Well its been a good weekend.
On Friday night Matt totally finished our closet! I am so excited, it's 10 times better than it was before & I think it will be extremely efficient for us! Hooray!
Saturday, I went to the spa with Allison and had a great time. Matt & the pup hung out here cause he wasnt feeling the greatest. 2 glasses of white wine later and SUPER springy pink nail polish I felt like a new woman. I had such a great time with Allison. It was so nice to get to spend some time together & find out how just alike our lives are! It's very nice that our husbands were fraternity borthers & I think it's even more awesome to be able to get along so well with his better half! And a super congrats to them for buying a new house! So exciting!
Saturday night we tooka quick drive to OKC for John Dill's 21st birthday. Took him to dinner @ Bricktown Brewery and had a drink. Then he & his roommate were off to the races. So Matt & I wandered down to Roosters where his cousin LV works. We had a good time and headed back pretty quick.
Sunday Matt woke up with a serious case of the yuckies! Super green snot, achey, fever, etc....and I am making him go to the Dr this morning, cause you never know & I'd really not like it to turn into a sinus infection or bronchitis or anything like that. So let's go just to err on the side of caution!
Hopefully he gets to feeling better soon!

IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER
Here is why I say it's all coming together:
1. Annie has been calm the last 10 days, she & I are sick of being cooped up in the kitchen and thankfully she can now run and jump like other dogs. Hooray for a successful recovery!
2. I landed a great job yesterday! So exciting. I will be working in the lab of a small spine & specialty hospital, which is super nice (I've never seen an admitting area with wood floors) and the hours are great! It will be a smaller, slightly different workload than what I'm used to and I cant wait to start! There will be 2 phlebotomists working under me and 1 other tech that overlaps with scheduling!
3. I sanded & painted the closet yesterday for Matt. I knew he would be relieved if it was all taken care of when he got home yesterday & he was so surprised. Hopefully tonight he can install the new closet/organizing system & we wont be living out of the kitchen sitting area anymore. No more hunting for clothes!! And the office renovation will finally come to a completion!
Now before all is said & done I still have tons on my to do list: pull out old scrubs, summer polo shirts for Matt, find some cute kitchen tiers and plan for our Vegas trip, Easter brunch and Matt's birthday! Lots to do!

FEELIN GOOD!
Well Annie was horrible at puppy class last night. Let's just say her surgery has had her cooped up too long and she was just so anxious to be out & about she could hardly even focus on her training. Amy, our trainer felt bad (for us too) cause she has so much energy she needs to release.
Matt & I attended spin class this morning. It felt good. Well other than the fact that it was at 545am and I had just gotten up to let Annie potty at 330am....yikes! Matt was pretty impressed with how well the ol' ball & chain kept up. Pretty good for not having worked out in I dont know how long & I havent done spin in like 10 yrs! He liked it, thought it was hard & is up for going again (I think....).
On to run a few errands today, picking up my new running shoes & looking for some Easter decs!
Hope everyone has a great Tuesday! I feel good & wanted to pass along the cheer. Going to church Sunday definitely got me & the week started off on the right foot. That combined with our exercise & some nice weather definitely has put me in a springy care-free mood!

MARCH ON!
We had a truly awesome weekend.
1. Friday night I discovered the taste of tilapia (I thought it was similar to red snapper)
2. Saturday I went to the grocery store & discovered a new trick for scanning items.
3. Saturday demolition on office closet began. I found "oops paint" for $5....basketweave beige (and it's perfect). Matt did awesome with that sledgehammer :)
4. Got the grill out this weekend!! YUM :) Grilled food always tastes so good to me
5. Annie played outside in the beautiful weather, she missed being outside
6. Sunday went to church, saw the Sheehan family, sat with Mr & Mrs during church and finally had some Hideaway with them all afterwards. The weather was gorgeous yesterday!
7. Yard work! Hauled 12 bags to the curb! But it has paid off & the fruits of our labor are bearing an awesome backyard.....front yard coming soon!!
I really had a great time with Matt this weekend. We got so much done. We work so great together, the reason I assigned the address as teamdill! It felt great to go to church. I'm looking forward to getting more done & all the exciting events we have coming up in the next couple of weeks! And to more beautiful weather!

POST-OP CABIN FEVER
I'm starting to go a little crazy. Annie got spayed 2 days ago. She is supposed to be inside (except to go potty & for 1 walk a day) and no running, jumping, etc... Which means we have to pick her up to put her on our couch, bed, etc....or she will try to jump. We dont want torn stitches!! Pick her up to take her outside (cause of the stairs on our back porch). The weather is super nice & our one walk just didnt seem long enough for either of us. Poor Annie just stares out the back door at the birds & squirrels running rampant in her yard. Boo! No fun for either of us. How am I supposed to keep her "calm" for 7-10days? That cant be a realistic request from the Dr! It may drive me crazy!
Matt & I have a company dinner thing tonight for Nordam because we donate to United Way :) Should be interesting. I haven't met too many people he works with and I am anxious to meet the characters (if you will). At least I dont have to fix dinner!! Hope I can find something to wear!
I'm definitely ready for Matt to get the grill out of the garage & put it to use this weekend! He is anxious to brush up on his grillin' skills! Mmm...I can just taste some delicious dinners now! I am definitely missing being outside & think an evening with grill, fire pit & drinks sounds very nice!
Not sure what this weekend holds for us, but maybe we can get some much needed yard work done. We have some tiny green things coming up in the flower beds & I am anxious to see what our garden holds!
Here's to Spring being just around the Corner!!

A "CITY" WEEKEND
First let's start with the fact that I loved having Matt @ home 3 days this past week. He was on his furlough days for work. We got some things done around the house & I loved having him around here instead of away at work. It was so fun, I wish he could stay at home everyday!
On Friday we went to OKC with Annie to surprise my Dad for his birthday weekend. He is a leap-year baby, so we celebrate as close to it as we can. We got tickets to the Thunder game, which was fun. Mom & Dad have great seats @ the games, so we moved to their row since nobody sat next to them. Saturday we took Annie to Lake Hefner for a walk. She wanted to say hi to everyone & their dawgs, for real. She is such a friendly puppy! She did very good over the weekend at my parents. We went to dinner @ Lottinville's in Edmond for Dad's birthday dinner, it was good :)
Sunday we attended Mass with the parents & then headed back to T-town before the weekend ended.
I'm not sure either of us were ready for the week to start. However, I am excited because we did finally join the gym yesterday....it's been on our to-do list for awhile. I cant wait to get started with some Zumba & Spin!!

TRAINING TREATS & TRICKS
So far miss Annie can: sit. lay down. and walk loosely on a leash (ok-we're working on this one) and stop on cue. she can also leave treats on the floor when you tell her to, even though they are right in front of her. we are also working on, ok-go say hello (where you give your dog permission to say hello to dogs & people.....a big need to accomplish for Annie). she is very good at load the clicker & watch me (both games involve treats). and actually all of her training & tasks are done with treats as incentive. it totally works though. and she was quite the show-off at class last night by sitting before the trainer even told her to. she is a real good dog! class always wears her out & she is asleep in the car after 1 minute! this week, i'm hoping we can take her to doggie daycare, not because she needs it, but would be good to have some friends to play with where its warm!
