Hello again. It has been quiet out in blogger world lately. Thanks Matt and Justin for at least keeping me entertained. I need to be a more faithful blogger too. That will be my goal for next week.
I'm happy to hear that it might just be the jacuzzi that's leaking Matt and Tracey. I really feel like that place is yours too and that God is just using this to push back your date to be closer to your lease being up. But of course He knows best!
We had a fun 4th of July of weekend. Thursday night Ryan got into Cincinnati early and I ended up taking a nap here in Leixngton untill 8pm. I wasn't going to come up until Friday, but Tracey and Heidi lured me into coming by saying that they would play Cantan with me, so I hustled and packed up and got there around 10pm. But did we play Cantan?.....no! But I did have fun chatting with the girls, so that was even better. On Friday Heidi adjusted us all on her portable bed. It was actually pretty entertaining, especially when Ryan and Mom got adjusted. You could tell they were a little apprehensive, but they were troopers. It felt so good to be adjusted! I really need to start going to a chiropractor more regularly. Then Tracey played some piano for us. I always cry when she plays for some reason. It always moves me to hear her play. Especially River of Dreams! It's my favorite. I hope that Hannah will take up an instrument. It would be fun to have music around the house.
Friday night we headed over to East Fork Lake to camp with my family. We decided to head to New Richmond, a nearby city, around 9pm to try and catch the fireworks and get something to eat. When we left the site it was perfectly clear out and no one had heard anything about rain being forcasted, so we didn't bother zipping up our tent or putting away the chairs. Well as we were driving all of sudden out of no where it looked like a scene from Twister. The wind was crazy and branches and little sutff were flying all over this dark back road that we were taking. I looked over at Ryan driving and he's all quiet and I could tell he was stressing out a bit. But did that stop my family from being loud and obnoxious, of course not! So we continued on with our name the movie quote game, which I'm sure helped out his stress level. :)
Well we finally got to New Richmond and we could tell that it was going to storm any minute, but we thought maybe they would still shoot off a few fireworks. So we stopped at this gas station to ask where the fireworks were being held at just as they were locking the doors, because the wind kept blowing them open. Well apparently the web site that I found telling me about the fireworks was from 2002, so we were a little late getting there. But that didn't stop us..we tredged on and this time it was just pouring buckets. We finally did this big loop and ended up on Beechmont by Ryan's folks house. We were just going to get something cheap to eat, but by this time it was 10:30pm we were all starving! Ryan mentioned something about Olive Garden cheesecake and we all got excited. So we went to Olive Garden and had some good grub and headed back to camp. When we got there, everything was soaked and the wind had turned our tent upside down, which was actually a good thing because it really didn't get that wet on the inside. But thankfully we had my folk's RV to sleep in and we piled in there and had a good night sleep after our adventures.
Saturday was a little less eventful, but still fun. We just hung out in the morning and went to the beach for a little bit. And then in the afternoon, the guys went golfing and the girls went shopping and then we just hung out at the camp site that night. Ate some yummy hobo dinners, which for those of you who don't know what those are, they are potatoes, sausage, sirloin burgers, carrots, and onions, and lots of butter wrapped in aluminum foil and tossed in the fire to cook. Delicious! And as Ryan continued to play with the fire, being the pyro he is, we just sat around and chatted and then went to bed.
Sunday I had my first baby shower at Ryan's folks house! To use Heidi's favorite quote..."It was perfect!" It really was such a fun shower. Tracey and Mom did such a great job putting it together. The food, decorations and games were so great. I felt so special! And it was great to see some friends I hadn't seen in awhile. I was sorry I couldn't chat with them longer. We got lots of great stuff too. I can't wait to put them to use! One of the games was to see if Ryan and I would answer the same to a list of questions and instead of Tracey just telling us what his answers were, she video taped him. It was so unique and fun! I'm glad my mom taped the whole thing too, because it was fun to see both of our answers on tape. Some of them were almost word for word.
This week has been very productive for us. Ryan and I made a list of what we need to do before Hannah comes and the first thing was getting this apartment ready. So the last couple of nights we have been rearranging furniture, moving it to different rooms, tearing down beds, cleaning out drawers, etc... There unfortunately is still a ton to do, but at least we made a dent.
Welp I better finish getting ready to go meet Tracey and Ryan for lunch. Tracey is driving down from Cinti to have lunch with us and to look at our model home. I'm excited I get to see her one last time. But then it will only be October and we'll get to see her again. It is pretty funny how I think that we do see Matt and Tracey more now since they live in Cali than when they lived in BG.
I definitely need to blog more often so I don't have to write so much. Have a great weekend everyone. I hope you find another computer soon Mary so we can hear about your Alaskan adventures.
Peace!
Michelle
