Sunday Night with the McIntyres

We had a wonderful day today. It started with a wonderful morning of worship at New Covenant Fellowship followed by a great lunch. Tonight we had the McIntyre's over for dinner. I made buffalo chicken pizza and Pioneer Woman's chocolate sheet cake.

Josh and Jess loved the pizza, but nothing compares to the cake's amazingness (yes I know that is not a word but there is just not words to tell you how good this cake is). I love this sheet cake!

Pioneer Woman has a perfect recipe. I love recipes from scratch. You must try it. Be on the lookout for the recipe on my cooking blog this week! We had a great time of fellowship and Izzy was so excited to have friends to play with. She loves Josh and Jess!

It was a great night. I just love nights like tonight.

She is such a sweetheart!

Well it is bedtime for us! Night Y'all!

Say Cheese :-)

Happy Saturday Y'all!

Day 3...

It is day three of the stomach flu at our house. I am finally beginning to feel like myself again. I have only thrown up once today and the nausea is at bay so far tonight. I was also able to eat for the first time and kept it down tonight. I feel like it is finally leaving my system. It has been a miserable three days. As far as I am concerned this junk is banned from our house! Thank the Lord for pepto bismal and ginger ale! Hope everyone else is staying healthy! I am looking forward to a much needed weekend. Maybe I can get some sleep and be productive around the house this weekend!

sickness...

So you remember yesterday I said I was feeling bad, well last night it got worse. I was up and down all night it was miserable (that make 2 nights with hardly any sleep). I got up and got ready for work still feeling horrible. I was basically eating pepto bismal as breakfast. So I got to work and thought I can work through this, unfortunalty an hour into it I was sick again. Stomach sickness is the worst. I HATE feeling nauseous and throwing up!!! Please Lord be gracious to me whenever we decide to have kids and let morning sickness skip me. (Which if you were wondering NO this is not morning sickness, we are not pregnant) I am feeling a little better, but when I ate dinner I got sick again. I hate this. Ginger Ale, Coke, pepto are my new best friends. I am hoping and praying for a good night with little to no nausea and a better day tomorrow.

lazy day...

I had to work Sunday and Monday and the ER was BUSY. Let me be the first to tell you twelve hour shifts are LONG and can be very tiring especially when you are on your feet all day and seem like at times are running 90 to nothing. Yesterday it did not help that during the terribly busy Monday I had a headache throughout part of my shift. Then I got home and even though I was extremely tired I could not sleep well, which was miserable (don't you hate that). So needless to say today has been a very lazy day. I slept in while Bob wrote a paper before work. I have not felt well today. I am not sure if it is because I am still tired or what, who knows. Mostly Izzy and I have been hanging out on the couch watching the olympics, reading, and napping. I did get a chance to catch up with last night's Women Tell All Bachelor episode. (I am so thankful for HULU.com) Oh how I hope the rumors aren't true and that Jake chooses Tenley. I even think I would be ok if he pulled a Jason Mesnick and changed his mind afterwards. We will see next week.

my couch buddy... she is a great cuddler

Well I am back to work tomorrow, then tackling the NC DMV Licenses plate office Thursday.
As for tonight probably a little more reading and snuggling with Mr Wonderful when he gets home from work.

Study Study Study...

If my sweet husband is not at work then usually you will find him with a book in his hand. Poor thing it seems he is always studying. Tonight he is specifically working on a Hebrew power point. Oh the joys of school!

(please excuse our messy desk)

I am so proud of him, he is fabulous!

The Start of Something New...

Today I started my first official sewing project I am so excited! I am learning, it also is taking lots of patience but so far I love it! I also adore my new sewing machine it is so easy to use, the perfect birthday present!

My set up in the kitchen

(I am so ready for April when we move to our new apartment and I get my craft room/office)

Sewing away, and listening to Pandora radio, all in my PJ's makes for a fun night

Isn't he cute! I love him so much! Thanks for my new hobby!

Miss Izzy got a haircut, isn't she a cutie. I was not really happy with the job the groomer did they didn't trim her face really well and other things so I am looking for a new groomer. If you know of any in the Raleigh/Durham/Cary area let me know.

Longing....

I am longing for warmer days, the smell of coconut, sounds of waves crashing, and my toes in the sand!

All alongside my sweet husband
And topped off with gorgeous sunsets

Two tickets back to Jamaica please!

Fat Tuesday...

There are many things I miss about Mobile, Alabama one being Mardi Gras season. I was actually sad when I walked into Walmart and did not see a huge section of Mardi Gras supplies. I miss the parades, moonpies, beads(especially when you got free Krispy Kreme doughnuts for them), and king cake.**sigh** I miss it all.

Mardi Gras past:

I did not realize how much I would really miss Mardi Gras but I do. Happy Fat Tuesday (or should I say President's Day to all you UM folks! ), wish I was there to celebrate!!

Snowy Saturday Morning...

Remember this post from Friday, well this is what we woke up to Saturday morning as I headed out the door to work.

It has mostly melted away except for some shady areas but it sure did make everything pretty. Plus it was beautiful without the awful icy roads which was wonderful!

February 14th....

I must say this is one of my favorite days of the year but I am a little partial. February 14th is my birthday as well as Valentines day and this was our first on to share as husband and wife. Overall it was one of my favorite birthday's ever! My hubby bought me beautiful flowers and my favorite candy Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and sweet card for valentines day! For my birthday he bought me an fabulous sewing/embroidery machine, and a yummy cookie cake that we shared with friends at lunch after church. For dinner we went to Kanki, which is a sushi and Japanese restaurant, with Jess and Josh! Overall a PERFECT day!
