Grand day!

On saturday my love and I went to Oak Glen...to pick apples...too bad the apples were all gone :) We still had a lovely day and I'm so thankful I have such a wonderful husband, who's so fun to go on adventures with! We ended up walking through a few of the farms, eating at a VERY busy restaurant (but did have good food) buying some cider and trying my fav of the day, donuts! There was this place i'd heard about were you get mini donuts and pick flavors you want, we got pumpkin spice (of course!) and caramel apple, both delish! Last stop was to pick up an apple pie to share with the sibs, and man, it just about was as good as mine ;)

            ( I know I look a little mad in this photo, but I wasn't! It was the only pic inside the cider shop...)

"Grand day's" are wonderful.....

Here it is, my list! (notice friday's post...)

Sometimes I struggle with making list like this (even though I normally thrive on making list!) Because I want to accomplish them so badly :) But I'm just gonna enjoy the journey!

1. Read my bible at least once a week! I'm not the best at this so this makes it more of an attainable goal!

2. Make at least part of all the Christmas gifts I give this year

3.Learn to drive manual...my hubby has tried a few times to teach me but we need the lessons to return...

4.Sell something on my etsy shop! http://www.etsy.com/shop/RosieasaButton

5.Get a sewing machine (lots more to add to Etsy this way!)

6.Go see "white Christmas" (my fav movie is now a musical!)

7.Finally set up my craft corner. Having my first home, makes this a reality!

8. Start putting together my wedding album. Any one know a good company to use?

9. Go away for a weekend with my hubby!

10. Exercise 3 times a week...I don't want that "happy 10lbs"...although I'm afraid i'm not far from it...

11. Get a bike. Mk and I have been talking about this since before we were married....

12. Write a letter to someone once a week!

Here's to finishing goals!

 I love reading Danni's blog;
http://www.ohhellofriendblog.com/
Honestly, in the mornings, I grab my coffee and head over to "hello friend"....she's doing this great idea of completing 12 goals before the year is up! So I'm gonna join! I want to really think about what my goal's are so I'll post them on Monday! Can't wait to see how it goes!

Giving up....

(Things you once thought were important...)

Perhaps you thought this was going to be a negative post but on the contrary, it's some things I've learned being with my husband for 2 years! We are still just in our 4th month of marriage but have been together for 2 years. Our first date was October 14, 2009...we count that as our "anniversary" because we both walked away thinking this was a pretty significant change in our lives.

So, here's some things I've given up :)

1. Not always having a plan

2. The fact that some one else might indeed use MY tooth brush (once a gross thing to me but now...we're married...)

3. He uses MY hairbrush! (some days I wonder "what did he ever do with out me?!") :)

4. I'm a night person, mk's a morning person...I now go to bed most nights at 9pm...

5. I like things busy...mk likes them slow

6. shopping ferociously...although I'm seeing this is definitely a good change! 

7. It's not all about me...although mk does a great job of trying to make it that way :)

8. I like using my debt card...he likes cash

There are of course a million other things, but I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard :)

I love you mk more today then I did almost 2 years ago...I was so ready to say it to you quickly because I knew...I knew you were the one for me! I thank God daily for you, I thank God for the many first we shared together, I thank God that even through MANY big changes in my life, you have stuck with me. I love you. I love that I have freedom to say that to you daily and I love that I will forever be, your RB. My heart is yours (and Jesus') Happy 2 year!

Grand Day

So, even though this weekend consisted of a very tough day (my parents and bro leaving) it also had a bright side! Celebrating my sister's 30th birthday! That's right, she's full of grace, beauty and wisdom and has the wonderful privilege of 30 good years to be thankful for. Even though she may not be completely where she thought she would be at 30, she never ceases to amaze people of all her accomplishments! (especially from a sibling point of view!) Her biggest one is soon upon her, on Dec 16, she will become a graduate :) 

We celebrated with an "old fashion picnic" at Carbon canyon park. It was a joy to plan the day and yummy to make some of the treats :) Enjoy some pictures from the day...

Now, that was a fun way to spend a Saturday. Plus, we had beautiful weather for the day. It had been raining most of the week but don't worry, So. Cal is back to it's old self...it's only 93 today...

change...again...

All my life I've never dealt well with change. I thought after four years of living in England and experiencing a lot of change, I had finally reached a point where I could handle it...nope....!

I feel like I've had too many changes this year. True, I've had a lot of great ones (i.e. marrying my Michael) but I've had a lot of tough ones too.

1. Mom fighting skin cancer

2. Losing my gram

3. trying to find a job I like

4. Saying good bye to dear friends

5. my parents and favorite brother moving across country....

Can I just say, I feel like that's enough! I can't take much more....I'm tired of crying, I'm tired of doubting and asking why, I'm tired....

I'm so ready for there not to be any more big changes for a while. But, who can control that, right?!

Posting...

I've not been great at posting this week...but lots of changes have happened; 

1. my parents are moving this week :( So they will soon be on their way to North Carolina! I think a visit date needs to be chosen because I can't bear the thought of not seeing them...

2. I've felt very frustrated this week and don't know exactly way...maybe it's all the change? I've never been good at that...

3. I GOT A JOB! I will be a nanny 2 days a week! Which I totally love cause then I can still be a homemaker :) and work on more things to sell on my etsy shop. Plus, I love having some availability!

This weekend is going to be busy! Robyn's party is on Saturday and my parents going away party on Sunday and then....they leave :( At least I have MANY amazing memories with them and they are getting more techno savvy each day, so SKYPE is soon on their horizon (and they have my Randy who I'm sure will just love helping them :)
