Weekend

This past weekend was a lot of fun. Tim and I got to spend a lot of time together, and we really enjoyed our time selves.

Friday night: We went and did a bit of shopping, Tim got an new cell phone and I picked up a few things from the Loft (all if witch was on sale). I have been trying to do better, about shopping. We then tried out the new Red Robin. It was pretty good, I don't think Tim was that impressed with it but I liked it. I had a guacamole bacon cheese burger. It was really good. Then we went and played Put-put golf at Funland. It was a really good time, it had been a while since Tim and I had gone on a date so to say.

Saturday: We got up early and went to a farm that is about 10 miles away from our house and picked blackberries. The weather was great and we had a lot of fun. After that we went to Ashland and had lunch at Panera. One of my favorite places to eat. We then went and picked up a big two person water raft so we could float around on the lake by our house. So we went home and jumped into our swim suits and headed for the lake. We spent about 2 hours floating around and enjoying the sun.

Sunday: I tried to make a blackberry cobbler.....I had enough to make a double batch so that is what I did. But I guess the dish I cooked it in was a bit too small so it ended up over flowing. But I thought that might happen so I was smart enough to put the dish on a cook sheet when I placed in the oven. Boy that would have been a big mess to clean up. Although it is not the nicest looking cobbler it does taste good. We spent the rest of our day at Sadie's birthday party. She just turned 3. We had a lot of fun, and it was really nice to see everyone.

Back on the Wagon

This summer has been long, with lots of ups an downs. The biggest down is that Tim and I have both put on a few pounds. There is nothing worse then not fitting in to your favorite pair of pants. So Tim and I are back on the eating better and working out more wagon. Eating better really is not that hard. Tim and I do enjoy eating fresh food and I love to cook. But we both love sweets I think that is my true down fall. We also are going to make it a point to go to the gym. I mean we have this great gym and we have been really bad about not using it. They have all kinds of classes. So wish us luck in are goals to trim down....


After pictures haha.....

Not to much going on

Man I feel bad that I haven't blogged that much the past few weeks, but other then Tim coming home there hasn't been much to talk about. The dogs are doing well and boy where they happy to see Tim on Saturday as was I. It looks like Tim will be doing some more traveling.... I don't think he is to happy about that but what can you do. Shannon is doing well she has applied for a full time job with the Department of Veterans Affairs and is pretty sure she will be selected for the position. Also Tim and I are just trying to get the house together. We are having a small get together for his birthday.... that reminds that I need to order him a cake. Well I just thought I would give everyone a brief up date on what is going on with us.

Things I love # 5

I just had to put this picture up haha....

Thanks Erin

Ok I have been Tagged by Erin.... although she tagged 3 0r 4 people at once, I don't know if you can do that I might have to check the rules haha.

So know I have to tell 10 things about my self that most people don't know. I think this will be hard because I am a pretty open person anyway, but I will try.

1. I am sure this will not be news to my best friends or Tim but lately I have been obsessed with guacamole. I don't know why but I love it and I make it all the time.

2. Sometimes patriotic songs or events make me cry, and I feel embarrassed.

3. I love it when people leave me comments on my blog... it makes me feel special haha.

4. If I won the lottery I would share most of my money with my family and friends. I mean really how mush fun would it be to be rich if you didn't have anyone to hang out with.

5. I am really really bad at spelling. I live and die by spell check.

6. I haven't talked to my Dad in over 4 years and I haven't talked to my Mom in over 2 months.

7. I talk to Tim about 3 times a day while he is over in England and if I didn't my day wouldn't be complete.

8. I love going on Myspace and looking at everyone pages that I went to high school with.

9. I love love love to sign in the car, ask Tim I am sure sometimes he wished he could just enjoy the song on the radio with out my background vocals haha.

10. I love scratch off lottery tickets but I will not go in the store and buy them myself. I always ask Tim to buy them.

OK that is it that is all the info you are getting, so now I have to pick someone to tag.

Scott you are it!

It's Over....

I finished reading Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows last night. It was a bitter sweet. I really enjoyed the book but I am sad to know that it was the last one. I know I am such a dork, but now the only thing I have to look forward to are the movies..... Now I will have to find something new to read haha. Anyone got any good ideas? I really like reading Fiction

Tim is coming Home

Ok so I have started a count down he will be home 9 days and I cannot wait. We are think about planning a BBQ on the 25Th for his birthday. I told his since we are going to have people over for a BBQ that I would get him a new grill for his Birthday. It seems like a good gift to me but I might still have to get him something else. I am really looking forward to having Tim home. Life is just better when he is around. I know I shouldn't be so mushy haha. Anyone have any cool ideas for the BBQ?
