Insomnia much?

Don't you just hate it when you know that you have to get up at a certain time otherwise you are going to miss your train, flight, important meeting? That was totally me last night and I hated it. My poor sweetheart spent the better part of two hours rubbing my hair, my back, my face to try to help me relax while he watched television.

So, needless to say when I finally looked at the clock at 2:55 a.m. and my alarm went off at 3:10 I was NOT a happy camper. So, I snagged hit the showers, finished packing and headed off to make the pickups -- but not until after I had a cold cola in my hands. I am proud that not only did we make the train but I have only napped a short while on the train to Chi-town! That being said I am probably going to CRASH later tonight due to my lack of sleep.

What do you do when you absolutely cannot sleep at night? I am willing to take any suggestions you may have!

Let me introduce myself....

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives -- well-- not really. But, it is the FIRST day of my blog! Are you excited yet? I know that I am!

For quite some time now I have been reading blogs and now am starting my own to document my daily blessings and life story to share with friends and family. So, to start this out right -- let me introduce myself to you. At least if you don't know me already -- haha! :)

My name is Jamie and I work for a private catholic college here in Wisconsin in the admissions office. I truly believe that I have the best job in the world. Not only do I get to talk on the phone...text...twitter and travel, but I get to meet great people along the way while changing lives! There is not a day that goes by that I do not love my job.

My sweetheart and I have been together for 7 1/2 years (I know -- LONG TIME!) and have two chocolate labs and a mortgage together. Our labs are Morgan, 9 years old, and Macie, 2 years old. You will definitely hear a lot about them as we go along the way.

I can't wait to share with you our life here in our little home and can't wait to meet all of you!
