My Team Won, Apparently

So I decided to wear khakis, a polo, and tennis shoes to work today. I was hungry at the end of the day, so I stopped by Buffalo Wild Wings for some food. I noticed a Gatorade cooler on the ground, so I walked over to see what was written on it. Then, out of nowhere, a football player shows up and dumps orange Gatorade all over my head. I hadn't seen him sneak up behind me, so you can imagine my surprise when the cold beverage was suddenly pouring down on top of me. Fortunately, someone happened to have a camera and took a picture of that very moment, and it perfectly captured the natural and spontaneous surprised look on my face.

A Comfy Place

Joshua loves dog things. He loves the dog bed, dog cages, dog water, and dog toys. One of the funniest things he does is crawl around carrying his toys in his mouth. I think this is very normal, but I also think it might be good for him to hang out with some friends that are human this year.

Poor Baby

It has been a really long time since Joshua has had a bottle during the daytime, but today he had some sort of a stomach bug so I tried to feed him mostly liquids. He was pretty not happy about that so I gave him his bottle to make up for it. Since a bottle of formula is his absolute favorite thing in the world, he was okay with the trade off.

Seamless

Although our house passed inspection, and we completed a few extra tasks per our agreement with the buyer, the appraiser found an issue that he said needed to be fixed to meet one of the regulations of the FHA loan that our buyer is getting.  The siding on our house was the subject of a class action lawsuit, so it's not good (and in fact is one reason we're happy we're moving before we have to redo it all).  But there was one spot in particular where the seam was split and a piece of the siding bowed out.  I'm no Ryan Sawyer, but I can occasionally fix some things on my own, and I managed to screw in the siding board, caulk it, and paint it so there's no longer any gap.  Hopefully that's the last major thing to fix.   

Two Ushers, Two Groomsmen, and a Groom

Today was the big day, as Jason and Kelli are now bride and groom.  Between the ceremony and the reception, there was a block of extra time, so all the guests were directed to Tanner's to hang out until it was time to head to the reception hall.  Here a few of us pose for a picture while the groom makes a face that can only be described as "Keeler-esque".

Rehearsing

Jason Keeler is getting married tomorrow, so tonight was the rehearsal dinner at Barley's on Midland Ave., which is exactly where Meghan and I had the rehearsal dinner for our wedding.  It started too late for Joshua to attend, so Meghan stayed home with him.  I had a great time hanging out with my friends, and the food was really good too.

A Good Day

Once a week Joshua goes to the Becks in the afternoon. Mainly I use this time to enjoy being alone because, though I love being a mom, I also love being alone and it's the thing I miss the most from my life before kids. Sometimes I have to work or run errands during this time. Today I went to the grocery store, but I still had a couple hours so I read a book. My resolution this year was to read 12 books and watch 6 movies. I have seen 5 movies so far this year so I will definitely make it to 6, but I have only read 6 books so I need to focus on that. Today I read number 7, Sarah's Key. I found some parts of the book very compelling and other parts very chick litty and I am not a chick lit fan at all. But I am glad I read it and had a very enjoyable day. The weather was wonderful so I read most of it outside, but I didn't think to get a picture of that, so here I am finishing it up inside.
