  I love Christmas!!! we decorated te tree and now I am really getting in the spirit! 

This one goes out to David......Finally.....This going to have to be quick, I have so much to do today, I feel like I have never been so busy in my entire life. In a way its nice to keep busy, on the other hand, I constantly have fifty different thoughts running through my head at any given moment. Its pretty stressful and I cant help but think it is contributing to rapid speed at which my hair is turning gray. Which is why I am on my way to the get my highlights this morning. I am actually dreading sitting in the salon for 2 hours when I have a zillion other things to do. On a good note, I got a promotion this week. I am pretty excited about that. I was at the point where I was thinking about leaving the company I work for, feeling really bored lately. This promotion should help break up the monotony for at least another year. Jay and I have been talking about our future a lot lately. We have started working on our five year plan. Things are pretty much up in the air at this point but the big decision we have been trying to make is whether or not we should move back to NY. We feel like we have or at least will in 5 years, have accomplished everything that we wanted to in Arizona. Without buying and selling a house here, we never would have been able to in NY. Our careers here have accelerated at a rate I don't think would have been possible back there. So it is definitely a possibility we are mulling over but nothing definite I guess. We are happy where we are at this point in our lives and I guess we will just have to wait and see. Its finally starting to cool off a little here, which is nice but makes me feel like my time in the pool is running out so I am going to make an effort to use it as much as possible over the next month. Too bad you don't only have to pay for it when its warm enough to use it, that would be nice. I am finally going to get a personal trainer tomorrow. I have like two months until the wedding and I have done nothing, like ABSOLUTELY nothing to prepare as far as weight loss and exercise go. I figured that if I get a personal trainer, maybe Ill humiliate myself into working out. My diet is another story.. I had IHOP for dinner last night, that's all I have to say about that. Anyway I am off to run my five hundred errands....Until next time.......

The pool is finally done, yay, we are obsessed with it now, thats all we do. Yesterday and Friday we moved 16 tons of rock into the backyard. Ive never worked so hard in my life. Im so happy its done. We actually ran out of rock and will have to get a few more tons but its so much better than the dirt we had back there before. Jay is putting together out chaise lounges and our fire pit as we speak. So soon we will have our own little Paradise Hotel. Im going to buy my shoes for the wedding today. I cant believe how fast it is approaching. Time has really gotten away from me. I have been so preoccupied with the all of the pool construction, I feel like we are really coming down to the wire. I have my work cutout for me. The RSVP's are rolling in now, at least thats a good sign. We got our Cardinals season tickets yesterday. Jay is so excited. There go our Sundays. I probably wont go to all of the games. Ill let the boys go and have a good time. I am excited about seeing the new stadium though. We had season tickets when they played at SunDevil Stadium and that was terrible. Those bleachers were painful to sit on and even though we had awesome seats we were right in the sun. These seats are 34 rows up from the field and brand new. So these games should be much more fun. The first pre-season game starts Saturday. I cant believe football season is starting already. Jay's Birthday is next week. Its his 30th, GASP! I cant believe we are so old. It really snuck up on me. I got him this awesome fire pit which he is putting together now. (i cant keep any secrets, I give him all of his gifts right after I get them) We are going to have a little barbecue next weekend to celebrate. Of course he doesnt want to make a big deal about it. Well I guess thats about it for this week. Im off to go clean and shop and lounge by the pool some more.

Wow, I decided to start writing on my blog again (credit DPC)Ive only posted once before, and when I logged in I realized that almost exactly a year ago the last time I wrote something, freaky. Our pool is almost done, its so close that its like torture waiting for them to finish. They were supposed to show up today and do our pebbletec, but no one came, Im really aggravated at this point. I just want it done, not even because I want to swim in that bad but because the dogs run around it and Im so scared one of them is going to fall in and kill themselves. I was at the gas station today and this family walked up to me and asked me to buy them gas. The woman had two young girls with her and said they were stranded. I had to do it. Its 105 degrees out, how could I leave them there, but in the back of my mind I feel like a sucker. I feel like a good person anyway though. The last of our wedding invitations went out today. I am so glad thats done. I am so over the whole wedding planning experience. I dont know how people become "bridezilla's" I'm so bored with it. I really wish I could afford a wedding planner because Im definitly losing momentum. I skipped the gym again today. I have serious issues, my wedding is three months away and thats not enough to motivate me? I went on saturday and I was all gung-ho, than I walk up on Sunday and couldn't straighten my arms. It was a very upsetting experience, but I still went on Monday. The weirdest thing is ALL day today I had every intention of going, this morning packing my gym bag, at work, on the walk to my car, as soon as I sat down in my car, it was over. I bolted home like I was running from something, and than I come home and felt guilty about not going. At least Ill have my walk with the dogs tonight to take away some of the guilt. But still not what I was planning. Well I guess I should go cook dinner now, we're having fajitas. So you think you can dance is on tonight, currently my favorite show, and than the Hills come on, its a good TV night.
