And she returns!

So, the last time I blogged it was about my 1 year anniversary which was exactly three months ago. Woops! haha

There have been many blogs started but none that I have completed.

August was spent working on my house and enjoying my last days before subbing began.

September was an eventful month.

September 9th I went with my friend Jill and her kids to Disneyland for her daughter's birthday. We had a great time!

For my sister's birthday I wanted to do something special. I came across this website and decided that I just had to make that cake! In truth it was my second attempt, but I think I have the kinks worked out. I'm not the best cook in the world, but I do love trying new things. I have to say that it is fun to make and fun to look at!

Not the best picture (or the best looking cake for that matter) but you get the idea.


The weekend of the 12th and 13th I went to Las Vegas with Jonathan to meet up with some friends. My friend ended up being sick for the most part of the trip, so Jonathan and I were mostly on our own.

I actually won on the Wizard of Oz machine and then lost it all haha



On Fremont Street




The next week was my 25th birthday! It wasn't anything special, just another birthday haha. We went to dinner at Famous Daves with some friends.







On September 25th, Jonathan and I took my brother to the Kern County Fair. I'm not really sure why I go every year. I suppose it is because I rarely went as a kid because my sister and I had birthdays around the same time which meant birthday parties and presents and it left little to go to the fair with. I do like to go to the fair though. Maybe I go because its something to do in this town. Either way, we take my brother every year and walk around.





The kid area is really the best place to go. They have animals (including a kangaroo and scorpions! Ew!) and lots of other little discovery things for kids. We spent a little over an hour there.



Alex and Jonathan played a game of chess. As you can see, Jonathan won.



The cage was open and kids were picking them up and playing with them. I ran away in fear that one would fall and come after me.



And I got my funnel cake =)




October 3rd I went with Brynna and Cyndel to Disney on Ice. We had amazing seats and I loved the show! I love Disney and figure skating. So Disney+Figure skating=GENIUS! lol It was well worth the money to see the excitement on Cyndel's face.



That would be gum in her mouth haha




LOVED the show!




In other news, subbing has definitely picked up and I haven't had a day off in over a month. It's nice to have money in my bank account, but having a day off would be nice. There was a point where I worked for two straight weeks without a day off and that was including Saturdays and Sundays at both jobs.


I tried spin! (Check off to do list) and almost died!
I was sore for 3 days in places that I had no idea could get sore!


Jonathan brought home a new camera yesterday. It is one of those professional looking cameras and I'm so excited to start experimenting with it!


I am currently experimenting with a new cleaning schedule which is one room a day. So far is going pretty good and I hope to keep it up. I'll keep you posted!
