To do this Week

Hello!! I'm feeling pretty alive at the moment (not sure where that came from). I went to the Brewer game last night (they won! yay!) and I was up until almost 11:30pm. That may not seem too bad, but that's late for me!

I couldn't get up this morning. It's a good thing I didn't have class, I slept until 10:30.. that's the latest I've slept in a long time! Anyway, so I'm posting my goals even though it's Wednesday. Deal with it. ;)

Personal:
-Cook at least 3 times this week
-Find my sister a birthday present
-Find time to read a book just for fun

Birthdays and stuff

This past week has been busy busy busy! With school wrapping up, I'm loaded with stuff to do.

I got my new car last week! It was an exciting, nervous, frustrating, happy, amazing time! Pretty much all emotions wrapped up in this whole experience. But it feels so amazing to drive something that it is all my own (and the fact that I'm not afraid it's going to fall apart is nice too)!


My little sister turned two last week also. So I went home for her birthday party over the weekend. She has quite an attitude, so in about 10 years or so... Watch out world! We spent the day trying to get a good picture of her, but she purposely frowns if she knows you're trying. Hence the following pictures. The only semi-good ones I got were while distracting her with my phone while the camera was faced towards her.



It was also Mitchell's dads birthday on Saturday, so we stopped at his house for dinner on the way home. He made ham. I love when he makes ham. Best ham I have ever had! It was a good time, until I was forced to play wrestling with Mitchell's little cousin. She has two older brothers who wrestle and she like to pretend like them. It's so cute! She brought out all these wrestling guys and an arena thing. I'm not good at playing wrestling. That is all.

This week is looking up so far, I'm going to a brewers game tomorrow- first of the season for me! Class on Wednesday morning is optional - so I'm obviously not going. And I have no major projects did this week! Holla!

Happy Monday!

To Do this week

Hello!

I realize it's Wednesday, and it's partly through the week already, however, I'm still going to post my goals for the week. Better late than never, right?

If it's any consolation, I did make the list on Monday with every intention of posting, but I got caught up studying for an exam. An exam that I didn't realize I had until the day before... guess I should show up at my night class more often. But let's be honest, it's SO boring.

This week is busy, exciting, stressful, and so much more and honestly I'm just looking forward to getting it over with. I'm (hopefully) getting my car on Saturday which is very exciting. I can stop driving Mitchell's gas guzzler to work. But, I'm a little nervous about it. It's such a large purchase and although I've done the math and I know I can afford it with my job, but I'm still nervous.. so any prayers would be appreciated! :)

My Goals from last week a couple weeks ago:

Personal:
-Cook a real dinner at least 3 times this week (Honestly, I don't remember...)
-Read the daily verses from church everyday
-Apartment showing Friday at 2pm (I need to find a place to live by June 1st) *I found a place!!!!*
-Read some of my new books over break! (Money Saving Mom's Budget, Pick Another Checkout Lane, Honey!, and Redeeming Love) **Completely finished Pick Another Checkout Lane, Honey! and it was a really great couponing book, I really learned a LOT! Got through 3 chapters of Money Saving Mom's Budget**

Financial:
-Pay WE Energies bill
-Do not go out to eat at all this week
-Create a budget for June 1st - after graduation (It's in progress.. planning on completing tonight!!)
-Clip coupons and check for deals (Grocery shopping this week)

Blog:
-Blog at least twice (one - cupcakes!)

School:
-Group paper for Friday
-SPRING BREAK is next week!!
