Cake, Ice Cream, Cotton Candy Oh My

Last weekend was down right exhausting. Friday night we had some cake over at my parents house to celebrate my dad's birthday. Afterwards, we made some homemade Ben & Jerry's mint chocolate chip ice cream.


Saturday we woke up early for T-Ball and then went to a carnival at the apartments just down the street. We ate way too much food but had a great time. Afterwards, we went to see Despicable Me. It was super cute and very entertaining for both adults and kids.


Sunday we went to Denver. First church, then a birthday for Travis at the Bently's house. That evening we were chilled on the couch. It was an uneventful and relaxing evening.

Busy Busy Weekend

Friday we went out to see a movie and saw "Inception". It was nice to take a break from chores and relax a little before taking on more.

Saturday was busy. Woke up early for T-Ball games at 8 a.m. Then we headed up to Denver for a BBQ cooking class. The food was excellent and definitely inspiring for both John and I. We both ate way too much but it was calories well spent. After the class, we tried to waste some time before going to the Colorado Rapids game. It was SO hot. I heard later the temperature was 101. No wonder we felt ill. We headed over to the stadium around 5:30 p.m. We bought some cute Rapids gear for us and the boys so next time we can look like official fans. The game was alright. Definitely not the most entertaining game I've ever seen. The Rapids tied the Kansas City Wizards 1 to 1.

Sunday we woke feeling hungover from having too much fun the day before, but somehow we managed to push through. Went to church, ate lunch, went to the Arc, moved furniture from my house to John's. Walked a treadmill up the street (with a dolly) and delivered it to my parents. I have to say it feels good to make progress on our long list of things to do and get some much needed exercise. Afterwards, we ate dinner with my parents and watched the "Book of Eli". It's a little violent but a very good movie with a great message. I definitely recommend it.

The days ahead will be much like this weekend. Everyday we move a little closer to completing our goal of combining our homes.

Welcome!

Since recently getting engaged, I figured it might be a great time to start another blog. John and I are avidly working to consolidate both of our houses. We met with a realtor on Tuesday and plan to put my house on the market around August 1. Since that a little less than 2 weeks away, we've been pretty busy. It's a little stressful but with John's excellent organizational skills, I've managed to remain fairly calm. We have a lot to do and but breaking it up in small tasks makes it manageable.

The boys were camping in South Dakota this week with their mom. It's been a couple weeks since I've seen them. I'm excited to see them tomorrow at T-Ball. I hope they had a wonderful time. I've missed them.


Anyway, check back periodically. I'll do my best to post pics and keep everyone updated. A lot has happened over the past few years. I'm happy to say I'm excited about where my future is going and what God has in store for me and the Norrie boys!
