My weekend in short.

Friday-
Had two of these installed (Dad, my car rides MUCH better now :)


My coworker took me here while the tires were being installed


For whatever reason I thought it was a good idea to nibble on 2 of these...(buffalo wings)


Only to barely make it home to do this...I experienced my first case of food poisoning. Thank you to the lady running the sample stand, you successfully ruined my night! (this picture is for Marin, she loves to send me those dang cat pictures haha)


Watched this on Saturday night wishing I was meeting my lover at the top of the Empire State Building...


Only to get a phone call from Justin on Sunday while he stood at the top of this...


Got to see New Moon with Hannah - yes, it was better than Twilight for those who care


Followed by a delicious dinner!

computer graveyard

Oh how I wish this post were an exaggeration, but this is hardcore truth. We have a computer graveyard in our basement and yesterday we added to it. The little hp decided to die, thats right, I woke up and it was no more. This computer has ALL of our Europe pictures on it (lets pray we have no issues getting the pictures off the hard drive!)

Some computers are old, some are broken (oops), 1 has even come down with a virus... you get the picture.

A gift from Microsoft to Justin- it now houses about 500,000,000 viruses

Poor macbook- I dropped it and broke it. Talk about a SAD day!

Justin used and abused this computer until it became too slow to use

Justin's very first "good"laptop

The following computers are the only 2 left standing...

5 years old and still kicking. We graduated high school together and worked on every homework assignment in college. Thank you for being the only one to stand by my side through it all

Yay for work computers (****ADDENDUM- A mere 2 hours after I posted this, this computer got the blue screen of death- talk about irony!!!!! We have serious computer issues)

When the old imac dies, I will run to the apple store, credit card in hand to buy this beauty. Perfection.

I realize this is a ridiculous post but lets be honest, we all use computers everyday and they are a huge part of our lives. They connect us to family, friends, bank accounts, stores, information of every sort etc etc. What would we do without them!?

house updates

Like I said in my previous post - this house is a constant work in progress! Just when I think we have something semi-figured out we,(mainly I), decide to go and change it. Ha, I guess that keeps life interesting.

Nothing is near perfect, but each little update makes me love this house even more.

New bookcase in the office. Justin found this off craigslist and its the perfect addition to this room. Shelley found these awesome lamps for us at Target and I bought matching shades there, too. All in all, each lamp cost $19.00 bucks- what a deal!

Mirror to go above bookcase- loooove.

Desk is a giant mess but again, I'm making progess (my theme these days)

I ripped out a GIANT bush all by myself! It might look crappy all winter, but I can promise it looks better than the monstrosity that lived there before.

3 hours of hard work gave us all these bags of leaves and sticks.

Our yard. with NO LEAVES!!

Still missing a blue curtain- I have to find a Kmart that carries it.

A little reminder of what once was- (see the nasty curtains?! blaaaah)


New curtains in the living room - a VAST improvement from before- there was some weirdo curtain contraption that I was more than happy to see go.

After 1 year I FINALLY found a nightstand for Justin's side of the bed! He could really care less but I am quite pleased, haha.

brecky boy

Breck's favorite pastime- taking anything and everything from our bedroom and running with it! The best part- he acts as if we have no idea he is doing it. (Ignore the weirdo furniture placement/general mess- our place is a constantly under construction!)

my first night at puppy school

On Monday night my mom and dad took me to this new and exciting place called puppy socialization class. There were so many new smells and lots of dogs I have never seen before. All my new puppy friends have been going to school for a couple weeks now so I was kind of nervous to play with them. Mom and dad started using this clicker thing and every time they click it, I get a treat! AWESOME! The teacher gives her students hot dog treats and I really love them. I told mom she needs to take better pictures next week. I weighed myself tonight and I am 21 lbs already! yikes! I need to go chew on shoes, eat leaves and dig in the backyard. I'll be back next week with more updates.

Here's a shout out to my mom's friend Carrie- (mom must have been really bored at work today?!)
