My 1st sewing project (all by myself ... well with a little help from mom)

So mom has been teaching me how to sew...... well we started a dress a few months ago and just finished it this weekend. It's really cute and came out pretty dang good. I'll have to take a picture of mom in it and upload it. Anywho, I decided I wanted to make something all on my own. A NOOK slip COVER!!!!

Murad Journey.....road to smoooooooth skin! (Lord I hope)

Another journey I am traveling on is what I'm calling the "Murad Jouney". 

I have struggled with acne since I was younger. A precious new friend (Danae) told me about

this product/line called Murad. It helps with adult acne and ageing due to 

everyday adult stress and hormones. Well it sounded like a miracle in a bottle to me.

Right now with money being tight I am only able to use a few of the products. 

The daily vitamins (4 a day), the cleanser (2 times a day), & the toner(2 times a day).

I believe I noticed my face looking better after 2 weeks but nothing too fantastic.

Don't get me wrong I am still extremely excited about the product and am sticking to it....

It's just I know it would work even better if I had the acne spot treatment cream grrr but it's like $60 at ulta! WOW nope can't risk paying that and it maybe or maybe not work, ya know!?!

I have been on this journey for one month now. I do think if I continue to use it my face will improve.

medical insurance....half a CHECK mark

Monday 8/8/2011 was a pretty exciting day in the Hoyt House!

 Here is a cute picture of Johnny about to leave for.... 

his NEW JOB!!!!!

Soon the *Medical Insurance/Retirement line will be marked off THE list. 

He has a little bit before it goes into effect of course because to hurry and get him hired they said it's a "temp" job until the next project starts. On this next project he will be trained to be the foreman and run the whole crew. So he's hoping in the next month he'll be permanent and be moving up fast. 

I told Jon and Big David, "y'all better slow down on this goal list" lol. I guess the man up stairs has bigger plans then I'd hoped for.  :)

&

I MISS YOU ALLEY! 

soon there will be check marks everywhere!!!

SO as most of you know I DO NOT want children of my own. This caused a huge argument between me and Jon boy..... needless to say if I didn't give in then there would be no more 2 peas in a really small pod... 

So I begin to pray and say Lord if Jon and I are suppose to have a child I'm gonna need some help in the "want" department. I already know that we would be great parents. With all this being said I went to Jon 2 weeks ago and said if you are serious about children then there are a couple of things we need to get done/have before we even TRY to get pregnant. So we made THE list.  Drum role.... 

The list continues on the back of the page because of course I'm racking my brain to drag this out as long as possible haha. SO one thing is checked off our list ALREADY. Insulation is checked off woop woop. I told Jon you better slow down. :)  There is another one half way checked as well.... I will post about that tomorrow.
