Sickly

I honestly believe that I have the worst immune system ever!  I can look at someone who is sick and I will probably get what they have.  Scott has been fighting a cold or something like it for the past week or so.  He saw the doctor and is on antibiotics.  Guess what....yah, I now have what he had.  My head hurts, my throat hurts, i'm sneezing and my nose is a bit runny.  I DO NOT have a fever thank goodness!  I went to work for a couple hours today and decided I needed to come home and sleep it off.  I'm feeling a little better this evening and will continue with some OTC meds in hopes that I will feel better and better each day.  I can't be sick for halloween!

Our friends Kelly and Daniel are having a halloween party on Saturday so we will be spending the holidy with them and lots of our friends.  I am SUPER excited!  Since I am on some meds I cannot drink so it will definitely be hard to stay awake...but probably pretty darn interesting as I will be the ONLY one NOT drinking!  haha  I bet I'll have some stories to tell!

Scott is still working Saturdays as of now...make that overtime!  Work has really been picking up for him latelly...he may continue on this working saturday schedule for a while.  Bittersweet.  I like the paychecks but I miss spending that extra day with him.

Thats all for now.  Pray that I only start feeling better and not worse! 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!

Lazy Sunday

Today has been quite a lazy day.  We went to Ziegfest last night with our friends, Kelly, Daniel, Dos, Chris and Megan.  Lots of good Texas Country music!  Afterwards we hopped on over to a bar/dancehall near our house, Big Texas.  We had such a good time!!!!  Late night last night made for a super lazy day today! 
To backtrack a little bit, i got all my Scentsy stuff in the mail on Friday!  I am sooo ready for my first party!  There are so many awesome smelling scents!  I had only smelled a few of the ones that my mom has so it was cool to see alllll the other ones there is to offer!  Right now I am burning Snowberry.  YUMMMM-O!!!  I sat down again a little earlier and smelled them all again.  I really do LOVE this stuff.  So, if you are interested in hosting a party or coming to a party just let me know.  You really should check this stuff out.   I am planning on having a launch party early November so keep your eyes/ears out for an invite...and definitely let me know if you are interested.
Scott's cooking dinner and I am making dessert.  Gotta get in the kitchen! 

p.s. WAY TO GO TEXANS!!!!! :)

Smelly Good Stuff!

Have you ever heard of or smelled a Scentsy product?  Well, you should!  They smell sooooo good!  Mom has had one for a while and everytime we would go to her house it always smelled soo good!  When we moved into our house she got us one.  Basically it is a wickless candle.  It has wax in a tray with a light under it that heats it up and the aroma comes out.  They come in lots of pretty warmers. 
Now you are wondering, why is she writing about this?  Well, I have decided to start selling them.  It's a "job" much like selling Avon or Pampered Chef, etc.  I have a website that you can order from or you can host a party.  Parties are the way to go because you have an opportunity to smell the scents and see the pretty warmers.  It's a great gift and Christmas is right around the corner!  So, let me know if you are interested in the Scentsy product.  Let's have a party!!!! :)  I am going to try to have a launch party soon as well so if you are interested in attending let me know.

On another note, our date night last night was wonderful.  It was so nice just to go out and spend some time with Scott.  Yes, we spend every night together at home but it's just so different when you get to go out!  (I sound like we have children  keeping us home or something. haha)
We had sushi for dinner then went to a movie.  We saw Couples Retreat.  Both were great!  My husband is amazing!!!!! 

Love to all!

Happy Hump day!

Work has gotten so busy lately that we have had to make a few changes to our class schedule.  ("class?" you are thinking...i lead 4 exercise classes of EKG monitored exercise daily for heart patients)  Our morning classes have to be supervised by a cardiologist. Well, with the business we have had to add another class in the morning, and the times the our cardiologist can be there have changed a bit.  Morning classes went from Mon, Tues, Thurs, to Mon, Thurs, Fri....which means, i have 2 days a week that I dont have to be at work until later!  (by later i mean 9 or 10)  This is definitely making it easier for me to get a good workout in before going to work.  It is so hard to come home and work out after being in a gym and running around a hospital all day on your feet.  People think that because I spend most of my day in a rehab gym that I have all the time in the world to exercise....WRONG!  I hardly have time to eat lunch some days because we are soooooo busy.  Most of the time I am eating standing up...taking bites between patients.  We are honestly the busiest we have been in the 2 years i have worked there.  Don't get me wrong, i am definitely not complaining!  JOB SECURITY! haha
I'm hoping the rest of the week goes by quickly. I am ready for  a weekend at home doing NOTHING....well, except cleaning. (that's usually what my weekends at home consist of)  Last night I gave Scott a challenge.  It's been a long time since we have gone out together...like a date.  So last night I told him that he had to plan a date night for Friday night somewhere besides at home and he couldnt ask my opinion.  He has to do it all on his own.  I'm pretty excited to see what he comes up with...it definitely could be interesting.  I will let you all know what he comes up with!  Stay tuned.....

workout #1

Scott gets up at 4:15am during the week because he has to be at work by 5 am.  I have always thought it was easier to wake up early when you are waking up with someone.  So, I decided, why not get up with Scott in the morning and work out before work.  Sounds like a great idea...right??  haha
Today was workout #1.  I sooooo would rather have stayed in bed.  It's rainy outside, perfect sleeping weather!  But, kudos to me for getting out of bed at 4:30am.  I decided to start Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred.  It's a pretty good program, not too hard, definitely not too easy, and it doesnt take long.  It has been a while since i have done it, or any "exercise" for that matter.  I mean, i am on my feet ALLLL DAY long at work, running through the hospital, working out with patients, etc.   I try to fit in as much physical activity as possible throughout the day though, to keep me from being completely sedentary....but engaging in actual planned exercise for myself has been quite non-existant lately ;and believe me, I am definitely not happy about that.  Well, Jillian just about killed me this morning.  I honestly thought I was going to puke!  That hasnt happened to me in ages! haha   I know that once i get used to waking up this early I will get  used to it and no longer feel the urge to puke.  Today is a normal day at work so i should be home by 530 so I will try to plan on walking the neighborhood this evening, weather permitting.  Maybe I will even get Scott to join me! ;)
Well, say a little prayer for me and my exercise routine.  We all know how much i need it!
God Bless!

Babies, Babies, Babies....

No, don't get excited...I"M NOT PREGO!!!! haha
Last weekend we went to CC for my sister-in-law, Jenna's, baby shower. It was so much fun! It's been a while since I've been to a baby shower. I got to see a lot of my in-law side of the family and that's always nice! I cannot wait to meet the newest member, Miss Mia Lane Cordy! She will be here late December sometime. We will have to make a trip to California to see her though, which is fine with us!
My best friend is also preggers with her first. Mr. Jaxon Cook should be here mid January...maybe on my birthday? I'm excited to meet him as well. Hopefully I will make it to austin sometime soon to hang out with his mommy and help her get his room together and other stuff! I just love shopping for babies!

For now, we plan on just enjoying everyone else's babies. We definitely want to have children, but we are loving enjoying each other and getting plenty of sleep right now. :)

Hope you all have a great rest of the week and of course a wonderful weekend. We actually get to stay home this weekend so we will be working on our projects around the house....and of course SLEEPING! haha

What's wrong with me?

If you have seen me, or a picture of me, lately you have probably noticed that Ive gained quite a bit of weight. Something is going on with my body and I am working with a few doctors to figure it all out. I've gained a lot of weight over the passed few months without changing my lifestyle habits very much, definitely not enough to cause this much weight gain. Also, i hardly EVER feel GOOD. It's definitely not how I should be feeling at this age! Ive been having all kinds of tests done and will see an internal medicine doctor in November. Just say a little prayer that one of these doctors can figure out what is wrong with my body so that I can start feeling better!
THANKS!

BORING

Wow, I never knew how boring Scott and I really were until I started doing a blog! I always want to update but never really have anything new going on. HAHA Oh the joys of life!
Last weekend was my cousins wedding so the family was in town. We had so much fun! I am so extremely happy for my cousin Jeff, and my NEW cousin Ashley. I just LOVE her! I am so glad he found someone so perfect for him!!!! (and she fits in with the family pretty darn well!)
We ended the weekend with the Astros game. The last home game of the season and it was a WIN! What fun we had! Scott and I took Kadyn and Aubrey to the game with us and everyone else met us there. We got there early so the kids were able to run around and see all the cool stuff outside of the park. Those 2 just LOVE baseball! Thanks to Reed Ryan for the tickets! :)
Another normal week is almost over..pretty boring, i know! This coming weekend we are headed south. I am helping give my new sister-in-law, Jenna, a baby shower on Saturday for my little niece that will be here in January-Miss Mia Lane Cordy. I'm so excited!!!! I just wish they would be living in Texas! :(
Yet, another fun filled weekend with the Zickefoose clan. (Although last weekend I was informed by my place setting at the rehearsal dinner and my mother that I was no longer a Zickefoose! I will ALWAYS be a Zickefoose!!!!!!) I was going to drop Scott off in Victoria for the weekend on my way to CC, but we decided that we really hate being apart...so, he's coming along! How awesome is that to have a husband that you absolutely hate being away from?!?! I just love him so much!!!!! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Love to all!

Mrs. Scott Gower
