New Beginnings

Hello again blogger world!

Since I last posted, we have moved back home to Texas!

Hans has started his own Advertising agency, Branding Iron Management.

I have gone to work for CSISD as the secretary to Donna Adams, the Dean of Instruction.

Katie has started at my alma matter Consol & is a junior, and Emily is in the 7th grade at CSMS.

I work with an amazing group of people and I look forward to work every day. A totally great change from nursing school!

I hope to catch up some more soon!

Interesting week

Well just thought I would log on and update...

I have been quilting the last few weeks. Working on a Texas Flag quilt for Hans. Here are some pics:

I have also been collecting fabric for Brittany & Nolan's baby's (Peanut's) quilt:

I'm thinking of using burp cloths as some of the squares with ribbons and buttons.

I have been taking business classes and had a difficult test this week in Stats! Yuck! I fell down the staris at school Thursday...that hurt! I'll have some serious bruises next week.

I started volunteering for Susan G. Komen race for the cure here in Jackson and last Saturday worked a radio remote for registration at my local Kroger..and also at B&N, and again at Kroger on Friday when we had some strong storms blow through. There was a tornado that hit in the area, and we spent our time back in the back of the store rather than out front at the registration table!

I just got finished volunteering at the Race this morning, and found it to be rewarding and I am definitely leaning towards a career in the non-profit marketing sector. We'll see!

I also took some pictures at the Old Capitol Inn's courtyard during the survivor's breakfast just for fun.

A travel companion

So we have decided to jump on the Flat Stanley bandwagon, even though the girls are 16 and almost 12. We are going to travel with a flat stanley type of idea but not sure what exactly it will be in the shape of. Then when we are done we will put him and all pictures into a book for prosperity along with "His/Her" stories. How fun!

Wow Why am I so bad at this?

Hi! I'm back!
I have been so busy and came to check in!
I hope to get back in the swing of things with my blog but I guess only time will tell!
I have switched from Nursing to Business classes and hope to one day work at a non-profit planning events! Doesn't that sound fun?
I just want to find a job that I enjoy doing everyday, and that I'm good at!
The Family is great!
Now I have to go pick up the girls from school! See ya soon!

My blogiversary is today!

Well 1 year ago today I decided to start this blog. I have been so bad about keeping in touch & writing here but when I look back I'll remember how busy I have been since Nursing school started....won't I?

So what's news lately...?
KT tirned 14! I can't believe it! She had to friends spend the night MO & EW. They ordered pizza & played Disney Scene it & phase 10 twist, watched movies & played wii. Then Saturday morning (her b-day) we went shopping for her new bed linens, and we went to dinner at Cheddars. Then Monday (MLK day) the 3 of us girls went to see the bedtime stories movie..it was better tahn we were expecting!

This weekend we are looking forward to our 3rd weekend in a row with no traveling.

I think i have carpal tunnel in my right wrist. Well atleast according to the test we have done in my nursing class, and that it hurts all the time & turns cold & numb when I type or write for too long. It has even awoken me in the middle of the night if my wrist gets bent while I sleep.
I'll have to have that checked out soon.
Other than that things are going along smoothly here.

The high school posted some pics of KT swimming...here is that link

We arrived in Orlando Sunday evening & went to Downtown Disney & ate at an italian restaraunt that was awful & very pricey! Great Disney store though!
Monday the 4 Hammonds went to Universal Studios..great fun! My favorite part was teh Mummy ride! KT & I rode it twice! (all inside) I aslo enjoyed the Jaws boat ride:The parade was good. I loved this snowman he was HUGE & we were right on the street:

Here is Katie with these "who" girls on stilts. The stilt thing was quite popular.I'm not a huge scooby fan but he was so cute as rudolf!

The next day we went to Universal Islands of adventure. This was KT's favorite day b/c of all the roller coasters! This was her favorite The Hulk!We even found a 3D roller coaster type ride that EM loved Spiderman

Jurrasic Park was here with rides & all kinds of dinosaur stuff.
Here is EM always the drama queen! She loves "hamm"ing it up for the camera. hahahaha

My favorite part had to be:
I loved the Dr. Suess stuff so much fun. We watched How the grinch stole Chritmas. KT & I met the grinch but our pics did not turn out... :(
