Early Birthday Dinner

Tonight, I got to celebrate my birthday a few days early! Randy and I went to dinner with Emily and Matt, two of my old managers from Aeropostale. Even though I don't have a ton of fond memories from working at the mall for 5 years, I have some very close friends. Of course, that's also how I met Randy. Emily, over the past 4 years, has become like a second mother to me. Even though she's only a few years older, she has much more life experience and can provide me with so much sound advice.





















Thank you Mama E for everything. Matt is also one of my close friends. He has also been a sounding board for my many days of insanity while working two jobs, planning a wedding and working on my masters degree. They are so much fun to hang out with and I'm so glad we were able to celebrate my birthday!!! I love you both so much!!!

We had dinner at Carrabas. It was very yummy...I recommend it!! : )

Randy's Work Party

So, Saturday night, we went to Randy's bosses house for a little gathering of the bankers...and of course to play air hockey, pool, fuse ball, darts, wii and all the other games that the Partes have. Plus it gave us the great opportunity to hang out with the future Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell, Brandon and Kara. While the four of us were in the basement, we discovered a pole. This was apparently purchased for Pat's daughter to use at a Halloween party. Regardless, Brandon and Randy decided to try to set it up! You can see that Randy decided to spin around the pole and ended up falling!! It was pretty funny!!!

























This is Kara's GORGEOUS ring!!!! Brandon and Kara got engaged on Friday night (1/27/07) and are planning on getting married on December 8!!! We are TOTALLY there!! Congratulations guys...we are truly happy for you!!! P.S....come live near us!!!!!!

Family

This past Friday, Randy and I took my grandparents and parents dinner. This was a special time for us. My grandmother has a very advanced cancer and we are unsure of how much time she has left. We've always been a very close family. I used to stop by their house at least once a week. Since we got married, my visits to my grandparents have been few and far between. It's not as easy to run by there on my way home anymore, since it isn't on my way home anymore. I'm really glad Randy and I took the time to visit with them and my parents...and of course...Pumpkin!!

Guitar Hero

Ok, so let me explain a little about these pictures. Back in December, as I posted awhile ago, Randy and I went to visit some of our best friends, Ryan and Lindsey Hamilton in DC. Well, Lindsey had already given Ryan one of his Christmas presents, Guitar Hero. This is a game where you have a guitar and you have to play the notes that are on the screen. Needless to say, it's very addicting and we spent a lot of the weekend playing it. Ever since then, all Randy could do was think about getting a Play Station 2 and Guitar Hero. Well, two weeks ago he broke down and bought the Play Station 2 and borrowed his bosses daughters Guitar Hero game. I have not been able to pry him out of the office since!! Of course, I've definitely played my share also!! On Saturday(1/13) We went to dinner with Brandon and Megan (another one of our favorite couples!!!!!). After dinner, we ended up back at the house for a little Guitar Hero fun!!! And of course when Kim came over this past Saturday (1/20), I had to get her addicted too!!!
You can tell by everyone's faces that you really have to concentrate!! You can also tell that I am not coordinated enough to play the guitar like an actual guitar, I have to play it like a piano. Too many years of piano lessons!!!!

The Sink Girls

Last Tuesday (1/16), after work, I went over and spent some time with Cristen and Kathryn. It was great just to hang out with Cristen. Of course, Kathryn was the perfect baby while I was there and slept almost the whole time. I finally got to hold her and she didn't cry!! I was so excited!!! I think I'm a little bias, but she is just the cutest thing ever!!!! And I'm so glad she has dark hair...it definitely makes her one of the Sink girls!!!!!

Cristen and Kathryn.

I just love that little face!!

It's been quite awhile since I've updated my blog, so this one might be a little long!!Christmas was amazing...and busy! The Friday before Christmas, Randy and I drove to Forest to have dinner with our friends Katie and Donald...and it was fabulous to get to spend some time with them before the holiday. On Christmas Eve, we got to spend time with both sides of our family and Christmas day we got to see everyone, even though we were running around!! We had Katie and Donald back down for New Years and we all just hung out around the house and cooked dinner and of course had some chocolate from the Chocolate fountain!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2007 has been great so far! This morning at 1:12 am, my niece Kathryn Elizabeth Sink was born weighing 7.41 pounds!!! Cristen did a great job and looked amazing!! And Johnny was so calming...he made me feel better!!! I'm so excited for them and so blessed that I now have a niece!!! Thank you Johnny and Cristen!!!! I can't wait to see her grow up!!! Today is also my best friend Kim's 23 birthday!! Happy birthday sissy! Tomorrow is my other best friend Katie's 24 birthday!!! So It's been a great couple of days!! Below are some pictures of Kim and I, New Year's with Katie and Donald, Christmas, and of course last but certainly not least, my beautiful Kathryn Elizabeth Sink!!!!!
