    Memorial Day: Part 2

    On Sunday we got up and I made french toast for breakfast. I don’t really like french toast but J loves it so I make it for him and I’ve literally made it the past three mornings.  After breakfast we did some cleaning and got ready for the air show. The air show takes place every year over Memorial Day weekend. I’ve never been but J used to go all the time with his family when he was younger. We decided to go around 1-1:30 and then leave when it ended at 3 and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect time. We got to see all the planes that…

    Happy Memorial Day!

    First off, thanks to all the men and women who are serving and have served our country. We appreciate all you do and the sacrifices you make everyday. I hope that one day soon you all will be able to return home safely to your family and friends. We have had a busy couple of days. I’m going to break up the weekend into a couple of posts because if I didn’t you would be reading for hours. Let me tell you, I’m exhausted and outdoor-ed out. We’ve been outside practically all weekend and can’t take anymore of it, especially with the heat. Ben on the other hand could live…

I’m sure many of you have been anxiously waiting over your computer to learn another random fact about me, well here it is:) Random fact: I am obsessed with: I have seen this musical more times than I can count. I have the soundtrack and know just about every word. It’s embarrassing. Except that I’m not even embarrassed because I LOVE it so much! I don’t know what it is about it, but the music, costumes, characters, it’s all so great and creative. Try watching Wizard of Oz after you’ve seen it. You won’t think of Elphaba, the green witch, ever the same again.…

    Lunch With My Ladies

    Earlier today I went and had lunch with two of my favorite friends, Ali and Sarah who also happen to be twins.  I have known them since high school and I always have such a great time with them no matter what we’re doing. We always seem to laugh and laugh and laugh. Ben also lovingly refers to them as his Aunt’s:) We ate a local bakery that is owned by our other friend’s brother. It was the same bakery that made Ben’s 1 year old birthday cake, which I’ll have to show you in a later post. It was adorable!  Everyone’s food looked so good and I actually tried…
