HELLO!

Whew!
We're all back from our "world" travels...DH, DD & I went to Disney World and took the Disney cruise. We had a VERY nice time!

DS is back from Alaska - he took a week long cruise and week long land tour. He LOVED it - is maybe thinking he'd like to live there....I say go back in winter and see if you still feel that way!

The concert was AMAZING last week! We sat & cooked in the sun for about 4 hours while we were there before the sun went down but it was GREAT! (Yes - I can admit I'm a dork!)

Watch for more pictures...

Hope you're having a great summer!

Countdown's on....

4 more days until the Kenny Chesney concert! Woo hoo! Oh how I love that man!

Happy Father's Day!

To all the dads, grandpas, uncles, brothers, cousins, etc...may you have a FANTASTIC, relaxing day!

HUGS!!!!!

Summer reading

I signed up for our summer reading program at the library. The challenge is to read 5 books before July 31 and one has to be a "game themed" book.


So, my blogging friends - I challenge you to read 5 books before July 31. :)

Back from "enemy territory"

That's right....St. Louis! Those blasted Cardinals...

Just kidding! DH & I went this past weekend for my work's conference. We had a nice time. The speaker was a bit long and not that exciting, BUT what are you going to do!?

Anyway, our choice of activity for Friday evening was to have dinner at Busch Stadium's Champions Club. It was very nice! It was really neat to be there by ourselves and watch them set up for the Dave Matthews concert. Then we went to the City Museum for a couple of hours - that place is REALLY cool!!!!!! Lots of climbing, hands on - VERY kid friendly place!

Saturday, we walked to the Arch and took the ride to the top. The view is so neat from up there and that structure is just amazing! Then we walked to Union Station for lunch and some shoppping. After that, we went back to our room and took naps until we had to get ready for the theater. Our entire group went to see Mama Mia - cute show but I don't think I'd go see it again. They fed us dinner AT the theater before the show and it was yummy!

Sunday we left the hotel early and decided to go to Meramec Caverns. The neon sign should have been out tip-off that this was going to be SUPER TOURISTY!!!!!!!!!! (I would also like to add the mirrored ball hanging from the ceiling of the "ballroom" did nothing to deter that feeling) But we enjoy caves and over all - we saw some really cool formations and the thought of how they got there is amazing! The tour itself - QUITE disappointing!!!!! Oh well!

But we had a nice time overall, despite the heat, rain and St. Louis humidity. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Annnnd...that's a wrap!

Today is my "little man's" last day of freshman year. He has his last final today then he will officially no longer be a freshman. Next up.....DRIVER'S ED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {insert "Psycho" music, me covering my face and screaming here}

I LOVE my job!

Really! I do!

I feel very fortunate that I love what I do and who I do it with (for the most part...)! Our company has an amazing philosophy of "teams" (aka: office staffs) doing things together.

Today our team had an outing - we played paintball! It was the 1st time any of us had ever gone and we all had SUCH a GREAT time! Minimal injuries (mostly bumps and bruises), many laughs and a great way to build trust and leadership. It stormed on the way there, so the fields were wet but none of us seemed to mind getting wet and muddy - and we were! But by the time we played the last game, the sun was trying to come out.

I just wanted to share the fun.... Off to put ice on my welts and bruises! :)
