you know you've had a long week when...

your husband tells you that you get to pick where we have our date night, and I want to go to Sams. Seriously, that's where I want to go. It's been a long week :)

progress

My mom visited last week for about 4 days and boy were we busy.

In the middle of the madness: (we hung newspaper to get an idea for a valance or cornice board)

One down, two more to go:

And they're up:

One more to hang over the sliding door once we get some more hardware up:


And another really exciting note of house progress: the last few rain storms we've had, we've checked the basement and had no water whatsoever! There have been at least two really good downpours to the point that we're pretty satisfied that it's done *cross fingers* and have talked to the contractor who will put some more soil down and then lay sod. I'm thinking that it will get done before the end of the year, and that is going to be a huge relief!!

5 year reunion



This weekend we traveled back to our Alma Mater for homecoming, it was our 5 year reunion this year. What a fun time, catching up with old friends and classmates, and reliving freshman weirdness. We walked past the house I lived in my senior year with 4 other close friends, of course we went to Ivanhoes, we poured over some old photo albums from the good old days, and laughed a whole lot. Check out all the photos here.

How do you know Steve?

I finally joined Lin.kedIn a while back. If you don't know what that is, it's just one of many social networking sites, this one is targeted for professionals. I joined after getting several invites, and other pressures to join :) and today I decided to add Steve to my list of connections. The question was asked "How do you know Steve". What should I put? Colleague? Kinda true. The site suggested that I add him as a classmate, we went to 2 schools together. So classmate is also true. There is an option "I don't know this person" which is definitely out because I do know Steve. I finally decided that he is my friend. Awww :)
