Super Love

"Bad things happen, but you can still live."

How was your weekend? Mine was great. My hubby and I got to spend some much needed time together. We went and saw Super 8 and I’ll just say its super great. Ya gotta see it! It made me feel like a kid again. It was like an awesome Goonies and E.T. mashup. Anyway…that’s all I’ll say. If you do see it, let me know what you think.

This pic is a nod to my friend, Amy, who is helping me with my making my blog shnazzy. I took some pics from the night but then for some reason I took a pic of my feet. Amy does cute things like that (among many other talents). Afterwards I noticed how much she’s influencing me. :) Check out her blog here!---AMYLOUWHO 

I was at my sister’s house last night. She’s such beautiful person, inside and out. She took the task of being a big sister with full care and responsibility. I’m so thankful to have her. Through the years she has managed to be my role model, therapist, encourager, rival, teacher, best friend, peacemaker, financial adviser…and she did/does it all while still being ridiculously fun. I guess she learned that from Mom. We had our fights, no doubt, but I honestly don’t remember them nearly as much as I remember all of our good and dorky-to-the-core moments. Just a sweet thought about my sister that I gotta share. I could be off on the dates but she was about 13 and I was 6, she didn’t have money to buy me a birthday present. She wasn’t really crafty but she knew I loved my Barbies so she sewed me little Barbie clothes. How sweet is that? It really touches my heart that she took the time to do that for me. Of course, being 6…I was bratty and didn’t appreciate the clothes at all. I know…I was a mean kid. If it matters, I appreciate it NOW!

Do you have a sibling or best friend that you’ve stuck with through thick and thin since you were young? Realistically, I get that it’s possible for our bond to be damaged. I pray that it doesn’t. However, we’re messy people with messy lives. Ya never know…but I do know it can never be broken.

    That's awesome! You decribed that movie very similarly to one of my favorite bloggers! You should definitely go check out her post! Here's the link: http://amyschmamey.blogspot.com/2011/06/super-8.html
    She's another awesome Amy! Lol! ;)
    Your sister sounds amazing! I really wish I had a sister. I have one younger brother and he is joining the Navy. We are close, but not that close. I'm really going to miss him though. I'm having a hard time thinking about him leaving.

    I really love Amylou and her blog! She is a fantatic blogger. I am really liking what I see here too! New follower. I think it was your hubs that commented on my Super 8 blog! I THOUGHT THAT WAS SUPER COOL! :) I am also glad that we agree on the movie. I am going to try and see it again on Saturday. :) Can't wait! P.S. Me and my sis are close now, but when we were kids she hated me and we fought like cats and dogs. ha. Now I love her so much!

Well, the in-laws left yesterday morning and we had so much fun with them while they were here.  Eli is wild and hilariously fun.  It was a big adjustment having a two year old in our house for a week.  Our home isn't really child-proof and we are used to making plans, coming and going, without having to worry about attitudes and nap times.  It was interesting to say the least.  I love that kid.  He's so sweet in nature.  When he hugged me bye this morning, he just staying in my arms for a lil longer than your average hug.  I almost teared up and it was nice to just hold him.  His mom and dad are doing a great job raising him.  I'm looking forward to our next visit. OH! My sweet sister in law made me these rings! She's so talented. :) I hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day!!! Do you have any favorite moments from the weekend? One of my favorite moments was my family sitting at the dinner table singing Queen and humming the Star Wars Theme Song.

Well, hello! Notice something different? Yup! I got a shnazzy new layout.  All thanks and love goes to Amy .  She's is so sweet to have taken the time out to do this for me.  I was blown away with the transition.  She has so many talents, including photography. If you don't know Amy, you're missing out so... Check her out ! Aside from drooling over my freshly designed blog, I've been preparing the house for our guests. They'll be here tomorrow!!!! I can't wait.  I'll also be cooking for them but NOT experimenting. Hahaha! I'm only using Jon as my guinea pig (btw, had a random dream last night that I owned a guinea pig. Random.).  Anyway, he doesn't seem to mind. I started asking him to grade it from 1-10 and so far I haven't been under 7. Woot! What I cook is easy to make and it's usually quick.  I would share them but the crappy part is, I don't measure the ingredients.  I don't like to. I just estimate. UNLESS I'm baking. Th

The Door

The Door , a photo by silverspeak7 on Flickr. I snapped this pic yesterday at an abandoned house near my work. Jon loved it so much and when he found out where I took it, he suggested we look around some day. It's so run down but really beautiful. There's another home, plantation style, I'd love to look at but I found out that it's not abandoned and a recluse lives there. There's no electricity or anything. It's hard for me to imagine living like that. That house is HUGE. I always imagine some horror story. Anyway that's all for today. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)
