I won employee of the quarter at work and got some extra recognition. Very happy stuff. Nick had a great annual review, which came with a nice raise. I had my crazy final at school and got a perfect score! Nice!! My POTD is of my 200 out of 200 score! I am so glad that class is over! All in all, not to shabby a day!<br />

I am lame. :-( I do have some great pictures that I would like to share, but it will take me a little time to get caught up. In the meantime, I will start again with today and move forward. <br />
Today is the last day of my New Testament Survey class and I have a big final. I don't normally worry too much about my quizzes and finals, but I am genuinely nervous about this test. There is a lot of memorizing on this one and I don't always do well with that. My POTD is my study sheet for tonight's test. Wish me luck. More fun photos to come as I try to catch up... <br />

I do plan on being a little productive as Nick and I will be deep cleaning our house. But I also plan on RELAXING and unwinding so I can get every ounce of the vacation experience without any crummy 4 letter words (work) creeping in... We are just about all packed, so we will just be handling last minute stuff for the next few days. <br />
<br />
Tomorrow we are going downtown to see what all the city has done for the Super Bowl. We are going to the NFL experience and will just see all the sights. It's a very exciting time and a big honor for the city to host such a big event! <br />
<br />
My photo today is last night's sunset. It was beautiful!<br />

This one didn't seem quite as hectic as some in the past... <br />
<br />
Friday we dog-sat for our friends Matt and Trina. They have 2 beautiful boxers and we had a lot of fun playing with them. They are such high-maintenance girls! LOL!! <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday night Nick and I went to dinner and a movie. We went to MCL for dinner and had some yummy stuffed chicked breast. Then we saw Man on a Ledge. It was pretty good.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Saturday we played basketball and had lunch with Chris. It was nice to hang out with him.

It was a lot of intense homework. I am in a New Testament Class and I'll just say that I tend to prefer the stories in the Old Testamant. I got through it, though. Then I had dinner with my Mom's side. I met Nick for some last minute cruise shopping last night. We got walkie-talkies and some travel stuff and some sun block. We also bought a week's worth of tanning, so we are hoping to tan a bit before we leave so we don't fry too bad! <br />
My POD today is my silly kitty. She was nice enough to keep me company while I did my homework.<br />

I am so excited about our cruise I can hardly contain myself! I am taking 2 full weeks off work, so I will have down time before the cruise to get all my work stuff off my mind and then a few days after the cruise to rest and recover from the traveling. Wa-hooo!! <br />

It's been over a week since my last post and I only took 2 photos during that time. I will share them. I am a dork. :-( I know you won't hold it against me, but this is actually something I was hoping to do for myself. My AWESOME MIL is doing a great job and it's so fun to see her photos!<br />
<br />
Ok... Last week, my super fun aunt Tricia and I went out for a night of pampering. We got massages (my new favorite thing!) and had dinner at the Melting Pot. It was so fun to catch up with her and spend some time with her. She's literally one of my all time favorite people and I adore her. I haven't been able to see her as much as I would like to lately and it was nice to spend some time with her.<br />

We went to dinner and a movie Saturday night with our good friends Matt and Trina and afterwards, we just weren't ready to go home. Instead we went to McDonalds to hang out for a bit. I am convinced we could have fun watching paint dry with Matt and Trina. They are a blast!<br />

SaturdayI had lunch with my brothers, Jake and Chris. They are so much fun and I love catching up with them! Saturday evening, we went to dinner at Bynums and went to see "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo". It was very intense, but a really great movie. My photo of the day is of some pretty snow. We got a little snow, but nothing like this...<br />

Sunday was homework day. I had a 6-8 page paper to write and I spent most of the day on that. I did get to sleep in and catch up on some TV, too! My photo of the day today is of my Kitty, Sasha. She likes to keep me company while I do my homework. <br />

It's been another couple of BUSY days! This is my busy week, so I tend to feel like I don't have much time to get myself together. It's all fun stuff though! :-)<br />
So, catching up...<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Friday - We went downtown with some friends and had dinner and went to a comedy club. It was very fun! My POD is of Lucas Oil Stadium. The Super Bowl will be hosted right here in Indy in less than a month and I thought the building looked pretty in the sunset. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAwIMpirL8ayDjFNAlPXhjhCfOZG5pNR7cAEF-PqHWokiFKvEkQ73Yw8yVMjOb0WqroOchl1Y_jqs3fLYU-Y_owx5xWSw3XtQC16YYIFqoYtJNIAj1kZM1pleEoVelM0GYV8vXrKs4N4U/s1600/Lucas+Oil.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" kba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAwIMpirL8ayDjFNAlPXhjhCfOZG5pNR7cAEF-PqHWokiFKvEkQ73Yw8yVMjOb0WqroOchl1Y_jqs3fLYU-Y_owx5xWSw3XtQC16YYIFqoYtJNIAj1kZM1pleEoVelM0GYV8vXrKs4N4U/s320/Lucas+Oil.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We went to Emma's baptizm in the morning. She looked beautiful and it was a nice time. Saturday afternoon we went to Nathan's birthday party. He was so cute! He got some fun toys and I think we had as much fun playing with them as he did! The Saturday evening we went to dinner with Matt and Trina. Fun filled day! Here is my photo of the day... Emma looking beautiful!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCjv613Fi8VQxKzcG-M4bHZrmY0owmJu8jAEQaCtsdcYowwedjhi7fiOP-0ZhLL_HilNtOgAsVM58pbvSMatkD16vdTxLJhOgBIA8CiB3a4t_d6HIhwlvTxWJRvT448sXow6hGzaHRpbU/s1600/Nick+Emma+and+I.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" kba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCjv613Fi8VQxKzcG-M4bHZrmY0owmJu8jAEQaCtsdcYowwedjhi7fiOP-0ZhLL_HilNtOgAsVM58pbvSMatkD16vdTxLJhOgBIA8CiB3a4t_d6HIhwlvTxWJRvT448sXow6hGzaHRpbU/s320/Nick+Emma+and+I.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>Sunday was homework day!

We went to dinner and then got massages! It was such a nice time with her! Then Nick and I ran to Target and my photo of the day is him being him. SO CUTE and SO SILLY!<br />

It's been a busy couple of weeks at work. And we are now 30 days from our CRUISE!!! Can't wait!!!!<br />
<br />
My photo is of Nick in front of Don Pablo's last night. We had a great workout and did 30 minutes of cardio and then about 30 minutes of weight training. My arms feel stronger already! After our workout we went to dinner and I was so excited about Don Pablo's. We don't go there a lot, but I've been craving it lately. Well, I made the mistake of eating a couple of chips with queso dip and they didn't settle well, so I didn't eat any of my dinner. Bummer. We still had a nice time, though!<br />

Tonight we are going to dinner and a comedy show with some old friends. Tomorrow morning is my cousin Emma's baptizm. She asked me to do her hair since Jill broke her wrist and can't do it. I am honored! Tomorrow afternoon is Nathan's birthday party. He's getting so big! Nick and I are hoping to hit the gym tomorrow evening. Should be a great weekend!

It's a huge complex and we really loved the indoor walking track. Each lap is 1/7th a mile and we actually ran a few complete laps last night!! I would love to be able to train hard enough to run at least half of the Komen 5k this April! They also have basketball courts and Nick and I played a little basketball too. Fun! This place is going to be great and it's so close to home!

I have class every Tuesday night, so I thought I post a picture of my books! It's hard to believe I started school almost 7 months ago!! I feel like I have forever left, but the time really is flying by. I enjoy my class mates a lot and I sometimes suprise myself with the things I come up with. <br />

It's so hard to believe it's the new year already!! <br />
<br />
I am shamelessly stealing this from my mother-in-law, but I thought it sounded like such a neat idea I wanted to do it too! <br />
<br />
Project 365 is essentually recording your life in photos. I will take a photo everyday of something interesting or fun or meaningful and I will write a quick little note about it. I am hopeful that I can keep this up and be consistant with it! It would be a very cool way to look back at the year and remember fun little moments or thoughts that could otherwise be forgotten. I am hopeful for 2012. I have some big goals this year and I am ready to tackle 2012 head on! <br />
<br />
I know I am starting out a couple of days behind...<br />
<br />
I will start with New Years Eve - We went ice skating. Now, this may not seem all that major to you, but it was a big deal for me. I have had knee and ankle issues for a long time due to my weight and I have been terrified to try skating. I have been sad, too. Nick is a great skater and it's something I've wanted to be able to do with him. Well, on New Year's Eve I bit the bullet and went skating. I had a great time, didn't fall, and wasn't too sore!! (sadly, my Aunt Jill did fall while we were deep in conversation and she broke her wrist!)<br />
<br />

New Years Day was a laid back day of sleeping in, shopping and homework. Nick and I went to one of our favorite places for dinner - Texas Roadhouse! Mmmmm!! This is a very old picture, but this is Andy Armadillo, Texas Roudhouse's mascot.<br />
<br />

Monday was back to work... No rest for the weary... I did get to catch up with Chris a bit, so I will post a fun photo of him from Christmas. It is so fun to work with him because I get to see him about everyday! It's fun to watch him thrive here!<br />

Every year, we go to John and Kathy's to celebrate with them. John made us a yummy breakfast!<br />

We are super spoiled and they go a bit nuts every year! It's like they like us or something! We had a very nice Christmas and got some cool suprises! <br />
<br />
The joke is that Nick and I are TERRIBLE at suprises, but we were determined to suprise each other this year. I got him an IPad and he got me my first Coach purse! Needless to say, we were very suprised!! John and Kathy got us a Kehrig coffee maker, and X Box with Kinect and dance game, clothes, gift cards, and all kinds of other neat stuff! We put together a little travel package for them to prepare for our upcoming CRUISE!! Here are some photos from the morning:<br />

LOL!<br />
<br />
Then we headed to my Mom's for our Christmas with her. We had a spectaular dinner. There is no food in the world like Mom's food and she made all of my favorites! It was a beautiful meal! We played and opened presents and had a super fun time! <br />

For now, I am looking forward to all of the possibilities of 2012! It's going to be a great year!

It was perfect! I got to visit with my family and friends! I got some very thoughtful and special gifts! I pulled of a suprise for Nick. <br />
<br />
Instead of describing everything step by step, I will share some photos and hightlights.<br />
<br />
I already talked about my Hollenbaugh family Christmas and Yuletide, both of which were awesome! I will start with last weekend. <br />
<br />
The 15th was our 2nd annual stamp club cookie exchnage. I have been in this stamp club for a few years and some of the people have changed, but it is still one of my favorite days of every month. I love the ladies I get to create with and we have a wonderful time together. This photo is fuzzy, but here were are! And the cookies were amazing!<br />

The evening of the 17th, Nick and I went to the Melting Pot with our friends Matt and Trina. We did a gift exchange and had a wonderful time with them. Here are some photos from that evening:<br />

We watched Harry Potter and had a relaxing visit.<br />
<br />
On the 20th, I got to catch up with my friend, LouAnna! She looks awesome and we had such a nice chat. She is good for my spirit. I can't beleive we totally spaced getting a picture!<br />
<br />
On the 21st, we did our exchange with my aunt Jill's family. They made Nick and I a really beautiful wall hanging with the words "Loving the Journey" and some meaningful words that Nick and I used to define the journey we are on. It means more to me than Jill will ever know and it was one of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever received. I will post photos soon!<br />
<br />
On the 22nd, I did my annual Mommy/Daughter Christmas. We go to dinner and do a private Christmas each year, just the two of us. We went to the Cheesecake Facotry and had a nice time. Here is my pretty Mommy!<br />
<br />

The 23rd, Jake and his family and Nick and I celebrated Christmas with my Dad and Claire. We had such a nice evening and some really fun times! Dad and Claire gave us a neat frame and a photo shoot certificate. I can't wait to do a photo shoot with them!<br />
<br />
The 24th was the PERFECT Christmas Eve! Nick and I slept in, we watched Christmas movies in our jammies for the better part of the day, and then we had the annual Doty family Christmas with Nick's Mom's family. They are such a cool group of people and we had a great time with them! Here is a photo of some of the silliness of the evening! This is a sock monkey wearing sock monkey slippers!<br />

</div><div align="left">The evening of Christmas Eve, Nick and I went on a drive and looked at lights. We also did a small exchange for each other. Earlier in the month (because we are impatient!) we exchanged one other gift. Nick got me a gorgous pair of earrings and I got him a Colts hoodie. Then, a few days ago, he gave me a very cool scarf and some fuzzy slippers and I gave him a huge elephant!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO3nIP6vLvzmRMq6wJhR9LkVl6kPNHI5PsAmdSwrwHkeQ7icAce2Bemwsy28LGeDe_WE1HdSTwsZplhpL5Pp99S34WfHAQXjXPVY-0aSrYjp6PBnv-GBOGd-hDjLOGI1TuGDKUfvUGTf0/s1600/Nicks+new+elephant.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO3nIP6vLvzmRMq6wJhR9LkVl6kPNHI5PsAmdSwrwHkeQ7icAce2Bemwsy28LGeDe_WE1HdSTwsZplhpL5Pp99S34WfHAQXjXPVY-0aSrYjp6PBnv-GBOGd-hDjLOGI1TuGDKUfvUGTf0/s320/Nicks+new+elephant.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On Christmas Eve, I gave him a letter I wrote him telling him how much I love him and how much he means to me and he gave me a REAL pair of Ugg boots that I've been drooling over.

Happy Anniversary to my MOM and DAVE!I am in the midst of my fun and busy week! Having a great time and making sure to keep my head on so far!<br />
<br />
Happy Anniversary to my Mom and David today! Ther have been married 10 years and I am so happy for them. They are truly on a journey together and they are so united and commited to each other! My Mom is so happy and content in her life after her own hard road and David has been so good for her and for our family. He is an amazing man and is very special to me. They are an inspiration!<br />
<br />
I am having a good day at work today. The past year has been very bumpy for me, but I recently had a "big girl" chat with myself and I am feeling alive again. I discussed my future plans with my leader last week and discussed moving in to our training department. I am very excited about the possibilities of that and my leader was very enthusiatic! Well, I just found out that I might get an opportunity in that arena sometime soon. Very fun!<br />
<br />
I am going to the doctor today to see how my iron infusion worked and I am keeping my fingers crossed about it. <br />
<br />
Tonight I have stamp club and a cookie exchange with some super cool ladies. It's always a lot of fun! My cookies look awesome! :-) I will post some photos from tonight.<br />
<br />
Have a super day!

Friday night, Nick and I went to dinner with my Aunt and Uncle and our very good friends, Tricia and Jeremy. We started with dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory. Yum! Then they surprised me with tickets to Yuletide Celebration. It's a very fun Christmas concert with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and dancing Santas. It's a beautiful musical celebration and it always gets my so pumped for Christmas!<br />

Friday night was the Allstate leadership dinner at the Skyline Club. It's a resteraunt on the 36th floor a building downtown and it was a beautiful view. The food was good and we had a nice time.<br />

Then we went out to the Christmas version of the covered bridge festival and walked around some. Nick and I got our picture taken with Santa! We stopped to look at a neat light display on the way home and finished at my Grandma's house with hot cocoa and doughnuts. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Time has absolutely FLOWN this year!! December is my favorite month. I love it! My birthday is early in the month and I am so spoiled, I normally end up celebrating for about a week! Then comes Christmas. I love this time of year. I love to shop for my friends and family and try to find something I think they will like and appreciate. I love the cool, crisp air and the Christmas music and all the neat decorations. It's so festive. My month is packed with festivities and I look forward to all of them!<br />
<br />
Tonight starts the month out right. My DMIL and DFIL are taking me to my FAVORITE resteraunt, Texas Roadhouse, for a birthday dinner. I love spending time with them and I am anxious to catch up with them!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow night, Nick and I are having a super nice dinner at the Skline Club downtown with the Allstate managers. It's always a very nice time.<br />
<br />
Saturday we are celebrating Christmas early with my Dad's side of the family. I am not sure what all we are doing yet, but I am sure it will be a blast! It's always a lot of fun to hang out with them.<br />
<br />
Sunday I am having a birthday dinner with my Mom's family. My DSIL and I are born 3 days apart, so we will do a combined party. That will be really fun, too! <br />
<br />
Monday night, my good friend Trina is making my favorite dinner for me. She makes amazing meatloaf and mashed potatos! Mmmm!<br />
<br />
Then Tuesday is class.... Fun times!! <br />
<br />
So much to look forward to!

But I want to let everyone know how truely blessed I am each and everyday. I may not share a "thankful for" on my blog, but I will try very hard to express my gratitiude to the people I am thankful for as often as possible. My life is full of amazing friends and family members whi inspire and lift me constantly. I am thankful for every person who touches my life, from Nick, to my family, to total strangers who share a smile or who's misfortune reminds me to be thankful for the blessings I enjoy.<br />
Thanks for reading and don't forget to give Thanks for the blessings in your lives.Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12919563917641526089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866423522741947988.post-46214529336618869142011-11-29T07:58:00.000-08:002011-11-29T07:58:31.057-08:00November 29th - Thankful for...Today I am grateful for my 5 senses. I have terrible eyesight, but I am glad that I can fix it with contacts. I have seen and hope to see some really amazing and beautiful sights. <br />
<br />
Nick likes to tease that I could hear an ant fart. I can hear pretty well. I love music and the sound of laughter and rain drops on the roof.<br />
<br />
I am also glad that I can taste. I love the taste of food and sometimes enjoy it too much! <br />
<br />
I love that I can smell. This time of year is full of wonderful smells! I love to smell pine trees and Christmas cookies and banana bread.<br />
<br />
And I love that I can feel things. I am wearing a soft sweater today. I love the feel of my sheets on my comfy bed. I love it when Nick holds my hand and I can feel him squeeze it. I love a cool breeze on my face. <br />
<br />
I am glad for all the things I experience because of my senses.Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12919563917641526089noreply@blogger.com2
