i've been a blog slacker the past couple of weeks.  it was good getting caught up with everyone's blog.  we've been busy lately, but it's been a fun busy.  Let's see..last weekend we went up to Columbus, because my mom had bought her, Jen, and I tickets to see the Lion King broadway show for Christmas.  It was an amazing show!  I bet the Edward clan would like it because it's very African safari like.  The costumes and props were amazing.   It was a bit cheesy too, because the dialogue was almost verbatim the animated movie, but overall an awesome show.   that weekend ryan and i also celebrated our 5th anniversary!   my mom and Jen watched Hannah while we went to see Spiderman 2 (great flick) and then to the Old Bag of Nails for a yummy fish sandwhich, and then we went to the Scioto river and chatted for awhile.  It was a great weekend.   And then on Sunday we went over to Dayton and met up with Phil and Carly at his parent's second home which is just minutes from where Ryan has his meeting on Monday so it worked out great.  We chatted and played catan until 1:30 in the morning.  and then on Monday Hannah and I drove down to Lexington with Phil and Carly and Ryan came later after his meeting.  We went to Mancino's for dinner and then Phil and Carly watched Hannah for us while we stopped by our friend's Jeremy and Jennifer for their going away party.  They are moving to Alabama.  We all wrote them letters and then some of us made a scrap book with the letters and pictures from the past 5 years.  It was neat to see the finished project.   And then we stayed up until 3am playing catan again with Phil and Carly.  It was fun trying to pretend that I was young and in college again, but when those mornings come reality sets in and I wonder what in the world I was thinking.  I don't think I have fully caught up yet on sleep, but it was still fun.  Phil and Carly just graduated from Harvard and are moving to Minnesota.  Phil is going to be working at Best Buy in the marketing department for games, dvd, and entertainment.   He asked his boss what he could be doing to prepare for his job before he starts and he told him to read entertainment weekly and get caught up on what's going on in the entertainment world.  Pretty sickening isn't it?
 
This past weekend was pretty relaxing.  Just stayed in Lexington.  We played Catan with Dan and Lisa and swam in her parent's pool.  That was fun.  On Saturday I hung out with Jamie and we took the girls to the pool.  Hannah loved it.  It's a pretty fun pool with  a splash zone and fun slides.  I definitely want to take her back sometime.   And then after church we played Catan with Ryan and Heather and Dan and Lisa.   We've been quite the cataniacs lately it seems.
 
The new me is still going pretty good.  I didn't get a whole lot done last week because i took many naps, but when i was awake, i stayed pretty productive.   Hannah is cute as ever.  She's starting to inch worm her way around now.  I have a video clip i'll be sending out sometime soon.
 
welp i feel as though this blog is quite the boring read so i will end the misery now.  have a great week all and have an amazingly awesome time in Europe Mary!
