Hey Followers!

So I figured since it has been a while since I last blogged, today was as good as any! Seeing as I'm not up to much today. So not a whole lot has changed since the last time I blogged, I'm still watching the kids and I'm still hanging in there when it comes to school. I just finished my classes and  finished my Finance class with a B! That's the best grade I've gotten in forever! I'm still waiting to see what I finished with in my English class but hopefully I get feedback soon : D I've been on the lookout for different crafts to do with the kids since it's going to get super cold soon. They like to be outside the majority of the time and I'm going to be honest I don't want to be out there freezing my A off.

So I got Logan a pretty huge gift this last week because I figured he deserved it. He's wanted a Kitchen aid mixer for the longest time and we didn't have as many bills that month so I bought one for him. I figured this is sort of an investment if we do someday start baking to sell. Since then he bakes cookies almost every weekend which is awesome! Not to mention our friends kid had a b-day and we made him a homemade chocolate cake. Check it out

 Such cuties!!!! So the chocolate cake was homemade as well as the the icing, I didn't have much to decorate with but its a chocolate cream cheese icing that I sort of whipped together and I sprinkled a little powdered sugar on top : D it was scrumdeelumptious!!!!! I want to sort of experiment with different icings and I def. want to learn how to make the edible flowers and such! Any who enough about all that....

Lindsay did a photo shoot with a photographer here in Minot named Nelly, (she's a sweet Mexicana & super talented!) Nelly had posted on her page that she wanted to do a shoot with a Mexican with the flag just to have fun with. Lindsay had said I should do it but I of course was automatically like ...uh no! I hate being in front of the camera, I'd rather be behind it but I don't have that talent either. The only one who takes pictures of me is me. So I went home that day and sat there and thought about it and thought, you know this could be fun I'm not trying to be a model but I've never done anything like it. I have always been too shy and why not try it. I emailed her and we set the date, went over and my stomach was in knots! I got super giggly (because that's what I do when I'm nervous) and felt awkward but only because it was me. I don't have that sexy look most girls can do, I'm the goofy don't find myself sexy type of person. So here's a sneak peek of the pictures, I know most of you have seen them on FB but I wanted to share them on here too.

I really like this one because it has me with the flag

This seems to be mostly every one's fave, I personally don't like it but I can knit-pick my own pictures all day long!

I <3'd the way this came out it's more me, I guess like I said I can find flaws on this lady all day! i do have to say though even though I don't like myself in the photos I love the photos themselves. does that make sense? Nelly is so talented and I enjoyed doing this with her! I want to get family portraits done but I also want to lose some more weight before I take pictures next to my hunky hub! lol

Since Logan was on 12's for about 2 weeks we had ourselves a little date night last night. I had so much fun we didn't do much, we drove to town bought Ali a new winter coat and went to dinner. Dinner was so much fun, it reminded me of times when me and Logan had just met. I must say I'm one lucky girl being able to have someone you can talk to about anything and be a complete retard in front of is pretty nice!  I feel bad because I've been super moody lately, but it's just the stress of getting older. I want a plan, I don't want to worry the way our parents worry. I want to be able to have money saved up just in case something happens to one of our vehicles, or we need to to go home last minute. I don't like that I always feel as though we're scrounging up money just to get by. So with that being said I don't think we will make home for Christmas, just cuz we're lacking funds. Oh well there is always next year. I'm kinda bummed too cuz the lil' bro came home and we had talked about them driving here. That isn't happening but that isn't really in my control, mom is having a hard enough time taking care of herself she doesn't need to come here and waste money. Like I said there's always next year.

So I guess this concludes my blog-post for this week/month, who knows how long it will be before I blog again. I can't really complain about life right not cuz it's not so bad. I'm slowly easing back into the gym and am super determined to lose this weight especially before I end up preggers. that's only more weight to lose afterwards. Who knows maybe it just isn't meant to be. I'm not saying that I'm giving up but I'm not trying to think about it so much anymore. I have a lot going on and I'm going to be honest maybe it will be better after I graduate?! Either way I'm determined to graduate now more than ever. I made that mistake of giving up before and I'm gonna be honest, I'm not that person anymore.
Till next time stalkers <3
