traffic,faith,life..

Everyday something comes to mind and I think I should blog about it..and then...I forget. Sorry this place has been so boring lately, but I've been doing lots of reading and less blogging.

I did get myself a little present...A PINK Blackberry Pearl! I just downloaded mobile blogging and hopefully that will get me more motivated.

Other things going on in the "E" household, Hubby became a firefighter recently!, He does look awful cute in his turn out gear..LOL!! One of my classes ends next week & i'm so thankful. It's been a very thought prevoking class but the projects are crucial. So time consuming. As a matter of fact, I should be working on my last one now.

My boys are as wonderful as ever. They continue to amaze me and i just love them to pieces. I am such a blessed person & never knew boys could be so much fun!


Yesterday we hopped in the car and spontaneously took off for my old stomping grounds- Rutherfordton. Saw some family we havent seen since Christmas and just had a good time visiting. It was nice, but it makes me realize how much I miss living there. I wish the economy was better there and we would move there. Much to the inlaws and my parents disappointment, it just feels more like "home" than it does here.

Speaking of the Economy, does anyone else get worried and depressed hearing about it? I try not to, but its not easy. God will take care of us and he will provide, we just have to trust in him. Its just the unknown that makes me uneasy. I've seen many people lately who thought their jobs were safe and then the next day they are un-employed. Its quite sad.

I've got some more posts brewing in my mind..hopefully I will get them typed shortly.

* Oh yeah, does anyone know how I can get more traffic?*

Love is in the Air

Valentines,Valentines, Valentines!!!

Flowers, Chocolates, Teddy Bears, etc. PINK OVERLOAD!!

Oh how I love Valentine's Day. We celebrated a week early by spending the weekend in Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge with another couple and just getting some R&R.



I want to do something special for the boys though. I was reading on another blog some delicious and quite fun ways to do chocolate covered strawberries. There was even cheesecake covered strawberries. Yum yum.

Just another Manic Monday..

Rascal Flatts was amazing!! Such great performers! Now Jessica Simpson, was alright.

The rest of the weekend has been pretty uneventful. Saturday did homework, grocery shopping, visited with brother in law, girlfriend and her little girl. Saturday night fixed Mexican and had some drinks with Jason & Josey. Love these two, such fun friends!

Sunday I did homework the entire day.UGH! My wonderful husband cleaned up the house and kept the kids out of my hair. He is wonderful wonderful wonderful & I couldnt do it without him.

I'm very overwhelmed right now with school, work, and life in general. I have a bad habit of putting off my homework until the weekend & it creates more stress for all of us. I've got to do better and have already started tonight.

Another one..

WOW! No posts in months & then 3 in one day. I just keep thinking of things to blog about.

I mentioned in another earlier post that I was thinking of getting my teaching certificate, not just stopping at being an assistant. Well I'm going to do it. Hopefully Fall of 2009, I will become a ECU Pirate!! (I'm saying this with all fingers, toes, etc. crossed!) I've got a few places I'm looking at, but ECU is my top pick..Montreat and Lees McCrae close 2nds.

So it looks like I'm going to be a student for quite a while, but it will be well worth it!



I promise this will be my last post for the day!

Well..not back to the Grind just yet!

Took lil man to the doctor...he has Strep Throat.

So another two days plus weekend before we will be back. Still going to Rascal Flatts though..lil man can stay with Daddy!!



I need some help as well..I'm looking for a new skin care regime.
I have acne and scars from teen acne, my skin doesnt get real oily and I'm bad about wearing sunscreen. I've tried Mary Kay Velocity & Timewise and well, I'm kinda meh about it. I need something with a bit of wrinkle help as well. (Ouch not even 1/4 century old and need help with wrinkles..scary).

Help me out, what do you use??

Snow Day...well, whats left that is.

It's been a nice week so far. Monday was MLK day, tuesday a snow day!!! and today is a teacher workday!

I will be back at the daily grind tomorrow. Then Friday is Rascal Flatts & Jessica Simpson concert. I have a feeling, i will either hate or love her. It's kinda up for debate. Though R.Flatts supposedly puts on a great show, so I'm sure that will be well worth it.

I've got lots of things on my to-do list for this month & I'm sure it will be another crazy one. Spring will then bring baseball,baseball and more baseball. Lil one will be playing t-ball & the big one baseball. Should be lots of fun & crazy scheduling, as in true Effler fashion!

School girls are having a indoor- yard sale in two weeks & I can't wait to get rid of a lot of stuff. Hopefully make some money too, as I've seen loads of new clothes I NEED!!! Yeah, need.

Out with the old...in with the new!!

So, since all the other blogs are discussing their Resolutions, I thought I'd do the same...

My resolutions are to eat healthier, remember my vitamins and exercise daily. So far pretty good. I did have a tiny slice of carrot cake but thats about it. I have low iron and should have been taking vitamins more before now but I've been slack.

I went shopping right before Christmas and was able to fit into a size 8 American Eagle pants and now I'm on a mission to be a tee total size 8. I'm a 10 now & would love to be a single digit again.

I need to quit snacking as much & thats hard with trying to pull late night study times and everything but I hope to change that when school starts next week.

I'm dreading going back to work and school starting back, I know its going to be spring before long and the boys will be playing baseball and more hectic times ahead. I'm also taking a full course load and so that will be interesting.
