Weekend Update
Morning! How was your weekend?
Friday, H and I were lazy. It was pouring and so we ordered in and rented 'This is 40' which was cute (but long).
Saturday, we went to my brother and SIL's in Philly to meet my new nephew! He's 5 weeks old now and too cute for words. I love him 
After that, we drove to DE for my cousin's engagement party which was so much fun. I love spending time with that side of my family (my dad's side, when he isn't there of course). There was a ton of alcohol and I was definitely drunk. H and I got home at 1am.
Yesterday, I got to see Bri!!! We laid on the beach for a while and then walked over to the seafood festival which was delish. Last night, H and I went out for a nice dinner to "celebrate" our 6 years together. Time has FLOWN!
Such a great weekend!

Re: Weekend Update
Friday night, H and I went to go eat with a couple friends, and then grabbed some iced coffee at a tasty little bakery. Saturday, we got up super early (after we got to bed late on Friday, like 1 AM?) to run by the farmer's market, the bank, and then a 45-minute drive across town to pick up some medicine for Baxter at the vet. I got a DELICIOUS lemon drizzle tart cherry scone at the farmer's market for breakfast, and then I got a bunch of seedlings to replace the ones all this crazy weather ruined in my garden.
we had lunch at our house yesterday with another couple of friends. we grilled steak and I sauteed some zucchini, peas (from the garden!), shallots, and grape tomatoes with lemon thyme from my herbs. and an arugula salad topped with a tomato/red onion/balsamic/basil "dressing". my friend brought over a lemon drizzle pound cake that is my new favorite dessert!! we ate way too much of it, but it was wonderful.
this week I have a bunch to catch up on. the last week and a half I had a pretty bad time with my PMDD, so I am behind in almost everything. oh well, it's a new week!!
Saturday I had a drs appt and got put on new BC so here's to hoping it works better. Then I walked around the mall for a bit, finally used my sephora gift card- first time ever buying something from there...
Then I went and spent two hours reading at Barnes and Nobles, then went to dinner by myself - took myself out for pear and Gorgonzola pizza. Then went over to R's and watched the Blackhawks beat the kings to go to the cup finals!!
Sunday I finally cleaned out the spare room for G to move in this weekend. Needless to say I put most of the stuff in my room until I can deal with it. Laundry, grocery shopping and cleaning rounded out my day.
I still have a lot to around the house but it was a good start.
OMG your nephew is so adorable! I love his little outfit!
This weekend was our bridesmaids luncheon. @mhollister89 has all the pics so I'll let her post whatever ones she chooses. It was a big hit! All of our food turned out great and everyone loved the little potted succulent favors we made. I think everyone had a good time and they are all looking forward to dress shopping in a couple of weeks.
BF and I spent the remainder of our weekend moving boxes and spending money. We bought new locks for the doors, paint for our bedroom and bathroom, GFCI outlets, an air compressor (according to BF it was "on sale"), a new dryer vent, and just tons of other stuff. BF was basically like a kid in a Toyrs R Us when we made our visit to Lowe's. Our realtor also bought us a grill which we will hopefully have assembled soon.
Our really big news is we are getting a puppy!! Mholl's coworker has a bunch of black lab mix puppies that are nearly ready to go home so we'll be taking one to our new home in a couple of weeks once we've moved everything in. I am SO excited. It's going to be a ton of work but I really think she'll add to our lives in more ways that we can even know right now. Anyway here is a pic of our little girl! Everyone meet Cinders! Once we bring her home I'll have way more pics and plenty more to AW.
@rdr716 - Bax is OK. he has an allergy to flea bites, and we finally figured out they are getting them from a field we let them play in on walks. so no more field, and we had to go get flea pills because even the best flea topical wasn't getting rid of them fast enough. poor Bax has really been suffering, but he is doing better now. thankfully, there were only like 4 or 5 fleas and not a ton of them, but that's all it takes for Bax to swell up and get little rashes all over.
aaaaaaand the flea pills are $22 a pill. WHAT?? thankfully the vet gave me two for the price of one this time, so Bella could have one too.
At sephora I bought the sephora collection natural eye shadow palette, and 2 of the seohora eyeliners..... Not that I remember what they are called lol
Have you seen Wall-e?? Please say you have!
Saturday-- I worked my last Saturday!! I now have 1 day a week off, thank you very much. Lol. After work I had a picnic on base with the BF. We were at a park, and there was a bald eagle perched in a tree very close to us. We were joking that it doesn't get more American than that.
Sunday-- I worked all day. Went grocery shopping. And then made it home in time to watch Army wives and then go to bed.

Rdr your nephew is so adorable!!!!
This weekend was AWESOME, I went to Maine for my friend's 30th's birthday. Six girls just drinking and eating in the sun all weekend, it was perfection. My friend said it was the best birthday of her life, which is good because she's having a really hard time with turning 30. We were super sad to leave yesterday.
Today is her actual birthday and she is coming over to hang out with my sister and I tonight and watch one of our favorite movies, Across the Universe. I'm making dinner, which is actually more like 2 of her favorite appetizers - fried eggplant with tomato and fresh mozzarella slices, and baked buffalo chicken rangoons - should be fun
If the rangoons make the cut I will be making them for @rdr716 and @BriSox81 THIS WEEKEND!!!! :P
