Rizzo sporting his new camo gear. It’s been chilly these last few days and he’s been shaking so it’s been perfect. I got him a Christmas one as well since they were having a sell.

June needed to go to the store so I tagged along and we got everyone Krispy Kreme doughnuts. It was a bummer because the light turned off as we were walking in so no free doughnut for us.

We all took naps and took Emmy to the park. We played on swings and slid on slides. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on a swing and after I get over the stomach feeling I had fun trying to see how high I could go.

We went home and since everyone came home as well we did a hot pot meal with coconuts. No coconuts for me though. I’ve also realized my appetite is way smaller than it used to be.

Brudda leaves tomorrow morning but Emmy stays for a couple more weeks with us. Cannot wait to make more memories with her!

I was invited to have lunch with a different team since I support them. They decided on Pappadeaux and from what I could understand from the manager, it seems I’ll be invited to others down the line. We all shared appetizers and each got to order an entree. I was able to make conversation with everyone and learned more about them which helps build relationships and such. I’m not so nervous around the manager now due to being invited to these things so that helps. Our own team doesn’t even do this so it’s nice to get away from the desk.

When we got back the Halloween party had already started. I think this is the first time any Halloween stuff has been celebrated at work with goodie bags and everything. It’s nice that the admins did that and even got the managers to say something nice.

I went and mentored the high schoolers today. They asked if I’d come back next year when though they’d already have graduated. I told them I don’t know because I don’t want any other kids. I like them and it’s sad to watch people leave. Then I got teary eyed thinking of them graduating from high school, going to college, graduating and getting jobs. I love watching people grow.

We are packed and currently about to fall asleep at Sissy’s as our adventure starts tomorrow. It’s going to be freezing and we don’t have anything planned. We’d probably just stuff our faces only. Fingers crossed all goes well.

Sissy, BIL, Timothy and I went to King’s Court to watch the final World Series game. We were going to go to Pitch 25 but it was too busy. We were able to snag a table at King’s, ordered a buttload of food and watched without worries.

Sadly we lost and it was a huge dissapointment but watching in that environment was worth the traffic. The upside is no honking throughout the night and I can actually sleep. One more day of work before the weekend to Denver!

My feet were tired from all the dancing I did last night so the first thing I did this morning was a one hour foot massage at Footworks. I fell asleep and I’m certain all of them heard me snoring. I had planned to do this with Mallory a few weeks ago as a birthday present but Jacob decided to be born and so we’d have to do a raincheck.

I had Tiff’s Treats delivered to Janna’s house since that’s where Mallory was due to JJ getting strep. They were happy with Chick-fil-A sandwiches for lunch. So easy to please. She opened her baby presents, birthday presents and JJ’s birthday present as well.

After we caught up and ate I was able to hold baby Jacob. He is so much tinier than when JJ was a baby. He smiles when he sleeps and makes a lot of sounds with heavy breaths. I cannot wait to see how he interacts with JJ as he grows up.

JJ on the otherhand was feeling much better so Mallory got to go home with Jacob. She sent me a couple of pictures of him playing with the present I got him. It seems to be JJ approved! Love his smiles.

I picked up groceries on the way home, took a nap, meal prepped then went on my way to meet Sebastian at Torchy’s. We haven’t seen each other in almost two years and we live so close to one another. I guess that’s what being a grown up is. We spent two and a half hours catching up in deep conversation per usual. We didn’t notice the time until they were cleaning up to close.

I’m pooped from so much social interaction these past couple of days. Luckily it’s only three work days until the weekend!
