How nice it was so be able to spend some time with Eric tonight. It was a short amount of time, but anytime is always enjoyable.

We went for a quick jog, and Eric treated me to a homemade dinner of grilled cheese sandwiches. The best grilled cheese sandwiches you'll ever have. :)

Eric enjoyed attending the Mock Trial tonight at the Superior Courtroom at the detention center. After the trial, Eric and Milan did a dog demonstration for the kids to see. They did vehicle searches for marijuana and Chris Strange was nice enough to 'take a bite' outta crime with Milan by wearing a bite sleeve. Milan is trained in narcotics, building searches, aggression, and tracking people who are lost or who have ran from the police. Joe Keith Jr, a K-9 officer in Noblesville, used to work in Salem, invited Eric to train along with them near Indianapolis. The majority of those officers received their dog from Vohn Liche Kennels, which is where Eric hand-picked Milan. It's really nice that Eric can train with others who have the same training.

Eric's going to be fortunate enough to get a 'bite suit' for training purposes for Milan. Someone will be able to wear the suit and let Milan practice aggression for those bad guys... I'll say a pray for the person that decides to wear the suit. When he gets it in, I'll try to post some pictures.

Here's a pic of a birthday cake I did this weekend for a good friends' daughters party.

Maybe I should've taken a picture of my kitchen after I was all done....

Whatta Weekend

What a weekend and week it has been, and a beautiful one at that. Well, I take that back, I did wake up to the dreaded 'S' word on my car this week. Yes, I'm talking about snow.. Don't worry I won't say it again. It was all in all crap on my car.

Spring is here! I AM so excited. Flip flops, painted toe nails, capris, sunglasses, hammock time, longer daylight, need I go on??? There's nothing like a Spring night with your windows open and your electric blanket on!! I wasn't sure how cold it was supposed to get last night, but I decided to give it a try. I figured, if I get cold, I'll just shut the window. It was by far the best night I've slept all week! Eric wasn't too happy this morning when he had to get up. He was freezing. I refused to shut the window and turn on the heat for him..... He loves me!

Friday night I got to enjoy the company of my Mom, sister and best friend, Whitney for some good laughs and dance lessons. Whitney is quite the dancer, so we requested that she show us the Cupid Shuffle. She doesn't keep her audience waiting long. My mom got schooled on how to do 'Bloomington Club Style' dancing.. We couldn't stop laughing.

Saturday was a busy day of bank stops, grocery shopping, laundry, dishes, and baking and decorating. Then off to a housewarming party.
The housewarming party was an adventure in itself, well not the party, but getting to the party...First I had to go to a co-workers house in Georgetown so we could ride together. I thought I knew EXACTLY how to get to her house; well I MIGHT'VE been a tiny bit wrong, but not many women admit that they were wrong, and I'm not about to step up and be the first to admit it. Especially that my husband THINKS he was RIGHT.... ohhhh noooooo... not this wife/woman!!!!
So on my endeavours to get to Liz's house, I had called Eric to make sure I was going the right way, which I was sure I was. For anyone who knows Eric, he has no directional sense, I knew that when I married him and i love him for it; however I'm not sure why I called him. He insisted I was going the wrong way. I insisted he didn't know what he was talking about because I knew EXACTLY how to get there. I even hung up on him a few times...Anyways, to get there I had to take an old country road I was unfamiliar with. I was upset about being late and a little 'confused' on where I was , and wasn't paying a lot of attention. I was trying to be careful because I had the housewarming party gift in the back seat of the car. 2 bottles of liquor, and 6 glasses. Do you see where this is going??? So I was driving popped over a hill, got startled by this big blue piece of heavy machinery in the middle of the road, SLAMMED on my brakes (good thing I just got new brakes) and slide right, left, and back to the right to finally straighten up, well in the midst of all the braking and sliding, and large 'clash' happened... But I'm already late, there's no time to check for damages at this point. So I continue on to Liz's house. Get out to evaluate the damage. Well most of the 'goods' were ok, the liquor that being, however; the glasses, we only could salvage 2. 2 out of 6. The other 4 were sooo cute too.. Oh well, at least I didn't wreck my car and her alcohol was ok. So Eric, I won't completely admit that I was wrong and you were right, but I will say that I got there by one of the ways you told me. There's you're "I'm sorry." haha

Today-off to the gym, I'm trying to run a 5k this spring/summer with Eric, so I gotta get some exercise in. Then off to deliver the 'Little Mermaid' cake to Addy's birthday party!!!
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and upcoming week!

ExCitEd!!

So at first starting this blog, I was really unsure of how I felt about it. After browsing Facebook and seeing others who I know that have started their own blogs, I'm started to get really excited about it. I love reading about what's going on with others lives, as well as letting others know about our lives. It gives me something to do while I'm home and Eric's at work. However; I should probably be doing some housework, since it never ends...

It's amazing how quickly your clean house becomes so messy with only two people living in it. With Eric and I working different shifts, it's very hard to get things accomplished. We usually go right behind one another and make messes.

Because Eric works so much, I felt as if I should get a second job since I typically have a 3 day weekend, but not many jobs are going to let you pick and choose your hours. Working out of town makes it impossible to work during the week, not to mention, I usually never get off when I'm supposed to. I decided to take some cake decorating classes and pursue that as a second job (or at least try my best hand at it). This weekend, I have been making some shamrocks for a birthday cake on Wednesday (St. Patrick's Day).

Here are a couple of cakes and cupcakes that I've made:

If anyone needs a cake or cupcakes, just email me and let me know! I'm always up for a new adventure!!

Welcome!

It's funny how you think that you have so much to write about, then you decide to start a blog, and not the first thing has came to my mind to write about.... That always happens to me. Who knows if I'll have much to write about at all, but I thought it would be nice to have our out of town family to have a blog to catch up what's going on in our lives.

Yes, it's 3:00 A.M. and I am blogging... I find I have a bit of insomina on the weekends. I'm usually up waiting for Eric to get off of work, however; I should be getting some sleep while Eric and his dog are out. His dog is an alarm clock. It barks at anything and everything in our alley, and our neighbors truck. He hates it!! Between 5am & 6am every morning Milan (the dog) is barking... This dog is an absolute monster sometimes, but I still love him. :)

Last night (Friday) Eric and I went to French Lick's casino for a celebration of my grandmothers life. She LOVED to go to the boat. So Eric and I decided to take $20 and gamble for my Granny. Eric was on his last bit of money he was going to spend, and then we hit it!!! Well, you would've lot we hit several thousands of dollars, but we just won $82.00!!! We called it quits after that! Granny would've been so proud! This pic is Eric with our winnings and his new 'comp' card that you get at the boat.
