Sunday Night Blues!!!

As always, I have the working blues. It's the end to a wonderful and enjoyable weekend. We had such a great time this weekend. Carrie and Johnny hosted a very awesome Halloween party.

GREAT WEEKEND

Michael and I had a great weekend. We were exhausted when we got home yesterday, but it was well worth the trip. We flew out Friday morning at 7!!!! We did not get to our hotel in Atlanta until midnight on Thursday night and we were up at 4 Friday morning. We arrived in Michigan shortly after 9 on Friday morning. By the time we picked up our luggage and got our rent-a-car (a toyota RAV4, so cute), it was almost 10. We plugged in Jason's GPS and off we went through the country and I mean country. The roads were straight and flat and full of farmland. I have a few pictures. We met Brent shortly after 1 and enjoyed visiting with him for a few hours. He has a beautiful "dream" home, a 1932 farmhouse on 5 acres of land. Michael and I went to our hotel from there and took about an hour nap. We then met Brent and Stephanie for supper close to Grand Rapids. It was nice. We had a great time.
Saturday morning Michael and I went shopping at the local mall and just rode around. We had an awesome lunch at UNO's Chicago grill (flatbread pizza was amazing)!! Then it was wedding time. The wedding was fun. It was small and sweet. We partied until midnight and then crashed. Sunday our flight was at 1 from Detroit so it took about 2.5 hours to get back there. We arrived at the airport a little early so we shopped around and ate a good and expensive lunch. And then we were back in the air again!! Very busy.
This morning I went to have my name changed finally. It did not take long at all. Now it's time to do school work and try to get ahead.

Packing

I'm packing for Michigan tonight. I have a busy day tomorrow and will not be on-line for a few days. Tomorrow I have to work until 3, go to class from 5-9, then head to Atlanta. Our flight takes off Friday morning at 7. Pray for us!!!!
Today I am thankful for:
1. Only having one more day to work this week
2. Dinner at my parents
3. Gayle a co-worker of mine... this is her last week working at HCC, I will miss her.
4. Sleeping really good last night
5. My brother who turns 32 tomorrow!!!

Rainy night

I hear we are in for a cool front... I looked it up on weather.com and the weather looks great for GA this weekend. Unfortunately, Michael and I will be freezing in Michigan... Or should I say I will be freezing. Michael will be comfortable. So when all of you wake up Friday morning and head to work, think of us landing in Michigan, freezing!!!
Today I am grateful for:
1. Having my parents over for supper
2. The rain we are having right now
3. Crock pots... they make everything easier
4. Bob Evans mashed potatoes.. they taste like homemade
5. Judy, a nurse from work, for telling me why my ear is itching inside!!! (Allergies... allergic to the new air freshener we bought Saturday).

Sunday and Monday

I did not write what I was grateful for yesterday...
1. Finding my Halloween costume
2. Laughter
3. Knowing that the dog my mom found has a great home
4. Organizing my school stuff
5. Spending the day with Michael


Today.....
1. Finally ordering my wedding photos
2. Once in a lifetime easy day at work.
3. Eating Butt-Rub pork chops
4. Jason helping Michael with the satellite
5. Cricket feeling better

Sunday

Wow.... Michael and I had a very productive day. We went to Greenville again. This time we went to sofa express to order another nightstand.....and guess what... we got it 20% off. I wanted a little more than that but at least we got something. Anyway, we also went shopping for our Halloween costumes. And the funniest thing happened. Michael had on a yellow polo and brown shorts, as we were walking into Longhorn for lunch, he said, "I feel like Charlie Brown." At the same time we said, "We could do that for Halloween." We had it all planned out. I was going to be Peppermint Pattie and Michael was going to be Charlie Brown.. After shopping and shopping we came up with a better idea. So we have debated between Pebbles/bambam, Charlie Brown/Peppermint Pattie, and Hawaiian punch, none of which we will be. I can tell you all now it's funny.

Saturday!!

Grateful....
This one's tough today.. It's only noon.
1. Sleeping in this morning
2. Talking to my dad this morning
3. Having plans with friends tonight
4. The long hot shower I took
5. And last but not least the dr who called in my prescription eventhough he was a total jerk!!!!!

It's not that bad......

Every day I always seem to complain about something.. I complain about how stressful my job is, how overwhelmed I am with work, school, and keeping a house, and anything else I can find to complain about. So today I decided to write about what I am grateful for. Although my job is not the greatest, I am proud to have it. I am so happy I am able to work towards getting my master's degree, it's something I have always wanted. I am so thankful I have a nice house full of beautiful things. I am extremely happy to have such a wonderful family and close friends that care about me. I am thankful I am healthy and can enjoy my life and the people in it. I have challenged myself today and would like to challenge others.... What are you grateful for? Each day I am going to try to write 5 things that I am grateful for.
