6 am..

I know, early for me huh! And Ive been up since 2:30 am! We just got back from Twilight: new moon, and it was AweSOME! I loved it! I want to see it again! I went with Matt, my friend Shelby and her friend Jer. Im such a dork, but thats ok :) It was definately worth the wait! And Im definately still a Team Edward girl haha. So now Im just killing time until time for work. I have already done the dishes and cleaned up a little so thought I'd write a over-due post! I should be working on my Christmas watches. But I dont have much brain power as you can tell from this bad-grammered post so far.

Last weekend, we went to Salina for Erin's wedding. It was nice! We had a good time and she was a pretty bride. It was fun to be with the family.. we always have a good time together. It was a short trip but was good to go. It snowed like CRAZY down there, pretty much a whiteout at one point. But we came home Sunday morning with no problems. That night I went with my mom, dad, sis and Kyrie to Disney On Ice; Princess Classics! It was ALOT of fun! Kyrie loved it! She stared in awe, hahha. She sat on Papas lap, ate popcorn with him and didnt take her eyes off of the characters :) Shes so darn cute!

Wednesday, the 18th, was my little niece, Abby's bday!!! She turned 1 years old :) Shes so sweet. We got to see them on the Xbox webcam last night and its amazing how big the kids are getting. It has been only 2 and a half months that they've been gone, but holy cow, it seems wayyy longer! Abby is jibber jabbing like crazy and Mason is still crazy! He was showing off his muscles and so excited to see us! I cant wait until Teresa's mom gets married so we can see her when she flies out for it! (Oh and the kids too! lol)

Dont be jealous but guess what? I am finished Christmas shopping! And its only November 20th! I have been shopping on and off since June and I went the other night (spent a lot) and FINISHED up! Only people left are Matts Dad and Brother but I told Matt he gets to take care of them because I have NO idea what to get them. I took care of everyone else so its the least he can do lol. I love Christmas! I love buying and giving people presents!! Oh I guess Im not completely finished, I still need to finish up my Angel tree presents for my 9 year old little girl. It will be nice to just go shopping with her in mind and give her a nice Christmas. I wish I could do more. I wish I could help many others. But I guess one child is better than none, right :)

This next week will be fun! Only have 3 days of work and then Thanksgiving. This year we are not going to Thanksgiving though! I told Matt we are skipping Thanksgiving to do something special for his birthday! We have no time to celebrate it because Thurs is turkey day, Friday is the parade and put up our tree and make grandpas cake, Saturday is Grandpas big 70th birthday bash, and Sunday (his birthday) he is leaving at 8 in the morning for California for training for work .. Im so sad I cant spend his birthday with him.. So I decided out of all the events next week, we would skip Thanksgiving and I would take him overnight somewhere. I have it reserved and paid for but I cant say what it is because he reads my blog too lol. After we go, I'll tell you where I took him :) Im looking forward to it though! He deserves it. And we dont get away, just the two of us, at all. He will be gone for 4 days.. It sucks but I'll manage. Im sure I'll spend Sunday with my mom and dad.. Monday I'll work, then Im hanging out with Kyrie while Nat and Rog go to a concert, Tues I'm on my own, then he'll be back late Wednesday. So not too bad!

Well only an hour and a half until time for work. I think I'll turn on some Christmas music and work on some more jewelry :) Hope everyone has a great day.

Fridays are fabulous..

This morning started off pretty crummy. Woke up to get ready for work and my throat and head hurt sooo bad. First thought was Swine Flu.. great lol. Nothing else hurt or felt sick though, so I called my boss and asked if I could just take an IBU and go back to bed for a couple hours. I felt so much better when I woke up. I didnt want to be sick this weekend lol! We are going to see Nitro Circus's new movie at the ESA tonight! One of our patients at work is a producer for them and gave us free tickets to go!!! We are hoping to meet Travis Pastrana and others :) I am also making a cake for my boss's granddaughter tomorrow morning and cant be sick to do that. I hope it turns out okay, its a pan Ive never used before so I'm a little nervous that it will turn out alright. I will post pics of it later.

Ive been having a hard week.. Tomorrow would have been my due date to have our baby. Its harder than I thought. I thought I was ok and over it but the little reminders are hard. I want to have a baby so bad.. I cant describe the pain.. Matt has been amazing through this all. He lets me just cry.. he held me last night as I cried all over his hoodie lol. We have been trying to get pregnant for over 3 months now and its frustrating. I know the time will come when its right, but just the frustration of not getting pregnant and it being my due date. Its hard but something I will get through just like everything else.

I have decided to adopt an angel on the Angel Tree this year. Im really excited to be doing this. The idea came from my sadness that I have felt this last week. This Christmas we would be buying baby clothes, and presents for our child.. Since that has changed I want to give another child Christmas. My angel is a 9 year old little girl. I want to buy her a coat, clothes, socks, shoes, toys, etc... Matt and I do well at this time in our lives and I want to share what I can with others. Matt suggested today that we should adopt more angels and not buy for our family members, but cant do that because I have already started shopping and am about half way finished. At least we can give one child Christmas. When my heart hurts, I try to find a remedy usually by making something good out of the bad.. It helps me feel better. I know even though I am hurting, someone is not. That makes me feel good. I am fortunate for all the blessings in my life, I truly am.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. :)

Wed Nov 4

Halloween has come and gone.. Sad. I love getting all dressed up and seeing all the kiddos in their costumes! My costume for our 2nd and third party was a hot air balloon lol. Everyone kept asking me if I was the 'balloon boy' (the young kid that everyone thought was in that homemade balloon that flew across Colorado), or if I was from the movie "Up". It was funny. I got a lot of compliments. We had a great time. The party at our house was a lot of fun! We had a yummy dinner, lots of treats, had a costume contest (which I won 'best overall', i gave my prize to Lisa because I didnt want to win, the hostess isnt suppose to win! lol) Everyone was dressed up! I really loved having it at my house, first holiday there! Then on Halloween, we went to Joe and Kathys (Matts cousins) and had a bash there. Had my first copper camel there, wow those were good. I think I found my new favorite liquor shot hahaha. Left from there, went trick or treating at my mom and dads (well more like came over, raided their cabinets, ate stuff and hung out haha). Heres my costume:
My mom, Nat, Kyrie and I got tickets to go see Disney On Ice! Im excited to take my niece to see it. She will love it. Especially since she just got back from Disneyland and knows all the characters! It will be fun. Its not until Nov 15 but the way time has been flying, it will be here in no time.
So for the best news of the month.. drum roll please... I bought our NEW MOON tickets! lol I cant wait!!! I am a Twilight nerd, but Im cool with that haha! Im willing to admit it :) I wanted to hit a 12:05 am showing on Fri Nov 20 (opening day), but they were all sold out.. I did NOT want to have to wait until Friday after work, so guess what I did !! Yep took the only showing left- at 3:00 am Friday morning! Hahaha, I know, call me crazy! Matt was okay with it and we are going to go to the movie and then go straight to work! Only 16 days left!
I am curious as to who all reads my blog :) I hear every so often someone comment on it and I think its awesome that I have quite a few followers! Do me a (stupid) favor and "add a comment" to this post and put your name or whatever so I have an idea!
Hope everyone has a great day, we're halfway to the weekend!
