Ah, I love that song. And I really like Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis’ version. Have you seen Duets? I’m not sure why but I was obsessed with that movie in High School. I even have it on VHS. But I don’t have a VHS player :(

 We leave for the airport tomorrow morning at 3:30 am! Is Starbucks even open that early? I’m a little upset about being in the air during Starbucks’ Happy Hour (half price frappuccinos), although I’m sure we will be hitting plenty of other Happy Hours within the next seven days, with far better ingredients (read: vodka)

All of my clothes have been packed since Wednesday, and Chris has today off so he can start packing. When I get home I just have to pack our toiletries items. We are READY!

We’re trying to give Ari as much attention as we can before we leave. He will still end up hating us, I’m sure. We got him some ham bones last night at the store while stocking up on Mojo bars and fruit snacks. We are not ten, I promise. I figured these would be good snacks to keep on hand for excursions and during the flights.

I woke up this morning feeling a little under the weather, which blows! We are going to get some airborne tonight so I can kick this out the door before we board the plane. This sickness is so NOT invited!

Hi All!

Well, it hasn’t been easy to get back into the routine of work after such a nice break! Luckily, we will have another break soon. That’s right, we will be on the plane to Dallas in seven days! Yay! After our layover in Dallas we will be flying directly into San Juan, Puerto Rico. We’re ready!

So only one person at work noticed the ring on my finger. She of course just assumed I was engaged, but I set the record straight! No surprise to me that not one male noticed anything!

As for Chris, he said multiple females noticed. Not surprised, I guess it’s a girl thang. I’m sure they all went home and cried that he is now off the market for good! ;)

Well, I will leave you some pictures of Ari. Whenever Chris decides to “embrace” him, he always says. “Blog about this!!” He loves that little guy.

Well, we finally bit the bullet and registered last night. We decided to go to Target since it is the closest store (that fit the bill) to our house. Going down ONE more exit to BBB? Forget about it!

I let Chris take full charge of the scanner. And no, this isn't the first time I've given him control over something ;)
I work in Asset Management, which, just like it sounds, means I manage assets. This means doing physical inventories of our company's assets multiple times a year, with a scanner.
Before we left for Napa, I did physical inventories for three days straight. The thought of scanning something for "fun" sounded like a cruel joke. I even had a nightmare in Napa that my colleague needed me to scan everything again. UGH!

Okay, dramatic side note over.

So registering went pretty good! We don't have too much patience for things like that, so we finished pretty quickly. We decided to call it a night and figured we could edit our registry later if need be.

Of course, we couldn't leave Target without spending $50. Can you? What is it about this store!?

Also, I sent out the invites today. I picked them up at Costco and thought I would take a one-hour lunch (rather than my usual half-hour) and knock them out. Wrong. I was so wrong!

It was quite the task addressing all of those. I might have bribed a few friends at work and even created a mini assembly line to get these done as quickly as possible. Henry Ford was onto something...

I apologize in advance for the terrible penmanship, but I assure you it is still better than Chris' ;)
