Five Friday Favorites

Oh it's been way too long since I have done a FFF, I am so bad.  Thanks Suzanne for hosting this every week for more FFF fun go to http://susannesspace.blogspot.com/. 



Well my daughter is a Senior so needless to say I have lots of things to be thankful for.
1.   I will start with her becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant.  She wants to be an RN so this is a perfect place for her to start.  We are so thankful she has had this opportunity,

2.  She got accepted into the college she wanted to go to.   She plans on working through the summer and starting in the fall.  I can't believe I am talking about my baby going to college, it seems like yesterday I was laying in the hospital bed holding her for the first time. 

3. She got a job doing CNA work for one of her teachers grandparents and she gets paid pretty well for a young single lady.  This is the job she will probably work at this summer.

4. I am going to be a Thirty-One consultant. they sell purses, totes, bags, stationary and other cute things every women needs to get organized, I will need to book some shows (catalog or home) so if anyone is interested in hosting a show (catalog or home) in August or later let me know.

5. My husband and I had a wonderful date night last week which started Friday around 3:00 pm and didn't end until Saturday around 11:00 am it was a wonderful night and we really need to start doing date nights more often.

Sorry no pictures, I have been so busy and I was so excited about our date night that I forgot my camera, I can't believe I don't have one single picture of our night, I'm awful.

I hope you all have a blessed weekend.

Good morning!  I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted anything, I feel like such a failure.  Anyhow, life has been pretty busy, I have a Senior, a Sophomore, a 6th grader and a 3rd grader, so yeah life is busy. 

We have been enjoying our new baby cow he is so cute, we should have 3 more born within the next few weeks. 

My husband and I had a date night, we really need to do this more often.  We went out to eat to a Don Williams concert and then stayed at a hotel after the concert, then we went out to breakfast the next morning.  It's nice to spend some one on one time with the hubby.

I have been trying to eat more vegetarian meals and not so much meat so I have tried some new recipes lately that have actually been pretty good. 

I got a Nook for Christmas but actually I haven't even read that much on it only 1 1/2 books, like I said I am pretty busy so I don't have a lot of time to read.

My sister-in-law have been going to a read the Bible in 90 days it's been going pretty well and we are almost finished with it.  Not sure what we will do next but can't wait to find out. 

Our kids only have about 8 weeks of school.  My daughter already has her prom dress, shoes, purse and jewelry all ready to go.  The day of her prom I will take her to get her nails and hair done.  I am trying to enjoy everything with her this year, she will be gone before I know it.

We had some family in from Nebraska for a visit a week or so ago, it was nice and everyone is supposed to try to get back her for a family reunion/decade party in July, it will be nice to have the whole family together. 

The decade party is for a bunch of family members who will all hit a decade mark this year it goes like this:

Mom  70
Uncle 60
Sister 50
Me 40
Nephew 30
Daughter 20
Son 10
Friend new born baby this year
I think we will have a wonderful time.

I went on a field trip with the 3rd grader to the Children's Museum in our state and we had such a great time my sister in law and I want to take the kids back again for a longer visit.  She also bought a season pass to the zoo near our house I think I am going to buy one to so we can take the kids a few times this summer. 

I am still at my goal weight, I have kept it off for over a year now, so I'm pretty happy about that.

I have a big day scheduled this Saturday of shopping and running around with my girls.  I think we will have a blast.

 I know it's a little early but I am already thinking of fun things to do this summer that are relatively cheap or better yet free, got any ideas.  Let me know!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!
