Hello World!

I know it has been awhile since I have writen in this:) Hmmm lets see what are we up to? Eric is still working on his MBA. He would like to open a winery or meadery. Meadery is honey wine. I cant wait to share some of Eric's mead when we make it to the other side of the state.

Our kids are doing well. They have it really easy here:P I have pictures, so soon you will get to see them:) Lilly is a mommy's girl. She is always in the same room as me and always has to sleep on my chest. I have paw sized bruises:P Dre is getting frustrated. He wants to be outside, and has no problem meowing his opinion about it. Skit broke her box this weekend...she is a bit of a chunky girl and the box was small to begin with, so it was a matter of time. Eric fixed it, and we are not sure if she is happy with it or not:P

On To ME:P Work has been slow and very low on my hours. It was getting really tight without lessons, but with school starting back up, I will be having alot of my students come back:) Note to self, keep students through summer to cover low hours in the summer:P

June 4th and 5th I will be competing for the MRS. Iowa America tittle! Who knew I could still get to be an America Tittle holder! I was so excited for this!!! Its a bit different though:( I have an entrance fee of $550! That is alot. I am working to fundraise everything. I am doing well so far! Some of my voice and piano students have donated to me already! I will be having a jewlery party, and trying to think of more things. Let me know if you have any ideas. Once I raise $250.00 I will get a sash that says MRS. Dubuque on it:) I then can actually run around the state of Iowa as MRS. Dubuque.....I might have to use one of my crowns too:P So if there is an event that needs some spark or could help me with raising funds please let me know. I can use all the help I can get. Also any interview questions would be great! I have a long time, but practice will make me perfect! I have so many plans if I win, so keep your fingers crossed:)

I also have Facebook. ShareD0013@yahoo.com. I also have a fan page to the Miss Northeast Iowa pageant that I am on the board for. If you could take the time and look it up, and become a fan, that would be great! This is my first board I have gotten to be on, so I want to make a strong impression!

Thanks for reading the long post!

Updates and not just ponies!

It finally happend...I got an audition for the Bell Tower. The Bell Tower only auditions invite only! So after 2 years of butt kissing I final got one. Well i am waiting to find a time. So I am waiting on a replay email, but it could be coming this Friday!!! So keep your fingers crossed. This could help me big time with other auditions!

We also had a store meeting. Well my questions or something spark the intrest of the guy who helps buisness stay afloat, Alan. Well Alan tells the Kepharts that they need to put me in charge of getting the kepharts up to date online. Their son has too much to do...and he does. So next week there is talk of me taking on the task. I am hoping to get a pay bonus and maybe some hours changed so its not always to 6:00 at night....would help alot with lessons! So pray I will stick to my guns and come out on a better note:)

Now for the ponies:) Toys R US! Now why didnt I think of that? So here are some links you can check out and all that fun stuff:) Keep your eyes peeled. If they are garage sales and what not, I want them. ANYTHING:) Thank You!

Hmmm

Ok I wanted to start putting up some pictures. Mostly ponies cause I havent taken the time to take pictures off of our camera.......I thought there would be a gallery option.....I dont think anyone wants me to post the pictures of ALL the ponies I am looking for! So if anyone has a free site or something that has a gallery option let me know.

I am staying away from facebook:P Its a personal prefrences....So if you know any other sites let me know. Eric has facebook though:)

I also remake ponies. With my collecting I get some non fixable ponies. I dont mind these ponies, I actually like them:) When I get a pony that has marks or something that cant come off, i remake it. I have 3 in the process and I will post those. I am hoping to make a special pony for all my nieces:) they get to choose the colors and everything:) Now i just need to get the ponies:)

A Long Long Time Ago

I promised I would keep up with my blog...(I really meant like months later:P)

So back to posting again!

Our kids....Lilly has had a few accidents, but we think one of the other children have been keeping her from the litter. So in our kitchen we have a door to our four seasons room. Its more like a two season room due to the fact it was built such with high intellegence; really cold in Winter and really hot in summer. So we put a door up and put a kitty door so the kids could use the litter. well Skit loves to sit at the kitty door...well more like hides. She will wait and wait until Lilly trys to go throught= the kitty door then wap wap wap wap goes Skit; picking on the poor young kitty:( Sadly Eric and I can only laugh!

Work has been going ok for both Eric and I. We tollerate it for the most part....but we call it work right? When was work fun? Oh when Chad would throw dirt at us if we didnt pick a rock up fast enough:P So in short nothing great to report about work.

I have listed a few sites to help those who want to help in the whole pony collections! I am also working on getting pictures of ponies I am looking for! I want new and old! ANYTHING!!!! Oh and if anyone is going to Disney world any time soon let me know. There are a few things of My Little Pony there! I will send money! I had my chance to get them once:( I totally regret not getting them....and mom even gave me the ok. I have no idea what I was thinking! So note to all readers....listen to Mom alot of times she is right. Well have a wonderful 3 day weekend!

Jump on the Band Wagon

I guess it is time for me to get with the times. I will do my best to keep up with this blog! Unfortunately, I do not have really cute babies and kids to post about. I do have 3 cats! Who ever thought I would have cats in my house:) So I will tell you about them!

Dre is about 9 or more people years old. He is a large black cat, with a small white patch on his belly and neck. He is a bit rough around the edges, but after some time he can be really sweet. He is a bit chubby, so when he plays its really funny.

Next up is Skit. She is going to be 3 this year. I got her when I had an apartment at college. She kept me calm, as I could hear the wind through my apartment. No really, that apartment was so thin, I heard snoring from downstairs.

Our new addition is Lilly. We decided to get another cat, because Dre was lazy and Skit was getting board playing by herself. She is a few months old, but a very sweet kitty. Lilly loves water. She plays in our shower all the time. Her and Skit have started playing with each other, so they seem not so fat:P Dre is still not warming up to her yet.

Now that I have talked about our kids, it is time for the parents. Eric is working at the University of Dubuque. He works for the seminary admissions, and he is going for his MBA! His favorite hobby right now is home brewing his own beer and wine. Feel free to stop by for a taste! I am working at Kephart’s Music Center in Dubuque. I work in sales, but I get to pick the brains of many talented people. I also teach piano and voice lessons. I have 11 students. They keep me busy.

Last but not least my other project. I am looking for new and old My Little Pony. No matter the condition or anything. I have been good at restoring ponies to their former glory, and making a few art projects of my own. I will post those later. So if you find any New or Old ponies please feel free to donate, or name your priceJ

Sorry for the long blog. Thanks for reading, and I will get pictures and stuff up soon!
