Friday Funnies - 8.2.13

The first Friday funny of August, what whaaaat?! And it's our 1st wedding anniversary weekend! Other than celebrating our big one year, we don't really have anything else planned besides sleeping in and relaxing! We are getting settled in at Jordan's parents as minimal as possible because I don't want to have to repack/reorganize things when we get ready to move into our own place! But it's definitely no fun living out of a suitcase and having all of our stuff spread out in lots of boxes....but hey, I'll take that over being homeless! Looks like the month of August is going to fly by with my internship still going on, Jordan starts teaching full-time and coaching, our baby shower, and Iowa football starting! Bring on all of the fun times with lots of family and friends! Happy August everyone and enjoy the weekend!

And I am sad to announce that even though this is the first Friday Funny of August, it is also going to be the last....wahhh! Turns out between the internship, setting up our new home, and preparing for Peanut's arrival, turns out I don't have that much extra time to be spending dinking around on the internet! BUT! Rest assured, if I do find things that I still find really funny and entertaining, then I will be posting that because who doesn't enjoy a good laugh from time to time?! Maybe once Peanut arrives and we get in a good routine, I will be able to post Friday Funnies again consistently... until then, keep laughing and loving!

It's the last Friday of July...umm when and how did that happen?! Seriously. What is happening to this summer and why is time flying by?! How are we a week away from our 1 year wedding anniversary already and about 11ish weeks away from Peanut's due date???? Time is moving too fast and it's terrifying!!! This weekend will be anything but relaxing or enjoyable for us unfortunately because it is moving weekend. So that means long days, lots of cleaning, and lots of last minute packing and organizing of our stuff. Ughhh woof. And since we don't have a place of our own, we are moving in with two roommates aka Jordan's parents. Yep, that's happening! While I'm definitely thankful that they are this close by and are able to help us out so we aren't homeless, I definitely hate not having a place of our own to get organized and set up with our stuff. We are hoping this isn't a long-term thing (actually, I refuse to let that happen...) and it would be ideal if this was a 2-4 week thing so then we have late August and early September to be organizing our new place and setting up Peanut's room. I just want a place of our own to call home and a place for us to bring Peanut home to! I know everything will work out eventually and we will make the most of our current living situation but I can't stay it's been stress-free leading up to this point. But hey, we could always be homeless so like I said, I'm thankful Jordan's parents have cleared out their basement for us and essentially set-up our own apartment downstairs! Since our weekend will be spent sweating, cleaning, packing, and moving, I hope you all find time to do some relaxing and laughing for us! Enjoy the last weekend of July and make it a good one!

Friday Funnies - 7.19.13

It's Friday already, say whaaaat?!! I know I say it a lot but this week has flown by.... is that just how it is when you're pregnant that time seems to fly by or is that how it is when you're busy all week working or doing whatever it is that you enjoy doing?! Either way, I'm not complaining if it means the week goes by fast rather than crawling by! And this weekend is shaping up to be another one spent at home doing some packing/moving and then relaxing with Jordan and Paisley! We are still on the hunt for a new place but at least we have a Plan B which consists of moving our stuff to Jordan's parents temporarily and staying there until we find a permanent place. I'm definitely thankful we have this option so we aren't homeless and have to stay in a hotel with our stuff in a U-Haul but I also really like to have my own space! And I want to start getting a room set up for Peanut sooner than later so I'm hopeful that we will find a place to call home in the next couple of weeks or maybe even days! Anyway, hope everyone survived the work week and that you get to enjoy the weekend and summer weather!

So sooo happy it's Friday! That means another week down of the internship....and this weekend my whole family will be here visiting! My niece and nephew have spent the past 3 weeks in Texas with my parents so they're all driving up and will be here tonight! Then tomorrow, my brother, sister-in-law, and sister are coming to stay for the rest of the weekend with us too... it's going to be a full house but I can't wait! It's rare when we're all together so it should be a great weekend full of lots of laughs and good times with each other! This week has flown by but has definitely left me feeling exhausted...mainly because I'm still trying to adjust to getting up so early and going strong the whole day through at work! I just gotta keep telling myself that it will be worth it because I know it will be! Knowing we have a fun family filled weekend coming up definitely helped make the week go by though which is always nice! Hope you enjoy your weekend and don't forget to laugh a little and relax!

Happy Friday everyone and Happy 4th of July weekend!!! Looks like there's going to be some gorgeous summer weather (well, here at least!) so hopefully you all can get out and enjoy it! I have always loved the 4th of July and the atmosphere of it - the fireworks, grilling out, sunny days, and time with family and friends! Plus, who doesn't love to celebrate America's freedom?! Have fun celebrating and be safe... USA #1, love it or leave it!!!

so many American activities...so little time

And just like that, it's the last Friday of June....the madness of this month is coming to a close and it looks like the first few weeks/weekends of July are going to be just as busy as well! But that's how we like things and seem to live - flying by the seat of our pants! After having such an exciting week with the job and internship offer, I am definitely looking forward to having a low key quiet night in tonight with just Jordan! We love our family and friends but this will be the first night where we are home alone without having to go somewhere or meet up with someone or have to do anything.... besides relax, lounge, and enjoy each other's company! Since it's mid-summer, I figured we could use a little baseball humor for the weekend since baseball season is now in full swing and the Cubs are back on the struggle bus. Like always. So the only thing to do about that is find some humor, laugh it off, and remind ourselves that "there's always next year!" (and the year after that, and the year after that, and the year after that....) Hope you all have a great weekend whether it's spent relaxing and doing nothing or entertaining some guests or traveling... it's summer so live it up and enjoy it!

Friday Funnies - 6.21.13

Well it's finally Friday and we have another fun-filled and busy weekend ahead of us! My good friend Leah will be here in a little bit so I'm really excited to get to see her and hang out because it has been far too long since we've been together! And then tomorrow I have a bridal shower for my friend Alyson who is engaged to Jordan's really close friend who he grew up with, Ryan! We are really looking forward to their wedding in September even though I will be 8ish months pregnant...it will still be a great time! And on Sunday, Jordan and I are Godparent's to Lucie and she is getting baptized! Whewww lots of action and lots of family time plus seeing some old friends...should be a great time all around and I'm ready for it! Thankfully I haven't been feeling too exhausted lately and am still able to enjoy all of these get togethers with everyone! Hopefully you all enjoy your weekend and make time for some relaxing and lounging!

I can't wait until my own kid sasses me like that...oh wait, yes I can.

Friday Funnies - 6.14.13

We are getting ready to hit the road to leave for Milwaukee for the weekend and I can't wait! We are going up to my sister's place for a weekend of fun that will include a lot of laughs, lounging, and we are going to see WICKED!!! Ahhh I'm sooo excited! I love a great weekend spent with my sister but a weekend together with a show?! Perfect! Jordan is the only one out of us who has already seen Wicked but he is just as excited to see it again... I somehow already have the entire soundtrack memorized and I've never even seen the show so I definitely can't wait for some of the songs to make a little more sense! June is really shaping up to be a great month and I'm so lucky to have gotten so much time with my family and our friends. Here's to another amazing weekend - hope you all enjoy the weekend as well!

It's Friday and it's girls weekend for me and guys weekend for Jordan! And today is also a special Friday because it's my parents 33rd wedding anniversary! Wow!! Way to rock, Mom and Dad! Hope you have a wonderful anniversary and 33 more years of wedded bliss - you two are my biggest supporters and have always encouraged me and loved me in all that I do. Thanks for being so awesome and the best parents a girl could ask for! Hope you all enjoy the weekend - around here it's supposed to be rainy and gloomy but that won't stop our fun! Since it's my parents wedding anniversary and my mom is spending the weekend with us, today's Friday Funnies is dedicated to moms and the job of being a parent. Enjoy!

Whoop whoop, another weekend is here upon us! And it's the last Friday of May...how is this year just flying by like crazy fast?! Jordan and I have a suuuuuper busy June with something going on EVERY weekend so it will be jam packed but we are definitely looking forward to all of it! We have weddings, baby showers, baptisms, going to see WICKED, and he has a guy's weekend in Chicago while I have a girls weekend with my mom and sister! Ahh I can't wait for all of these fun activities and to see so much of both of our families and friends. It's going to be amazing and I'm so excited! Unfortunately, I have to start off the month of June by working this weekend, blahh! But at least it's my only weekend for work so I guess I can't complain too much... and we are watching Safe Haven tonight for activity so I'm pretty excited to see that (and most likely cry my eyes out) with the other teenage girl patients! Here's to a fun (even though it's work-filled!) weekend and I hope you all have a great kick off to summer break!

Yessssssss it is Friday!!! This week has been awesome and I'm definitely happy it's Friday! Our appointment/ultrasound on Wednesday went great and everything looked perfect! I will have a more thorough update next Wednesday but Peanut looks healthy and is growing like crazy! So happy to have gotten some new pictures from the ultrasound and to hear how healthy we both are! Anyway, I only worked a half-day today and just got home from the vet a little while ago with Paisley. It was time for her to get updated on all of her shots, new heartworm meds, new flea/tick meds, and some ear infection meds....needless to say, that vet bill wasn't pretty but I'm glad Paisley is healthy and all up to date and now good for a year! Now I am all packed for the weekend and anxiously awaiting for Jordan to get home because we are going to hit the road and drive to Lansing for the weekend to spend 3 days at one of my most favorite places ever, The Red Barn Resort! I can't wait for a grungy, relaxing, fun-filled weekend with my family and lots of card games and bags tournaments. It's supposed to rain but no amount of rain can bring down our fun level! I'm just so excited to see my dad (love you mom and wish you could be there too!) and both my sibs along with my niece and nephew and lots of extended family. How I ever got so lucky to have such an awesome family, well I'll never know, but I'm definitely thankful for all of them that's for sure! Hope the week wasn't too terrible for any of you and that you all have a wonderful Memorial weekend and enjoy the extra day off to relax or recover! We are off to the blackhole for cell phone service and I for one can't wait to be cut off from technology and everyone for the weekend to thoroughly enjoy our quality time with each other! Happy Memorial Day!

Friday Funnies - 5.17.13

Finals week is officially over and that means that I am done with school, whoo hoo!!! This weekend is going to be one that's filled with celebrations, good times with friends, and a few goodbyes. I feel like I've been avoiding it all week but now I know the time has finally come and it's time to say goodbye to a few of my close friends as they move to start their internships. It's such an exciting time and I know they'll all have awesome summers, I will definitely miss them! That's why we are going to be doing plenty of celebrating tonight and tomorrow.... of course, as much celebrating as I can do at 5 months pregnant! It's a relief to be done with school and I'm so thankful for having such a supportive husband, family, and friends who all constantly encouraged me and motivated me as I made my way through each class. I'd be nothing without these awesome people in my life today! Here's to a fun weekend of celebrating and looking forward to the future! Happy Graduation to all the graduates and enjoy this weekend!

Friday Funnies - 5.10.13

Is it just me or did this week fly by? Maybe it's just me but wow, I can't believe it is already Friday! Next week is finals week and next week means that a lot of my close friends will be graduating and leaving Iowa City so they can start their internships. I am so sad to see them go but so excited for their adventures they will have this summer! Like I said earlier, this weekend will be one full of celebrations because Jordan's birthday is Saturday and Sunday is Mother's Day! I hope the weather stays nice and sunny like it's supposed to so that we can thoroughly enjoy the weekend! I'm going to some garage sales and off to do some thrifting before Mr. E gets home and we settle in for the night with dinner and a movie! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Friday Funnies - 5.3.13

So apparently living in Iowa means that April showers brings MAY SNOW AND RAIN STORMS!!! Whatever pissed off Mother Nature, I wish she would get over it and bring on the Spring weather all ready! Just a few days ago it was the high 80's and now the past two days, I have been wearing my winter coat! I can't handle all of these abrupt changes in the weather! Today since it was so rainy and gloomy out, it made for the perfect napping weather...so after working my half-day of four hours at the hospital, I came home to lounge with Jordan, snuggle with Paisley and get a nap in. Which then lasted for four hours but it was fantastic! That's my kind of perfect 8-hour work day! The rest of the weekend looks like it's supposed to be gloomy and rainy so that should help be motivation to study and get to work on my last few projects for the school year. So happy to almost be done for the semester...for good! Can't wait for all the fun festivities we have planned coming up this summer so I just want the nice weather that goes along with it all! Have a good weekend and make the most of it!

I love Friday's and I especially love only having to work half-days on Friday's! I could only be so lucky to have a real full-time job where I only have to work half-days on Friday's....maybe that will happen! This week has sort of drug by after having such a fun weekend with my family last weekend and with all the horrible things happening this week through the US. Not to mention, since the semester is winding down, that means it's time for semester end final projects, papers and presentations so I have been busy chipping away at my to-do list for school! I'm just so relieved and happy that it is my last semester...so these are all of my LAST papers to write and presentations to make! It's exciting to think about being done with school but also kind of scary. I mean, I've been a full-time college student for the past 6+ years so it will be quite the adjustment to the real world but I'm sure I will find the perfect job to help me make a smooth transition! This weekend the weather is FINALLY supposed to be sunny, ahhh!! It has been rainy and gloomy for the past 4 days it seems so the sun is definitely gladly welcomed! Jordan plans to work at the golf course and do some golfing of his own while I do some school work and things around the house like some serious spring cleaning and organizing...can't wait! Hope everyone has a fun weekend and some nice weather to top it off with!

Oh yeah! It's Friday! And it's a fantastic and fabulous Friday because in less than 3 hours, Jordan and I will be on the road traveling to Madison to see my family for the weekend!! Whoo hoo!!!! I haven't seen my Dad since November, ugh! I also haven't seen my mom, brother, or sister since February, double ugh! So I am freaking out with excitement knowing that I get to see my family so soon and spend the whole weekend with them! Nothing specifically is planned and that's the best kind of family time! Just lots of relaxing, catching up and enjoying each other's company! I'm sure my mom and I will do some baby stuff and shopping at some point but other than that....I just can't wait to see everyone! This week surprisingly went by fast even though we have such a fun weekend planned. I feel like that never happens! Hopefully the week went by fast for all of you and I hope you each have a great weekend too and get to spend some time with those who fill your life with love and laughter! Enjoy the weekend!

Friday Funnies - 4.5.13

Wow! Well it has definitely been quite the exciting and eventful week around here to say the least! We have completely went public with our news about Baby E by posting the announcement and by updating all of the weekly pictures onto my blog. It has been so fun and heartwarming that's for sure! So many people love and support us and are sooo excited for the arrival of Baby E. That just adds to our excitement and we can't wait! Things are good so far and I hope they continue to be this great! Anyway, it's Friday, whoop whoop!!! Jordan is working at the golf course this weekend since it is officially golf weather so he's going to be busy working there tomorrow and Sunday! Looks like plenty of time for me and Paisley to get some chores done around the house, snuggling watching some movies and caught up on school work! I love lazy weekends! Next weekend we are heading up to Madison to be with my family and I FINALLY get to see my parents! Ahhh! I haven't seen my Dad since November and my mom since February....super crappy! So I'm bursting at the seams with excitement knowing I get to see them in one week!!!!! Hope you all have a fantastic weekend and do something that you enjoy with people you love!

well I WAS going to be productive this week but since our big announcement, my phone and Facebook have been blowing up!

smart girl to say Mom is her favorite... :)

Friday Funnies - 3.29.13

Welcome Friday, you are finally here! And I'm still smiling knowing that we are sharing and spreading the news of Baby E's arrival. I still just can't wrap my mind around the fact that I'm pregnant....crazy stuff! Anyway, this week was pretty low key considering I was still in spring break mode and so that meant lounging, napping, more lounging, no studying, cuddling with Paisley, movie night with Jordan..........and repeat. Whoops. Guess that means I better be productive this weekend! Oh but it's Easter this weekend so that means enjoying some Easter candy while being productive. We will see how that goes! We are heading up to Cedar Rapids for the large part of the weekend to spend some time with Jordan's family and then some family friends on Saturday and then more family time on Sunday. We will mix in the March Madness games too, of course. Can't be missing those! Since the Easter holiday is upon us, let's all have a laugh at some poor kids who are now forever scarred by the Easter Bunny. And mental note: I don't ever want to puke my children through something like this....the pictures are funny but oh so terrifying at the same time!

Friday Funnies - 3.15.13

Whoo hoo, so happy it's Friday! And so excited to leave for Florida tomorrow! It's going to be a jam packed, incredible, emotional and all around amazing week! Tonight Jordan and I plan to take it easy and enjoy some homemade dinner and a movie together... I guess I better get packing and finish some laundry so I can spend the night relaxing and cuddling with the hubs and pup! I hope everyone has a great weekend and a fun spring break if you have next week off as well!

wish you were joining me on the trip!

How did you know I want this?! How? HOW?!!!

I am as emotional as Lily just watching her reacting to her birthday surprise!

Friday Funnies - 3.8.13

Another week down and another weekend coming up...so thankful it is Friday! And the weather forecast doesn't have any snow for the next few days except maybe some late Sunday/early Monday so hopefully that doesn't actually happen. It's supposed to be mid-40s so I'm not even sure how snow would happen and I'm hoping it doesn't at all! I am just sooo ready for spring! I want to be wearing some ballet flats and my Sperry's, not my big Uggs and boots and knee length down-feather coat anymore! Tonight Jordan is going to Poker Night with the guys and I have a crochet project that I want to finish and also a paper I need to finish and submit for class! Friday night or not, I am just glad it is the weekend even if I do work on some school stuff! And daylight savings in this weekend, yes! I don't care about losing an hour of sleep considering I've been sleeping 10-13 hours A DAY the past three weeks anyway! I am more excited for there to be sunlight in the mornings when I wake up AND still sunlight when I come home from work/class late in the afternoon by 5pm! And who doesn't enjoy some sunlight?! It just makes everything better! I'll take some sunlight along with some funny and sneaky kids and that makes for a great day! Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy your weekend!
