Sleepless Nights

I've been in bed trying to will myself to sleep since 9 pm... but am getting nowhere! So, I decided to embrace it and update the blog ;) EVEN though I'm getting up at 4am for my first opening shift at work..5am-1. I'll probably regret this late night blogging but for now it works!

Not a whole lot going on,but that always seems to be the case when Joey is away--i miss him terribly! he is moving forward with out-processing, and found out today exactly when he will be home,date AND time! we are DAYS away and i am SO excited!! hopefully the next couple weeks will fly and then ill be reuinted with my hubs.

ive been working more and more, which is good. it = money and keeps me busy! i really enjoy my job at the gym! i did get sunday off though for Courtney's birthday (my SIL). we had a great time at the house with family, having a shrimp boil and hanging out. Becca (other SIL) even made a Nascar cake for her!


and heres us enjoying the shrimp out on the back deck!


we had a good time!

Today Joey and I booked our flight to head out to Michigan for Grandma Brown's 80th birthday, looks like we'll be there Sept.5-8th, and we're still workin on booking a hotel. itll be a fun trip, and nice to fly with hubby instead of flying alone like the first 2 times. im looking forward to it!

Speaking of my wonderful husband, he sent me a suprise in the mail today! he spoils me rotten thats for sure-- he sent me a Kindle! Its made by amazon, and the best way to describe it is like an iPod for books. it holds tons of books, you can buy them at way cheaper prices,it downloads automatically in 60 seconds or less, you can read it outside in direct sunlight with no glare, it has a 'read-to-me' feature that you can have it read to you outloud or hook up some head phones, you can take notes, highlight, theres a dictionary so if you dont know a word just click it for the definition...i mean i could go on and on! i love it!! it hasnt left my hand all day long! he even got me a cute gelskin to slap on the back!


needless to say im excited :) if youre a book nerd like me you should most definitley look into it! another thing for book nerds to look into: goodreads.com -- a friend introduced me to it and im loving it already,definitley helpful!

what else is new? tomorrow is FIL's birthday! excited for that! then saturday is Peyton's 2nd birthday party!!

i also have a work party that day at my bosses house--pool party with the whole staff, and enough food and brew to go around!

For everyone keeping up with Baby Kilian--he is still 'floating on a cloud of prayers' as aunt becky would say! he truly is a fighter :)
and Chase, Tanya and Zack's baby is doing great! i finally caught her on skype today and was able to catch up for a while, AND obviously see the lil handsome guy :)

thats all for now! off to try to get some sleep before that alarm goes off in..oh..about 4 1/2 hours-ha! wish me luck,tomorrow will be a doozy!
