August

"Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up!! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human."

Anthony Robbins

Well August where have you gone?? Geezz time is flying buy it seems as though it was just May and now it is the end of August. It is so crazy to think that in 2 more months Jeremy and I will be married for 1 year....how crazy...but exciting we have had so many ups and downs that is has been a great and crazy year. Well work is going great I got a promotion this week so I will be moving to a new store starting the first of September. So that is exciting.....but it will be a lot more stress and work but I am up for the challenge. We also have a new renter moving into our house in Westville starting the 1st of September so lots of changes for the up coming month...it has been a crazy busy summer. However we have had a great crop of produce, let me tell you I think Jer has grown the tallest pepper plants I have ever seen it is crazy how tall they have gotten, and my tomato plant is amazing, it is hhhhuuugggeee, love it and the tomato's are so yummy so we have been eating tons of meals that require tomato's and peppers....I have attached pictures of my awesome gardening produce....haha...haha. Well, on the other note I finally received my wedding table book from Italy this month and let me tell you it is simply amazing....it is all hand made in Italy and it turned out better than I could every imagine. I was flipping through the pages and saw a great group pic of my Saint Joe girls....and I just had to sit and think about all the great times we had and how everyone has gotten married, had babies or is going to have babies, or going back and getting there masters what exciting times for all of us, miss ya girls and thanks to all who made the trip for our wedding. Well that is all for now we will keep ya updated.

I was super excited to pick this tomato!!!!

Month of July

Well I am finally getting around to posting on our blog...I know it has been forever since I have updated but it has been crazy busy around here with work, rental property, 4th of July, and The LP County fair which we know I love. Well work is going great, it is scary how much I enjoy working in retail and all the craziness that it brings especially with back to school and new floor sets in motion for the next couple of weeks I will be a crazy woman. Anyhow now to the fun stuff....4th July we made it back to my mom and dads house for a party, fireworks, and some fun golf cart time, which is always a great time hanging out and partying with the family and of course Jeremy, Adam, and Clint had to get some fireworks so it is always fun and exciting and hilarious.....the Laporte parade was good as always, u cant beat beer, great friends and a party on the 4th. We have also had to work around our rental property we had a little hot water problem....it would not stay on so we had to get out our handy dandy owners manual and do a little cleaning...so I was proud of us fixing our own stuff for our renters!!! Go Us!!! But the best part of July is the LaPorte County Fair!!!! I know I have been out of 4-H for a long time now but there is nothing better than fair, cattle shows, and the people that go along with it. Clint, Peter, My Sister and Me made a road trip to Madison county fair to help fit couple calves we sold last fall...that was exciting and the kids did really good!! Then we helped out 5 families at the LaPorte County fair which is my hometown fair and the best fair in Indiana my personal opinion...the kids did great with there steers and heifers....several won there breed....and did great in showmanship....so all together it was a great day and worth the road trip!!!! I could have hung out there all week because gosh u have to love the greasy yummy fair food and oh of course drinking and partying with old friends!! Well it has been a busy July and we have done some exciting and fun stuff!!! Now its back to work and taking it easy....hopefully I will post a lot sooner than I did this last time and pictures are to come here in the future of all our events in July.

Drag Racing

Happiness Is A Fast Car!!!!!

This weekend was O'reilly Raceway Parks opening day and time trials for dragsters. Yes, my husbands passion of fast cars was at first what sounded crazy and now I have become an adrenalin junky and love to go to the drag strip. It was 85 degrees and sunny yes I did not pack any sunscreen because I Never Burn!!! ....well until Saturday and I fried to a crisp...and I hurt.....and I am not happy......I am so burned that my skin is bubbling and hurting...and Jeremy's poor little head is soooooo red..it is defiantly ouchy.....so on Sunday we were in long sleeves and lots and lots of spf 50...who would ever thought I would be buying sunscreen ....old age and worn out skin...ain't it a *%&$*!!! Anyway it was a great weekend and we loved every

every moment. We had our fill of racing fuel fumes....sun...adrenilin...it was great!!! Now, it is back to work...ugh..and not looking forward to it with my ouchy arms!!!

To make it even better it is opening day!!!! I will defiantly post some pics of our weekend. Otherwise nothing really new these days with us but my mom and dad came to indy to visit last thursday and while here we took a car ride and guess what......yep my mom has a new puppy!!!!!!! It is a mini Dachshund pie bald.....oh it is sooo cute so mom and dad are sooo excited and can't stop talking about her....and dad i think is a little over protective he has taken her to the vet for every little cough or anything...they are in love with her and happy so that makes me happy...moms sending pics so I will update with photos....well thats all for now but check back on Monday for weekend pics....

March 25th 2009 a day that my family will never forget. A little piece of heaven came into our lives 1 year and 9 months ago, her name was Maddie and she was a mini daushound, Jeremy and I brought her home when we were moving into our first home however we were never home, so we took her to my mom and dads where they fell head over heels for her my mom took her everywhere and even let her sleep in her bed. If you saw my mom you were garenteed to see Maddie. Golf cart rides, campfires, swimming, running like a crazy women. However, yesterday some jerk was driving down my parents country road way way to fast and Maddie was running from my dad when the car hit her. Our family is devestated. Maddie girl you will be missed and you brightened so many days. On the other hand work has been busy, everyday is a new task, you have got to love retail. My cuz Michele is married now and had a beautiful ceremony and reception what a great time, and so excited for Mr. and Mrs. TaTay!!! Now that I have tears falling from thinking about Maddie ...it is time for me to stop...I will defently try to update and post a little sooner because there is a lot going on these last few weeks.

Sorry to everyone who checks in on our blog and because we have been extremely busy with work, packing, moving, unpacking, and working some more. We have found a renter for the house!!! Woohooo!! We are so excited but also I think as we move the last pieces of furniture out of the house I will probably start shedding some tears. We are starting a new chapter in our book now that we are on like chapter 13 since we have been married with all the changes that have taken place in the last 4 months...but if we can't learn and grow from it than we will never know how to..becuase we have been through a lot these last 4 months. Anyhow I have finally had to admit that I have a ton of stuff after 3 years of telling Jeremy he is the collector and trinket man I have found with packing that I have collected way too much stuff, but I love it all so much I can't part so I will just have to upgrade to a larger storage unit. Hehehehe...sorry hunny more boxes for you to carry. We are going to miss all of our neighbors expecially Alan, henery and orio (yes alan is a man and henery and orio are his dogs). However, Indianapolis is going to be extremely exciting for us and we can not wait...and we are def. going to the drag strip alot this summer and spring...and of course Pinks All Out is coming last weekend in may...way excited....well this week we are moving, cleaning the house, chelsea's baby shower (so excited) and michele's bachelorette party and bridal shower (ready to get wasted and crazy) so busy week but we will get through it....and I promise to post some moving pics.
