Administrative Professionals Day

I totally did not know that today was Administrative Professionals Day. When I got to work this morning there was a present on my chair. It was a cute brown bag with light blue lettering on it that said Dosha Salon Spa. I opened the card and it was from my team. They gave me a gift certificate to Dosha. YAHOO! I see a massage in my future! :)
That's not it either. A little later Randy brought me my favorite coffee and a card with a GC in it from the leadership team.

I feel so blessed today!

Last night Gabe and I went over to Nate and Teresa's to hang out with Kambrie while they went out on a date night. We have SO much fun! Here are a few pics of the fun we had.

Sad Day

My dad called me this afternoon and told me he had some bad news. My stomach tighten the instant I heard him say that. He told me that my Uncle David (dad's brother) had died. WHAT? HOW? He had gone to workout and had a massive heart attack and died there at the gym. The police came to my grandparents door to tell them. My uncle lived with them. He and my aunt have been divorced for I don't know how long now. He just turned 55 and was a healthy man. I guess my cousin Naomi is taking it really hard. She lives in NY and I assume hasn't seen him since her wedding which was two years ago. I don't think anyone could get a hold of Miriam to tell her.

This is all a complete shock. I haven't really lost anyone in my family before. Someone I was close to. My grandma (mom's mom) passed away from cancer when I was three and my grandpa (mom's dad) passed in 94' I think? I wasn't that close to him due to him not being around when I was growing up.

I haven't been that close with my uncle for a while. I did get to spend some time with him almost a year ago...I am so glad I decided to take the trip up there with my family that day. I almost didn't. We were very close when I was little. I lived with them for a summer one year. He always made me laugh.

Been crying off and on all day. I'm so sad...just wish I could have one more moment with him.

Look up idiot in the dictionary...

And you'll see a picture of me! Seriously I am an idiot!

After work I came home and Bryan left for class. About 30 mins. after Bryan left I had a girl came to my door and asked if I wanted the carpet cleaned in one room of the house, free of charge. ALL I had to do was tell my friends and family about the product. RIGHT

Like the idiot I am, I let them in because I really wanted my living room carpet cleaned and free is a good price, right? I didn't purchase the product, which BTW cost $2500.00, BUT I did lose 3 hours 3 HOURS of my life that I will never get back.
I thought I was going to be able to do my nightly routine, give Gabe a bath, pack his bag, eat dinner etc. while he cleaned, but he kept me in the living room wanting to show me how "GREAT" this product was. In all fairness the product was pretty good. I would have kicked the nice guy out (who actually went to my HS, which was weird) but the manager left him here and didn't come back forever (she was his ride). He even called her to come get him and ended watching American Idol with me.

So to reiterate, I AM AN IDIOT, but my carpet's clean.

Happy 1st Birthday Gabe!

Sunday my Gabey turned 1!

We had such a fun farm party! We had so many people come and Gabe received awesome presents! (Thanks everyone who came!) He was so happy the whole day-cruising around getting tons of attention.

Present Time

We had pizza, salad, soda, peach tea, pig/lamb/chick cupcakes and dixie-cups. I still can't believe that my baby is one!

Cake time

Now, for a trip down memory lane…
