Lots of Stuff

Well its 6am, and I am really wanting to get back in my bed...and snuggle with my dog. Its also really cold outside. I am up so early (I usually don't get up till 7 considering I work 5 minutes from home) because we have the big boss, the regional manager, Jim, coming to work today. So I want to give a good impression and not look like I just rolled out of bed. Another woman left yesterday, well she quit. The work was too much, and too overwhelming. She was like 50 years old. I am 24, and its overwhelming for me! But I do love my job. I love working hard, and staying really busy, and I love the pay!

Tommy and I have been really busy ourselves. He is getting closer and closer to graduation. He only has 13 more days of work, before he is an official BRPD officer! He looked so hot this morning leaving for work. He is now having to wear his bullet proof vest under his uniform. Not only am I glad that he is now going to be safe wearing that thing, but it looks so darn sexy. Okay, I am done with that. Back to the busy lives we have. Friday I had Shaun's wake. I can't even express with words how my heart grieves for Samantha. She is so strong. Saturday was Cooking for Our Kids. Tommy and Dad's jambalaya was GREAT! It didn't win, but in my book it was the absolute best! Afterwards we slept and were lazy, and then did some much needed things around the house. Sunday was church, shopping with Ashlie, and house shopping! I got stuff for our bathrooms, and other little nick nacks. Tomorrow we will be painting the guestroom. I doubt very seriously that they will like the lime green walls and the glow in the dark stars. I just know I can't stand it any longer. Hopefully Saturday I will be working in the flower bed and fixing up the outside. Terry will be coming over Satruday to put up spotlights in our back yard, cause we don't have any lighting back there. After work today I am going to get new blinds for our bedroom. We are so busy right now trying to get our house fixed up because a week from tomorrow, our friends from N.C. are coming to stay with us for a week. I am so excited to see Erin and the boys, and Tommy is excited about Matt coming here too. Matt and Erin's oldest boy Alek is my little sweetheart! He loves his Lele and still remembers me! He is 3 years old. Brayden, the youngest is a little over 1 year old. When Tommy came back from his last deployment, before he was able to move back home, he had to rush Erin to the hospital to deliver Brayden because her husband was still in Iraq. In fact, Matt was in Iraq for both of his son's births. I have never met Brayden, but I am sure looking forward to it. So we will need to set up our guest room for them to stay in. Brittney is loaning us her portable crib for Brayden. I am interested in how Zoey handles them....haha.

This week is just work, work, and house work! Thursday I am getting my hair cut. I am THINKING about a few highlights. I am not sure yet. Friday is Ashlie Blaire's b-day, and a crawfish boil with the academy! I am so mad that I have to work Good Friday. Saturday is a Premier training meeting at La Madelines. I am so excited to have my new jeweler going! I will be giving her training show the night after Matt and Erin fly back to N.C. Oh what a busy day that will be. I will have to wake up at like 4am to bring them to the N.O. airport for 6, work all day from 8-5, and then drive straight from work to Baker to do Lenee's show from 7-9. I get paid $200 for doing it, so I can't complain! This Sunday is Easter. I am hoping we get to have the community Easter service at the middle school stadium if the weather is pretty. Its been years since we have been able to have it there.

Hope everyone has a good week, and a Happy Easter!

Here are a few pictures of Matt's homecoming. He just came back from his deployment about a week ago.
