I realize I haven't blogged in a really, really long time. My apologies, I haven't been busy or anything like that I simply just didn't feel like blogging. Sometimes I feel like I need to have this amazing blog that will make people laugh and show how witty I am, but then I realize I just need to write something so my sister will have something to read... not as much pressure. So today, this blog will consist of random things.
Colin and I had our 5 year anniversary on July 20th (dating anniversary). We decided this year we would just make each other cards and not get gifts. I basically made my card into a gift by spending over an hour in Michael's. That store has so many styles of paper and different kinds of stickers and sparkly things, I was in heaven!! I eventually got black glitter paper and gold shimmer paper and made a four page mini scrapbook. I was rather impressed with myself since I am not creative at all!! But it was really rewarding to put so much effort into my sparkly cardbook and it made me really think about these past five years and how wonderful they have been!!
Okay enough with the mushy stuff!!
The weekend after that one we had our annual pool party with the Peterson/Nelson/Lockers aka my Dad's side of the family. I always look forward to this weekend in the summer because it is so fun to hang out at the pool, eat food, and have fun with the fam! This year was different than usual though because it was the first year without Grandma, who finally got her wish to go to heaven on Easter Sunday (ironic, perfect day for her to go to heaven!) so we spent Saturday and Sunday night going through old pictures and cards that she had saved, basically every card she ever received!! Definitely bittersweet. We also got cupcakes from Cold Spring Bakery and again the women (not mentioning names) who believe that EVERYBODY just loves the raspberry filled almond cupcakes were wrong. They like the raspberry filled almond cupcakes and everybody else likes the cherry chocolate cupcakes!! We always run out and they always think that nobody likes them which makes no sense. So next time, more chocolate, less raspberry almond.
Today, Andrea and I got voice mails from our landlord Let me just start by saying he is very nice but incredibly awkward! This is the beginning of the voicemail... Hi um this is Mark, your landlord of course. Haha Of course its Mark my landlord!! Well it was just really funny because he is so awkward you would have to hear it.But either way he is going to come put new tile in our hallway and kitchen! Yay!
I also saw Transformers and Harry Potter. Both I really liked! Transformers actually had a plot compared to the second one so it was much better and still definitely entertaining. Harry Potter was wonderful and there were only a few things I would change just because it was different from the book and seemed unneeded but my opinion really doesn't matter at all! But I did laugh (mainly inside not out loud hence the no LOL... ha just kidding) at the end of the movie when it is supposedly 19 years later and the only difference in any of them is how their hair is styled and Harry has some stubble... it seemed awkward. But oh well the rest was good.
Well Casey I hope this keeps you busy for a little bit. I'll try to do this more but no promises. I really do have to put up a video of Bentley in front of the treat cupboard, he's so weird!! And I swear I will eventually write about Gracie and her bizarre eating habits. Have a good night!!
