We had a really busy weekend, Brent says he felt like it was a mini vacation. Friday we went to dinner, stopped to meet Mom's new cat "Nooggie" (she hasn't renamed her yet) at her apartment and then got on the road. We headed to Gibson City for the drive in movie theater. Our first time there. We saw Toy Story 3, or at least most of it. The winds started picking up, along with some lightening and then the tornado sirens. Sooo, we left and drove into the storm, booo. We got home late that night, as the movie didn't start until about 9:15.

Saturday morning we got up and got on the road to Danville, where we met up with a friend of Brent, his wife and his daughter. We went to lunch and then hit to the road. This time to Indiana Beach. About two hours later we arrived. We hit up the waterpark and then had some fun on the rides. We stayed until the fireworks ended, basically til the park closed. We had a great time with them and as always Makenna had lots of fun with their daughter too, they are kinda close in age. We arrived home around 12:30 on Sunday morning, very tired.

Sunday we celebrated Father's Day with lots of naps and eating out. For lunch we had Indian food and then for dinner we hit up dollar sushi night. It was gooooood.

I think today Makenna and I are going take it nice and slow today. Maybe just a run to the grocery store to grab a few things for dinner tonight.

June

1. I can't believe it is the middle of June already! Summer will be over before I know it.

2. I would post some photos buuuut I haven't taken any lately (ducks behind the couch).

3. Yesterday I got a certificate from Eastern in the mail. I made the Dean's list, woohoo.

4. My hydrangea must have heard me last year when I said I'd give it one more year before ripping it out. It's blooming as we speak, for the second time since we've been in the house. Let me tell you what I did to get it to bloom..........nothing. Just like other years. Whatever.

5.We've been to the pool a couple of times this week. Thinking about going again today, I think my side boob burn has healed...

6. We've also been to the library multiple times this week. I'm in need of a good summer book, the one I was reading started to blow get boring about 1/3 of the way through, I quit reading it. A good summer book=something a little trashy and usually based in the south, lol.

7. Yesterday we went to the indoor playground after our picnic at an outdoor playground. I got my walk on for about an hour while Makenna ran around and played. Worked out well.

Summer Loves

1. The sight of the fireflies in the backyard when it is pitch dark. It looks like a floating construction site. I tried to take video of it but it didn't show up well.

2. Going to the pool as many times a week as the weather permits. And the awesome radio they play.

3. Sitting at the picnic tables while sharing ice cream with loves at the local custard dive.

4. Summer tan lines.

5. Summer thunderstorms.

6. Finding the exact product you were going to buy brand new at the local thrift store for 1/10th of the price.

7. Driving with the windows down and wind in your hair.

8. Knowing I have no homework.

Wonderful Wednesday

1. Went to the pool today, it was soooo nice and sunny. I'm gonna miss it come fall.

2. This past weekend I gave in and had layers cut back in my hair so it would look better when I wear it curly, so I can wear it curly. The flat iron on a daily basis was killing my ends! It is soo much better now. My long term goal is to grow it out...but you know how I am.

3. Listed some more stuff on the ole ebayer today. Selling an old camera, phone, and flat iron. I believe I have a buyer for my craigslist ad too, we will see.

4. Brent says he needs a vacay, I agree.

5. I'm on a ploy to eat out less. Wish me lunch.

6. I did a lot today: worked out, went to the pool, went to the library, listed ebay stuff, returned a movie, yadayadayada...

I remember why I liked Makenna going to preschool so much:

1.The house stayed wayyyy cleaner.
2. I didn't have to argue with a 3 year old...as much.

On the way to the car from the library Makenna pointed out that a car we passed looked like our car, to which I said "yes it does". And then she repeated the statement no less than TWELVE times in a row. Arrrgggghh, you know in dumb and dumber when the dude asks if he wants to hear the most annoying sound in world....word repetition is mine! I know I'm in a crabby mood.

I got to Walgreens to pick some more fish oil since I knew they were doing a buy one get one special and I had a free redbox code. I forgot to write down the specific kind of fish oil I've been using, doh. But I did pick up some shout and dryer sheets which I needed. Buuuut, the whole point of going to Walgreens instead of the regular grocery was the fish oil. FAIL.

On the upside, I made my bed today. On the down side I did not workout this morning, boooo.

Who's making me dinner?

Happy Wednesday!

I FINALLY uploaded photos to the photosite, you can find them to the right in the sidebar under our photo site. Enjoy!

Memorial weekend

1. Saturday we (Makenna and I) went to the pool for the first time of the season, the first day it opened. We enjoyed the lazy river, ahhh, so relaxing. Makenna even saw some of the kids from her preschool class there too. After the pool we enjoyed some dinner from Red Lobster b/c frankly I hadn't taken my fish oil pill yet and was reallllly craving seafood.

2. Sunday Mom was nice enough to watch Makenna for us while we went over to Lake Shelbyville to spend the day boating with one of Brent's old coworkers. We had a nice time though the water was a tad cold. We got back kinda late Sunday night but Makenna was spending the night with Mom so it wasn't a big deal.

3. Monday we picked up Makenna and then just bummed around the house. It rained off and on most of the day, though we did take a walk in the rain at one point while Makenna pretty much rode her bike. She is getting the hang of the pedaling now and we moved her seat up for her.

4. Today was the first non-preschool day. I've done well today. By noon: dinner was in the crockpot, I had put in 30 minutes on the elliptical, breakfast and lunch had been served and we were getting ready to head to the pool again. Go me.
