It sounds like I'm going to the Windy City!!

I'm soooooo excited! its not "official" yet, but it sounds like dad and I are going! I LOVE trips and going with my dad is so much fun!! hoping we make it to the Sears Tower (but not sure!) we shall see!!!

Lot's of great things to look forward too!!!! YAH! :)

And the Christmas tree lighting was tonight! WAHOO!!! i so wanna go to NYC for a span of three months and include the Macy's parade, Rockefeller Tree lighting (and skate on the rink) and Times Square on New Years!!! Its on my bucket list!!!!

I just love traveling, and then scrapbooking the trip when I get home. Now I just gotta figure out how to get to the Sears Tower.

Its the most wonderful time of the year!

Rudolph aired tonight, which means Christmas is coming! I am SOOOOOOOO excited!! love this time of year! :)

no complaints, working a lot (just to off set not working at all during vacation) which trust me, I am TOTALLY fine with! I CANNOT WAIT FOR FLORIDA!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!!!! EEEEEKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!

YAH! have a great week everyone!

What a great break!!

I'm kinda sad that its over, but my next extended time off is in a couple weeks, so I'm glad that something is going up so quickly!!! So today I met up with my old CM co-workers (Jill and Lisa) and we had lunch at Noodles and Company and then exchanged secret santa names, and I'm already shopping for my secret santa!! YAH! i can't say what I got, incase she reads this! haha!

Then it was a skating afternoon, which I LOVED!!! and just a chill weekend! I'm still trying to figure out how to decorate (not sure if I should use colorful lights or white lights!) ahhhh!!! i don't know!!! I am just so excited about everything that is coming up!!! YAH!!!!

Let's make it a great week!!!!

Christmas Music started today!!

So while listening to Christmas music, I cleaned my shower, I vaccumed and I decorated for Christmas!! Love it!! I also did some more bible versus! i love that while I am all warm and cozy, everyone else was out on Black Friday shopping, CRAZINESS!!!!! I'm too wishy washy to buy something on a whim, I need to hum and haw over it FOREVER!! haha!!

This break has been SOOOO relaxing, its been so nice!!! And I'm meeting up with some buddies for lunch tomorrow to exchange secret santa names, and then probably going to go into work for a couple hours, if its crazy busy!!!! and then Church will be good, I need some classic worship time!!

And then Sunday is skating day!!! WAHOO!! what a great weekend!!!! I can't believe its almost December!! CRAZY!!!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, I'm full of pizza; that was my Thanksgiving feast!!! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I have many reasons to be thankful, but most of I am most thankful for my dad; he had Triple Bypass surgery in June, and is doing great!!! YAH!!!!! And he had a recent check up, just to put my mind at ease before we go to Disney, and everything looks great!!! WAHOO!!!

Can't wait for our trip!! Today was great, nice and relaxing; and we had pizza!! (I don't like turkey, I sure wish the Pilgrims discovered pizza in the first place!) haha!!

Good luck to all those who plan to shop tomorrow!!!! EEEKKK Black Friday! I only did it once, and it was just because my bestie dragged me with, it was fun; but I didn't really shop, it was more to help her find stuff!! haha!

CHRISTMAS MUSIC HAS STARTED!!!! WOOT WOOT!! (can you tell I'm excited??) haha!

It's my birthday!!!

Today was great. It actually started out very early with taking Jill to her surgery on her wrist. Ironic that she broke her wrist on her birthday (while we were celebrating her birthday) and that she had surgery on my birthday. It was very interesting to see how doctor and surgical centers worked out. I'm thinking about a new career venture, but we shall see. Prayers would be appreciated!
I can't believe I'm 27!! CRAZINESS!!! I feel so old, but yet so young; if that even makes sense!!! After helping Jill get home, I met up with Sara and we went to Mexican Village, for my free birthday meal, and then we went to see Breaking Dawn, which was good, but pretty bloody and gory!!! AHHH!!! i might have nightmares after that one!!

It was funny hanging out with Sara, and I got calls from my family; and I posted the cutest picture of me, my mom, and my sister a couple days after I was born!! it's so for cute!!! :)

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!!!! Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow, I'm going to enjoy my pizza feast!!! Haha!

Joe Nathan got traded! :(

I am so sad, I loved him, but now I hope he stinks when we play Texas!! :)

Today was a good day, and its nice that I just work tomorrow and have the rest of the week off. I might go in Saturday to help out, we shall see.

I talked to Jill today and she needs to have surgery on her wrist, which is so CRAZY! so i'm taking her in for her surgery and dropping her off at home; on my birthday!! I cannot believe this has happened on both of our birthdays! CRAZINESS! no matter roller skating for us!! :)

It sounds like she is going to be out of work for quite a while too, WOWZA!! who would've thought! just glad that the weekend was just here, and its coming back very, very soon!! YAH!! have a great night everyone!

PS DWTS finale was tonight, I think my pick is still JR and Karina, even though Rob and Cheryl's freestyle was AMAZING!!! I'm so nervous for tomorrow night!!! AHHHH!!!!!

Sergei Grinkov died 16 years ago today.

birthday celebrations with the family!!

So much fun!!! my dad was in Chicago for the weekend, and called me and was like "I'm stuck in Chicago, and I'm gonna miss your party!" and I was like "Um, I have caller ID, so I know that you are calling from home!" and he was like "oh!" haha!! gotta love technology!!!

I didn't make it to church this morning, I was still freaking out about the roads, and our driveway wasn't plowed yet!! bummer! :(

It just so fun to hang out with the family, we had pizza and my mom made brownies, but she put applesauce in it, tell me who puts applesauce in brownies, WEIRD!!!

We also played Apples to Apples, which I love that game, and did some disney talkin', great times!!! I just love my family so much! I also got lots of cool stuff, I got money from my aunt, Breaking Dawn (the book) and Rudolph scrubs from my parents, trying to read Breaking Dawn before I go see it next week, and a cool frame with the lyrics of The Sound of Music, with my favorite colors: light pink and chocolate brown!!! My sister had someone make it for me, which I think is so cool!

Anyway, very fun birthday!!! Can't wait for the celebrations to continue!!! Its was fun to read through my baby book too! I love doing that! :)

I can't believe I'm going to be 27! CRAZINESS!

today was an adventure, to say the least!!

So I went roller skating with Jill this afternoon, and we went for about 1/2 hour before Jill tripped by a kid who fell and she fell on her wrist, so we ended up going to the ER and she has a severly sprained wrist and needs to go to a bone specialist and get it taken care of. AHHH!! i feel so badly for her, its her really birthday today too!!

and it started to snow and hasn't stopped!! its crazy!!! so we decided to go eat quick at La Casita for her free meal, and church was even cancelled tonight, so I will see if I can get out of my driveway tomorrow morning, I think I might get stuck though!!!!

but it was a pretty crazy day today! excited to hang out with the family tomorrow though, so that will be fun!!!! good times with the Sommers family!!!

Have a great rest of your weekend, can't wait for Thanksgiving break next week!!!

today was great; let the great weekend continue!!

so today was pretty good, especially for not getting any sleep last night! GRRR!!! and i usually get nervous when I am the only one working but it was AWESOME!! and my dad came and said hi, he usually does when he drops my mom off at Savers (which is her favorite store!!!) haha!

and it was just good because I felt like one of the doctors and I were on the same page, and that I was speaking the language of the eye; and that felt really good! Its nice to not be the newest employee, and its awesome to feel like I am contributing and helping!! Go me!!

YAH!!! weekend is sooooooo close I can taste it!

today was AWESOME!!!

love it when i have a great day!! it was weird too because someone came in to get her eyes checked with my same last name, and it isn't a common one and then we found out she married my dad's cousin!! SMALL WORLD!!!

its just been a good day; work was kind slow, which was good since I am still working on my "to do" list that I got yesterday!! haha!

and its getting closer to the weekend!! EEEKKK!!! i am so excited to celebrate my birthday with friends and family!! yeehaw!

Happy hump day (its wednesday!!)

What a difference a day makes!

Today was great!! it sure is easy to be positive when positive things happen!!! :)

it was nice and slow, so that gave all of us time to catch up on work stuff, which was good. and guess what tomorrow marks 30 days until Disney World!! YAH!!!!!!!!!!!! so excited! it sure helps to have something to look forward to!! :)

and very much looking forward to celebrating my birthday this weekend with friends and family. I think I like birthdays, but then I will probably despise them once I turn 30!! haha!

Have a great night everyone!!

Today was rough, could use some prayers!!!!

AHHHH!!! long day!! anxiously counting down the days until this weekend!!!

Mission so not accomplished!

I didn't vaccum, the skating wasn't as awesome as it could've been, and my shopping didn't go well! arghhhhhh!!! sometimes I'm so exhausted, and cannot believe that its time for the work week to start up again. Why didn't God create a two day work week, and a 5 day weekend!! WHY??? come on man!!

but i do have quite a few days off around Thanksgiving, which will be nice; like my birthday, so it will be nice to just have down time. I hate even having a one day weekend, argh!!

well here's hoping everyone has a great week, and its almost my birthday. I cannot believe I'm going to be 27, I feel like I should have some wisdom to impart since I feel so old, but I don't! haha! nighty night!

DWTS semi finals tomorrow, EXCITING!! toodles!

Mission so not accomplished!!!

Oh well, i deserved just a down day. I did do some shopping, but didn't get anything!!! argh! oh well!! looking forward to next weekend already, as I am celebrating my birthday with some friends, and then family!! WAHOO!!!!

Here's to a postive work week!!!

AHH!!!!! Love it, but at the same time, I do need some me time!!!! Oh boy! But don't get me wrong I am excited about everything.

I like to write my goals down, so that I can check and make sure I do them!!!

Church was SOOOOO great tonight. Worship was amazing, and it was a big crowd for a Saturday night, which was nice. Well I better get some sleep, so excited to sleep in, but hopefully get my goals done!! nighty night!!!

This week is dragging on, but today was SOOOOO fast!

Which is great!! plus we got our first snow last night, but nothing accumulating! I just LOVE this time of year, and work has been going okay so no complaints there, just excited for everything coming up, Christmas, Disney, Skating, my birthday (i'm going to be 27!!! AHHH!!!) just so happy!!!

its almost Friday (although I have to work Saturday, but I am just trying to help you guys out!) heehee!
Toodles!

Terrific Monday, which is not common!!!

so today was great, it wasn't too slow and wasn't too busy, which is always nice!!! i even got to leave early too! and I don't work until 1:00 tomorrow afternoon, so I get to SLEEP in!! WOOT WOOT!!! DWTS is going well, JR is my favorite to win, he's a war vet who burned his face and he was on a soap opera for awhile, and he is awesome! so positive, and such a great dancer!!!!

I just LOVE this time of year!! the mall is being decorated for Christmas, and I can't wait to see Disney decorated for Christmas too!!! and can't wait for Christmas music!!! WAHOO!!!

Sunday, SLOW, relaxing, and lazy!

So I'm just going to throw this out there, but I skipped church this morning. I feel so awful when I don't go. God asks for 1 , give or take, a week for us to go to his house of worship, and I wanted to catch up on sleep and I used every excuse in the book. I'm working 6 days next week, I just want to sleep in, I was at a wedding yesterday; blah, blah, blah! I am such a hypocrite. I get so annoyed when I hear other Christians swear, or go out and do stuff they know they shouldn't, and then I pull the same crap! I am so annoyed. this is the reason I go on saturday nights, but then I didn't because of my cousins wedding. ugh, I am so disapointed in myself.

That being said, because of this, I didn't really do much of anything. Which I am also annoyed with because I could've still gotten stuff done, but I choose not too! oh well! God loves us all no matter how stupid we are!! :)

so yeah I do work 6 days this week, which stinks, but in a couple weeks, during the week of Thanksgiving, I only work 2!! so yeah, and also looking forward to disney/Christmas. stores are already getting there Christmas stuff up, so YAH! and Target has a big Merry Christmas sign in the front of there store, yah for Target!!! hopefully they don't attempt to call them Holiday Trees, that was just stupid!!!

and also the skating season started today, which is always exciting!! i am so obsessed!!

I could use some prayers for a good week! i did write down some more bible verses, which I really like to do, so when I'm having a rough time I could pull open my bible to those verses, that I know will help me out!
well have a great week, hopefully its not as long as mine!!!! Think positively!!!

Sommers Family Wedding

Today was Andy's wedding, it was a lot of fun! we didn't stay long, which is unusual for us, but we still had fun. Good to see all the family, and it will be nice to see them at the White Elephant next month too, instead of just the typical once a year thing!!!

Good times with the Sommers family, now I'm just getting ready to "fall back"! YAH!! love when I get an extra hour of sleep!!

have a great rest of the weekend everyone! goals for tomorrow include more bible reading, a walk outside (still trying to walk outside, while its still nice out!) and hopefully scrub my shower clean, but I keep saying that one and never get around to it, so we shall see!!! :)

its the weekend, WAHOO!!!!

Today was AWESOME!! YAH! i love when i have a great day at work!! and then I was shopping at Target and Sara freaked the crap out of me, but it was fun; we then did some hint hint shopping, which is always fun.

Now I'm just ready to call it a night, since I gotta get up early tomorrow and get ready for the wedding, and then I'm probably going to go to my parents house and hang out with them for the rest of the weekend, which I am excited about!
nighty night! enjoy the weekend!

today was AWESOME!!!

so today rocked, the reason because I got to leave early! haha! it was nice and easy, and the new girl (melissa) who is so nice, started last week, and she came in today, which is always nice to have the extra help. I also really enjoy training, so its nice to be doing that again! (and not being the newbie!) while I got to leave early, so I went shopping and got a cute top for my cousins wedding this weekend. Hoping it matches my pants!!! and then I went for a walk at Lake George, I love walking in this weather (and I need to be able to keep up with the family at Disney) and I did the small loop twice! YAH! goooooooooooo me!!!

so it was nice to just chill out!! im pretty excited about andy's wedding this weekend, it will be nice to see the Sommers fam more than just at Christmas!! plus we haven't had a wedding in awhile, so it will be fun to hang out with everyone!!!

well its almost the weekend! YAH! Happy hump day!
