Coming Home

From A Million Little Things

I am about to get on an airplane here in VA to return home. After 2 work weeks--and a lot of stress, I am so ready to go home and see Joe. And not just because I've been waiting to see Harry Potter with him--I've just missed him. He's my favorite.

Wanna Laugh?

A friend of mine...who I think wants to remain anonymous regarding this endeavor is writing a very funny fictionalized blog "Why This Mormon Girl Stays Single".

Read it. You will laugh.

No posts this week....

Sorry I am still out of town on business in VA. And I am out of pre-written posts. But I'll be back sometime next week--hopefully getting on with that quiet book. I know I have at least one post to do on that. Until then...I just have to brag that I was very brave and rode this rollercoaster on Saturday (second row, not the first). And yes, I screamed like a maniac.

Things I Love: My Husband's Voice

My husband likes to sing, which I have posted about before (which some links to MP3s/videos, including Rubber Ducky of which I am quite fond).
This Christmas (yes I'm that far behind on blogging family photos) he sang with a men's acapella group that performed at a company Christmas party and then did a little concert for family and friends at Hale Center Theater (I have no recordings this time0. I'm so proud of Joe, he has such a great talent for singing and loves to perform. I'm glad he's kept up with the hobby even though he's so busy.

I always hoped I'd marry a man who was a good singer and was delighted to find that among more essential traits Joe is also an excellent tenor. So fun.

Sadness

Ladies. I feel so bad. The Shade free camisole promotion ended yesterday at Thursday night at midnight so i went to go send you all the emails and it wouldn't let me!!!

Ahhh I'm so sorry. I still like Shade, but I feel bad. Next time I have free stuff on my hands I'll have to be speedier.

Hope you have a great weekend.

I like Free: You too? Check this out.

Shade Clothing is giving out free camisoles if you sign up for their email promotions. So if you'd like a free camisole (plus a $10 off coupon as well) leave your email here. I actually bought 2 shirts and a cardigan at Shade over the weekend. Of all the modest clothing retailers I think their clothing is some of the best quality. Their shirts are so comfortable and soft. Love them.

You want one now don't you? Leave a comment (and your email if i don't have it) and I'll send you the invite for the free camisole. Good times.

[In interest of full disclosure I must tell you that if I get more friends to sign up I get even bigger discounts. But hey, it seems like a win win. You get a free camisole I get more discounts.]

104 in 104: #63 Throw Joe a Killer 30th Birthday Party

I was not very motivated to blog about from Joe's party because I did not take many pictures. I was too busy trying to make sure things ran smoothly and the all our friends got greeted. (And have I mentioned lately how much I want a SLR and photography lessons. Maybe this Christmas.)

In the end everyone had fun and though I wished we'd had more budget to decorate a bit more everyone had a good time--especially Joe. (lately I'm very fond of color themed birthday parties that I've been seeing on the web---sticking to a single color for invites, decorations, food, and even asking your guests to wear that color---the next party I'm doing this for sure)

We ended up playing Rock Band, Dance Dance Revolution, and doing Karaoke (a suprising big hit!). We ate cake and other food people brought to snack on. And we visited and the boys played a bit of basketball and in the end I was sad to break up the party, but we had to clean up and get out of the church before it was too late. It was a lot of work, but so worth it. Joe felt really special and I was glad to make a big deal out of such a big birthday.
