20 years in the making!!!

NEW kids finally arrived last night!!! I have waited 20 long years for this night and it was incredible!! The guys can still dance! They even break danced! it was sooo good! i felt like a little kid again! Today, my ears are ringing, my voice is horse and i can not keep my eyes open. But those are all the best things about concerts! They sang some new songs and all their old hits!! Nicole and i sang and danced and screamed and jumped through the whole thing. People would have thought we were drunk, but we were sober!! lol. I have not had so much fun in such a long time! =)
Another funny part about the show was the way ppl were dressed. Most ppl had their fat tummys hanging out. And a lot of ppl had old school stuff on. Im so happy i got tickets to the show. Natasha Beddingfield opened and even she was good!

i love acting like a kid again! Its crazy to me that this guy i liked when i was 5 still does the same thing to me @ 25!

hurricane

So Hurricane Kyle is coming this weekend on top of all this rain we're getting today. Its not too bad, but def put a damper on my weekend plans!! Looks like tomorrow i will b chilling inside all day!! =)

Sunday is FINALLY new kids! i am SOOOO friggin excited!

work has been crazy today. im so looking forward to my pjs!

Fall

Today is the first full day of fall. I'm so sad that summer is over. The older i get the fast life seems to be passing me by...

We were supposed to go apple picking this upcoming Saturday, but the 5 day says rain on friday and saturday... So looks like we wont be picking any apples (unless i go to shaws and pick a bag of apples! lol). =(

This past weekend i decorated the house for Halloween! i got a really cute scare crow! The one good thing about fall is its almost the holiday season.

I am so happy that in one long ass hour, the weekend starts!! Mentally, i need the weekend more than anything right now. Dans off this weekend. Nothing is really planed. Tonight we're gonna go out on a 'date' haha. Should be fun.

work

Sometime work agitates me. Mostly Coworkers. I hate that just because some CHOOSE to be a mother, i get the shit end of the stick with everything. Its just not fair. Then said co worker gets pissy about everything. Its like, u get away with so much, HOW can u be so negative?! Don't get me wrong. I do love my job and my co workers. Just sometimes its a bit too much for me. I think i need another vacation. =)

On a brighter note caitlins coming in 30 days!!! i can not wait!! I have a busy few weeks coming up.

9/11

i can not belive its been 7 years since the 9/11 attacks. I remember the day so vividly. It was literally my first week away from home. The sky was a perfect blue and it was crispy and fall like (sort of how it is right now). The previous night My roomies and I took the T into Boston and met Dan at his work (he was working south station at this time). We walked all around the city. It was a great night and really one of my first times going into the city on my own. That next morning i woke up to the sweltering heat that was dorm life. I knew it probably wasnt this warm outside so i turned on the TV to find out the weather. Every channel had the first tower on fire. I really didnt think anything of it and continued to get ready for my day. As im sitting there i saw the 2nd plane hit, live, all alone in my dorm. i was like OH fuck this isnt good. No sooner did that happen, but my mother called telling me not to leave campus. I called dan and he was on his way to school. Finally my roomies get back from class and i tell them. we all sat there transfixed on the tv. I had class @ 11 so i went to my stupid Spanish class. After class dan calls me to tell me hes coming to get me. I still had one more class so i went to that and dan came and took me home. I remember sitting on the couch that whole night, it was unlike anything that i had ever been thru. every single station had the rescue efforts on. I think we watched this all night. The next day i had class and dan drove me back up to the city. It was weird driving and seeing the Amber alerts saying that Logan was closed and flights were grounded. That day i was working @ Financial aid and i found out the Bin Ladens Nephew was studying @ my school and had been flown out of the country that day. I had to pull his Financial aid file. Talk about creepy.
So here it is, 7 years later, so much has changed in my life since that night out in Boston. That was the last day of normalcy in the country and nothing has been the same since.

This weekend was SUPPOSED to be all about a nice tropical storm, but my area only had some small things blown around and some rain...
So yea, Saturday we went to eric and nicoles. Nothing too exciting. Nic made dinner, i made cookies. Sunday i took on the small project of organizing the file cabinet which took all day and i was hot and sweating. But at least we are orginized... when did i become a 50 yr old house wife?!

Washington DC

So ive been trying to write this blog forever now!!
Dc was so much fun!
We left at 6am on saturday morning! We were soo tired but both really excited! we couldnt start the 8 hr drive w/o some dunkins. The ride wasn't too bad, but it was def LONG. we got stuck in some traffic in NJ which promptly added about an hour and a half to the drive. We were really happy to get to the hotel and the 35 dollars a day parking wasnt that bad! the hotel was AMAZING. the room was so sheik and the staff was unbelievably friendly!! Our first night there we walked all around. We saw the WWII memorial, Lincoln memorial and the white house. I had on my brand new sneakers which was a very very bad idea. my feet still have cuts on them over a week later! lol We stopped at CVS and got a ton of bandaids which really came in handy thru out the weekend!! After walking for a bit we went to the Capital City Brewery. It was great to sit and have a beer! we got back to the hotel and we passed out by 11! Sunday we got up nice and early and went to the Washington monument and then the Simithonian and the air and space museum. All were really fun. The space mues was cool cuz i love space! haha. Dan and i went on a motion simulator here. It was like a video game where dan was in control of the airplane and i had to shoot. Needless to say we sepnt this whole ride upside down! After this we went to the washington memorial and took the elevator to the top! I hate elevators and was VERY scared to go 500 feet in the air, but im really gad we did it. The veiws were AMAZING! Im very glad we did it! After we finished there, we were absolutely famished!! We stopped at this little hole in the wall called Luigis and got some great pizza and beer! Monday was our big anniversary! i still cant belive its been a whole yr already!! lol. So we got up early again and we were SO tired of walking everywhere in the 90* weather (with humidity too!!) that we took the metro everywhere!! We went up to arlington which was less then great, but dan had fun. Im glad we went and saw it, but it was just so hot and walking everywhere in arlington was just getting to me. When we were finally done with that we went to georgetown which everyone told me was AMAZING. Well we treked there and it was like a mini Newbury street. I was so disappointed =( So we had PLANNED on finding somewhere to eat while we were there, but everything was was over priced so we metro-ed back to the city and went to hard rock. It was fun and a nice place to just relax and ppl watch. Oh and that morning we went to the crime and punishment Mues and the police mem. The police mem made me kinda sad. it was surreal to see all those names of ppls loved ones who just left for work one morning and never came home. The c+p mues was so cool! we spent forever there! lol. but it was cool! we also got to c where Americas most wanted is taped!! lol Tuesday morning we checked out and headed home. We were making GREAT time when we realized we missed one of our exits! (we had been following the GPS but didnt want to go over the George washington bridge in NY so we had written directions to get off a an exit before it!!) So we get to the brige and we were a little nervous, and besides the fact it cost a small fortune to get over it, it was not as bad as ppl made it out to be.
So all in all the trip was awesome! I learned that the Delaware bridge is the SCARIEST bridge i have ever seen in my life, That if u use an american express gift card @ a gas station they put a hold on it and u are stuck in DC with no MONEY! and that driving 8 hrs really kinda sucks! lol.
but it was such a blast! we would go back again, prob in the spring to see the cherry blossoms.
