Happy Birthday in Heaven

It was a hard day, I cried too much, I thought about you all day long.

The sadness is almost to much, I miss you terribly.

I know I have you as my guardian angel now, you've shown me a couple of times on my way to work that's for sure!!  I appreciate it!! 

I hope you had one heck of a party in heaven Chad!

LOVE THAT SMILE!!!  Miss it even more...

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
I slept horribly the night before, like only got an hour of sleep, so when my alarm went off at 7:30 I didn't even felt like I had slept yet!  I got up and went to get my hair done.  After I got done, I met Niki and the boys out shopping.  I had to get some stuff for Niki's supposed-to-be-surprise birthday party tomorrow but I had to wait till she left before I could do it.  My friend Andrea and I ran up to the hospital to see our friend Laryssa's new baby.

I was running on 1 hour of sleep and I was barely making it!!  I got home at some point and watched some tv then crashed and slept till 10:30 the next morning!!

Saturday
I got up and started getting things for Niki's party together.  I was hoping to get things together early so I could go lay out in her pool for a little bit.  I only got to lay in the pool for about 30 minutes before the clouds came and I went in.  I got everything ready that I could then it was time for me to get ready.  She got home and got ready and then people started getting there.  Her husband came out and said surprise then we finally told her that we had tried to plan a surprise party for her but she had made plans of her own and kinda messed up the surprise party....I guess it was the thought that counted anyways!!  I had ordered her gift on Thursday and paid for 1 day shipping but since I ordered it late on Thursday it wasn't processed until Friday and the one day shipping was only on business days so it wouldn't even get here till Monday.....I was not happy!!  All well, it's the thought that counts right?!?

Happy Birthday BFF!!! 

Ryker loves his aunt KoKo!!

The party was a success for the most part, no it wasn't a surprise but her friends were all together and we had a good time!! 

 

Sunday

I got up early and got ready for my friend Anne's shower.  I met Danielle so we could ride together the rest of the way.  We talked the whole way there of course!

Poor Sadie Mae was over the picture taking by this point!

Once the shower was over, Danielle and I headed back and got stuck in traffic for an hour...we went 2 miles!!  I got home and then went to Joni's for Niki's birthday dinner.  She had grilled and then we had cake and home made ice cream and sugar cookies!!  It was so good!!

After the weekend of bad food, this week needs to be the time to get back on the workout wagon and eating better!!



S0, yeah, I'm a slacker

I know...I've haven't hardly written anything worth anything in a long time.

I've been sort of keeping up with my weekend wrap-ups but that's about it.  I've totally been wanting to write but everything I come up with is either really sappy and sad or just fluff and no substance.  Then I think, who wants to read that stuff or do I want anybody reading this stuff?? 

Of course, I've still been reading my blogs, I'm still addicted.

I knew I didn't have a clue when I started this blog what it was going to be about.  It was just that I was reading so many blogs and I thought I should do it to!!

Hopefully one day I'm going to get back to this little blog and find something worth writing about, but it will probably be once this pretty summer is done and we're back to gloomy winter.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

 

Dawson & I at the carwash

I spent the day shopping with Niki & the boys.  We had lunch too!!  We went to Dawson's ball game that night then had pizza and blizzards for supper.  We were all ready to crash that night!!

 

Saturday

I got up and did some shopping.  I had been wanting some dresses that I could wear casual or dress up if I needed to.  I find a cute black one, a coral one and a strapless green one with a design on it.  I also got some cute new flip flop sandals and Maurices's was having a really good sale on jewelry and I stocked up!!!  Later on that night I met some friends out.



Jill & I

Andrea & I

 

Sunday

I was so excited about the concert tonight that I didn't even sleep as late as I wanted to.  I called Niki and talked to her for a while and we decided what we were going to wear.  (Just like in middle school when you used to call your friends to pick out your outfit for the next day....well 20 years later and we still do it!)  I got up and got ready then headed down to Niki's to get her.  She was finishing getting ready and I still hadn't decided what jewelry to wear.  Then we were on our way!!!  Package tour here we come!!!





Niki & I on our way

Love me some Boyz II Men

New Kids on the Block

(All I brought with me was my iPhone so that's why all the pictures are so blurry)

I have to say it was the BEST CONCERT I have ever been to!!  They all 3 put on an amazing show and I would totally go see them again tomorrow if I could.  Boyz II Men were definitely my favorite!!  I sang every single song they sang.  When they all stood up there in a row and the music came on for "It's so hard to say goodbye", Niki lost it and then I did.  We never thought it would be that hard to listen to a song but it was.  I can't believe it's already his birthday month, I still think of Chad every day and miss him like crazy.  When I was driving home the night of my birthday, I got in the car and "Over you" by Miranda Lambert was on, then it was "See you again" by Carrie Underwood.  I cried and then I totally knew it was Chad!!

It was a fun filled birthday weekend!!!  I can't believe it's already July!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
First day of summer!!  Niki & I spent the whole day at the pool!!  Then we came home and hung out and her husband grilled yummy dinner!!  We watched Silver Linings Playbook...it was ok, a little drawn out I think!  I came home and cleaned some because my house was a mess!!!

Ryker loves the water!!!

  

Saturday
I got up and ran to Target then hurried home to get ready to go the winery for a friends going away party.  It was so hot!!  She was a little surprised to see so many of us there!!  I then had to leave there so I could go help cater a wedding.  It's always fun to do that!  It was done and over with and I was home by 7:30.  I came home and layed on the couch for a while then went and met my friends Abby and Laura out to listen to a band.

Abby & I

Sunday

I got up and got ready to go to another party for someones retirement and 3 others birthdays.  It was a cookout and it was actually really nice outside for it.  We were able to sit under the shade trees and the kids were able to swim.  I left there to go to another going away party.  They were so surprised when they walked in and saw all the people sitting on the patio waiting for them.  

Weekend Wrap-Up (June 14-16)

Friday
I came home and slept for a few hours then got up and packed myself up so I could drive home for the weekend.  I met up with 2 of my best friends since middle school for drinks and dessert!! 

Danielle, Becca & I

I'm trying to become more of a beer drinker so I had to take a picture!

My BFF was so proud!!

Saturday
I got up and had to get a new battery put in my car and finish up my father's day shopping.  I came home and then me, mom and my niece's went to Danielle's to swim at her house.  We all came home and got ready to go out to dinner for Father's day.

Gerry & I

Kelsey & I

Sunday

I slept in and then got up and got ready to go to my Dad's to celebrate Father's day with him before I had to go home.  It was a good visit, the rain came and we had to go in.  I left a little earlier than I had planned to go to a birthday party back in IL.

Weekend Wrap-Up (June 7-9)

Friday
I slept most of the day then met some friends at a winery for a few hours.  I came home and crashed!!  I watched some PLL of course!

Saturday
I worked today at the restaurant then ran a few errands after work.  I ended up going to T's house that evening and he fell asleep on me pretty early.  I stayed up and watched a movie then fell asleep myself!

Sunday
I got up and was planning on meeting some girls at the winery for the day.

Penny & I

We went to a couple wineries, in between it poured down rain on us.  I talked to T and went to his house after. 

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
I got off work and came home and ended up sleeping all day!  I ended up meeting some friends at  a winery then came home and finally finished this season of Scandal.  Love that show!!

Saturday
I slept in because it was a rainy dreary day.  I ended up running some errands and getting groceries once the rain stopped for a little bit.  T got back from going home for his niece and nephews birthday parties and I went to hang out with him.  He was in such a good mood and was telling me all kinds of stories!!  He was cracking me up!!  And, he actually stayed awake through an entire movie!!

Sunday
T spent the day golfing and I came home to get my things together for work that night.  I had a birthday party to go to and was really hoping for standby but that didn't happen.  At least I got to go to the birthday party first before work.  Work was so crazy busy when I got there but at about 3 I got to go home!!  I, of course, was going home right when T was getting up to go to work.  He called on his way and then I crashed!!

I totally slacked this weekend and didn't take any pictures....horrible I know!  Hopefully I'll do better next weekend!!

I would like to say Happy 17th Birthday to this precious baby!!!

Kelsey Michelle!!

Love you, hope you're having a fabulous day on the beach!!!



Weekend Wrap-Up (a week late)

Friday
I got up and had a hair appointment early.  She made me blonder for summer and then curled it with a new fancy curling iron...I love it!!  I did a little shopping then came home and packed up so I could go see T and then be able to leave in the morning to go home. 

He always falls asleep when we try to watch a movie

Saturday

I headed home for my nieces graduation party.  I stopped by Donut Bank, not that I needed to but they sounded so good!!  And they were totally worth every darn calorie!!

Cute married couple photo shoot!

After we cleaned up from the party, Michelle and I and two of her friends went out to a place called RocoBar.  We sat on the patio and listened to music and ate some appetizers.  The guy singing was really good, wish we had more of that kind of thing around here. 

Sunday

I slept in then got ready for my cousins graduation party.  

Kelsey & I

I left the graduation party around 5 to head home.  T had been on the boat all weekend with his sister and nephew and they were on his way back to his house.  I went over there and met his sister and nephew.  We played some basketball and I was horrible at it.  I never claimed to be a ball player, just a cheerleader on the sidelines!! 

Then it was Memorial Day and since T's boat was broken I spent the day hanging out with some friends and cooking out.  Much, much better than last years Memorial Day weekend!!
