Crazy Days!

We're having Crazy Days here in Warren today. Emma and I went to man the tables at the Coffeeshop to help out. It was kind of fun to see alot of ladies, and to enjoy a little bit of the morning sun. It was a little too hot by the time 11am came along, but that was okay because we were done working by then. She paid me 20bucks for my time so I think that was worth it. :)
Went to the farm again last weekend, they had their fair so we made it there by 8pm, I had to wait for Ryan who had to drive to Minot for the day. Needless to say he was exhausted by the time he got home, but we still went. My new Sis-in-law, Jessica and bro-in-law were in Roseau for his 10 year reunion and we threw them a pie reception at the same time, so that was nice. It was fun to be with family, their family has pretty much doubled in the past 4 years. Only 1 sister left to be married out of 7, she's not seeing anyone right now but their is a possibilty so we are praying with her about it.
I started weight watchers a few weeks ago, and I hate it but I'm trying really hard so I can look a little better when we take our trip this coming Christmas. Anyone have any good ideas of where to go? We looked into Hawaii but I don't think we can afford that one. We've also looked into SanDiego, anyone been there?? If you have any suggestions we are looking for anywhere with a beach - and Rhonda I don't think we can make it to Madegascar :) (would love to come a say hello though) Anyway about weight watchers I have really enjoyed meeting other community women and like I said I have only started a few weeks ago, and I lost 4 pounds when I weighed in on Monday. I think that is a pretty good start, i'm not going to complain I wish it was more loss, but that's pretty good with 2 fairs, a trip to Fargo, and a pie social. i hope I can lose more in a couple weeks. If you're wondering its kind of like 3D minus the devotions and praying, but Laura Mast and I have committed to praying for each other, I think that is why I'm doing so well.
WEll I have to cut this off Emma just woke up from her nap, she's probably hungry. Love to hear from anyone. HI Robbie, and RHonda, Jenni, and Rachel, maybe Iris too, don't know . TTYL, Mel

go go go

right now we are going going going.
I don't mind, I think its better then sitting here in our little apartment, or evening walking around a town where I know very few people. They don't offer much here in warren so I don't feel too involved with anything, or connected to anyone, I think I'm getting lonely. Emma is such a darling, but I miss fun interaction.
We had a good week last week went to Fargo got to stay at the Ramada hotel, did some serious shopping (Okay only at old Navy) We got some good deals on kids clothes and Emma is set for next summer (50% off clearance, plus 20% off - most everything for a Dollar :) good deal :) )
Went to Roseau for the weekend and were able to spend some good time with the family. What a great time. Went to the fair one night and we were there till midnight, whewww! Emma stayed up that whole time too, what a goofy girl. We are heading up to Graceton to visit with Elise and Derek, Jeff, Wendy and kids next weekend, that should be a fun time.
Okay dokey love to hear from everyone :)

This is still new :)

This is still pretty new to me, but I'll keep at it.
Went to church this morning had prayer time before the service, it was good to be part of that. I was ready before Alma this morning, which never happens. After church we had a garden meal, in the basement in support of our team going to the Ukraine this week. They are planning to do day camps with the kids over the weekend and a Marriage seminar somewhere in there too, they will be there for 6 days.
This afternoon we are just hanging out together as a family. Ryan worked this morning at the dairy farm and slept some this afternoon. Emma on the other hand, slept only an hour and is still very tired but won't go to sleep. I'm not sure what to do about that, so Ryan is sitting with her and looking at the photo albums, she seems interested in that. She is becoming a momma's baby and won't sit with him very long.
We will be gone most of this week, so I'll try to write when I can. We are going to Fargo for couple of days and then up to the farm for the weekend. Ryan has work in Fargo and I get to tag along and shop (well window show anyway).
I've been doing well okay on the weight watchers bit, but I don't enjoy it, I wish I could eat whatever I want when ever I want. ( I have a feeling I'm not the only one who wishes that)
Okay Dokey I should be going. Thanks for stopping in.

Another day another dollar

okay what the title has to do with anything I don't know hehe, just thought it sounded like a good title.
Its been over a week I think since I wrote something and I guess I haven't spent the time to figure out how it all works so I'm finally back again to fill it in.
This week was soo hot here, out side that is, its beautiful here in the apartment (yay central air!)
Went to Grand Forks this week to go shopping, took my neighbor lady (Alma - she's 75, widowed, and loves Emma) with me. She goes to our church and we just love her, she's a sweetheart! Anyway didn't find much but I got groceries and Alma was able to get some things that she needed, it was nice to have some company. Ryan had to do an over night trip this week so I was left home with Emmy. I don't like being left alone, but I guess you girls know what that's like. That night Emma slept terrible, she was up at least 3 times, but at least the night before she actually slept threw the night. This week I actually joined weight watchers its no fun having to watch your points but I'm determined this...well week anyway. I hope I can lose some weight before we go on our trip I'm hoping that will be some of my motivation. I could sure use some prayer in this area! thanks.
This weekend Ryan had to do chores on the dairy farm, so tonight Emma and I went to help, I carried her on my back and she was great! She loves the cows.
Any hoo, I should be going I need to put my little girl to bed. Love to see what you all are doing. Thanks for all the welcome comments I will try harder this week.

I'm a new blogger!

Okay just to leave a comment on someone else's blog I need to sign up, what's with that. Now I have two pages to fill out. I was terrrible with one, I make no promises with this one. Beautiful hot sunny day here, around the 83 degree area, and I'm sitting in my wonderfully air conditioned apartment - mmmm!
Okay dokey love to hear from you.
