November!

Let's see... what's happened in the last few months...

Well first, we upgraded to Wii Fit Plus which is basically the same as Wii Fit only 10 times better. It's got a ton of new stuff and kept all our old stats. :) Love it.

I finally beat Kingdom Hearts. :D Now I'm attempting Chain of Memories. But it's all kinds of screwy. Not too far into it. Hopefully it's not too long of a game or Dev's going to catch up. o.O

I've been watching Friends a lot to try and finish it. Got through season 6 and put in disc 25 but instead of playing season 7, it played season 2 of Gilmore Girls. ?!?!?! yeah. Had a nice chat with Warner Brothers. We're in the process of an exchange.

Last Sunday we went to the AZ State Fair and I got to meet Peter Facinelli (Dr Carlisle Cullen in Twilight)!!! Sweetest guy. Even sexier in real life. ;) Pics up on Facebook. <3 font="">

Halloween. Not too eventful. Dressed up in some big poofy medieval dress, Jesse was Batman, Josh P was Spiderman and Marla was Wonder Woman. We went trick or treating. lol Jesse had the bag. Then we hung out across the street for a bit with some foreign exchange students from Australia, France and China. It was their first Halloween so it was really interesting. I hung out with Perry for a bit (from Australia), she was dressed as Mrs Krueger. Then Jesse came back from the house in his Freddy Krueger costume so they got a pic together. Brandon and Josh S came over in their Michael and Jason costumes and all three of them were scaring the girls because they wouldn't talk. lolz. ah.. good times.

Mixed Emotions

Okay, so I haven't updated in a while because there was so much going on, I didn't know what to talk about. I'll make it simple and post more in my family blog later.

On June 4, my Grandpa Wilsey passed away. He was suffering from congestive heart failure for 12 years and though I'm sad he's left us, I'm happy he is no longer suffering. Here's the slideshow I made to show at the funeral::

I love you Grandpa. ♥

Temporary grave marker and flowers

And now for something related to this blog, I completed the Wii challenge. :) Here's the proof::

Twitter

The latest trend I've been conned into is Twitter.  I didn't really think it would be all that great, just something to try cuz I was bored, but I actually really like it. The only downside is that no one I know uses twitter. So... join up and make me happy. :)

I've also added Shelfari to my blog. it's over there -->

It's basically my bookshelf. Most of the books I've read or books that I own. Unfortunately it makes me realize how few books I've actually read. But it also gives me the motivation to keep reading! yay.

Pampered Chef

Recently, I've become a little obsessed with Pampered Chef. It's so AWESOME. Brittany had a party last week and I booked one for Wednesday night so I could get free product. ;) Even though technically only 1 person showed up to my party, it still turned out pretty well. It was me and Jesse, Derrick and Brittany (well, it was at their house...), and Mom. Edith always makes it super fun though. :) Plus it was good training for Brittany who is going to sign up to be a consultant soon. But the BIGGEST shock of all had to be... after the show when Jesse decided he wanted to DO THIS. He signed up to be a Pampered Chef consultant that night. I still can't believe it. But I'm SO HAPPY. Now I don't have to do it right away like I was thinking. I really just don't have the time. Plus it's some extra income and Jesse gets to fulfill his need for culinary in his life. :)

Now, if anyone wants to be TOTALLY AMAZING, go to www.pamperedchef.biz/edithfoster, check out the products, and if you likie (and you will mucho likie), place an order and put me (Kristi Jenkins) in as the host! :) Orders to help me out end Saturday night. And I don't care if you spend $3 or $300. We all have our budgets. ;)

Happy New Year!

Wow, it's already 2009. crazy crazy. So I start my new job (medical billing) next week. I guess I'm starting out on phones at an office while I'm training so I'll slowly work my way up to billing from home. yay!

So a new year means new resolutions, right? Well, I resolve to budget my money better. I've recently gotten into a website, mint.com, that allows me to view all of my spending on one really awesome and easy to navigate page (with tabs). So we've created a budget to start this month and if we stick to it, we should have plenty of money left over to keep in savings and then up some credit card payments next month. Plus we finally started putting stuff on eBay and that's working out really well so far.

My second resolution is to really start working on these goals of mine. As you can see, I've been slacking a bit. I blame holidays. Because I can. ;)
