Monday

I'm back from our fantastic retreat in Michigan, with all of the coolest chicks in the scrappin' world! It was a great time, once again! I'm still a bit tired, mostly from the drive home but, I took the day off today to veg out. I also was able to go visit my kids at school, which I really wish that I could do more often. Another reminder of how much I miss being a stay at home Mom! Tomorrow, it's back to the grind. Ugh.

Beautiful Nala

It's been a while since I've blogged. I wanted to share a picture of my kitty but, had a hard time even looking at these, until now. This is one of the last photos taken of her. Brian took these before he took her to the Humane Shelter to have her put down. Even on her last day, she was still beautiful. Looking at this picture though, I can see it in her eyes that she really was done with fighting. I'm glad that we chose to do what we did. I miss her a whole lot but, I know that she's happy and healthy where ever she is at now.

Rest in peace, Nala

Football, scrappin' & sky concert fun

So far, it's been a busy but fun weekend! And, a super HOT one at that! Dakota's team won their game, 14 - 0. I've never seen the kid so excited about a sport!!! This is his first year playing and I think that he's done a great job, even though most of the kids have played for more than a year. Last night, we headed downtown for "Sky Concert", which is always fun! Funnel cakes, friends and fireworks. You just can't beat it!




And, today, I've been scrappin'! I still have lots of mojo so, hopefully after my Dad leaves, I'll be back to creatin'! Here are the 2 layouts that I finished today.

I'm a total slacker...

It's been 2 months since I've posted anything!!! Crap! Well, since my last post, let me list all of the happenings around the Stiner household:

1. Haleigh's 7th b-day
2. My sister's b-day
3. CHA Chicago baby!
4. My 32nd b-day
5. We've rescued a dog, only to have to take her to Animal Control
6. Dakota started football
7. School started and I now have a kid in the 5th grade and one in the 2nd grade
8. We've found out that our cat, Nala, has tumors throughout her body.
9. I've just celebrated my 1 year anniversary of working at Standard Locknut.
10. I lost my scrappin' mojo for over a month but, it made it's appearance over the weekend (thank you Carla)!

So, life's been a little crazy. I feel a bit overwhelmed at times with all that goes on but, I guess that it really isn't that bad. I do need to take more time to post on this dang thing! My next post will hopefully have some pictures of recent happenings!

Until next time...
