Lately...

Well, I have been quite the blog slacker lately. I just find it hard to really put in the effort to blog. However, I really want to. I really enjoy reading blogs, so I should try and be better. I'm going to really try this time. It will be fun to look back one day at all the happenings of our life. So, to catch you up in the truest fashion, I will use bullet points!

* First, I totally missed Father's Day.. Bad Me.. However, I am so very thankful for my father. He is one of the sweetest most caring people I know. I love him so very much. I am also blessed to have a wonderful father-in-law. He loves me like his own daughter, and I am very thankful for him as well.

* Patrick and I went on a date last night! We went to see Toy Story 3. It was really good. Sad and happy at the same time.

* I made carrot cake cupcakes from scratch with homemade icing and brought them to work today. They were a huge hit! I am pretty proud of my baking skills! I made a cake for Patrick and I, and I think he approves!

* A holiday weekend is fast approaching. I have never appreciated them more. So, next week, I will only have to work 4 days. That's so very nice.

* Lori is coming over for dinner tonight.. We really like to have people over, so it will be fun to cook and entertain her.

* One of best friend's Emily is about to have her baby!!! I just can't wait! I am so excited for her, and hope that I will get to meet Little Cook soon!

* Married life is amazing! Patrick and I are truly blessed. People always told me it was good, but I never knew it was this good. I am very thankful for my most wonderful husband!

* Speaking of my husband, I think he should make a post soon. I am going to work on that!

* I guess that's it! Here is to being a better blogger!!!!

Vacation Needed....Vacation Taken....

Well, Patrick and I desperately needed a vacation this year. Thankfully, we got to go to Destin with his family for a few days. It was wonderful laying on the beach, shopping, and eating good food. It was much needed this year as Patrick and I have adjusted to the working world full-time. I really had a great time. Patrick... well... he got a little red. Wait, he got A LOT RED!!!... I felt so sorry for him. He was just pitiful. But, he did a get a round of golf in. The trip was not all bad for him. Thankfully, he is finally starting to feel better, but has been a real trooper. I am looking forward to the next vacation. The oil had not made it to Destin yet. We are thankful for that, but so sad about all the damaging impacts.

Not too much has been going on. I will try to be better at blogging. Patrick and I have been working hard, and just enjoying married life. We have decided that we live a good life. We are very thankful for all of our many blessings.

Here are a few pictures from our Destin trip....

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

I want to wish my mom a very happy birthday! She also celebrated her birthday on a cruise on June 7, 2010. It was sad being away from her on her special day, but I know she probably had one of the best birthdays ever! Patrick, Dad, Lori, and I celebrated with her before they left.

I love you very much mom. I do not know what I would do without you. Thank you for always standing beside me and loving me always! I hope that you had the BEST day!!!

With love always!!!

Happy Anniversary!!!

Happy Anniversary Adam and Amy!!! (June 7, 2010)

I know this is a little late, but they are on a cruise, so it's okay! I hope you had a great day. I would say it cannot get much better than being on a cruise. Patrick and I wish you many, many more wonderful years. You are such an inspiration and we love you very much. Hope this year is extra special!

Lots of love always!
