Well, it has definitely been awhile since I last posted!(Almost an entire MONTH!)
1.) I finally got my unemployment money! Thank God for that!:)
2.) I still haven't found a job. But I want a job that makes me happy and lets me still be able to go to church. So that's why its taking awhile.
3.) Aaron has to have an ACL Reconstructive Surgery done October 5th. He really messed up his knee.
Those are the biggest updates.
Has anyone else noticed that just about EVERYONE is pregnant?! Its spreading like wildfire! There are only 2 couples that Aaron and I hang out with on a regular basis, and thank goodness, they're the only 2 couples NOT pregnant! One has a kid, but he is the cutest kid ever, so its okay. Right now, I am counting like 8 couples that we come in regular contact with!!! Even my sister-in-law is pregnant! And my cousin! Its kinda crazy this baby boom. Last night my best friend, Emily(a non pregger.) and I were talking about how crazy this is....and how we're lucky we aren't prego right now. That sounds bad. BUT if we announced we were pregnant, it'd be like "So, what's the big deal? Everyone else is pregnant too." We want our kids to be a big deal. So for now, and for those reading this, Aaron&I and Josh&Emily have planned to enjoy this time(especially with us being just married) and throw everyone else showers, go to parties, and enjoy being kid-free for awhile. Aaron&I are talking 5 years-awhile, not sure about how long for Josh&Emily. Although, wanting to remain kid-free right now has its challenges. For instance, with all the showers we've been to and have thrown, we've seen a LOT of baby stuff. Like A LOT. And its really cute and fun to shop for it. I know several times when Emily&I would be getting ready for a party, we would have to stop ourselves from planning nurseries, picking out the most awesome stroller(which btw, there are some super cool ones out...we decided that by the time we have kids, strollers with hover next to you..no more pushing!lol),picking out more names, or whatever. We've had to distance ourself from it. So instead we talk vacations, working out, and how much we hate to clean! Wow, how in the last five years I've changed. The other day my mom stopped by the house, and I was in the middle of making my grocery list, and she just laughed. I asked her what was funny and she said "5 years ago you couldn't have cared less about a grocery list.It's just funny." And now that I think of it, it kinda is. Five years ago, I was 17, a senior in high school, working at Subway part time. All I cared about was band, seeing my boyfriend,and getting out of high school! Now at 22, I'm married, with a house, 2 dogs, a Sunday school teacher, and making grocery lists, honey do's, paying bills, and throwing baby showers. Haha. I still enjoy staying up past midnight playing in the park(which we did last night.), shopping at Victoria's Secret for more than just perfume(awesome tee sale this week!), being spontaneous and driving to Fayetteville just to eat at an amazing pizza place, sleeping in on Saturday mornings, etc. We have a lot we want to do before kids! Thank goodness, that once all our friends and family have their kids, we can take a break from babies. I think by March 1st, everyone I know will have their little peanut, bean, jellybean, or whatever.(Which another btw, Emily&I decided that we will refer to our children as lightningbugs until we know the gender! Its a long story as to why, but we love it!) And Aaron&I can focus on our anniversary!(Whoa.Our Anniversary.) I just realized that this kinda turned into a kid-themed thing. That was an accident.
Anyways, Monday morning I made all natural homemade peanut butter dog treats!
'E' for Embry&Elliot!
Here's the recipe:
1 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 1/2 Cup White Flour
1/2 Cup All Natural Peanut Butter
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup water
Mix peanut butter, water and oil. Add 1/2 cup of flour at a time until a dough forms.
Roll out to 1/4" thick. Use cookie cutters to make fun shapes!
Bake 20 minutes.
Its super simple and so far, Elliot has LOVED them! Embry...well, she is just like me. A picky eater!
She is warming up to them though!
Oh. I ALMOST forgot. I painted our front door....PURPLE!!!!
As soon as I get the wreath done for it, I'll post a picture!
Its September 1st...guess what that means?!?!?!
