Catching up + Thankful Thursdays

This week has been rather hectic with work, so I haven't had time to write.  Now it's back to your regularly scheduled program.  

I did an expo at work this week which is what was keeping me so busy.  We only do one a year and this one is a huge deal in Orlando within the construction industry, so it takes a little time to prepare for.  Along with being in charge of marketing, I still have my other jobs to keep up with, so...I get consumed from time to time.  This is my favorite part of my job :)  If anyone is a Harry Potter fan, that is what our booth was themed around this year.  Every year, the expo has a theme.  This year it was in the movies.  Since we had a part in actually creating Hogwarts Castle in a theme park in Orlando, I thought having this movie as our theme would work quite nicely.  Here's a picture of our booth...and of our little costumes: 

We had Butterbeer and Quidditch that people could play for to win tickets to  the theme park.  It may not be like a work expo you've gone to.  In construction, there's lots of socializing, fun, and booze.  There seriously was a booth making pineapple martinis.  Anyway, I learned a lot about Harry Potter stuff in doing this.  I have never really gotten into it.  I did watch a few movies when we started working on the project, but still haven't finished them.  They are pretty good though and I will finish them so I can join a couple of my lady friends for the next movie :)

On to Thankful Thursdays:

Happy Thursday!

Today I'm not feeling very thankful since I still don't feel good, but I know I should be thankful nonetheless!  My life is a good life and I'm just grouchy right now...so today needs captions.


I am thankful for:

My love, who had to work from 7:30 yesterday morning until 2 THIS morning and still called to check on me...and has to do it again tonight :( 

My love, future Bro & Sis-in-law (and for celebrations!)

My parents and that they have things they love to do together after 33 years of marriage!

Comfy beds...

Being able to order pizza from my phone in 3 steps...(yes, there's an app for that) and I did it last night and had pizza in 15 minutes!

Sleeping (and cute puppies)

Speaking of cute puppies...The Lil!

Having great girlfriends to be silly with...

The beach...what a wonderful creation!  

Good waves this weekend, hopefully I can kick this sickness and enjoy them!

Meeting with the photographers tonight...hopefully we will have one more thing checked off this wedding "to-do" list!
