Long blog post....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello All!<br />
<br />
Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving.<br />
<b><br />WARNING: I am going on a rant. :)</b><br />
To be honest...every year I hate Thanksgiving to an extent.<br />
<br />
This year I realized that I need to get over it....there are worst things in life.<br />
<br />
I would always get so worked up over Thanksgiving because I had to go to sooooo many places and there just wasn't enough time in the day. It would literally bother me for like 3-4 days before Thanksgiving even got here because I would be trying to figure out a way to make our families/ourselves happy. Every year I try to find out a way so that we can be with both/all of our families on Thanksgiving because Lord knows we have to cram it all in on one day....I am not bitter....no....not at all.<br />
<br />
Coming from divorced families makes it hard and then you have to throw in the in-laws. So now it gets tricky. Well....this year we made it work. We spent 2 hours at each family member's house (Mom's side, Dad's side, Step-dad's side, and Andrew's side).<br />
<br />
Now don't get me wrong...I love the fact that I get to eat at all of these places but it just stinks because I don't get to spend that much time with each family.<br />
<br />
It didn't really hit me until a couple days later that I was being so incredibly selfish about this. All I was worried about was not seeing my family for longer periods of time when there are people out there starving, they have no families, people that can't be with their families, people that are dying, etc. I seriously wanted to punch myself in the face for being so selfish.<br />
<br />
I realized that I am so incredibly blessed and lucky to have such a wonderful life and such amazing family and friends. I shouldn't take each day for granted....there are some people out there just fighting for another day. Like...<a href="http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/isaacsteiner/photos" target="_blank">Isaac</a>. <br />
<br />
I came across Isaac's story from reading Erin's blog-<a href="http://www.livinginyellow.com/2012/11/a-call-for-help.html" target="_blank">Living in Yellow</a><br />
It really made me stop and think how lucky I am. How blessed I am. I am so thankful.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know I just got really deep but I just wanted to talk/discuss what was on my mind. Isn't that is what a blog is about anyways?!?<br />
<br />
On to my weekend/Turkey day:<br />
<br />
<b>Thursday/Thanksgiving</b>: See above...haha! No but really....Thanksgiving with my family is amazing and everyone puts out such a great spread so I never go home hungry.<br />

<b>Friday</b>: (DAY) Let me tell you I was so excited for Friday to get here because I got to put up my Christmas tree! This is the first time that I actually got to decorate our tree/house so I couldn't wait. Last year, all we had was a little tree and our tiny apartment. This year was legit! I went crazy. Turned on Christmas music, baked chocolate chip cookies, and put Christmas decor up everywhere!!! It was AWESOME! <br />
(NIGHT) We had (another) Thanksgiving at my Mom's house. So again....I had to eat a ton but it was so good. Especially the chocolate cake my step-dad made. :)<br />

<b>Saturday</b>: Noah's Birthday Party! Em, Nick, Andrew, and I traveled to Percy, IL for little brother's birthday party and it was a blast. Noah told our step-mom that he wanted a Taco Bar party so that is what she did. Best idea ever!! It was delicious.<br />

<b>Friday: </b>The annual Red Bud lighted parade. I was in the parade for my mom and her business, Design Fitness. We had T-shirts made and everything. However, little did we know how many people to expect. We totally underestimated it and ran out of beads by the time we were half way through. Oh well! It was a great time!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday night we went out to eat at Skootr's in Sparta, IL with our friends Ryan and Nicolette. We love hanging out with them and their adorable kid, Kellan! Can't wait for Baby #2 to arrive in two weeks also! We ended the night with some blizzards from DQ.</div>

<div align="center">
I am 23 years old and currently a substitute teacher. I graduated last December<br />
with a degree in Elementary Education.<br />
<br />
I am <b>extremely outgoing</b> and love being around people. I am trying to be more of
<br />
a crafty Cathy and<b> DIY</b> my little apartment all up. I love having a good time<br />
which includes a night out with the ladies or a glass <span style="font-size: x-small;">(or two)</span> of wine on<br />
the couch watching reality tv... Real Housewives, duh.<br />

My mom & Dad<br />
<br />
I don't have smart phone. I am still <i><b>hanging out in the 1200's</b></i><br />
and cannot instagram, receive picture messages or get on facebook.<br />
<br />
<i>My favorite season is Spring</i>. I love everything about the weather getting a little<br />
warmer. Pastels, flowers blooming and of course that much closer to summer.<br />
<br />
I cannot get enough of E-cards.<br />
here are a few favorites..<br />

So, excited for the weekend even though we don't really have anything planned.</div>

I am getting my hair colored tomorrow though...kinda excited for that. </div>

<br />
<b>I confess</b> I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my family! Last night, we all went to The Barrens winery in Perryville, MO and we had a wonderful time! Here are some pics.<br />

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope everyone had an awesome weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why are they never long enough?!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what my weekend consisted of:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3fRuYZPFZC-6eMLFG-7pmhPC5gj6CzsoSYIb7TK_7oTjD70IY3uj-uD0_ZGDg02nlDGYdtvM8ppBpP6vk_gSZoR7LJdDzG4F5kTJ-5ZZp1rL4_Yy0SnFjakfECSDkJMp1onlPrMNaesFL/s1600/weekend_update.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3fRuYZPFZC-6eMLFG-7pmhPC5gj6CzsoSYIb7TK_7oTjD70IY3uj-uD0_ZGDg02nlDGYdtvM8ppBpP6vk_gSZoR7LJdDzG4F5kTJ-5ZZp1rL4_Yy0SnFjakfECSDkJMp1onlPrMNaesFL/s1600/weekend_update.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday: I studied all day until about 5 and then the hubs and I headed over to my mom's house for supper. It was delicious!! We had Pasta con Broccoli with hot rolls and a salad. YUM-O!!! Emily and Nick came home to, which was great, and Emily had made a pumpkin dessert from the night before which was the BOMB!! The dessert did not disappoint. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Click on the picture above for the recipe. Soooooooo good!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
**Also note that my sis mixed yellow cake mix with pumpkin filing instead of just the devil's food cake but this is the closest recipe that I could find. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we got home from my mom and dad's, Andrew decided to go uptown to my mother's workout place and run on the treadmill while I decided to stay home and watch a movie....this sentence in general just makes me laugh. Yes, I know....pretty pathetic. I totally should have worked out because the movie was HORRIBLE!! I watched "The Cabin in the Woods" and it was awful. Take my word for it and do not rent it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday: Andrew and I worked on the next room in the house and got everything taped off and torn down so that it would be ready to paint. After we finished with the room, Andrew worked on the attic some more while I studied and then around 3:30 we left for Dane and Haley's wedding at the World Shooting Complex in Sparta, IL.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wedding was beautiful and they had such wonderful weather for it. It was an outdoor wedding at 4 with the reception immediately following. The decorations were gorgeous and the food was excellent. So much fun!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday: Andrew and I went to early church and then headed to McDonald's for some breakfast. Not our usual first choice for breakfast but we needed some Monopoly pieces!! haha! Andrew is totally addicted to this. Needless to say though, we did not get the ones we needed. We will just have to keep trying. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We came home and then got ready to head to Chester for my Grandma's Birthday. It was a lot of fun and it was a perfect day for Chili and Hot Dogs! We returned home to a freshly painted bedroom (courtesy of our fabulous Aunt Sharon...thank you again) but I should have tested the color first because it turned out more blue then I expected. I was wanting more of a lighter, gray shade and I picked a darker, charcoal color. IDIOT! So, I felt horrible but I told Aunt Sharon that we are going to repaint it since it wasn't exactly the color I wanted (i know....i am picky). We are so thankful for your help though, Aunt Sharon!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here are some of the gray's that I like and will try next:</div>

I am just really nervous about picking out a gray again because I do not want it to look blue or green or whatever....I would like it to look GRAY! :)</div>

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. It is going to be a pretty relaxing one for us so that makes me happy!<br />
<br />
The hubby and I have been working on the house lately and this is what we have done so far:<br />
<br />
1. The spare bedroom-Andrew's Aunt Sharon painted the room (thanks!), Andrew's Uncle Roger put the crown molding up (thanks), and Andrew and his dad put up our new ceiling fans. So, needless to say, we haven't done a lot of it.....actually, correction....I haven't done a lot of it. Andrew has done so much and I am so thankful for him! All I really did was the touch-ups around the trim and what not. :)<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. The attic- Last night Andrew tore all the old insulation out of the attic and this morning his dad and grandpa put in the new. I do not have a pic for this because come on.....who really wants to see the insides of an attic. You get the picture.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. The front of the house and the lawn- A couple of weekends ago, Andrew's family came over and tilled up the yard then planted new grass and let me tell you it looks AWESOME! Not to brag, but we pretty much have the best yard in the neighborhood. No but really, people keep telling us how they love our yard! It is pretty much the bomb. :)</span></span></div>

Everything was perfect and the two looked so happy together!<br />
<br />
Here is a little recap of the wedding festivities:<br />
<br />
Wednesday: Got to go with Emily to pick up her wedding dress and do some last minute shopping.<br />
<br />
Thursday: Decorated the hall and caught up with family and friends.<br />
<br />
Friday: Got our nails done at American Nails in Waterloo and enjoyed some Mimosa's. Nice relaxing time with family and friends. Then we headed to Country Kitchen for some lunch.<br />
<br />
***Side note: After lunch, I came home and decided to take a nap because I had a slight headache....bad idea. Woke up feeling extremely sick and had the rehearsal dinner in only a few hours. I think I got some kind of bug because I was sick throughout the entire rehearsal dinner and even the next morning. So needless to say, I felt terrible because I had to leave the rehearsal dinner early and I felt like I was taking the attention away from Emily and Nick. I love them so much and would never want to do that! So, the next day my mom called Dr. Birner and got some medicine for me and I felt better in no time. Thank you Dr. Birner!<br />
<br />
Saturday: Wedding DAY!!! It was so much fun! We got to the church around 7:30am and immediately started on hair and makeup. We had the ladies from J & L salon in Sparta, IL do our hair and Casey Biancur from Blush Beauty Team did our makeup. It was so nice to spend time with everyone and just relax. Soon it was 11:30 and we had to start getting pictures taken. We got some pics in before the wedding and finished the rest afterwards. Then it was 2pm and time for Emily to walk down the isle. SHE WAS GORGEOUS!!! I mean, of course, I am partial cause she is my sister but DANG!! She looked so pretty!<br />
<br />
After the ceremony, we took some more pictures at the church and then headed to the square in Red Bud to take a few pics. We only had time for a few then we headed to the Grohmann land for some "woodsy" pics. I cannot wait to see them all! The photographer was excellent and so incredibly nice!<br />
<br />
At 6pm we arrived at the Hecker dome and continued the celebration. I wasn't to nervous about my speech until I started it but it turned out great and I was glad to be done with it. Next, Alex gave his speech and it was HILARIOUS! So good. He had everyone laughing. Then we started in on the meal which, of course, was delicious! Hecker knows how to do it right. The dancing began after that and did not stop till midnight. It was such a beautiful day and so perfect for Emily and Nick! Thank you both so much for letting me be a part of it. I love you both so much!<br />
<br />
Sunday: We all got together again at my parents house and watched Emily and Nick open gifts and enjoyed some leftover food. Still delicious the second day!<br />
<br />
It was an amazing wedding weekend and I loved every (almost) every second of it (not the sick part). Thanks so much to family and friends for making this day possible. Love you Emily and Nick! Now enjoy your honeymoon!!! <br />
<br />
Here are some pics (more will be on facebook soon):<br />

I am not going to apologize for my absence. I am just simply going to state the facts. I have been busy....very busy....and because of this I have neglected my blog. Here is a little recap of the last couple of months:<br />
<br />
1. Andrew and I bought a house and moved from Springfield to Red Bud<br />
2. I started a new career<br />
3. I ran in the Color Run in Kansas City and the Susan G. Komen<br />
4. Had my sister's bridal shower and bachelorette party. So much fun!<br />
5. Celebrated with friends at Chris and Jen's wedding, Jared and Candace's wedding, and Chris and Erica's wedding!<br />
6. Went bridesmaid dress shopping for Alli's wedding and Jess's wedding.<br />
<br />
Also, between all that we started fixing up our house...so needless to say our life has been a bit hectic but I have loved every second of it. My goal is to stay on top of this blog but I am sure that I won't always stay up to date....so you will have to take what you can get. I am just to busy enjoying and loving life.<br />
<br />
Here are some pics:<br />

So, I have been a horrible blogger lately. My husband and I just moved back home (Yeah!) and so now we are in the process of setting everything up. We have been without TV or internet for almost 2 weeks. Oh my goodness....I think I am going to go crazy. Did not realize how much I actually use the internet/TV until it is gone.<br />
<br />
So, needless to say, I have been missing out on blog life for sometime now and I cannot wait to get back! We should have everything hooked up and ready to go by Tuesday so I will be back then. As soon as we start remodeling the house then I am going to take you all through that process. Whoo hoo! I love remodeling/decorating! <br />
<br />
Until then I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I am headed to the Cardinal's game here soon then I get to celebrate my birthday again tomorrow night. Great times!<br />
<br />

Dear Wells Fargo Employees- It is so weird not being at work today and knowing that I won't be back ever again. I am going to miss each and ever one of you greatly! LOVE! <br />
<br />
Dear Friday- I love you and I am so happy that I am off work today (and for a while) to really relax and enjoy it. <br />
<br />
Dear Red Bud House- I cannot wait to move into you TOMORROW! So excited to finally have a place of our own.<br />
<br />
Dear Bethenny Ever After- I am going to miss you a ton! Your season finale is probably going to make me cry.<br />
<br />
Dear Say Yes to the Dress Bridesmaids- I want to punch half of the bridesmaids on this show. I keep watching you but I get so mad over what some of the bridesmaids say. I would not stand for that!<br />
<br />
Dear Coffee- I go to bed excited about drinking you the next morning. Newly obsessed with Gevalia Coffee. SOOOO GOOD!<br />

Just wanting to apologize for being absent from the blogging world lately. Andrew and I have been packing and trying to get everything straightened out before we move on Saturday!! Ahhh!! I cannot believe it is almost here. Crazy.<br />
<br />
In about 30 minutes I will be walking out of the doors of Wells Fargo in Springfield, IL for the last time. It is sad because I am leaving some pretty great people but I am also really excited about the next phase of my life. Cannot wait to get home and be around family again. I miss them!<br />
<br />
So, I am going to try and blog again here soon but it may not be until later next week. Also, we will officially have no internet starting Monday so I will be back after we get that up and running. Just love moving!! haha! <br />

I am linking up with <a href="http://livingholland.blogspot.com/2012/05/5-reality-tv-show-i-could-be-on-link-up.html" target="_blank">living holland</a> to talk about reality shows that I love. Instead, of stating ones that I would like to be on (which is just obvious...I would love to be on all of them) I am listing the shows that I watch and what I enjoy about them<br />
<br />
I love reality TV and I get my fair share of it every week! Here is my TV show schedule for the week:<br />

Bethany Ever After: I freaking love Bethany! I enjoy watching her crazy life and I secretly wish I was a part of it. I also think her baby is adorable and her husband Jason is just to cute. Kinda wish I was her bf...haha.<br />

Real Housewives of Orange County: I have loved this show from the beginning. Haven't stopped watching it since...I can't...it is literally an addiction. I love me some Housewife drama! My all-time favorite is Gretchen. I just find her to be the most real (if you even can be that on that show). The one I get the most entertainment from is Alexis....can we say nuts?!? She is just something else entirely.</div>

Life is a little hectic right now. We will officially be moving in 16 days! I haven't started packing anything yet, I need to switch over our mail, we still aren't 100% sure on what is going on with our living situation when we move, my sister's graduation party is coming up, and on top of all that I have to start another job soon. Crap-o-la that is a lot for this head to handle right now! Whew!<br />
<br />
Ok my pity party is over....just wanted to vent. Thanks! For the past two days we have not had any loans available after 4 and I don't get off till 5....so I have nothing to do. I am not complaining though because I am getting some stuff accomplished. Love it! I am even blogging right now while I am at work...tough job...I know. <br />
<br />
In other news, I cannot wait to go shopping this weekend. My sister and I are going on Saturday and I haven't been shopping in forever. Hoping we find some good deals. Saturday night we are going to my dad's where I will get to see my adorable little brother...cannot wait for this either. <br />
<br />
Then on Sunday is Mother's Day and I cannot wait to celebrate my lovely Mom's! Gunna be a lot of food and family around and I love that. I will tell you all about my weekend in more detail on Monday...hopefully will have some pics to share too! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a good weekend all!</div>

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend...we sure did. Friday I got to Red Bud around 7:00 and then Andrew and I went and looked at some laminate flooring that his Aunt and Uncle just put in their kitchen. I loved it! We are thinking about putting laminate flooring into our "maybe" home. That is right...we are pretty sure we have the house! I will let you know more on this topic soon.<br />
<br />
Saturday, I got up and went to my mom's boot camp. I am so happy I did to because <a href="http://andreamingles.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Andrea</a> was there and I got to work out with her. It was great and I am still sore. Then I had to get ready to go out to eat for Emily's 23rd Birthday. We went to The Office and the food was delicious...as always! Later that evening, Andrew and I went out to eat at Joe Boccardi's with some friends then we hit up the Waterloo cinema and saw "The Avengers." Good movie but I was so tired from my glass of wine at supper that I was starting to get really tired at the end. Kind of pathetic...I know. haha!<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I confess that I am upset with the weather today. I hate having to drive home in the rain. I want the sunny, nice weather back!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I confess that I slacked off and did not work out this morning. I have been getting up and working out for two weeks but it has been rough. It is so hard to make myself get out of bed!! Tomorrow I will have to push it even harder...am boot camp with my momma!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I confess that I have been obsessed with looking at other blogs at work. I am just so not productive sometimes. :)</span><br />

2. <b>My Shellac Machine and Nail polish</b>- So, if you know me then you know that I am obsessed with painting my nails! For Christmas, my step-mom got my sister and me the Shellac Machine and some polish colors...I cannot stop painting them! Also, what is great about shellac is that it lasts for like 2 weeks and it always looks glossy! LOVE!</div>
