He took me to see the Spurs and Suns basketball game tonight. What a blast! It was so cool he did this. It's funny because weeks leading up to my birthday; I was asking him what should we do any ideas? He's like no, not really. So I was getting bummed out. A company that he orders parts from for work has season tickets to the Suns. So Scott, about a month before Christmas asked he could get the tickets for Suns/Spurs game for his wife's birthday. The guy said he would try but there would be no guarantee. So a few weeks before my birthday, the tickets were on his desk at work. He was pretty excited; he told me that night, he can't keep a secret from me to save his life!! It's funny and I use it to my benefit at times. :) Here are a few pictures from the game.<br /><br />By the way, Spurs won 114 to 104. The people all around us were definitely not a fan of me cheering for the Spurs. I didn't care, GO SPURS GO!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDr7ayIzB-PfzvHe1a85nW2e5zWIIWQm6-w3LpIeuF8d78Iz_MCYz82pxa5U7jZUpg8RE_ndJrHV71Vu-0DBLJV9vQhE4jvwvKO5Tkh6CquBMFsbyTZE3ICFF9s_ho7jPVtUYNhR8iSwvq/s1600-h/RO06179+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297103217616599314" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDr7ayIzB-PfzvHe1a85nW2e5zWIIWQm6-w3LpIeuF8d78Iz_MCYz82pxa5U7jZUpg8RE_ndJrHV71Vu-0DBLJV9vQhE4jvwvKO5Tkh6CquBMFsbyTZE3ICFF9s_ho7jPVtUYNhR8iSwvq/s320/RO06179+004.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Our seats were great<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgki7c5E7frVLDM7u3X7dD3tfhZe6Ga4VGpYZTDPXhWvaoSO53592qNOOlUwfFX8Gpi3DhC9P6pt3rkoWmdf5XcENTfX_Mj2tqt3AgoKGV6iNMJRpm-xW30jTS20Qmnp_pkowOd7hFtYyJa/s1600-h/RO06179+031.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297103884535105906" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgki7c5E7frVLDM7u3X7dD3tfhZe6Ga4VGpYZTDPXhWvaoSO53592qNOOlUwfFX8Gpi3DhC9P6pt3rkoWmdf5XcENTfX_Mj2tqt3AgoKGV6iNMJRpm-xW30jTS20Qmnp_pkowOd7hFtYyJa/s320/RO06179+031.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQrLRg0SM1yQT7M3LuvlmeOv0NKndspfKGueLgOlAJCsmYGEIfoLGcQuB0c_RKqmILBxogribQn0XVAe3za_oawn_xc1tz8nHWPgOul7jekX2OrzFr2cFmnSx7zvikMT3_2YisLsH6JwMv/s1600-h/RO06179+025.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297103475077868466" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQrLRg0SM1yQT7M3LuvlmeOv0NKndspfKGueLgOlAJCsmYGEIfoLGcQuB0c_RKqmILBxogribQn0XVAe3za_oawn_xc1tz8nHWPgOul7jekX2OrzFr2cFmnSx7zvikMT3_2YisLsH6JwMv/s320/RO06179+025.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz13peizSZHTAE_l8eJgPXYYlXdD63d8vcEbXiT4F-lw3eIQPndYhR8fNm5_-VBStyhDwO0xPC7yAm6WQA1OYtDgMzya4NwC9Pyim7jjisUSR11mnJGV3ctoxuRfYWYxIgVOk6Dy3-1E4t/s1600-h/RO06179+028.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297103640558397154" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz13peizSZHTAE_l8eJgPXYYlXdD63d8vcEbXiT4F-lw3eIQPndYhR8fNm5_-VBStyhDwO0xPC7yAm6WQA1OYtDgMzya4NwC9Pyim7jjisUSR11mnJGV3ctoxuRfYWYxIgVOk6Dy3-1E4t/s320/RO06179+028.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The half time show was pretty cool.

Outdoor spaces are becoming more of outdoor living rooms and living areas. It's an extension of your house. The chanderliers are made out of paper clips. What a cool idea. The "screen" in the back, hanging, are bamboo places mats strung together. She has some great crative ideas. Also, putting curtains outside softens the space up. I'll be doing similar things to our outdoor space.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0U_U5PD1Sc5qfcw3JBFM0yZbbAlZq7JPqfFcJBQmpVAdaZNjUJRDxQyadayuWx_vw3mALf0ts4OGbQT0UIbbu2dlEBmmyEBxAewxA6Q4Z4FCs9JjYT1DPWWXEWxEk7PbpkA62zj-F_wMj/s1600-h/6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294538562704191026" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0U_U5PD1Sc5qfcw3JBFM0yZbbAlZq7JPqfFcJBQmpVAdaZNjUJRDxQyadayuWx_vw3mALf0ts4OGbQT0UIbbu2dlEBmmyEBxAewxA6Q4Z4FCs9JjYT1DPWWXEWxEk7PbpkA62zj-F_wMj/s320/6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Here is the color combo of yellow, blue and orange.

The Professor was interesting. A little hard to understand him, no idea where he's from. He at least trys to make some jokes during class. Made me smile a few times. We're there from 7:15-9:55. What a drag. Class is so long because it only meets once a week. The lab for the class is the same length. I didn't get home til about 10:30 last night, and after I played with Sofi for a little, I didn'd end up in bed til 11:15. Of course, when I got home, Scott was playing playstation and was on the phone with Brad, while he too was playing. It's kind of neat, you can play online against anyone around the world.<br /><br />The class is a Biology class. My favorite subject (there's sarcasim in there). I met a few girls who want to put a study group together, that'll be a big help for me. Plus, it'll help keep me motivated as well. So, so far so good. I just need to keep my eye on the light at the end of the track.Jennifer and Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895245321676386374noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547422814812838271.post-87979434371515049192009-01-21T07:50:00.003-07:002009-01-21T07:53:56.243-07:00Sofi Lancaster<div>We have a new edition to our Lancaster Bungalow.

He gets a little too rough from time to time, but for the most part, they enjoy playing with each other. She has the sharpest teeth and nails right now. I have a nice scratch to prove it. She's a very calm girl, but she gets very excited when Scott and I come home from work. She loves to snuggle and she is curious about everything right now. How can you resist this face?</div>Jennifer and Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895245321676386374noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547422814812838271.post-69741881654059916462009-01-20T08:46:00.000-07:002009-01-20T09:04:59.101-07:00What do you want to be when you grow up?I don't think I've ever really liked this question, because every time I was asked this question, I never knew the answer. I always assumed that getting a degree in business would be fine, just get that, have something, and at least that's a degree that you can take anywhere with you and you can get almost any job with it. Especially the way the economy is now, having a degree or a trade of some sort is necessary and definitely a must have. Even before the economy took a nose dive, employers want education AND experience. Before, many employers were willing to train you and you could ultimately move up in the company. If you want to make a decent paycheck now a days, you better have a minimum of a bachelors.<br /><br />I was recently researching jobs on the internet and I came across Nursing. I never even contemplated this job before, but the more I started to read about it, the more I became interested in it. It is one of the most demanded jobs and they are always under staff. Now, read between the lines, and that basically means long hours and possibly overtime. But hey, we don't have kids, Scott usually works til 8, 9 sometimes at night and always works Saturdays. And sometimes, not often, he goes in on Sundays. Nurse schedules are also very flexible. If you work for a hospital, they're open 24/7, all kinds of shifts are available. There are soooo many departments in the hospital, so many different types of nurses. You have management in nursing. There's a million directions you could go with this job. The pay is really decent as well. Of course you have to look at that factor. Nurses start at about 40, 50K a year and can advance all the way up to 160k+. That's quite a range. Nurses also make more when they work nights and holidays. It's really a great career just because there are so many directions you can go in it, and every day is completely different. You see different people each day. And what a joy it is to go home knowing you made a difference in someone's life on a day to day basis. The more I talk about it, the more I get excited about it.<br /><br />Scott is taking me to talk to his friends mother, who's a nurse, and has been for several years. She's very excited about us coming over and sharing her experiences and honestly talking to me about what I’m getting into. Being able to talk to her and ask her all my questions is definitely a plus.<br /><br />So far, the majority of people that I have shared my interest in nursing with was a little shocked at first. I guess I totally blindsided them with this since for the last few months all I have been talking about is becoming a wedding planner. I am still very much interested in owning my own venue one day. Realistically, Scott and I can't afford something that dramatic anytime in the future and I'm completely fine with that. Owning my own business, my own wedding venue, sounds like a great retirement plan. Most people who retire today still either work or do something on the side. Scott's probably going to want to own his own body shop, or build cars for fun after her retires and weddings will always have my interest. My dream for owning my own wedding venue has not been forgotten about, just put on hold for now. I'll come back to that when I'm ready for it.Jennifer and Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895245321676386374noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547422814812838271.post-33639988919081238892009-01-20T08:39:00.000-07:002009-01-21T07:49:45.851-07:00Say I Do WeddingsWe had our first Bridal Show January 10th and 11th. It was such a great turn out. We met a lot of brides and we handed out a couple thousand business cards and postcards. We got such great feedback on our booth design. Everyone absolutely loved it. Plus, we colored coordinated with it, and that was the icing on the cake. We had a few bumps getting ready for the show, but everything worked out in the end. We're looking forward to our June show. Our website mimics our booth. You can check it out. It's in the beginning stages, but we're happy we have something on the web. <a href="http://www.sayidoweddingsaz.com/">http://www.sayidoweddingsaz.com/</a><br /><br />Here's our booth<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXCa4RBbxuiJBm8wFZjIfO2Nc44YPUi77BgXYj-UAuZMSA4Ndm71HTPZg5tY4SS25SRrZF6PeAqLAB5J8tXPL-pnWI3bAzutjibcsCRYssOrTEPcy1yXLgUSGZkg0sw0PRn-8nKzuliOeb/s1600-h/1+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293758741993460482" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXCa4RBbxuiJBm8wFZjIfO2Nc44YPUi77BgXYj-UAuZMSA4Ndm71HTPZg5tY4SS25SRrZF6PeAqLAB5J8tXPL-pnWI3bAzutjibcsCRYssOrTEPcy1yXLgUSGZkg0sw0PRn-8nKzuliOeb/s320/1+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFa_NuYSHq3wnQUmwpt3VjJiZ7kikIyKyiYynGg3CHJbOCiyGCimhFy3QzJzJqN-vVeBel5585Nln23iM7gqtzH_eYUa9lmaAwYeZarpxvg8C1fJezyh_12koMizDapM0yGSVHVW5bUykn/s1600-h/1+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293758810551468226" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFa_NuYSHq3wnQUmwpt3VjJiZ7kikIyKyiYynGg3CHJbOCiyGCimhFy3QzJzJqN-vVeBel5585Nln23iM7gqtzH_eYUa9lmaAwYeZarpxvg8C1fJezyh_12koMizDapM0yGSVHVW5bUykn/s320/1+002.jpg" border="0" /></a>Jennifer and Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895245321676386374noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547422814812838271.post-19976521333774120782009-01-20T08:05:00.000-07:002009-01-20T08:39:15.123-07:00It's been a while<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Sorry it's been a while since I was last here. We've had a lot going on in these past few months. Christmas was great. We had a house full of people. I enjoyed playing hostess and showing off the house. Christmas day we had everyone over and we decided to have a white elephant gift exchange. If you're not familar with what that is I'll tell you. Each person brings a gift, wrapped up and puts all the gifts in a pile. Everyone draws a number and that determines which order you get to pick a gift and then you go in sequence. The person who drew number "1" gets to take the first pick out of the pile of gifts. The person who drew number "2" has the option of picking a new gift to open, or can steal the gift from number "1". If they decide to steal the gift, then number "1" gets to open a new gift. It continues until everyone has opened a gift. At the end, the person who drew number "1" has the option to keep the gift they have or trade with someone else. It's a lot of fun. I threw in a new idea and we had a gift called "the cow pattie". It was a gift wrapped up in the pile of gifts, an extra gift, in the shape of a cow pattie. The person who opens that gift, gets the ultimate last pick, even after the number "1" picks for the last time. Everyone had a lot of fun and seemed to enjoy it.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0QUfWhaj0uNl-YarHrgP5KykQ1FJjaS2eiMeqatAN5Xwd-CFoObxdJR5XofAcXs2gU22yiwcVagA6hNVQi4hCvbhBs39l9VHDqtsh98tMKTCUK5wKtWQ9K3h22ZON7-XN_HJEnJGIi9OR/s1600-h/100_1990.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293398146289143522" style="FLOAT: left;

A lot more room out there for entertaining. Now we just need to get some patio furniture and decorate a little bit. We also plan on adding anther patio cover as well.<br /><br /><a href="http://s369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/?action=view&current=100_1813.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 188px" height="349" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/100_1813.jpg" width="490" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/?action=view&current=100_1814.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 373px; HEIGHT: 225px" height="327" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/100_1814.jpg" width="388" border="0" /></a>Jennifer and Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895245321676386374noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547422814812838271.post-37951247628646530862008-11-30T09:49:00.000-07:002008-11-30T10:29:09.936-07:00New TruckIt's been a while since i've last logged on. Wanted to share pictures of our new truck we got a few weeks ago.<br /><br />It's a 2004 GMC 1500 Lots of cool upgrades. It's got a 6 inch lift and 35in tires. Luckily there's nurf bars on the side to help me get in.<br /><br /><a href="http://s369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/?action=view&current=100_1810.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 452px; HEIGHT: 313px" height="383" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/100_1810.jpg" width="509" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/?action=view&current=100_1811.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 446px; HEIGHT: 308px" height="314" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/100_1811.jpg" width="461" border="0" /></a>Jennifer and Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895245321676386374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547422814812838271.post-37704914714451876942008-11-05T19:24:00.000-07:002008-11-05T19:56:15.302-07:00We Got Trees!When we bought our house, our front yard was landscapped desert style, but our backyard was all dirt. It's definitely going to take time for what we want to do, but we got started. Over the weekend, the nearby nursery was having a huge sale trying to get rid of their tress, so everything was 50% off. We got 3 tress for a little over $500. Not a bad deal. All three tress have a growth of about 5-6 feet per year! Here's a few before and after shots.<br /><br />We want to add a raised planter in each back corner, put some mini palm tress and a few plants and flowers and add a few lighs to add some drama. We also want to add another slab of concrete to our exsisting patio to double the size for our entertaining. <br /><br /><a href="http://s369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/?action=view¤t=100_1796.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/100_1796.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/?action=view¤t=100_1803.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/100_1803.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/?action=view¤t=100_1800.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/100_1800.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/?action=view¤t=100_1804.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/100_1804.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/?action=view¤t=100_1800.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/100_1800.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/?action=view¤t=100_1805.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo137/Jblancaster0708/100_1805.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Jennifer and Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895245321676386374noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547422814812838271.post-23507910750042747402008-11-05T18:52:00.000-07:002008-11-05T19:23:35.428-07:00HalloweenHere's a couple pictures from our Halloween.

I found it on a photographers website and they had it as background music. I loved this song but they didn' have the artist name listed or the song title. I searched for days until I found it.

Looks promising, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'll know by the end of the week. It's tough out there if you're trying to find a new job. I quit my last job without having another one lined up which was a risk, but Scott assured me that we would financially be fine until I found a job. </div>
<br /><div> </div>
<br /><div>The job is nothing fancy, just a typical receptionist job. But it's exactly what I was looking for ... Monday-Friday, 40 hours a week, and no weekends. It's a steady job, great company, and with all the benefits. Once I get a job, I can focus getting my business going. </div>
<br /><div> </div>
<br /><div>Let's hope that I come bearing good news on Friday.</div>Jennifer and Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895245321676386374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547422814812838271.post-47907096337709176352008-11-04T01:46:00.000-07:002008-11-04T17:54:38.911-07:00Welcome to blogging<div><font face="">For as much of a computer guru that I am, I'm sad to say this is my first blog spot.
