It's Official!

It is official! I booked our trip to NYC today! I am so excited and I can't wait for August to get here. Dustin and I are going to go to NYC for our 1 year anniversary! I found a really really good deal for flight and hotel so I booked it today. I was a little hesitant at first and have been pondering the idea for quite sometime. But with the deal I found today, I made the plunge and I booked it. Besides it might be the last time Dustin and I get to travel for a while.

I have been to New York once when I was younger and Dustin has never been. Did I mention that I am really excited!

Also just a quick note to say that I have the best husband in the world! He bought me the Marley & Me DVD today and he is going to wash my car for me this afternoon! He is the best! I love him!

My week just got a little brighter!

Do I really need one?

Yes, my friends, I really want an iphone. I am not sure why since really all I use my phone for is to make calls and check my work e-mail. I rarely text message. You read that correctly, I don't text message much. In fact, I am not much for talking on the phone. I just don't like it. So why do I want an iphone you ask? I don't know. I just don't know.

They look really cool but that is not a reason to get one. I know I would have a hard time trying to figure out how to use the thing. I have had a Blackberry for almost 2 years and I barely know how to use it. I only know the main functions. But I still want an iphone even though they are really expensive and I have no justifiable reason to get one. My husband thinks I should get one. Probably because he thinks they are just as cool and he wants to use it.

So any of you iphone users out there think they are worth the money? What do you use your iphone for other than texting and making phone calls?

Weekend Fun

This weekend flew by. It is already Sunday which means tomorrow is Monday. Boo! I hate Mondays. I did have a lot of fun this weekend! Friday night Dustin and I had date night which consisted of going to eat at Chili's and going to the grocery store. Fun date huh? Actually it was fun just hanging out. We have been so busy lately it was nice just spending time together just the 2 of us.

Yesterday I was a hostess at Angela's bridal shower. She is getting married in May. I met Angela in college at Texas Tech and we were roommates for 2 years. Her shower was a lot of fun. She opened presents, we ate and played a few fun games. I took a few pictures to share.

The pretty pink cupcakes and her message board. My favorite piece of advise that someone wrote was to "fight naked".

The Bride-to-be opening her gifts.

Then that night we all went out for Angela's Bachelorette Party! We went to downtown Ft. Worth. Her sister had booked a suite at a hotel so we all met up there and did Angela's lingerie shower. She got some cute and kinky stuff.

So cute!

After she opened gifts we all headed to eat dinner at an Italian restaurant called Taverna. Then we headed to Pete's Piano Bar.

Me & Angela! Yes, they made her wear that goofy pink cowboy hat with a veil attached. She was a good sport about it!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend! I am enjoying my lazy Sunday!

Happy Friday!

I am so glad today is Friday! The weather is yucky here but I am still looking forward to the weekend. I have a bridal shower and a bachelorette party tomorrow. We are going to Ft. Worth tomorrow night and it should be a fun night. I hope this old lady can hang with all the girls. I am usually in bed by 10:00 even on the weekends!

Last night I was in bed by 7:30. I curled up and watched American Idol and Grey's Anatomy. Dustin was working so I had the bed all to myself....well sort of.....I had 2 dogs sprawled out beside me. Dustin called me this morning when he got home because I had already left for work and he said I was not allowed to go to bed at 7:30 anymore. Jax & Maribel were bouncing off the walls this morning. They were both up at 6:00 this morning playing and rough housing outside until I had to leave for work. And let me just tell you, those dogs are never up that early. They are always the last ones to get up. I have to make them get out of bed in the mornings when I leave for work. I guess they had too much sleep last night.

I had to be at work by 8:00 this morning and it takes me an hour to get to work so I had to leave my house by 7:00 this morning and man am I tired. I even stopped for coffee and I never do that. Then to top off my morning my husband calls me and he has been truck shopping. He wants a new truck. Oh geez! I am too tired to even think about that right now.

I will leave with this cute picture of my babies. I took this last night when I went outside to water the flowers. We have a glass storm door on the front door and they love to stand there and look out. Any time you go outside they are right there looking through the glass pleading with you not to leave them. I couldn't resist taking a quick picture because Maribel's tongue cracks me up!

Happy Friday everyone!

This and That

I can't wait! Dustin told me last night that Marley & Me is coming out on DVD on March 31st! I love this movie! I will be buying this movie on Tuesday. I read the book several years ago and we went to see the movie at Christmas. I can't wait to watch it again even though I know I will bawl my eyes out again.

Did anyone watch American Idol last night? Everyone did so good. My favorite is still Matt and I thought he did such a great job singing Let's Get It On. All the contestants had to sing Motown songs. Adam did a fantastic job. He was my favorite of the night. It is hard to pick who will make it to the finals because there are so many good ones this year.

What is up with Paula and Simon? I know they usually disagree with each other but they sure are flirty. They were very annoying last night. Did anybody else notice this?

I found a new book that is on my must read list. I haven't had much time for reading lately and I still haven't finished Good In Bed. I did get to read a little last night. I can't wait to hurry and finish it so I can start reading Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger. She is the author of The Devil Wears Prada. This sounds like a good one.

Well there is some randomness for your Thursday. It has been a long week and I am glad it is almost over.

Wordful Wednesday

*Wordful Wednesday is for those of us that like to showcase a photo(s) but that just can't seem keep our mouths shut about it(them). If you'd like to play along, post a photo on your blog, and let the words roll.

This is one of my favorite pictures of my sister and I. My sister goes to school at Texas Tech in Lubbock and I went out to visit her last fall and we went to a Red Raider football game. It was so fun! I love football especially Red Raider football! Seeing this picture makes me a little sad because I can't believe how grown up my sister is. She is going to be a Junior in college. I still think of her as my LITTLE sister even though she is all grown up.

I still remember playing with barbies, playing school and I would boss her around and our daily fights over the bathroom. Now I don't get to see her very often and it makes wish I could get those days back. She is truly my best friend and I am proud of the lady she has become. Sorry to get all mushy and reminiscent on you but she was just home for a week at Spring Break and now she is back at school and I miss her.

Please pray for baby Stellan. I follow MckMama's blog and her little one is really sick. Baby Stellan really needs your prayers.
