We decided to have our own little Christmas last night as we will be busy with our families the rest of the weekend into Christmas Day.<br />
<br />
Little sucker made me do a scavenger hunt for my final gift. He is so creative! Much more creative than I am about gifts and such.<br />

I am soooo excited about baking and cooking with my new Professional Kitchen Aid Mixer!!!! Best husband ever!!!<br />
<br />
I somehow managed to hide a 90 lb. 5 Drawer Tool Cabinet in our garage under a blanket. He loved it! <br />

Ellie even loved her gift. She walked around the house with it in her mouth wagging her tail and "crying" because she was so excited! Too cute!<br />

Merry Christmas to all of you!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17700865605984939014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029372201792839114.post-37897358310635755502012-12-17T12:45:00.001-06:002012-12-17T12:45:21.319-06:00What Has To Change?<div style="text-align: justify;">
Warning - a little long winded, but I have a lot on my mind that I wanted to share.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been struggling a lot over the past few days trying to comprehend what has happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School (and all over our country this weekend). Those poor children and teachers that had to live through horror and evil. I can't make sense of it. I've cried a lot, I've been glued to the TV to try and understand what would make someone do such a horrible thing, especially to those that are so young, full of life and don't understand what evil really is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last night watching President Obama speak I thought about what I can do moving forward to help prevent this from happening again. I obviously know this wasn't my fault, but it truly can happen anywhere. The President made a comment along the lines of "what can we do as a nation to prevent this from happening? Are we doing enough to protect our children?" And before he said it, I thought to myself No, I could probably do more. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brian and I talked a lot about raising our children someday and the life that we want them to have, the values we want to instill in them...the values that were so important in our upbringing and what has made us who we are today....Faith in Christ, respect, honesty, love, thoughtfulness, dignity, compassion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But in my mind there is more we can do right now...we can set examples for people in our community, talk with the kids in our neighborhood, be a helping hand to those in need, be respectable, honest, loving people to everyone in our community, especially kids, to show them what being a loving, caring, respectable citizen is truly about. It doesn't matter what religion, race, ethnicity anyone is. We all have to live in this world and we all have to do our part to make it a healthy place, a place that we want our children to grow up in and live to be happy, healthy adults and have children of their own. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last night I had night mares about those kids and what they went through. No child should ever have to worry about real monsters in this world. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think its simple: Treat others as you want to be treated. It's sad that it takes horrible tragedy for people to "wake up" and realize that a law, or actions need to change. I think I am a respectable person, I care about my neighbors and my community, I look out for my family. But it wouldn't hurt if I did just a little bit more. Maybe its volunteering at a school, helping the homeless shelter once a month, spending more time with family, I don't know what it is exactly. I just feel like I need to do more, that I want to do more.</div>

I don't know if she will even see this, but Happy Birthday to my sister - Laur Laur!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her name is Lauren, but I have always called her "Laur Laur" or "LD". She is my best friend and I'm one lucky girl who has such a supportive and loving sister!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you will see by the pictures we don't really look a lot alike, but I promise, we are sisters...less than 2 years a part.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!</div>

Well, the hubby and I have been super busy, so I'll try to do a quick run down of life's events lately, but this post could get pretty long (and includes lots of pics). Enjoy!</div>

4.) Thanksgiving has already come and gone. Its my favorite holiday of the year and with the new job I just don't feel like I got to enjoy it as much as I like to. I had to work the Friday after, which I typically like to go shopping (call me crazy, but I love the hustle and bustle of Christmas time). That's ok - we were still able to spend some awesome time with our families. <br />

My best friend was in town two weekends ago. I think we crammed as many events into one weekend as humanly possibly, but it was A BLAST! Now I just need her to move back....</div>

K-State Homecoming Game on Saturday...which we won AGAIN! Still undefeated!!! I love my Wildcats! Plus, it was our ADPI Reunion weekend. Who knew...tailgates and babies instead of tailgates and too much beer! It was great to catch up with everyone!</div>

On top of all of the vents, Brian and I had family staying at our house and we got to baby sit our niece and nephew Saturday evening after the football games while Brian's brother and wife attended a wedding. I was asleep about 10 minutes after the kids went to sleep. Exhausted!<br />

Thank you to my dad, Kim and my sister for coming over today and helping us clean out our front garden. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>{And there is a ton more work to do, but 2 hours today was very helpful and productive.}</i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brian and I neglected our yard all summer and we are kinda paying for it now, but hey...new jobs, getting married, and painting the horrible colors in our house took priority. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The goal before winter comes is to clean out the garden beds, take care of the weeds, trim down the bushes and see what comes back in the Spring. Then, we'll start purchasing new plants, and making our yard look much prettier than it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

It is that wonderful time of year where the trees begin to change colors, football is always on the TV in our house, the air conditioning has been turned off and windows open (if my allergies aren't horrible). <br />
<br />
I have also used Pinterest as an inspiration source for some fall decorating ideas around the house and on our front porch. (please don't mind the horrible bushes, that is a project we need to begin soon).<br />
<br />
Here are a few shots of our fall decorating items around our household. <br />

Brian and I had our own personal tailgate...and by no means was it a healthy one...just some of our favorite tailgate items.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w234/sarahdorward/2012/IMG_1231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w234/sarahdorward/2012/IMG_1231.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And surprisingly we were both nice to each other during the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In case you were not aware, Brian went to KU and is a HUGE Jayhawk fan. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I went to K-State and am a HUGE wildcat fat. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are both competitive when it comes to our football and sports teams, but we were nice to each other this Saturday afternoon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love my husband. Even if he is a KU fan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our kitchen is pretty much done! Woohoo!! We can count one room off on our list of painting and making it ours.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, there was not a lot of hard demo-type work that had to be done, but painting and hanging pictures that fit Brian and I was on the top of the list.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I still have to add some nick knacks above the cabinets, but so far I haven't found anything that I like enough to put up there to fill the space. Brian doesn't think anything needs to go above the cabinet...so we are trying to find the right balance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyhoo...Here are a few pics of before:</div>

I got my computer back! Thank you Geek Squad at Best Buy!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He was able to restore my computer, put all of my pictures on DVD's and upload them back onto my computer! I forever owe him my life!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, maybe not my life, but my pictures are my life and I can't tell you how devastated I would be if I lost them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So...tonight I'm uploading them all to PhotoBucket so I never have to worry about where they are or if they get lost, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ahh, life is good again and I can begin uploading pics and blogging again about my boring little life that I love oh so much!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More pics on the house, wedding, honeymoon to come! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm back!! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well...I came to the conclusion last night that I much rather have a laptop over an iPAD.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
GASP! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know, I know not everyone would say that. It might be my inexperience with Apple products, but I am having such a hard time figuring out how to upload pictures to this blog (hence no posts recently), or to Facebook. There is no CD Drive for our engagement pictures to be viewed and you have to buy extra pieces of "equipment" for all "normal" functions of a regular old PC.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So...this weekend we are going back to Nebraska Furniture Mart to exchange our new iPAD for a new laptop so I can feel happy again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are reading this and have any quick advice in the next few days on what I may be doing wrong -- please please email me at <a href="mailto:sarah.dorward@gmail.com">sarah.dorward@gmail.com</a>! I will take all the help I can get! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Or might even be persuaded if I could just figure it out!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Posts of our house transformations to come soon! (I promise!)</div>

It was everything we could have asked for and more. <br />
<br />
Now I just wish I could go back and live it all over again! <br />
<br />
We left the Monday after our wedding and headed to the Dominican Republic. It was a place we would probably never go back to and we had an absolutely perfect time. <br />
* Beach<br />
* Pool<br />
* Continuous drinks with umbrellas and fruity flavors<br />
* Fun shows in the evening<br />
* 7 different restaurants on our resort<br />
* 24 Hour room service<br />
<br />
Enough talking...I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hi Everyone!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm back from my time away from the blogging world! I have missed catching up on friends' blogs, reading about new home decorating projects and now I can probably stop reading wedding blogs because I AM MARRIED!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A lot has happened over the past two months, and I probably can't take the time to fill you in on everything but here's the jist (sp?)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1.) New home w/ the new hubby</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2.) Started a new job</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.) Got married and we went to DR for our honeymoon (this will definitely be a post soon).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life is great. I'm soo incredibly happy, no more stress, just enjoying the time with Brian, learning my new job and RELAXING! I cannot tell you the last time I relaxed...took Ellie on a walk...watched TV for a full Saturday afternoon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm enjoying every minute of it! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More posts on wedding and honeymoon and updated house pictures to come. But for right now, I have to get to work! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have a great Thursday!!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17700865605984939014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029372201792839114.post-55431254257316245482012-06-20T15:16:00.000-05:002012-06-20T15:16:14.164-05:00I'm so sorry!<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have failed at posting anything about my life lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the past month I have...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1) started a new job</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2) moved to a new house and painted the entire first floor (well almost, we have 1 more coat of the entry room left)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3) 1 month out from my wedding - lots of planning and finishing things for the big day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm kinda stressed to be honest. I don't like to get stressed, I think it is a sign of weakness. (not for you, but for me). I like to be in control, to have everything in order, to do in my way (yes I know I sound like a b&*%) but I'm just a very anal person when it comes to my life and being in control of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm a control freak - there I admit it! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Right now I feel like I am going in 100 directions, I can't keep track of my to-do lists to keep track of to do lists, etc. So needless to say something had to give. That was my blog. After I get back from the honeymoon (Dominican Republic baaaabbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!!!!) I will update you on the house, my new job, life in general and start getting fun wtih this blog again! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I PROMISE!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17700865605984939014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029372201792839114.post-52252746308865775732012-05-31T19:57:00.002-05:002012-05-31T19:57:35.437-05:00Moving Day is Approaching!!!<div style="text-align: justify;">

We move a month from today! I am soo excited and have soo many plans to keep the house organized, clean and decorated. I can't wait to get started!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, our current house is in complete disarray. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't stand it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Boxes are now everywhere to start the packing process, our dining room has turned into an office and P90X workout station, and I don't think the laundry has been put away for over a week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh well. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life will move on...I will eventually be organized and put together in a house. Why...because I am not moving in a year!!!!! The first home I will own and I could not be more excited!</div>

I haven't totally failed, just feel like I've tripped on the steps and spilled my coffee kinda fail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I should blame Brian because we went to the Royals Game last night and I had to get up at 5:30am to drive back home to get ready for work, but I had a blast last night and our two tickets were less than $20 and they won!!! That's awesome!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So today, I get back home, park the car in the garage, and go upstairs. I need a 20 min. nap before showering and getting ready for work. I get ready, come back downstairs and realize my headlights are on...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and my car won't start.......<i>AWESOME!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I call a few girls I work with, ended up getting a ride to work. Great. Only kinda fail here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I get to work and really really really need a coffee and <b><span style="color: purple;">fail #2</span></b>, don't have cash or my debit card. I had to ask my co-workers for a few dollars so I could get some coffee.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then had to ask a friend/co-worker for money so I could eat lunch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

It's official. I have accepted a new job at the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City. After 4 1/2 years I will be leaving Payless and the retail world! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is a very bitter-sweet moment, but I am very excited for this new chapter in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have worked with some amazing people and grown in my career more than I could have ever asked for. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My last day at Payless will be around the 16th and then I will start at the Fed on May 21st. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kansas City here I officially come!!! New house, new home, new husband. Its a very exciting time right now and I can't wait for it all to start!</div>

Brian and I enjoyed a Friday night at home drinking some wine and grilling out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well that is until there were hurricane force winds running through Kansas and we could barely keep the grill lit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So we ordered pizza -- yes -- stuffed crust, multiple meats, yummy, delicious, way too many Weight Watchers Points -- pizza! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiITWrpbzMuX-UL4qiRTK7iSa06sJWb6AACwtDLMMCifnw-ms9CC2ME3wavqbDKI0ji6qD9_iJP0IK2TeS6ERLv1tV1iY5fSvMPzFrJnnJCZj2QOfJxJxcLEoe5nA8PSTW-TLrgzut7H9c/s1600/pizza.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiITWrpbzMuX-UL4qiRTK7iSa06sJWb6AACwtDLMMCifnw-ms9CC2ME3wavqbDKI0ji6qD9_iJP0IK2TeS6ERLv1tV1iY5fSvMPzFrJnnJCZj2QOfJxJxcLEoe5nA8PSTW-TLrgzut7H9c/s320/pizza.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
AND, WE FOUND A BED SPREAD at Pottery Barn. Shown <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/pb-classic-stripe-400-thread-count-duvet-cover-sham-sandalwood/?pkey=cstriped-duvet-covers-shams" target="_blank">here.</a> It was the original one we had picked out. I think we are going to accent it with some light blue colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm excited to be in our new home and to get it all set up with our wedding gifts and new items! </div>

This is the one piece of our registry I have been sooo frustrated with.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cannot find bedding that both Brian and I like. I ordered a duvet cover from pottery barn <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/alessandra-duvet-cover-sham-gray/?pkey=cpatterned-duvet-covers-shams">(shown here)</a> and it came in the mail and does not look like the muted grey/off white I was thinking it would be. Its more green and cream colored in person. Needless to say I'm not a fan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've looked at Bed, Bath and Beyond, Crate & Barrel, West Elm, Dillard's and Macy's ... still no luck.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm getting ready to just make my own!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyone have any ideas?!?!?</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17700865605984939014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029372201792839114.post-51973516389352059642012-04-22T20:12:00.003-05:002012-04-24T08:01:29.290-05:00A beautiful bridal shower<div style="text-align: justify;">
My mom's good friends - Jennifer, Shari & Deborah hosted a shower for me. It was beautiful as you will see from the pictures in a moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everything was thought of in such great detail -- beautiful place settings, fabulous food, a scrapbook, recipe cards, the list goes on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I feel so blessed and loved to have special people in my life who thought to do all of this for me. It was great to have family and friends with me today to share in this special time for Brian and I.</div>

Now what did you think I meant?!?!?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our annual kickball season started last night. It was a blast to get back together with my high school friends and other friends we have all picked up along the way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We lost, but to be perfectly honest we are not competitive at all. Its more about enjoying a few cold beverages and relaxing after a stressful week.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17700865605984939014noreply@blogger.com0
