Something fun

Ok, so I found this website where you can take a celebrity's photo and put your face on their body. (yes, I know, I have no life!) It's fun to play around with. Here is one of my better ones. Can you guess who's body it is? Oh, and almost forgot, the webiste is HairMixer.com. Now go have some fun! :P

Thank you God for the weekend!

Oh man, has it been a week! Friday was the last straw! Thank God that Friday was the end of the week cuz I don't think I could have taken another day of work! My kids have been awful! I have witnessed more screaming, temper tantrums, tattling, fighting, and NOT LISTENING to last me a lifetime! Seriously, NO LIE! You would think with the gorgeous weather we had this week that it would produce happiness and love in those kids... oh no! Devil children were unleashed!

But, thankful the week is over and I have a few days to regroup. So as soon as I'm done venting on here, I will stop thinking of it and focus again on my much needed week-long vacation I'm taking in two weeks. And I'll pray for a miracle that come Monday I will have 16 little cherubs eagerly waiting for me! (Hey, a girl can wish!)

Lucky sort of day

I had quite the afternoon. My friend Julie was in town, so we went out for coffee to catch up. We walk in and there is a Premier Jewelry display set up and a consultant there. Well we get to talking with her and she gives us two tickets for the drawing she is going to have in just a few minutes. So we put our names in and of course, I don't get my hopes up... I never win anything. So we are sitting there drinking our coffee and she comes up to us with the bucket and asks us to draw out the name. There will be 3 drawings with 3 different prizes to choose from: 1) $25 giftcard for jewelry, 2) $5 giftcard to the coffee house, and 3) a nail file. So I put my hand in and what do you know... I PICK MY TICKET!!! Of course I pick the $25 giftcard. So as we start looking at the catalog, the lady comes up again and gives me the coffee giftcard. My second ticket was drawn!! How crazy is that?! I honestly never win anything! So I end up with a gorgeous necklace with a pendant of 3 cubic zirconium stones. They had some nice jewelry to choose from. I'm sure she is going to call to see if I will host a party. It would be fun, but in the long run, I'm sure cost me some money. All in all though, I would say it has been quite a nice day!

My Grandparents

Well today was the day I look forward to every year... the day my Grandma & Grandpa Stauffer make their yearly visit on their way back to the U.P. Every Spring, since I can remember, they make a visit. Each time is so much fun. I'm reminded of how blessed I am to have them. I am a part of their legacy and it makes me want to make them proud. I love hearing stories about my mom and aunts and uncles from times past. It's great to get caught up on the "family news" and here the pride in their voices over all the different accomplishments different family members achieved in the past year. They truly are a great example of living a great, full life. Here are a few pictures from our visit: (Ok, so I'm having problems uploading the pictures, so if you want to see them, go visit my facebook page... I give up!)

New Blog

I admit it... I am a fan of fairy tales. When thinking of a title for my new blog, I knew I wanted it to be a glimpes into who I am. I am a person who goes thru life hoping for the "happily ever after". I know that life isn't always a fairy tale with a happy ending. In fact the older I get, the more I become aware that life is hard. So, do I have unrealistic thinking... maybe. But I still have hope. I can't imagine going thru life with no hope at all. Plus, I am a Christian, so in reality I will receive that "happily ever after", that being heaven. Call me a hopeless romantic, or unrealistic thinker... but i still want the fairy tale.

This title I think fits me. My life story is still being written. I would love to sneak a peak ahead, but maybe it is a good thing I can't. It would take the fun out of life if I knew what was coming. This way I can dream, hope, and be excited as my story unfolds. I am a lover of history and times gone by. This is my spot to record my history. Hope you enjoy my story... my fairy tale (however boring it may be at times :)
