Have You Missed Me?

I know it's been forever since I've posted. The new job is keeping me so busy that I am exhausted when I get home at night and not in the mood for blogging. I love being back at work...feeling productive and social again. It's a great group of people that I'm working with and I think this could be a really long term thing.

Lots going on in our world...the best is that my nephew, Cory, is back from Iraq safe and sound. I haven't seen him since he's in Louisiana but my sis has sent pics and hopefully I'll talk to him soon. It's such a relief to have him home!!!

My sweety has been home now for a couple weeks and that's been awesome. He's so much fun to have around and handy too!!!

On to more fun things. Only 10 days before we're off to Italy again!!! I am so psyched but so busy that I hardly have time to think about it. Here's a little taste of where we're gonna be hanging out!!!

f course, being in Italy means we won't be with our friends here in the hood. Speaking of which, here's some pics from our Friday martini party...good times were definitely had by all. We each made two kinds of martinis (at least that was the plan...we never made it to my 2nd)...but Judy & Kristi had a lemon drop contest....girlies, both were delish!!!! Here's our awesome neighbors!!!

Here's me and my sweety...loving my hair, by the way, and loving my sweety!!!

And, of course, here's a pic of both of my babies!!!

And while you're out here in blogland, pop on over to Robin Sparrows One Lap for Life blog and read about his fun driving adventure. You'll find him here at http://onelapforlife.blogspot.com/
