Chicago Stars on Ice

It was so much fun last weekend!!! Dad and I left on Friday morning, and got to our hotel in the afternoon, and the show was that night, so we hung out; and I went to the hotels gym and worked out for a bit.

The show was AMAZING! the highlights were Katia Gordeeva (She's one of my all time favorites!), Kurt Browning's Singin in the Rain number, and seeing Dorothy Hamill; as she is a LEGEND!! such a great show!

Katia and Ilia's daughter sat right in front of us, and she is so cute and looks so much like her dad.

After the show, we went back to the hotel and left the following morning! We stopped in to see Jackie on our way through the cities. It was a short, but very sweet trip!!!

Can't wait for next year!! :)

busy weekend!!!

I went to Chicago this weekend for Stars on Ice, but more about that next time!! Last weekend was CRAZY busy!!!
Let's see on Saturday I went to a work expo, which was fun, got my haircut (which is 5 inches shorter, eeekkkk!!), did some shopping and bought Breaking Dawn part 2!! love Twilight!!

and then Sunday I went to Janet Eckman's wake and saw her grandaughter Erin, who is a close childhood friend of mine, so that was great! Its just nice to go back to my hometown church and check up and see how everyone is doing!! There were a ton of people for Janet's wake, she was such a wonderful woman!! She actually welcomed my dad back to the church with opened arms, which I think is so wonderful!!!! If not for her welcoming him back, he might not have stayed and he actually met my mom at church, since her sister's husband was the pastor at the time, and she was in town visiting my aunt and uncle, and met Tom Sommers!! so sweet!!

Well, its Daylight savings time (spring time, yuck!) not that I don't likw spring, I just hate loosing an extra hour of sleep, so I should go! Chicago updates soon!!!

Bye!!! Let's have a GREAT week!!!

Life and Death: Janet Eckman and Joe Mauer's twins!

Unfortunately I found out yesterday about the death of a wonderful woman; she was a very close family friend, and very special to me because she was the one that got my dad to go back to church, which i am so grateful for because that is where he met my mom!!! She was so nice and beautiful. someone said it perfectly on facebook, that God was gaining an angel!

now the life news; joe mauer's wife is expecting, and get this its TWINS!!!AHHHH!!! craziness!!! i am trying to be happy for him, but it still makes me sad.

anyway, so that's my news this week!! its been a great week otherwise; I am going to an expo for work saturday (and getting paid for it!) and i lost another 1.5 pounds and am now down to 15 since i started! YAH!!! so excited!!!

well, better get ready for bed, brother will probably be here soon, so that's always fun!!! nighty night, and its almost the weekend, and my parents are going to be home from florida soon!!! YAH!!!! i miss them! :)

FABULOUS weekend, scrapbooking and movie musicals!!

I had another crazy week, but good week!!!

Singin in the Rain

So much fun to just hang out and relax! and then this morning, since we scrapbooked in Kimball, so I went to a different church this morning, because I wasn't able to go last night, so that was good! and then i went ice skating this afternoon, and it is SOOOOO hard! the skaters make it look so darn easy! I lasted a bit longer than last time though, so that's good!
and I lost a total of 1.5 pounds this week, and so far have lost 13!! YAH!!!

well, lets have a great week everyone!!! :)

this past week was CRAZY, but in a good way!

I had stuff going on each night of the week:

Monday: went out with a bunch of co-workers for supper, SUPER fun!
Tuesday: I had bible study, but didn't feel well! :(
Wed: Mall walked with Sara
Thursday: Weight Watchers meeting (I LOST 1 pound and have lost a total of 12!!) YAH!!
Friday: DID NOTHING!!!

AMAZING! i feel so blessed, and so happy! I mean sure everyone has good days and bad days, but it sure helps when things are good!!
I even got an old elliptical machine from one of my moms friends, so thats been great! No excuses!!

Today I did nothing, and then tomorrow I am planning on going home, and since my parents are on vacay, I really wanna take a bubble bath! I don't have a bath tub, so this will be nice!!!

Have a great rest of the weekend everyone, and let's have a great week!
