A milestone, a baby shower and a vacation...

Okay - so the milestone was kind of exciting, but will probably not be that exciting to my audience. I did a project entirely by myself...I was the only one there. Additionally, without saying too much, it was kind of a hard one!! And - I sort of kicked butt at it!! YAY!! That's enough - the last thing I'm going to do on this blog is talk about work and people at work...I know how the world works!!

In more exciting news - one of my very favorite-est people in the world is going to have a baby any day now (actually, she's due over a month from now....but she's gonna pop soon!). Her baby shower was last weekend and it was GREAT!! Here are some pictures....
Along with my gift - I gave Katie the post card from Virginia. She gets a postcard from every place I visit. She's kind of special!!


A very pregnant Katie showing us all how to do yoga!!


Okay - this was hilarious!! So - Tonja (Katie's sister-in-law) - got Katie this HUGE bag. It was a great gift, it was just a little funny when the box it came in was small, the packaging was small and it just kept GROWING!!

This is Tonja inside the bag. I'm SO glad she did that - it took me an hour to talk her into it. What a sport!!

On top of that - the day after the baby shower, I went on vacation. Yes, our family went on our very first family vacation. WELL - this wasn't the very first, but it's probably the first that everyone else will recognize. When I was like 7 or 8, our family went to Disney Orlando. I managed to make that trip HELL for everyone....no kidding. It was bad. I'll never live that down. All I wanted to do was ride the people-mover and swim in the pool. If I didn't "get" to do those things, I would just pitch a fit and cry the entire time. It was awful. My mother swore that we would never take another family vacation, and we didn't while she was around.


SO - my stepmother planned a family vacation in Virginia Beach this year. Interesting, but fun! I don't think I managed to ruin this trip for anyone.....

We had TONS of fun - both Brody (Charlie's 4 year old son) and Emily (Mitch's 7 month old daughter) were there, along with Charlie's girlfriend's boys (Jake, 10 and Levi, 14). Jake turned 10 while we were there, and I think he had a pretty good birthday!! We had so much fun playing in the ocean, the pool, go-karting, and playing Mario Kart constantly!! Here are some pictures....


This video cracks me up every time.... Actually - they both do. Both above and below. Brody is SO funny without meaning to be. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we laugh at him a lot!

I would have crapped my pants. Levi and Jake are SO brave!!!
