Thanksgiving recap and Monday...

 

 

Hello!! I bet you thought I forgot my blog, actually I didn't. I decided since I was going home for the holiday that I wouldn't blog and just relax and hang with my family. I haven't seen them in awhile and was super excited!

 

Scott had a diabetes appointment on Wednesday, and decided it be best to stay in Wyoming (enter sad face) He will be joining me for Christmas. So Milli and I packed up the vehicle and drove the nice long drive to my parents! It was a nice low key night, and I was so tired that Milli and I just snuggled. My mom captured honestly a great picture and M and I. It's up with my favorites.

 

 

 

Thanksgiving Day: We cooked, and played cards all day. That night we ate some delicious turkey dinner, and then played more cards. My family and I decided to try black friday shopping at midnight since we never had. We had some success but I am not sure I will do it again....

 

 

Friday morning, I some how I woke up at 7:30 after going to bed at 3 am to have breakfast with a high school classmate and her son! so good to see them!

 

 

When I got home from breakfast my family was ready for shopping round 2. This went on ALL DAY. I didn't get home tell 5 that evening. I couldn't believe I was still functioning.

 

 

When I walked into my parents house they surprised me with Scott and I's wedding gift. They had it special ordered and its for our movie room. It is amazing to sit in and I LOVE it.

 

 

That evening I got to see my best friend Erika, her hubby, and sweet baby Jude. It's been a month and a half since I saw him and couldn't believe how he grew!

 

 

Saturday I did nothing. I am pretty sure I was in my pj's for about 75% of the day.... that was my day.

I just loved hanging with my family, and so did milli

 

 

 

Sunday I had to come home and I was so sad. The wind was blowing about 50 mph and it was a long drive. I started to decorate last night, but Scott and I still have to go get our tree. we want a real one this year.

 

Today: Well my morning didn't start so hot, but got better once I got to work.... the wind is still blowing and we are supposed to hae 70 mph wind! and then the snow is supposed to come. I don't mind the snow but the wind can stop. Work was going fine, and then bam. I felt like I was going to get sick everywhere. I went asking for some tums and my boss saw me and she said I looked like a ghost and needed to go home and rest. So I got sent home. So I am laying here trying not to lose it... I hate being sick, but nausous is the worse to me...

 

I hope your Monday's went well, and that while I was gone from blogging your week/weekend was wonderful!

 

xxoo

 

 



5 Friday!

 

Happy Friday everyone!

 

 

I'm joining the link up for 5 on Friday!

 

 

 

 

ONE: So some exciting news as to why I wasn't blogging yesterday. One of the kiddos I teach...well his stepdad runs the movie theater here. We were talking when he picked up his kid about when Catching Fire would be showing. Well he was doing a sneak peek for some of his friends, and he said I could go! So my cousin Courtney and I went and  got to watch Catching Fire, YESTERDAY before it was open to the public.... FOR FREE. Yeah...I was so stoked! I loved loved the books, and this just was such an awesome way to end my day! Ps. the movie.... AHHHHH MAZING

 

 

Highly recommend it!

 

TWO: I have an amazing friends....I am pretty blessed...and when I got home from work today I found a package at my front door. One of my amazing best friends, Erika, got me this beautiful painting "just because" "it was you" :) she knows me so well. love you.

 

 

THREE: Every Friday I get to watch the younger ones for an hour. We call it toddler group, but I have a family friend who brings her daughter, and we take a photo every Friday. Love it!

 

 

FOUR: I am so looking foward to hopefully getting out of town tomorrow, to Casper for some actual shopping. I would love to get enough stuff for a photo wall in the living room. I would also love to finally print some wedding photos! Civilization watch out.. (if the weather/roads cooperate)

 

Ps. If you have any ideas for a photo wall, send me the pics!

 

FIVE: I love coming home to Milli. We always cuddle, and she is my buddy. Last night we laid in bed an watched Grey's while Scott watche Thursday night football. She sneaks into bed also with me at about 5:30 every morning...good thing we have a king size bed so her dad doesn't notice!

 

love her.

 

 

who couldn't love that face?

 

Happy Weekend Friends!

xxoo

 



Birthday for Papa... and a little extra

Happy Friday.

 

I hope you all have had a wonderful week. Mine was hectic, and I couldn't be more glad to welcome in Friday. I love Friday's because we get off work at 1.

 

But more importantly today is my dad (step)'s birthday!!!

 

He is an amazing guy, and if I was to list everything he has taught me since I was 5 years old this blog would be more of a novel. He has been not only a great dad to my sisters and I, but a wonderful husband, teacher, coach, and just all around guy.

 

 

Happy Birthday Papa P. Hope you have a fantastic day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

love you!

 

 so a couple things I have to share from the week:

 

1. Alison my best Canadian friend sent Scott and I the most amazing wedding gift ever. I teared up honestly. It's a custome cutting board, that has our wedding invitation on it. Thank you again...amazing.

 

 

 

 

2. I love getting these snap chats from one of my besties. almost everyday. they make my day constantly.

 

 

3. Milli is constantly making me smile. This past week was a big basketball game. Kansas vs. Duke. I am a huge Duke fan. But a lot of my family are Kansas fans...but I had to get M in the spirit for the big game. (duke lost) still upset.

 

 

Then yesterday she literally pushed backed the curtain to look outside. Nosey much?

 

 

4. It was emotional week, and at the end of the day I just keep reminding myself how blessed I really am. Sorry for the lack of blogging, but like I said I was a little out of it.

 

 

so I am chosing happiness.

 

Happy weekend. xxoo

 

 



Guilty pleasures.... (tv edition)

So even though I am not one to watch a ton of shows on tv, there are a few that have either stuck with me, or I still watch. My favs are: Grey's Anatomy, Sex and the City, The Office, and of course Friends. When I was in high school I did collect That 70's show.

Well tonight is Grey's. It's my one night that Scott is completely cool with me having the tv for an hour! Love it, but I have to admit I wasn't always a fan. My roommates in college were faithful Grey's watchers. Well my last semester in college my roommate finally talked me into starting the show...I was hooked. I luckily worked at a movie store, so I was able to get caught up quickly. 

Scott does love Friends like I do, and we actually go to sleep watching it every night. Something that is kinda our thing. We finish all 10 seasons, and we start again. 

They all have great quotes too!!!! Sorry if this is a weird post, but I had to share, because I get so excited for my one night! 

My favorite quote from friend's: 

What are your favorite shows? 

So thankful...FOR FRIENDS

Happy Tuesday!

I am happy to see you Tuesday...Monday was cruel. 

I not only had to be at two practices to coach, but I had to cover double PE classes all day. 

NEVER AGAIN. 

Today is the last volleyball game, and it is bittersweet for me! 

I am looking forward to what will come this year.

Anyways, I want to say how grateful I am for the friends (TRUE) I have been blessed with. 

For example, Alison sent me a care package, and it literally made my week! 

She got me a beautiful shirt, ring, a wall decal, napkins from Canada, and a gift for Milli!

I am so blessed, and THANK YOU again Alison! 

Milli thanks Cruz girl also!
