Wow...Two days in a row!

1. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

If I could change anything about me...it would have to be my fears!  I get my self worked up so bad about  flying.  I am deathly afraid of flying...I mean I tried to pass up on TWO FREE trips to Hawaii! Of course I went and I survived, but my anxiety is so bad!  I even take pills and they don't really help.  I stress for months before the flight knowing that I have to fly soon and then stress while on vacation about flying home!  Yes, I know flying is safer than driving to the airport but that doesn't make me feel any better.  I have had some horrific experiences on airplanes and I even had two friends pass away in a plane crash (a tiny plane...but still!)  All of these incidents rush through my head and I wish it would stop!  I would love to travel all the time...but I have to space out my flights!  So that's the main thing I would change! :)

2. Write about a time when you got lost.

I dont remember ever being lost as a child...I guess if I was, I blocked that out! :)  A few years ago, Wes and I were at my parents mountain house and we rode separately because he was going to Anderson before going home and I was going to Clemson for a football game or something.  I have never driven from the mountains to Clemson and this was before we had GPS and I took a wrong turn somewhere and got lost.  I hate that feeling of being in the middle of no where and not knowing how to get somewhere.  I of course I call Wes in tears, while he was laughing at me haha, and all he could say is use your map.  Of course I didn't have a map with me...he bought me one when I got home!  So then he asked...where are you? Why would I have to call him if I knew that?  Well after I drove some more, I finally found a road number.  While I was sitting there this scary looking guy walked by my car and gave his toothless smile and started taping the back of my car (I was at a stop sign).  Scared me to death...again Wes hysterically laughing at this point.  After a few minutes he figured out where I was and told me how to get to Clemson!

3. Camping or 5 star hotel?

It really depends on my mood.  I do love a weekend camping with friends.  We always have so much fun!  A large group of our friends usually go once a year (at a off road complex).  So the boys take there play vehicles for rock crawling adventures and we camp out all weekend.  This picture isn't of us of course, but this is the way to go....we have our truck tent with air mattress (that is made for back of trucks with the wheel base cut out) so we aren't sleeping on the ground...makes life much better!

 

But I am a girl, so I do love the excuse to stay in a fancy hotel too!! :) 

4. Have you donated blood?

I know this is going to sound horrible..but no I havent.  I will change that though!!

5. Do you have a budget or do you 'fly by' most months?

A little of both. I am more of the worrier about money.  I mean Wes also makes sure all the bills are paid...but I don't want to spend any money until all bills are paid and groceries are bought...Wes sometimes forgets how expensive groceries are!!  I cant wait to get to a point in time where we can save more money!

Time to catch up!

It has been another break for my from blogging.  I just cant get back to the routine of writing everyday...sorry Heather!    Here is what I have been up to this past week.

Last Thursday, my mother-in-law left Greenwood and headed to Surfside (Myrtle Beach).  It was so very cold Thursday and most of Friday, but the weather was beautiful Saturday and Sunday.  We finally got to enjoy the sun at the beach! 

We stayed at my sister in law's condo with her and Wyatt.  It was a great escape from Greenwood for a few days.  So nice not have a schedule and just do what you want

My Handsome Nephew

Emily and I went to the outlets one day during nap time and bought baby clothes!  Since she is expecting, she had to get some clothes for new baby Crawford and of course some for Wyatt too.  This is my first gift for New Baby Boy Crawford..

Well Sunday came and we all had to head home...

Then on Tuesday, I had my third cake decorating class....I am getting addicted!! It is so much fun.  This week we got to decorate doll cakes.  I bought the pan and I think I was even more excited that I can make a football cake with this pan too! (just cut the cake in the middle and lay them beside each other...cant wait to try it out). 

Tried to make Belle and her yellow gown!

Hair down and ready to go :)

My sisters cake :)

My mom's Clemson Girl :)

Can't wait for our class next week...we are learning to make flowers!! :)

Now that brings us to today...I had a stressful morning at work so far, but the hard part is over.  Since I work for the Girl Scouts, we apply for United Way money for our outreach program.  We had to turn in our application about a month ago, a team came to one of my outreach troop meetings to monitor and finally today was the interview process.  A panel asked us (my co-worker and I) questions they had after reading over our application.  I never know what to expect, so I always get nervous....especially when a lot of money is on the line!!  So hopefully it went as well as I think it did and my local Girl Scouts will benefit from United Way.
Guess I should get back to work now...not so bad knowing that interview is behind me now! Yay!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

 

I am getting really bad at blogging lately...hopefully I will get back to normal soon :)
  

I'm Loving...Wes and I went to my parents mountain house the other weekend (and i am just now sharing) so he could finish up one of my parents projects and start on the next one!  Here are some pictures from last weekend...

My Dad loves his signs!

Starting project 1,396 at the mountain house....a bridge to the other part of the mountain so you can across.  Eventually there will be parking and other part of the house over there.

 

I'm loving...that my mom, sister and I are taking a cake decorating class!   Last night was class number 2 where we had to bake the cake, make the icing and then decorate.  It is so much fun!  

Yummy Butter Cream Icing!

 I'm Loving....this little guy

This is Ben, one of my best friend's babies!  They live in Texas so I have yet to meet him but I just love him!  I sent him some Clemson goodies (the rattle) when she told me she was pregnant.  Then my parents went to Texas last week (So jealous) and met up with Alix and Ben!  This picture was from their visit....isnt he the cutest??

I'm Loving...that I am only working a half day tomorrow and off on Friday.  I am going to the beach with my mother-in-law, sister in law and nephew!  I cant wait to get there....hopefully it will not rain the entire time!

 

I'm Loving...that I get to work with my little Girl Scouts today! Since it is raining, I have to redo what I wanted to do with them...better get to planning :)
