Happy Wednesday to everyone!  I'm getting back into my old rhythm and linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday.  So here goes!!!

I'm loving that my amazing friend Jen had her baby!!!  Every morning I get a picture text sent to me of the cutest lil guy!  I am definitely a proud Auntie!!!  Can't wait to meet lil Colton!!!

I'm loving that I'm home and gallbladder free.  After the week in the hospital and being away from the kiddos and the Hubs, I'm thankful to be home and getting back on my feet. 

I'm loving that its football season again!!!  My Bulls did an AMAZING job beating the Fighting Irish this weekend and I can't wait for the rest of the season!  Go Bulls!!!

More importantly, I'm loving the Hubs.  Not only has he held me together through my weeklong adventure in the hospital, he managed to keep the kids feeling as normal as possible.  He's also done an amazing job taking care of me and picking up the slack while I'm a little incapable of doing too much.  Poor guy has a stomach bug right now too (although if I get it, I'll kill him....and then blog about it!!!).  I love you so much!!!  Thanks for being amazing!!!

I'm also loving that its September.  It is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!  Gold is the ribbon color for childhood cancer and I'd love to see it as popular and recognizable as the pink ribbon.  I wanted to share a little something about the kids I work with:

They ride tricycles in the hallway, not in the park. They know the names of chemos instead of their classmates. Their central lines have names. Nurses and doctors are their new family. They think hair is overrated. Their laughter can make a heart melt. Their strength will make a grown person cry. If you've ever seen a kid fight cancer, it will change your life forever! September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Pass It On.
How true these words are!  Help us as we fight this nasty beast!  Don't forget you can donate to my CureSearch Walk fundraising page here!

Have a great week!!!!

I'm linking up with Jamie again this week for What I'm Loving Wednesday.  Drum roll please................

I'm loving that in 1 day, 4 hours and 23 minutes (at the time of writing this) the Hubs and I will be waking up to head to the airport for NYC!!!!!

I'm loving the Hubs, my parents, my brothers/girlfriends, my in-laws and my grandparents in law for getting me my amazing camera

I'm loving that I will be in all my glory on Saturday night for this:

I'm loving that I get to spend 4 full days, alone with the Hubs (no kids!!!  Although I'm going to miss them terribly) exploring NYC!!!!!

One of the first pics with the Hubs (and its my favorite one!!!) taken way back in 2004...when we were babies

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!!  I'm going to be back tomorrow night but then I'll be happily being a tourist until Monday night.  Don't miss me too much!!!  I'll be back on Tuesday with LOADS of pictures and stories!!!

WILW!!!

I'm linking up again with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday. 

I'm loving these girls:

My Chi O sisters

I'm loving that a week from tomorrow I'll be on an airplane headed to NYC with this guy:

The Hubs

And I'm loving that we had dinner with the Hettingers!!!  I just love them and we had such a good time at dinner

Also, don't forget to check out my fundraising page for the Tampa Bay CureSearch Walk being held in September.  Please donate and spread the word so we can put an end to childhood cancer!

Well I'll just jump on the bandwagon

I have been secretly obsessed with Jamie's What I'm Loving Wednesdays so I thought I'd take the plunge and jump right in.  You can call me a bandwagon fan...go ahead...I don't mind...it's true!  So here goes:

I'm loving that our NYC trip is almost here!!!!

We will be boarding our airplane at the wee hours of the morning on the 5th to enjoy 4 days of nonstop excitement!!! I just know that I'm going to fall in love with this city and never want to come home.  We'll have to have our kiddos FedEx'd to the city.

I'm loving that I will be sitting 12th row, center stage, for my absolute favorite musical of all time, in 16 days. 

I can't believe I'm getting a second chance to see it in NYC.  If you didn't know, RENT closed it's Broadway run in 2008 and I was just devastated.  It has been the #1 item on my Bucket List to see RENT in NYC.  Now I'm getting my chance!!!

I'm loving that I will be spending Saturday night with my amazing Chi Omega sisters!!!  I can't wait for our sleepover.  It's going to be like college all over again!!!

And as always, I'm loving these people, because without them, I would be lost in this world:

What are you loving???
