A Rant and Praise....

Yea! I'm finally learning how to do everything and decorate my blog. Thank you Ash for teaching me! :) My times lately have been filled with work. Shocker! I feel like I'm a work-a-holic! I think because I've worked the past 4 weekends and haven't gotten to hang out at home with Sach. When I am home, he's at hockey or out of town for hockey. Hockey, hockey, hockey!!!! I'm beginning not to like it all that much! but he likes it so I'll deal.

It's about this time every 4 years that I don't like very much.....politics. I don't think there are words to describe my disgust with politics. I hate having to choose who to vote for. I have pros and cons for both. I don't understand why people think just because you live in Texas you have to be republican. That is SO not true. If I don't vote then I feel like I'm doing myself an injustice. I'm not real impressed with either candidate enough to lean more one way than another. This is going to be a hard decision for me.

I don't think I had posted yet that my sis is having another boy! Cash is going to be a big brother! Oh and on Sunday Cash took his first steps!! Cassie is so excited she was there when it happened. I think she was worried it would happen at daycare. He's getting so big, yet he's still so little! He's been giving that teethy smile and I love it. He makes me want to have cute babies!! :)

I think this pic shows how little he still is :)

Weekend in a flash....

Today was my last day of ECG class. I never knew a few little lines could say so much. I'm such a nerd! Juli and I went for cocktails yesterday and of course I pull out some ECG's and start telling her all about it! She's such a good sport :) I know she was bored out of her mind. It was nice having girl time though. Carla and Kristin came and joined us later. I haven't seen them in forever and Carla was just married in Vegas! She is now Mrs. Chili Cole :) That's so weird! They are super happy! It was a good evening but like every evening, I pooped out early.
Sach comes home today!! YEA!!! He's been down on the Frio River for a bachelor party. He's not much of a river rat like my friends are but I'm sure he had fun. He's still playing hockey twice a week. He's been struggling on whether or not he wants to dedicate more of his time to coach the little kids team like he has for the last few years. I think he's just kinda burnt out on the whole thing. He says it's because he really wants to start a life with me :) I like that idea!
Everything else is going great! I've made a few mistakes at work, but nothing I can't learn from and do better next time. Everyday is a learning experience and I have a LONG way to go. Somedays it is hard to stay positive but at the end of the day I try to find at least 3 good things I've done that helped someone else. I have a hard time hiding my feelings because my cheeks turn BRIGHT red when I get upset or flustered over something. My coworkers have caught on and some of the doctors as well. They think it's hilarious! I guess the good thing is when they see me turning red they are quick to come and help me :) I work with some really great people!
Cash is getting bigger by the second! He's not far from walking! I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday he couldn't even crawl! He's great though. I think he's head over heels for his Aunt Chels. I act like a complete idiot around him but he loves it!......well..... sometimes he looks at me like I'm an idiot but I tell myself he likes it.
Until the next post......keep smiling! :)

How could I have forgotten?....

I totally forgot to add to my last blog who caught the bouquet at the wedding!! ME!!!!! Sach threatened to tackle me to the ground if I tried :) Afterwards he said he didn't know I could jump so high! I guess I really wanted that thing! :) So if you would all start praying for me that would be great! hahaha!! I really do think he is the one for me and I hope one day to marry him. We'll see :) I can't believe I forgot that totally important detail from the wedding! I had so much fun at the reception! It was great to hang out with Ash and Michael and just have fun! I forgot how much fun it is to dance! I felt like I was at a jr high dance where it doesn't matter what you look like dancing, just that you're having a blast! I don't think we sat out more than 3 songs! I seriously can't explain the FUN factor!! I hope my wedding reception is that fun, it'll be hard. I have some big shoes to fill!

Tandi's wedding.....

Tandi's wedding was a blast! to say the least. I'm so honored to have been a part of it. She was a beautiful bride and her new husband was so happy. They make the cutest couple! Ash and I had a great time at the reception! I wish the happy couple the most love a heart can hold. Here are some pics from the great event!

Me, Tandi and Ash

First day of dove season!

Today was the first day of dove season! My dad and I went out to the lease but they weren't really flying :( I only shot 2 and dad got 2 as well. That makes me feel good cause my dad is a good shot and I'm not! It boosted my esteem a little :) I had my camera with me so of course I had to take some pics!

Gun, vest, stool filled with amo and drinks: Check!

My crazy dad and me!

Sach's birthday celebration!

We had a little birthday party for Sach yesterday out at his parent's house. Some of his hockey buddies came over and some old buddies of his. His entire family was there and my fam made an appearance. Sach will be 30 on Wednesday! I keep rubbing it in that he's getting OLD and I'm still in my 20s :) He had a great time. He set up washer pits for he and his friends to play. My dad and I played his grandad and his great uncle and they beat us! Good washer pitching must run in the family. His mom and I made 50 hamburgers! I haven't patted that many patties EVER! It was a fun party and Sach had fun so that's what matters! I'm including some pics and the new pic up top is from Sunday as well :) I made him wear a pin that said 30 and over the hill!

Sach and his hockey buddies!
