T.G.I.F

Well Friday finally came and I was never so happy to see it come!  I welcomed it with open arms!  And due to the crappy week, I played hookie today and stayed home.  No sleep, lots on my mind, a filthy house, and loads of school stuff has left me exhasuted. 

Since I played hookie, I was able to sleep in a little and got lots of stuff done around the house.  And I even got school work done, took Lily for a walk, and watched 2 of my DVR'd shows while doing online posts.

Tonight we had dinner with my mother-in-law, brother-in-law and sis-in-law and our 2 nephews.  We had dinner at Cracker Barrel to celebrate my sis-in-laws bday, even though it was way back in December!!  I feel so lucky to have such great family on Patrick's side.  Patrick and I are super close to his only brother, his wife, and 2 boys.  We do so much and have so much fun together and I wouldn't have it any other way!!  I can't wait to start having kids of our own so the little ones can grow up, play, and be close to their cousins (our sweet nephews).

We have a pretty low key weekend and I am pretty thankful for that.  Just need some down time with my hunny!  And to get things back in order around this house.  We had our house professional cleaned last week, but it has gotten so dirty with all the little things everywhere.  Luckily, the cleaners come every 2 weeks, but I can't wait until then.  A clean house does the mind good!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.... anyone doing anything fun??   

Superbowl Sunday!!

Happy Superbowl Sunday to everyone!!!

The hubby, Lily, and I are staying home tonight for Superbowl.  I have a lot of work to do on the computer before the week begins so instead of a get-together, we are all snuggled up on the couch together.  Since the hubs was so nice and stayed home with me instead of going to a friends house, I decided to make him appetizers for afternoon and night to snack on.

I made some of our favorites.....
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Chesse Dip
Sausage Balls and
Little Homemade Pizzas

Hope everyone had a great weekend, back to the grind tomorrow!

P.S. I will leave you with a few pics from this weekend!!


I got my new Toms in the mail Friday and I am in LOVE with them.  They are so cute, I can't wait to get my next pair.

We also celebrated my little sister Allie's 11th Birthday!!  She had a great day and fun party ice skating!

Have a great week everyone!

Friday night fun... 25 things you didn't know about me!

So glad the weekend is upon us.  I have had a sinus infection all week, have felt terrible, but today has been by far the worst day.  I feel like I have been "hit" by a truck.  I hardly ever get sick, but when I do my body knows how to do it up right!!  Moving from the hospital setting to outpatient/office setting is what is killing me.  My body is not immune to this "new" bugs... but I am trying to deal.  But please sickness, LEAVE ME ALONE!!

Since I'm not really up to it, I am going to share a post that I've been working on behind the scences.  I have prepared a list of 25 things you didn't know about me.  Hope this gives you guys a little insight into my life and for (all those new followers) who I am!!  Hope everyone has a great weekend.
