Yummy Yummy

Do you see that yummy-ness right there??

That was my lunch yesterday! Raspberries with a packet and a half of Truvia! It was pretty amazing. The best part, I didn't get to eat them when I took the picture :[ . I actually ate them about 3hours later....with a straw. Still, it was really yummy!

But yesterday was a greatish day! We had our house inspection, our termite inspection with the company we want to use, the FHA inspector showed up. Everything looks good! It's all in Gods hands so I'm not really worried. He found the house for us, He'll make sure we get in!

So I have started a new blog with my best friend Cyndi! It's called NWA Coupon Time, so expect to hear from me more often!

Well except for this weekend. This weekend, we will be going with our friends to Branson!! Fun fun fun!! Can't wait to upload pictures :]

Life

is about to get hectic.

This weekend is going to be a lot of fun, but it is going to lead to at least a month of craziness! Saturday we are going to be house hunting! I am really praying that God leads us to the right house. We are looking in Rogers and there is one in Bentonville. They are all in pretty good condition if not better, though a few of them might need a little work done. It is so exciting!

We are going through the company I partnered with and will be able to receive a cash back rebate. They also paired us up with a realtor and a real-estate assistance to ensure that we are absolutely satisfied with our realtor and the experience. It's been a big help so far!

So today we woke up a little late and I decided not to curl my hair. It was cute in the mirror but now I'm getting annoyed! I am so glad that it has been growing faster than usual! I had a little messed up hair cut, that went from my long blonde hair to short purple hair. Which later became brown, much better! I hadn't had short hair for at least a year and a half, maybe two. So it has been a pain when I don't curl it. But mom is supposed to be giving me a trim so hopefully that will help! I'll be staying the night at her house Friday while Joshua stays the night at our friend James house while they have a little Black Ops party. LOL silly boys.

Lets see yesterday I had a great time catching up with several friends. I even learned a few interesting things.

Oh one of them, Dani, has her own little business. She makes baby girl clothes, and she gets better all the time. I'm excited to buy some from her once we have a little girl! The cute little model was with her, she had on a Tweety Bird Dress and it was so cute! But there aren't any pictures! lol

Well tonight Josh and I are meeting up with another friend of mine from back in the day! Haven't seen her in years, and I'm pretty sure she's bringing a picture of a Halloween we spent together...Probably going to be embarrassing :/

I hope you have a great day!

Vacation, you left too soon

We are officially back from Branson. Well actually that happened yesterday but still.

Some of our amazing church family invited us on a trip to Branson this past weekend and we had a bast. We went shopping, so not only did I get some really good deals at Old Navy(85dollars for 10pieces of clothes=$8.50 a piece= not bad!!), I got some exercise in! It was walking but still, that's not bad!

Hubby got some clothes, I got some clothes, so it ended pretty well. Not to mention, he found a watch he like and I found a wallet AND purse!! woo-hoo! Granted we didn't get them...yet. We get discounts online and cash back so we decided to go with that route for that store(Fossil).

Enough about shopping! It was a really nice little condo thing we got to stay in(Diamond Resort) and it was great to just relax. There was no wi-fi unless you wanted to buy it, which we didn't. So no technology but our phones and the tv! We watch Animal Planet almost the whole time. I really really want a Newfoundland doggie!

Really the only draw back to the weekend, was how cold and windy was!!

Well I've got to go and get a few things ready before I head of to lunch with the Mister! Hope you have a great day!

The Start...

To something addictive.

Which is working out!!

Yeah, the Mister and I have been getting back into the gym. And let me tell you it is amazingly addictive. For now we're waking up early, heading over there, showering, getting ready, he goes to work and I get to work. Its great. And Exciting!

By the way, to all you out there who do the P90X, you're tough! There was an info-mercial on the little t.v's for the bikes and treadmills and it looks intense! I thought about buying it, but we have two more years on our gym account, so when that expires I might buy it, hopefully the price will go down too!!

Tomorrow though we won't be working out in the morning :( ,only tanning :) [we tan two days a week for now, after next week it'll drop to once a week] , then heading to get Josh's check from his previous job. That night though we probably will work out, if there is a gym at the hotel we'll be staying at. Some great friends from church invited us to a time share thing that they are going to in Branson! It's going to be a lot of fun!

God has really been blessing us. I really really REALLY can't wait to be able to bless others, so much more than we are able to now. :)))

Well, I've got to head off to lunch with a friend! Hope you have a great day!!

Hello...Again

Wow.

It has definitely been A LONG time since I was on here. I keep forgetting about this thing...oopsies.

Well...where are we???

Joshua and I are looking for a house! It's exciting! There is one I found that is relatively close to his new job (he's a Banker now!!). Two bed, One bath, perfect for us for right now. It even has a gardening plot in the back. I'm really hoping we get it! Very exciting!

God has really been blessing my business and Joshua getting this new job was a huge blessing! He gets to have a normal work schedule and we can really be a family and be able to spend time with friends, no more night shift EVER. yay!

We were looking at going to California in April to visit my family, but with the (hopefully) getting a house by the beginning of March that might be on hold until May. My grampa was really sick, and I was very worried. I wanted to make sure Joshua had a chance to meet him and the rest of my family out there, and to make sure I had the chance to spend time with him. He is doing much better (Thank God!!), so I really wouldn't feel to bad about pushing the trip to May. I was really hoping to go for a whole month, but with Joshua's new job, it may only be two and a half weeks. I'm going to try to set up a luncheon with Joshua's grampa who lives in California also, they haven't seen each other since Joshua was really really little!

Well I really don't know what else to blab about! So hopefully I remember to stop in before a whole month goes by!!

Lovely Wednesday!

Today! Has been a very good day!

One day left until HUNTING SEASON!! Which brings me to my first topic of discussion...

This morning an old friend of mine from middle school(we've been casually talking) invited me over this morning to meet her little boy and catch up! It was great! I even got to meet the other man in her life! And I am so happy that she is doing well and is happy!! But the even better news is that this Friday Mr.Baker and I are heading over there for dinner! A little get together so the guys can meet each other and AM and Mr.Baker can meet each other. Even though they did go to school together they never really talked. So I am really excited! We'll be having steaks!

But when I told Mr.Baker about this he got a little upset....Because he forgot that earlier this week I had made plans with AM for a friday night get together. So he is very very torn, he won't be able to hunt the first day of Hunting Season, but he IS getting a steak....

he LOVES steak! ha ha plus it will be grilled!

So I can't quite remember if I told you about little Miss CC's birthday party this last...friday! But it was a lot of fun! We had burgers and hot dogs and cupcakes and icecream and chips! Not exactly in that order, but close enough!

and there's little Miss CC with cupcake all over!

Then after all the fun died down we headed home. And I was still very hyper so when we got home..I pretty much went camera happy! Would you like to see? bah ha ha ha

technically this is BEFORE lol

first I tormented Blue..

as you can tell by the look he gave me

and he got even by trying to lick me...

then it was Mr.Bakers turn...

I love the deer caught in head lights look personally!

we put our best duck faces forward!!

for real!

Yeah ya see that little dog there...he stole my spot. I put him on the bed to play cover monsters with Mr.Baker and he just walks right over and lays down. trying to steal my spot!

Well that's all for now! I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

My sincere apologize...

I feel horrible. No lie.

I said I would be revamping some clothes and I have only been able to do one. Well...I guess I didn't fore se how my circumstances would be so I am going to take a break and start all over. But just to prove that I have been trying here are a few pictures! lol

Remember this skirt? wow it looks a lot shorter here than in person lol!!

See how un evenly lovely is my first attempt lol

haha this is still the first attempt.

So see! I have not forgotten what I promised. I even fixed my sloppy hem and am going to be sewing it tonight! yippee!!

Well I don't know if I've told you or not but Mr.Baker and I have a tendency to be rough and chase each other around the house...a lot. Monday that bit me hard ha ha ha I stubbed my toe and it still hurts.

please excuse the horrible nail polish...

the close up! lol by the way it totally bruised after this picture.

the culprit!!

I don't know exactly which part of this evil piece of wood it was that decided to stick out and get in the way of my toe but it's all evil to me.

After the toe incident Mr.Baker wanted to go scouting. I protested of course because of the pain emanating from my pinky toe but he just wouldn't listen. So I got all glammed up.

would you like to see a close up?

Gorgeous right? Don't you love what I've done with my hair!!??

and of course we have to have a picture of Mr.Baker. (He really isn't shooting anything he just wanted to look cool because he knew I would be taking a picture.)

Well we were out there for I don't know...two maybe two in a half to three hours. We didn't see anything. Not even a squirrel. Or a rabbit. So thanks to our doggies we will be relocating the hunting spots. Which won't be a big deal but I'm not looking forward to taking down and moving the tree stand. By the way I like the tree stands a lot more than the climbing stands they just seem more secure to me ha ha So finally after the misquitoes eating me alive we decided to go in! But on the way back I did find a pretty flower!

Can you see me??

Dinner last night consisted of scallops and asparagus. It wasn't a very balanced meal but it was good. I definitely can't wait to cook scallops again and make it a lil more extravagant meal ha ha

I also made some scones for breakfast this morning! Well I made them last night. They were really good but they could have been a little sweeter. Mr.Baker had a point when he said they tasted a lil more like biscuits. But for breakfast I put some raspberries and a lil more honey on them and it was pretty good!

I am definitely grabbing a soy joy though! YUM I totally need a snack.
