Jonathan's Football Book

It's not done. I am however done with it for today. It's actully kinda boring to do football pics over and over! I was glad to do the last page for today with Jonathan and his girlfriend. It was a nice change of color. Enjoy!

He prayed with me

When I was done "taking care of things". When I sat there not knowing what else to do. When I was at a loss for words, actions, emotions. He came up to me. He kissed me. He put his arm around me. He weaved his fingers through mine. He told me he loved me. And he prayed for my Dad, for the man I had just spoken to, for the situation. Without me asking him to, he prayed. I love him.

Amy Beth

AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

I'M SO STINKING EXCITED!!!!! ON FEBRUARY 2ND JASON AND I ARE GOING TO A CASTING CROWNS CONCERT!!!!! THEY ARE HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE BAND. I LOVE ALMOST ALL THEIR SONGS. THEY SPEAK TO ME. AMERICAN DREAMS.....EAST TO THE WEST....DOES ANYBODY HEAR HER...I LOVE THEM ALL. I CAN'T WAIT!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

Memory Lane

I love to go back through pics on my 'puter. Not only is it a great trip down memory lane, it reminds me of the scrappin ideas in my head that have yet to make onto paper.

These are some of my faves from tonight

This is the finished product of Jason's tattoo. I have about 40 pics of the entire 2 hour process. I even bought this cool Chinese paper(even though the writing is Japanese) to scrap it on. Is it done? Nope not yet :(

This is one I've actually scrapped, but it's still a fave. The kids look so cute and bright. I can't help but love this photo.
Savannah and Grammie.

I'm a total grammie's girl. It makes my heart swell when see a pic like this of my 2 favorite girls!!

Me and my hunny.

Whew! So much history so little blog space! He's my love, my life, we have been through so much. Every time I think we've reached our breaking point we come out stronger and better than ever.

Our family. The reasons I wake up everyday.Work is going OK. Everyone is freaking out about BOA coming in tomorrow. Honestly, I could care less. It won't effect me. I think I'm going to Happy Hour tomorrow with Lou and Teresa. Nothing can beat $2 margaritas and girlfriend time. Especially heading into a 3 day weekend. Jason doesn't have Monday off, so it will be and the kiddos chillin' here at home. What a wonderful day that will be!

Oh Happy Day!

Yesterday was the best day I've had in a LONG time!!! I can't stop smiling. I think maybe could fly if I tried!!

The Game

A couple months ago I sent out one of those chain e-mails called 'The Game'. You were supposed to respond and describe the person who sent it to you in 1 word. It was a nice ego boost and I decided to do a layout about it. I received 2 awesome, 2 strong, and 2 confident votes. Due to space constraints and repetitiveness I only place them on there once. Of course, it's orange....hehehhe.

I don't get it

How do these sites do it? You answer 4-10 questions about yourself. Or in this case you only put in your name, and wa-la, it tells you all about you. Like below, it's very close to to me. How does it know from typing in 'Angel'. Weird. Enjoy!

HoHoeHo What Angel Means

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

What's" Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Year of Angel-Birthday 1

I have decided that during 2008 (The year of Angel) I will celebrate my birthday every month on the 13th. Nothing big(until October). I just want to do or get something that I would normally put on the back burner. Some thing that makes me feel better. So this month, for my first birthday of 2008. This is what I did...

I got solar nails. I had them years ago, but have never splurged to get them again. Well, in this year of Angel, I did. While I was getting my nails done, my hubby also got a manicure!! He totally liked it. His hands are softer and his nails look great. I told him, next month we'll go get pedis together.

Savannah had a birthday party today. It was at this place called Incredible Pizza. It makes Chuckie Cheese look cheap and boring. It has go-karts, bumper cars, mini bowling, putt-putt, skee-ball(my fave) , and every arcade game known to man under 1 roof. Yes, it's indoors. It's so cool. Savannah received an unlimited card as a party attendee, and we had a blast!!

Now we are home watching the Packs and the Seahawks. We have a friendly family wager on this weekends games. Savannah is the only one going for the Seahawks. I'm going to do some digi scrappin this weekend. I told a friend at work I'd make her a new myspace background, and i have ideas for a few other things I'd like to do.

It's a boy!

My sister had her sonogram, and it's a boy. She is due the end of May, so I have lots of time to shop for cutie boys clothes.

Rambles

I'm feeling better. Not so menstrual. The last 2 mornings I have gotten up and drank coffee. It helped. I'm embarrassed and ashamed to say it helped me get through the day without wanting to fall asleep at my desk. Regular Joe, I didn't even pay $4 for it. Just me and my big orange mug. I think I may make it a trend. Work is good. I start my OJT classes on Thursday. I have two classes this week, and 2 next week. Then I will be officially allowed to pass on my CW knowledge. So, I buy company stock..... Did you see today's closing price?? $5.47, yup my company stock is worth a Grande White Chocolate Mocha with an extra shot of espresso. Depressing. Praise the Lord I only have 20!!! I decreased my amount for next quarter, I'd rather spend that money else where. They brought back overttime. Which is good b/c I need the money, but bad b/c I have to wake up earlier to get there for it. Mornings are not my friend!! I do believe the devil invented them. I took my first step towards preparing for my girls weekend in Louisiana. Have I told you how excited I am about spending the weekend with Amy Beth?? Well, here it is...I'm excited about spending the weekend with Amy Beth!! Don't ask what we are going to do, b/c I have no clue! It's no kids, no husbands, no schedules, do what you want when you want girl time!!! Only a little over 60 days to prepare! That's really what I need the overtime for. Hehehehe. My sister turns 21 in a week. It makes me feel old. My BABY sister...21....oh yea...and she's gonna have a baby! What! I moved out when she was 9, to me she still is 9. Geez time flies. I'm still totally loving the digital scrappin' thing. Haven't done anything since the weekend other than download free stuff. That's the best part, there is so much free stuff!! Cute free stuff!! It's amazing. Tonight Oli came over for dinner. He is a gentleman from our old Church. I did a scrapbook for him and his wife and their trip to the Israel. Anyway, I guess my rambles are about complete. I think I'm tired.

Cranky

Yup, that's me. It's menstrual. I can't help it. As Jason just said when he read this "It's begun". Oh yes it has. I hate it. I despise it. Not that most woman like it, but I really hate it. I'm high strung, moody, emotional, and just plain mean. "Things" that normally don't bother me the other 21 days of the month, drive me insane and consume me during these 5-7 days. I re-think everything, ask questions that I already know the answer too, and even worse ask questions that have no answer. It sucks. I'm already praying for Friday.

It's not girly...

But it's more like "real" scrapbook style. These 2 are my favorites so far.

They are still simple(they will be for awhile!), but I'm really enjoying myself. I'm a little burnt out on football though. I think I'll do a girly Savannah page next :)

More...

I have decided to do Jonathan's whole football album digitally. This is the first page.

Before and After

Tonight Lou gave me my first digital scrapbooking tutorial

Below is my page I did alone,

Me myself and I trying to figure out photoshop

This is my completed page, after my digi class,

it's so much better and cooler.

I have lots to learn, but I've got enough to get me started!

2008

has gotten off to a great start!! I know it's only the 3rd day, but I'm optimistic. They shifted some stuff around at work, so I have a little relief in some areas, and more responsibilities in others. I like it. I like pulling reports, cutting, sorting, pivoting....excel is my bee-otch!! Next week I will start training to become an on the job trainer. In '7 days and a wake up' I will lose my security blankie though. Katina has been my shield from upper management. She keeps telling us it might be better for us(our team)when she is gone, but I'm not so sure. I have a mouth that some people tend to find....hmmm...obnoxious??? I speak my mind, and that is not appreciated by most in our department.

Other than myspace profile I haven't done much for 'The Year of Angel'. I still need to set all my Angel songs on my player. I don't think I'm going to be able personalize my blogger background, the html is kicking my hiney and I just don't have the time right now to figure it out. I do still plan on doing my ME time on the 13th. I think I'm going to go get nails. I miss those suckers. I feel so girly and feminine with them on. Nothing says sexy like a french manicure!

I download some new digi stuff. I can't wait to play with it. I got some neat papers and embellishments. Katina is going to teach me how tomorrow after work. Yipee!

Good Bye 2007!

There is not a single cell in my body that is sad to see 2007 go. This year can't end fast enough for me. Tonight we were supposed to go to a friends house for a shin-dig but Jason didn't feel like going at the last minute so we stayed home. I was pretty bumed at first, but it turned out great. We ate shrimp, ritz w/ easy cheese, and drank sparkling cider :) We even got the plastic wine cups so the kids could feel grown up and special. We played Sports Scene It and Friends Scene It, set off "firecrackers" (poppers), and basically just hung out together. It was nice. I had hoped for a bigger end to 2007, but in all honesty the year has been "exciting" enough. So maybe a lazy evening with the family it the perfect end to a not so perfect year!!!

A toast to the new year

Chug it, Chug it, Chug it!!!
The reasons I wake up everyday
BOMB!!

Yes, she is wearing pink eyeshadow
Daddy and his Princess
Jonny Boi
Did someone say easy cheese??
Drinking the cider, notice how Savannah is holding her glass? SCARY!!!
2 people that couldn't be more ready for 2008
Have a safe, fun, and prosperous New Year!!

Today is the last day of the worst year of my life!

WOO-HOO!

16 hours, 57 mins and counting......

Frusrated!

I am try my hand again at this digital scrappin thing, and well, AAAGGGGHH! I took a tutorial from a website, which didn't help me much. I love the feel of PSE 6, but I still can't get this damn layers thing. Lou is going to help me next weekend, thank God b/c I'm about to go crazy trying to figure it out.
