Yuck!!!!

Well today has been just a yucky day. My allergies are in full swing ehich means , uncontrollable sneezing, watery eyes and let's not forget the lovely runny nose. I sure hope tomorrow is better. I have a lots of orders to complete and ship out before Monday.

So what is new, well a lot really. We are in another transition stage in our life. This year I closed some doors on people that only caused drama and one of them was part of the reason we moved back to South Bend. With that being said, we have become a lot closer to Nate's younger brother and his soon to be wife. I love them to pieces. We are going to be standing in their wedding this July. Natalie is now 15 and is such a beautiful and kind young lady.

I also decided school was not in my life plan anymore. I know a few of you will be shocked, but please do not be disappointed, I am truly happy running my own business which has skyrocketed this year so far.  I am doing what makes me happy and that is being crafty.

So what is in our future, well those details will come in time. I will catch up on more soon. I know I left out a good chunk but I have to get back to making orders. Have a great weekend and be sure to tell your mom how much you love her.

WooHoo Notre Dame Beat Navy

Do I went to my second official Notre Dame Football game today. We had the best seats considering we are not ticket holders. I loved the fact that we were located right by the band and we were able to look across the field at the student section and see them in full force. This was a great late afternoon date with my lovely husband. We enjoyed a the ball game and the walk back to the car.

Tomorrow brings lots of work. I took Friday and Saturday day off from making orders to enjoy sometime with my hubby. My etsy business has taken up a lot of my time and we needed just some up time with very few distractions.

As for the Etsy shoppe, I have added a few new items this week and I am going to be adding Grinch cupcake toppers tomorrow.

Well enjoy your Sunday and remember to take time out to create new memories with your family. =)

I really need to stay on top of blogging. I mean how hard is it. You write down a few lines and then your done. Well it's not that simple. Life is a busy game and I am always playing.

I am still busy with my Etsy shoppe and I am so grateful for that. Nate and I both have decided to return to school starting this Spring. I really have to thank some wonderful friends and professors for the light nudges to get my butt back in class.

We have some exciting plans for Spring Break too. We are going to Europe for the first time. Natalie is so excited. We are going to visit London, Paris and maybe somewhere in Ireland or Germany. Still not to sure which one.

Well I will be back as soon as I remember and maybe I will have enough time to write 2 pages in updates.

Holy Banana's it's been awhile.

Wow. It has been awhile since my last update. We are now mostly settled into our new home. I am still working on lots of orders... Yeah Me!!! Nate is back to work and Natalie is loving the fact that we are home.

Baby news. My baby brother welcomed his 6th child into the world yesterday morning at 6:47 am and I was allowed to be there for this joyous occasion. I cannot express in words what that meant to me. Wyatte Bentli Wheatbrook is the newest member to our family. Welcome Wyatte!!!

School:
I thought this door was closed. I had already made the choice to walk away when I lived in Bloomington. IUB really soured me towards college. Since being home, I have been contacted by some friends and professors that I respect dearly and they all want me to finish. I know deep down in my heart that it is something I want to do one day. I am just not sure when that day will be. Will it be the spring semester or next fall. To tell you the truth I just don't know.

More updates to come soon.

Today is my Birthday

We are now back in our home town of South Bend. A lot has happened since the last time I was on here. My Grandfather passed away a week ago today so we decided to move back home earlier. Natalie is back in the full swing of things with course work.

Nate and I are still working hard on catching up orders. Not to sure yet what he will do but I know it will be something he likes.

As for my birthday, my mom, grandma and niece are taking me out to dinner at Red Lobster. Natalie is going to see Glee 3d and Nate will have some down time to himself.

Nothing to exciting. More updates to come.

Hmm..

Moving day is fast approaching and I could not be more excited about going home. I am so happy that we have made the decision to go home. Family, Friends and loads of memories is all waiting there for us. Woohoo. It makes packing not all that bad.

Now I am wondering if trying to blog and facebook about my etsy shoppe was a bad idea. I am running giveaways on both and yet still now new followers or fans. I guess I will keep working on new ideas and angles. Any suggestions, I am open to all.

Remember once my blog hits 25 followers I am giving away 6 cupcake toppers of the winners choice.

Pass along the word and please let me know that you have become a new follower.
