{Fabulous Friday} & Easter Yummies

Happy Friday to everyone! Also, Happy Good Friday and Happy Earth Day! I hope you are able to do something good for the environment this weekend.

This weekend is Easter. So many reasons to be thankful and celebrate. We'll be celebrating a little on our own this year. Lucky for me, I have this weekend off - wahoo!! I have quite the dinner/meal planned for Sunday. Upon talking with some of my family who will be cooking back in Colorado, I was inspired to make something up very similar to what they will be doing. So it will be just like we're there together to celebrate. I'm going to make my Grandma's homemade BBQ sauce and make pulled pork sandwiches. Can you say mouth-watering?! Her BBQ Sauce is soo amazing! 

Easter is another holiday that is hard for me, since I'm missing a very close family member, but it will be good that I'm cooking and making some yummy food that I know he'd be here to share with us. I'll be thinking about everyone back home who will be celebrating and be together. Josh and I will enjoy our hopefully quiet Sunday together.

 I hope you all have a great weekend in store for yourselves! I'll be posting a weekly update tomorrow on how Baby Dewey is doing. Thank you all for your sweet comments and thoughts.

{Fabulous Friday} & Remembering

It is Friday..finally. But for me, it is Thursday and the end of my Thursday. How's that for confusing? I've been working overnights this week so my day is nearly done and I have one more shift to go before my weekend starts.

We have more visitors coming, how lucky are we?! Josh's parents and his sister and her family are coming. We are so excited to see them all! Josh's sister is pregnant too and about 7 weeks ahead of me, with her second child. I'm so excited to be pregnant with her, just wish we lived closer.

Should be a fun weekend. We don't have a lot planned, but that is what is nice about having visitors, it's just fun to hang out and be together while we can.

I've been thinking a lot lately about my Dad and Grandma. Makes me sad to know they aren't here anymore. It has been a very rough couple of months for me, but I'm here and making it work. I've had dreams at night with them in it and it is just so real to me. I constantly think back to different times when we were together and just seeing their face, hearing their voice is so real to me. I am very thankful to have these memories.

Alright, time to put a smile back on my face and head home from work here soon to go to bed.

Have an awesome weekend everyone!

{Fabulous Friday} and remembering last year

Happy Friday everyone, TGIF to you! Unfortunately today is my Monday and at that I'm working overnights so my Friday is done by 7am today! Either way, it is still Fabulous.

What are all of you doing this weekend? Celebrating Valentine's day? Going out of town? Anything exciting? Besides working and sleeping strange hours, I don't have anything planned. 

Looking back to this time last year, we spent our Valentine's day weekend moving. Moving 3 blocks. We moved out of our rental house to Josh's sister's house only 3 blocks away. We had to do this because we were getting ready to move from Colorado to Arizona and had to be out of our house early. So we lived with Josh's sister and her husband and our nephew Kayden for about 2 weeks. How fun! We love them and miss them so much. Hard to believe it has almost been a year already...time flies.

Visiting Arizona for the first time, finding a place to live. February 2010.

 

Happy Friday and Happy Weekend to all!

Another week ends, another begins {Fabulous Friday}

Wow I know I meant to and  actually started a couple posts but I didn't get around to posting anything this week. It's been one of those weeks. The hub and I did some grocery shopping together, for a change, and bought some new pillows. Ours were getting pretty beat up and kinda yucky (from sweating when we sleep, hey you would too if the overnight temperature was in the 90's!). So that's a great start to our spring & summer months ahead.

This weekend will be mostly work for us both. Josh has been busy at work and I am not off until Monday. Beautiful weather here in Phoenix, 72 degrees yesterday! I know, you're jealous right?! It has actually been pretty nice, a strange thing for us for January.

I'm working on a post to show you all some things I won in a giveaway. So cute! I know, I know, gotta get my butt in gear. I've just been so wiped out when I get home from work.

Have an AWESOME weekend everyone!

I decided to join in on the fun that Ria at Life as a Wife!  has put together. 

This weekend isn't anything too exciting for Josh and I. I work Saturday but get Sunday off and Josh gets Sunday off. This is pretty rare actually that one of our days off match up together. The story of our lives, our schedules not matching up.  I also am very fortunate to have a job that makes me work the weekends. So nothing to complain about here. Plus, I usually like working weekends. Its pretty quiet!

I can't believe it has been a full week into the new year already. I have a feeling this will be a great year ahead.

As I'm writing this I realized that I had it in my mind that I worked Sunday but now realize I don't, I have Sunday and Monday off. Silly me, my schedule is never consistent so I have to always check. Oh well, that's good news though since Josh and I will have Sunday off together. My weekend starts on Sunday and then back to work on Tuesday.

I hope you all have a Fabulous Friday & Weekend as well!
