Weekend Recap




Friday: My last day of work- we went to lunch and just had a relaxing day, I didn't want to start any new projects so I did next to nothing all day, my supervisor was chill with it so I did the same 

After work we went to a wedding in another town, it was so beautiful, here are some pictures:






Saturday:
we had a super relaxing morning, we both cleaned the house together, we booked our flights for our trip home at Christmas time. then we went to town to do some shopping.
at 7:30 PM we had to go the airport to pick up my friend Dana and her baby


We had so much fun with the baby, it was so good to see my friend too, but for some reason I never took one picture of her and I.

Sunday:
We had a Remembrance service for our veterans



Everyone loved Edan, he is such a sweet child, so quiet and he slept the entire service, it was hard to let her leave again but she has family about 3 hours from here so she came to visit me for her first night, I feel so lucky :)

Have a good week y'all

Confessional Friday


1) Another Confessional Friday and the beautiful Leslie is not here to celebrate it, I was reading through our past emails tonight, I just miss her so much, she was so full of life, I think of her husband and daughters every day, I cannot imagine how he is feeling, and her sister in laws, they were like the best of friends, Sarah if you are reading this, please know I think of you often. 


2) I lost my job this week ... I knew it was coming along with a lot more people.. the business got sold to another company and I was told three months back in June, I got 6 months out of it.. today is my last day, it will be emotional but I know something better is coming my way. 



3) I am really fascinated with giraffes, right now as I am writing this I am watching the Nature of Things it is all about them tonight, I have never seen so many beautiful animals. You should read up about them, so amazing


4) We have a wedding tonight, well the reception because they got married a few weekends ago, now they are here where he is from to celebrate with us. I cannot wait,  to see her--> I use to babysit her and then she babysat for me
Will post pictures over the weekend for sure. 



5) I confess I am very excited to get some extra sleep next week, my body has not been doing well with sleep lately so I am hoping I can catch up.

Date Night Idea 9


Idea 9 

Take the scenic route, hold hands and drive, turn on your fav cd/radio station, sing along



This will likely result in some hysterical laughter as you laugh at each other singing loudly, at least it does over here as I cannot carry a tune at all, while my hubby is a great singer.

Weekend Recap ~ Halloween Edition




Friday: 
I worked a whole day in very minimal pain - I may share my health issues at some point this coming week, maybe if you all behave ;) 

We had Halloween at work, we went all out this year because it is the last year most of them will be together, i work at a chain hotel that just got purchased by Marriott which I'm sure you have heard of before
so come February we are no longer employed, I am there right now on a special project, I am not paid by either hotel, I am contracts as such to complete what was a three month contract but now it has been extended a couple times, and I am not complaining at all, I love my co workers and I hope I am there til Christmas Vacation. 

So we all dressed up ( well I didn’t, because I am not a fan of Halloween), there was a haunted house, lots of treats, ice cream cake, it was a great day, the reception is pregnant so today was her gender reveal and it is a little boy, I need to remember to buy a present this weekend for said boy. 

Here are some pictures: 
1) Brooke dressed up as a nerd, her best friend dressed up to match so they were twin nerds. 

My Co workers: 

The Nerd, the Error 404, and the Pirate 


I met Rod Stewart today ;) 










After work I went to visit a friend who was in a very serious car crash last weekend, she is going to be ok but she has a long road of recovery ahead of her, she has had 2 surgeries and now she has to have more to get everything fixed up… it was so nice to visit with her and to see that she is still with us, yet sad at the same time to see the pain she is in and not be able to help her out of her pain, Keep her in your prayers please. 

Hubby picked me up around 6 pm and we went to eat dinner, we tried a couple of places and every restaurant was so busy so we finally wen to the mall food court, so romantic eh, it was yummy food and so nice to get out with him, we haven’t had a date night in a few weeks because our weekends have been busy. 
I had a norwex party at 8 pm on Facebook, and then we stayed up til 1 am watching hockey, late night with my love, but it was fun. 
Brooke had a sleep over with her best friend so they could do halloween together. 

Saturday: 
Hubby and I stayed up far to late Friday night- we were like teenagers, watching movies and laughing together, so we had a late start to our day, we got in town around 3 pm, I needed to go to Costco to purchase some things, christmas has arrived, the stores are getting it all out and ready to go. 

When we got home I cleaned house, made some dinner while hubby did some chores around the house, like replacing the door handle, fixing the dryer... then I made a snack for later, my friend Rachel came over to spend the night and visit, this girl makes me laugh like one else ever has, she is so funny



We ate food, she did homework while I watched hockey, then we chatted late into the night, but score because we got that extra hour of sleep



Sunday: 
Morning service and the we had a leadership meeting, I had a friend buy me a beautiful brown purse and some gorgeous hats, it was so nice to feel loved. Came home and did some resting, then went to pick up Brooke at her friend's house and even service. 

Another week is started.
