I HATE Mondays!

I am so tired! We had a good weekend, but exhausting! Pretty sure I can't stay up until 2am anymore! I still have not recovered.......let's hope these next 3.5 hours go fast!

Nothing to Say

My sister told me to update this. I told her I have nothing to say. She told me to say, "I have nothing to say!" There ya go folks!

A Weekend in the Silhouette Room

We spent the weekend at the Arbor Inn in Prescott Wisconsin. I was very surprised. We had a wonderful weekend and the owners John and Deb made us feel right at home.

We had our own private entrance w/ a hot tub and a 4 course breakfast each morning.

Friday night we enjoyed a bottle of Champagne and wonderful carrot,cream cheese cake on the porch. We then went for a little stroll around the neighborhood and admired the beautiful homes and then enjoyed the hot tub that night under the stars.

Saturday morning we woke up to freshly baked scones outside our door, coffee for me and tea for Luke. After our 4 course breakfast in bed we hopped in the hot tub before we headed to Troy Burne golf course. Troy Burne is a Tom Lehman course and is gorgeous. We had a fun day of golf and then headed back to the Arbor Inn. I showered and Luke got to know the owners over a couple new kinds of Beer that only Wisconsin has. We then headed to Muddy Waters for dinner and back to the Arbor Inn to enjoy the evening. They had these very cool hammocks there that 2 people fit in, so we took advantage and fell asleep in one for over an hour and a half! The golf that day sure wore us out.

Sunday we woke up to another wonderful 4 course breakfast. I then had an hour massage and we packed up and headed into Prescott. It is a small town right along the river. It is actually right where the St. Croix and Mississippi river meet. We had a great weekend together and it was a great surprise!

PS - there are no pics. of Luke and I because I forgot my camera! Can you believe it!!!!

A Happy Monday

Today I started working at our Bloomington office. And to my surprise this morning there was a bouquet of flowers delivered to me from my wonderful husband. The note read, "Happy Monday...I love you, Luke" Isn't he the best ever! I am so lucky. I can't wait for this weekend to be able to go out of town just him and I! :)

Birthdays

I am HORRIBLE when it comes to my friends birthdays. Maybe it is because I hate my own birthday, but I just never remember people's birthdays. It is not that I don't care about my friends, it is the fact that my mind is missing a piece to help me remember people's birthdays, I swear! So I called Ana last week because I knew her birthday was coming up. She told me her birthday was on Sunday. Well I was at the cabin all weekend and totally spaced it out on Sunday! I feel SO HORRIBLE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANA! I LOVE YOU DEAR!!!

Then my neighbor Erica's birthday was yesterday. She is always so sweet to remember my birthday or Luke and I's anniversary, things like that. Well I called her yesterday and she had to tell me it was her birthday. I felt SO HORRIBLE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERICA! I LOVE YOU DEAR!!!

Ok, so saying that now, definitely does not make me feel any better, but what can ya do!

On a side note - my boss came to my office yesterday and told me that we would be moving to work out of the Bloomington office. So Monday I start in Bloomington. I am a little nervous about the drive, but I am sure it will be ok. The nice thing is that Luke works in Bloomington a couple days a week, so when he is there we can probably have lunch together!

We have a busy weekend ahead. Friday night we are having dinner with the Sorbel's. Saturday morning we drop the dogs off at the groomers at 9am and then head to Luke's grandmas in Roseville for a pancake breakfast. Then we decided we are going to go and have dinner on Saturday night at Mill City in St. Michael. It is a little hole in the wall type place with AMAZING burgers! Then Sunday is Sari and Ryan's engagement party at my parents house. So that is our fun filled weekend. Luke and I are really looking forward to dinner with the Sorbel's as we haven't spent time with them in way TOO long!

That's all for now! Until next time! :)

Oh how we rely on the Internet

So today at work our Internet has been down on and off ALL DAY LONG! It has been SO freakin' annoying. They will work for about 30 mins. then be down for over an hour! I have felt SO unproductive. That's my story.

I realize I have been really bad at posting lately. Sorry friends!

Things are going good for Luke and I. We have been keeping busy in the evenings with taking care of the yard and running...yes, both of us running! Hooray! :) We went to the Outlet Mall last weekend and both got a new pair of tennis shoes. The best part of the deal is that we only spent a total of $104 for both pair! The Outlet Mall does have good deals once and a while.

The last week of July, first week of August Luke is suprising me and we are hopping on a plane and going away for the weekend. He gave me a list of 5 cities I could choose from...New York, Boston, Miami, Las Vegas and San Francisco. He told me I could choose 3 out of the 5 of where I would want to go. I chose Boston, New York and San Fran.....I thought those would be fun cities to spend a day and a half in. So I will let you know after our trip where we go. He said I won't know until we are at the airport and he hands me the boarding pass.

Work is going well for me. I really enjoy being back in the staffing world and TRS has changed so much since I was here a couple years ago....for the better!

This weekend Luke has the Monticello CC Club Championship, so he gets to play all weekend and so I decided to head up to the cabin with my dad and the dogs. It is only going to be my dad and I and the 4 dogs until Sunday, so that should be fun. I am looking forward to relaxing and bringing a good book with.

A Good Surprise

I had to work today.........Wa Waaaaa....However we got a call at 10am letting us know that we could close down the office at Noon! Hooray! T- minus 14 minutes until I am on my way home and up to Big Birch Lake....I CAN'T WAIT!

I started reading the 1 year Bible. My goal is to be in the word daily. Every day has a part I read from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs. I am reading in 2 Kings right now and it is really not that interesting. All I can tell you is there were A LOT of Kings that did not follow the Lord. (It tells you this a lot) Hezekiah was a good king though :)

Those are my thoughts for you. Have a safe and Happy 4th of July - T -minus 12 minutes now :0)

Weekend of R&R

I am SO looking forward to heading up to BBL tomorrow afternoon for a weekend of Rest and Relaxation. It is definitely MUCH needed.

My first week back to work @ TRS has been great. I am happy to be working with some great people and excited to start recruiting again.

Plans for this weekend include golfing, being in the sunshine (let's keep our fingers crossed) and reading my book.

Hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July........wear your life jackets!!!!!!!

Many Changes for the Peterson Household

It has been some time since I have actually taken the time to write about my life. I have had many changes in the past couple of weeks.

1. I no longer work at Executive Title.
2. I was unemployed for 2 days and then decided to go back into the staffing world. I am working again for The Right Staff.
3. I have continued to run and Luke and I are actually running together now. I can go about 2 miles without having to stop to take a breathe...this is a HUGE accomplishment for me!
4. Google calendar is my new best friend
5. I have a new cell phone # (was getting out of country calls)
6. Luke and I are seeing the importance and blessings of a husband and wife that pray together.
7. Luke lost his Iphone last night - NOT GOOD!
Ok, so those are some general updates that give you a snapshot into what is going on.

I am very excited to be back at a job that will offer me a lot more challenge and opportunity for growth. I LOVED what I did at Executive Title, however it didn't give me much challenge and was very stressful. I am looking forward to working w/ people more face to face as well as doing recruiting.

In regards to Google calendar....if you have not tried it out, you should. It is WONDERFUL!
