Work is going well so far.

Yesterday I picked up my dress for Ana's wedding and it still was too big! AHHHHH!! I freaked out last night. But thankfully I dropped it off this morning and I am just taking it in a ton. I would rather have it tight than too loose and letting the girls fall out! So last night I called Steph in a panic cuz my dress didn't' fit. Oh well, what can ya do!

I spoke to a friend of mine yesterday that is pregnant and due in Nov. that Luke and I were going to wait to try to have kids. She asked , " well why? " It was very weird to actually verbalize to someone the reasons why. But after I told her I really realized that I am ok that we are waiting and there are things I want to do.

Last night I just needed to chill since my new wake-up time is 5:30am every morning, so I watched a movie and just laid in bed. It was good, but I started thinking about what this week would have been like for me if I was pregnant still. I got a little teary eyed knowing that the due date for Brian Lucas is on Friday. It is good that I have a busy weekend, I am thankful for that.

I started my new job today! It was a good first day. I think that I am really going to like what I will be doing. Today was mostly observing and taking notes, which is usually what the training period invloves. I really want to try and learn all that I can and do a great job for my boss.

Luke is at the Twins game tonight, 4th row up, while I am at home tending to the house like a good little wife. Actually I am going to clean the house tonight since the rest of the week is busy, then it is Ana's wedding and then the next week it is off to VEGAS BABY!

I seriously am so excited to go to Vegas. The trip couldn't be planned at a more perfect time because I am sure my brain will need a break after 2 weeks of being trained in.

Also, I am really looking forward to Ana's wedding. She asked me to talk/give a toast, so I am knida nervous about that. I know what I want to say, so I think I will write it out incase I get teary eyed.

Right now the rain has stopped and I was able to walk the dogs, they were going crazy being cooped up in the house!

Ok - enough of my randomness - later!

Bring on #2

I forgot to tell everyone that I finished Harry Potter. I really liked the 1st book, so I am going to read the 2nd. I figure I will keep reading them until I don't like them anymore, so we will see how far I get.

My Babies

We had dinner at my parents last night....mmmmmm....steak dinner. It was great to be with my family and laugh and talk about the movie Superbad. The movie explains itself. The first 5 minutes into it are SO funny. I looked over at Luke and said, "Are you kidding me? " I was astonished at the amount of F-bombs and P-bombs that were dropped!

After we got home last night I realized that we had NO dog food left. I went up to Coborns to get dog food, coffee and cream, (my morning essentials). As I was checking out, I realized I had a whole plastic bag full and a huge bag of dog food, the clerk said to me, " Do you want a cart?" I replied, " NO, I should be ok. God gave us hips for a reason!" as I hoisted the bag of dog food up on my hip. Then she said, " Yeah, people usually use them for babies, but I guess you are too!" I thought, yup, I sure am. My doggies are my babies! I walked away looking funny carrying my 20 lb. dog food bag on my hip with another bag plum full in my other hand and a funny smirk on my face knowing that I was going home to my babies.

Rain Rain GO AWAY!

So we woke up this morning, looked out the window and Luke asked, " what in the heck are we going to do today?"

The bad thing about rain is the weather, the good thing is that you usually stay home, which means just the 2 of us. It has been such a nice weekend, just me and my hubby.

Saturday morning we went out to breakfast, came home and listened to music while I finished reading Harry Potter. (loved it! Can't wait to read the 2nd book) Saw a movie, took a nap, had dinner at his parents, and then my favorite part! We went to a restaurant in Maple Grove just for desert and a glass of wine. It was so romantical! :) So even though this rain is annoying, my weekend has been relaxing thus far and wonderful to spend time just Luke and I!

I am super excited....I start my new job (still at the same company) on Tuesday! I will elaborate later. :) Happy Weekend everyone!

FYI

Luke and I decided that we are going to wait a while until we start trying to have a baby again. This is a hard decision for me, but I feel it best for now. I keep thinking that we are so young and I really want to enjoy the time I have with just Luke. So for the time being our family will be the 4 of us, Luke, Me, Sadie and Hogan. I am happy with that. Just thought some of you would want to know....but I guess it is going to be hard, because most of my friends have babies now, or will soon. Again I go back to what I feel God is trying to teach me through this, being content w/ where life is at, being ok with what I have in front of me right now. Pray that I am content with life.

It's a great day

It's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shining when I shut my eyes
There are some, hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good
It's a great day to be alive

This is a county song that I love....great lyrics...

What to do with my hair?

So I am getting my hair done on Friday and I don't know if I should get it cut or not. It is starting to get long, but I do like it long. I mean, should I cut it to my shoulders? Or let it keep growing? I am leaning towards just leaving it. Also, I am not sure if I should go light 1 more time for the rest of the summer, or just go dark for fall, like red dark...any suggestions?

I also realized that I have had my hair many different colors! It is fun that I can change my hair. It isn't very fun on the wallet, but oh well. It is the one thing I do that really costs a lot of money. Well if you have a suggestion about my hair, please let me know! :)

GOING TO EXPLODE!

I am so freakin' full from lunch! Aghhhhhh! Seriously ate way too much of my wonderful Cobb Salad from Champps.....mmmmm.....

Actually eating a Cobb salad from Champps reminds me of DeAnna and working at The Right Staff....good times!

Weekend Fun!

For some reason I only could upload a few pics....if you want to see more look on facebook!

Harry Potter....Here I come

Luke and I had a wonderful weekend. Friday we were bowling, Saturday a wedding and Sunday a BBQ at our house. It was great to see friends all weekend long!

On Sunday Kurbis brought me the 1st Harry Potter book. I am on chapter 2 at the moment and can't wait to go home, go to Jazzercise, make dinner, eat dinner , do the dishes and then read!!!
Ok, so I have a couple things to do before I read.

I have heard mixed reviews on this Harry Potter craziness. I am forsure going to read the first book and we will see where I go from there. So as I read I will let you know what I think of the book. So far, on chapter 2 it is good...we'll see! As Luke would say, "I will be the judge of that!"

Last night I dropped the dogs off at the place where we board them. I was so sad on my way home, I am going to miss my puppies this weekend. It was really weird last night not having the dogs running around the house.

Luke mowed the lawn and then we started staining the deck. I will finish tomorrow before we have people over on Sunday. We have a super busy weekend , but it will be fun.

I really don't have anything exciting to write about. Work is going good. Ummmmmm, yeah, that is it. Until something exciting happens! :)

Lake Minnetonka Virgin

Last night Luke and I were out on Lake Minnetonka with his boss. In all my 25 years of living in MN I have never actually been out on Lake Minnetonka! It was beautiful and so fun to see all the ginormous houses. THe house that they keep their boat at is on the market right now for 7 Million Dollars!!!!! This house was freakin' insane! It had a pool inside w/ a water slide and was something outrageous like 12,000 sq. ft! What the hell would you do with all of that room? I mean, that is just TOO big.
We went to Lord Fletchers as well and I couldn't believe how busy it was for a Tuesday night. There wasn't one table open! All in all it was a fun night, but Luke and I didn't get home till midnight! Ouch.....I am tired today.

The Best Therapy

Since I got up this morning I have been cleaning my house. I realized today that cleaning is the best therapy! I seriously am getting so much done around the house and it just calms me....I know, I am a clean freak... I get it from my mom...Anyways...that was my random thought! So long.

Life Lessons

This past week has been very interesting for me. I can't get a phrase out of my head that a good friend always tells me, "What is God trying to teach you through this?" All that I can keep coming up with is, rely on Him more. It is such a hard thing to do, especially after everything. So please pray that I go to God for the comfort, care and love that I need during difficult times. I am always learning lifes new lessons that mold, shape me and make me who I am.
