Birthday Fun!

Thank you to everyone for all the Birthday wishes!! I had a very good birthday this year without the breakdown like last year! :)

It was a full weeks worth of celebrations! I had gifts/shopping in South Carolina, some fun at work, a fantastic meal from my hubby, and a great night out with friends.

Too bad birthdays are only once a year! Ha!!

Easter 2008

So Easter '08 was a full weekend. Despite all the sickness, and the driving, we had a really good time. AND we got to hang out with the coolest 10 month old in the US!

This stomach virus that's been going around seemed to have little sympathy for our mini vacation. Lacey had Thursday, Greg got it on Friday. Saturday seemed to go well but then on Sunday morning, Dad didn't make it through church before he had it. Poor guy, they were suppose to leave to head back to TN but that wasn't even an option till Monday morning. By Tuesday, Jonathan's Dad, Chris had it.

At that point, we decided to make a run for it! But, like I said, the sickness didn't stop us from having a good time.

Hunter got to play in the pool, have his picture made with the Easter Bunny, and spend the day with his favorite Aunt! He also got this really cool duck that sings the Chicken Dance... no thanks to his Mimi. : )

This trip was also Maggie's first trip to the beach! She actually did really well considering she's not much a fan of the water. The wind was obviously blowing so we thought kite flying might be fun but we weren't very good at it.

Hunter LOVES Maggie and since he can crawl at the speed of light, he was right on her heels all weekend! They would play together and he would just cackle! It was so cute but this is by far my FAVORITE picture!

Monday, we spent the day in Georgetown antique shopping. I wish I had pictures of this day 'cause it was definitely a highlight. A very cute little town on the water... but don't get hungry mid-afternoon 'cause nothing is open till 5pm.

All in all, it was a good trip. We got to spend time with the fam and relax so we can't complain.

Good Friday to you!!!!

Whooo hoooo!!! The weekend is just a few short hours away! And its a long weekend for us!
We are ready to head to the beach for weekend to see everyone! Maggie has her bags packed and though she is super excited about Mimi, Papa O, Lacey, and Maw & Paw Parris; she isn't as trilled about Hunter or Tiger being there.

Not sure if I'll be able to make any posts while we are gone but I will definitely have some pics on my nephew to post when I get back.

Before we leave, I wanted to leave you one additional story about my morning thus far:

So I come into work this morning early. I get to Hampton and everyone is in a tizzy. Most of them look like they have been up all night so I’m thinking “was there some party or something I wasn’t invited to?” Amber looks at me and says “Walt can tell you” and walks away.

Evidently, Walt got a call at 2am that the lady in 101 said there was water falling from the light fixture in her room and woke her up. When they went upstairs and knocked on the door of room 201 there was no answer. Worried, the new night auditor opened the door and immediately heard the bath tub running.

Jeremy ran into the bath room and found a man in the tub. He tried to wake him but he didn’t respond. Panicked, he called 911.

At this point, the Female police officers, EMS, our Chief Engineer and his assistant, the night auditor and the security guard are all in the room standing in water with the naked Jap on the couch.

This guy took a late night flight from Japan, had a number of beers on the plane and decided to take bath once he got to the hotel. HE PASSED OUT IN THE TUB WITH THE WATER RUNNING. There were 2 inches of water standing in his room (a suite I might add).

They guy is fine but is having to pay over $1500 in room damages/repairs. Happy Friday!!!!
