and monday has rolled around again...

Going back to work after a three day weekend (that came only a week after a week long vacation to the beach) is always the worst!
Three days is just enough time to get out of my routine, which I have come to depend on tremendously while dealing with a now four month old (can you believe it!?) and a new amputee pup.
Regardless, no one asked my opinion on the matter so I will get over it and embrace this crazy Monday. Vet check up, crazy work catch up and all. It's going to be a good day!

Happy Monday After A Three Day Weekend To You!

Baby Boy's first 4th of July Celebrations!

Oh how I wish I could share all of this cuteness, but just look at those sweet lips! He's presh!

T.G.I.F.

O.M.G.

Life is crazy.

12+ hour work days. 1 month old baby. Church. Family. Friends. Fur Babies.
I feel absolutely drained. It has been a hard work week. I have five huge events for work each year; two of those are in the next month. Insane amounts of planning go in to these events and hundreds of volunteers put countless hours of blood, sweat and tears in to each event. I LOVE working with these people. They are so passionate about our cause (I'm not sure I've really said what I do before, but I work for a non-profit responsible for raising money that funds cancer research) and I love sharing my passion for it with them.
As much as I love these people, and the cause, it is sometimes so hard to not be completely discouraged when every single day you deal with absolutely insane, demanding, rude, completely insensitive people.
And trust me, for every amazing volunteer and co-worker I have, I also have one that makes me want to pull my hair out, take up drinking and possibly move to a cave in the mountains and shut myself off from any chance of receiving 41 emails from one person in one afternoon, ON THE WEEKEND. Yes, this happened. No I did not answer any of them then, and still haven't weeks later. Don't be ridiculous and I might consider replying. Enough said.
So, even though it is not technically the weekend yet, I am so thankful this work week is almost over! I'm going to spend this
glorious Friday chatting up sponsors and presenting to the lovelies in Kiwanis, and this is going to be the most relaxing day of my week thus far.

Hope you pretties have an amazing Friday and enjoy the heck out of your weekend!!!

weekend's over...

This weekend has been full of fun with friends and family, like I can't even describe how amazing it has been.

Friday night was the finale of Sweet Home Alabama so some friends had made plans to come over...after a few crazy work schedule changes it came down to just me and Tabatha. We had great food (my first ever experience with an all day crock pot recipe!) and we were both disappointed together because we were totally Team Nate (Darn you, Collin!).

If I was rooting for the city boy you can imagine how annoying the country boy was! But Nate was def gorgeous!

Saturday I had my sweet friend KC and her little family over for lunch. You know that friend (I hope we all have) that is always willing to help you do anything and everything? That is so KC. I cannot get over how genuinely kind-hearted and loving she is towards everyone. Anyways, she is ALWAYS inviting me over for dinner or just to hang out (Sometimes being the single friend isn't always a bad thing!) so I wanted to return the favor for once and we had an absolute blast!

I ended Saturday with a couple games of Settlers of Catan with Ashley and her hubby and a friend of his. If you haven't played Catan, do it! NOW! It is absolutely addicting! And I will win eventually!

So, the weekend is officially over and work will be here in a couple of hours (depressing much?!) but I had a fabulous weekend.

Here's to Monday! May we all have an absolutely glorious week!

P.S. My Preds have lost the last two nights! Saturday night in a shoot out and Sunday in a shut out..ughh!
