Run Dont Walk

Oooh SHINEY!

So one of the blogs that I read quite frequently Centsational Girl who is awesome and shows you how she transforms her home to a beautiful place to live for a little next to nothing & shares it all with the world so we can do the same is having a give away! And I want to win I want to win BAD!

So to get my second entry I am writing to tell you about it too my faithful readers!

Head on over to Centsational Girl and enter to win either a kitchen or bathroom faucet from Price Pfister.

Our kitchen is in desperate need of some new bling bling & this is the one I'll pick if I win!



Isn't she beautiful?

Killer

That is the only way I can describe this week!

I had 3 tests this week (one Wednesday & two Thursday/today) and it was just a nerve wracking week. I'm so glad to be through with it! I only have class tomorrow for about 2 hours.

But the greatest thing about getting through this week is not that I'm done with the tests (there are always more tests) but it's that I get to go visit my husband for the whole weekend! I'm so very excited! I cannot wait! I'm leaving right after class lets out on Friday so I should be there by early Friday afternoon!

I do not think I can contain my excitement! I might not sleep very well tonight! Okay that's a lie I'm dead on my feet! Like I said I'm lucky this week didn't kill me!

Even better yet I don't even have to worry about school this weekend because I got ahead and completed all of my assignments that are due for online work on Tuesday night. So that is a big relief that I will have nothing to do but spend time with my husband.......*sigh*

The perfect end to the most hellish week ever!

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Just Some Stuff I've Made

Hey all,

Well I have some time to actually blog and I'm quite excited about it, I find blogging kind of relaxing and a way to let go of the things that are stressing me out or worrying me. Another way I destress is by being creative so in the middle of my high stress summer I made a few things so I thought I would share them with all of you along with a few of my upcoming projects...

Enjoy!



First up my first crochet project just a simple pink clutch!



Next, my mini fat bottom bag



Next up, my sewing machine cover (& my first sewing project)



Lastly, my flat iron travel case

&& just for fun here are my two crochet projects of the moment



The Rachel Swing Jacket from Blueprint Crochet (I"m using cream rather than red & yellow)



& The big bow cardigan from Crochet Today, & I think I'll stick with the color scheme they used

Well thats all for now, I plan on sewing a lot more here in the next few weeks gearing up for christmas..& I plan on making myself a skirt

Smarty Pants

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm feeling extra smart right now because I got a 96 on my first radiography exam today! I'm proud of myself I studied really hard, and I know a 96 isn't spectacular to some but for me that is pretty darn good!

Just had to brag a little. I also started work today yay for money!

Okay I'm going to bed now gotta be up at the butt crack of dawn for 8 hours of class!

Good night :)

What I've been up to.....

Hi everyone,

well school is in full swing and man is it killer! I am loving every minute of it though! I've met some great people and our class is awesome. I love my teachers they are nice and funny and keep things from getting too boring after sitting in class for 8 hours two times a week. I have my first test on Monday I'm super nervous but I think it will be alright. We have our first day of clinicals is September 15th I'm real nervous about that. We'll see how it goes.

The summer was good but busy. We got home mid may and J immediately started working back at the base and flying again, then left for 3 weeks of training in WHFRTC and then we had about a month to spend with one another between working and getting ready for deployment.

I'm sure there are some of my readers who can attest to how busy and stressfull predeployment is. I seriously felt like a chicken with my head cut off for about 2 weeks straight. I still feel that way now but for a new reason (school).

When I had downtime I redecorated our room. I painted it and my dad came and helped me hang crown moulding and i painted all of our mouldings white and hung curtains and got new lamps and put on the bedding we got as wedding gifts. It's so peaceful and relaxing just what I wanted! Oh and J likes it too! I'll try and post pictures when it's clean I havent had much time to clean between studying and going to class and generally taking care of myself.

I've also became quite the crafterista lately. I've picked up crochet and sewing and love them both. I'll post pictures of my projects in a later post. I'm working on a jacket right now for the fall and I'm very excited about it!

Overall life is pretty good. I cant complain too much. I have great friends and family, an amazing husband who loves me unconditionally, and I'm achieving my dreams.

Life is good. I'll get more specific on things in later posts so I can have things to blog about rather than writing one long post!

I have not fallen off the face of the earth....yet

Hi everybody!

I'm so sorry that I havent posted in so long with moving and getting ready for deployment and school I've just barely had time to sit down. I also redid our bedroom while J was off training for 3 weeks and it turned out great! I'll post pictures sometime,and I've been crafting a lot lately too so hopefully I'll be able to get back on track with posting more regularly.

School starts the 17th so after I get readjusted to school I'll be back I promise!

Sorry again!
