I LOVE YOU ALI AND LUKE!!!!!!

Jesus, bring Your healing touch to Ali and Luke who have suffered the loss of their unborn child through a miscarriage. We believe that life begins at conception and that this baby is now with You. Still, the pain of loss is great. We loved this child from the moment we knew of the baby's existence.
We know this unborn child will never experience the joys of life on this earth. Yet our hope in eternal life remains firm. Help us to remember this child in prayer often, whom we will one day meet in heaven with You. The baby's parents may give birth to other children, yet this unborn child will always be special to them. Please dry their tears and strengthen their faith in You, who are the source of all goodness and love. Amen.

I did WHAT last night

So i fell asleep around 10 pm last night, and woke up around 2:30 am and could NOT fall back asleep for the life of me! After far too long tossing and turning in bed with a million thoughts running through my head i decided to turn on the TV. I watched the movie "Stranger than Fiction" and realized at 4:30 am i could fall back asleep. I got to work today and Adam called and asked if i remembered talking in my sleep last night. "I what??" I have NEVER talked in my sleep according to Adam, so it was quite a strange experience for him. I always fall asleep before Adam. I think he enjoys having control of the remote after i fall asleep, so he is usually awake until around midnight. At around 11 pm he came back into our bedroom where i had been sleeping the past hour. I must have subconsciously heard him moving around because apparently i started talking to him. Here is how the conversation went, again according to Adam:

(Talking with my eyes closed)
Ana: Adam do you have the Job Description.
Adam: For what?
Ana: For Caeda and Chloe (Yes, those are our dogs)
Adam: What are you talking about, what job description?
Ana: For the Analyst position?
Adam: (By this point he said he was laughing hysterically!) What are you talking about?
Ana: I need to get the job description!
Adam: You are going to hire our dogs?
Ana: Yes, the Analyst position for Caeda and Chloe
(My eyes opened)
Ana: Adam, this isn't funny stop laughing at me, i am serious would you answer me?
Adam: (Laughing even harder) I have no idea what you are talking about are you awake?
Ana: Yes, i am awake and you are not answering me.
Adam: (Still laughing) Are you serous?
Ana: You never listen i need the job description for Caeda and Chloe

Adam keeps laughing, and i guess i got so annoyed and laid down and went back to sleep!
CRAZY! What was i thinking? Apparently work has gotten to me so much that i even want to hire my dogs!

This weekend we are going to be busy bee's! Tonight we are going to Club Jager to celebrate Aadam Peters returning from Seattle. Should be somewhat of a college reunion. Tomorrow we have the Bethel Homecoming game at 1. Adam is going to golf with our neighbor before hand. Saturday night we are going to go out to eat with Ali and Luke. Sunday we have Lily's birthday party at the Heerens, should be fun watching her open all of her gifts!

WOW-it's been a while

So Ali called me today and told me that i need to update my blog. I agree. It has been a month. Let's try to recap here with some pictures of what the last month of my life has been like :)

Segway tour and the Mill City Museum we went on which was my parents birthday gift (don't we look awesome):

Another highlight was Adam's birthday party that we had at our house with the family (This actually took place in June, but didn't blog about it.)

Talk about a lot of Yorkies! My dad is holding our two (Caeda and Chloe in the middle) My parents (Chewy on the left) and Bridget's mom's (Annie on the right).

Don't ask, it's a werid doggie carrier????

The final set of pictures was our cabin adventure over labor day weekend at my godfathers cabin on Sullivan Lake. It was relaxing and just what the doctor ordered. We even took Tuesday off for it. It was raining that day, but it was nice because we just stayed inside and did a puzzle.

The last day we were at the cabin we brought the top of our wedding cake over and we all got to eat some. YUMMY! After a year of being in the freezer it still tasted just as good as it did the day we were married. OK maybe not just as good, but it was still good!

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, so basically i just wrote 16,000 words...good for me!

Until next time :)

FRIDAY

Finally it is Friday. This week at work it has been absolutely nutz!! I don't think have had the opportunity to breathe let a lone eat a peaceful lunch this week, therefore i am thankful it is Friday. I met Ali for dinner yesterday, it was so great to catch up. It felt like ages since i saw her last. Today we have a golf outing at Rush Creek for work which will be a lot of fun, and i get to leave at 11...yeah for company events. I feel all professional with my new golf clubs that Adam bought me. People around the office have already said i'd better be good because i have new clubs. I just tell them...you just wait and see. It is a best ball tournament which will be nice, because then i get to pick my ball up and move it up to the farthest ball hit every stroke. AND IT IS ACTUALLY LEGAL! Usually i just kick my ball onto the fairway, or out of the trees and count it as one of my many mulligans. But this time i don't even have to call it a mulligan! We have a dinner afterwards, so all in all it will be a great Friday, and it is even nice out! Tomorrow my parents have our big family birthday party surprise. Every year instead of giving us gifts they plan a big surprise and take us for the day. I am really excited and filled with anticipation...Adam even is coming this year! I will update on Monday to let you know 1) how golf was and 2) what the big birthday surprise is.

YEA FOR FRIDAY!

YEA FOR ALI AND LUKE!!

I found out Friday that Ali and Luke are going to have a baby!!! I couldn't be happier for the two of them! CONGRATS you too, and like i said in Ali's comments, i am going to be touching her tummy once it starts to grow!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! I LOVE preggo tummies!

Here's to Steph and Brandt

4 short years ago Stephanie and Brandt were just about to walk down the isle to get married at this time today. Today, 4 years later, they are happily married with their little bundle of joy Addison Noelle. Here's to you both! Congratulations! That was SUCH a fun day, and i even caught the bouquet...it only took 3 years after for me to get married, but it WORKED! Love you both!

William Hung?

So last night i hosted an event for CarVal at the Saint Paul Saints game. We had a buffet before the game, and then sat as a group and watched the game. About the 3rd inning, none other than William Hung came out from the dugout, stood on the top of the dugout, and sang some random Rock song....RANDOM! Who decided that William Hung would come to the Saints...I don't think that most people believed it was him, because they were walking right by him and not even really looking at him. About the 7th inning we were all wondering if William Hung was going to come back out, because you can't sing at the Saints, have your name be William Hung, and not sing "She Bangs." So thankfully at the end of the 7th inning, William Hung struts back out and walks ontop of the dugout, and sang "She Bangs" This time the audience was totally into it, singing with him, doing the famous circular arm movement, and there were people actually pushing up to the fence to take pictures of him. The funniest part was, that instead of people taking pictures of his face, they were taking pictures of the back of his head, because he was facing the baseball players the whole time he sang "She Bangs." I don't know what he was thinking???

The game turned out to be a lot of fun, we smoked the other team, and had some good employee/intern bonding. I am glad my planning went smooth, and nothing backfired on me!!

Go WILLIAM HUNG .... hehe

P.S. Congrats to my dear friend Angel...she's PREGGERS!!! Way to knock her up Joe!! So excited for Baby Antonello!!!
