TN

Sorry it's been awhile since an update but I just wanted to give a little report on our time in TN. We had a great time with J's family and friends! When we go we're able to see pretty much everyone, which I love! We got to spend lots of time with his parents, Heather and Patrick and precious Anna. I think each time I see Anna she is even more fun to be around, it's crazy how quickly she grows and I was so amazed by how smart she is. That girl could talk to you for hours and has a better memory than I do. It's always good to see family, even if it is for a small amount of time. John, of course, was able to ski on the lake and eat Big Ed's pizza (both a MUST when we are in TN). We also got to spend some quality time with both the Kelly and Moon sides of the family, so great to see ya'll! Thanks again for everything, we had a wonderful time!

Today marks 2 years that I've been married to the man I love. Yay!

update

Hello all, sorry I've been slacking on blogging lately. This past week we've been bustling around the house...it was a big mix of cooking, paperwork, research, staining the fence, packing and end of the fiscal year junk. Needless to say I felt like we were running around like chickens with no heads :( But now we are here in lovely TN!! Yay! We made it! And for all of those who are wondering...we left at 5:00 p.m. and arrived at 3:00 a.m. Oh the joys of driving and having a dog that is a slobber monster in the back seat. But the most important thing is that we're here with family and looking forward to a great 4th of July weekend! Yippee! Bring on the outdoors, sun and no work! Love ya'll! Happy 4th of July!

ugh

With our 2 year anniversary rapidly approaching I'm peeling through hundreds (well maybe not that many) of websites in search of a creative gift idea. And guess what I found...crap...well not literally but it might as well be. So the traditional 2 year gift is cotton...one would think that would be easy, but its not. Since hubs is a cynic by nature and is not a huge fan of lovey dovey stuff its pretty hard to find an anniversary gift. The ideas that seem to be most common on these websites are: afghans with your wedding picture on it (really, ugh), bathrobes with your initials monogrammed on them, Egyptian cotton sheets, personalized pillow cases labeled "his and hers", and other cheesy sweatshirts and t-shirts. Seriously...the wedding anniversary market for male recipients could not be more limited. I can literally picture John's eyes rolling with every "suggestion" from these websites. If anyone has a good idea please email me....I'm begging you.

way to go NC!

handle with care

I read/listened to this book a few weeks ago and I'll have to say it was my least favorite Jodi Picoult book so far. Seriously, it was a tough read (as in a little heart wrenching) and then the ending wasn't so great. I'm just saying I don't really recommend it...
