Countdown to Hawaii...

Hey everyone!  So sorry for being absent from my blog the last few days - this has been one of those crazy busy weeks that I feel like I haven't sat down once and still have a to-do list that is 5 pages long!  I am leaving for Hawaii on Monday and will be gone for 3 weeks and it's amazing how many things I have to do before leaving town for that long!  But let me pick up where I left off.....

Wednesday was a super busy day!  I got up and showered and did laundry and then had to babysit at 11:30.  On Wednesday's I pick John up at Kindernook and then we go home and eat lunch and then we have to go to Kindermusik.  We get home a little before 2 when Meagan get's home.  After babysitting I ran home real quick and got changed and then had to go work at Bath and Body Works from 3 to 6.  Then, Wednesday night was one of my favorite nights of the week!  Approximately once a month we get together for what we like to call "sip n dip".  We "sip" wine and we eat "dip".  We try new recipes with each other and get caught up on what everyone is up to.  It is something I really look forward to!  Sometimes we get a little out of control - too much "sipping" and not enough "dipping" - bottom line though, we always have fun!  Our sip n dip group is some of my best friends and I love every minute of being with all of them.  Here is a picture of Wednesday nights sip n dip at Micheles house.

Me and Caroline last summer in MN

 Thursday I got up and took a shower and then went up to Westside because my cousin Caroline had asked me to come to her Sociology class.  Everyone had to ask someone who was/had been married to come to their class for a discussion on marriage.  It was definitely interesting and i was really glad I went.  It was fun to be back in the high school and to go to a class.  Some of the questions were really funny and some were highly debated.  Caroline got an automatic A because I came, so I am really glad that I went.  They thought it was so funny in class because I told them that I took sociology in high school and I did my marriage project with David! HA HA  Then I was a call in at work from 12 - 4 and they didnt end up needing me.  So I ran a few quick errands and then went to my mom's house and we scrapbooked for a couple hours!  That was really fun!  Thursday night then David got home and I was so glad to have him back in town.

Friday I got up and took a golf lesson at 9.  It was pretty cold at 9am so I took the lesson indoors.  I was actually glad to do that because it allowed me to hit a lot of balls and really work on my swing.  I am excited to get over to Hawaii and play some golf.  Then I babysat from 11:30 to 2.  After that I ran to Walgreens which was SUCH a hassel because they didn't want to refill my prescriptions since I just refilled them 2 weeks ago.  I explained I was leaving town for 3 weeks so I needed them refilled and I would just pay the full price.  Luckily the pharmacist was nice, and called the insurance company and got them to give me an over-ride since I was going to be out of town.  So what should have been a 2 minute trip to Walgreens, turned into 20 minutes, but at least it saved me about $40.  I'd say that was worth it.  Then I ran to the bank and went and picked up my mom for pedicures at the mall!  I love getting pedicures before going to Hawaii!  I got bright pink and pretty flowers on my toes!  yah!  Last night then me and David went out to OCC for seafood buffet and wine bar!  We love the food at seafood buffet and it was a really fun and relaxing night.  =)  I was so tired when I got home I crashed!
