Accounting nightmare...

It has come to my attention that it's very possible that I am a little obsessed with money. The following reasons lead me and many others, that I meet with weekly to study, that I have a problem.

1). I work at a bank and play with money all day.
2). I critique people and what they spend money on all day, yet I have failed and failed again at any attempt to make any savings other than my retirement--which will do me no good if I am in a cash flow emergency!
3). My chosen profession will be accounting, in which I will make sure that the dollar amounts of some business are in check, and quite possible manage where the money is spent.
4). I have no shame in asking how much something cost, even to strangers.
5). I have spent a total of 12 hours this week working on an income statement to balance to $13.00- I am balancing to $41.00--I have taken on dreams of this.
6). I am always curious to how much money my boyfriend has...mainly for reasons to see if I can see a decline in a already small balance in hopes that he may have purchased a diamond for me.
7). I think this is all okay though. I don't put money as something important in life. It just consumes my waking hours.
8). Luckily, I don't need much to survive, just enough for lunch and gas:)

Disc Golf!!

So Chris is a huge fan of disc golf...aka glorified frisbee....But I finally agreed to join him in this "sport" so for Valentines day I received my very first disc. Today we went to the disc golf course with Travis and Robbie. Kristi will come next time hopefully!

Me and my Pro-disc golfer look...


Chris...He can pull it off a little better than me!


This is where we played! There were lots of people there today-I'm sure I scared them with my mad skills!


Chris and I warmed up before Travis and Robbie showed up, but we always have time for a quick photo moment!



This is Travis thinking about his shot...this is an important part, which I don't get..


Robbie and Travis discussing how amazing my shot was...


I am thinking that I need to take this more seriously.....


"FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


Coach is not proud of my game at this point...


Los Tres Amigos


And the end....I made it through 18 holes today!

Long Weekend!

Christopher and I decided to take a trip up to my parents house, drop Lilly off and use our gift card that Michelle and Luke got us for Christmas! Since I got Christopher in a nice shirt I made mom take pictures!


He likes to show off in front of mom...


Chris Was really excited that I let him get seafood....YUCK!



I was feeling artistic...


After lunch we went to his Grammie and Grandies 55th wedding party! Below is Kyle and Kyron. I took mostly pictures of Kyle and Amanda's kids:)


Me and Miss Presleigh!


Amanda and Kyron!


Miss P and Mr K

After the party we went to some farmer friends of Christopher. They own a dairy farm and I got to play with the cows!!!



This little brown one was my fave!!! She was the best cow ever<3>


Moo Moo...



The baby cows even sucked on your fingers...it was kind of gross, and I got to bottle feed them!!



From L to R: Christopher, Zach, John and Jordan


And as promised, I introduce to you, my hamsters:)



This weekend Lilly showed her true colors...a real live snuggler

The Fair!

Christopher and I went to the fair on Sunday! I had to beg him to take me, and he did! As we walked in we saw our favorite things to take pictures with!



Lucky for Chris there was a gorilla cut out, he makes the BEST gorilla noises ever!


There was a wildlife area with lots of exotic animals, you could even take a picture with a big ol' snake or a kitty, a wild one. Christopher wouldn't let me get my picture taken...surprise, surprise.



Owie....that would hurt.
We went on three rides! One being the farris wheel, I am scared of heights...hrm.

Aren't we cute? Kisses from the top of the wheel!

It was a rough day at the fair, that night I slept like a baby and I got Labor Day off so that was even better. Lilly tends to hog the bed when we sleep and Chris woke up before me, and much to my surprise took these pictures. I was wearing a shirt, it was just a tank top and doesn't look as if I am.


On Monday Lilly had a little at-home photo shoot. She's the cutest.



Chris bought her a new toy when I went and bought my hamsters (which will have to be blogged next weekend) She LOVES her new duck.

Our trip to the beach!







Christopher and I took an evening trip to Cannon Beach to see Brandon and Chels. Along the way Chris decided that he needed to stop and get something to drink (not worrying whether or not I was dying of thirst...interesting). We stopped at this ditch in the road market and there was this crazy Asian guy yelling on the phone, more than likely he was just talking, but Asians yell when they talk. Inside I found a hidden treasure...Fun Dip. Now I remember going to the store when I was little and getting them and I haven't seen them in FOREVER, very exciting.

It just happens to be that I don't eat much candy, and if you recall Fun Dips are mainly sugar....anywho I was hyper, and Christopher, well he went along with it.



At the hotel Brandon and Chels were staying at, there was this statue that we were told to locate the hotel by, Brandon claimed it to be a pirate, the people at the hotel agreed with Christopher and I, it's a captain of a boat....




The sunset was amazing!

Orange!

Eek!

Family


Bright

We saw lots of sea creatures....Chels and I went exploring...not with our boyfriends...what's wrong with that picture hm?

Chris thinks it's fun to ruffle my feathers...


And he thinks that saying, "I love you" and kissing me makes it better...hrm....

Chels and Brandon with the ROCK


The boys made a simple fire (hehe). It was going great until: Chris and Brandon felt the need to be macho and break large and wet logs to put on the fire...incase you were unaware of this, water and fire together do not make a larger fire.

Brandon and Chris were joking about taking a romantic walk on the beach. It actually happened. Neither Chris nor Brandon took a walk with us girls. Lame.

The sun set and we had tons of s'mores and oooie gooie goodness:) Chris and I drove home at about midnight. He kept falling asleep so I took over. Believe it or not he still tries to tell me how to drive while he's sleepy:)
