i have an irrational fear of bees


Last weekend my parents were in from Florida and I couldnt believe my excitement when I saw them. I mean i knew i was really pumped about them coming but when i saw them coming up the escalator i was ecstatic. It had been four months. We basically spent the weekend going to every good restaurant in town and shopping a little. Sunday was of course easter, so we went to church and then to lunch. i loved having them here and cant wait to go home in a month and see all the fam and friends!!!!
this is a picture of dad and justin on dad's birthday at the Montgomery Inn, the best ribs ANYWHERE!
Anyway, the weekend wrapped up and the parents left and it was sad to see them go, but it only makes it sweeter when i see them again. Monday came all too quickly and i went off to work. Alex has been having some good days here lately and taking great naps and being so funny. I love watching that little man try and roll around and i love on our walks when he just looks at me and laughs. I love pushing him the stroller too since it has been so awesome outside lately. yesterday we had our last volleyball game of the regular season, playoffs are next week. We are the number one team, oh yea! basically we just have to beat everyone we have already beat and we win! woo hoo! hopefully we can do that. Softball starts in like two weeks and im probably gonna be pretty rusty at that.

ill post again soon! i will try really hard, i promise

i love flowers

i know i know, its about time you are all saying. I have received threatening emails and what not from not posting in a while so i figured before i lose friends or body parts i should update. this will be pretty difficult since I have gone so long. Well the highlights of the past couple of weeks were as follows:

Justin's parents and sister afton came to visit. It was such an awesome time to be able to just sit around the house with them and eat out and laugh and be around people who just love you and that you always have fun with. We didnt do anything eventful but it was just nice to be around them. they are the greatest people. they did get us some cool stuff while up here and that was nice. They always spoil us beyond what we deserve, they are too good to us. We do now have a beautiful porch swing and an awesome grill that justin loves to cook on. Sorry if any of these thoughts are random and dumb, im trying to concentrate over all the Halo2 noise and the guys all in my house. Wednesdays are always nuts for me. Anyway, they left, and we were sad, real sad. however i began to look forward when my parents were going to be here. Which will be in two days!!!! they havnt got to see the new homefront yet so im excited about them being our little guests since its usually the other way around. i like to take care of them.

Ok so the week after that was a blur. however last weekend was a blast!!!! usually justin and i go out with someone or meet up later after we have dinner together or have something to go to, blah blah, but last weekened we had nothing to be at and our friends were out of town so we decided to make the most of it and have lots of dates and fun times. Friday night we went to Lowe's for two hours, it really is fun people, im not retarded. We just like to play and justin likes to plan out home remodeling for the future. afterwards we went to Roadhouse and this was AMAZING! so let me explain something to you about the north. no one has sweet tea, and those that do, dont do it right. However, roadhouse made me smile!!!!! they have such good sweet tea, and amazing fattening rolls! yummmmmmm. good times. when we got home that night we played games and watched some tv shows we have DVRed to catch up. which reminds me, LOST is on and dumb boys have control of my tv, son of a. oh well. So the next day we did take a little break from one another, and i met up with Jen and we went flower shopping. i know, im an old woman. i got some pretty flowers though and then i came home and planted them and they are starting to bloom!!!!!! exciting, i know! anyway, that night Justin and took it easy and watched some king kong, its a long movie, we never watch the whole thing, just parts. its SUCH a good movie. i really liked it. afterward we headed to sleep and woke up the next morning for some church. We left church and I FINALLY got justin to cut his raggedy hair, it was amazing. it looks good, hot, as usual. We headed from the hair cut place to the Reds game to watch some baseball, all while getting a farmers tan, which is no fun and i look stupid. I have been walking with alex in his stroller everyday with a noodle strap shirt on to get rid of the dumb burn, but all its doing is burning that part more and tanning the other. pretty much stinks.

on another note, volleyball has been really fun! i like it more and more each week, which could be because i get better and so now i dont feel like im the girl on the court that's just filling a space but pretty much messes up. I love when we leave and justins all, "you did so good baby, awesome serves." he is the cutest, he tries so hard to make sure i know he's proud of me. i like that. last night jenny had the play of the game!!! she blocked this spike from a big guy when i would have cowered and let him slam it on me! it was awesome! we won, and that always makes it a little better too =)

so that brings me to now, i just got home from dance class. me and jenny take hip hop on wednesdays, its oh so fun and i like to shake the rump you know. i just get sick of running everyday so its nice to get moving in another way =) but im stinky so to the shower i go, maybe a bath with candles, i think i need one of those maybe. however it would be hard to relax the KILLING SPREE yells.

well I hope you enjoyed my updating and emily, dont kill me because im a slacker! please!!! love you all
