Birthday Fun

This past weekend was a fun filled weekend....I wish every weekend was like this.

Friday---> fell asleep by 8pm << very needed >>

Saturday---> Hacker Brothers company picnic. It was soooo much fun. The owners are amazing. God really blessed us with a good company to work for. The owners themselves prepared & served the food. They had a ton of food, gift for the wives & enough door prizes for all the employees.
Then we headed up to Lexington to meet Randi & Warren. Their friend was playing in a band and we all went up to celebrate Warren's & Scott's birthdays by supporting him. We had great laughs and really enjoyed everyones company

Sunday---> time with the miss NICOLE ELAINE WALLACE
It was great catching up with her and Beth. We pretty much shopped as Scott just followed us around like a little puppy dog ;) No, we all really did have fun. We had lunch at P.F. Chang's (oh and breakfast at the amazing Dunkin Doughnuts) and spent the afternoon at the mall. We def. need to make more trips up to Lexington.

This up coming weekend is going to be exciting too! I got Scott King's Island tickets for his birthday and then sunday we are going to the famous Cincinnati WEBN Fire Works. Monday for Labor Day, we will be spending it at the wonderful Carol & Andy & parents :)

Google Cake

Today is Scott's 23rd birthday.
If you know Scott at all, all he does is google. Whatever information that comes out of his mouth is most likely learned from google.
So I had decided a few months back that I would decorate his cake to look like the google web page.

It looked really good....until the disaster...

Here's the story:
Scott loves his Fun-fetti cake mix, so I got him that. I always buy the amazing cream cheese icing but just recently we were invited to a birthday where the cake had that whipped cream icing....tastes just like cool whip << yummy >>
So he mentioned that icing and with myself enjoying that kind, I decided I would make that for him. We found the recipie and sounded easy enough...however...it apparently was not.

I made the icing and the consistency just was not right. We chilled it and did everything it said to do but it just wasnt right. But Scott was ready for his cake and so I went ahead and decorated it. Which it looked aWeSoMe! So then not thinking, Scott held it up to take a picture for the blog and facebook when all of a sudden, the disaster occured:

...sad day...sad day...

One great Weekend

This week has been a little stressful for me. They apparently hired me a week too early and so they sent me all over to different branches of the bank. Still being new & shaky on how to do things and not knowing anyone and being in different locations...I completely stressed myself out. But in the end, everyone was so nice and helpful and the other locations are actually not as busy as my home branch...so that was wonderful.

Friday was tiring. I was out in East Bernstadt, which is 30mins away. So I had to leave earlier in the morning and had a late night at work. So by the time I got home, Scott and Momma Sharon were waiting at the door to go look at a home. We looked and then rushed back to the house to change and drive out to Laurel Lake to meet some friends to go 4-wheelin' and hang out by a bon fire. We didn't get home until around 1am...lets just say, my bed was calling my name and had no plans of ever leaving it ever again :p

Saturday, I took my time getting up and moving but Scott was up bright and early to check on his job site. He had some guys that had to work a Saturday to be able to get ready for school to start this Wednesday, so he went out to make sure everything was going the way it was suppose to. Then we headed out to Gary & Stephanie's house for Gary's birthday. We hung out in the pool and grilled out and had some great cake. It was a lot of fun.

Then that night, we met up with a couple from church. They are so much fun. We were at the restaurant for probably over 2 hours and were cracking up the whole time....and they love having game nights so we are uber excited to start that up...once we find a house to host in.

This house thing is really stressing me out. I just wish someone would sell us their house...right now...at a really good price and with not much work needed. Is that too much to ask for?! :p

Then today, we went to Sunday school (which was really good today) and church. After, we went to lunch with the Pastor and his wife. They were really sweet. They were very interested in us and getting to know us and what we believe. And he was able to tell us more and give us a better understanding of the church and all the opportunities.

The rest of the day was relaxing. We chose to ignore all the things on our "to do" list.



<< August 9th = 3 years together >>
...3 years since the first "I love you"...
...& 3 years since the moment we knew we wanted to be with one another...
<< I love you Scott! >>

Prayer Request Update...

I talked to Nikki today and had some bad news she was just called with...

Her grandpa will not be able to come home like the plan because his heart rate is too low. Tomorrow, they will actually have to re-shock his heart in hope to get the rate up. She has no details and no more information about the situation tomorrow, please continue to keep him, Nikki, and the family in your prayers.





On a small side note about us lately, work has been great for the both of us. I survived the first of the month at the bank :) and Scott is starting to really get things under way on the renovations and additions and making lots of new friends out on the site.

And speaking of making new friends, Scott and I have really started to get involved with the church we have been attending. Everyone is so nice and Saturday, our Sunday School class had a dinner gathering that we went too. It was a blast! We had good food, good conversation, and really felt at home with our new friends. Then today, we attended a baby shower for one of the couples from Sunday School. It was so much fun seeing the joy and excitement on their faces as they opened the thousands of gifts...really, they got everything plus that is needed for one little human :) And please keep this couple in your prayers also. They have a neat, exciting, and stressful story with their pregnancy. This little baby girl Bella is one amazing miracle that proves only God is in control and everyone is so excited to meet her when she does finally arrive.

You can also keep us in your prayers...we are in the middle of buying a house. We have made an offer and now we are in the counter-offer stage. So soon you will either get an invite to come over for dinner or you just might end up seeing us on that HGTV show "House Hunters" :)

Well, it's on to another week of work...
