Time flies

I am currently sitting here at work thinking about how fast time flies!! Soon, it will be 2009!! I have high hopes that 2009 will be fun!!
2009 is bringing new babies and happy homes and weddings!!
My sister is getting married this year!! How crazy, I still remember when they first met senior year of high school!
prom dresses
picking colleges
graduation
funny how your priorities have changed so drastically!!
Just the other day they celebrated 6 years together!! It is finally sinking in that its going to happen in June!! They have been engaged for the past year and a half!! I can't wait!! (i better start working out again)

Patrick's sister Laura is at the hospital in labor down in Columbia. He can't wait to go see her. Hopefully, he'll hold off so I can go too!!
Not fair when you have to work to pay the bills :(
I was thinking earlier when we were on the phone "Does this mean I'm going to be an aunt???"....I don't feel like an aunt... I guess its not as fun when when its not on paper.

I wonder if we will ever get married :)

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 ;)!!!!
