It's here!

Oh Friday....I love you.

Just one more day of work before freedom....actually more work- but non weekday work doesn't have official deadlines- which makes it lovely. :)
Still been battling a little bit of this weird dizziness -particularly when I have to be on the computer for long but all in all WAY better than I was.
This week was the kickoff of graduation season. Starting last night and right now I'm 0-1 (graduation win) because I couldn't make it to last night's grad. I was so bummed bc I REALLY wanted to see this one! (*I adore the girl who was movin' on up!)

Outside of that- we have another wedding this weekend and some friends in from out of town for the weekend (non-related to the wedding) I'm SO happy to see them! We also, have an apartment to cleanup and AC to get fixed so that we can move back home. It's been a week since we've been at my in-laws and they're super great but I miss our place...and I bet they miss us being at our place ;)

Alot going on around here lately and alot on my mind that I'm avoiding publicly venting about- so it's hard for me to write. (haha)

What to say? What to say?- Oh I know - I need to confront an issue:



Dear Lost,

You let me down. I know everyone is trying to be positive and say that being "open to interpretation" was a perfect way to end things but I think thats baloney! To be honest, I didn't even watch all 6 seasons so I can't complain too much. I was a die hard season 1 & 2 but then you started adding unnecessary ruanchiness (I guess you couldn't think of how to try and top what you'd previously done) and I gave you up because you no longer seemed to know EXACTLY where your story was going. BUT I tuned back in for the last season because I had to know how you would bring it all back around and you kept promising me (via Lock in that dang commercial) that you would answer all my questions- and I believed you! Everyone can pretend that your "it is what you make of it" ending was a good thing but it was a cop out. The greatest thing about your show when it started was how elaborately detailed and perfectly linked together all of you facts were- and that's why were deserved an elaborately detailed explanation at the end. (let down) anyway, now that I realized I've been ranting for a whole paragraph I will drop the issue...especially because you MIGHT not read my blog. ;) so goodbye Lost...If you had ended better I would've missed you...or atleast respected you.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Sasser

Wow. I didn't know I had all that bottled up. (how nerdy!) Well, now that I got it off my chest it's time to hop to it!
Hope you have a great day- just keep in mind it's almost SATURDAY!!!! :)

Over the Hump

So, there is ALOT to do today- but I've hated not blogging so I must take a moment to hop on! :)

Quick week wrap up:
*AC broke at our apartment
*Spent a day unloading a friend who is home from college = realizing how bad I need to get back in the gym
*work work work
*Bobby got stomach virus on Wednesday
*I had it and was throwing up by 2AM Thursday night
*Emergency room on Friday
*Migrated to our in-laws from the hospital (because of issue #1)
*Katie moved to town on Monday! ;)
*Had my first good day yesterday
*Things are looking up!

That's the short version of whats been up!
What'd you say? Before I go you want to know my product of the day?

In honor of "sick breath" (that funky breath/taste you get when you're sick) ...or is that just me?

Viola!

The BEST- keep your breathe fresh ALL DAY- mouthwash ever!

Don't believe me? Try it! I'm telling you- this stuff gets rid of funkiness, dry mouth AND it folds your laundry for you! ....ok maybe not that last part- but wouldn't that be so great?! 
I've tried almost everything out there and this is my fav- it really does keep me close-talker safe all day :)

In other news: we have youth tonight! With Bobby and I being so sick we've felt like we are on another planet totally disconnected from what the rest of the world is doing. So, it'll be SO good to see other humans!
Well, gotta run for now but I hope you're having a 

WoNdErFuL WeDnEsDaY!!!

As Promised :)

**Disclaimer: I'm sorry I have disappeared I've been super ill and totally out of it- but today is a special day  and here is a special post as promised to a special friend** (all in purple- because it's so Katie)

KATIE (soon to be) Burke

How I wish I had a picture of the day we met on the first day of school 8 years ago...and a picture of your old overalls and butterfly shirt. (haha)
I'm so glad you're finally marrying Aaron! (I'd like to point out that I've been pushing this for 7 years now) So glad you're moving here. So glad you're making my quality of life better. For those of you who don't know Katie- let me briefly tell you about her:




always alot of things that I need more pictures for ;) (I had to steal all these form the internet) She's one of my favorite people to be around and I'm so glad she's going to be back in my world! (*now we just have to convince Rachel to move too) ;)

Anyway, I said all that to say- I love you and I'm glad you're finally here!!!

Stopping Point

Well, I was working- but I'm stuck for a moment- which is perfect because I need a mental break.
Guess what: The server is loading my pics again! YAY! So....the lock-in for our youth was a week ago but here is a brief summary in pics :) (I had some issue re-sizing pics- so some are a little fuzzy)












It was a long and great night. Lots of food, talks, games and energy drinks! Oh and an awesome testimony from 


Katie Williams....she's "the jam" 

Every time she gives her testimony I tear up! It's crazy to think that God would let me (& Bobby) have ANY part in her story. 
Yep...she's amazing! :)

Anyway, this week has been crazy...the Sasser house has been stricken with illness. (Dramatic?) haha. I was sick and just when I started to get better- Bobby was sent home from work yesterday with some kind of stomach issue. (I'll spare you the details) AND we had to miss youth. ((bummed)) BUT he's doing better today and so am I. Ready to put all this sick business behind us and hop into our summer schedule! WOOHOO!!!!

Well, theres more to write but no time for now. Catch ya soon!

SMILE ~ it's almost fRiDaY!!!!

Bummed

So, I have all these pics I want to post from the Lock-In that we had with out students last night and all these other things but the blogger server is having picture issues? :( Oh well, save them for another time.....

So...what's new with YOU?  :)

Sweet Girl

One of our AMAZING middle schoolers (Tiffany Lakatos) picnik'd this pic from our engagement shoot today and I love it! 



Bobcat is our "celebrity couple" name. haha 

SEE! (haha)

THANKS TIFFY!!!

Just thought I'd share....what's your celebrity couple name?





BETTER!

I'm finally starting to feel better this morning! I have ALOT to do for work today and tonight is mexican night according to our weekly meal plan (which is a part of that whole get things in order thing) **gotta get it together! ;)
Then tonight Bobby has 2 softball games- so a pretty full day and I don't guess I'll get to layout, like I hoped, because I'm already off to a late start for the day. ...gotta stop staying up until 2:30 in the morning! What's wrong with me?! :0O

Product of the day: MAry Kay Bronzer...have I mentioned that I sell Mary Kay? Well, I do. (I'll post the link in the sidebar too when I get a chance) Anyway, I'm not much of a seller- more of someone who is available to order through. I really should do more with it because they do have some really great stuff that I'd recommend! ANYWAY, back to the bronzer (& no I'm not just saying this because I sell it) 
Mary Kay bronzer....how I love thee. It is the perfect color for ANY skin tone because it's a mosaic. It makes the most sleepy of faces look alive and sunkissed. It's a staple item for me. Yup....it's awesome.

Anyway, I seriously have to run!
 Busy day...but no matter how busy you are- don't fret- remember: things could be worse!....




HAPPY ALMOST FRIDAY!!!!

Home Sick

So, I'm on day 3 of being sick- but I think I'm on my way to better. :) BUT I had to miss church tonight :(
It was the last night for our good friend Jacob....aka THIS GUY

**the skillz to pay the billz**

*He's basically one of my favorite people on the planet. Just super sincere- it's so refreshing to be around!


In other news, I just found out that my sister and her family are coming down to Florida for a visit in July!!!!


Which means: I get to cross #7 off my LIST!!!


I can't wait!!!! Anyway, not a whole lot to say since I've just been sick at home....product of the day?
Since I've been in bed or on the couch for most of the past 3 days, the most effort I've put in to looking cute for the hubs is this lip balm. But the great thing about it is that it not only livens up my face in a subtle way but it's a colored BALM which means it makes me look AND FEEL good- taking care of the usual dry lips I get when I can't breathe out of my nose! (haha)
*It comes in handy when you're not sick too....flattering for all stages of wellness! ;)

Well, the hubs just got back from church so I think I'll hop off and cuddle up with him for some netflix!

Explosions

OH MY....interesting couple of days.
We went out on the water with our leadership team on Saturday and had a blast!
Not necessarily our best pic...but hey- we were tired after staying up all night and being on the water all afternoon! :)

We are missing a few people here- one of them being the youth pastor (who must've taken that last pic)

that's more like it!

Anyway, we had a great time and went to dinner with some good friends to dinner that night for Tammy's birthday. On the way there I had tammy and her 2 amazing kids in the car....who were all infected with some kind of sinus infection. The whole ride she was apologizing for any potential contagiousness- to which I replied "no worries- I'll pop some vitamin c!" ...I forgot to pop the vitamin C.
Bobby and I are both sick- BUT not so sick we can't function-which is good- but sick enough to feel like my head is going to explode! Oh well, it'll pass....right?!

Gearing up for a busy month, lockin at the end of this week which kicks off the downward spiral into a parade of high school graduations that are coming up...and I wouldn't have it any other way! So proud of our students....it's been amazing to stand back and watch them change...oh I sound so old! ;)

In other news, my infectious friend Tammy thinks I should write a beauty blog...because I'm so full of semi-useless random facts and tips- but I'm a little hesistant... 
So, I say we vote: Item of the day at the end of each post or whole posts committed to specific beauty tips methods or products?

Speaking of which, my item for today:
hhmmm....got it!

I got hooked on this last summer after a tip from my sister...I fell in love! (somehow I feel like I've suggested this before but I can't find the post) ANYWAY, this claims to make your legs softer and it does but what I love is that it actually makes your hair grow more slowly! (they don't advertise this- but I'm telling you IT DOES!) I love it! You've got to adjust if you've been a shave gel user because this doesn't lather- so you've got to learn how much you really need. Try- you'll thank me later!


Well, gotta run...time to get dinner on & feed this guy:



HaPpY TuEsDaY

Swagger Wagon

Busy week....I want to go here:




Leaders meeting tonight and a day on the water tomorrow! (YAY)
Mental break time!...this was so funny to me :)


"chill the yoo-hoos!"


Oh and product of the day: Kenra hairspray!!!!


If your hair is fine like mine and you just need something thats super light and helps keep things under control...it's "the jam" ;) (just sayin')




Hope everyone had a great week and now it's time for the WEEKEND!!!!!!

give and take

Phew! Crazy couple of weeks!
I've been feeling like a fire woman lately...putting out lots of little fires & taking things as they come.
Is that a weird analogy?
I've got to get some time alone with my maker... time to refuel. I feel like I've poured out 'til empty! I'm in need of a refill!!!
BUT I'm SO excited about the GREAT things God is doing!....(((sigh)) that guy never seizes to amaze me!

Well, just checkin' in...it's about 1AM and we just got in about half an hour ago. Bobby is already sound asleep...gonna try and be more like him ;)

GOODNIGHT!

Randomness

So, the sun came back today!
& I've been staring out our door and taking pictures with my phone...trying to get work done quickly so I can be out there! :)


Bobby made breakfast this morning with what he could find in the fridge...I really need to do groceries! But it was still good- He's so good to me  (I know I know- so mushy!) ;)



I've also spent a good bit of time on THIS this week
Ikea makes me dream of cooking in huge well organized kitchens!

There has been alot of dog talk around the house lately...I really want (and Bobby says we may get) THIS one:

(I'm in LOVE!!!)

But i not- I have 2 backups from the humane society...



They would both be cute if we let their fur grow & we would be saving doggy lives....but I confess...I'm holding out for my first pick!!! oh so cute!....Bobby says she's not manly enough. haha I want her- I need a house buddy while I'm here working all the time! :) Speaking of work- time to get back to it!

HaPpY TuEsDaY!!!

PS

Did I mention that I've been talking with the woman who runs the women's ministry at Hillsong Church in Australia. Yup- I'm pretty pumped! I love just about everything they do with their girls their- it gets me motivated. We have a skype date next week and I just know I'll make a fool out of myself because I have a problem with accents. I pick them up in .5 seconds. Supposedly  it's s a sign of being good with languages...but sometimes it feels like a curse!  (haha) Anyway, I think it'll be good. I'll let ya know afterwards if I make  total fool of myelf! ;)
*wish me luck!

Rainy days...

So, I wasn't feeling well AT ALL today...it was pretty terrible actually. (but I'll spare you the details)
Atleast it was rainy- so I didn't feel like I was missing out on a beautiful day. I had to take off work because up until now....(which is midnight) I haven't even been able to sit up and use the computer!

I have nothing particularly exciting to say. ;)
It's been pouring rain all day...the pool is overflowing. The oil spill is headed our way....which I'm really hoping by some miraculous intervention WON'T happen!
AND....well...I got nothin' (haha)

ooh- just kidding- product recommendation time!!!
I pride myself on being a very open person when it comes to beauty tips- so before you skip over this next one (because it's a little random) read on! :)

MONISTAT SOOTHING CARE GEL

True the name seems really intimidating and not like something you necessarily want to pick up and read at the store- BUT I will tell you that I have very sensitive skin and this not only helps me with any skin irritation and/or treats the heat rash my husband sometimes gets on his legs, BUT it ALSO doubles as an AMAZING makeup primer. I know- random right?- Now, I don't wear primer on a regular basis because I don't wear foundation or concealer on a regular basis HOWEVER when I do- (I learned this trick from some makeup guru) this is a GREAT dup for some of the expensive primers they sell at SEPHORA (which, in case you didn't know, is like makeup and beauty heaven!) and it comes at a MUCH better price! Don't beleive me? TRY IT OUT! It's like the all purpose quick fix cream! 

Anyway, That's my random fact for the day...now I'm off to get a jump start on work so I don't feel overwhelmed tomorrow!!!!

HIDE and go seek

Did ya miss me? It's been a busy week!
We went and visited my sister for a day last week. (you can view the pics here)
Then....I don't know what happened to the rest of the week!? LIFE....I guess. :)
I made this (unfinished) promo video for our girls ministry




Worked all week. Had a movie night last night. We watched Bella. Good movie....deep. But good. (only watch it if you're in that kind of mood! haha

Bobby cleaned our kitchen while I was out with our girls. He's so amazing.
Our kitchen was starting to look a bit like a third world country! (no really) So, I'm very thankful that he was willing to spend his friday night on that while I was busy setting myself up for a sugar hangover!

Anyway, I'm now half way through Saturday, with lots to do and not alot of time to do it. Which means I need to hop off again.
Marriage seminar tomorrow followed by a visit with my hairdresser. (she's magical) 

In other news: Bobby has been playing in the church league and their team is kicking some booty!
(that's my man!) ;)



HAPPY SATURDAY!
