New Years MeMe

Weekend Over

This weekend flew by!  It was so fast!  I wish I was off tomorrow. 

Today Pete let me sleep til 11:00am!  Love it.  I love sleeping  late.  When I got up we went shopping to get the things needed for Laura’s shower.  We went to Michaels, the Factory Card Outlet, Target and Sam’s Club.  I got all kinds of good stuff and spent tons of money!  I am so excited about the shower.  I can not wait to see all the baby stuff!

I have not felt the best all weekend, so I spent alot of time laying on the sofa with my laptop planning stuff for the wedding!  It is creeping up on my so fast.  I need to pick a dress.  In two weeks Shannon is coming for a visit so we are going to go to some dress stores.   I can not wait to see her!

Speaking of friends….I talked to Momma Michele for over an hour tonight on the phone.  She is a riot!  It was so great to talk to her.  She is such a sweetie!

Well I am hitting the sheets now!  I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

No Title

I can not think of a Witty title for this post and I don’t want to hurt my brain any trying to think of one.  Pete and I are watching the Giant’s game.  They are his home team.  I really hope they win.

We have done nothing at all today!  It has been so very nice.  I slept in until 10am this morning and it was heavenly!  Then I got up and we watched a movie.  Stick it!  LOL  It was ok, kinda along the lines of Bring it On.  Pete made breakfast during the movie.  Around 1 or so Pete was in a snuggly mood so we headed up to take a nap.  Well he snuggled up and napped while I came down stairs and cleaned the kitchen!  I also put a pork roast into the crock pot!  I heated up pizza from last night and settled into the sofa to cruise the Internet.  It’s 10:30 and that is what I am still doing.  I have engrossed myself in wedding and honeymoon planning today!  I have a tentative itinerary for Walt Disney World Planned! It has been a nice day.  Just me and my Sweetie! 

Tomorrow we are heading to Sam’s Club to get some stuff to take to our friend’s E & K’s house for New Years Eve.  I can not wait to see them!  I also need to order Laura’s Shower cake.  Her shower is next weekend.  I still have so much to do for it!  It will be great! 

No one has updated their blogs today.  Not one blog that I read has had an update today!  Come on gals!  LOL   

He Got Engaged!

On Christmas he got engaged.  I always thought that I would be sad when I found this out.  I loved him for so long.  Like totally head over heals loved him.  I loved himin a way I have never loved anyone.  Until I met Pete.  Nikki compared my early love and constant rambling about Pete to my love for him.  I stopped “LOVING” him a while ago (back in 2006).  I came to the realization that I love Pete deeply and way differently then I loved him.  I have been friends with him almost 20 years.  That is a long long time.  Most of this time I was loving him.  Today when I found out about his engagement I was happy for him.  Happy for her too.  I have met her and she is sweet!  She is a really good girl.  The kind of girl he deserves!  I called Nikki as soon as I found out about this engagement.  She asked me if I was jealous.  I told her nope not at all.  She said not even a teeny tiny bit?  I thought about it and I am not.  It feel good to just be happy for himwith no jealously whatsoever!          

Week 35

Week Thirty-Five

• The average baby weighs almost five and a half pounds now.
• Most babies born now will survive and without many long-term problems.
• Fat accumulations plumps up the arms and legs this week. These layers of fat will help her regulate her body temperature. They also provide those cute little dimples on elbows and knees!
• Her hearing is fully developed, so be sure to talk to your daughter. Do you find yourself speaking in a high-pitched tone? That’s okay since some studies show babies respond better to higher pitches.
• It’s getting crowded! Your baby is now taking up most of the uterus and you may even feel like your chest has run out of room! Soon enough though, baby will move down and you’ll be able to breathe easily again (just not walk so easily! Ha!).
• Your baby is 18.2 inches (46.2cm) long and weighs 5.3 pounds (2383gm).

Happy Birthday!

Today Nikki joins Crystal and I in being 29 years old! We all think of ourselves as the same age, but Nikki has got 6 months or so on us! Once we went to a college party in another state and stayed at a hotel for the night, Nikki was free cause she was still under 18! LOL I guess that made the two (old) eighteen year olds her Parent or Legal guardian! LOL

I want to wish Nikki a VERY Happy Birthday today! She is my oldest and dearest friend! I don’t know what I would do with out her!

This picture was taken about 10 years ago, but is still one of my favorites of Nikki & I!

Merry Christmas

Was it a great Christmas for you?  It was for me! 

Pete and I woke up at 7am!  We were just like little kids!  We headed downstairs and started cooking breakfast.  Laura and Brandon showed up right on time and then we all sat around waiting for my Dad.  He is ALWAYS late.  We all enjoyed a great breakfast and then the gift opening started.  We always go one at a time opening presents so we can all watch each other.  It takes a long long time, but we have fun.  I got sooo many great presents this year!  I am so spoiled!

This year I got: A great Book on Walt Disney’s life; a Calendar; a CD holder for the car; a Snow Globe (of course, Pete has got me one each year we have been together, not to mention my WONDERFUL engagement snow globe); Gilmore Girls Season One in DVD; a Bath Pillow; Mammoth Crocs; a 2 GB memory Card for my Camera; two Christmas Ornaments; a new Can opener; Hairspray on DVD; Mini Muffin pan; Perfume; 2 gift certificates for the nail salon; 2 Disney Snow Babies; a Vase; Candy; Magnets; a Picture Frame; Jewelry ( ring and earring set); a Coach Wristlet; a digital Christmas Tree Ornament; Real Pearls – Bracelet, Ear Rings and Necklace; A really cool Picture Frame that spells out DISNEY with the letters as openings for Pictures; and of course stocking stuffers!

After presents we watched the parade!  I love the Parade from Disney World.  It isn’t live, they tape it the first weekend in December.  One year I am going to be there to see it!

My Dad and Brandon had to work so we had breakfast and then around 1:00pm I made snacks, Meatballs, Cheese, etc. So they could eat before heading off to protect and serve!  Laura Pete and I watched Halloween after my Dad and Brandon went to work.  I fell asleep of course.  Brandon was able to swing by for dinner, which was nice.  Laura was tired and went home around 6:30pm.

  Pete and decided to head to the movies!  We went to see the new National Treasure Movie!  WOW was it good!

Christmas is over, I am getting ready to head on to bed.  I wish I didn’t have to work tomorrow!  One more day off would have been nice!  The pictures from my day are here!  

Christmas Eve

I can not believe that it is already Christmas Eve!  Wow did the hoiliday sneak up on me this year!  Tonight Pete. Laura and I went to visit Nikki, Jason & Ryleah! 

When I walked in the door Ryleah ran over and gave me the biggest longest hug ever.  I have really missed her.  She is soo sweet!  I just love her to pieces!  Nikki made a great spread of good Christmas goodies for us all and we had a great day with Great friends.  I posted my Pictures to Flickr of course! 

We exchanged gifts and Ryleah seemed to like the presents we bought her! 

When we finally got home I dropped Pete off to wrap my presents and I went to Laura’s for a while.  After hanging out with Laura I came home and finished up getting out the plates and cups and everything for our Christmas Breakfast! 

I am about to head to bed, it is almost midnight!  I hope Santa treats you all good this year! 

Bloggy Parade of Homes

I am a bit late jumping on the Parade, but I wanted to get my Holiday Decorations posted!  I didn’t decorate too much, I have so much going on with the Baby Shower and all so I kept it simple this year!

 

Miracle on 34th Street & Ace of Cakes

After the adventures in Target Laura and I went to pick up our boys and we headed to 34th Street!  There is a block of 34th Street in Baltimore City the decorates like you can not believe!  Both sides of the street!  Every year we go to look at the decorations.  You can read about it HERE!  Of course I took Pictures.  Ther are all HERE.  Below are my favorites!

After the light viewing we headed over to Remmington Avenue (since we were in the neighborhood) to look at the Charm City Cake Building. No one was there, but I took a few pictures. Charm City Cakes is the place where the Food Network’s hit show Ace of Cakes is filmed!

Comcast SUCKS!

I hate comcast!  I hate that the damn channels never come inclear; I hate that we have to watch the HD channels now to even see the network channels;  I hate that I have called them 250 times to come fix it and they come and NEVER FIX IT;  I hate that I am now stuck with them for internet service too and I can’t just call up and cancel or I would be “unconnected” from the web!  I think I am going to call direct TV again since we have had a tree out back cut down and hopefully they can get a signal.  I also think I may switch to verizon for internet.  I know DSL is a bit slower, but COMCAST sucks!

Good Stuff

Today was a good day at work.  It was our Holiday party day!  When I got to work there was a pile of gifts on my desk!  I got a stuffed Mickey and Minnie from my Secret Santa; a $50 gift card for Target from the boss, that I plan on using tonight to finish my shopping; a tin of home made cookies; a Christmas Ornament; a Bath and Body Gift set; a Pin; a Photo Album, Christmas Sock, Post it Notes and a candle.  I got some lip gloss and lotion too!  It was a great haul!  We went to McCormick & Schmicks for a holiday lunch.  It was a fun time.  I also ran into an old High School friend, Tajuan.  When we walked into the restaurant and he was the host.  We exchanged hellos and then I went to our party room.  He walked by a while later and waved.  The attorney sitting next to me didn’t know I knew Tajuan and he cracked a joke about the host hitting on me.  Then he said that the host was hitting on him.  Dan the attorney said, “That host is hitting on me and he isn’t my type”  I said “What Black guys aren’t your type?”  He said “NO GUYS!”  LOL  So then we are eating and laughing and having a good time and our waiter refilled my drink and then said to me “Lisa?”  I said “Yes?”  and he handed me a paper with Tajaun’s number on it.  Well Dan the attorney was like OMG that hpst was hitting on you and just had the waiter gave you his number!!!  I have heard about this happening, but have never seen it!”  We all started laughing and I finally I told Dan I knew the host!  It was so funny though!  We got to leave right after the lunch and Crystal (my friend at work, not Dakoda’s Mom) and I went to the bank to cash our checks.  Well mine wasn’t signed!  We had to go back to work to get my Boss to sign my check, and then I had to go BACK to the bank!  UGH what a pain!  I still picked Pete up a hour early and Laura and I are heading out to finish our last bit of shopping!   

To end a good day, Pete got some GREAT NEWS!  He got a $6,000.00 raise!  I am soo excited, this couldn’t come at a better time with the wedding in the near future!  I am so proud of him, he also got a great promotion!

Candy Making

Last night my favorite little guy, Dakoda came over to help me make some candy (and also to give his mom a break so she could finish her Christmas wrapping).  Dakoda is so funny.  He talked my ear off on the way from his house to mine.  I love when he tells stories, he gets so animated and excited.  He loved our Christmas tree and needed to know where all of the super heros were.  We made some yummy Christmas Candy.  You can see the pictures here! 

 

We had such a fun time.  I love being able to spend time with my favorite kids!  I think he had a fun time too!  I am going to wrap up some of the candy he made and send it to his house so his Mom and Grandmom can taste the goodness he helped make!

Week 34

Week Thirty-Four

• Your baby acts completely like a newborn, with her eyes opened when awake and closed when sleeping. You may also find her settling into more of a routine for sleeping & awake times.
• She has learned to blink. She can also see more clearly when there is a bright light on your stomach and probably has the outline of all your organs memorized!
• Antibodies from your blood are being tranferred to him. These immunities continue to build until birth. Then breastmilk will add even more protection against disease.
• Your baby may have already turned to a head-down position in preparation for birth. If he is your first baby, he may be settling into the pelvis with his head pressing against your cervix.
• Fingernails have reached the end of the fingertips now. She may scratch her face even before she is born!
• Your little one’s length is 17.7 inches (45cm) and weight is 4.7 pounds (2146 g).

9 Years Later

What a differance 9 years makes. Look how young we looked! LOL

Then:

Now:

At lunch we were talking about life long friends and which friends you have had the longest! Nikki and Crystal have been my Bff’s for ever. Nikki and I since we were 8 years old and Crystal and I since we were like 17 or so. I am more then lucky to have these girls. I can go to them with anything. It is funny because stuff just doesn’t embarrass us. We have really grown up together. Nikki is now married with Ryleah and Crystal has Dakoda, I am engaged. It is so weird to know we used to do things like stay up all night drinking ourselves into a stupor; going to clubs after spending hours making ourselves beautiful and getting drunk in my room; throwing some of the best parties; or following stranger guys around in the middle of the night only to end up in a slow speed chase (we hid down a dead end street and escaped them)! Now when we get together it is usually for lunch and playdates with the kids, but we still share secrets and gossip like teenagers! It’s good to have friends!

I am Legend

Yesterday Pete I went to the movies.  It is one of our most favorite things to do.  We both have been wanting to see Will Smith’s new movie I am Legend.  It was great.  I really like it except for……… (spoilers ahead)

Over Already??

So the weekend is coming to an end.  Sometimes I really hate Sundays, especially Sunday nights!  We are watching the finale of Survivor.  I really like this show.  Pete and I started watching it the year we got together.  Neither one of us had watched it before.  Now we are hooked.  It is our reality TV fix until American Idol starts up. 

Friday night Lauren and I went to the mall to work on a little Christmas shopping.  I got a few things I needed to cross of my list.  I still have to finish next weekend after I get paid!  UGH! 

Lauren and I had a great time together.  She is one of my favorite people.  I am soo proud of her.  She is in 10th grade now and is growing up so fast.  She is an amazing dancer, she takes classes at both school and at a private studio.  She had preformed in quite a few dance concerts with her classes and I never miss one.  She also has had some great solo performances.  She is one of the stars of her high school dance program.  She is also a varsity Soccer Player and Softball Player.  You would think with all of that she wouldn’t have time for anything else, but she does.  She is the vice president of her schools S.A.D.D. chapter and is the 10th grade Student Government representative.  She is always so busy which is good because it helps keep her out of trouble.  Oh and did I mention she takes all GT (gifted and talented) classes.  These are pre AP classes and next year she will start getting college credits for her high school classes.  I am just st proud of my girl!  We have been so close since before she was born.  I would lay in bed with her mom and have long conversations with her big pregnant belly!  I am so glad to have her in my life!

She spent the night on Friday and we stayed up way to late watching movies and having girl time.  I waxed her eyebrows and we painted nails.  You know Pete is so wonderful, he always sleeps in the guest room when I have sleep overs with my favorite kids.  He knows how important morals are to me and he doesn’t want the kids to see us sleeping together before we are married. 

This was a great weekend.  I still need to finish my decorating.   Hopefully this week I will get it all done!

Ring Ring

Over the weekend I discovered my main stone on my engagement ring is loose.  Soon as I told Pete about it he freaked out.  So this morning we drove to the store where he bought my ring.  He had all the paper work with him and since the ring is still under warranty the repair is free.  They will polish is up and tighten up the stone.  I am so sad to not have the ring.  Tomorrow we will go back and pick it up.  I feel naked without it!  I had no idea that he bought the ring in DC!  I also seen how much it cost….yowzers!!!  My boy dropped a bundle in this ring!  We looked at wedding bands, but none looked that good with my ring!  Pete said after the holidays are over we can start a search for a wedding band! 

BFF’s

Today Laura and I headed to West Virginia to visit with my Aunt Joan.  Aunt Joan was my Mom’s Best Friend.  My Mom and Aunt Joan were great friends while they were growing up.  They had sleep overs and dated best friends in High School.  Aunt Joan married her man and my Mom was engaged to hers, but didn’t marry him.  He was a slimeball and she eventually found my Dad.  Thank goodness or I could have ended up UGLY!  LOL  I have seen her ex’s kids.  LOL 

So last year Aunt Joan moved to West Virginia.  It took Laura and I about an hour to get to her house.  Not too bad of a drive.  It is an amazing house.  I came right home and looked up the builder’s web site.  I would love to eventually love to live in this layout of house one day!  

It was a really pretty drive up there and Laura and I rocked out to some Christmas Music!  Check out the link to the pictures! 

Aunt Joan surprised us with  presents.  Both Christmas gifts and Baby and Engagement Gifts!  Aunt Joan’s daughter came over with her little boy, he just turned a year old.  We had a great visit.  We talked about Baby Stuff, Wedding Stuff, My Mom.  Aunt Joan made my Mom a promise when my Mom was dying to stay close to me and Laura, and she really has.  Aunt Joan is a great lady, I love her!!  She reminds me alot of my Mom, they have similar handwriting and mannerisms!  It is bittersweet being around her.  She is great and funny and sweet, but she reminds me so much of my Mom.  She loved my Mom so much and she can’t talk about my Mom with out tearing up.  It makes me kinda sad.  Laura and I talk about my Mom all the time and we never get upset, but when you see someone else so sad it can make you sad too.

I am tired now, it was a long day!

Lucky Girl

I am such a lucky girl.  I am looking at wedding dresses and just thinking about how this is my last Christmas as a single girl.  I am going to be a Mrs. by next year at this time.  I am going to have the wedding of my dreams in like 11 short months.  I couldn’t be more excited!  Pete is a great partner, we always see pretty eye to eye on things and he actually thinks of me alot, he takes good care of me.  Like the other night my back hurt and he slept in the guest room so I could have the whole bed.  I love how he looks at me and how he tells me how cute I am.  I also love how I will peak over at him and he will see me and make silly faces at me.  We also agree on a wide range of things; from important stuff to trivial things such as how to discipline our future children or what movie to go see.  I am lucky to not just have a boyfriend, but someone that I am friends with.  We have lots of people (about 40) so far coming on the cruise with us.  It is so close.  We still have lots of planning to do!  It is truly going to be magical!

Week 33

Week Thirty-Three

• Amniotic fluid is at its highest level during your pregnancy.
• Your baby’s head size has increased 3/8ths of an inch due to rapid brain growth.
• Neurons and synapses are developing in huge numbers — forming connections in your baby’s brain will give him the skills he needs to thrive as a newborn. This week, he may be able to coordinate sucking and swallowing with breathing.
• While most of his bones are hardening, his skull is quite pliable and not completely joined. The bones will be able to move slightly to make birthing easier.
• You baby takes intermittent deep breaths — of water! That’s okay, though since she gets oxygen from the placenta. This breathing exercises muscles and encourages her lung cells to produce more surfactant (a protein essential for healthy lung development).
• If your baby is a boy, his testicles will be descending from his abdomen into his scrotum. Sometimes one or both testicles won’t move into position until after birth.
• Your infant is now 17.2 inches (43.7cm) long and weighs 4.23 pounds (1918gm).

Hate Car Dealerships

Ok so NEVER by a car from Anterpen Hyundai they suck!  I took the car there and left a full one page report about what was wrong with the lights and what not.  So then I call Monday morning to make sure they got the car and understood my notes as to what was wrong with it.  They said they did and they would call me when it was done.  At 4:30 I called them and the receptionist lady said that it was ready and that they reset my Check engine light, but that they couldn’t “duplicate” the Emergency Break Light!  I was so mad.  I know I didn’t make it up so I asked to talk to the service manager.  I get George.  Nice enough man, but also told me they couldn’t “Duplicate” the problem.  Well now I am mad because I wasted time taking this car to them for NOTHING.  I plead with George who takes the car back out for a spin and then calls me to tell me nothing is wrong with it.  OK so now for over a week my Emergency Break Light has been coming on and now suddenly it stops?  What gives?  We go to pick up the car and it takes them forever to give me the keys and all.  I am so mad!  The car hasn’t acted up once though.  I think when they reset the Check Engine light it must have reset the emergency break light too.  Also they didn’t wash the car or anything.  Don’t dealerships usually do stuff like that?  So I guess the car is ok for now, we will see in the next few days! 

False-ees

I am planning on doing my own makeup for the wedding. The wedding will be early and I don’t want to have to worry about getting to the salon before the wedding. Part of the “Make-up” plan is false eyelashes. I want to make sure I know how to do it and do it well so I bought some at the store and I have been practicing! I practiced yesterday and I think that they turned out pretty good! What do you think?

Disney Cruise Line

Hey there!  For everyone who will be joining us on our Disney Cruise Wedding, there is a great show to watch to get some Disney Cruise Information.

engine control room and provisioning areas, its Broadway-style theatre

This is a GREAT show!  Be sure to check it out!  Even if you arn’t planning on joining us, this show may change your mind…. 

Weekend Update

I had a good weekend, How about all of you?

On Saturday Pete, My Dad and I went to the grave yard to put out my Mom and Grandmom’s Christmas flowers.  They look so good!  After that Pete and I started our search for the perfect Christmas Tree.  Over 5 hours later we came home with one tied to the roof of our car!  We were beat but then headed to the store for some new lights.  I wanted some of the old fashioned big bulbs.  We got two packs of them at Target.  We snuggled up and watched TV the rest of the night.  We were beat from Christmas Tree shopping. 

Sunday we got up bright and early and got the tree up.  While we let it settle a bit I made breakfast and Pete burned all of our cardboard in the fire pit out back.  After breakfast and naps (lazy Sundays are the best) I put all the lights on the tree.  Laura and Brandon came over for dinner and some football.  It was nice visiting with them.  After Dinner Laura took me to drop off my car at the dealer for the breaks to be fixed.  I am so mad that it is acting up!

After Laura and Brandon went home Pete and I finished our decorating.   I think the tree looks great!  It is a mix of both of our childhoods!  His Starwars ornaments are hanging next to my Strawberry Shortcake ones!  So cute! 

Here are all of the Pictures! 

Stuff

Real original title, Huh?

I am so glad that it is Friday, and a Payday!  Whoo hoo!  I still am not done my Christmas shopping.  We are not doing tons of gifts this year.  I still am buying for the kids; Dakoda, Ryleah, Katelyn, Ricky, Lauren and Princess; We are buying for our sisters and parents; and we are buying little gifts for each other.  That is about it.  I hate being so strapped for money, but with the wedding, cruise, honeymoon and party coming up we just have to save save save!  It will be worth it though. 

We both are in need of hair cuts.  Poor Pete looks like he has an afro!  We are going to see Brad tonight!  He will take care of Mr. Pete!

We are getting our Christmas Tree this weekend.  I am so excited.  We don’t have a truck to use so it will be tied to the roof!  I am so nervous about it blowing off.  I need to get my Christmas Tree Stand from Laura!  I can not wait to decorate.

I am sad though.  This weekend I was going to go visit Shannon.  We were going to play dress up and I was going to get to see Miss Lorelei!  But now my car is broken.  the Emergency parking break light keeps coming on if I accelerate too fast (like normal speed).  I am putting it in the shop Sunday night to be fixed on Monday.  Thank goodness I have a back up (local use only) car.  I would hate to have to borrow my Dads.  But I am bummed out cause I had a great Saturday planned!

I think I am going make some Christmas Candy! 

Christy shared the recipe with me like 5 years ago.  It is soo good!

Chocolate Toffee Crunch

40 or so Saltine Crackers 1 cup butter (do not substitute) 1 cup brown sugar 1 12 oz. package semi-sweet chocolate morsels Optional Topping: Approx. 1/4 cup shelled walnuts or pecans, chopped ultra fine

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a jellyroll pan (aluminum pan with shallow sides) with aluminum foil. Arrange saltine crackers on foil. Make sure crackers are flat, and pan is full. Melt butter and brown sugar in a saucepan and boil for 3 minutes. Pour over crackers, spread with spoon to coat evenly. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 5 minutes. Remove from oven, pour chocolate chips over and let stand 5 minutes to melt. Spread around with a knife or spoon, then cover with bits of chopped nuts. Place in refrigerator or freezer until hard. Break into bite-size or cracker-size pieces.

Staying in Style

Pete and I are going to have a great honeymoon!  We have been talking about it and we are going to stay somewhere good.  We can’t decide.  The choices are Animal Kingdom Lodge; the Wilderness Lodge; Saratoga Springs Resort or the Polynesian Resort .  We are so torn!  We can not book until April, at 7 months out so I have all this long time to ponder over which resort!  They are all around the same price so that’s not the issue.  There will also be availability to consider since they are all popular resorts!  Which one would get your vote?

Happy Birthday

Today Walt Disney would have turned 106. He was born in Chicago on this
date. Thank you for all the magical moments you have brought to my life
and to the lives of millions of fans all around the world. Thank You
Walt Disney!!

WordPress Mess Up

A few days ago I wrote a post that was supposed to only be for my friends with the password to read.  It had private stuff in it.  Well WordPress messed up and although I had a password in the password field and it was sowing up at Protected; it wasn’t.  It was public for all prying eyes to read!  Opps!  I fixed it by removing the password and then re-adding it.

Week 32

  

Week Thirty-Two

• Your baby is up to 3.75 pounds (1702gm) now and is 16.7 inches (42.4cm) long.
• You might notice she’s not moving around as much now. Don’t worry! She is fine — just running short on room. She still has plenty of growing to do though, believe it or not!
• All five senses are working. Your little one is fascinated and practicing testing these out as much as possible!
• Toenails are completely formed even though she may not be quite ready for a French manicure.
• Hair on your infant’s head continues to grow in. Will she have dad’s brown hair or your red hair?
• Brain scans have shown that babies have periods of dream sleep (REM) starting around the eight month. What do you suppose your Princess is dreaming about?

What a Fun Weekend

We went to Pete’s home state of New Jersey this weekend to put flowers on his Brother’s grave.  We left the house at about 9:30am.  We Went to NJ, pick up the grave flowers from the florist and then went to the grave yard.  We stopped at Hot Dog Johnny’s for a quick lunch.  After lunch we headed on back south an hour or so to our friend’s E & K’s house.  K made a great dinner and Pete’s friend Rick and his little boy Reese came to visit.  We all had a great visit.  I really love E & K.  They are our favorite “Couple Friends”.  k and I get along like we have been friends for ever.  We tease and laugh and have a good old time.  There was lots of wedding talk.  K is more excited about the cruise them Pete and I, I think.  I gave her a Passporter book as a Christmas gift and she dug right in.  She kept saying “Do you know……..”  With every new thing she read.  I am so glad that she will be there for my wedding.  She has even volunteered to be my behind the scenes coordinator.  To make sure everything is going as planned that day.  I have a wedding planner through Disney, but she will be the one to make sure that they wedding planner makes everyone else do what they are supposed to do!  Well Kim went up in her closet and came down in her wedding gown.  She is a good 3 or 4 sizes smaller then she was when she got married, so she had it on over her clothes.  She also had the most beautiful Tiara.

Which I now have at my house and it will be my “Something Borrowed”, along with the prettiest matching necklace she lent me.  It is perfect, exactly what I would have picked.  She just saved me over $200!  This picture was taken at around 2am!  LOL  Aren’t we cute!

When we woke up it was snowing so we all stayed in our Pj’s and hung out til around 3pm or so.  Then Pete and I hit the road, getting home around 7ish.  I don’t suggest the turnpike in the snow.  Not fun!  All in all it was a fabulous weekend!  There are pictures on Flickr and if you are my friend then you get to see cutie Pie Miss J!
