Hump Day!!!!!!!


Well, it's Wednesday. Which means I'm already worn out and ready for Friday. This past weekend was so stressful, hectic, ridiculous, etc. Moving has got to be the worst thing to go through. Nothing can ever go smoothly. We were scheduled to move on Saturday. Tim had scheduled to have our power turned on on Friday so that it would all be ready and cool for us on Saturday.

 So we get up at 8 on Saturday, load up everything at my house in Colleyville, go to storage, go to my mom's house and get the couch, THEN finally make it to Plano after all this hassle only to find that BAM! we have no power. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I was so pissed. It was hot, humid, dark, and annoying. Tim called the electric company and turns out when we made our appointment for Friday nobody seemed to realize it was Good Friday and no one would be working that day to come out and turn on our power. Awesome Ambit. Thanks. Thanks a lot.So once we accepted the fact that we would not have power until Monday we did the best we could with moving everything in during the daylight.

             Sunday was nuts too. I woke up late for church cuz the power at the old apartment was knocked out from the storms so I missed breakfast with my dad. Tim had already left for work but I had Grady's truck and not my keys so I had no way to lock the apartment but I had to leave and go to church so I risked it and left the door unlocked while I went to church. So i get to church: the power at church was out so we had the service outside by the lake which was actually really cool and pretty. THEN, after church Grady and I went home changed, got my key, and hauled ass back to Plano hoping that no one robbed Tim blind. Turns out everything was fine. Grady and I loaded up his truck and made another run to the new apartment. Oh AND we had his new puppy Kannon with us. Moving and puppy don't mix btw. But look how sweet this little boy is... I love him...

Kannon :-)
So after we unloaded Grady's truck and I got some clothes unpacked we had to once again haul ass to Arlington to meet my mom at my grandma and grandpa's house for Easter dinner. Let me just tell you... I'm over split holidays already. I was worn out. So we get to Arlington and have a nice early dinner then Tim was finally off work and said his parents invited us over for dinner also so I had to leave Arlington, have Grady drop me off at my car in Colleyville, then I finally made it back to Plano at 7 to go with Tim to dinner at his parents house. MY GOSH I WAS DEAD BY THIS POINT.
       So Monday rolls around, I was so excited. I was thinking we were finally gonna get power and be able to sleep in our beautiful new home. OH HELLLLL NO! The stupid thunderstorms over the weekend created a lot of power outages and we were told they didn't know when they would be able to make it out to turn on our power. I was so pissed. But when I got home from work there was power and I gotta tell you it was the greatest feeling. So the past couple of days we've been trying to unpack everything and make it look good. I'll post pictures once it is all finished. My mom is going to come over tonight and help decorate! I am slightly obsessed with the apartment. I love it. Anywho, back to work I go.
:-) Happy Hump Day!

-Weekend Recap-

Ok so let me just tell you what a exhausting mind blowing weekend I had.... Friday night was Lil Wayne concert. HE WAS SO FREAKING GOOD... lil wayne, nicki minaj, drake, and birdman all together was A-MAZING!!!! Not to mention all of the whisky I drank that night made for QUITE the evening...

Damn they are so badass!!!!
So, then we move into Saturday: KENNY CHESNEY BABY!!! Aunt Rhonda pulled through on this one! She had a limo take us to Cowboy Stadium for the big night! Grady and I were so thankful to be able to ride with them so we could avoid the po-po's. All I can say is that after this weekend I am so ready for summertime and all the concerts that are on the way! I love Texas summers!!! Kenny, Zach Brown Band, and Billy Currington were all amazing and it was a good night for me and my broseph to bond! He pretty much bankrupt me on beer that night! But, Grady was the drunk life of the party! He was cracking my shit UP!


Group outside the limo before we left!

 
GREAT GREAT NIGHT!!!



View from the restaurant at lunch
Well today I flew into Seattle for the week on business. I love the west coast. I would move here tomorrow if they let me. For lunch I went down to the fish market and had lunch at this place that overlooked the water. It was beautiful. The whole atmostphere was so cool. There were guys throwing fish back and forth, GORGEOUS tulips for sale, local vendors, and fresh produce. You just dont find places like that in Texas. Anyway, I have a busy week ahead of me that will lead to big big things! eeeeek! so excited!

I've got the fever... DOG fever!

Ok so I cannot stop obsessing over finding a dog. I AM THE CRAZY DOG LADY!!! I want one sooooo bad! Here is my dilemma. Tim has Jack, who I love! buttttttt Jack weighs 85 pounds and is a massive lab. So this means that I can't get that big of a dog without it just being way too overwhelming at our apartment.  I decided I didn't want to adopt a puppy since 1) I work all day and Tim made it clear this was MY responsibility and he won't help 2) I feel like no one ever adopts the adults and that breaks my heart. After work today I went to 2 different animal shelters. So here are my two favorite cuties that I need yalls help deciding between: 
This is Maryanne. She is so loveable and calm/sweet. This pic does not do her cuteness justice.
This is Reagan. She is SO CUTE. Her body type is awesome. But she was so shy and timid but also really sweet!























How am I ever going to decipher between these two babies?? Oh right, TIM!!! I gotta take him back on Sunday and get his opinion. These dogs are all I can think about. I need help. ha! 

Wellll ON AN EXCITED EXCITED EXCITED NOTE: TOMORROW is LIL WAYNE CONCERT!!! and SATURDAY is KENNNNYYYYY!!!! It's going to be a crazy weekend for sure!!!! Then on Monday I'm headed off to Seattle for work!!! eeeeeek! Ok well PLEASE help me decide which pup would be the best addition for me Tim and Jack... THANKSSSSSSSSSSS

sunburn from HELLLLLL

                 So my weekend was pretty great. Friday after work Jamie and I decided to go to Sundance Square in Ft. Worth to grab some dinner. It was nice to have a little change of scenery. After dinner we met up with THE Kevin Greene for some drinks at Baja. YUMMMM.... Good night overall reminiscing with old friends. 
                         Saturday morning Jamie, Mary, Ralph and I went for a long walk around Colleyville. It was pretty hot so I had worst judgement ever decided to wear a tank top for our walk. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE IDEA!!! I had been on antibiotics all week that had advised to me stay away from the sun.. little did I know the sun had it out for me that day. We were only gone an hour and you would have thought I had been out there all damn day. So, of course my sunburn didn't show up initially and I thought "hey lets go lay by the pool with mom". Another TERRIBLE IDEA. I sat out by the pool with my mom for probably an hour before i realized "holy shit jessica you are FRIED". Ugh needless to say.. i felt/looked  like this guy the rest of the night 
hot right? Yeah, so SCREW YOU SUNBURN, SCREW YOU ANTIBIOTICS!!

But on a brighter note: I had an awesome time last night with all of the Searfoss women for Brit Brat's 21st birthday!!!! Now it's on to some Sunday Funday with my daddy!
