Too Long

Sorry, that it has been a while since I posted. I've just been going through my routine. Pretty normal stuff. We bought some carpet for the kitchen. I've only had plywood in in since we moved in cause we have never put anything there. We bought some indoor/outdoor stuff for the floor and then Adam went to work on installing it. It is almost done, and is sooooooooooo much better then the plywood. I'm so excited cause it looks great and will be so much better. We are trying to plan a last minute Halloween party and tomorrow we are going shopping for some supplies!! It should be fun. Adam starts training on November 5. It should be about 11 weeks long and then he will be a probationary firefighter for a year. Kameron is too smart for his own good. Whenever he talks, you would think that he is older then he is. He is our little man. Kaydence is getting bigger everyday. She is a wonderful baby that takes catnaps throughout the day, but sleeps most of the night. It is nice. Well, she is stirring, and I've got to unload the dishwasher and catch up on my chores.

Houston FireFighter

Well, on Thursday, my hubby brought me home roses. He asked me if I loved him, and I told him of course. He then gave me the best news ever. Houston Fire Department called him and offered him a job!!!! OH MY GOSH, I was so excited and proud and happy and so many emotions at once. He is a wonderful man and will make a great firefighter. His training will begin in November and he goes on Wednesday, 10-17 to sign his paperwork and get bunker gear. Go Adam, you ROCK!!!

Great Day

Today was a great day. I started it off right by heading out to the gym and running a mile and a half. I've got that down. Next time I go, Thursday, I plan on running for 30 minutes and seeing how far I go. After that, I went and visited my cousin Nancy. The kids played together and had a blast. I then headed over to a lady I met on Kingwood Yard Sales to pick up a Jogging Stroller that I got for 15 bucks!!!

Then I headed over to the store to pick up some milk and a few other things that we needed. I came home and got my cards ready to mail. About that, on Saturday, I went to a Shoebox Swap. I learned to make this card,

sorry it is a little blurry. Then I went home and tried to copy the pattern with supplies that I had. It turned out good, but just not the same WOW factor as this one. All of the product in that card is Stampin Up product. Here is the card that I made:

I made four of them and mailed them out to my cousins. I got invited to start sharing stuff with them monthly so this was my first thing. I also sent them a photo of the kids!! I went to Michaels and Hobby Lobby on Monday, and brought the original card. I did my best to match paper, and this is what I came up with on my second atempt.

Still not the same, but until I get a few different punches and some stamps, I'll just keep on trying. I thought that they both came out really cute. I made 3 of these and mailed two of them off to other people. I had to run out in the rain today to catch the mailwoman so she would take them. I felt so good after I cooled down after my run. I didn't realize how much better it made me feel. It gave me energy and a desire to get tons done. I'll let you know how that goes, I can hear my baby girl getting up.

Hanging Out

I got to hang out with a good friend of mine yesterday. She came over about 9:30 and stayed until about 5:15. She brought her daughter over to play with Kameron and they had a blast. It was so good for Kameron to play and it was great for me to be able to visit. I hadn't seen her since Kaydence was still in the hospital and it was good catching up. She took home a few of the recipes that I have cooked, and she was excited about trying them. I have been working on a project for the shoebox swap that I am particiapting in on Saturday. I still have a few more things to do, but I am excited about what I made and hope that everyone likes them. Well, I'm off to bed, cause it is really early on this day of October.
