So Much To Share...

To start off...we are still waiting on the baby my parents are supposed to get. I will share pics and info as soon as they come.

Now for news...back in April I had one this scrapbook blog contest and I was to receive a package of scrapbook supplies as my prize...I waited and waited and nothing came...so I eventually emailed them to see what was up and after giving them my address the package was on its way. It came on Friday but I had already left for Kalla's so when I got home today there was a huge box and inside were the below goodies!
This is an awesome caddy tool that I have wanted since Christmas...and I got it free...not the color I would have chosen...but still great!

LETTERS--my favorite...stickers, chipboard, punch-outs...FABALOUS!

Paper...paper...paper...never enough!Embellishments of all kinds...new ideas and so excited!

Had a lot of fun spending time with Kalla and family at her party this weekend.

Zach, Sara, and I drove up on Friday night after I got off work...quite an adventure...one of the best parts was when Zach had to climb into the trunk through the backseat...Sara and I were dying laughing!


It was fun to see my cousins too...Spencer is now 18 and an adult...scary! Taylor is a gorgeous 14 year old.
It was fun to see Kalla and Chris and get to spend time with them before they become a Mom and Dad!

Update and more stuff!

So the car is fixed or almost fixed...a flat tire turned into a whole day mess...that took a few days to resolve but happy to be done with it!
So excited for this weekend...driving up to see Kalla on Friday night with Zach and Sara...have a party all day on Saturday...head home with Sara on Sunday...maybe make a pit stop at Ikea! This will be the last time I get to see Kalla until she has the baby...and even then I probably won't make it up until Labor Day Weekend! I am so excited for Kalla and Chris...and Baby Ronning. Can't wait to meet the little fellow. Will update with pics later!
Also...tomorrow I am probably getting a new brother. My parents will be taking in a three month old infant boy, named Arrick with the intention of adopting as soon as possible. All in all a lot going on, will update with pics when I have some!
More to come later!

BE WARNED...THIS IS A VENTING SESSION

I HATE TIRES!
So my morning started off fairly well (except for waking up at 6:30 instead of 7:20 because my body decided--so I was a little tired), then it all breaks loose...I go to get in my car and drive away and I hear a thump-thump-thump noise and I think, "oh, shit, I have a flat!" Now since I have been driving, I have had my fair share of flats: the first Valentine's Day Keith and I were dating, leaving church one day, leaving work one day, and now this one. And those are only the ones where I was driving, Keith has had a few that I have been there for and Keith and my sisters and I had one on a trip once. So I am an expert at changing tires.
Today proved a little more interesting...once I realized I had a flat I had to park somewhere...I was still at home, but the spots in front of our house are on the street and I WAS NOT parallel parking with a flat tire...so I pulled into the alley which is a slight downhill...luckily catching Keith before he left for a morning breakfast meeting. So we start to change it...on the hill..forgetting we should be on a flat surface...and the jack slips...yikes!
So we drive to my parents to get the hydraulic jack...come home and try it...and it still is slipping!
So now we are waiting for our insurance company to send out a tow/tire change guy to fix this problem....and it is only 10:15 in the morning!
