Dreaming of Paradise

This week has been just wild. Do you ever have those weeks where you feel like you can't catch your breath and your "to do" list keeps get longer and longer? Well that is the kind of week we have had. Both Pat and I have been running like mad to get all of our work done so we can go away on vacation and not think about our jobs.....Hard to do when you are both in sales, but we are bound and determined.

I have been slacking on the blog this week and don't have much in the drafts folder. Running short on time, so I figured I would just jot down some of the random things.

So here goes......

~~~Things have been so nuts around here that I have not picked up my camera in 4 days....can you believe it? So unlike me. The photos in this post were taken on Sunday. I spent the afternoon checking out some new areas for pictures and Alicia happily agreed to be my model. She is so pretty and such a joy to work with:)

~~~We just got Nick signed up for spring soccer and the season is due to start in the next couple of weeks. Nick also decided he is going to try out for the travel team for the fall 2009 season. I hope it goes better this year, than it did last year.

~~~Sarah is so off with the time change. She has been up late every night this week and as a result, she has been a bear to wake up in the morning. In addition, she has been crying when we take her to the sitter. She always went with no problem and this week it has been crying and screaming.....I want my Mommy, I want my Daddy. Making me a little nervous to leave her next week.

~~~I am blonde again. With the change of season....I was feeling like a new do:)

~~~I interviewed the final candidates for the Sales Support/Assistant job and narrowed it down to two people. After another round of interviews, I decided on one of them. I offered her the job yesterday and she is going to start a week after my return.....HOORAY!!

~~~My skin color right now is about as white as Casper the friendly ghost.....this trip will require something stronger than my favorite Bain De Soleil Number 4. Do you see sunburn in my future?

~~~I never lost the 5 pounds I wanted to lose before the trip so I will be packing coverups in every color


~~~Today marks 34 months that we have been logged in for our China Adoption. Who would have thought we would still be waiting.....and I am guessing we have another year to go. Thought this picture was appropriate.....doesn't she look like she is waiting?

~~~Last but not least.....Pat and I are counting the hours until we are on Paradise Island with our feet in the sand and a drink in hand.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend.....I hope to post one more time bfore we take off Sunday night, but if not, next post will be from the Bahamas.
