It's been awhile

I haven't blogged in a while and I feel bad about it. Sorry to the hundreds of fans I have out there. haha. I'll try to keep it more updated as best as I can.

Anyway, about 2 weeks ago Shawn and I dog sat for a woman I work with. She has a pit bull mix named Maddie. Maddie was such a good dog and it took her only about 5 minutes to tear that toy apart.

The friday of that same weekend my mom and I went shopping at the Hershey outlets. We got some great deals and I started Christmas shopping already! I also bought Shawn's birthday gift, see for yourself:

I gave him an Eagles jersey!! And that weekend they actually won!

Next to come...update on the new kitchen cabinetry!

There's a first for everything

Shawn has drill this weekend so I'm just chilling today. I thought since the rained has cleared for a little while, I would cut the lawn. This was the first time ever I was going to cut our lawn with our riding mower. I actually had a pretty good time. It was nice to see the lawn freshly cut, it made the house look nice. Anyway, here's a picture of my handywork.

Looks nice, huh? Well look a little closer.

A little closer yet...

Do you see it?

Here it is! I know it's gross. Well, while I was cutting the lawn, occasionally the mower would make a different sound then spew out a huge hunk of cut grass. That's what I though happened when I was cutting the front lawn, but instead I chopped a mommy rabbit in half. I started to tear up especially when I saw her baby run away. I can't believe I didn't see them sitting there, I feel horrible! I had to leave it on the front yard because I didn't want to touch it.

There were some pieces of fur in the grass.

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!
