Partytime for Team Sallis

So "Sallis" is the celebrity name combo that we use for Hollis and Sal. Forrest came up with it and that was just what we used to call them when talking to each other, but now I have taken to just using their combo name generally :) I had the BEST time at their reception! My feet and legs were so sore the following day from all the dancing... Forrest and I hadn't been out that late in YEARS... It was so late even Hollis made a comment about us still being out - heh.

Look at how adorable they are!
Can anyone say expert party pic below?

Fun with flowers...

Shenanigans from our reception table... we were "El Boracho" meaning...well...the drunk and well uh um we were! HA! We were the table of the "older" college crew for Hollis.

Yay Team Sallis!

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

I keep wanting to say "Aloha" but we didn't go to Hawaii, we were in Mexico so "Hola Bitches!" Hollis and Sal got married in Puerto Vallarta so we decided to turn a long weekend into our annual warm location family vacation. Using a promo we found on ideeli.com we were able to get a two bedroom suite for the price of a single room...and upon reservation they upgraded us to a three bedroom suite - SCORE! But I was still skeptical until we arrived and saw the beautifulness that was about to be our relaxing relaxing-ness. Chelsea didn't believe me when I said "On vacations, Forrest and I like to do absolutely nothing...literally nothing."

What's a girl to do?

To work or not to work.... that is the question. Whether it is nobler to earn money or spend time nurturing your family. The ability to dip into both a little bit would be nice, if one could actually do it equally to some extent.

I am finding that the work side is dipping more, cutting into my family / personal time and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I keep thinking I'll feel better if I were financially rewarded for all the additional work, but I'm not exactly sure if that's true. Would more money make up for all the time I feel like I am losing with them? I do find the work very rewarding but there's only so much straw this camel's back can take

A chapter comes to a close

Dad's grave marker came in a month or so ago and my mom sent me a pic to show that it came out really well. It was kind of creepy how they told us about getting my mom's info engraved on there ahead of time to save some $$ and all I could think was "is this really appropriate right now?" But alas, that's what it is. I still haven't been to the site since the burial - it's shame as I work just 5 minutes away but currently my job has been an exercise in how to sequester someone inside the office for months at a time.
