Comb on over...comb on over baby!

AH HA! I am able to load my pictures finally! Woot.

Since Christopher's hair is growing out, he discovered that it's at a great length for a comb over. I personally think he looks either like a nerdy 5 year old, or a creepy old man.

Thoughts?





Wow! What a hottie!!

Also to be mentioned.....

Chris for Valentine's Day got a snuggie....like on the commercial. He modeled it for me.



Lilly approved...




In other news:

Today Lilly had her surgeries =(. She had a vertebra in her tail removed b/c it's been pressing into her bum since she was born =( so now it won't be irrated. Also she was fixed. She has to spend the night at the vet =(!!!!! =(!!!!! But Chris picks her up at 10 am tomorrow. I'll have pictures!

Weight Loss?

Yeah...about that. I'm still plugging away at it. I decided I should do some time of blogging about it, just to keep me accountable. But I do not want to clutter my normal blog with it so here it is

doubt it'll be too interesting, just food obsessed stories. Bwahaha.

Oh BTW...

Pictures of Chris in his snuggie soon to come!

The day of Looooooove!

Happy Valentine's Day! Chris and I have had a lazy day-the best kind to have! He went and got breakfast (a fruit bowl, my fave!) I also got a cute card and some chocolate, Lilly got a new toy, which she loves loves loves!

I got Chris a card and am making him dinner. I also a while back purchased him and Zach those snuggies you see on TV. Pictures to come when I get the program up on my comp.

Anyway, I have discovered that the channel WEtv does all the bridezilla shows and fairy tale weddings, blah blah blah. Chris likes to watch them-especially bridezilla. He says it makes me look like an angel! =). Who could say differently anyway!

So b/c all of this wedding show excitement I have started back up on the wedding planning stuff after taking a few weeks off not to think about it. I have most of our wedding website info up. Take a gander!

Starting to sink in?

Trust me, I realized a long time ago that I'm actually getting married to the love of my life, but after a wedding filled weekend of bridal shows and venue viewing followed by intensive planning, it's all really starting to sing in! I've started to do a few dry runs of our invites, and started to paint hundreds of tea lights (the cases they're in) black for the center pieces. I'm trying to get done as much as possible now. Kudos to Patty and Michelle, they are totally keeping me on track with this all. It's 10 months away, but they keep telling me that it's sooner than I realize..eep.

Chris is very....annoyed with the wedding planning. Don't let him tell you that he had no input, EVERY time I get an idea I run it by him and I'm lucky to get a grunt out of him! Ha! But I suppose that's the norm for men =). He can't complain about things he doesn't like if he doesn't help =).

My camera cord is at home, so no uploading pictures until next week, oh well=).

Work is going really well, I am so happy to finally feel secure in something, and to be fully appreciated for the work I do is a priceless feeling. It proves that the four months of rejection letters and tons and tons of job applications really did well. I think now that I am happier in where I work my over all quality of life is improved a ton, therefore, so has Christopher's =)!

All for now!!!

New Car!

Well the time came. I could have probably put a few hundred more into my old car, but I was advised to listen to my husband (husband to be really) and he said that it was proably a better idea to get a newer car. After searching through Albany dealerships (and there is quite a few) we ended up at Hertz and I got a 2006 Chevy Aveo.











I'm excited, a little nervous, it's a big bill to pay, but I can do it. I hope lol.

Cheers!

New Year's Eve

For New Year's we went to Robbie's and said hi to everyone, then we went off to Zach's where we watched Baby's Mama and played are you smarter than a 5th grader! It was pretty mellow, much more mellow than Patty's evening =)! The highlight of my night was when I saw Guss, Zach's boxer!!!

At first they were asleep but I didn't catch the pic in time!




What a stud =)

Happy birthday dad!

Dad had his birthday on the 31st! He turned the big 52! All of us were there and dad got to open some gifts!


I got him a couple of books on Warren Buffet. Jack + Patty + Michelle + Luke got him shotgun shells and he got a gift card from mom! What a day!!



Cheers to another year dad!
