Monday...

It's Monday. Blah. I am in a better mood than I was upon waking up though. I DID NOT want to come to work today. It was hard getting out of bed. I was half asleep until about 9:30 this morning. The coffee finally kicked in and I am doing much better now.

Our weekend was pretty nice. Friday after work Alex and I went and had dinner at Dicky's. It is a really yummy kinda fast food like barbeque place. It was amazing!! The service was realyl slow, but the manager apologized for it. Apparently the people in the back got confused? Not sure why they were confused, but oh well. We didn't care. After dinner we relaxed on the couch and watched Yes Man. We liked it. It was a little cheesy at points, but it was worth watching nontheless. It was a very relaxing night.

Saturday I woke up bright and early, cleaned up the house a little and then headed to Body Combat. This is the second Saturday of doing that class. It kicks my ass. One full hour of nonstop kickboxing. Wow! Leslie didn't end up going, so I was all by my lonesome. There was a point that I wanted to just walk out because I was so freaking tired, but I stuck it out. I am pretty sore today! It was amazing. After workout I tanned and then by the time I got home the pest guy was there to spray. They didn't tell me that the animals had to be locked up (Orkin didn't have us do this) and we needed to get out of the house for 2-3 hours. WHAT!? I wish someone would have warned me! I was all icky from working out and tanning and didn't have a chance to shower, but oh well. We headed to the mall, shopped, ate lunch, and then headed to Sam's Club where we spent way too much money. By the time we got home it had been over 3 hours! I cleaned the house while Alex relaxed and played WoW. Showered and by the time I was done getting ready Leslie came over. We had planned on having people over, but everyone was out of town or busy, so it was just us, Leslie, J and Tracey and their daughter Addi. It was fun though! It was very chill. We sat outside, had some beers and just talked. After they left (around midnight)we headed over to Liz and Kevin's. haha. We shouldn't have done this. Alex was a little tipsy, so needless to say, we didn't stay very long.

Yesterday was heaven. I did nothing. Nothing at all. I watched Twilight, but kept falling asleep during it, so I kept having to rewind it and watch it again and again. HA! I baked chocolate cupcakes which I brought up here to work today. I made dinner and watched more TV and that was the extent of my day! HEAVEN! I know once we have a little one those days are LONG gone, so I might as well enjoy it while I can!

Alex is on a baby kick lately. He wants a baby so bad. I do too, but it's just adorable for him to talk about it. I love him!

Well, I better get back to work!!

Happy Hump Day!

It feels like this has been a slow week. I have had a really hard time getting up this week. It takes me about 3 hours to wake up. Coffee helps this process, but I still kinda feel like I am in a fog. I am also PMS...so this could very well have something to do with it. Not only do I feel blah, but I feel like I am in some kind of a rut. I am missing home more than anything. I miss my family. My friends. My old job. My old office. Being near the beach. Eating sushi. Everything. It comes and goes. I know I have talked about this before, but that icky feeling of being homesick is back. It will never go away, and I am fully aware of this. I just need to deal. I need to be thankful for what I have and move on.


How cool does the sky look in this picture?




This was a pretty rainbow at Leslie's house a couple weeks ago:


So, Michael is doing much better. He is now at Baylor doing rehab. He can now walk a few steps with help, push himself in a wheelchair, ride a stationary bike and he is now eating solid foods, which is amazing! I can't believe tomorrow it will have been a month. Time is flying by. I went to dinner with Autumn on Monday when she was in town (she left to go back to the hospital this morning). It was nice to see her away from the hospital. We had a couple beers, which was needed and had a few laughs. I was out of it (due to lack of sleep from the night before, and maybe a little bit too much wine), so I know I wasn't very fun, but it was good to get out. I miss her. I miss Mike too!

Our wedding is a month away. Wow. I am ready. I am more than ready. We should have planned a Vegas wedding to begin with. It is SO much easier. The ceremony is done. I picked a package and picked the flowers and that is it. I don't know if we are going to do the vows we had picked out for the Cabo wedding. I need to ask Alex that, but other than that...done. Oh wait...music. haha. That shouldn't be too hard. They have a list of stuff that we can choose from. I am slightly nervous about the cameras in the chapel. We had planned on having a videographer for the Cabo wedding, but decided against it for Vegas, but there will be cameras that will stream a live feed of us getting married. I believe anyone can watch it. I should probably check on that one too.

The reception is still up in the air. His father is going there tomorrow and plans on looking into restaurants for a possible dinner. I don't really like this idea, but what can I say? I was happy with the thought of just going back up to the room after the ceremony for some cocktails and drinks. No worries. Plus, we are having our ceremony at 7:30 p.m., so by the time we are done with pictures and everything, it will be around 9 p.m., which I think is WAY too late to be eating dinner. Oh well. I am going with the flow. How ever it works out, it will be perfect because I will be married to the man of my dreams. I will FINALLY get to wear my rings too! It's been too long.

Is it lunch time yet?
