More Quilting

So I know that I still haven't posted any pics of my car but I just haven't taken any and we'll see when it actually happens. Hopefully this next week my fingers are crossed.

Going on, I've still been working on my quilt and this is what it looked like as of last Friday.

This is not what it looks like currently but maybe I'll take a pick when it is laid out tomorrow, it is really coming along if you ask me. I think it is going to look very elegant and classy. Looking forward to also seeing the end and see what it really ends up looking like.

On another note, still don't have a job that I want, still looking though. I'm really looking forward to having a real job not just a job to get me to the next step. This is the next step. Oh on top of that I will be sending out my graduation announcements soon. Don't know how soon, I can never seem to get things out on time hopefully this will be better than the thank you cards that were supposed to be sent out to those who gave us wedding presents.

Oh, so excited that JP won on the Bachelorrette. Don't think that I would have watched another season if he had lost.

Hope your Tuesday will be as good as mine!!!

Graduation It Really Happened!!!

Just so you all know I really Graduated!!! NO JOKE!! Want to see.....

See Look Me and the Man

Once Again

All my siblings came to celebrate!!!! LOVE THEM!!!

Look Mom and Dad and Grandma Too!!! 

I'm a little sad that I didn't get pictures of the other people that came to support me, Doug and Becky, and Julie too!! I sure am glad I have great in-laws that are so supportive.

Just let me tell you this they all sure were proud, lets just admit it I was a little proud too. Now that I'm done I don't really have much to do in terms of work so I've been spending time with my Grandma. This is what I've been doing.

Just one of each block that I had finished.

So I've been working on this black, white, and red quilt I've been working pretty hard on it the last 3 days. I am 2 blocks short of having done 44 blocks in total, I'm going to try and keep posting on my progress and all the other things that have been going on.

Oh and maybe I'll take a pic of the car so that you can see what it looks like. Just so you know I was skeptical about the car but pretty sure I'm in love with it now that I've been driving it around.

Signing off...............

Graduation Seriously

Yo Yo Just thought I'd let all you know out there I'm graduating tomorrow. Finally I know it's taken 5 years holy cow. Anyway REALLY excited and looking forward to it. And my Super Cool Husband is pretty much the best, Guess what my Graduation Present was..........A Car! I know right how cool, who would have thought I would have been rewarded with a car. Anyway on to something new, I had to have an exit interview with one of my professors it was really funny. He told me before I left his office that I had a really nice personality and that he liked my disposition in life. Who would have thought that a teacher would have paid that much attention to who I really am, I guess people are really watching what I do ( without me really knowing it). Alright well I have to make dinner now so I'm signing off, but YAY for tomorrow can't wait. Oh except that I have one more test to take..... Boo.

Yum Yumm and Yummy

Now this is the first time I've ever done a food/recipe post but I couldn't help it these little treats are just so tasty I just had to share with everyone else out there.

                                                  Caramel S'more cups

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie mix

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 egg

24 round chewy caramels in milk chocolate, from 3 (1.91 oz) rolls, unwrapped

72 mini marshmallows (about 3/4 cup)

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1. Heat oven to 350F, Spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.

2. Make cookie dough as directed on package, using butter and egg. Shape dough into 24 (1 1/2-inch) balls.

place 1 ball into each muffin cup.

3. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove from oven, firmly press 1 candy into center of each cookie until flush with cookie top. Top each with 3 marshmallows. Bake 2 to 4 minutes longer or until marshmallows are puffed. Cool 10 to 15 minutes. Loosen edges of cookie with small metal spatula and remove to cooling racks. Cool completely.

4. Place chocolate chips in small resealable freezer plastic bag. Microwave on High about 1 minute or until softened. Gently squeeze bag until chocolate is smooth; cut off tiny corner of bag. Squeeze bag to drizzle chocolate over marshmallows. Let stand until hardened, about 10 minutes.

New Place

Well it's almost official we have found a new place. YAY!! I'm pretty excited it's super cute, all painted and has cute little touches and lots of storage. We looked at the place on Monday evening and jumped at the thought of living there and here it's only Thursday and it's ours we'll sign our lease this weekend or on Monday not sure what the Man's plans for the weekend are but I'm excited to make it my own and start decorating. I've got some work to do, bought an old dresser that needs some work and needs to be painted and I think that I'm also going to paint our headboard and foot board so that they match the dresser. Still need to figure out how I want to do it and what color (Our bedroom will be sage green, any suggestions).  I think that the other thing that has been going on is that I had to go to the doctor yesterday no fun. Last week I bumped my hand on a door frame and it caused a viscous cyst and to my dislike the Man wouldn't hit the top of my hand with a book. I also asked several of my old coworkers to  do the same and they wouldn't either which is strange since several of them have been to prison for violence. Anyway go to the doctor and find out what's wrong and he says most people just take a hard book and hit their hand with it, I would have just come home and had the Man do it but if he wouldn't do it the first time why would he do it the second time I ask. So instead I just had the doctor take a needle and poke it so that it popped, it looks worse now than it did before and hurts more too. I should have just taken it into my own hands, instead of going to the doctor.
One last thing...... TARA IS HAVING A BABY GIRL, GONNA BE AN AUNT AGAIN.

V-Day I know it's a little late!!

V-day was so great, Mitch sent me flowers and work how great.

I was the only one in the office who got flowers, and that's not because they were all boys because there are only 2 male coworkers compared to the 7 females that work there. But I think I did pretty good with what I arranged for Mitch. Since he got his truck he's been wanting a Taunu cover for his truck and with my connections at my previous employment I was able to get one for him at a fraction of the cost. So yeah I rocked it. And we just had such a relaxing night and didn't have to deal with all the crazy people that were out and about.

Funny Things Kids Say

I'm going to share a story with you about how funny kids are and how they don't understand how things work. 

To set the stage Mitch and I were and his moms house for the day on Saturday. When we got there there were a few kids there

1. Conner, our nephew 6

2. Tanisha, someone my mother-in-law takes to church every Sunday 10

3,4 Cole and his twin brother, his name slips my mind, 5

The boys were going crazy and started chasing Mitch around and shooting him with candy, while Tanisha was in the kitchen helping Julie make sugar cookies and frosting the cookies. During the course of conversation with Julie, Mitch's mom, and Tanisha the topic of Tara, Mitch's sister, came up. Tara is pregnant at the moment and is extremely hormonal and moody, who can blame her right. Anyway we got to talking about how her child is going to be just like the boys who are running around and Julie said well yours will be the same way. Tanisha not really knowing what tense Julie was speaking in says, Julie both your kids are having kids. I soon corrected her and we went on with the conversation. A few minutes later Tanisha asked me so why don't you have kids yet, I tried to explain to her that we haven't been married that long and her response was doesn't Mitch want a kid someday. I told her to ask him thinking he would say yes just not yet. His response was NO. She was a little disappointed with that answer, not understanding that he was a little consumed with being chased, having candy launched at him, being beaten with foam swords and didn't think that he just at the moment he didn't want kids. A few hours later, while we were sitting down enjoying a few of those sugar cookies and chatting some more, Tanisha making sure Mitch isn't sitting by me continues to tell me how much she likes me and how fun I was. She looks over at Mitch sitting on the other couch saying you should put a baby in her belly. How funny, like she understands that it just doesn't happen like that. Anyway that was my funny moment of the day on Saturday
