Settle for a Slowdown..

WHEW-WEE! I sure could settle for a slowdown!! Things have been craaazy busy since the decision to “make the move”! So here I am, finally blogging again! Let’s see..I’m almost one week through my new job, and so far so good. The first day was insane but since, everything has started falling into place. Don’t get me wrong, I still have aLOT to learn, but with time and routine, I know I’ll get the hang of it.. lets just hope “corporates” ok with that!! :) Last week was tough, as it was my last at MR. So sad to say goodbye’s to such great friends I’ve made over the years, but hopefully it’ll all pay off in the long run! The past weekends have been busy as well. Last weekend, Matt and I were able to catch Brennan’s last official soccer game. Here’s some pics of the superstar! :)

Just one more sweet pic Mel got of the kids for Halloween/Thanksgiving..m7 The cutest kids EVER!!

This past Friday, after packing up my office, I headed over to Holly’s grandparents, to try and catch anytime I could get with Parker & Ainsley (oh, and Holly too!) before they headed back home early Saturday morning. I didn’t get there until after dark, so I only got a couple of hours to play with Parker, eat dinner, get him a bath and in his PJ’s before he headed to bed, Ainsley on the other hand didn’t care what time of the day or night I got there, because all she did was sleep! Seriously like 3 hours in my arms, sleep!! I didn’t care though, I’d hold and watch that sweet little angel sleep for 13 hours!! Here’s 2 not so flattering pics I snagged from Smalls of my visit..

Hurry back Johnston’s!! Saturday morning, Matt and I met the Green’s for breakfast at the diner..soo fun! We had a wonderful meal with even wonderfulER company!! :) HAVE to make it a Saturday morning tradition! After breakfast, Matt and I headed back home, and soon after got a visit from Buddy. Bud spent the afternoon with us, him and Matt went to the driving range, while I ran some errands, before we got ready for our big night. Colleen’s oh so lovely little sister Emily was getting married that night, and I couldn’t wait to witness her and Jeff’s union! Em moved into my “old” apartments about a year ago, actually just right across the drive, so it’s been so much fun keeping up with her and watching her get ready for her wedding! So around 6ish, Matt and I headed to the Summit Club for the festivities to begin!
