Is it Friday YET?!?!

Well today is Thursday, and I'm sure this day is going to go by very slowly!! All I can think about right now is that tomorrow is Friday and I have to work all day, but I get rewarded at the end of the day to head straight to the airport after work to pick up Nicole and Bella Boo! After we grab a bite to eat and get settled in, we head back to the airport to pick up my Casey Wasey! I am simply bubbling with excitement!!! I have always wanted some of my military friends to come to West Texas and see where I grew up and what I'm all about. I have had the opportunity to go the Illinois a few times with Erin to see her roots and her home, and I loved that experience! I'm just really excited to see and hug them...its been a LONG time since August!! So now, the waiting game begins! It's almost here though :) The light at the end of the tunnel has appeared!

Yesterday I explained that Callie and I were going to Wall Street Bar & Grill for lunch, and we had a GREAT time!! Our waiter was super cute and actually hit on me :) It was pretty exciting, considering that doesn't ever happen to me. It totally put a smile on my face for the rest of my day, even though I'm sure he just wanted a good tip! Haha! We are going back next week, so we will see!!

As some of you know, Callie is getting married in May. I am SOOOO excited for her, and the date is coming up fast. I really wanted to lose a lot of weight before the wedding, but it just isn't happening! Its so hard for me, and losing weight is such a struggle. I am a food addict, and even though I work out some, I can't seem to find the strenght to give up my comfort foods. I am really hoping I can lose at least a little before the wedding. I have to lose at least ten pounds so I can fit into the dress! I ordered a size smalled so I have to lose some. I think I have lost a little, but not nearly the amount I want to. This is going to be a struggle for forever for me...unfortunately.

Nothing much going on at work today, and I don't have lunch plans. I really need to run a couple of errands, so hopefully I can get that done. Tonight, Callie and Landon will be joining Rylee and I on a trip to Sam's to get supplies for the party! We need about 100 hot dogs and buns, chips for 45 people (YEPPP 45ish!!!) as well as dip, fruit, and drinks. I am thinking it will probably be easier to just do lemonade, tea and water in big pitchers. My mom has this really pretty, tall glass drink server so I will definitely be using that. I also need some more plates, cups, and probably some silverware and napkins, just to be safe. I bought some really cute decorations at Kohl's, it was actually Valentine's decor but they had cupcakes all over, so they totally work! I also ordered a big package thing for first birthdays with a cupcake theme! It came with a pinata, balloons, plates, decor...all kinds of stuff!!!! We also ordered a princess jumper for all the big kids, and I'm sure Rylee will be right in there with them! Its going to be quite a big affair, but I am really hoping everyone has a great time! I love that girl, and I want her first birthday to be spectacular!

So, here we are waiting patiently for Friday....hoping everyone's Thursday goes quickly!
