Celebrating...

Boy, it's been a long time. I have been so busy studying and soon, we will be moving and the combined effect of those two items along with a full-time job and life responsibilities...well, you know how it goes, the less necessary things take a back-burner...I do have quite a bit of things stored away to share on here...whenever I get a chance! Hopefully soon, as this Tuesday will be my last CPA test IF I pass, which I sure hope I do!!!! I have put a lot of time and prayers into the entire CPA testing experience and would be SO grateful if I can conquer and be done. I actually like learning, but the whole balance life and full-time studying is kindof just tough.

Anyways, this card today is back from a month and half ago or more for one of my co-workers who celebrated a birthday... And of course the matching envelope...

There was another co-worker with a birthday close by and we celebrated them together...someone had gotten her a storebought card, but I "embellished" the front of her envelope too to match! Ha...reminds me of my highschool days when I "matched" all my clothes, socks, undergarments, purses, and hair accessories. Oh, those good ol' carefree days when I had all that TIME!

Hope you have a great weekend! See ya (hopefully) soon!

Taylor's 4th Birthday

Taylor-Bug turned four at the beginning of October...it is hard for my mind to reconcile myself to the fact that she is FOUR...crazy to think about, really...but true. She had her party at Pump-It-Up and had a BLAST... Got toooons of presents...

Sat on a giant inflated throne and had an inflated crown and scepter!

She held up all her presents like this so we could take pictures...it was SO adorable...also, I want my attempt to meet her requirements for a birthday shirt...she wanted it to have a "crown and say 'birthday girl' on it" - she knows what she wants!

This little booger was being very sweet & loving at the beginning of the party.. The board at Pump-It-Up for Taylor's birthday...

Isn't Melissa's shirt so cute & girly?!

The birthday girl with her cousin...

The party room...

Princess Taylor sure is getting grown up! It makes Auntie Amber a little sad, but happy that she is still such a helpful, sweet girl and that she still loves giving good hugs and yummy kisses!

Cupcakes!

So, this is not the best picture in the world, but it's representative of some realllllly fun news - our local town now has a cupcake shop...and while I haven't personally visited I have had some delicious cupcakes courtesy of my co-workers...carrot cake is one of my favorite flavors...yum! Hope you have a "sweet" day! Amber
