Miscellany Monday

1. I enjoyed my trip home so much. I had a jam packed weekend trying to see everyone as much as possible...and I just about did everything I planned on doing. There are a few friends that I didn't get to see, but there is another trip to be had ASAP! I had a blast loving on all of my babies! Meeting Blakely was amazing, of course. Already counting down the days until I come home again.

2. Check out nomorerack.com for amazing daily deals. I bought a pearl bracelet for $6 that was marked down from $94. Today's deals aren't that great, but I'm sure there are good and bad days.

3. I had a 4 hour layover in Baltimore today so I did my nails

I had planned to get a mani and pedi with the girls yesterday, but it was an hour wait so we decided to get yogurt instead.

4. I'm getting ready to start this trilogy.

Has anyone read them?? How are they?

5. I can't wait for the Bachelor and 90210 tonight...yah for DVR!

6. Join in with mingle Monday!!!

Happy Monday!

Miscellany & Mingle Monday

1. I'm so excited for The Bachelor and 90210 tonight. I'm even more excited to watch them on my new DvR!! I really hope Michelle goes home...even though I know that won't happen. Reality tv loves drama!

2. I went skiing yesterday only 30 minutes from where I live. It was so much fun and I plan on doing it on a regular basis!



3. I made chicken spaghetti tonight for my work family and 2/3 of the boys actually liked it...success!

4. I met a new friend, Lenka, from Czech Republic. We hung out Saturday night and had so much fun!!

5. We are supposed to get MORE snow. Don't get me wrong, I love snow, but enough's enough. It's supposed to start at 3AM Tuesday morning and end at 7PM on Wednesday. Snow day is to be expected...good thing I got stuff to make rice krispy treats with the kids. Thats at least 20 minutes of entertainment.

5. I'm flying to Bama on Friday! I can't wait to visit my family and friends and I especially can't wait to get my hands on my new niece, Blakely.

Happy Monday!!

Big day

So yesterday was my 25th birthday... Geesh I feel so old. Haha! I am so lucky to work for a family that goes above and beyond to show that they care.

This is the amazing cake that they surprised me with!

My new camera that they got me...I looove it!

They sang happy birthday to me!

And showered me with even more gifts! It's so sweet that the boys even picked out such great gifts for me!

I wasn't feeling 100% yesterday...I'm kind of fighting a cold, but they def made it a very special day for me!!

I woke up this morning feeling much better so I am going to tag along to George's hockey game this afternoon and then maybe do a little celebrating! I hope you all are having a fantastic weekend!!
