Tacky Christmas Sweater Party

Last Saturday I went to a Tacky Christmas Sweater Party with some old friends, here are some pictures below!





~Special Thanks to Melissa who let me borrow her amazingly tacky sweater :)

Quilts...

Here are two pictures of a sports quilt mom and I made for a lady at church. It only took us 5 hours on saturday night and about 5 hours sunday morning!





This is a King size T-shirt quilt we are making. It still needs to be quilted and binding, but the top is very pretty!

Rest in Peace Grandpa Crawford

My Grandpa Crawford Passed away Wednesday morning at 1:38 a.m. He had a stroke about 2 months ago and hasn't improved. Dad and I went to see him in Arkansas at the hospital a month ago and he was paralyzed all along his left side, had a trachea in, and said part of his brain had died. He just slowly went down hill. We knew this day would come, and Tuesday they called in all the family because he was breathing very heavily. They gave him morhphine to ease his pain and we all just waited for him to go to Heaven.

This was the last picture of him with my grandma I have from July of 2008:

New Job Status

I just finished my second week at my new job and its starting to get better. I just like having a routine and knowing what I should be doing. I've got payroll down, and next week they are going to start me learning all the finances :/

More Flowers

My flowers I recently recieved from Will, I don't see him very often but these sure do brighten my day...

New job thoughts...

So I started my new job yesterday. I am not so sure about it yet. I sat through an orientation on the computer and they expect me to know everything?! and then today I have to file stuff that has never been filed and has been sitting on the desk at least a few weeks. Did I mention I HATE FILING. It is the worst. I didn't even get through today. Maybe its the getting up early lack of sleep, 12 hour days, not sure. I know I just have to perservere through the next few months and I need the experience but right now by body is fighting against all of the "right" things I should do. I am hormonal, cranky, exhausted, hungry, aggitated etc.

Guess what just came in the mail today....

MY DIPLOMA! I am officially completely done :) ahh so nice.
