Hello 2010

OK, so I know it is a little late to talk about New Year's Resolutions but I am a little behind. I still can't believe it is 2010, it feels like yesterday everyone was freaking out about 2000.

Here are my resolutions:

1. Exercise more-I usually walk the dogs every night but I don't during the winter. I need to find a workout I can do indoors.

2. Go to Church More- I was raised going to church every Sunday and now that I have gotten older it has become harder. This year I want Clark and I to find a church we love so our faith can grow stronger in the Lord and in each other.

3. Save Money- So being a college student makes you really poor. I am so ready to have a steady income. I do get some money from my parents each month, but definitely could not live off of it. I am still looking for a job so I can start saving for my wedding and future.

4. Be the best Fiancé- OK so I know no one is perfect but being engaged is hard and I know being married is harder. Don't get me wrong I love being engaged and knowing that I get to spend the rest of my life with Clark, but making decisions we both agree on does not come easy. I have found a man that loves me unconditionally and would give me the world if he could, so he deserves all of that and more from me!

Those are my resolutions and I hope that I can stick to them. I miss when you were younger and all you wished for was to be nicer to your sister....ha!

A Little Behind

I am a little behind on blogging but I have been gone for about a week on vacations. First off before Christmas Clark and I went over to the Winston's house (Clark's friends from high school). They had some couples over for dinner and we always have fun with them. I was in charge of the dessert and I decided to make Red Velvet Cookies (Thanks to Bakerella). They turned out really good and they are super easy to make.

Mix one box of red velvet cake mix and 1/2 cup of butter.

It becomes very thick like cookie batter.

Once it is all mixed drop spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes.

Bakerella gives you a recipe to make your own cream cheese icing but I cheated and store bought mine. This is the finished product and I will definitely be making them again!!

Wedding Colors!!

So I know my wedding as a ways off but I decided on my colors, I am so excited!! Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to carry red roses and they go perfectly with the other colors.

I have a picture of my wedding dress but I am going to keep it a secret till the wedding!!

Cookie Christmas Tree

Clark's mom gave us a cookie tree kit to make. So the other night Clark and I decided to make it. It turned out really cool but I would definitely NOT eat the cookies.

It comes with:

Already made gingerbread cookies (which I wouldnt eat)

Green & White Icing (just add hot water)

Fruity candy balls (for the lights)

& Candy presents for under the tree

It would be a fun project to make with kids. Since I dont recommend eating it, it does create for decorating.

Here is our finished project!

So Funny

My mom sent me this today at it was so funny!!

I'm Back!

Well i have not blogged in a long time and since I am going to be a wife soon, I thought I would start back up. Instead of updating you on my life since then, I will just tell you the important part. IM ENGAGED!!!

I am so freaking excited.

oh, and also I am going to be an AUNT!!
My lovely sister Lindsey, at The Wynn's Word is having a baby!!

We are not getting married till May 21, 2011 because we want to wait till I graduate college and he finishes his masters. I cant wait for the big day!!

P.S. I am going to throw my sister a baby shower. Does anyone have any good ideas or tips???

So Long Tech!

So it is finally here...I'M MOVING HOME!! We'll actually on Saturday, but only 2 more days. My summer school class is over tomorrow....thank goodness!! Then Saturday afternoon when my parents get here we are loading me up and heading back to good ole Denton. I am so excited cause I have been in Lubbock for the past 3 weeks all by myself. Clark took his job again back at Fossil so he left in the beginning of June. Now I get to be with my family and Clark!!

I start summer session II in July at TWU. That will be my first class there, I hope it goes well. I'm a little sad that I am leaving Tech. I will miss the spirit and friends, but I will be back plenty of times to visit. I'm still a Red Raider at heart though!!!

On a side note...Clark's family and my family are going through a rough time right now. Please pray for my grandmother. Yesterday they found out she has a stomach aneurysm. She went to the doctor again today for medication to hopefully kill it and to monitor her for several weeks. Lets just pray that it doesn't burst before they take it out.

Also please pray for Clark's Aunt Terri. She was rushed to the hospital yesterday with bleeding in her brain. They believe it was from high blood pressure. They have ruled out most of the bad stuff and seems to be doing better.

Both of these ladies are strong women that need your prayers!!
