Update

For all of you who wondered what was going on and if I was OK...

I am OK...I was feeling a little down and low (not completely back or completely back to blogging although I might be back...I need blogging and I need you great ladies around these parts :)).

If you didn't know, Scott and I want a child, but we are not pressuring ourselves with planned sex or anything like that...So not using protection for the last SEVEN years and nothing has happened yet, it really gets to me when I find out others are preggo!  DON'T get my WRONG!  I am SOOOO happy for these ladies, I'm just sad that it's STILL NOT me announcing it yet.  So I decided I would take some time off from blogging, because I really had nothing nice or happy to post about...I was feeling pretty negative, and I didn't want you all to have to read that...And I stopped reading blogs, because every week it seems that I'm reading some one new finding out they are preggers...But I have decided that I just need to get over it and stop letting it bother me!  God has a plan for us all and if it's not his plan for us to get preggers then we will move on...I'm thinking about setting up an appointment with my doctor to get my cycle back on track and get some help with ovulation...

Anyways...I'm OK...Not wonderful, but OK...

And I'm sure I will be back with updates in our life, but those posts will have to wait, until I'm fully back...Reviews and giveaways will still be done...

Thanks!

They sent me a sampler box and I tried a couple of them.  Some of them I couldn't try because some of them have Dark Chocolate in them and that gives me migraines.

My favorite was the Ivory Orange Truffle!  LOVED IT!!

Scott was a fan of the Raspberry ones and the Hazelnut.  I also took a bite of 

the Hazelnut one too and it was actually pretty good!

If you try any of their caramels be prepared to have something next to you to drink! 

 I took a small bite of the Habanero one and my mouth was on fire for awhile!!

I 100% recommend these chocolates...I'm in the process of begging Scott to let me go and order a bunch :)

THANK YOU COWGIRL CHOCOLATES!!!!!

*I received a sample box for my honest opinion.  I received no other compensation for this*

Sorry....

Blog Day of Silence

You all might know by now, but for those of you that don't....Summer B lost her daddy to a cancer.  He passed away on Sunday :(  Summer was able to be there with her dad while he took his last breath.

Summer is one of the most inspiring people I know.  She has been through so much and she is still

being strong.

Although I have never met either Summer or "Butch", Summer spoke very highly of her father.  He was truly an amazing man!  With a big heart just like his daughter.

Starting tonight at midnight a day of blogging silence will be held for Summer's daddy "Butch"

If you would like to join in, please copy and paste this picture on a blog post and then link up on Summer's blog tomorrow.

Vacation Recap

I don't have any pictures to post just yet...They all need to have my blog name

 on them and right now, I don't feel like doing it right now :)

This vacation was very much planned out, but once we got downstate...

All plans went out the window!!  

We did ONE thing on our planned list of things to do!!

Wednesday: Headed downstate in the afternoon...Checked into out hotel room and

 hung out there for the night...Ordered dinner and watched some TV and just lounged

Thursday: We drove downtown Lansing and walked around found the Capitol building, took some pictures, took some pictures of the churches downtown...Took a nap...Went out to Texas Roadhouse with our friends (they have the BEST bread ever and honey cinnamon butter!!! YUM)...Headed back to the pool to go swimming, but there were too many people in the pool, so we just went back to the room and hung out.

Friday: Went swimming...We were going to do the zoo, but realized that it was only opened from 5-8 and we were meeting one of my friends for dinner at 5...Met my friend for dinner...Went back to the hotel, so I could get my Live giveaway post up and scheduled...Headed back to our friends house...Went to a Haunted house...Went and saw Jackass 3D only it wasn't in 3D (there some really funny parts in this movie, but if you have a weak stomach, don't watch it!...Went back to the hotel...I think we might of shopped this day too...

Saturday: Did a lot of shopping...Went to iHop for dinner...Went and saw Paranormal Activity 2 (it was pretty good.  Much better than the 1st one)...Went back to the hotel...I tried to read THOUSANDS of comments (still haven't read them all) picked the giveaway winners and tossed and turned all night because I had pain all over my body....We were going to do the zoo this day instead but changed our minds...

Sunday: (last day of Vaca :( BOO) We were thinking about going to a different zoo, but I was so tired, because I didn't get much sleep the night before we decided just to pack up and head home...Now I sit here and type this and dread about having to go back to work tomorrow :(

I do have to say that this vacation was pretty relaxed, but I do wish I would of gone to at least one zoo...

Tomorrow I will finish putting my blog name on the pictures and post them!!!

Now it's time to pick out my clothes for work tomorrow and head to bed early!!!!

Would you all please keep Summer at Summer's Story, Summer at B is for..., and Jenn at The Miller Madness...in your thoughts or prayers...These ladies are having a tough time with some things right...

Five Question Friday...Hosted by My Little Life

1. Who is the better cook, you or your spouse?

We both are pretty good. With somethings we both can cook them pretty well, but I usually make them better

About once a week sometimes more, sometimes less

3. Are you adventurous in the kitchen or stick to the recipe?

I hardly ever stick to a recipe

4. Is your second toe longer than your big toe?

No...Scott's are and they kind of creep me out :)

We are this year, and we are going trick or treating :)  I'm not sure what I'm going to be...

Python Printable Thanksgiving games review

I recently had the chance to review printable games from Python Printable games.  I reviewed their Thanksgiving Game pack.  This packet was filled with over 30 links to print off games, such as; word searches, puzzles, scavenger hunt type games, trivia question games, and mad libs.  I have done a lot of them and they are a lot of fun.  

I highly recommend this company if you are looking for fun games.  The Thanksgiving games are very affordable for $19.99 for over 30 printable games.  Or you can purchase one for $6.95 each.

Head over and check them out, and while you are there take a look at all the other printable games they have.

I will be back to this site!

Here's some info from their Thanksgiving party games pack section:

Fall Harvest and Thanksgiving Games to print and play! If you love to host a family Thanksgiving gathering, then you know how hard it is to find fun Thanksgiving party games which offer excellent value for money.

We have lots of games for Thanksgiving and Fall Harvest, including word games, trivia, gift exchange, word searches and much more! Our instant download means you have NOT left it too late. Print as many copies as you need, so you don't ever have to worry about catering for unexpected guests.

*I received a free link to print off all the games that I wanted, for my complete and honest review.  I received no other compensation for this*
