0)

Rain, Rain go away!

It is raining a lot here. In 2 hours it rained 5 inches. There is SO MUCH water everywhere. Our back yard looks like a lake. It's crazy!

Taking a break from government....

I am studying for a government test I have tomorrow. Not too terribly hard...Joe just had the SAME class last semester!:0) It's on-line and open book!
Anyway, if you guys have not heard about ...Rosie O'Donnell is an idiot. I am so disgusted with her. She thinks that our soldiers are the terrorists and that we killed over 650,000 "innocent" Iraqi's. I highly doubt that the military killed all 650,000. Aren't they declaring Iraq a civil war? Meaning that they are killing their own people? I think that what Rosie is doing is treason. If she loves the Iraqi people SO much...THEN BY ALL MEANS GET THE HELL OUT OF THE UNITED STATES. Our husbands, fathers, brothers, and uncles did not fight for this beautiful country for people like you. I am banning all things Rosie. Any show she does, anything that has to do with that nasty pig that she is.

My Camping adventure

So I just got home about an hour ago from a weekend of camping. I took a shower to find something VERY disterbing on my stomach. A TICK!!!! WHY did God create the tick? What is the point of such a nasty, nasty creature? Can anyone tell me what animal or plant benifits from a tick?
Anyway, back to my adventure.
Joe and I and 5 of his buddies went camping. I was the only girl( in the beginning!) I am actually SO glad that I went. Those boys needed a lot of help! They definitely needed me and all of the things that I actually remembered to bring! Don't get me started on trying to help them put their tents up! We went fishing yesterday Joe got 2 little fish. One of them he caught the fish by his side...that was weird!
I am so tired I am very sleep deprived! I got about 3 hours of sleep both nights. My air mattress did not stay inflated so I slept on the awesome hard ground both nights. Anyway, better get out of here. I have laundry to do.
Have a great week!:0)

Random stuff

Ok so I got 2 A's and 2B's this semester! I was guessing 3 A's and a C... I was close!:0) Anyway, my grandma is in the rehabilitation part of the hosptail now. She seems to get a little bit better every day, although her memory is still bad. She fell out of bed this weekend, so now they are keeping a closer eye on her. My mom saw the bill from the hospital(before insurance) it was 120,000.00 THAT IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hospitals and doctors are making WAY TOO much and some of them give horrible service,but still get the big bucks.

As you may know I started a cake business in december. Although I do not have pictures of all of the cakes I have done, I posted a few on here. THe last one(Dora)is the first cake that we did. I am having a blast and the business is growing! Anyway, tell me what you think!:0)
