I just need a minute to catch up.... please.
In more exciting news, the hubby and I are in the midst of some pretty cool happenings in our lives. I won't share too much, but it makes me smile. {Big smiles.} And I'm sooo ready for fall to get here.
five.
I noticed in our local Target ad on Sunday that they were advertising their copies with said journal, only limited copies. I would have been there right at open time no matter what, but I wanted myself a copy of whatever exclusive journal Target was selling! All that I knew was the cover was a replica of Lucas' novel, "An Unkindness of Ravens" and I wanted it!! I knew exactly where to find it {I'm a frequent Target shopper} and wouldn't you know it, they only have FOUR copies for sale with the journal there at open this morning. I scooped up the first and someone else grabbed another right behind me. I am SO glad that I was able to get mine. YAY. It is indeed just a blank journal inside, with the infamous Ravens cover on the front, and I love it. It will display proudly on my bookcase. Here's some pics for all my lovely die-hards:

And look who we found wandering around when we docked. Only in Iowa:

We spent the entire day yesterday visiting grandma. Things had gotten noticably worse from Saturday. The whole family was there. Again, it was nice being together- but we felt so helpless.
Another not-so-nice thing about this weekend is that G is mad at me. He never chews on things, unless he is mad. I'm guessing that he was mad that I was away for so long or something, but whatever the reason, he felt it necessary to take it out on my Jessica Simpson peep-toe pumps:


I was livid when I first saw them. Now I'm just sad. I had to toss them in the garbage last night:

He knew I was upset. But I could tell that he felt bad so I forgave him, but I'm sure gonna miss these babies:
Happy Monday everyone. Here's to hoping this week flies by so we can all enjoy our nice long, Labor Day weekend.

On Saturday Brian, G and I spent the entire day at home. It was so incredible. We haven't been able to do that in literally months and we enjoyed every second of it. Yesterday we have lots of errands to run and visited my grandma most of the day.

It was a great weekend and I am already looking forward to the next one. It's gonna be another long week..... Happy Monday!

Lately I feel like I am just standing still, waiting for my vacation to come......
{the meaning of wait.}

what a week.
Yesterday was pretty much a day from hell for me. I won’t get into it because I’m just glad it’s over. Things are better now and getting back to normal. Last night Kathy and I ate Chinese and watched the Olympics until late {go Phelps!} And now here I am today… with loads of stuff to get done at work today and waiting for the weekend…..
I am very excited about this weekend though. Tonight my college girlfriends are in town—Jackie, Kate, Lindsay and Bri and we can’t wait to have a whole night with each other—and the boys will probably join us too. ;) I’m pretty pumped just to be with them for the night—plans are dinner and then out on the town so we will see where it leads us. I’m sure somewhere crazy.




AND Katie and Kris are staying with us so Guinness will finally get to meet Macy!! I have a feeling they are going to love each other. How cute is she?

Saturday we have a ton of stuff that we want to get done around the house- so that is where we will be. I’m actually really looking forward to just being at home with my boys and finally getting some stuff done!
I forgot to mention that yesterday at work, when our meetings were finally ending that we had been in since Tuesday, my boss thanked me in front of everyone for all of my efforts to get these meetings running smoothly. She thanked me for taking care of things that are outside of my role and to show her appreciation- she gave me a night out on the town with my husband. *blush* She said just go out to dinner and drinks- whatever you want and use your Corporate Card. SWEET. So I’m thinking that we might take advantage of this Saturday night. I can't wait! :)
On Sunday we are going to visit my grandma and baby Brody again- so that will most likely fill most of our day. And then I have to come home and pack because I have a business trip next week. Sad. I can’t even think about yet, all I can think about today is the amazing weekend I am going to spend with my boys and my friends and my family....
