Ahhh, thanks!

Thanks God! That's the first thing to say! It's only Tuesday and the week has been super busy! Ha! But I am feeling confident and calm, although my desk pile is stacked high!
I really am so thankful that when it looks like there is no way out or things seem overwhelming, God is watching out and he just provides and makes all the pieces to my puzzle fit! There were not enough hours in the day to accomplish all that I accomplished, again let me just say thanks God! And now it is 915, I am home, relaxing,playing with the pups, and getting ready for a restful night. Truly blessed ;)

Happy Mothers Day 2011

Happy Mothers day to my Moma and Mother in law!  Double Trouble! Ha! 

Mom, I am so blessed to have a great Mom like you! I love you so much. While we do have our differences, sometimes many, Ha, I am just fortunate that you are an active part of my life and we share so much together.  I have learned so much from you over the years and am proud to say you are my Moma.  Thank you for all of the wonderful memories and I am prayerful that one day I will be a fabulous Mom too, just like you! Thank you Moma, I wouldn't be here without you... literally! Ha!

To my Mother-in-Law, I again am blessed, double blessed, for a great mother in law.  I enjoy the time we spend together so much and am richly grateful for the role you have in my life with the frequent absence of Danny.  I look forward to many more years of growing closer as a family.  Thank you for everything you do. I love you.

Our Girl Bean

This is our Beanie Baby, may she rest well. Beanie left us a few weeks ago on April 15, she would've been 16 years old this year. She had a very good run! I know this post is late, but it is the first time I could attempt to write a post without breaking down.

While it may seem silly to the non-animal lovers, it has been a very difficult transition. She was just a part of our family, with her own role and personality. We will miss her dearly.

She was my grandmothers dog and when she passed I just took Beanie under my wing. They say Dog is man's best friend and I truly believe it! She was always so intuitive to how I was feeling. When I would some hone from work she was barking and so excited and stayed by my side all night. She had a great personality. Loved to swim, and lived the kayak. She wasn't just our pet, she was so much more.


I knew the time would come, but really you can never prepare. Everyday is better and the grief has gone. I am thankful for the memories and time I had with her. I am thankful for the fact that she was my grandmothers and I was able to take care of Beanie for so many years after her passing.

Now its Danny, me, maggie, and roxy. And so I am still blessed. Little Bean thanks for the memories, you are always in our hearts.

Happy Hump Day Randoms

It's Wednesday Lovey's and I am glad the work week is just about over and the weekend is just about here! Ha!  Spring weekends are the best don't ya think!  This weekend I have a few things planned, but I am definitely going summer clothes shopping!  Some new pieces in my wardrobe is a must, well not really a must, but a I want really bad! Ha! And I have saved up so it's alright!  No credit cards for this gal! Well, and I have been losing weight/toning so the shorts don't fit like they used too.  And I love it that's it's because I am losing and not gaining.  Last year it was the opposite when I had to buy new! This year is better! Ha! Well I am off to bed now, after a few words with friends plays of course! Yes addicted- Thanks to Monica ;) And now we are over the hump...I'm out!

Outdoor Gardening Glam

So my new love this year is gardening. I am very much appreciating the relaxation that comes with being outdoors and working in my yard. Yes, even the mowing and weed wacking I have come to not mind. There is just something about being in the beauty of the outdoors and making your own outdoor living space. Oh and trust me, you must be creative in a townhouse! Ha!

Every year past that we have lived here I have had a tough time keeping things growing, well let's be serious, keeping things alive is more like it! If there was a "black thumb of death" I'd own it. But its different this year, its waste keep buying new when the old dies and I am so into my gardens and flowers for that reason. It is definitely a new appreciation; one I find so much fun!

Wow it has been over a month since my last blog post.  So sorry followers :(  I have been so busy, again so busy.  My head is just spinning.  Work, Life, All of it!  I know some of you can relate! Ha!  But now, now it is time to jump right back in and there is no better way then coming off of a fabulous weekend, and past week and a half with my husband home! Love it, Love him, so blessed! 

This weekend we had a gals retreat in PA, for our church!  It was awesome.  I loved being with my girls and just laughing and learning, and having some fun! I love them like family.  My husband left the morning I left for the retreat so it was nice to be doing something other then just being at home thinking about him leaving. It was just great.  Thanks God! 

So what else has been going on you ask... hmmmm.... LIFE, as always!  My sister-in law is engaged- super exciting, work is crazy, not as exciting but okay. Ha! CPOE, I live and breath it! HiFi studio, loving my TRX and Zumba classes, Running, yes again, slow,but without the pain-Yes!  My little Beanie passed away after 16 years, very sad but she is at peace.  Happy Anniversary number 2, and my husband was home, fabulous, sweet, and simply wonderful. Dish Network, like it better then Cable, alot better! Ha! No debt other then car payment, school loan, and mortgage- Thanks Dave Ramsey! Ha! Friends, time with friends-love it. Spring Cleaning & Yardscaping- ahhh relax all clean and I am happy.  Florida trip was so needed and loved seeing family and park hopping!  Next stop San Francisco-  Never been, can't wait! Did I mention work... and then everything else I am overlooking. 

To sum it up it has been crazy I have been crazy, but greater is He who is in control and I am just here living it and it's great! Every day a new day, a new chance, a fresh start... so thankful, so so thankful! And yes though it has been crazy busy, I did stop and smell the flowers, I always do at every chance there is...  and so what does tomorrow hold? Stay Posted! Ha!
