MUST.CHANGE.ATTITUDE.

I feel like this picture was made for me!
The frown, the curly hair, the crossed arms totally me...sigh.

Christmas 2008 (Iowa)

Here are some lovely Christmas themed pictures... just because!

A close up of some of my favorite ornaments, the mirrored one is from my childhood!


The ornament wreath I made with Chelsea and Lindsay over Thanksgiving.

Oreo Balls! Chelsea was my inspiration!

The Christmas Cookies I made for my staff!

Last but certainly not least, a bad picture of my Christmas Tree!
More pictures from home coming soonish.
Winston and I head home tomorrow, say a little prayer for good weather!
Merry Christmas!

Goin' Home!

I am so excited to go home! Winston is too! There is only one problem, the temperature! Although Winston's Vet says that he can travel in temperatures as low as 10 degrees, the airline believes other wise. So keep your fingers crossed and say your prayers that it will be 20 degrees or above (in Des Moines and Portland) on the 17th and the 30th.

I would now like to dedicate this song to home, because there really is no place like it.

Oh, there’s no place like
home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can’t beat
Home, sweet home

I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin’ for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin’ down
To Dixie’s sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific

Oh there's no place like home
For the holidays, ‘cause no matter
How far away you roam
If you want
To be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can’t beat
Home, sweet home

Happy Holidays and Lots of Love,
Sara and Winston

OMG!

Winston and I spent Thanksgiving with Scott, Chelsea, and Bailey. It was a great weekend and break from my real life. Chelsea took this picture, it is the BEST picture EVER! I need to frame this! I love my WINNIE!


Best picture EVER!

Christmas Wish List!

Here is the list!


Mama needs a new pair of shoes! My current tennis shoes are almost worn through to the bottom!


To keep my hot drinks nice and toasty!


I am tired of ironing on the floor over a towel.


A new leash for the baby!


I prefer the older movies.

I of course would like some socks, and jeans as well. Just some ideas for the family, but my #1 Christmas wish is to bring Winston home with me for my vacation!

Computer problems

I haven't posted anything for a very long time because my computer is no longer working! I am very sad. Ready for the story???

A few weeks ago, I woke up in the morning and opened my laptop, left it to start up then went and started my morning routine. When I got back to the computer the screen was still black, and cycling on and off. So I turned it off and called HP later that afternoon, they determined that the computer needed to be sent in because the mother board was bad. So I sent the computer in expecting to get it back in 6-9 days (which is what HP told me).

9 days go by, and no computer, so I called HP, they informed me that my mother board, key board, control panel and speakers have water damage and it will cost $739 to repair everything. I obviously don't have the money to get it fixed so I had them send it back.

The funny thing is I haven't ever spilled anything on my computer, so I don't understand how all of those things have water damage.

This what I am guessing happened. While I Was asleep Winston grew thumbs, opened his kennel, poured himself a glass of milk, then went to check his facebook and while checking his facebook spilled the milk on the computer.

Realistically I am just going to call HP again and pray that they will really help me. Keep your fingers crossed. Until then, I will be using my office computer, BOOOOOOO!

Side note I hate November!

Congratulations Erin and Brandon!

A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be a part of my good friend Erin's wedding! Her colors were Black and Green, what a great combination! Everything was BEAUTIFUL, the groom was handsome and the bride was stunning.



The Bride and I!



Three other Bridesmaids!

While I was in town I got to stay with Adam and Erin (the other Erin). I also got to meet Allie their baby girl, she is such a cutie! I loved her!



Baby Allie and I!



I freaking love these flowers! So pretty! They were in the Brides bouquet, my mom also had these flowers in her bouquet when she got married. I can never remember what they are called!

It was an awesome celebration and I am very happy for Erin and Brandon!
