Poinsettia Bowl Bound

YEAH!! BSU gets to play in the Poinsettia Bowl. To bad its not a BCS bowl but it is still a bowl game other than the H bowl. Before it was decided that BSU was going to play TCU in sunny California, Ben and I decided that we would go ahead and book tickets to fly down to California to be there on the 23 of December just in case BSU was to play in the Poinsettia Bowl. We were not to worried about the whole thing because if they would not play in the Poinsettia Bowl, we would have still gone to California to visit Ben's parents for Christmas. It all worked out thought we get to see Ben's parents for Christmas and watch BSU play TCU in San Diego. We leave on the 20th of December and will fly back on Christmas day. We were so excited that everything worked out and we GET to watch BSU play.

NEW project

A few weeks ago we purchased some really big cinder blocks for landscaping. Not to mention we got them for a steal of a deal just a dollar a each, normally these big cinders would cost almost five bucks each so we made out like bandits. In our very small back yard we are re-building our retaining wall. It wasn't to bad before but we decided it needed a make over. In the near future we will be adding some kind of water feature. We are not done with the project just yet, we only have 1/2 of the wall built, but I really can't even say 1/2 because we still need to put the top cinders on to top it off so here we are right in the middle of the project but it will be done soon. Ben is such a hard worker at making our house look better and nicer. Ever since we have moved in here there have been lots of projects to work on, I wonder what will be next?? I guess we will have to see!! Have a nice day folks.

Lazy Dayz

When there is nothing much going on and you know it is just going to be a lazy day, this is where you will find me, hanging out on the bean bag with my buddy Legadu. He loves to cuddle with you. When Legadu was a puppy we could never really get him to cuddle with you, until Ben took him backpacking one year and it was supper cold Legadu cuddled up real close to Ben so he would stay warm and ever since that trip he loves to cuddle as much as he can. Were okay with that I guess.

Happy Turkey Day!!

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and enjoys being with there families if you were able to make it this year. I know I will be enjoying lots of turkey and mashed potatoes. YUMMY!! I love Thanksgiving for all the yummy eats. Enjoy your holiday.

Work, Work, Work

Buying a new home means that there is always something to be worked on. Wither it be demolition, painting or installing something new. Well this weeks project or should I say maybe a couple of weeks, we have been working on installing new tile for our front entry way. Before it was this crappy old worn out wood floor and it just had to go. So one day Ben decided to rip it all out and that is how the project began. We had a few set backs like BSU games or Ben accidentally cut his finger with the razor blade so that put us back a while but the good news is he still has is finger and it is healing nicely and that we finished it YEAH!! Now we have started on getting Tom's bathroom tiled we are just about done, the only thing left to do is to seal the tile and grout lines and put the toilet back in and than we are DONE!! After doing a project like this the end results are always rewarding.

Puking Pumpkins

So I wanted to carve pumpkins this year and of course I can never talk Ben into carving pumpkins with me so I carved his pumpkin and I carved my own. I really didn't mean to copy you Jenny and Chris, but I had that in mind as well to have my pumpkin puking!! It really is rather funny when you look at it. But I had a great time carving up my pumpkins this year and hope I can get someone else to help me carve them next year! I hope everyone has a really great Halloween, and have a SPOOKTAKULAR NIGHT!!

Me and Mrs. Cheese Head

Jamie is one of my good friends at work she dressed up as a Greenbay Packer Fan, she had made some really cool signs for the team and hung them around her desk. And then there is me so you could get a better look at my construction out fit! The picture's didn't turn out so good that is because I have to use my camera phone, and my real camera is still broken. I think it has been broken for over a year now. Maybe I just need to get a new one.

The Village People

Being that it is Halloween and that time of year a group of us girls from work decided that it would be fun to all dress up as the Village People Deidra was the Indian, Megan was the Sheriff, Vy as the biker chick, Deanna as the first Sargent, Susan was the Cowgirl, and there there is me as the hard working construction man or bob the builder. We all had a lot of fun dressing up at work as funny people.

Fall is in the Air

Fall is my favorite time of year! The leaves are all changing colors, the weather is getting colder. The grass has stopped growing (no more mowing!) BSU Football has started. Racking leaves and jumping around in them. Halloween is just around the corner. What will you be for Halloween? What are your kids going to be? Kids running around in the streets at night in funny outfits. Pumpkin carving, pumpkin pie. Scary decorations. What more can you say about Fall. I think it is just a wonderful time of the year there are so many different colors around.

My Doggy Legadu

Legadu and I were out playing ball and I figured out how to make him pose really cute for the camera!! Its really easy I just have to hold his ball right next to the camera because that is all he ever thinks about is his tennis ball. He is a great dog and I am glad he is part of our family.
