The Fluffy Kittens!

Haha, Megan "stretching"

Amanda in the outfield looking a little nervous.

Goody hosts a wiffleball tourney every year, so this year the girls wanted in! A whole day of eating and drinking, you just can't go wrong. Plus all of the proceeds went to Relay for Life. Newbie, Jess, Amanda, Meg, and I formed a wiffleball team and we named our team the Fluffy Kittens. I love the name because it's so girly and we were the only girl team in the tournament. We were the most "losingest" team, but we felt we were improving towards the end. I think next year we'll having a good chance to win a game.

After the game, we decided to have a wife race. Even though Hainley and Goody aren't married, Goody carried Hainley on his back for the race. Everything started pretty well, Shawn and I were in first. then everything went completely wrong. Not far into the race, my legs gave out and were just left dangling there and then my arms got tired and we went down! Megan and Neal weren't far behind us.

All in all, we had a fun day spent with our friends. Looking forward to next year's tourney.

Rock Out

Shawn's parents visited us this past Friday. John needed to measure our cabinets because we would like to put additional cabinetry in the kitchen. For dinner, we all went to the Farmer's Wife (a local diner), I got stuffed shells. Anyway, his parents painted the old rocker that his mom used to rock Shawn in when he was a baby and gave it to us. It goes perfectly with our room. I would eventually like to get a chairpad or small pillow for the chair that matches our duvet.

Phew!

Hopefully I'm all caught up now with my blogs. I'll try not to do that again because trying to remember what I did this morning let alone two weeks ago is bad enough.

Practice Run

Sooo...we dog-sat for friends this past weekend. Shawn thought it would be a good idea to practice before we got a dog of our own. I wonder if we could do that with a baby when the time comes? We would probably never have kids then, ha. Shawn brought Sammie home on Thursday after work and we watched her until Saturday evening. She was such a good dog. We took her for walks, played catch, and just hung out. If we get a dog it won't be until January '09. Right now we're thinking about getting a German Shepherd.

Wedding Bells!!!

Jodie and Dan got married!! I was so excited for their wedding and Shawn was able to attend! We made good time on Friday and arrived at the church a half hour early, awesome! Jodie looked beautiful and the ceremony was just perfect. Amanda also looked great that day. The reception was gorgeous and we had a lot of fun. Unfortunately the guys left early, but that just left us girls to dance the night away, and dance we did. Megan and I fell asleep early, and the next morning we visited Dan's parent's home for brunch. We got to see Jodie again before she and Dan leave for their honeymoon. I can't wait to see them again!

What a bright idea!

Shawn and I bought new lamps at Wal-mart the other day. Yes, Shawn agreed to buy new lamps to replace his Eagle lamp. We could've bought them in black to match the furniture, but I liked the silver. The design of the lamp matches the curtain rod almost perfectly! We think it goes well together, even if they are two different colors.

Downtown ME

Saturday afternoon Jodie gave us a tour of Downtown Portland. We visited some souvenir shops and I found my newest t-shirt! Portland is such a cute town with brick buildings and cobblestone roads. I would definitely want to visit again, when I have more than 24 hours to visit!
