Happy Anniversary

Today is Dave and my wedding anniversary.  The romantics that we are spent it watching Kira's gymnastics practice, eating together as a family and then working on Kira's homework tag team style.  We stopped giving each other gifts on for our anniversary years ago because honestly, I'd rather spend time with him than give each other trinkets.

While it's an important day in our lives, the more important thing is spending time together as a family, being good parents and always being there for one another.  I married my best friend many years ago today and he's still the love of my life and my best friend to this day.

Kira insisted on taking my photo when we got home.  It's a bit blury and I looked like I got run over by a truck by the time we got home.

Happy Monday!

Beach Week!



One of our business divisions is celebrating Beach Week this week and this year, they opened up the celebration to the entire Company.  So, the "Fun Committees" of both our locations were charged with the task of coming up with fun events for each location to join in the celebration.  I head up the committee in Cinci and we have an absolutely incredible group of people who volunteer on it. They decorated the Department while I was on PTO on Friday and they texted me some pictures of what it looked like.  So, when I walked in this morning, I was totally shocked to see this.  I'm in the porthole on the left and that's the picture from my ID badge.  This is located right at the base of the escalator so everyone who rides down to our floor will see it.  Thanks guys.  Enjoy your giggle.

 This is the space next to our copier.  Super cool!

 Leis were hand delivered to everyone this morning.  Ta Da!

The leis were itchy, so I wound up wearing it as a bracelet all day.  It was that, or wear it as an anklet and noone needed to see that!



Ever Have a Day Where....

Nothing particularly bad has happened, but everything is upsetting you?  I'm having one of those days today.  Work is very stressful, we're leaving on vacation this weekend and getting ready for that is very stressful, Kira is having some issues at daycare with another little girl and that is stressful and honestly, all I want to do is kick back and read a book and have everyone just leave me alone.  I really think I need this vacation. 

Striped!

 I'm planning the outfits Kira and I are going to wear on vacation and I noticed I own an overwhelming amount of striped stuff.   I just can't help myself, I love stripes.  Especially navy blue ones!  I even ironed a striped dress to wear later this week, but I may save it until next week.

I received numerous compliments on this outfit today, so I think I'll have to bust it out again at some point!
