One Year

It is hard to believe that yesterday was our one year anniversary.  This past year has flown by.

This past weekend was pretty low key.  We didn't have any big plans, which was fine with me.  Saturday morning, Pete got up early and dug a trench in the backyard to run some drainage.  He woke me up to introduce me to the turtle that Zora tried to eat.  It was a cute little thing that Zora dug out of the yard.  She just wanted a new friend.  After we freed the turtle from Zora's mouth, Pete set it free in the woods behind the house.  For an anniversary gift, Pete wanted me to clean the house.  Since I was going to do it anyways, it worked.  I slowly got to cleaning while Pete finished with the yard.  He took the dog on an errand.  I thought he was going to get grass seed and top soil, but he came home with neither.  He got a new monitor for the upstairs computer. I love it because it will make watching movies while working out much easier.  A gift that makes us both happy.

Saturday night, we went to church and then out to dinner at Maggiano's.  For old time sake, we took Zora rabbit hunting when we got home.  She enjoys it and since we are usually drunk when doing it, we enjoy it too. 

Sunday, I made breakfast in bed.  Cereal.  :-)  That is what Pete wanted, so Pete, Zora and I lounged in bed and had breakfast.  Zora had her own box of cereal.  She loved it.  After we went to see Evan Almighty.  Sunday mornings are the best time to go to the movies.  Everyone is still in church.  Saturday night masses let us have the best of both worlds.  We then grocery shopped and then just relaxed the rest of the day.  I made chicken marsala for dinner, since that was one of the dinners from our wedding reception.  I think it turned out pretty good, I thought. 

We went traditional for anniversary gifts.  The first year is paper, so I got Pete 2 books that he wanted and he bought me bookcases, which hold paper. 

Other than this weekend, things have been good.  Work is crazy, which is why haven't updated.  There is no time at work and by the time I get home, I want nothing to do with computers anymore.  I have tons of work to do, which is good, though I could use a few extra house a week.  They ordered me a laptop, which means I could hopefully do some work from home. 

I need to get back to work.  Lot to do before I can go home.

Crazyness!

So this week is a crazy crazy week. We have 70 out of town guest in at work. About 40 of them are out of country guests. I have the ever interesting job of sitting behind the podium and making sure nothing goes wrong with the PowerPoint presentations. Let me tell you, it is way fun. Most of the presentations are pretty interesting, but it is still tedious. I have mentally redecorated my house a couple of times in my head so far and it is only half way through Wednesday. It is really cool to put faces with names though.

To make this week even worse, I am sick. I have this nasty sore throat and a bad cough. I am trying not to cough during presentations though. It is really hard.

Also, Pete is out of town this week. With everything that went on last week, he had to go down to Austin for the week. This all means I have to get up super early to walk the dog and get ready and be at work at 7 every morning.

At least the excitement of seeing Jesse is holding on. She came down on Saturday for a long weekend. It was great to see her. We didn't do anything really exciting, but hang out. It was awesome. I wish that MA and NC were closer. I don't like going long periods of time without seeing people. Though Jesse had her video camera and now possess a video of me trying to gargle salt water. I am not very good at it.

I had to drive Pete and Jesse to the airport Monday night. It was sad. I went from a full house to just me and Zora. She was sad too. She likes when there are a lot of people in the house. Especially if they pet her.

I have to get back to work. I am writing this post on the computer that is used for all the presentations and all the COPs will be back soon.
