This Week's Happenings

The first part of the week was a bit stressful. A friend is in a difficult place right now, so Cole & I spent lots of time trying to help her get things back on track. We are hoping she will get things worked out soon.

Cole & I went to Pita Jungle for dinner on Thursday night. I was craving Hummus & Tabuli! We had the best laugh at Pita Jungle. Our waitress was ass backwards! She brought me a Diet Pepsi when we were done eating, asked us if we were ready for the check when she brought the Pepsi, brought two small to go boxes for a ton of food, brought a large to go box for the small bit left over, asked Cole if he wanted another beer after we paid our bill, asked me if I wanted my Pepsi to go & didn't even use the full Pepsi I already had. We couldn't help but laugh. It was quit comical & made our night!

Cole & I are enjoying our Saturday! Wildflower for breakfast, house hunting, lunch at the Olive Garden, & saw the movie Julie & Julia. We went house hunting in Chandler. There are two neighborhoods in Fulton Ranch that we really love with two floor plans that are perfect for us. The next step will be figuring out if we can move in this market. I liked Julie & Julia. It was cute & funny! Cole wasn't as excited about it & thought it was a little long.

Tomorrow, Cole will be working. I wanted to go to Slide Rock State Park tomorrow, but there is rain in the forecast. I'll have to go another weekend! I will be meeting my friend Marsie for coffee & pedicures. Not a bad alternative :)

An Eventful Week

I was very busy this week! Monday evening, I went to dinner with the CF team at the biltmore. We are improving our CF center & our coach was in town. We ate at Sam's Cafe. The food was good & it was nice to spend some time with everyone outside of work.

Tuesday was Sommer's 15th Birthday. Happy Birthday Sommer! For her birthday, I took her to the Joanas Brothers concert. The music was good & we had fun together. I could have done without all of the little girl's screaming :)

Sommer & me at the Concert...

Wednesday I had a dermatology appointment after work. I had a weird rash on my chest & was able to get a topical cream. It's helping already!

Thursday was my mom's birthday! Happy Birthday Mom! Thursday evening, I had some lab work done because I have been bruising easily. I will get the results sometime this week. I also got my hair cut & colored. I now have long side bangs!

Friday was Kyle's Birthday. Happy Birthday Kyle!

Janelle, DJ, & Melissa are in town this weekend. Melissa brought her boyfriend Zeke with her. He's a really nice guy! Friday night we had a pool party to celebrate my Mom & Sommer's birthdays. We all had a lot of fun!

Saturday, Cole & I drove around the valley checking out locations we may want to buy a house. We love our condo, but are ready for a house again. Not sure when this will happen, but we like the Desrt Ridge & Ahwatukee areas. Saturday night we met my family at Dos Gringos for some Mexican food. The food was good & we enjoyed each others company!

We will be heading over to my parents house this afternoon for some more poolside fun!

The Weekend

Cole & I went to Pita Jungle for dinner on Friday night. It was delicious as usual!

Patch had his stitches removed Saturday morning. He was more anxious than usually, but survived the visit & is healing wonderfully!

Saturday afternoon we went to my parent's house to see Shawnette & Justin. We hung out by the pool, had dinner, & enjoyed each others company! It was nice to see Shawnette & meet Justin! They are newly engaged, relocating to Arizona, & planning on purchasing their first home! Justin wants to be a firefighter & there are lots of great schools here in Arizona. It will be nice to see more of them!

This morning I meet some friends for coffee (Marsie, Mindy, & Erin) and then we saw The Ugly Truth with Katherine Heigl. It was a good movie, cute & funny! It was fun to hang out with the girls.

I thought we were going to Marion & Warren's for dinner, but it turns out we will be enjoying the evening at home. Maybe church tonight. It will be nice to have some down time before the week starts. I have a busy week ahead with something scheduled every night this week!

53 years!!!

Tuesday was Grandma Lu & Pa Tony's 53rd Wedding Anniversary! On Wednesday, we went to Arribas in Ahwatukee for dinner, to celebrate! As always it was nice to see the family & the food was great! Mexican pizza & sopapillas...umm. It is wonderful to see a couple celebrate 53 years of marriage! What a great example for us!

Shawnette (my god sister) & her boyfriend, Justin are in town. They are planning to move to Phoenix at the end of the year & are here house hunting. We are planning to get together this weekend. We haven't seen Shawnette in a while & are looking forward to meeting Justin! It should be another wonderful weekend!

This Week's Happenings

Patch is recovering from surgery. He has not been licking his stitches, so we haven't needed to use the cone! We are very thankful - the biopsy results were negative! Other than looking a little silly with his butt shaved, no one would know he had surgery last week. He's back to normal - rambunctious as usually!

I am attending a 5 week children's grief workshop. We meet from 3-4:30pm for 5 Fridays. This week was week 2. We are reading the book When Children Grieve. So far just basic grief info, but important reminders & insightful discussions. I'm hoping to acquire some helpful grief interventions!

People never seize to amaze me. Cole's debit & credit cards were stolen yesterday & they were used! We cancelled both cards last night, so they didn't have much time. However, they spent $30 at Walmart & $120 at Best Buy. We are hoping nothing else shows up & we don't have to pay for these charges!

Brittney, Michael, & Makayla come over for dinner tonight. We had shish kabobs on the BBQ & a yummy ice cream pie! Makayla was scared of Patch tonight. She would cry if he got too close. Poor thing! By the end of the evening, both Makayla & Patch were more comfortable :)

Britt & Makayla (7 months old). Makayla had to take a bath when she got here. She made a little mess in the car on the way here!

Makayla playing with a spoon!

We had a great night. Makayla & Patch kept us entertained!
