New Week

I hope y'all had a good weekend! I know i sure did! It was Race Weekend in good ol' Richmond, VA ;) So that's where i was all weekend... I am a bit sad that in Sept i'll be way too pregnant to sit through the race(it was a little rough this time & i'm only 15 weeks, so i can't imagine 33 weeks...) Wednesday i go to the Doc & then im pretty sure my next one we will find out what we're having! Adam and I did want to have a Gender Reveal party, but since everyone has different schedules & June is such a busy month we'd be missing half the people... :-\ & it would be July before everyone could get together & find out, so we're just findind out at the Doctor's & announcing it! Also as an update... Adam took the Chesterfield Fire Dept Test a few weeks ago, but found out Friday he didnt pass, but took the Fairfax one on Saturday & passed!! So we're excited since that's the one he really wanted!! I'm proud of him for passing & hope this works out, so he doesn't have to stay in the Navy! We'll see... but I'm going to leave this with my survey... enjoy!

Since there's no place to go... Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow.

Finally.. SNOW here in Norfolk, Virginia! Of course on a Friday night when i don't have work tomorrow ;) LOL, but that's ok at least it's pretty to look at! Now all i wish is i had a place to ride a four wheeler & sledd! Adam is on duty tonight so it's just Paisley and I... she's not a fan of the snow! haha I pretty much write every Friday, so this week went by sloooow... I wasn't feeling well Sunday, Monday & Tuesday so i only went to work for half of the week which made this week go by SUPER fast! Not much else has been going on this week... Next weekend we'll be going home for the weekend for Ben's 4th Birthday & the SUPER BOWL. I have yet to decide who i'm rooting for, but i think it's going to be the 49ers, but because they are an NFC team & i don't really like the Ravens that much, we'll see though :) on a venting topic though... I really hate when people who aren't from Virginia complain about us & our driving abilities. Ok, so it doesn't snow here often & we don't know how to drive in it... Why would you expect people to know how to drive in a weather condition that they don't see often? Seriously... It's cool that you're from a state that snows regularly, but it doesnt here, so we don't know... we were never taught & our state is never prepared for it because it doesn't snow here on a regular basis. Get over it. Give us a break. ALSO it really irritates me when those people live in an area where it's VERY cosmopolitan... Hello? you're not from here but you live here because of the Military it's the same for a hell of a lot of other people living down here too. Don't assume you're stuck behind someone from Virginia for all you know they could be from the same state you are ;) Just sayin... I'm sure if i went to some of y'alls states i could find something to complain about too. It just irks my nerves... PLUS i love living in Virginia & very passionate about where im from & the town im from... & not everywhere in Virginia is like Hampton Roads, but thats a whole other topic! But anyways... I hope if you're in Virginia you have a GREAT snowy evening & day... stay safe!

awful beautiful life

Well, it's been a week since i've written.. so let's see...hmm... My Nephew's birthday was a blast & a very busy day! He had a lot of fun, but was pooped by the end of it! :) Adam and I came back home which was a VERY quiet ride home as his beloved Broncos lost on Saturday :( He's still mourning about it. Poor Thing... now he knows how i feel as a die hard Redskins fan ;) this week at work went bt incredibly sloooow... It's been interesting, which is WAY too long to get into, so if i ever feel like talking about how that is going that will be another blog for another day. Today is my oldest brothers birthday and tomorrow i am going home 1 to get Paisley her rabies shot at the clinic(it's cheap!) & her dog license there(because i don't see the point in changing her for Norfolk when we plan to move back to Mechanicsville after the Navy) 2 to have lunch with my cousin & friend! & 3 to go to dinner for my brothers birthday at Hooters :) Adam is extremely jealous that i will be attending his two favorite restaraunts tomorrow without him(poor thing has duty!) but i promised to take him to Buffalo Wild Wings on Monday night for supper(he's so spoiled) Since i am a working girl & can now :) I love having my own money! Now that we had been predicted to have snow & some parts of VA did, but we unfortunately did not... i am ready to move on from Winter & bring on summer! I'm ready for the beach & camping & just enjoying a summer with my husband(for once!) I'm trying to think if anything else happened this week... OH we went and saw Zero Dark Thirty...pretty good movie! anyone that hasn't seen it, i reccommend it! Welp, i'm going to read this book & just relax knowing i don't have to work tomorrow! whoo hoo! & snuggle up to my husband(after he's done playing COD of course ;) lol)

wonderfulness

This time 7 years ago... i was about 24 hours away from becoming one of the greatest things that i've ever been called, Aunt :) My oldest Nephew turns 7 YEARS OLD TOMORROW! I cannot believe it... where did the time go? So much has happened in those 7 years... feels like it's been a lifetime. I wish he would stop growing... I wish both of my Nephew's would stop growing... soon enough my oldest one will not want me hugging & kissing on him & telling him he's my best friend & i love him soooo much. Why can't they be babies forever? :( I cannot express enough how much of a joy it has been to be an aunt to the two most amazing little boys. I love them as if they were my own... I'd do anything & everything for them... they are my world :) It's just such a wonderful thing. Wow... ive been an Aunt for 7 years :) Gosh... Stop growing now! lol Well, I've finished my first full week of nannying! it got so much better after the first VERY long day... i thought i was going to mess up, but suprisingly it's going really well & i'm already head over heels for the little one... he's such a joy to spend my days with, BUT i am SO thankful it's the weekend... tomorrow hubs & i are going back home for the day to spend the day with the birthday boy! lot's of fun things planned tomorrow i'm SUPER excited... I also hope that this guy doesn't get this dog, so that we can have her. My Sister in Law(Hub's sister) has a friend that's getting rid of their Lab/Border Collie mix & i was a tad late at seeing the post :-\ but i really hope the other guy backs out & we can get her. I think she would be a GREAT addition to our family... even tough we'd change her name LOL ;) Paisley needs a friend badly! So we'll see... otherwise eventually Adam and I will be investing in a new furbaby for our family(eventually we'll have a real baby lol) Well, not much else has been going on... i'm exhausted & laying in bed watching One Tree Hill and eventually will drift in to dreamland... goodnight everyone & have a great weekend!
