Packages

So almost everyday this week there have been packages to open when I get home, which is super exciting because I love getting things in the mail. Unfortunately it's things like ties, shoes, bibles, invitations, and not fun stuff like books or clothes. O well. It's still fun to open them up.

We registered at Farm and Fleet the other night... that was fun. I'm not sure why looking at chainsaws and hammers is more appealing than flatware... I'm just weird I guess.

Last night I went with a bunch of girls to Olive Garden to surprise Amy for her birthday. She didn't see it coming at all and her reaction was classic Amy. *grin* It was a good time. I stopped at Menard's on the way home, seriously one of my favorite stores. They have everything. I looked at paint samples... and got cell pack inserts so I can plant more flowers... and looked at cabinet hardware... so much fun stuff!

Blessings.

same old

so there's nothing really new going on... (that doesn't involve wedding stuff and it bores me when other people talk about their plans so I'll spare you all) I had a good weekend. Too short. It's unfortunate that every monday can't be a federal holiday. :)

I need to start seeds sometime this week, I am so ready for spring! I don't mind the cold, and I can handle snow. It's just too brown outside I want to see green.

ooo... my future sis-in-law started repenting last week! That's new and exciting. Otherwise, life is good and fairly uneventful, which I love.
Blessings.

long weekend

So have I ever mentioned that I love being a federal employee?? I had president's day off, it was great.

Valentine's day was busy... sprout and I went to get her measured for her dress and I picked up invitation books... I had no idea there were so many styles. They even have Cinderella invites that come with pumpkin coach envelope seals. So yeah, that's what I decided on.... ok, maybe not. I'm not a fan of crowded restaurants, so I cooked supper for my fam and Bob. (cheaper, and I get to make all of my favorite weird recipes. Definitely win-win.) He brought me roses... he's pretty amazing...

His family served lunch Sunday so we spent the day in Tremont. Getting up early is good for me, right? :) Good chance to get to know a new church kitchen... haha... in w-ton Drew always used to tell us that we weren't full members until we knew where everything was in the kitchen (and owned a roaster, but yeah, don't need one of those quite yet). We also learned that "Dinosaurs are very slow creatures..." so funny. :)

Yesterday I made a lot of decisions. Go me. It was maybe a little painful. Amber and I met for lunch, which was good, and then talked about flowers, which is fun. I also picked out and wrote invites, picked out veils, and made lists of people. eesh. O well, it has to get done sometime, right?

I did not want to get up this morning...
Blessings.

spring fever

I'm hoping that's all I've got... yesterday I dropped my cereal bowl on the table and it spilled all over the newspaper, floor, and me. And I can't keep my days straight for the life of me. *sigh* O well. :)

So we're mostly registered. yay. Not my favorite thing, but at least it's done. So we're sitting there talking to the BB&B 'bridal consultant' while she was waiting for something to load... she asked Bob, "so how did you propose?" Awkward pause... um.... haha. So we told her we weren't dating, we were just good friends when he asked, and I'm not sure if she totally got it. She kept asking if I was surprised... um... yeah... It was really funny.

I'm excited for the three day weekend! Although I don't think I'll have a whole lot of time to do nothing... o well. :)

so warm

I'm ready for spring. It's been so nice out- I really want to plant flowers or something. I have a whole package of seeds that I ordered sitting on my dresser just waiting... actually, I should start them in my potting shed later this month if I have time.

It was a really good weekend, busy but not stressful. Friday Bob and I met BDY and J-nell at Tobin's for supper. We stopped on the way and picked out a cake... yeah... um... I really, really, really don't understand people that actually care about all this stuff. Cake is cake and it tastes amazing no matter how it's decorated. :D anyway. It was good to spend time with B and J, catch up, get some good advice... good times.

Saturday I learned how to drive stick shift.... yeah, I know, how does a farm girl not already know that, but I never learned. I only killed it a few times. (Once in front of Dan L. Ha!) :) um... and I need a lot more practice before it would be safe for me to drive in town.

We were in Tremont on Sunday and spent some time visiting his grandparents Sunday afternoon... played dodge ball with his little cousins... *grin* I have terrible aim. And I throw like a girl. O well.

So I guess we have to register this week... woot. :P That'll be interesting.
Blessings.

skiing and soreness

So it was a pretty busy weekend... Friday night the yg sorted clothes which is always an experience. People donate some crazy things and you never know what you'll see. Like matt s. in a very large leopard print robe/dress/thing. *grin*

Amy, Elise, Shelly and I left right after that for Madison... well... we were going to leave right after, but of course we left a half hour later than planned. O well, I got to spend more time with Bob. And we still made it to the hotel by 12:30. (we might have gotten a little lost at that point)

Skiing was great! The weather was perfect- low 30's, sunny, not windy, and the snow was good too. It was a really good day... Shelly and I stuck to the easy hills. Ames and Elise tried some harder ones, and Elise came home with a cut from colliding with a snowboarder. We stopped at Culver's on the way home- so good.

I wasn't very sore Sunday until after walking around Jodi's reception for an hour and a half refilling water. And then we stood in line for another hour at Ted's visitation. I was pretty tired, it was a really long day...

Blessings.
