Busy Busy Busy...

Oh my, where to start?...

Well, it's been a while since I last wrote. It's been REALLY hectic around here lately. We were supposed to take a 3.5 day trip to Evansville to visit relatives, which turned into a 5.5 day trip because our car broke down while we were out of town. Turns out my car needed a new engine, which totaled the car. It kinda worked out though because now we got a new car! :-) I suppose we could've done that while we still had the other one, and spared us the headache of trying to figure out what to do with this pile of crap.... oh well, I couldn't be happier with my new car!! I'll try and figure out how to add a photo on here from my new phone (exciting thing #2 to happen since I last posted!) We got a Newport Blue Pearl colored 2010 Subaru Forester! It is soooo nice! I've never owned a new car before so this was quite a treat!

Once we got back John and I started the search for our wonderful new piece of automotive machinery. :-) That took up most of Tuesday night and Wednesday. We purchased the car Thursday and took it to a drive-in movie to celebrate! (I fell asleep 45 minutes in to the movie but shhhh that's ok, right?) Then John worked Friday morning while I spent a few hours on the phone trying to figure out our insurance, pay some other bills and some other odds and ends. Once John got home we left to go to my Aunt and Uncle's house for our monthly family game night. Once a month my parents and my Aunt and Uncle and my Grandma (and hopefully other family members soon) all get together to play games. It's really fun because otherwise we'd never see eachother. We're all busy with work and other stuff that we rarely saw each other even though we live so close to each other! We've been doing it for about 6 months now and it's worked out great! Well, we left really late last night and didn't get home until after midnight and by the time we got both kids to bed, did those few things that need to get done at the end of every day (mostly washing baby bottles), and got ourselves to bed it was well after 1am. We both really paid for it this morning because both kids decided to get up at the crack ass of dawn! :-( lol. I get grumpy when I'm tired.

Today has been a very productive day! I got the house (mostly) cleaned, put Deklan's swing together (which of course is out of batteries after Melanie used it last-and we are out of the kind of batteries it takes), spent alot of time playing with Melanie, and am now actually sitting down to write this! My friend Kacyn is coming to visit tonight and we're going to have a girls' night out (one of the last ones for a while since she's moving to Charlotte in a few weeks!) Then tomorrow John's parents are hosting a BBQ in honor of Deklan since we weren't able to have a babyshower before his premature arrival. Monday is full of doctor's appointments and studying since my make-up Anatomy final is Tuesday at 1pm! YIKES!! I hope I'll be ready in time. It's amazing how much you can forget in just a few short weeks. After the final Tuesday John and I are heading back down to Evansville to clean out our car of all our worldly possessions and meet with the charity we are donating it to. Then we'll spend the night at my Grandma's house and drive halfway back to Bloomington, which is where Kacyn lives. We're gonna spend the day visiting with her and enjoying the Bloomington culture before finally heading back home. *Sigh*.... what a LOT of stuff to do in just a few short days!

Then, unfortunately (or fortunately), school starts August 24th. But before it does, we still have the Kelly Clarkson concert and the Kathy Griffin concert to look forward to!! Both gifts from John for our anniversary!

Well, both of my kids are screaming so I suppose now is a good time to end this. Looking forward to getting back into this now that things have slowed down.. haha. yeah right!
