Zoo day

Today I had the privilege of taking my nephew to the zoo. Thankfully the bf came because 4 year olds have a ball of energy :)

We got there right when it opened and had the place to ourselves for a bit which was awesome except there were barely any animals awake or in their areas.

The zoo was fairly small so we saw everything in about two hours. It was nice to spend time with just the boys and spoil my nephew for a bit. 

Here's some pictures from the day...

Already chasing after him :)

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend

Thanks Lindsay!

Lindsay tagged me for an award and I feel loved <3

Who inspires you?

I would say both my sisters inspire me. They both have had a lot of hard times in their lives but they continue to live life to the fullest. My younger sister Serena is deaf and losing our mom at 13 was hell. She lost such a huge piece of her life, my mom signed and really made her world go round. My older sister Diana had to step up and pretty much play mom at 16. Diana is now the mother of 2 and those two kids have brought so much joy to our family.

What is your favorite season and why?

Summer for sure!! I do not like being cold!!

What are you most looking forward to this year?

Starting my new job in two weeks!

If you could write a book about anything, what would it be about?

hmm tough one... maybe a children's book on how to deal with loss

What is your greatest passion?

I love dogs, I hope to one day have the opportunity to rescue/foster.

If you could change one thing about your life or yourself, what would it be and why?

I wish I was more outgoing, more spontaneous, less insecure

Lastly, what is your favorite novel?

I enjoyed a few lately...

Bunny Tales, Something Blue, Something Borrowed

Tonight I am having dinner with a fellow Kristen and I am looking forward to it very much!

3 days

Until my last day!

I just got the call that the job is officially mine. Finally I can relax!! I am so excited!!

If you haven't yet, enter my giveaway!!

This weekend was pretty good... we went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory on Friday night. We had pretty lousy service but the manager said she was going to send us a gift card because she felt pretty bad for us. Of course we ended the evening with cheesecake...

Saturday was low key, we went and saw the movie 'No Strings Attached'. It was pretty good... I could have waited to see it on dvd...

Yesterday we watched the Superbowl at a friends house, it was also low key so I felt weird snapping pix...

Monday night = the Bachelor :)

CSN Giveaway!

Happy Friday! The nice people at CSN Stores contacted me about hosting a giveaway for their online shop.  CSN offers over 200+ shops to shop at, all at one convenient online destination. There are so many items that you are sure to find something!

5 1/2

Still counting down... I am so mentally checked out its not even funny.

I started throwing things away that were on the walls in my cube, I decided to take a picture too :)

When I start dispatching, I wont have my own cube/desk anymore, its just a desk you use while you are there, then you leave and the next shift takes over.

I am looking forward to tomorrow, we are going to the Cheesecake Factory with another couple. I am also looking forward to Sunday to watch the Superbowl and eat good food.

My last day at work is next Thursday, then I will have 11 days off before starting the new job. My sister and the kids will be down for a few days, but I also would like to get out of town for a few as well... I am thinking of heading here...

Looks like it will be warming up this weekend.... 80?? yes please!!

Itsy Bitsy Spider....

Isn't so itsy!!

This guy is creeping me out!!

He is hanging out above our carport. He's huge!!

But I didn't let the boyfriend kill him either because I thought that was sad too.  I just pray he stays put and stays away from my car.

Still 2 more hours of work.... blah!!

Here is something you don't know... I love to eat ice. I literally could snack on it all day. I like little pieces of ice and I just ran out so now I'm bored.
