Happy Halloween

A guy at Michael's work got them all costumes and this is his. He is a guru. Cool huh?

These girls are my super cute back-yard neighbors. Grace was Belle and Aliza was Jasmin. Aren't they beautiful?










This is Michael and me at our trunk-or-treat. He was himself for Halloween and I was 'glamorous.'

The House

Here is the final look of the outside of our house. Isn't the blue awesome?





Here is the kitchen. I cleaned after I took the picture but was too lazy to re-take the picture and put it on the computer so you get the messy/lived-in picture. Pay attention to the counter tops, they are from India!


This is the dining room. The walls are the color 'Mint Hint.'




Michael and I installed the floor tiles ourselves! After many long nights, we got it done and I think it looks pretty good.
This is the living room. It's not quite complete yet, but the huge Santa sure adds to the room!
(Do these pictures seem smaller than normal?)

Cheaters

Is it just me or are the people keeping track of movie ticket sales cheating? I mean, how is it comparable to 10 years ago? 10 years ago the price of a movie ticket was like $5 compared to now at $9.75. So when they say "Dark Knight has the highest sales in one day" that means nothing to me anymore. Why don't they keep track of number of tickets sold? Then they could say "Dark Knight sold more tickets in one day than any other movie ever!" Wouldn't that make more sense and be more accurate? Therefore, movie people cheat because the price of the movie ticket keeps increasing making it seem like their movie is totally fantastic when in all actuality it could be the worst movie ever.

Party Anyone?

The moment has FINALLY arrived for the Oliver Housewarming Party! It will be Saturday, October 11, 2008 from 3pm-5pm. Please let us know if you would like to come and we'll send you directions!

Can't wait to see you there!

Falling Apart

Every birthday is the same. Why is number 26 different? Here are my reasons:

1. I am finding many gray hairs.
2. I actually feel older. My joints hurt, my head hurts, my knees ache, everything pops, sometimes when I get up it takes me a few steps in order for me to walk normal again, shall I go on?
3. I am tired as soon as the sun goes down.
4. I am much more snacky (will this lead to mid-night snacking?)

I am falling apart.

Big Bows

I have to take a minute to talk about people putting those HUGE bows on their poor little bald-headed daughters' heads.
What is up with that? I am all for a bow, but a bow that's bigger than your child's head is not acceptable. You know why your kid is crying? They can't see anything! So tone it down a few notches and people will still be able to tell your daughter is a girl!

My 26th Birthday!

July 12, 1982 I was born in Sedalia, Missouri. Pretty exciting huh? Well my day started off pretty well. I was loading up the fridge with soda (for those who drink it, nice of me right?) when all of a sudden, a diet coke slipped right through my arms and fell on the bar stool chair. Well it decided to EXPLODE all over my hair, my clothes, the fridge door, the floor and the counter. It was pretty funny, I mean, the force of the explosion caused my hair to blow backwards! I had to take a picture because it looks like I peed my pants!
The next picture is of my beautiful birthday cake that I really only wanted for the flower and the bees because they are magnets! Cool huh?
And of course what would a birthday be without Red Robin? I had a free burger because it was my birthday and it was so delicious! Whiskey River BBQ burger...oh yeah!
Michael and I also went and saw Wall-E with our free movie tickets that we've had for about 1 year (we do splurge once in a while). It was fun, cute and sad all in one movie.
