Promotion...

Yes, that's right. I got a promotion. I did an awful job at my interview and they still decided to hire me. So as of next week I will no longer be a Dean's Assistant. I will be an IDS. An Instructional Development Specialist. Once I know what it is I'll let you know too. :) JK


Just a little recap of our life for the last little bit -


We went up North again, this time for my Dad's 55th Birthday which was on Halloween. It was alot of fun and most of my siblings were there so it was great to catch up with them. We also got to all iphone call (I don't know the terminology) my brother Alex while we were eating dinner. It's where you make a phone call and you can see eachother too. It's very "Back to the Future" like. But he just left for basic training so it was good to "see" him one last time before he left.


I feel like Ross and I are studying for test after test. I sometimes wonder what it will feel like when we're all done. Maybe we'll miss it. But as of right now, it sucks.


I few fun things though.....


*I found some really cute bird houses in the dollar bin at Michaels.
Check out how cute they are -
















The yellow one was actually a grellow color so I painted it but I thought they were a cute touch.



*Also my sister Caroline and her two boys came over for dinner tonight. She brought sweet and sour meatballs - which were yummy and I made these babies for dessert -

















Cherry Cookies - They were so easy and completely to die for. Leave a comment if you ever want recipes for stuff I make. (Which is almost nothing.... take out anyone?)


After a huge contemplation I finally figured out what I want for my birthday. See here.


I've been wanting to take a cake decorating class, but because of school haven't had the time. BUT in between semesters they have a 4 week course. SO I'm so there, with my sisters. :) I'm actually very excited about it.



Does anyone have any cute Thanksgiving craft ideas?! Maybe a cute holiday wreath..... like this. I need to spice up this place. If you do, please share :)


Have a great weekend!

P.S. I just wanted to add that as I write this post, I can hear my husband snoring in the other room. He works really hard and I don't think I ever give him enough credit. I really do love him. He makes me feel better than I've ever felt.

(Yet the little kid inside of me wants to go jump on him) BUT I won't....... it sucks to grow up sometimes.



I love you bunches babe!
