So I’ve decided I am cutting sugar. not like no sugar ever…but just not going to the store just to get ice cream, candy or soda. Everything has sugar in it pretty much for preservative reasons and some flavoring like in spaghetti sauce and those things. My co worker lost 6 pounds in one week from just cutting caffeine and I don’t drink very much of that so I though I would cut sugar and see how much I lose. We shall see…
Hot Dogs….the Kosher one’s. August 1, 2009
Well I have been really mowing down on the hot dogs lately….every meal time I want hot dogs. I got home from the wedding today and my thought process was ” I want to get married! (tear), I guess I’ll just have a hot dog!”. I know, weird. Oh well at least Sherri appreciates my love for hot dogs and at least indulges(not the word i’m looking for…but you’ll get the idea) me and my love for hot dogs with talking to me about them! She even sent me a hot dog on Yoville! It really made my night! Thank you! 
“why do you like hot dogs so much Maureen?” You ask.
Well, I just do. As I explained it to Sherri and Becky on Thursday, I just love the bun, and the hot dog, the mayonaise on the bun and how the mustard just makes your lips burn! MMMmmm….You must be thinking “what is Adam getting himself into?!” I’m just a REAL hot dog lover! and by real I mean not the parts hot dogs, but the kosher ones! Like this!
Doesn’t that just look great!? well it does to moi!
Enough about hot dogs. on to not such tasty things…..but jobs…which provide the $ for hot dogs.
Adam was recently hired for a job in Olympia doing computer networking…which is what he is GREAT at! I am starting part time/more hours/more permanent then not schedule at techline. Adam’s job will be moving up to a full time position and at that point He is planning on moving to Olympia to be close to work so he won’t have commute. Jobs make life much easier. Darn this growing up thing!
ok well it is late…sorta. and I must be up in 8 hours to get ready for church! hasta!
P.s One of the things I loved about Ben and Brittney’s wedding was they we’re pronounced man and wife, took communion, signed papers, and then kissed. I thought that was really cool. I also really enjoyed Melina’s singing. I might just have to talk to her about a wedding… Night!
Yes July 14, 2009
We are postponing the wedding…again. stupid. i’m frustrated but I know it’s all in gods timing. it will happen when the timing is right for Adam and I to start our lives.
Recently Adam had an interview in Olympia for a tech job and he got it! it starts out part time but will be going to full time in the next couple of months. so after the wedding we most likely will be moving to oly! i’m excited! we get to start our lives in a more exciting place then aberdeen.
My whole family on my dads side is coming up to washington for a “family reunion” and that is in about a week! I’m really excited! My brother will be here! it’s been 2 years since i’ve seen him! I miss him a lot! I was given the task of baking for all of the family, so i’m going to be getting lots of practice. I love baking.
Today I got to spend like four hours with my friend michaela, I haven’t seen her in so long! it was really nice to catch up and learn a few things that I wasn’t aware of. it’s nice to have someone tell you the truth about things… not that my friends don’t but other people don’t. I had a coffee while we were talking and I really am strung out on the caffeine…I feel like I need to go for a run or something. ah! oh well.
well nothing else is going on right now.. ta ta for now!
Well…there is absolutely nothing going on June 14, 2009
like the title says…nothing going on. I’ve been working a lot at techline, we painted my entire house….which has been quite the task. that’s about it. Do you ever feel alone even when you are surrounded with people? Well I guess that is the best way to describe how i’ve been feeling this last little while, and I guess my dad picked up on it. Yessterday I called him and he said I sounded sad…but i wasn’t feeling any more sad then usual. Well he decided to drop me off a little suprise while I took a drive into town. and here’s the suprise…..
Aren’t they pretty?! it was a nice suprise. I love my daddy! He is so nice.:)
Today I went to brittany’s wedding shower, it was a lot of fun and i’ve really glad she liked my present. I am very thankful for the friends I gained in this last year, and of course the one’s I have had for many years.
Lately I have felt like god has been telling me I need to be involved in the church somehow, like the behind the scenes stuff,not just going to church. All of my family( or soon to be family, it seems like they already are. ) is involved somehow except me. Maybe i’m just feeling left out? I’m not sure. lol
I took a few pictures of a gorgeous sunset the other night with my camera, buti haven’t been able to upload them since the other computer is not hooked up still from painting.
Well until next time! C’est la vie!
I have decideded. May 11, 2009

Recently has been full but dull… haha! March 2, 2009
Well Lately there has been a lot going on, I think. well I think just mostly working….so it seems like a lot more then there really is.
I don’t even know where to start.
Well Adam got laid off from the school district at the end of january, and was unemployed until about a week ago (the end of february) when the school district hired him back for a while….we’re still praying for employment….and by that i mean permanent employment. I have been working at techline for a few weeks part time while one of their current employees is out for surgery. Thank god for that! that money will keep us going for a little while.
We’ve been spending lots of time with chase and becca! I don’t know how many times i can say this, “i’m so glad we are friends!”. it’s super nice just to have people we can hang out with and be ourselves and just be comfortable all together. a few weeks ago we went to olympia with them and went to dinner and a few other places. the next day the four of us went to the westport beach. it was cold and windy but what else could I expect?
After the beach we went to totem poll drive thru and got milkshakes! yum!
I forgot something that we did previously. we went to my dad’s girlfriend Helen’s Daughters play at school! Robin Hood and his merry friends! it was cute even if we couldn’t understand what they were saying!
Kelsey is in the middle of the picture.
see! that’s her! she’s so adoreable!
In between working i’ve been playing settlers a lot! I love it! i’m trying to get better so i can beat chase and becca. ok…so don’t laugh…. i’ve been playing it online!!! it’s amazing! haha!
Wedding plans are going well. well i should say they are going. I have the invitations all cut and folded…with the imense help from Anita and Teri. Thank you so much! in a few days we’ll be printing the insides and the pictures! i’m super excited to get them done so i can work on other things!
Oh, Adam wanted me to add this to my next blog! last night adam saw a taco bell commercial for cheesy fiesta potatoes and we HAD to go get some instantly! so we did! along with some other stuff! he had me take a picture to prove it! i love TB!!!! taco bell….not taberculosis. lol haha!
Excuse the quality… I toook it with my phone because i didn’t take my purse with us that had the camera in it! ok well that’s what has been going on that I can remember! later! Loves!1
