Merry Christmas!!

Life has been entirely different from previously with Pat now at home. It's so much fun!! I never realized how little I actually saw him until now!!! I never want him to go back to work!! Things are better now!! At first it was a little frustrating, to come home after working all weekend and your roommate did nothing but watch football!! He has finally come around, he cooks and cleans, is completing some projects like the garage, that we just hadn't had time to get to before. Its really nice!! Yes he still play a ton of video games but I think I would too if I had that much free time!!!
Anyway, now we are just getting ready for christmas!!! Everyone is coming over on Christmas eve and then I go to work on the night of Christmas day!!
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

One day at a time

Well for those who haven't heard yet. Poor Pat got laid off on Friday from Superior Lexus. I think his ego was alittle bruised at first, I just had to remind him that in times like these alot of people are losing their jobs, its strictly business and not at all performanced based! He knows that, and is doing fine now. I took off of work on Friday night and spent some time with him and his friend Matt (okay, I was the designated driver!! :) He had the opportunity to watch football for 6 hours on Saturday and then more on Sunday and today is playing video games!!!
Yes, he did file for unemployment. We just didn't know how soon anyone would hire someone right before Christmas. I guess we'll see, but it will probably be after the 1st of the year before any interviews start up. We will keep everyone posted!!! Everything is up in the air right now, but we are doing fine!! So far it has been nice to just see him this often!!! Our schedules have been so random and crazy lately that coming home Monday morning and seeing Pat was really exciting!! We never get to spend this much time together!!!! Unless we're on vacation!!! :) Keep your fingers crossed that maybe he gets a job before February and I can still go to the beach!!!!! wink wink!!!!

some pics!!

Well I am finally getting around to posting some pics!! The first one is of Pat at Buffalo Wild Wings! (I'm posting it just to embarrass him!)! We are addicted and we started inviting everyone our every Tuesday night so we all get together!!! Maybe next week I can manage a group pic!!
Next is of some of our christmas decor!! We finally got the lights completed with the help of our neighbors ladder!!! It was a nightmare!!! :)
Happy Birthday today to Bob, Pat's dad!!! We won't share the number ;)!!!!

Here Come the Holidays!!

This past week Pat & I started on some Christmas decorating!! I love decorating for the holidays!! I had been so upset because I couldn't find any of my fall decor after the move!! Found it!! It was underneath all of my Christmas stuff!! I was so mad!! Anyway, I'm going to finish up some more decorating when I get off of work and hopefully post some pics!! We attempted to put up some lights outside the house but it is just way too steep above the driveway to get them all tacked up. I think we might just hire some professionals, I don't want Pat killing himself trying to do it from the roof!! He's way too uncoordinated to handle that one :)!!!
I'm at work right now and was just writing the date for some paperwork tomorrow, I cannot believe it is already December 1st!! This past year has flown by!! The holidays always fly by as well with all of the shopping and parties! Also between Pat and I's families we have a lot of birthdays in the winter!!
Pretty soon it will be February and Pat and I will have been engaged for a whole year!! Maybe I should start planning that wedding.... ;) Vegas anyone??

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Thanksgiving was the best ever this year!!! I love turkey, I will eat the leftovers everyday until I can't even think about turkey for another year!!! Pat and I went over to my parents house and celebrated thanksgiving!! I was fun and casual. My grandfather made it!! Today is his birthday, he is 89 years old, still driving and still tells jokes that make sense!!! I would say he's doing great!! He loves Dexter and Dex is game to sit in anyone's lap for hours on end, they were two peas in a pod!
In the evening, Pat and I went down to the Plaza to view the lighting!!! The weather was perfect!! We parked over by the art institute and walked over, drinking hot chocolate!!! SO much fun!!!
Then we went over to visit with Pat's parents and called it a night!! Perfect food, companionship, and weather!!!! Hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving!!!

Ready for Thanksgiving!!!

We are so ready for turkey on Thursday!!! I love Thanksgiving and I am so glad to be off of work this year!! I really got lucky this year because it ends up that I am off Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years!(thats a first)!!
I finally got the photos from the housewarming party!! We had so much fun!! I posted some pics of the landscaping that we had done out front as well, the little bushes and trees are so cute!!
Other than that things have been pretty slow around here without the endless list of projects. I have been studying (when I'm not out shopping) and Pat has been doing what Pat does best, nothing :). We did work on some leaf raking last week and puppy had a blast!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!! Hope everyone is well and enjoy the pics!!
