Goooooood Friday!

Hello again friends!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post (remember... only as much as I can. lol) . So this week has been pretty good. Normal work week and hanging out with The Engineer. I did get to spend some time with my wonderful sisters at my nephews birthday party!

My Seeestterrss! 

(My stepmom is in there as well, didn't want to put a bad one of the 5 of us up! This was the best one! lol)

Nephew's bowling party! Happy Birthday, Buddy! Love you! 

The Engineer and I have been very busy looking for a place to rent this summer. It's so much harder to find what we want than I thought it would be! Between working and searching around, we are so busy! we do have a few that look promising, so keep your fingers crossed! 

Anyone have any apartment/rental home finding tips??

Let's get to the name of this post... Good Friday!

A lot of families have traditions for Good Friday. Mine has always just gotten together for Easter Sunday (which they are doing tomorrow, but the non-profit has me working my day away).  Easter was one of the coolest holidays as a kid. I lovedddd getting to go shopping with my "GP" for a pretty dress, gloves, socks, shoes, and hat then dolling up for one of the coolest church services of the year. After that, going to grams for yummy food and the best part.... The Easter Basket!! I have yet to be the "basket putter together", but I'm sure it will only be a matter of time. LOL 

What are your Good Friday plans this year??? 

The Engineer and I both had today of so we spent the majority of it looking online at rentals. I also went grocery shopping and cleaned a bit... Yay Friday! lol The Engineer is spending some MUCH NEEDED time out with his friends so what does that mean for me.......????? 

AND....

OHHH YEAHHHH!!!!

Sitting under "Old Blue", watching Father of the Bride Part II, drinking my favorite wine, and eating Nutella Swirl brownies... Ummm heck yes!!! Unfortunately, I have to work early in the AM, but if this doesn't wipe away the weekend working blues, I don't know what will?? :) :) 

Well, my glass is empty, so that means I must go refill! lol 

Happy Easter everyone!! 

The Start of Something New...

Well, hello all! Welcome to My Couch. My Blanket. My Life.

This blog is going to be a new journey for me. My boyfriend, we'll call him "The Engineer", and I have talked about me writing one for a couple months and now just seems to be the time.

                                                               "The Engineer" and I 

 This blog is going to be about my life, my career, and the experiences I have in both. Some are challenging and some are just plain hilarious, but they will all be coming from on under my favorite, old, blue, blanket... "Old Blue". 

"Old Blue" <3

I moved to the area less than a year ago to pursue a career for a large non-profit company, as well as nursing school. So far the first has taken over my life and school has not happened. I live with a wonderful, successful man that has been my rock since I came out here. You guessed it... "The Engineer". I won't get into our story on here, but I will just say it's cheesy love! 

AWWWWWWW!

<3

The name of this blog stems from my unhealthy relationship with an old, blue, ratty blanket that I couldn't even tell you the history of. It belonged to The Engineer (I claimed it) and who knows before that. I just love the thing. There is nothing better than a worn in, soft, thin, but thick enough to keep you warm comforter from back in the day. 

Anybody have anything old that others can't stand, but you think is just great?? 

The Engineer absolutely hates Old Blue and always has something to say (usually hilarious) every time I drag it out of our room and to the couch... which seemingly happens every day of our lives. I plan on keeping this thing until I am sewing pieces of it back together. I guess you can just call me Linus from Peanuts. I'll never give Old Blue up!!

I am going to try and post every day, but being the non-profit gives me awful work schedules, I will only commit myself to "as much as I can". Hoping to get some readers and more experience that will help me become a little better at this. I am sure anyone who sees this will literally "laugh out loud" when they read the unorganized craziness of my very first blog post! Thank you to all who end up reading this and I am looking forward to more, fun, exciting posts to put on here! 

Goodnight!
