New Wheels!

I don't have to worry about how I'm going to get to school anymore! We were quite happily surprised that we were able to get a 2012 Nissan Sentra for 2.9%, no down, and for the same payments we were already making.  Of course it added about three years to a car loan (we were down to two years on the Durango) but hey, it is a 2012 and it should last me for a long time!

Hubby is coming home!

Well, hubby is on his way home, for a week! That could be a good thing or a bad thing, lol. J/K I love him to death but sometimes after a few days of being home, I guess he gets bored and starts being a pain. Hanging around in the kitchen while I'm trying to make dinner, flipping channels right when I'm just getting into something, finding projects for "us" to do. Don't you just love those kind of projects? :D

Things are slowly starting to come together! I will try to have one or two of my own giveaways going real soon. When that happens, I will be letting everyone know!

Darned Economy

So, my husband and I did some in-depth research today and if we can't find a car better on gas, I can't go to school. The school (nursing) is so far away, gas prices are so high, and my vehicle is so bad on gas it would cost around $179 a week for me to attend school. I was so stoked about going too because it would mean a big boost to my earning potential!

Oh well, I've always believed everything happens for a reason ............ what do you think?

I’m still trying to figure all of this blogging thing out, lol. I’ve seen others blogs that look borderline professional and I hesitate to even invite people to look at mine until I’ve done more work! 

One thing I’d like to go ahead and say is that I am planning on adding giveaways to my blog as soon as I’ve figured things out a little more and actually have some followers. I would like to add some of my favorite recipes as well as some interesting photos my husband and I have taken while on the road.

All in good time, it’s still a work in progress.

My first post! How exciting!

For a long time, everything I knew about blogging came from the movie Julie & Julia. I loved the movie, but I don't think I'm brave enough to tackle making a dish from an entire recipe book in a year, sorry. :)

A little about me:

My husband drives a truck over the road and even though it can get annoying sometimes, (like when I get a sudden urge to go have a nice dinner out and everyone I know is busy) for the most part, I'm fine with it. Dinner is whatever I feel like making, I watch whatever I want on TV, and I come and go as I please. In fact, I have to make major adjustments whenever hubby is home because he is a remote control and a bed covers hog, lol.

I'm excited to finally have a blog of my own though and I can't wait to meet some new people. Any questions or any suggestions any of you may have, feel free to leave a comment!
