We did get a 2nd computer finally! so now I really have no excuse for not blogging more It's nice, but it's a netbook so it's somewhat slower than the laptop we have. I haven't tried blogging on it yet so I'm not sure how that will go. All I know is it's about all I can do to get on Facebook and
My husband and I celebrated our 1 year anniversay May 22. It was a fun day of running errands and we had a nice dinner at La Hacienda Ranch where we had our rehearsal dinner. They have such good Mexican food! We even splurged and ordered an appetizer, which is something we don't normally do! No desert though - we went home and ate our leftover wedding cake that my m-i-l and s-i-l so graciously took care of for us this last year. Everyone was worried that the cake wouldn't be good and would taste like cardboard, but that was NOT the case! It was delicious. It tasted as if we just went and picked it up from the bakery ourselves! I could not have been more happy with the way it turned out! Sadly we ended up tossing a little more than half of it because we just couldn't manage to eat it all.
We went down to visit my family Memorial Day weekend and had a really nice time! My sister is expecting her 2nd child (another girl) and we had a shower for her that Saturday. It was really nice seeing friends and family I haven't seen in a while and my sister got a lot of nice things! She is all set and ready for the baby to come which could happen any day now! I'm so excited to meet my new little niece, Sadie! On that Sunday we had a BBQ at my parent's house and my grandparents and aunt and uncle came over. Dad did an awesome job smoking a brisket on the grill as well as some grilled chicken breasts and hot dogs! Of course mom made delicious sides to go with it all - potato salad, baked beans, veggies and dips and some ciabatta bread pizza appetizers that got a little well done but still tasted great! Mom gave us a little scare by passing out after not taking her blood pressure medicine. My sister called the paramedics to come out just to be sure she was ok and after taking her medicine and resting a bit she was feeling fine! Trust me, I've since been on her about taking those meds!! We were able to hit up a local farmer's market that I grew up on before we headed back. We got some yummy brocolli, cauliflower, corn on the cob, tomatoes, cucumbers, blackberries and green onions to enjoy! I love that place and am on the hunt for a farmer's market near us! Monday morning we headed back home to get ready to get back to work!
About a week before we headed down to see my family I was in a minor fender-bender. A lady changed lanes into me. Thankfully we weren't going very fast and we exchanged all information and she even filed a claim with her insurance company right there at the scene. I am now in the process of getting my car repaired and hoping that will be done by this Friday! Her insurance company hasn't been the best to deal with, but I am thankful that the car is being repaired and they are supplying me with a rental in the meantime! (no, I didn't get anything fun like a Dodge Charger we were hoping for - we ended up with a Chevy Impala! It's a nice car, but not too much different from my own. oh well, at least it's transportation)
We are now gearing ourselves up for our vacation! Next Friday we leave bright and early in the morning and will be headed to Florida! We are going to DisneyWorld with hubby's family but he and I are going down a day earlier than everyone else to spend a day touring the Kennedy Space Center. I have never been to Florida so I am super excited!! We will be there a whole week and a day!! Of course we'll be hitting all the major parks at Disney with a few days of rest sprinkled in and even a wonderful couples massage on one of those days!! I'm so looking forward to it! I don't know if I'm more excited to see DisneyWorld or to get the massage!! LOL
I will probably not post anymore until we get back and then I PROMISE I will post pictures!! Thanks for sticking with me! I'll say hi to Mickey for you!!! :-)
