Matilda Part 2

So....Matlida and her babies are not cooperating....

Matila is our pet bird....we are unsure of what kind of bird....but we feed her and we provided a nice grill for her to build her nest.. It's sad because Rose and I were really looking forward to grilling this summer....seems the birdy had other ideas....I'd post pictures but they are blurry...and little Matildy was falling out cause she was on the edge.....I'll try again tomorrow.

More to come......

Matilda Part 1

I know....I know.....I've been a slacker and haven't updated my blog....I am going to take pictures of my new pet Matilda and post them....You will love her.....and her babies....Rose and I have fallen in love with Matilda and her babies.....Stay tuned for pictures....I can't wait.....

Happy Birthday!

Today is Tom's Birthday.

I am not sure how often he actually checks my blog but I suppose we will find out after I post this lovely blog.

Happy Birthday to my man....

Thanks for all you do for me....

You are sweet, a great listener, great teacher.. (LOL...yes...he's taught me a thing or two about life and for sure about cooking.), great encourager....and the list could go on. However; I can not continue or you may get too conceited and I can't have that.

I hope you have a great day off today and I'll see you later hopefully.

Apartment has color....

Rose and Paul took some time and painted the apartment last week.....Looks darn good, I think.. We (Rose and I) decided that if we are going to live here for 14 months and are allowed to paint we are going to take advantage of that. Rose plans on painting a wall in her room as well. I thought about it...but it would be way hard to move the furniture...So far living here has been really nice...

I do ask for your prayers. I am going through a rough time and just ask that you pray as I figure things out and find out what God's plan is for me and as I make some decisions that are not so easy. One Day at a Time is what my family always says..Glad I have such a nice supportive family and a great supporting boyfriend and friends. God is good and will direct me.

6 more days until I turn 26....ahhhhh......I am getting old....

Tagged by Ahora (aka: My Sis Shelly)

So I have a few minutes to update my blog. Shelly, my lovely sister whose birthday it is today tagged me for some crazy reason. LOL :)

So here are the rules:

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning. (That would be right here, this is the beginning, and this is also the first rule apparently.)

B. Each player answers the questions about themselves.

C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

What where you doing 10 years ago:

I was getting my drivers license...I can't remember that long ago....but I'd say I was one Sassy Sweet and cool chick.......

Things on my to do list today:

Let's see....what have I done thus far today. Talked with Tom about stuff.....I did laundry....I cleaned up the apartment and thought lots....I attempted to communicate with my sister Lia via the gmail instant messenager and had no sucess doing that....I watched TV and look a nap...and currently I am at Tom's house....He's making me dinner and cleaning his house...Good times... Now what should I have done today....laundry, a budget, take a nap, clean out my car, go for a walk, and picked up the barstools from Target...they are on sale for $22 only until this evening...

Snacks that I enjoy:

I am not a huge snacker but I love popcorn, chips and cheese, and veggies...

Things I would do if I was a Billionaire:

Oh what would I do if I was oh so rich...I'd start out by hiring a personal shopper, a personal trainier, a house, work part time, I'd travel to Africa, I'd travel around the world, donate lots, help out friends and family....hard to say...but I would find ways to spend the money....

3 bad habits of mine:

Reading into things or trying to hard to fix the things that I have no control over, not waking up in the morning, and not cleaning my car out all the time....

5 places that I have lived:

Grew up on Kaiser street....then Thornridge Lane..then with Lia and Scott, Egan Avenue, and the next one I would prefer to skip and just say Ashbrook apartments....and my new lovely apartment in Grand Rapids....

5 places I have worked:

Top Notch Cleaning as a Cleaner.
Notions Marketing as a Order Selector
Borisch Manufacturing as a Contracts Assistant and then an Office Assistant and Receptionist and now I am an HR Assisant who stays plenty busy!!!

My victims....oh man....who could I select....I pick my friend Lynette, My mom, Katie, Tom's cousin (Nash Family Home, and Just News from Joan....Good Luck and enjoy

So the pictures aren't that great but it gives you a little idea of what my apartment looks like. Rose and I are all moved in. We are lacking some things on the walls but it's just a matter of getting someone over there to help us out. We love it and so far we get along great.

More pictures to come.....

I do apologize for the lack of creativity on this one.

Moved

So I am almost all moved into my new apartment. Tonight I will take pictures of the new place and also maybe post a nice picture of my new roommate.

Thanks to all of my family and Tom's cousins and of course Tom for helping me move....I wasn't stressed out at all...I did however realize that I do have a lot of stuff....My mom unpacked the kitchen....and I think we ran out of room to put things.....Opps....

Stay tuned.....pictures to come.......

My slacker self now has internet at home...so I am very excited to update outside of work.

Before I go...I need to send a warning out to my dear friend Lynette that decided it would be funny to post some crazy pictures of me on her blog.....paybacks are not so great this time of year....so keep watching the blog, your time is coming crazy girl.....(you know what I would have said here)
