Happy and with little sleep, this is what I come up with... :)

Epic Failure! Hillary has failed, once again, to post regularly...but you already knew that. Those of you who continue to follow my blog, you're friends indeed! :) Ok, so I have been incredibly busy with work this week, but that doesn't really explain last week and so forth. I had planned on writing last night, but we were kept busy with calls till after midnight and by then I was exhausted enough that you probably wouldn't have understood a word I said. Actually, it probably would've been no different then some of the posts I have made in the past. ;)
This week I put in 62 hours and the last two days have not been easy. Sleep is wonderful, but this job doesn't always allow that. Sometimes I wonder why I enjoy my job so much... to always have a normal night and you just work days sounds pretty awesome at the moment. :) I most likely would hate it after awhile though, so I'm content with where I'm at. :)
So, Wednesday night I had 4 hours of sleep, which was great since I was working a 9 to 5 shift later that morning and knew I could make it till evening before getting a nap. Ha! That didn't happen... Through a series of events, I ended up working all evening and then working my normal scheduled night shift. And boy was it busy! We ran dumb calls all evening, but I still had fun. I was working with a great partner and we had fun giving each other hard times :) You wouldn't believe how much I get teased at work. I'm a great source of enjoyment.... don't ask me why. It's not like I'm crazy or anything! ;)
Yesterday, my partner asked if he could come to my wedding (Don't worry! I'm not getting married yet.... it was a, "if you get married someday"), because  he wanted to approve of the guy I marry. Then he came up with a better idea and just decided that the guy would have to come to our base so they could approve of him. So yes, whoever I marry will probably have to go through a peer interview with the guys from work. ;) I thought it was sweet though just because the few guys that I really enjoy working with are old enough to be my dad and I guess feel they have to watch out for me :)
There's some things not great about my work, but overall, I feel very blessed that God has given me the privilege to work there and I can't imagine being happier at any other job. :)
I really should be sleeping as it's almost midnight and I only had 3 hours of sleep last night... I think my body is adjusting to little sleep though, and I'm not nearly as tired as I was this afternoon. lol, this afternoon I was falling asleep with Paige in my lap and she was playing games on my phone and saying: "Howie, wake up". :) We had some good times together....when I wasn't falling asleep. ;) I tried getting her to say "Hillary" and I wasn't very successful. She came up with Howiehair instead. :) lol, it's so cute when she says it and maybe I'll catch it on video one of these times and post it up. I love my nieces and the hilarious things they say :)
Tomorrow is going to be a great day! We have my sister's shower at 4 and then all of the girls are going out to Matt's Steakhouse for dinner. So exciting! :) The 3 little girls will be staying at home with Dad, Nathan, and John. lol, need to have a hidden camera for that! Hopefully, it goes smoothly for them and the girls don't drive them too insane. ;)
Well, it's late enough and I should get to bed... I didn't read back over what I wrote, so forgive any mess ups and rambling sentences :)

Enjoy your weekend everyone and have a great 4th of July! =)
