Partylite

Saturday, July 10th, 2010 @ 4 o'clock pm, my house

I am hosting a Partylite & Twin Sisters Gourmet Party.

We will be serving snacks, and depending on the weather might BBQ some burgers. Its going to be lots of fun. Feel free to bring a guest to join the fun and check out all the neat candles Partylite is offering this season with awesome specials going as well. Summer time is here...brighten up your home with some new fun colors and scents. Also, you'll get to meet baby Kylie *wink* that's just a perk. If you are unable to attend, but would still like to browse/purchase, I have order forms and catalogs.

Also, FYI, I'm thinking about becoming a Partylite consultant...so if you are interested in holding a party of your own, let me know.

Summer Vacation Here We Come!

☀ Our family in Alaska is coming to visit in 9 days! I'm so excited! They get to meet Kylie and we are all going to Pismo Beach! ☁ I cant wait! Kylie's first trip to the beach and we get to hang out with the family. Everyone is going, my mother in law, both brother in laws and their families, me, Matthew, and Kylie! Its going to be a blast. We need this trip so bad! My mother in law bought beach stuff for all the grand kids, including Kylie. She got her a swim suit, sunglasses, sandals, and a pail with a shovel. So cute! ☁

Just for the fun of it...

I love my Beep Beep!

That's right...I call my car alarm Beep Beep, and I heart it.

Before we had it installed, my doors didn't automatically lock when I started the car, and unlock when I turn the car off. Now, they do, and for some reason I think its the coolest thing ever...*giggle*...yes, simple minds like simple things *wink*.

So, any who, no more broken windows...or no more stolen items at least.

I'm very pleased!

Cleaning Bee...

I love these cleaning products. Greatest inventions Ever! *giggle*

Facebook Posts

I find that I rarely ever "Like" my friends status's. Most of them post things that make their lives seem so miserable. I feel bad for them when I read these negative postings. However, I was sooo happy to click "Like" and leave pleasant comments on most of the posts today. Everyone seems to be optimistic and positive. I ♥ it...I wish it was like this more often. Obviously not everyone is going to be upbeat all the time, lol, life has rough patches here and there, that's normal, and I'm not saying I never vent, because believe me, as I post my rants in blogs, I do as well on Facebook...but its always nice to read when things are going really really well, even if its something as simple as "I just got a coffee, and it was delicious and the service was great!" It may not seem like much, but that could be the start of a really good day, if you keep thinking positive from then on. Just my observation. *Smile*

How Awesome Is That!? *sarcasm*

Yesterday morning, my husband went out to the truck to go pick up the yard sale signs because it was raining, so we didn't have our second day of the yard sale...and what did her find? Some loser busted out the driver side window to steal a hundred dollar GPS...was it worth it? NO! Im not upset about the fact that they took the GPS, Im pissed that there are such heartless idiots out there that do things like this...and worse. Its not right, and I dont understand why, or what they are thinking.

After having our neighbor back into our apartment and bust the wall, and now this...I'm thinking its definitely time to move...this was a safe neighborhood, but now, I'm not so sure. I feel like with Kylie here and these things happening, we have been violated and I cant help but think what could happen. We are safe, and I'm so thankful for that, but these little things could become big problems. I hate people who steal and vandalize. Do you have any morals? What kind of person can do bad things and still sleep at night...and to see that there is a spot for a car seat...obviously this is a family...why would you do that?!

When we called to have the window replaced, the guy said, "Let me guess, someone broke in...Its been happening a lot around town." So its not just us...a lot of people are being violated and feeling uneasy. Life is not always fair, but I'm so glad that we are still safe...I hope the crime settles down soon...no one deserves to feel this way.

TIRED OF THE CLUTTER...NEAT STUFF FOR REALLY GOOD DEALS!

L♥ve L♥ve L♥ve

With my husband home, our daughter here...I'm on cloud 9. We are so proud of our little miracle. Matthew has been so wonderful...he is my hero...but even hero's need to catch some z's. While in labor with Kylie, he went 3 days running on only a few hours of sleep. He was bound and determined to do everything for me and Kylie. He wanted everything to be perfect, and for me not to have to worry. Finally, he is catching up, and we are getting back into a routine...slightly different routine, but none the less *wink*.

So, this is my world...so much love under this one little roof.

I'm s♥ lucky!

Oh My Goodness...

Its May 6th...

Hopefully today is the day...

if not, we hope to meet our beautiful creation

by the end of this weekend.

*Everyday is Husband Day*

...and ever, more than three inches! XoXoXo

Yes, Ill take one order of maturity and a side of common sense please...

OH MY F'ING GOD! You all remember that idiot neighbor we have that likes to throw loud ass parties at 2:30 in the morning...same guy just straight backed his freakin' truck into our apartment @ 4am this morning...shook the entire building...and scared the shit out of us. Matthew was getting ready for work downstairs and I was upstairs half asleep. He told me not to go outside, but I wanted to know what the hell was going on...the guy who actually lives there "said" (I quote that because I think he is full of it...he was probably the one driving drunk and to save his own ass he threw his friend under the bus...or truck [no punt intended]) that because he was drunk, he "let his buddy drive and he doesn't know how to drive for shit" but who backs a small truck into a building and that hard??? They literally CRACKED my wall...busted the corner of the outside stucco. REALLY!?!? I'm tired of immature adults being irresponsible...IT DOESN'T JUST AFFECT YOU ASS HOLES!!! Imagine how this world would run without people like that? So much smoother and happier, I'm sure. Mistakes are one thing, but this is just plain stupid. Thankfully no one was hurt, the damage done to our apartment is repairable...but you still cant help but throw out some "what if's" because things could have ended up a whole lot worse...and that just pisses me off. Probably should have called the cops, but I was still kinda half asleep and more worried that no one was hurt...now that I'm awake and looking at the damage they caused due to their arrogance...I'm livid!

To my daddy:

However old your getting...Gramps....LOL.

We love you and miss you! I hope you have a great birthday. *muah*

How WonDerFul is my husband...

♥ I didn't sleep very well this morning, woke up with a lot of pain in my left side and ribs...so it cut a couple hours off my good night sleep, so by the time I woke up, it was 8 o'clock. ♥

.

♥ When I got out of bed and came downstairs, I smelt food, thinking it was just the pot roast we planned for dinner, I got a bowl out of the cupboard to get cereal for breakfast when I finally realized, he was also making breakfast (Pancakes & Bacon). He is so amazing. ♥

.

♥ While cooking, he was on the phone with his parents (speakerphone) and I could hear them talking about our little girl. They are such proud grandparents...almost as proud as Matthew is to be a daddy *wink*. Anyway, then my mother in law asked if he was cooking, she said, "Chad and Scott cook meals, how come your dad doesn't cook for me? *laugh* You boys have some blessed women." I couldn't agree with her more. My in laws raised some great sons, and I'm so happy I snagged me a good one. Its rare to find, that's for sure...I must have done something good to deserve so much. ♥

Happy 4th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Jorja Lee!

My baby sister is growing up so fast!

Having my husband home....

...is the best feeling ever. I believe that a little time apart brings a man and woman closer...but 2 months (!?)...that was a little extreme *giggle*. However, now that its all said and done, I feel that even though we were already so close and happy together, we are that much closer and happier because we know how much we missed each other while we were apart. Not saying that I want this to happen on an annual basis, lol, but definitely not regretting where our lives have been taking us. We have gone through so much together already (not that I have to tell you if you have read prior blogs) and now we are having a baby girl. Its amazing. 4 years ago, if you told me that I would be marrying this man and starting a family with him, I would have giggled and said, that would be so cool, but I don't think I'm his type *sad face*. Now here I stand, Mrs. Griswold, soon to be a mother...wow! I love how that all sounds. He is the most amazing man I have ever met, and although some may say it, I don't know if most actually mean it...but I don't, for a second, take him for granted. I know what it feels like to have settled and not truly be happy. No, my past relationship was not abusive, it just wasn't happy and honest. With Matthew...100% purity! A girl just simply could not ask for more.

XoXo

1 More Wake Up!

So, tomorrow...TOTALLY GOING TO SAN DIEGO! Thats right, the time has finally arrived! If you havent been following, Im going down to San Diego tomorrow evening because Friday morning, my husband graduates the academy! I'm so proud of his achievements. He is so adorable, here I am proud of how hard he has worked to be able to provide for our family long term with this career move, and he doesn't even feel that accomplished. He said that he is proud to have his two best girls walk up on the stage to pin his badge on. He has been talking non-stop about me and our little Kylie girl. How adorable is that? He is so proud to be a father and husband...I'm so proud to be his wife and carry our daughter. HE IS AMAZING! Friday evening we will head home. I'm off the whole weekend so we get to spend quality time together. We don't know what hours he will be working, but it doesn't matter to me...he is coming home! I love you Sparky...and I'm soooo proud of you!

2 Days To Go!!!

Yeah, I'm super oober excited. In just 2 days, I will be down in San Diego. I'm going to stay the night with my husband on on Friday morning, he is going to GRADUATE! We will be home Friday night...and the academy will Officially be over! I get my husband back....AHHHHH!

Yesterday was my first day of training at work...I felt like I didn't accomplish much because it was a crazy day and they didn't really have a chance to teach me...hopefully today will be more productive for me. I don't like just sitting around feeling in the way or lazy.
