Happy Birthday To Me!

YAY! It's my birthday!! It's 1:00am in the morning and I'm sitting here waiting for my brother and Kelly to show up. They are on their way to visit us. I tried to sleep for a little while, but i'm too excited and can't sleep any. Hopefully they will be here soon!! That's all for now. I'll write more after this weekend!!

YAY for making it a quarter of a century!


Man I'm old.....

Fun and Vacations

I realize my posts are rather boring, but there really is nothing going on here in the wheat field.

I did manage to get SOME of my list accomplished from my previous post. I didn't clean anything yet, but I do finally have the laundry done...thanks goes to Jon for that accomplishment. With me working 2nd shift, Jon usually is the one that has to finish things I begin during the day because I run out of time.

Speaking of job, I had a great day at work. I worked with some great people who just love goofing around and we even had the customers joking around with us. It was great and the 9 hours flew by!! However, I hope to not work any more Sundays. We shall see.

My brother and his fiancee Kelly are coming to visit us this weekend for my birthday! YAY!! I am so excited I don't even know what to do with myself. Kelly has not visited us yet since she and Dave began dating...it's not her fault though, Dave has been lazy about coming to see me!! I'm glad they will get to see our house and where we live, even if it is just for a few days. We have a blast when we are all together. I love them both to pieces!!

Let's see.....Oh, the weekend after they visit is the weekend of the 4th and Jon and I are planning on just hanging out here since gas is up to $4.15!!! Plus, we have to begin packing for vacation!! We are headed to Chesapeake, Maryland for a week long family reunion with my side of the family. We always have a blast at these family get togethers! Oh, by we, I mean, Me. Jon has never been to one of our family reunions yet.

My mom's side of the family has been having family reunions every other year since I was born. We have been to some amazing places of the years and done some amazing things. We have been on cruises, stayed at dude ranches out west and in British Colombia, we have rented HUGE houses to house all 20+ of us in places like Aspen, CO all the way to Virgina Beach, VA. My family and I have great memories and wonderful stories and it's just been a great tradition.

Sadly, we don't know how much longer we will be doing these family reunions. My grandparents have been the ones to arrange for the reunions and as they are getting older every year, the time will come when they are just to tired to plan it. I'm not sure whether or not my mom and her sisters will keep the tradition alive, but we shall see. It's such a great way to see my relatives that live in Hawaii, California, Tennessee and Ohio. We truly are scattered throughout the US.

For this family reunion we have rented an Estate on the Chesapeake Bay. It has a Manor House, Cottage, and a Fun Center. Check out the link: http://www.vrbo.com/15537
They don't have a lot of pictures of the place, but you can get the idea. I will post our own pictures when we get back from the trip. I'm so excited to go on vacation.

Well this post has turned out longer and more interesting than I expected. I hope you all have a wonderful week!! Thanks for visiting!!

~~To Do Lists~~

It's only 11am and it feels like it should be 3pm. This morning I have accomplished a ton. At least it feels like that. The reality of it is, I haven't accomplished much. I deposited checks, stopped by Jon's work, and got the dogs into the kennel for while we are on vacation. I still have to to:

Take Toby to the vet

Start laundry

Clean the guest room and bath

Clean the rest of the house

Make dinner--which if you know me, this is a HUGE task!

Now that I have actually typed everything I need to do, I need to go. Sorry this post is so boring, but there just isn't much going on around here in the wheat field. I'll have more to say after my birthday on the 28th!!!

This and That

The new job is going well. I'm surprised that I actually like it. Obviously it's still a little nerve racking, but I haven't gotten a hold of everything yet. I'll get there.

My parents are coming tonight. They are just visiting until I go to work on Friday afternoon. It won't be a productive visit since they wont be here very long, but that's okay. My dad will have to come back at some point because he is putting up our crown molding in our bedroom once we get it painted. We are looking forward to seeing them.

I, personally, am looking forward to the Pens game tonight!! I hope they kick some Red Wings butt!!! In my opinion, the Red Wings don't deserve the Stanley Cup!! They have had it enough in the past years, it's time to share!!!

Well I would love to write more, but I have to put together the guest room and pick up all before I head to work.

LaterS!!
