1 Month to go..

We can't wait.. is it too obvious?

Oh, and another thing..

Anyone know how to remove that black border from my pics?
It is totally buggish.

Lucky Dog.

As mentioned in my last post,
the Hubs just started at a new firm on Monday.
After only being employed for a couple hours,
he walked out of his first staff meeting with one of these..

Just a "little thanks" from the company to all of their employees for doing such a great job.

....and I thought my job was sweet with the unlimited fountain drinks. psh.

Life is good..

Jon has wrapped up yet another semester of school,
which means Summer is right around the corner.
Did I mention he only has two left?

He also starts at a new firm on Monday.
I don't think we will know what to do with ourselves with two incomes.

I have the cutest niece and nephews,
and adorable Knox was born this past weekend.
I just can't get enough of that hair.
So maybe I am getting a little baby hungry...

We are officially MOVING!!
Hooray for a dishwasher and two floors!

Osama is Dead.

DJ Tanner calls on Sunday,
and will be home six weeks after that.


Feeling blessed.

Little Dude.

Looks like Fisher has some competition.

Dig 'em.

Now if only I was Wendy Peppercorn.

Nerd Alert.

I purchased this fine creature a few weeks ago..

and well..

..let's just say that I haven't put it down since.

{admitting to the problem is the first step, right?}

DROOOOIIIIID.

Bam-Sham-A-Lam-A

You better believe the Vikes are Region Champs baby!!

...and Barb survived another season without being arrested.

Mad Eye Moody..

We went to our annual eye appointment on Saturday, and it went a little like this..

Dr {as he is examining my right, more unfortunate eye}: Hmm.. {pause} Hmm..
Me: {still just waiting for him to actually say something}
Dr: Has anyone ever told you why your eye is so misshaped?
Me: Well.. no..??
Dr: Hmm.. do you know if they used forceps on you when you were delivered?
Me: haha.. {oh, you're serious}.... um.. not that I know of??
Dr: Well, that would make sense, when an eye is this misshaped, it typically occurs in delivery, and more commonly when forceps are used.
Me: {lovely}
Dr: Oh, but it's nothing to worry about. It isn't a physical defect or anything, you can only see the Birth Defect under a scope.
Me: {Now it's a birth defect? Yeah, that sounds like no big deal at all}

{the eye examination continues for the next 5 min.}

Dr: All right, well I'm going to need to go ahead and special order your contacts {for my one eye only of course, since that is totally normal} since we don't have anything like this in stock. I'm not 100% sure they will fit properly, so you may need to come in for another examination if they irritate your eye.
Me {with no enthusiasm in my voice}: greeeaatttt, thanks.


Of course my mom can't remember if forceps were used or not, but did recall that she did get her wisdom teeth out while I was in the womb. Neat.

So not Simple.

I got this fine beauty for Christmas from my Mother in law, and let's be honest.. it intimidates me quite a bit. Over the past year or so I have been interested in starting this new hobby, and have seen so many cute things that look so easy to make.. but wasn't I foolish. I have made two pillows, and the first one was more of an embarrassment. It's sad when your husband is showing you how to thread the bobbin, when your Mother in law just gave you an entire tutorial. Looks like my 7th grade TLC class wasn't as useful as I thought. Anyways, I'm determined to master this little machine, so if anyone has any ideas on easy projects, send them my way. Who would have thought that I would really be asking for Sewing advice? I'm getting old aren't I.
