Life As I Know It

Holy crow it's been a long time since I've posted! Yikes! Ok, let's see what's happened since the 6th. Jim and I celebrated our 8th anniversary on the 9th. That was fabulous. We didn't really do anything because the Wings played game 6 of playoffs that night. The Pens pulled out a win and pushed it to game 7. Unfortunately we lost. I can't believe it. It was absolutely devastating. The Wings were the better team but simply didn't show up in those last two games and the Penguins won. Jim had to work 2nd shift that night so I watched the game alone. Afterwards I was so devastated I met some friends at a bar and tried to forget all about it. That probably would've worked...if the big screens didn't have ESPN on...and if ESPN didn't keep replaying Sidney Crosby with the cup. UGH.

My birthday was this past weekend. Which also means, my blog had a birthday! I believe I started my blog June 19, 2008 so it's one year old! Yay! My birthday was great but I'm really just looking forward to our vacation to Michigan, so that kind of overshadowed my birthday. :) 52 days and counting.

We've done some landscape work on the house. Put black mulch in the front and back and also planted a lilac shrub in the front. Can't wait until that blooms next year!

Ok, so the real reason I posted...Bentley loves to look out the skinny window next to our front door. Well we were watching tv and he was growling and barking while looking at that window tonight. We figured it was the neighborhood cat that comes out at night. Jim finally went to the window and guess who visited us tonight? Kermit! The pictures look horrible because I was trying to do them through the glass on the door, but hopefully you can tell it's a frog. He was sitting on the top porch step facing the door. Bentley wanted to go play with him I guess. haha.

Too funny! It seems like I should have more to write since it's been 23 days since my last blog! But this is all I can think of for now! Oh! For Jim's anniversary gift I bought him a digital photo frame. And I scrapped as many pictures of us (or of things important, meaningful, etc. in our relationship) that I could possibly find into brag-book size (which is a normal picture size---4x6) and loaded them onto the photo frame. And a disclaimer here: Not everything meaningful, important, etc. is depicted in these pages. It would be impossible for me to scrap every single thing that is meaningful or important in our lives. So the ones that I did are of course just a smidgen of the amazing things in our lives. Disclaimer Ended. :) It turned out so cute! There's a lot of scrapbook pages though so I'll have to share some with you for the next few posts. I just love how they turned out! I guess I'm going to have to get a frame for myself so I can show them off at work too!! :)

And FYI: You can click on the pictures to make them bigger...on the blog they come out kinda small so it's hard to read them sometimes. :) Enjoy!
