So much exciting news here lately!!!
I'm going to have another niece! I'm so excited, now I can start spoiling like crazy.
She decided to have the baby shower after baby is born, that way she doesn't find out
the gender before she's born. And she wants it co-ed so we'll have a nice big bbq since she'll be a summer baby :)
So I'm really hoping Josh and I will make it there and might actually stay there for my birthday so we can have fun setting off our own fireworks.
Also, we plan on getting out of Texas by the time both our leases are up, so we can't wait! It's not a for sure thing about the location, but at least we'll be back on the west coast and closer to all of our family.
On a less positive note, this weather here right now is terrible. The roads have been complete ice for the last 2 days. So I missed the first day of work, as well as many other people. We've had rolling blackouts, but at least we were both at work when that happened. It made for a very boring day at work though. The power went out 4 times and it took about 15 to 20 minutes for it to come back on and then another 20 minutes or more just for the registers to come back up. I hate when that happens because then the stupid customers who go out in this for no reason get impatient and want a discount. Well you should have stayed home. Not our fault you decided to come here. If you were smart, you wouldn't be putting your life or others in danger and you would stay at home like a normal person where it's safe and warm. But anyway we closed at 3 the first day and 5 yesterday. I'll just be glad when the sun comes out and melts it away. Of course, it's supposed to snow anyway, but that's better than the ice. That's about it for my update. :)

We are SOOOOOO excited!!! Went to Ikea yesterday and bought new furniture and it's being delivered today. FINALLY our OWN brand new furniture! Got a love seat, chair and coffee table and 2 end tables for not even 400 bucks. I loveee that store and I think I want to move in so I can use all the different kitchens lol. I know it's just furniture but hey I'm a weirdo and enjoy even looking at washers and dryers. haha. Even Josh is just as excited as I am about it, and that's pretty surprising. It's not much furniture, but it's just the 2 of us and we hardly have people over because we're usually working but if anytime in the future we want another love seat or something we'll just head on over to Ikea again :)
So I've changed my playlist. GLEE. I'm a little obsessed with the show. Even though a lot of the songs I don't know, I've heard the originals and I love to hear the way they sing it. Not the type of show I thought I would be interested in but after the first time I was hooked. Josh got me GLEE karaoke for Christmas for the wii and I love it. He won't play it with me, what a bum, but that's okay. At least I have a game out of all the games we have that I can actually sit there and play for more than 5 minutes and not lose interest right away.
Well I should probably eat some lunch and clean up a bit so the house doesn't look a hot mess when they deliver the furniture. :) Goodbye!

Christmas

We had an amazing Christmas this year. Just something simple and I really enjoyed it. My day started around 7 am because Josh was too excited but I told him that he had to wait til I got all ready because I wanted to do something with my hair. So he had to wait almost 2 hours lol. It didn't take me that long to do my hair it just took me a while to get out of bed. :P
So after I was ready, I put the roast in the crock pot and we opened presents. I think Josh liked his and I know I loved mine. He did a good job!
After a while, I started getting everything else ready for dinner. Got started on the potatoes, and after that the deviled eggs. I took a little break while Josh went to Walgreens to get some pop and chips & dip so we could have something small to snack on til dinner was ready.
Julia came over and we started eating around 4, when the roast finally finished. It was soo yummy! I must say I did a pretty good job :) Well I guess as far as the roast goes, it was actually the crock pot that did a good job. lol
Julia got Josh an otterbox for his Iphone and my present will be coming soon because she had to get tickets to go see her family in California so my Iphone will be here in a couple weeks! Can't wait because I'm tired of my junky phone.
Well that pretty much sums up our Christmas! I had a blast!
Hope you all had a Happy Holiday!

About that time...

For another useless update. :)
Christmas is getting closer and closer! And Josh and I are both so excited!
We're going to have Julia over since we went over to her house for Thanksgiving.
I'm going to make roast, because it's easy lol... Just throw it in the crock pot. Along with that probably the usual sides: mashed potatoes & gravy, some veggies, dinner rolls, deviled eggs and I gotta have my cranberry sauce! Sadly, this is the first time that Julia has been over since we moved in. I mean she saw the house when we finally got everything moved in and got all settled, but she hasn't been over for dinner yet. That's what happens when everyone has completely different work schedules.
I had a dream last night that Josh didn't like any of the presents I bought, but oh well! lol. I'm sure he will and I didn't go overboard like last year. I just kept it simple :) But by the look of my presents, I think he went a little overboard on me. YAY! lol No I know that Christmas isn't about the presents, it's about being with the ones you love! :) I even told him that if he got me all pajamas I'd be more than happy. lol But I guess that wouldn't be much fun for him.

Hmm. let's see what else I can blab about. I decided to decorate the tree the same as last year because it matched the living room. It's annoying being so picky! lol. I need to invest in some new living room decor so that next year Josh can decorate the tree in the traditional colors. But since our living room is browns, blues and greens, the red and green would have looked awful. Picky, picky me.

It's finally starting to get cold here, I think. Really the winters in Texas are from January-February. That's usually when we see some snow. At least that's how it was last year. I would love for it to snow on Christmas, just because Josh really wants it to so I know he would be happy.

Well I don't know what else to blab about so I'm going to get off here. It's my day off so I'm being lazy but I feel like maybe organizing the closet. lol. I'm always cleaning something, even if it doesn't need cleaned! lol

I LOVE these things!!! lol
