MIA

Sorry Guys, I'm going to be MIA for the next few weeks due to grad school.  I'm into my summer classes and they are pretty intense.  I'm talking one semester of classes squeezed into 8 days for the first class and 7 days for the second class.  It's pretty tough and I'm just trying to get through! So, have no fear, I will be back! 

I'll be back to post baby updates and belly pics, so stay tuned.  Hope to make it back by the end of June! :-)

Hope you're enjoying your summer!

Changes are a comin!

Good changes that is..... :-)  I have a secret, do you want to know what it is?  We've taken our time in deciding when the "perfect" time would be to share this big change coming to our lives.  Hubby is thrilled and I am beyond excited.  We don't know what we've quite gotten ourselves into yet, but we're ready to take on the challenge. 

We're pregnant!!! :-) Due mid Dec.!! 

As exciting this time is in our lives, we feel for those who yearn for what we've finally been blessed with.  We've had a couple bumps in the road to get where we are today and I will pray for all of you who are still trying to conceive.  It will happen and God determines the timing for everything.  

Happy Thursday!  I'm officially (by Doctor's dates) 12 weeks today!  Almost out of that pesky 1st trimester! Keep us in your prayers that all goes well for the next week or two (as I think we're actually a week behind the doctors predictions).

Thank you CSN!

The lovely people at CSN contacted me about doing a product review and I said H-to the YES!  I would love to pick out my own product, try it out and let all of you know how amazing it is!

I choose to do my review on this Cuisinart Round Classic Waffle Maker!  I mean, come on... Who doesn't love Waffles???

It came in the mail just a few days ago and I am O so excited to try it out! So, stay tuned for a review on this lovely Waffle maker.... (I may or may not gain a few lbs during this product review as I love me some waffles)

Have a great short 4 day week!

Well, here we are again!

I'm so sorry, but as of late.. I guess I've only been posting about our weekends or the fact that I'm very excited because it's Friday!  I'll try to get out of that habit soon, I've just been crazy busy finishing up at work.  This is officially my last full week of work and I have one day left!

Why one day you might ask?  Well heck, I wanted to get paid for The Memorial Day holiday, so I said I'd work through June 1st! :-) Sneaky sneaky huh?  Why not get paid for another 8 hours?!? 

Anyway, I should be able to post more after next Tuesday!  I'm hoping to share a whole lot more about what's been going on over here with our house, life, etc.. I do start class on June 7th, so that may take me away from time to time, but I promise to update often! 

Thanks for sticking with me during this rocky month.  I've been a bad blogger and I hope to be back soon!

On another note, I just want to say that I'm very happy and proud of my very own Hubby!  He got a promotion last week and I could not be more excited for him!( And talk about good timing when my job is ending on June 1st!)  So, way to go hubby!  You're such a hard worker and I truly appreciate everything you do!

Have a wonderful LONG holiday weekend! :-) Be sure to thank those who are the reason for this amazing holiday!

Weekend Recap

As you may have noticed, we have a very busy summer, filled with weddings, showers, etc...   Well, this weekend kicked off another stint of weddings for us.

Hubby was not able to attend because he had a bachelor party for a good friend.  So, I went stag, well not really.  I attend the wedding with my parents and my future SIL, as my brother was in the wedding. 

It was definitely my kind of wedding! I kid you not, the actual wedding ceremony was about 8 minutes long, no joke!  It was even shorter than mine and mine was only about 12 minutes... We like to get to the point people :-) 

The wedding was Saturday, so I stayed at my parents and headed back home Sunday early afternoon.  Hubby had already beaten me home from his bachelor party and boy did he look like death.  He was napping on the couch and I think it was a combination of a hangover and sun poisoning.  I'll have to get some pictures for you tonight, but this boy was BURNT to a crisp!  His ankles looked like that of a lobster, I swear. They went golfing on Saturday and it was the hottest day we've had yet.  I double checked with him that he packed his sunscreen, he did not, so I told him I packed it for him.  However; I guess I was not there to remind him to put it on (side note:  hubby is white, pale and NEVER tan...)  So, what happened? He forgot. He stood out in the 80 degree heat and sun, golfing during the prime time of the sun, 11am-4pm to be exact.  I bet he regrets it now!

We're not the type of couple that goes out every weekend and drinks a lot.  Actually, we're more of the home-body type of couple that only ventures out on the weekend nights once in a great while to indulge in a couple drinks.  Rarely do we feel sick the next day, but sometimes it gets the best of us.  And this was one of those weekends for hubby.  He tried to keep up with the "big dogs" and wasn't feeling so hot all day Sunday.  In fact, he wasted the entire day on the couch! uggg I hate when that happens.

I felt rather good on Sunday :-)  I got my grocery shopping done and then wasted part of the day as well.  It was far too humid outside to do anything.  I have yet to get my gardening done or any flowers planted, but it was too cold the last few weekends and now it's too hot! O boy....

Hopefully we are more productive this week/weekend, but imagine that... We have another wedding on Saturday :-)

Hope you had a fabulous weekend and have a wonderful week!

P.S.  It's my last full week of work at this job EVER!  Sorry, didn't mean to rub it in! haha

Friday, my love!

It seems like it has been entirely too long since the last weekend!  I'm exhausted and so ready for this week to be over!  It's about 10:45am and I have to make it until 4:30, it's going to be a long day. 

I have just 6 days left after today at my current job! (I'm seriously jumping up and down!)  I am so tired of it, it just isn't a good fit for me, which is probably a good thing since I went back to school for my masters to do something else. 

I will spend the entire month of June, Monday-Thursday attending class 3 hours away from home... Talk about a long drive! That's 24 hours of driving in the month of June, all by myself! Not to mention the weekends we have to travel elsewhere for weddings & such.  I'll be staying in the luxurious, spacious, beautiful hotel known as the dreaded dorm room!  Dun dun dun.... Yes, I said dorm room.  Hey, it's $20/night, you can't beat that!  It's really not that bad and it is my last summer of classes, Praise the Lord! 

July is a busy month, but it will be o so much fun!  My brother is getting married finally. I can hardly believe it!  My cousin is getting married, it's Hubby's 28th Birthday, showers to attend, my future SIL's b-day, my Mom's LASIK (she's getting it done here, so she'll be staying with us for a couple days until she can drive back home), the Bix, Ragbrai is coming through our town and we have a concert.  Fhew..... What a long month it will be, but I won't have to work, so it'll make it that much better!

Anyway, as you can tell, I'm looking forward to summer and only having 6 days left at this job! :-) This weekend we have a wedding to attend and some cleaning to do. 

Hope you have a fabulous Friday and an even better weekend! :-) 

p.s.  It's suppose to be 85-90 degrees here all next week!!!! Summer may arrive quicker than expected! yeah!

Day Dreaming

We've been talking about getting a new computer since Hubby's laptop may only last another couple years.  We both have laptops and have been thinking about purchasing a desk top.  So with that, comes the purchase of a new desk!  You heard me right, we'll be purchasing a new computer desk like this one.  Isn't it darling?  I love how it doesn't look exactly like a desk. 

As far as computers are concerned... I love my old Dell and I'm hoping to get another one someday.  What do you guys think?  Would you go back to a desktop or do you currently have a desktop and have been dreaming for a laptop?  Do you like this type of "Desk?  Personally, I think it looks more like a cute piece of furniture than a big bulky computer desk!  I love it!
