What A Weekend....!

OMG, I have not been able to stop for 5 mins this whole weekend. It has been crazy. Since it was April Fool's on Friday the hubby decided that he would send me a text stating that his boss called him saying that the company he works for is waaaay over budget & need to make some cuts so he was getting laid off. At first my heart dropped but then I realized that it was all a joke because of it being April Fool's Day. Then while I was on my way to pick the hubby up from work he calls me again. He tells me that there has been a accident at work. When he opened to back doors to a tractor trailer the hand truck wasn't tied down properly & on the ride back from their job site it moved, so when he opens the doors it fell on his head. He had an open wound. I thought he was joking since just a 1/2 hr before he was trying to play a joke on me. I have a picture of it but it's gross. It looks worse in the picture than what it actually really is. That was our friday.

We woke up early finished going over the finally decisions of our wedding pictures to go meet with the wedding photographer. After that we went to help my SIL move, went to visit his cousin & my mom that live around the corner from us, and after all of that we went home to cook so we could eat & feed our puppy Hope who has gotten so big since we got her 2 months ago. 



Sorry for the poor quality picture my phone is acting retarded....lol



 

We went to breakfast with my friend/boss that invited us to because she wanted to talk to us. I told her that I really thought I was getting laid off for the summer.....lol. But thank God we got great news, she asked us if we can be her daughters god-parents and of course we said yes. After our lovely breakfast we went to help my aunt move into her new place we were there most of the day until around 6. We went home after that to unwind from our busy weekend & watched Army Wives along with Coming Home right after but I just couldn't anymore, I had to sleep. Now to start a busy day at work with no stopping either.

Our beautiful Goddaughter on St Patrick's Day.

 

What's Your Song? Wk #6

Here we are again. I can't believe it's already Thursday & we are already on week 6 of the Link Up that Amber over at Goodnight Moon started. I have so much hopping from blog to blog & listen to all the songs that everyone posts. It is so much fun.

My pic for this week is Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics.

I grew up listening to 80's & 90's music because of all my older cousins. So everytime I hear this song I always go back to the times that my aunt would babysit me & I would sneak into my older cousins rooms to listen to the radio or their tapes. I would always get caught but my cousins would just let me listen along with them. Oh how I miss those days. I hope you all enjoy my song & join in on the fun.  

What's Your Song? Wk #5

Well here we are again another week for What's Your Song Link Up. Go link up with Amber over at Goodnight Moon. This is so much fun. I didn't start from the first week, but I have been linking up ever since I found out of this. It is awesome to see the other songs that bloggers like & why they like it.

Well the song that I want to share with all is Hotel California by The Eagles

This is an awesome 1976 song. It is a great song to listen to when you just want to relax. But  don't you just love the guitar solo. I remember I first this song in Jerusalem when we were on the bus. We had some down time & the guys brought out their guitars & we were having a blast. When all of a sudden the preiest from my church Fr. Sean borrowed a guitar & played this song while he sang it too. We had a great time, this song always brings me back to my trip to Jerusalem back in 2000. Enjoy!!!

Wordless Wednesdays

I could really go for some Mimosas right now....yum!

As Of Now....

OK let me just say that I am sooooo HAPPY right now!!! This past weekend my hubby told me that the unit he is deploying with cut the list down from 30 something volunteers to only 5 volunteers. The reason I'm so extremely happy about this, is because he isn't on that list of 5. I am so glad it isn't happening because if Angel would've deployed in May he would've came back & 2 months after coming back from Afghan he would have no choice & deploy with his unit also. I would not have been a happy camper if this would've happened.

Since he is going to be here for our One Year Wedding Anniversary we can plan to go on vacation & right now it's looking like we are going to Las Vegas for 5 days, 4 nights.

Thanks for reading everyone & joining me in my happiness that I will have my hubby for a lil while longer.

What's Your Song? Wk #4

I really love this link up, so head on over to Goodnight Moon to join in on the fun .

My pick for this week is;

"If Tomorrow Never Comes"~Ronan Keating

My husband dedicated this song to me the night he left to boot last December & it really helped me through the time he was gone. I mean I cried everytime I heard it because it reminded me of him. Every chance I got I would hear it....lol....my mom was so tired of the song by the time my love graduated from Boot, but I loved it. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.
