There is a lot to be Thankful for in my life. I am Thankful for a loving husband, who shows me daily his unconditional love, and support. I am Thankful for all of my family, including my In-Law's. I am truely blessed for all of their love and support, their advice and just to be able to hang out and bond with all of them. I am Thankful for amazing friends, ones that I have been friends with forever, and no matter how far apart we are, it's like we never went away. I am thankful for the new friends I have made and am making, they are such an important part of my life, I love to hang out with them, learn new things, talk and of course craft together! I am Thankful for my job, my co-workers are completely amazing women, I have made friends there and we feel like one big family. Mind you were are all women so we have our moments lol. My boss is just an amazing women and such a role model in all she does, I can go to her even when I need advice outside of work and she is always just right there. I wouldn't say it is luck being where I am now, it is definitely many many blessing to be here and I am just grateful for all of it. I am so grateful for my ward, I am still getting to know the many people in our ward, but they are all so friendly and nice. I am a bit shy so it is hard, I know that in time though it is going to feel even more like home there. Above all I am so very grateful for my Heavenly Father. I have come such a long long way from where I was and where I am going. It has definitely not been easy at times but all of it has so been worth it. I would not change anything right now in my life, I can see clearly where I am and where I would like to go. If anyone had asked me that in the last 7 years I don't think I could of ever given them an answer, or any answer I would of given definitely wouldn't of matched up within time. I had a major wake up call, and I made the changes as necessary to be where I am.
Anyway I just wanted to share my Thankfulness.
Nothing much lately been going on. I sprained my ankle this week at work, its sore, I am hoping it starts to feel better soon. My husband and I stood in line (well I sat on an empty sturdy stand) at the Wonder Bread / Hostess Discount store for an hour or so today purchasing the last of the Twinkies we could find. They were Chocolate Creme filled but hey I am not picky... Twinkies are Twinkies, and the last to be sold for a while if not forever. I wanted some Zingers but I didn't dare try to go to another store for those lol.
Did you notice anything new? You should have. I got creative this evening and changed my blog... It suits me much better!
Well I guess I should go crochet.
Have a blessed night :-)

Eyes Wide Open...
Wow it has been 12 days since my last post. I was really trying to keep on top of this. Lets see,
Oct. 27th
Family day. We went to Salt Lake and spent time with Jeremy's side of the family both his mothers' and dads' side. It was fun and nice. We realized it gets hard to socialize with everybody. We got home and were bummed that we didn't socialize much with Jeremy's sister. That was a bummer. We miss her lots and love our times when we get to see her and the family! Dinner was very yummy and after. We traveled back home to Idaho.
Oct. 28.
We woke up late for church but at least made it to Sacrament. The rest of the day was pretty much relaxing and enjoying time with one another.
Oct. 29 and 30.
was back to the grind of work, we missed hanging out with our friends that Monday because the hubby had to work late.
Oct. 31.
I was sick, totally not fun. I also craved Halloween Cupcakes and so my honey came home with some it cheered me and my taste buds up but definitely made my stomach mad.
Nov. 1.
I woke up and ate a banana (BIG MISTAKE) I will never do that again when I have a stomach bug. My stomach hurt I was curled up in a ball calling my boss to let her know I would need one more day. Danielle later that evening brought over some delicious dinner. I was able to eat it, and keep it down. Her chili is delicious!
Nov. 2.
Friday I was back to work, tired and slow, but I was there.
Nov 3.
Hubby and I spent some time together, we went and checked out if renewing out costco membership would be worth it. We checked out a house that was for sale its fun to see what is out there (No we are not looking to buy any time soon). We talked about school and looked into briefly where we would like to try to go. Then we relaxed a bit before he went to work.
Nov 4.
Church this morning was good and very enlightening. We went to Danielle's for dinner it was delicious! That was about the fun of our day.
Nov 5.
Called BYU Idaho and got some answers. Had to wait for an adviser to call me back because they were busy with registration... was feeling pretty good about it. Work, and then spent some time with our friends and their children, then came home and study the election stuff until we just couldn't look at it anymore!
Nov 6.
Woke up. Found out BYU Idaho offers the program I want, just not the way I want it. Only considered a minor. I would get a certificate of completion but its not like a technical certificate, at least that is how the advisor made it sound and so it was back to looking into more colleges. I then got ready, and left to make our Vote count. Felt good about it all day. To bad we are still stuck with the same person and know that the next 4 years are just going to be more hell. Yes I said hell, cuz it will be!
Nov 7th
Called College of Southern Idaho, was disappointed, and so I went back to looking into Le Cordon Bleu and there program. They are supposed to be a really good College. They are in Portland, Oregon though. Called my husband about all the exciting news. Though we were both down pretty much all day because of the election.
Here we are today. There is so much going on in my head. Obama being President sucks butt! I have my reasons for saying this. Both Jeremy and I work for small business companies. My boss yesterday did not hesitate nor stumble over any words, when talking about depending how things go within the next year/s or so we could end up having to shut down. I love my job, I love where I work, and finding jobs here is, well, really hard to do, especially with no degree. My husband and I have been working on getting debt paid off, we really want to be debt free. With Obama's re-election that goal got more serious.
My husband and I both play WoW (World of Warcraft) Its pretty much our entertainment during the winter months. It however is a luxury expense we are now cutting out. I joined Weight Watcher's. I have done really well on it. Lost 10 lbs and counting. I just cancelled it this morning. We are part of a train club. We just changed out status to inactive. By the end of next month, we will be shutting off our internet.
These are all pretty big changes. We enjoy every single one of these things we currently have, and have been blessed to have. But we want to be debt free more then we want these things. While cutting them have kinda become a necessity, its actually more of a want. It feels good. We are actually working towards a goal together, as we always are and are serious about it as we always are. I know we will achieve this task. :)
Maybe having Obama re-elected was a good thing, for my husband and I to get better prepared. Whatever the case we are trying to make the best of it.
In other official/unofficial news I have made a decision!!!!
I am going to get my degree in Culinary Arts. I am going to attend Le Cordon Bleu... thats the official news lol. The unofficial news is we intend to move to Portland, Oregon. Don't know when. I can say definitely not before we are debt free. I can't even say that is the plan soon. I can say however that, that is going to be a goal.I am excited and Blessed that I have a husband who fully supports this decision too and is excited for me!
Well that is about it.
Ciao for now.
