— Here’s What I Have to Say —

I sent in my first Caclulus assignment a little while back and received it graded in the mail shortly after. I have had it hanging on my fridge since I got it back. Here's proof. (It's the blue paper on the right door.) I had to hang it up on the fridge because I got...

One of my very best friends is celebrating her birthday (29 and holding!) today. Kelly works with Chuck so I get to see her for lunch at least 3 times a week. Today we went to Cosi for lunch and Kelly got the smores. We have been eyeing these since we started doing lunches at...

Since I am behind with what is actually happening at the house right now, I thought I would catch up a little more! So here's another day of the house next door. They added more walls in the house. And some of the boards which will be the first floor ceiling and the second floor's...

I have been scolded for being behind on my posts about the house next door. So here's another update (which is still a couple days behind)! As you can see, they started putting up walls on the first floor. The first two pictures were taken from our bedroom closet window. That's the only window in...

I was browsing some of my old photos and came across this one. This was from a Twin's game a couple years ago. We went with Katie and her hubby Chris. I just thought it was a cute picture of us and wanted to share.

I'm a little behind on my posts about the house next door. They are flying! These are few of the next step of the process since I last posted. They covered the basement. This will be the main floor's floor. It was fun to walk around and try to figure out where things would go....

my wonderful fritnd Katie got me the nicest house warming gift! She let me pick something from UpperCase Living. If you don't know what that is…you should check it out! I think they are so cool! This is what I picked out. This exact thing isn't in the catalog, but I think the phrase was....

I am usually not a huge fan of anything that comes in a healthier form than the original, but I thought I would give these a try. At our Friday Treat Day at work, someone brought these in and I gave them a try. I am pleased to say they are actually quite good! I...

This is how I spent my evening! I worked on my calculus, had a drink, watched the gorgeous clouds, all while sitting on my lovely porch! How wonderful!

We went to Houlihan's last week for dinner and they had the most hilarious thing in their menus. Horriblescopes! I was looking at their website today and saw that they have them on there as well. I definitely recommend swinging by and checking it out. The link to get there is HERE. When you get...

Time for a house building update! (I tried to put a couple days of non-Next Door posts in here!) After they filled in the dirt around the house, the next step was to start building. And that's just what they did. These pictures show them framing in the basement. I was fascinated to see that...

I am a huge fan of Goldfish! I could eat a whole bag of prezel, cheese or parmesan goldfish in a sitting without a problem! My coworker got some of these: They are goldfish graham crackers. I know they aren't much different than just getting a package of graham crackers, but they are WAY more...

We are getting all settled in the new house. Most everything is put away and we are to a point where we don't feel like we HAVE to do anything around the house. We can just do it as we feel like it. That's really nice! And since we had our first guests staying with...

The other morning when I woke up there was a gorgeous sunrise accompanied by lots of fog. I had to take a couple pictures because I thought it looked so pretty!

We finally have grass! We got it last Friday. I must say, it looks lovely. It's so nice to see such a nice big, flat lot! I'll get around to posting a picture soon! I just wanted to share my happiness! I didn't get a chance to write this weekend because we had grandparents in...

The other day they filled in around the house the dug out next door. They used up that big pile of dirt in the back (or most of it at least) and are all set for the next step!

My youngest brother, Charlie, plays many sports. This time of the year it's baseball. He also plays basketball and tried football this year. It's so fun to watch him play. These are a couple pictures from his game the other night. I didn't have my camera with me since we decided to go to the...

Woo hoo! They are installing the sprinklers today. And there's a possibility of grass tomorrow! This makes one very happy Andi!

Don't get me wrong, I love when it rains. I love a good thunderstorm. But this week, the rain has delayed my sprinklers and therefore, my grass! They were going to install the sprinklers today. But since it was so wet they pushed it back until Thursday. I hope that means I will get grass...
