HOT OFF THE PRESS!!

AMBER (Denver sister) IS ENGAGED!!! They are in Hawaii and Chris asked her last night! She said they will plan a spring wedding (next year) and its still up in the air if its destination or going to be in Denver!

Congrats Amber & Chris!!

you know you're an adult...

Hey guys! I apologize (again) that my blogs are so random...truly, we are pretty boring lately, so there isn't much to report (except work stuff...which involved a semi and the side of my patrol car this week...yes, I was in the car, and yes, that pair of undies is toast ;)

Anyways, onto the fun stuff..Cam and I have been quite the movie crtics this week, we have seen the following 3..

The Dilema...don't waste your time, matter of fact, don't even Redbox it (and I love Vince Vaughn, so I was pretty disappointed)

Hall Pass-cute, but not $9.50 cute....either $2 movie it, or Redbox it

The Adjustment Bureau...good! And normally Matt Damon doesn't do it for me, but he is pretty foxy in this one, and Emily Blunt is pretty!

I finished Black Heels to Tractor Wheels....I LOVED it!! I cannot tell you enough to read it!! Soo cute!! I just downloaded Heaven is for Real this week. I am only a few chapters in, and so far it is a quick read. Click on the link to read what it is about..sounds really good. I'll let you know what I think of it when I'm done. And a side note, One for the Money movie release date has been moved UP TO JUNE 3rd!!! BOO-YA!

This is kind of random, but I read in one of my magazines that Rimmel Lash Accelerator mascara works AMAZINGLY. Normally, I am pretty loyal to the MAC counter, but I bought this stuff, and it works good! Its says "117% longer lashes in 30 days" so, we shall see!

Cameron bought a new mower, with a bagger!! So, I got to post our old one on CL tonight! I love that site!

Reference the title of this blog...you know you're adult..when you are PUMPED about your new washer and dryer! We went and bought these babies today (pic taken with my phone..kinda blury) they will be delivered on the 28th! (free delivery? yes please!) However, we REFUSED to pay for the pedestals, so Cam has time between now and the 28th to build boxes for them to sit on, so they aren't on the floor, and I don't have to bend over getting into them. How do 2 people dirty so many clothes?! I am frightened to see what the laundry area looks like when kids come along.

I am super excited for Wednesday, I have a laser hair apt,

and then Laura is taking me to see Little Big Town at Upton in KC, and we are going to go eat the Blue Grotto before!! I hope everyone has a sister, because I sure don't know what I'd do without mine!

We are preparing, dragging our feet, preparing for the 5k on April 2nd....this will be ugly, but either way, we are excited! Im such a weenie running in the cold, so on warm days we run, but if its cold, we elect to just visualize ourselves running..lol

Update...not even kidding, in the time it has taken me to write this post...I have had 2 hits on the mower! Woop-woop!

Next posting...old washer and dryer for sale!

Sunday is my best friend, Ashley's baby girl's birthday party!! Addison is turning 2 (I swear it was just a few months ago I was patiently waiting in the waiting room for BLAKE to get here...so Addison seems just the other day! Speaking of growing up too quick...we were scrapbooking (Ashley, her aunt Shelee, cousin Kayla and I)and I was picking up the kids toys, while miss Addi stood on the stairs yelling "oh no you didn't" lol...can you say she is her mother's child?

Hope you guys have a good week!

must read

Hey guys! I haven't blogged in a while it seems like!! We are kinda boring right now, just working a lot. When we are off, we are trying to finish projects around the house, so that we can start our kitchen remodel SOON! We are both very excited...I will take pics along the way!

We registered for our 4th 5k this week http://www.rocktheparkway.com/ if you wanna join...they are always fun, and rewarding!

Anyways, I wanted to tell you about a book you have to read! It is called Black Heels to Tractor Wheels. A dispatcher at work told me aobut it, and it is such a good love story! AND they are making a movie out of it! So, read it, then lets go see the movie! Don't be one of those that just goes and sees the movie...put a little work into it, to make it all worth it! And, for those of you who are Janet Evanovich FANATICS as I am, is it too soon to start the countdown to July when the FIRST MOVIE COMES OUT!?!? CAN.NOT.WAIT!! A little bummed, because I will be on a canoe trip that weekend, but don't you worry, it will be the first thing I do when we return!

Heading to work now...have a good day!!

"Little Big" SUPRISE!

Laura had asked me a week or so ago to try to get March 9th off work..she had a suprise for me. So, clearly, I did what I had to to make sure that I was off! She e-mailed me today telling me that we are going to The Uptown to see Little Big Town as a suprise b-day present for me! I'm so excited! We had been talking about wanting to go to a fun place for a concert together, and now we get to!

Hope you all are staying warm...I'm getting ready to put on my 10 layers and head to work..but that is ok, it is my Friday, AND I think I get to ride partners with my friend Caitlin at work today!

I will carry you

A while back I was told about a blog that I should start reading, Bring The Rain. I read quite a bit of the blog, and cried a lot too. I later was told that the girl who had the blog, had written a book. It wasn't until our recent loss, and talking about it with a friend, that I decided to buy this book and start reading it. I started the book Saturday evening, and I am over half-way done with it! It is amazing. If you have ever experienced the loss of a child, or even if you have not, you should read this book. Not only does it find joy in such a bad time, it truly makes you think about how Christianity plays a role in your own life. (at least it did to me anyway) I have read some of it to Cameron, and we talk about how we felt in December, and how we will strive to raise our children with faith and values.

Anyway, thats all..just wanted you to check into this book if you have time. It is only a couple hundred pages long, so it won't take long..and you'll be so happy you've read it...and don't forget your kleenex.

Weekly Weigh-In

I lost 7.4lbs this week!!

Cam lost 4.2lbs this week!!

Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of that #, but until I lose another 4lbs something, to get back to my lowest, I won't be jumping up and down. O-well, 18lbs away from my goal!!

Cam and I set a mini-goal this week. Whoever loses the least this week has to walk Frannie every morning for a week. Lazy...we know, but its freezin out there people.

Tuesday

Hi guys, hope you had a good Tuesday...I sure did, it was my day off!

I headed to KC this am for my laser hair treatment (only 6 more to go!) while I was there, I stopped by my beloved...Charming Charlie!! If I'm being honest, I went there for 1 item..slippers like I got Amber for Christmas. Well..little did I know I would be walking into a MEGA sale! They had a TON of stuff marked 50% off, then it was an ADDITIONAL 75% off the already half off stuff! I got that sweater on the left (kinda like a vest, but a tad longer), the fuzzy slippers on the right,6 bracelets, 8 earings, 2 rings and a watch with 7 fun bands (for momma-cita) all for $40! I practically skipped outta there! It was fun buying stuff out of my "norm" because I thought, hey, whats to lose for $1 and $2!

On my way home, I stopped by my friend Melisa's house to see her sweet new baby, and pick up GS cookies I definitley DON'T need! (but secretly excited about) Then it was home to get ready for our date.

Dinner was good, I had a wedge salad and crab cakes, Cam had a pizza he is still talking about (says its the best pizza he ever had) While I was at Melisa's, she had mentioned 3 spoons, a new yogurt place in Larryville.. which is just like Yogurt Inn we found in Vegas, or Yogurt-tini that Laura and I always go to. And I don't use "always" lightly...seriously, every time we are in KC. Anyways, 3 spoons is good! And wouldn't you know it, it was "2 punch Tuesday" so even more the reason to go back to get our punch card filled up ;) Then we stopped by the liquor store to get my new favorite wine, Pacific Rim Sweet Riesling. Thank you Laura for this introduction!

Doesn't Cam look foxy? And my nugget look abnormally large?

Stay tuned for our weekly weight loss update...
