In 5.5 hours....

I'll be done with work for a whole SEVEN days! woohoo Mom gets in early tomorrow morning, and we're planning a day of free tours and walking in downtown Denver, and then we'll just see what we end up doing past that! Just wanted to let you know I was going to be M.I.A. for several days, but HOPEFULLY when I check back in sometime next week, I'll have some pictures to share with you!
Have a WONDERFUL holiday! Hope each of you gets alot of relaxation and family time!

So excited

Obviously I am getting more and more excited about mom's visit, as each day passes, BUT I am also excited about all the vacation I am getting to take (paid vacation, even) from now until the end of the year. Including today, I will only be working 21 days for the rest of 2010! How awesome is that? So, I will finish off this week; only work Monday of next week; have a 4 day week after Thanksgiving, followed by 2 full weeks of work (yuck...lol); and I will work 4 days the week before Christmas and have the entire last week of the year OFF!
I promise I'm not trying to rub it in for those of you that don't have jobs that offer as much paid time off; I'm simply so excited that I had to share it with you!
Thanks for listening!!!!! xoxoxo

Guess what happened today?

So, yesterday I was talking to my mom, and though I should've realized that this would be the case, I found out that my sis and fam (who mom now lives with) are going to DFW for Thanksgiving next week. And since we have a split family on our side, and my sister's in-laws only have one extra bedroom, my mom wasn't going to be able to go. WHICH leaves her at home from Wed to Sun, ALL ALONE for the holiday!!!! :( So, of course, I was devastated when I heard this. Now, like I said, my sis has in-laws and my dad's side of the fam all in the metroplex, and since we're going to Houston for Christmas, which means they're staying there for us, I should've known this owuld be the case. But I just hadn't thought about ti til I talked to my mom yesterday! And now I am devastated for her! And she is openly a lil bummed about the whole thing. So, my hubby, as precious as he is, last night when I told him, decided we should try and figure out a way for her to come up here next week and be with us. So, we had his dad, who knows people within Frontier looking for buddy passes for her, but that would mean she was on standby. So, as Chris was telling his mom, Patti, about all this, she said we definiatley don't wnat her flying standby during such high traffic times, and she offered to buy mom's way to come up here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that awesome? I mean, do I have the best in-laws, or what? :) So, instead of being all alone, NOW, my mom is ocming here in ONE WEEK! AND staying until the following monday! woohoo

Just ad to share this wonderful blessing with you and praise my in-laws for being amazingly generous and thoughful!!! xoxoxo Happy Holidays!!!

Mr. & Mrs. Hill

So, sadly, we were not able to make it down for the wedding of my college roommate, Kellye. BUT luckily, they came HERE to CO for their honeymoon. So we met them halfway (they honeymooned in Co Springs) in Denver for dinner last week. It was sooooo wonderful seeing them again, esp post-nuptials! They are precious and so cute (and a lil disgusting-lol), and we had the best time with them, as always. Thanks, guys, soooo much for coming up to meet us on your honeymoon! We love you and wish you all the best!
So, here are a few pics Kel took...
