hellllooo, im a car. back seat, trunk space

im not really in the blogging mood, but the guys are playing halo and so there is really no point in trying to go to sleep when its this loud in our house, so i guess ill just write. nothing big has really been happening, thats why i say im not in the blogging mood, since most the stuff in my head is pretty boring.

last weekend we did go to indy to see justins family and some friends who were in town. our friend morgan was up from florida to go to her cousins graduation so we were able to see her. i love her! she is so fun and so sweet. our friend julie also lives in indiana and she was with us too a lot of the weekend. another coincidence was that justins dad and uncle and granddad come to the indy 500 every year and it was this past weekend so we saw them too! i love floyd! he is the coolest father in law. he makes me laugh so hard that i cry! i love doing that. he got me a really cool shell too in san francisco that is now on display in our house. thanks daddy flo! anyway, the way that man tells a story makes a simple nothing story become a huge hilarious event.

ok so, continuing on. we stayed with justins uncle and cousins the first two nights and then his grandma the next night. when we got there we actually went straight to the movie theater to see X Men, which was soooo good. i really liked it. the rest of the weekend was pretty low key, just spending some good quality time with those we dont get to see too often. Green Castle is the actual town that justins grandma lives in and its such a small town. all the small town stuff you know. we ate at pizza king saturday night, which basically holds about 15 people and the pizza is sorta weird, but really good. the next morning we went to eat breakfast at the Monon, which I thought evveryone was saying the Mornin' and it was a breakfast place. anyway, we got out of there pretty early and headed back home to get some stuff done and then have memorial day events with our friends here. we spent the night at brian and haleys eating way to much and playing some Corn hole.

tonight i had to go up to church to practice for VBS/KidsStuf. I am playing a cheerleader in a role. I was typecasted, can you believe it. haha. well i have to get in that old uniform! im a little nervous about that. justins excited though, he said to me in a very strange voice, i never dated a cheerleader before. haha. he is a silly man. anyway, i have to memorize lines and act and all and im pretty sure i stink as an actress. i spent the rest of the night at barnes and noble with jenny escaping the craziness that is my home right now. but now im am tired and am going to try and sleep anyway. have a good rest of the week everyone!

oh yea, justins birthday is on saturday! so if you want make him feel special that'll be cool.

oh, and the title, Dane Cook, comedian, funny

ruco and kristi are married!

i am going to try to put into the words how awesome last weekend was. it was the most fun i have had in quite some time. we stopped in chattanooga to pick up my little danielle, then the next morning continued to pcola. the weekend was so jam packed with awesome times. first of all it was sooo good to see tara. i havnt seen her since christmas and i love her so much. she is a one of a kind friend and i love getting to hang out with her, i cherish her so much. i of course was able to see everyone else as well but i was home two weeks before this so i was slightly more psychotic when i saw those that i had forgotten what they looked like cuz it had been so long! anyway, thursday night was toris bachelorette party. We ate at Zea's and then headed to her hotel room on the beach to hang out in the hot tub and talk about the sex that was to be had in a couple days! haha! yea! well, the next day was the bridal luncheon at my parents house. we ate, swam, and layed out. i just really enjoy my girl time when im home. i dont get a lot of just girls time with a bunch of awesome ladies up here so i just love it! well after the pool party, me and justin ran some wedding errands for kristi and then we got ready for the rehearsal. we practiced for the little wedding and then all went to dinner. ruco and kristi are two of the greatest people, with the greatest families. it was so sweet hearing all the good things people had to say about them. well that night a few of us stayed with kristi at the hotel. all the groomsman went out for the bachelor party so my little husband was busy. the next morning i woke up a little early. the sun was rising over the beach and it was hot pink. it was so beautiful. i forgot how breathtaking the beach can be. i fell back asleep for a little while and then woke up to kristi's excitement. she was standing on the balcony watching all the dolphins swim. there were so many of them and they were so close to the shore. it was awesome. me and kristi headed to our houses to get everything together for the day. we later all met at kristi and ruco's new apartment and got our hair done, put our makeup on, and were picked up by the lemo to go to skopelos. it was just the most awesome day. kristi was the happiest i have ever seen her and so beautiful. we all had so much fun and were so excited for what was about to happen. kristi and ruco truly were made for one another. they are the cutest sweetest couple and i am so happy for them! the wedding was sooooo beautiful and the reception was such a blast! we sent them away for the honeymoon and then the night was over. i was so sad because i went from having so much fun with so many people i love to having to say goodbye to everyone because the next day i was coming back to ohio. here is a pic of me and kristi, isnt she beautiful!
so, once again the drive back seemed like it took forever. we are now back in the swing of things, it took a few days to get the house cleaned up and actually unpack but things are back to normal. dont get me wrong, i do enjoy and appreciate all that i am able to do, i just look so forward to those moments when i am back in the presence of those that love and know me so well. i always miss you all, and always love you. you're my heart.

going home is fun

this time last week i was driving back from my incredible trip to pensacola. it was sooo fun to be home again and just play and hang out with everyone. I left last wednesday because my bosses went out of town and so i had three days off so i got in the jane fonda honda and headed south! i stopped in bham and stayed with merry beth. that was sooo much fun, i just love that girl! the next morning i left and kept going south til i hit PCOLA! yay! i got there and my dad had been keeping my new little neice claire and so i played with her for a little while. we took a walk in the stroller down to Mrs. Tuckers garage sale and talked to her for a little bit. I just love that lady. I love going home and knowing that everywhere i go i will see someone i know and love. we went back to the house and my little Tori Kristi got off work early and came and played with us. it was soooo stinking good to see her. there are just some friends in your life that you always feel safe with, and love as if they were your own blood and this girl is one of them. i just love her so much and was so glad to see her again. we got to talk about her wedding and all that is in one week! i was so happy to be able to just see everything going on with her. its so exciting! we went and ate at the fish house that night, which is oooo so yummy. there is nothing like FRESH fish. not so much of that up in ohio. anyway, that night i stayed with emily because she was leaving town and so i had to get some loving from her and harley! that crazy dog! he is so cute though! haha, anyway, friday i layed out by the pool and chilled with dad until tori got off again. then we went shopping and to moe's. that night us girls stayed at the ole wilson estate because the next day tor had a bridal shower! we woke up that saturday and went to her shower with mostly her family. it was like a breakfast shower and i love breakfast! those ladies can cook. kristi got some goooood stuff and we had fun just talking with all the ladies. my teacher from high school was there and i just love that Mrs. Krostag! i had so much fun talking to her again. that day was also the draft day, and well since my new obsession is with the NFL i had to watch. My friend Kamerion Wimbley went number12 to Clevland and i was soooo excited! FSU had some good players get picked, and fairly high too. after that i pretty much relaxed the rest of the afternoon and took a nice little nap. i just loved not having anything to do but rest and have fun with all my girlfriends.

that night i was telling kristi that i didnt want to leave the next day but i couldnt take it any longer being away from justin. i didnt know how long i could go but i realized four days was enough! i was ready to see him! that night kristi spent the night again and the next morning i woke up and headed back to ohio for what was the longest drive ever! or at least it felt that way. getting down to FL was nothing, but getting back was torture. it just felt like an eternity. well i got back at like 11 that night and was so glad to see my hubby again.

last week was a beautiful week. everyday was sunny and warm. i was able to take lots of walks with alex, which i always enjoy. this past week however, my boss scott was out of town, so their dog boomer was a little nuts. i decided to strap on the baby bjorne and carry alex in the little pack thingy so boomer could come with us. i am so sore from that dumb baby carrier. having a big baby on your belly and a huge dog pulling at you is not fun, and im pretty sure i looked like an idiot. oh yea, also, tuesday was our big volleyball night and well, we won! we are the champs, thats right!

well the weekend was pretty low key. nothing too exciting. did some shopping, played with jenny, and wathced movies. now justin has just left to play halo with all the guys so im home alone to clean and work out and prolly nap, so im off to do that. ill be in pcola in just four days for RUCO AND KRISTIS WEDDING!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED!
