I fail!

So I decided to stop doing the 30 day challenge, first off I am not good about remember to write everyday.  And second of all I don't feel like I have much motivation to write about some of the topics.  So sorry to the 2 or 3 of you that read our blog.


Better news, my computer will be finished soon so then I can post pictures of that.  Also I am going to start a business venture and create crafts and sell them on my website.  Once my website is done I will post a link for the website.  I hope I can make cute enough crafts to even sell....who knows maybe people wont want to buy them.  I am so nervous to make crafts and sell them on a website because I feel like maybe I am not creative enough or people will think I am dumb for the things I am selling.  UGH!!! Wish me luck :)  Right now I am playing with my Mom's Cricut to cut some vinyl letters for one of the crafts I plan on selling...if they look good enough, I may need opinions.

Craft Update

So many of you have seen in past posts that I am making stockings and a tree skirt.  Well.....its been one problem after another.  But I have gotten the top of the tree skirt sewn and hopefully won't have to much more headache!! I don't want this to be the end of my sewing...so I am trying to stay positive.. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of what I have done so far, I also made a cute letter A (for Almond) to put on our shelf I will post a picture later.

Days Behind

 Its time to play catch up!  I am so behind on this challenge.

 

 

Day 5-Somewhere I have been to....

Me and Cody went to Yellowstone a year ago and it was so fun, we were able to visit with his dad.  Cody was able to fish, and I was able to go to Yellowstone (where I had never been before).  Its so pretty there, I am looking forward to going back soon, its so nice to just stand and nature and realize how much we have been blessed with.

Day 6-Favorite super hero and why

I don't really have a favorite super hero....Batman is pretty cool though.

Day 7-A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

I think you can all guess who has had the biggest impact on my life, Cody changed my life for the best on 4/6/2009.  I am not sure how my life would be without him.  He is the best person I have ever met, I love him so much and I don't think he relizes how much of a impact he has on my life.

He even comes and takes my fish off the hook when I catch one.  Last summer we were at Payson Lake and he was out on his pontoon boat probably 50-100 feet away and every time I would catch a fish I would yell for him to come back...and he would paddle back and take my fish off and then paddle back out. :)  I have the best husband.

 Even though he probably didn't want to carry flowers he carried my bouquet so I could walk :)

 And everyone else you see in this picture has been a huge influence on me, even those family members in Cody's family..though I haven't known them very long they have been very good at welcoming me into the family.

 

Bad Habits

Day 4-A habit I wish I didnt have.


HMMM....

I have several bad habits, probably one of the biggest is having not time management skills at all!  I am horrible at waking up on time or being on time..I am working on getting this worked out so I can start being on time.

Friends

Day 3-Picture of my friends

Cody is probably my bestest friend ever!!  We have some really good times together, its nice to enjoy each others company.  I don't know what I would do with out my best friend/husband.  I am so blessed to have met him.

I realized when looking through my pictures that I don't have any on my computer of me and my friends.  My friends know who they are...and I am sorry we don't have pictures together.  We have had some good times together, its sad that as you get older and married friendships change.

A not so good day and our blog name

My blog name is The Almond Family its self explanatory...our last name is Almond and we are a family!

On another note...I was so frustrated today because AT&T owes us money for a deposit we had to pay, and now they are giving us the run around about it.  I was so close to being in tears at work, I had spent an hour on the phone with them and kept getting no help, and now I have to prove that we paid the deposit in the first place, its a really long story so I won't go into details but I hate when people don't follow up on what they say.  Don't say your going to fulfill on something or do something unless you plan on doing it.

Enough of my ranting and raving, but it feels good to get it all out.  I am sending all the papers including a letter to AT&T tomorrow so wish me luck in getting our deposit back like we deserve.

Day 1

Day 1-Recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself.

This is a picture of me and Cody from 2 weekends ago when we went to the corn maze.  We like to purposely get lost in the corn maze together it makes it more fun.  However, I don't think I look very good in this picture but I think Cody looks GREAT!!  While we were walking through the corn maze holding hands and every once in a while stealing kisses from each other :) I realized that my husband still gives me butterflies as if it was our first date.
