I'm Back!!!!

Gosh, I practically forgot about my blog....

Well I am back. I decided that I need to use this place to get stuff off my chest. Let's see, recently I got the chance to visit my best friend in Wisconsin. We went to Chicago for the weekend and had a great time. I even scrapped for the first time in a LONG time. I lost my mojo for scrapping (for most things in my life really). But seeing her gave me the boost I needed to get back on track. So I plan on doing a lot more in the near future.

That's all for now. Stay tuned...

District 9

OK so I had some movie tickets that we had to use before September 1st. The problem was that there were no movies we HAD to see. So we looked online, and decided the one we would see was District 9. Now, I didn't hate the movie, but it was not my kind of movie. It was filmed like a documentary, so some action scenes made me sick/dizzy. And it was a very bloody movie, so that kinda turned me off, too. But the story line was actually interesting. So I wouldn't really give it a thumbs-down either....

I am a slacker!

I know, I know, I haven't posted in a month. I am horrible! I just want to catch everyone up on Aaron. In case some of you don't know, he has finally moved home. That has been such a load off my mind! And things are going pretty well so far. He has separated himself from his most destructive friend (Yippee!) which was the biggest problem between us. Things are slowly getting back to normal.

He has also enrolled in GED classes, which made me really happy! You just can't get anywhere in life without at LEAST a high school education, and now he is getting that... whew! He had his first class today and things went well.

Lastly, he is desperately looking for a job. Really... trying... which makes me happy. But he just cannot find one. He came close the other day, and didn't get it. He was devastated. I pray that God sees it necessary to allow him to find one soon.

Well that is it for now. I promise to blog more....

It's My Turn!!

That's right, now I get to go see my best friend at HER house! I am so excited!! We leave tonight.. unfortunately both her and her DH are sick with strep. But we aren't going to let that get us down! Besides, DH and I are both so ready for a vacation, and relaxation time :o) More to come...

When BFF came to town!

My best friend came in town last weekend... yea baby! We had a blast!! We went to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on Friday. What an AWESOME MOVIE!!! Worth every penny, and I want to see it again! Of course before that we went to our favorite restaurant, El-Maguey! That was awesome!

Saturday we had a purse party, and after that we went to Cheesecake Factory.. holy cow that is a great place.

Sunday we went to church and then to Buffalo Wild Wings with Kevin and we played Trivia and ate wings and hung out.

Monday we hung out and scrapped, and then she had to leave :o( But we got a great pic of the two of us....

Time to catch up!

I know, I haven't blogged in a while... so here is a post to catch up!

June 26th: We went to the Cardinal game with Kevin's work. It was HOT, and it was also scary! We were sitting in the exact section where a guy fell from the balcony head first onto the seats below... he was OK but they said it was from the heat, and he passed out and just went straight over the edge. He was only 3 rows in front of us. It kinda put a damper on the game, and we lost on top of it.

July 4: We attempted to go to the fireworks, but it poured down rain so they cancelled it and postponed them to July 5. Of course then we forgot and missed them.. oh well.

July 8: It was my and Kevin's 9th anniversary. We went to 54th Street for dinner and had a good time. We decided we were going to do something big for next year's anniversary since it is our 10th.. milestone! I can't believe I put up with him for that long (hehe, really he is great)!

And the biggest news... Aaron has returned home. Yes, I am the most thankful mother in the world right now! Not only did he come home from Texas, he is HOME. And I was worried about the attitudes that might be flying when he returned, but he has been really pleasant. I think he might have learned his lesson. At least I hope so! He has signed up for GED classes, and he is looking for work. I am a happy camper...
