Zeus


This cute little guy is mine.  And I am seriously in love with him.  We've never met.  I can, however, assure you that him and Jett will be BFF.  Jett loves dogs and I am so excited that he will finally get to have his own.  I cant wait to see the look on Jett's when they meet.  We get to pick him up tonight.  7:30 to be exact.  We are going to have an extremely busy night.  We have a wedding tonight at 5:00 and right after the wedding we will need to be on our way for this little guy because he is an hour and a half away.  I can barely contain my excitement.


Another fun thing for the weekend- I am going golfing with my hubby on Sunday.  We have never gone golfing together and I haven't been golfing in at least 2 years.  This will be interesting to say the least.  I just hope he has enough patience to watch me whiff the ball a time or 20.  I am sure I will have pictures to follow :)


Have a fabulous weekend!

MIA

I knew I hadn't posted in awhile but holy cow- its been almost a month!  Time has been getting away from me lately.  There is too much fun to be had in the summer.  Since I last posted, my hubby and I bought a house.  And I'm in love.  I can not wait until we get to move!  I've got all sorts of colors and decorations dancing in my head and I cant wait to do it all!


Here she is in all her glory- isn't she a beauty?!  It is a rather old house which slightly scared me at the beginning but the previous owners took extremely good care of it and it has plenty of updates.  Also, I love old houses for all of their charm.  I cant even explain how gorgeous the crystal door handles are in each room.  And there is seriously so many cupboards.  I will no longer have the issue of no room to store anything.  The master bedroom?  Three closets!! If that isn't enough- one wall is lined with built-in cabinets!  No longer will I need to store seasonal clothes at my moms house.  I think shes more happy about this than I am!

I cant wait to be able to enjoy my morning coffee in this sunny little nook.  I'm telling y'all, everything about this house screams perfection in my eyes.  I am beyond excited to move into it and so proud that my hubby and I get to call it our own.  August 15 (our closing date) cant get here fast enough!







Another thing that's happened since I last posted: Jett and I flew to Montana to celebrate my sister's birthday with her.  I cant even tell you the last time I got to be with her on her birthday so it really meant a lot to me to be able to spend this time with her.  We did all sorts of fun things- got our nose pierced, went horseback riding, had a night on the town, and got Brazilian blowouts.  I'm telling ya, if you have hair like mine (thick, frizzy, wavy) a Brazilian blowout is highly, highly recommended.  The price scared me away at first but seriously- it is worth it!!

Sissy and I out on the townSeriously- how can you not be obsessed with this boy?!




One last thing that's happened this summer: Basilica Block Party.  In Minneapolis, one of the radio stations puts on an outdoor concert each summer to benefit that Basilica Catholic church.  This year, the main act was OAR and my fabulous mom was able to get us free tickets!!  My family has gone to this every year but this was the first time for my husband and I.  We had so much fun and will definitely plan on attending again next year.


Okay, I promise- last bit of information.  This morning, I finally grew some balls and told my boss I'm going back to school.  I was so nervous about doing it but now I feel like I have such a big weight lifted off my shoulders and I am soo glad I did it.  School starts August 22 and I seriously cant wait.  My family and I will have such big changes in the month of August, it needs to get here faster!  One thing that really irritated me though was my boss asked about how many hours I thought I would be able to still work (I told him I would like to still work something out part time) and he said I need to work at least 30 hours a week.  He said I would be expected to put in hours after-hours and maybe a couple of hours on the weekends.  Now, I have no problem doing that.  But then, he said he expects my job to be my top priority.  I'm sorry but if I'm paying all this money to go to school, I'm going to give it my all.  Not to mention the fact that I have a family that I need to spend time with.  So maybe working here part time wont work out after all.  Only time will tell I guess.  I just feel like its so important for me to keep my priorities in order and this job for sure wont come before school and definitely wont come before my husband and son.  Okay, I better stop before I get myself angry.

I could keep going on and on I have so much to share.  I guess that's what I get for taking a 3 week hiatus ;)

Until next time, which I promise will be sooner than 3 weeks, have a fabulous day
