October ! !

YEAH love this month. While I enjoy the lazy days of summer, it is always nice to get back to the routine of life. Back to school, back to schedules. I am an organizational nut so I thrive in the routine of life. I try to be more of a free spirit LOL but I can only stand it for so long hah

I even enjoy the darker nights. Something about coming home from work closing the shades and just snuggling in - great feeling.

Just purchased my favorite Yankee candle Macintosh. Heading this weekend to our local Plant store - have to get some colorful mums.

Even my sweet doggie Solomon seems to be in such a good mood.
He has so much energy with the cooler air. He has been running and jumping like a puppy again. Of course, being 12 he poops himself out rather quickly hah

Thank you Lord for the gift of the seasons . . . blessed FALL !

Crazy End of Month Days

Crazy day. So busy at work. You know the end of the month, end of the quarter rush. hah One more day and the new month begins and I can take a sigh of relief. October too! My favorite month. For one it is my birthday month and also my anniversary month. Plus we are going on vacation to Texas in October. Much to look forward too.

Oh my! My little doggie Solomon is very mad at me right now. He is barking and barking. He doesn't understand we can't have dinner until his chicken finishes cooking. hah How do you tell a dog to be patient?

Went to my chiropractor today. Oh what a blessing that is. Helps all those sore muscles from sitting at the desk all day. Does anyone else love the chiropractor?

Well, better run, my Solomon's chicken is almost done . . . Lord know's he doesn't want to wait a minute longer. . . :)

Cooler Days and Changing Trees

Fall is here ! Oh how I love this time of years. Pumpkins, mums, apples, hayrides. Cool nights to sleep. God is awesome for giving us the change of seasons. Just when you are tired of a season a new one comes along.

I haven't blogged in a really, really long time. Not really sure what I am doing. hah

I am heading to my second anniversary, can't believe these two years have just flown by. My husband is doing great and is a huge blessing. He surprised me with flowers yesterday. I just love when he does that.

My sweet doggie Solomon turned 12 this summer. He is getting a little feeble and it is to hard to see. He seems to be having a little stiffness in his hips. Now I baby him even more than before hah

I'm am going to try to stay more on top of my blog because I do really enjoy journaling.

Snow Day

NJ got hit with 10 inches of snow today. Called my job and they said they were open. I drove 1/2 hour to work and guess what? They closed. YIKES So I am excited I get an extra day home. Hubby had to go in. First day of new boss, he knew he had better come into work. :) We are both so thankful to have jobs that you can't let a little snow stop you. The snow is so pretty shining in the trees. It sure will make Spring that much more delightful.

I found a great "easy" recipe for carrot cake. I am going to "attempt" to bake one on Saturday. We are visiting some friends on Sunday and it is their favorite cake. Step by step, little by little, this new wife will conquer the kitchen !

Have a blessed day in the Lord . . .

Finally Friday

So glad it is Friday. Had a hard week. Work was very busy. Not complaining, I am so thankful to have a job. I know so many folks are struggling. We are expecting rain, snow, sleet this weekend. Sounds like a good one to snuggle in and enjoy some home time. I am looking forward to Spring but looks like Mr. Winter wants to hang on just a bit more. That's okay it will make Spring that much sweeter. My doggie Solomon is really enjoying his new bed. He is not longer able to sleep with me and my new hubby. He tends to snap and nip if you accidentally touch him in his sleep. I am use to it after 11 1/2 years with him but my hubby isn't. Don't want him to get nipped by Sollie. hah So, we won a great big new bed on ebay for him. He actually loves it. Which was a real relief. I wasn't sure if he would take to a bed at his age. Have a wonderful weekend !

The Beginning

This is my first blog posting. Not sure what I am going to write.
I had a wonderful day today. Visited my Mom for her birthday.
She gave my husband a gift card of his birthday to his favorite
Italian restaurant. Aren't I blessed as I get to go too!

I have to bake a cake tonight for my churches bake sale. I enjoy baking even though I am very new at baking and cooking. I have to say it does intimidate me. God has blessed me with a husband who loves to cook.
Isn't God amazing. Takes care of everything.

Better run time for dinner . . . hum what did the hubby cook ?
