One Year

Caleb and I celebrated our one year anniversary yesterday. We didn't have any big plans because he had a bachelor party for one of his friends all weekend and I was at the lake with some friends as well. We took about a 4 hour nap and ate dinner and a year old cake then went for a bike ride and watched a movie! The cake wasn't as bad as I was expecting however, neither of us finished our slice and we threw out the rest. :)

Our year old cake!

Our First Insurance Claim

Sorry for not posting in awhile, we have been sooo busy lately! We have 5 weddings this summer, 1 in September & 1 in November! We had our first one this weekend. My roommate from college, Casey, got married over the weekend. Here are some pics from the weekend.

Friday before we left, I was driving home from my last day of summer school when someone turned out in front of me. He, of course, does not seem to have insurance so we are currently dealing with that. I of course had just spent 2 HOURS last weekend cleaning/sweeping her out (for the first time in the 3+ years I have driven her). Here is the damaged Sally Sunfire:

Not happy.

We haven't heard what the plan of action is, but looking at the pics and what I think she's worth I'm guessing she's totaled.

Finally, today we went out to Walton for a bit to visit with our dads since we weren't around this weekend. We took Riley swimming for a little at Caleb's mom and dads pool. He had a great time! I have a video of him playing in the pool that I'll upload later, but its taking 18 years to do it. Check back soon :)

Busy, Busy, Busy!

We have been very busy lately. Last weekend, I drove to New Albany, IN Friday night for a friend's shower. Drove back Saturday and cleaned the new apartment while Caleb was in a bachelor party in Indy. Moved Sunday & Monday. Worked Tuesday. Drove to Illinois to meet baby Rease Tuesday night & Wednesday. Worked Thursday & Friday. Caleb graduated Saturday...Today we don't have much to do. We are the library right now because we don't have our Cable and/or Internet hooked up. We are going to survive the summer without it to save some money. The library is right next door so we can come here to use the internet when we need to.

Anyway~ I have tons of pictures of the last week, but am not even going to try to upload any from here at the library. BUT here is one picture of me & Baby Rease. It's not a great one of her, but it's all I could get to easily here. She's beautiful. I cried practically all day Thursday at work while showing my friends her pictures. Oh well~only 9 more days of school then SUMMER VACATION! I'll be heading to Illinois a lot I'm sure :)

Admiring my new niece, Rease!

P.S. Abrah got this new straightener for Mother's Day & we tried it out on my hair. It worked! So...I went and bought my own :)

Get ready to Read!

It's been awhile since I've posted, so I'll update you on some things we've been doing lately. We are preparing to move so I've been busy packing up our apartment. How we accumulated so much stuff over the last 10 months is amazing to me. We are hoping to move this coming weekend, but I have yet to hear from our new apartment complex on whether or not the apartment will be ready then or not. Our current apartment is currently a mess as you can see from the pictures...

I have quite a bit of the packing done. That means I can't cook this week b/c I have no dishes :( Darn...we will have to hit up all of our favorite Tippecanoe County restaurants before leaving town.

In other news...Caleb will be finishing up his last semester this week! He has two finals: one Friday & one Saturday and then he is officially finished! He is more than ready to be out of college. He is, as I type, packing up all of his supplies in studio to put into storage.

Last weekend we celebrated our last Grand Prix. Caleb couldn't attend breakfast club because he was working on installing a green roof on one of Purdue's buildings, but our friends Brandon & Kathryn over for the weekend. Here is Kat & I in our costumes:

Other than that, Josh, Abrah, & Riley came to visit last Friday night. We went to dinner & the mall. I forgot to bring my camera but here is a picture of Riley and I at Easter.

Finally, yesterday Megan (my bro's gf) had her senior prom on Purdue's campus so they called when they got to town and we met them at the Union to see them. They looked awesome! Actually, I saw another girl with Meg's dress on right before I saw them (don't worry she was from Attica not Carroll...they were also having there prom at the Union). I was worried for Megan for a minute that another girl would have her dress at her own prom! Here is a picture of them..I'm semi in love with Megan's dress...I wish Caleb and I would have worn something like this to our prom :) I could have NEVER convinced Caleb of wearing those shoes to prom though. So way to go, Woody!

Okay, that's one LONG post! Don't expect another for awhile! Probably not til a) we are all moved and settled and I have pictures of the new place b) Caleb graduates or c) MY SISTER CHELSEA DECIDES TO HAVE HER BABY! Whichever comes first :)

HEY BETHANY!

Okay all you Twilight fans out there...

Did any of you know about this?

Update: Book Reviews

So in my earlier post Book Reviews, I said that I was working on reading Multiple Blessings. I finished the book a few days ago and thought I would give my critique.

Multiple Blessings Review: C+

It was a quick read. Exactly what I expected from it. Takes you through their story up until about the time they get the TV show Jon & Kate +8. Worth reading but don't expect too much from it.

Book Reviews

This week is my Spring Break off of school. Doesn't feel much like spring though. Last week I rented the movie Twilight. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to read the books. There are four of them in the series. The movie is about the first one. I started the first one last Tuesday and finished the last of the series yesterday. I figured it up: that's 2442 pages in one week! Too bad I actually had to work 4 of those "reading days;" I would have finished them up much quicker! I teased last night that I probably had enough time to read them another time through before going back to work Monday. (Caleb did not like that idea). I chose instead to watch the movie again and start my next book. I am now reading Multiple Blessings by Jon & Kate Gosselin. I'll give you my review of that next post!

Twilight Series Review: A+

Multiple Blessings Review: Check Back Soon

I also recently started Tony Dungy's second book Uncommon. It was a gift from my mother-in-law for my birthday. I loved Tony's first book, but was not highly impressed with this one. I read the first part of it and decided I needed to pick it up again at a later time. I loaned it to another teacher over break so maybe when she returns it I'll begin it again.
