Re: Fantastic Friday

  • Work has been a whirlwind this week as we leave for Boston for our conference in 2 weeks, ah! But we found out this week we are getting our dog next Friday, so that was great!

    This weekend H has a training course until 2:30 and then we have friends coming over for a guys game night and girls outlet shopping trip.

  • This week hasn't been all that great.  My great grandmother passed away last Friday and H and I drove to El Paso on Sunday.  The funeral services were on Monday and Tuesday and we drove back Tuesday right after it was all done.  I've had a headache for the last week from crying so much.  She's the first person that I was close to that passed.  She lived a long 101 years and we knew it was coming, but it was still hard.

    This weekend should be nice though.  We are going to a friends 30th bday pool party tomorrow and I am hoping we can just relax on Sunday.

    So sorry about your great grandmother @ystaalenburg

    Ryan Homes started building our house earlier this week.  I haven't been there to check it out, but DH is going today after work.  I gave him my camera to take pictures.  He doesn't have a camera.  Or a phone that can take pictures.

    Nothing planned for this weekend, although I'm hoping the baby will decide to make an appearance!  I'm not due for 5 more days, but if he decided to come sooner than that, I'd be fine with it.  I've been having some irregular contractions, so I'm hopeful!

  • Highlight of the week was today when I booked our September Vegas trip!!!!!  Whoop whoop!!  I'm super excited, Vegas is my favorite place, it's like a giant adult playground!!!!  I've also started training for my new job, and have started training my replacement for my old job.  Excited!

    This weekend I just have one of my neice's birthday parties.  Nothing else too exciting.  We might paint our house, but the heat index is over 100 all weekend.  We'll see I guess.

  • DH put our ping pong table together this week so that has been nice.  I haven't really been able to much play since I have a few stiches in my shoulder from having a mole removed last Friday.  Other than that, just putting things together in the house.

    This weekend is going to be more putting the house together.  DH is working tomorrow and we are supposed to be having our kitchen table delivered plus we have DH's cousin's birthday party.  Sunday we are getting our cable hopefully fixed, our fridge is supposed to be delivered and BIL and FSIL are coming to visit.  Wow we have a busy weekend...

    @ystaalenburg - I am sorry to hear about your great grandmother.   It will get easier as time goes on.

  • Today is husband's last day if his hell job!! Sat he leaves to go backpacking for 5 days so my plan is to clean and finish up projects. Big one would be our wedding album! Ha with the holidays I told our photographer I would wait to look at his proof until after. Then life fit crazy! My goal is to hopefully get it so we can look at it for our anniversary.

  • So sorry @ystaalenburg. I was very close to my great-grandmother too, she passed away when I was 13. I think about her all the time and placed my wedding bouquet on her grave. It's still hard, even 15 years later, but thinking of all the wonderful memories I have of her makes it easier.

  • Ystaalenburg, I am so sorry to hear about your great-grandmother.  You were very lucky to have her for so many years.  Think about the longevity in your genes!  I will keep your family in my prayers.

    This was another uneventful week.  On Wednesday, I had to take my grandmother for a test.  After her test, we went out to lunch.  When she talked to my mom on the phone Wednesday night she told my mom that she had the best day with me and she wishes we had more days like that.  Hearing that was the best part of my week (and we did have a lovely time).  I used to go out to lunch with her every Saturday.  She's 99 and not going to be around for many more years.  I need to have lunch with her more.

    Tonight we are going out to dinner with friends and tomorrow also.  We have nothing else set for the weekend, just enjoying summer while we still have it.

    Enjoy your weekend!!
  • Thinking of you, @ystaalenburg.

    This week was pretty good. It was the first full week with kids. It's stressful and I'm trying to adjust. It's had its ups and downs. While it's hard, I've got some really sweet kids which help. I've been making sure to walk my 10,000 steps a day with my fitbit!! I get close to 8,000 at work, so H and I have been going for a walk in the evenings with the dog around the apartment complex.

    Tomorrow I'm going to a Bruno Mars concert with MIL & SIL. I'm excited!! :) I also have lots of work to do for school. Booo. haha. I'm most excited about not having to set an alarm in the morning!!
