Update!!!

Okay, well I tend to babble on forever and I didnt think I had that much to update on but I really do soooo...I'm just going to bullet it! (GASP!) try at least! =)

  • I finally finally got a job! I work at the new Target that just opened up. Its the biggest in town! Its huge! Anyways I am on the Guest Services Team, which I love because I love talking and meeting new people. Target customers are the greatest!
  • I finally got my wisdom teeth out. I had been having trouble with them for months, and I just now got my insurance and things taken care so I could go. I love soups, but I was so tired of eating them. Mom came up here to stay with me the day of, well the day before she hurt her knee so she was on crutches. Of course, she didnt tell me any of this until she made the drive up here. She knew that if she told me I would have made her stay home! I felt bad for Eli because he was taking care of me and then he would help my mom up and down the stairs at our apartment! Anyway it turned out well! The week after surgery, I was so mean to Eli. He tried to take care of me and wait on me hand and foot and I was just so upset and hungry so I decided to take it out on everyone else. Anyways we quickly made up. Just last week, we went to Texas Roadhouse to eat because I was feeling alot better! He surprised me when he made me soft foods. He will be embarrassed I put it on here but he does sweet things so randomly I have to gush about it! =)
  • Labor Day weekend some of my family from Memphis, came to see all of us in Fort Smith, so Eli and I drove down there to visit with them! Uncle Bobby & Aunt Frances are my grandma's brother and sister-in-law, LeeAnn is their daughter, and Marley is the great-grand baby! She is absolutely adorable, and I just wanted to take her back to Oklahoma with me. I think she would have went too! I have alot of pictures but I will just put my favorites! She loved Eli's spaghetti, she was ready for a nap afterwards.
  • I went to Fort Smith because my mom and her friends were throwing a garage sale. I was so excited because I was putting in a brand new partician that Eli and I had bought for our apartment but it wouldnt stand on our kind of carpet so we never used it. I was sure someone would buy it! Its gorgeous, but no takers. I was also selling our bar stools since we didnt need them in our new place, they are in great condition, they are made of a heavy wood with nice backs on them. Once again, no takers. A girl I went to school with bought them though, so they are going to a good home. If you would like a partician, leave me a comment and I will post a picture! Its about 6 feet tall, black and dark red with wood frame, it has a chinese them to it, but I dont really see it, the flowers and artwork on it remind me of orchids! Its really pretty, I wish we had a place for it. We paid $100 for it, but we are asking $50-75 for it. Its been unfolded probably 3 times. For the past 2 years, its been leaning against a wall unused! Trust me, your getting a good deal!
  • Also while I was in town, I met up with Sam & Max and finally got to meet Aiden! He is just as precious too! I didnt get a good picture of him though. I will next week though!
  • Last but not least....WE ARE GETTING MARRIED! Eli and I have finally decided to choose a date and just do it! We have decided on November 27th, 2010. We really like the idea of a fall wedding, anyway you do it, it will always be beautiful. At first, we were going to go to Hot Springs, Arkansas and getting married outside at a Bed & Breakfast, The 1890 Williams House Inn. Which I think is gorgeous, homey, laid-back, and everything I'm looking for. The downside is we would have the reception when we got back, and not that many people would want to travel since its Thanksgiving weekend, even though its only 2 hours. So we have decided to just go ahead and get married at the church, it would be alot easier for people and my family. No location is absolutely official, so we will most likely change our minds by January. I just want a stressfree wedding with no drama coming from either sides of our family. (His grandparents, My aunt and uncles) So hopefully our day will go as planned and everyone will be happy. I have alot more to discuss about the wedding, but thats for a whole new post!
I hope everyone has a great weekend! My weekend will start Monday at 4pm. I'm going to Fort Smith for my birthday. Its Tuesday! =)

Until next time..

this weekend..

I am going to update with lots of pictures and news! Lots has happened since I really did an update.

The reason I havent done it sooner is because I have been soooo sick. I havent had the flu, just flu like symptoms. Saturday the doctor said I had an upper respiratory infection and gave me amoxicillion yet I still didnt feel any better yesterday so I went back last night and I saw a different doctor and she was actually more helpful and gave me a sinus x-ray and come to find out I have a severe sinus infection! and for some reason..im nauseous. We still cant figure that one out.

Anyway I start my new medicine tomorrow so this weekend I should be in tip top shape and ready to upload lots of pics!

and since I cant be in fort smith under my momma's care I'll leave you with a picture of us last time I was in town! =)

same things different day

We ended up not being able to go to fort smith last weekend. I did go to the dentist about my wisdom teeth and they are supposed to be taken out on the 12th. Cross your fingers! I'm ready to be painless. I finally got some pain pills today and just after one pill, I already feel 90% better! =) Aside from that, nothing new is going on. My mom is having a garage sale with the girls from her work so Eli and I will definitely be in the Fort for that. Whoo hoo!! Camera back and hopefully I will make some moolah!!<3

okay, its 8:01 and Grey's Anatomy is starting!!

Until next time!

Where has time gone!?

Wow, I cant even remember what all I have been up to since last time I blogged. I'll try to remember though! I know that we went to Fort Smith. We ended up not being able to see Morgann and Kevin. We visited with Eli's grandparents for awhile, and then headed over to see Max & Sam. Little Aiden is almost here!! This past weekend was the first weekend in months that I didnt go to any garage sales! Boo Hoo! =(
This coming Monday, We're heading to Fort Smith to meet up with my family and drop Gracie off at the vets, then we are heading to the Beautiful, Wonderful, Absolutely Amazing Hot Springs! I cant wait! Eli hasnt been, I told him to hang his head in shame! We'll more to update next week!!

I cant believe the weekend is already over!
Friday morning, I talked Eli into trying a different place to eat breakfast so he took me to Cracker Barrel! I had never been there for breakfast, when I lived in Fort Smith I had only been to the one in Alma for dinner. Anyways I was really excited, and the service ended up being horrible. She pretty much lost her tip before we even ordered our food. Neither one of us like grits and it said that you could substitute for something else, so we told her what we would like. She made substituting sound like such a big ordeal and had the nerve to say, why dont I just not bring the grits out with your order, you get enough food as it is! Can you believe that?! We were both just dumbfounded. On top of that, Eli's eggs werent even cooked all the way, they were even cold! Keep in mind, Eli doesnt like to cause scenes or take food back when its not his way so he asked the lady if she could bring him another order..I guess they just microwaved them because they were still cold in the middle. It was pretty disgusting. Even though the service was horrible, we still had fun looking at the gift shop! I wanted just about one of everything! I only walked out with candy sucker sticks, I couldnt resist =)
After that, we spent the afternoon going to the big flea market and to various thrift shops. We actually found a couple of good condition couches for only $75 we were so tempted to take them home with us but we dont have any room at the moment. We really cant get one until September, thats when we are moving to bigger and definitely better apartment! YAY!

Yesterday, we did our usual breakfast at Golden Corral. (Yes, it seems like all we do is eat, but I promise its only on the weekends =) ) Anyways after we left there, we ended up going to a couple of thrift stores and garage sales but didnt find anything, except another couch! =( After that, we came home so Eli could go to bed before work, he had been up for like 24 hours. Whoops!

Today was tiring day for some reason. I woke up at like 430 and ended up staying up till Eli got home at 6, he surprised me with breakfast at Tally's on Route 66..they have the best breakfast! We came home and slept for a while, then hung around the house for a bit. Ended up going to this place called Panchos. It was pretty good. It was really authentic food. I didnt feel too good when we left there so I came home and layed down and decided to read for a bit, well I ended up going to sleep for a few hours. I was half asleep when Eli left for work. I dont know why I am so tired.

I left my school book in the truck, so I cant study tonight even though I have a test so looks like I will be studying on the way tomorrow. I have some good news/bad news, I have mixed feelings about it. This will be our last Monday/Tuesday to work on moving stuff out of the Tahlequah apartment. Tomorrow we're getting things and Tuesday we're cleaning it, Thursday we're paying the last of the rent we owe and turning in our keys! I'm glad to be rid of the apartment and dealing with moving stuff out of there and having to pay for 2 apartments but I am sad because I drive by it everytime I go to school considering its 2 blocks away and it was our FIRST apartment as a couple. I'm so sentimental sometimes.

We're heading to the fort Monday night and Tuesday night. I'm going to finally get to meet Ethan Cole Kiene! Ive seen pictures but I have a feeling they wont do him justice! We are also going to see one of Eli's best friends from home. Max, his fiance Sam is having a little boy in a couple of weeks. Babies are everywhere! They have decided on the name Aiden. They just got themselves a house so we are going to go see it and maybe grill out over there.

Until next time!


This was a pyramid of bowling balls we saw at the flea market!

I forgot to mention that we also snuck in some Birthday Cake W/Sprinkles at Marble Slab. Yummy!!!
