LAST day of work!

Marie will miss me. We'll have to get together to practice for our band after you work.

My sister Melissa. You are so funny! How perfect did this picture turn out? I won't miss you so much because I will still see you!

I'll miss you, NST!

Hooray!

Yesterday at work I felt like this







Today I feel like this








Why you ask? I put in my 2 weeks notice! Oh yeah! Now what am I going to do you ask? I'm going to substitute teach! I'm excited!

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.
