Sooooo....guess where I am? ...I bet you can't guess...time's up! I'm at work...SURPRISE!!

Anyways....Jess & I did not go to register because our friend Dan had us watch his son Danny because Dan's grandpa died yesterday. Please pray for him and his family. Thank you.

9 1/2 days until I'm in Cancun!! Don't worry I'll take lots of pictures!! I just found out though that I have to activate my 'global sim card' in my phone in order to be able to use it while I'm down there...uggh! but since I need to me able to have work call me my boss is gonna pay for it! Awesome! It still costs .99 a minute to talk though! A text is .50! Luckily, I have email on my phone so my employees and I will be communicating that way at no extra cost to me!!! I can't wait! I know I mention it all the time, but I am seriously STOKED!
My assistant is going to work the show in Indy this weekend though, so I have to work Saturday, SUNDAY, all day (8am-9pm) Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday!! What a busy week before my little vacation/work thing!

I gained .9 lbs yesterday when I got on the Wii...pllllllh! (that's me sticking out my tongue). Oh well, I guess I'll have to try a little harder!! No shame in my game!!!:)

That's all folks!!

Stay tuned for more on my AMAZING ADVENTURES!!!

LOVE!

Yes, another one today! Just had a thought...

So.....I was just thinking and wondering, do guys ever stop being sweet and nice and surprising you with flowers.cards, etc..?
Because I haven't gotten a card or flowers in a really long time & it's starting to bother me a little. We've only been together for 4 years & already this part of our relationship is gone? Not possible. I want to be surprised with flowers for the rest of my life!!!
Should I tell Jess this or just let it go? It's not a deal breaker for me, but it does bug me.
Oh well.
LOVE.

Chu-Chu-Chu-Chia!

ok, I know I just posted, but I forgot to tell ya'll what my cousin Kristy text me. She's an incredible person, but she may very possibly be insane...
here's the texts:
(Kristy)-"I just saw on your blog today that Jack peed & pooped in the potty last week! yay! I can't believe how fast he's growing! He's like a chia pet. Ha. Chu-chu-chu-chia!"

I love you Kristy!! You light up my life!

LOVE.

Me!

I always bug my sister about not ever posting enough blogs to cure my boredom while I'm at work, so I guess I should post more often too. By the way, thank you DR. Hudon for posting often enough to cure my boredom for a while at work:) & congrats on the DR thing.

Random thought: is 'a while' one word 'awhile' or 2? Man, I should really know this since my mother is an english teacher. Maybe I should take her college class!

Also, I really like the phrase "that really grinds my gears" just to let you know!

So, I have been working out lately & trying to eat healthy. Not only do I have to get into a swimsuit in less than 2 weeks, but my family & I are all walk/running the 5k in Indy in May! yikes! Hopefully, I will be the most fit and I will kick all their butts!!! ALSO, as we all probably already know, I am getting married in July & I have to look Hotter than HOT!!!
Working out is going well, thank God for my Wii fit! I ache here & there, but I feel better about myself daily, so that's awesome!

My nephew Austin is now being homeschooled by my sister, so they have started to have Austin teach Jack stuff. It's really cute:) The color of the week (Austin's idea!) is blue, so we'll see how it goes because right now the only color he'll recognize is red.

Oh yeah! Jack got 4 bottles of water out the other day & lined them up in a row & counted them! 1-2-3-....he doesn't know what comes after 3 so he just said 3 again! (cute)

Well, I am at work right now, so I better get going....
Wedding Update: I booked my reception hall, have my dress, bridesmaids have theirs, and I'm going with Jess to register for gifts today after I get off work!

Back to all of my AMAZING ADVENTURES!!!

LOVE.

A historical day in more ways than one!!

Hello!!! A couple AMAZING things have happened lately...
#1) I got my wedding dress on Sunday!!! It is gorgeous!!! I am in love with it and the reception hall will be booked by the end of the week!!!

#2) I am at work watching the inauguration on cnn.com live & they have this neat thing where you can see all the facebook statuses when people put them up while you watch. Well, this girl put that she was watching the inaugration and sharing in the pride of fellow blacks. Yes, that's how she spelled the word inauguration when it was right there on her computer in front of her!!! I thought her comment was rather racist and ignorant, so in turn, I put on my status that I was watching the inauguration (spelled right) and sharing in the pride of fellow AMERICANS. and yes, I capitolized (sp?) AMERICANS!!! It just bothers me that people are STILL talking about how he's black! GET OVER IT!!!! Also, he's half white, so who cares?!

#3) JACK PEED AND POOPED IN THE POTTY!!!! I just got that phone call at work and that made my week! We are starting to seriously start potty training hardcore & it is totally gonna work!!! Hopefully I will have a potty trained 2 1/2 year old at my wedding! That would be AMAZING!!! Since my sister watches him 3 days a week her, Jess, & I are all gonna have to be on the same page, but if you just bribe Jack with a sticker to get him on the toilet it totally works and then he knows what to do once he gets on there, so it's great!!!

Just thought I would share with you a bit!!!
I'll try to post pics of my dress and my bridesmaids dresses.
Back to not working and watching the inauguration! This live feed from cnn.com is AWESOME!! I didn't get to see the coverage for 9/11 because I was in high school and they wouldn't tell us what happened or let us watch tv coverage so this is great to be able to be a part of this historical day! (Even though I don't know if this "change" is gonna be good)...only time will tell!!!

Stay tuned for updated AMAZING ADVENTURES!!!

Love.

Random thoughts spewing out of my head

HOLA!!! I have had quite the week with all the drama etc..but I am so excited it is Friday at 3:22pm!! Almost the weekend! Although I have an appointment at a reception hall Sat. at 11:30am, dinner at a friends Sat. night, a dress fitting on Sunday at 1pm, and probably lunch after:) Busy, busy, busy!!

But anyways...ya'll would've DIED if you could see Jack in his get-up for going outside in this insanely cold weather!!! Well, Bethie, you did see him!! (giggle) He has a sweatshirt with a hood on, a hat, snow pants, boots, gloves, and a poofy jacket with a hood!! TOTALLY HILARIOUS!! I'll have to take a pic of it tonight! But if you've ever seen 'A Christmas Story' just think of the kid getting all bundled up and having to walk to school like a penguin. That's Jack!!!

Jess's car doesn't work in this INSANELY cold weather because his thermostat freezes, so I had to take Jack to my sister's house this morning before work. Yeah...I was definitely late to work!

One of our work trucks that runs on diesel fuel had to be towed to the shop today because the diesel gelled up! That sucks. (Not my money!!!-Thank the lord!)

Did you know you have to use pesos to buy things in Cancun? Of course you know because it's a different country...I knew too, I just hadn't thought about it like that yet. That's strange. I've never been out of the country before! Did you also know that there is a bad drug war going on in Mexico right now? Sweet...I guess I won't be going to those ruins I wanted to visit. oh well.:)

Anyways...I should go because I'm at work (not working)...YAY WEEKEND!!!

Stay tuned for more AMAZING ADVENTURES!!!

Love.

A little change of pace in my AMAZING life...
I'm just chillaxin' on my lunch break reading some of the awesome blogs that I follow...
Life is good. No one at the office is mad at me anymore, probably because our boss changed his tune & is letting them listen to whatever whenever now...Whatev!
I got my passport-still SUPER excited about Cancun! Can't wait to see the beautiful ocean and take some much needed Jess & Me time for a whole week!!!
I feel like I'm halfway starting to get somewhere with the wedding planning, although I must say it is OOBER stressful!! I don't think I've ever been so overwhelmed in my whole life! My sister and mom are helping me, so that's cool. I just have to wait for my tax return check to have any money for it, so the planning is kind of at a stand still for the time being. It's still fun though & I get to go try on my dress this weekend with all my women there too! YAY!
SIDE NOTE-I spell yay Y-A-Y, I used to spell it yea, but I got cracked on a lot, but the funny thing is, now people crack on me for the NEW way I spell it! I don't know which way is right. Maybe I should ask my mom the english teacher...hmmmm...
Anyways...Jack is the most AMAZING thing/person in my life! He is actually starting to listen to me a lot more than he did and we are having a lot of "talks" about stuff he does and him listening to me and Jess. It's incredible to watch your child learn and grow into someone with a very independent and unique personality. He amazes me everday with gestures, words, SENTENCES!!!, etc...I adore Jack so much and I just hope I can do everything I need to for him to get whatever he wants out of life and whatever God has intended for him. It scares me sometimes to think that how I raise him now will affect how he is when he's a teen and what choices he makes when he's much older. I found if you think of it like that you get way too stressed, so for now we'll just take it one day at a time! My point? Jack is the BEST!!!
Well, I'm rambling now, so I'll go. Plus my lunch break is almost over!
Stay tuned for plenty more AMAZING ADVENTURES!!!

Love.

Whatev

So....today in my AMAZING life, almost everyone in my office is mad at me! YAY! Here's the story...
Yesterday we had a management meeting & one of the topics was dress code. As we get more customers coming into the office, our dress code has changed to portray a more professional image. Well, since this is the case, I mentioned that we should not blare 107.9 or 96.3 in the main office because it is not professional (not to mention I am upstairs, not allowed to close my door, and can't hear myself think sometimes!). So....I suggested we stick to "family friendly" radio stations. Seeing as how our commercial runs on 101.7, my boss told us we have to listen to that station.
OMG! People are FREAKING out about this taking it as a personal offense. The 3 people downstairs right now are choosing not to listen to ANY music because they are upset that they can't listen to "their stations". On top of all that, they are hardly talking to one another and definitely not talking to me at all.
Hmmm...I thought we were all grown ups here...I guess not.
I just wish these people could think about how what I suggested was not personal at all & how I was only looking out for the good of my company. If we portray a bad image to people who walk through our door our company will suffer. If our company suffers we don't get raises and bonuses. The other thing that really grinds my gears is that if my boss had been the person to say this instead of me bringing it up, this would not be a problem. No one would stop talking to him or be crappy about it.
But........WHATEV! Life goes on & there are a bunch more AMAZING ADVENTURES to come so don't miss out!
Love.

Bored...

So,when the cats away, the mice will play, right? well, I'm at work right now & I am totally bored and my boss won't be in until Monday!! I miss Jack...wish I could be hangin' with him right now! Atleast I know he's in good hands with my sista! 2 more hours isn't that bad although I have to work tomorrow morning and continue to call these people who haven't answered their phones after 5. oh well..life goes on!
I got my passport today! Not as bad as I thought it would be. Wanna hear something crazy?! They actually TAKE your birth certificate, like, the ORIGINAL and mail it off to wherever does passports! I don't think that's right! Correct me if I'm wrong, but birth certificates are important, right? And I'm supposed to trust the random post office lady to take good care of it and make sure it gets shipped off, looked at by some other random people, and sent back to me safely! NOT cool. I feel like I could loose my whole identity! Atleast I still have my social security card! I just thought that was weird. The "random post office lady" was actually named Danette and she was very helpful answering all of my "first timer" questions. She had to take my picture three times because my glasses kept creating a glare and you couldn't see my eyes. I guess the patrol people have to see your eyes...hmmm...I wonder why. What if I decide to wear colored contacts on my plane ride to another country? Or what if I wear make up that makes my eyes look like cat eyes? what then? I guess I'm just screwed. Actually, considering I have a criminal past, perhaps I won't get a passport issued to me at all. Man...I should've thought about leaving the country BEFORE killing all the stupid people at my work....CRAP! We'll see.... (Just kidding about the killing people thing:)

Stay tuned for more AMAZING ADVENTURES!!!

Love.

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hello all and welcome to 2009! Here's my rhyme for 2009..."2009 is gonna be fine! I'm gonna shine!" you like it? I was really bored on New Year's Eve & I came up with it! Yay me!

Just in case anyone was wondering, I brought in the new year at home with my fiance, Jess & our friend Dan. Jack was there too, but of course, he was sleeping. It was fun. We played games and ending up writing all over Jess's white t-shirt with permanent marker. Fun times!

Any New Year's resolutions?...Mine aren't so strict or technical, but I do want to lose weight by Cancun in February and I am slowing down on "the sauce". Not that I drink an awful lot right now, but I think even once a week is way too much for me. I would be a lot happier & healthier if I cut back. Jess said he was going to not drink until Cancun...We'll see how that goes...

That's about it for now...stay tuned for more AMAZING ADVENTURES!
