A few weeks ago Dom called me and told me that the Arizona Cardinals were going to be playing the Green Bay Packers at UoP Stadium. Dom and his dad have been life long Packers fans and I told Dom 2 years ago that if the Packers ever came to AZ...I would take him to the game. We couldn't go to a Packers game without his dad, and so I started looking at tickets. I told Dom that they would only be like $30 each...and there were tickets for that price...but I found some great tickets on the 50 yard line...Packers side....25th row....and they won't too horribly priced...so I got them and Dom was really excited. He decided that we wouldn't tell his dad and his dad was SOOO surprised when we walked down to our seats. It was pretty funny to see his face. The game was incredible and the Packers won. When we got home I decided that I would go online and try and find Packers jersey's for our puppies...and I was very happy to find them and to see that I could even get their names on the back! People may laugh...but my reasoning is that we don't have kids to dress up in jersey's...so we will dress our dogs in jersey's cause they are my babies until a medical miracle happens.
Dom's family decided to take off on a family vacation...and not invite us...so I decided that I would make a wonderful dinner for my husband because I love him and I appreciate all that he does for me and our puppies. I spent most of the day in the kitchen. I made him steak, twice baked potatoes, shrimp, asparagus, rolls and peanut butter balls. He knew something was going on because he called to tell me that he would be done with work at 3 and I told him he wasn't allowed home till 6 and he would need to find something to fill the time. He ended up working late anyways because someone needed help and Dom is the guy that everyone turns to. When he finally did get home, he came home with a present! I figured that he would come home with flowers since he knew what was going on and when I called I could tell he was at a store, but he completely surprised me and came home with emerald earrings! It is the first time that he has been able to surprise me with jewelry and I love them! I'm a big fan of natural emeralds and they are not that easy to find, but there is this one little mom and pop jewelry store that always has them. So that was Friday night, Saturday we went and saw All About Steve, which was hilarious, and then we had to go and buy a new computer cause my old one died...and now I've been given the other old computer and Dom has taken over what is supposed to be MY new computer...the same thing happened when we bought me a new car...when do I get to actually use the cool new toys we buy for me?!? After we came home we just chilled while waiting for Marina and Desi to get here. And of course as soon as they got here, Desi just HAD to go swimming and she didn't want to get out of the pool. The next day we went to a local waterpark and it was so much fun! I used to go to this park all the time when I was a kid...and let me tell you that Desi had a blast making us go down the water slides with her, that little girl is fearless! We didn't do much on Labor Day but cook some bbq and go swimming...all in all it was a nice relaxing weekend.
Nothing has really changed with work. I'm working from home and loving it. Dom is back full time, even though his work is kinda slow right now and since he has available vacation and sick time they keep having him stay home one day a week. He's getting pretty frustrated with it but once he is out of available time, it won't happen anymore. My work is super backed up and so they are currently offering overtime, which I am going to take advantage of! I mean, I don't have to leave the house to go to work on Sat...so I might as well work since I'm just gonna be hanging around the house anyways. Plus we are going to Disneyland with Marina and Desi the first weekend in October...and I need some spending money...so I figure I can use the OT pay to buy our tickets and any food and anything else I want while there. The next couple of weeks are going to be busy because of OT, but it will all be worth it. Plus I have two papers to write this weekend so that I can finish the class I'm currently in.
We are definatly looking forward to the cooling of the weather and the beautiful fall that is in store for us. Hopefully I will get better about updating this...but ya never know!
