Cake!

So we met with a cake lady today which went really well. She gave us samples in the form of cupcakes and it was excellent! She's very reasonably priced as well. I think we're going to meet with someone else next week just to get other ideas and pricing but I was very impressed with this lady. This is a picture of what I want my cake to look like, only mine will have roses.

**Note - I posted part of this joke earlier but I added the rest so I can't rob you of this one.

Joke of the Day: I tried to walk into Target, but I missed. I think the entrance to Target should have people splattered all around. Then I finally walk in, the guy says, "Can I help you?" "Just practicing!" - MH

Two bedroom house

Joke of the Day: I bought a house, it's a two-bedroom house. But I think it's up to me how many bedrooms there are, don't you? Forget you, real estate lady, this bedroom has an oven in it. This bedroom has a lot of people sitting around watching TV. This bedroom is over in that guy's house. "Sir, you've got one of my bedrooms, are you aware? Don't decorate it." - Mitch Hedberg

I should be in bed right now but I'm not. I worked for a good chunk of the day today and then went to the house. John grilled some chicken for us which was good. Then we sat in our basement and watched Finding Nemo. John hooked up some surround sound which made it even better. I'm very much enjoying owning a home and putting lots of work into it but it's hard not being able to live there for another THREE MONTHS!! I guess I'll manage.

Mom and I will meet with a cake lady today. I'm very excited about getting everything done. I really just want the day to be here already.

I ain't no Mac, I'm a Peter-built!

I've been wanting to post these pics and just haven't gotten around to it yet...but here they are.

Mmm...Peter loves his food!
Giddy up Cubby!

In the S-th

Joke of the Day: When I play the South, they say "ya'll" in the South. They take out the "O" and the "U". So when I'm in the South I try to talk like that so people understand me. "Hello, can I have a bowl of chicken noodle s-p? Come on, I'm in the South, you understand. I mean I'm in the Sth, and I want some s-p!" "I stubbed my toe, -ch!" "I need to lay down on the c-ch!" "I need to get the heck -t of the S-th!" - Mitch Hedberg

I thought Aunt Dee and Hannah would enjoy this one. Love ya'll! ;)

Random Ramblings

I'm feeling very in love right now while listening to this song. I can close my eyes and just dream. I love it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs7tUAXZVTw&feature=related
A little cheesy I know, but I've always loved this kind of stuff.

Yesterday my mom and I picked out the flowers for my wedding! It was a little difficult because I didn't really know what I wanted...well, I did but there were so many different ways to do it that it was a bit overwhelming. But I figured it out and I think it'll be really pretty.

Today John and I are going to work on our house some more. We'll be working all weekend actually since I don't have to work at Target. Speaking of work...I really need prayer right now for a promotion that I'm going for. It's a clerical position so I would be doing something that's closer to what I really want to do, even though it's still at Target. But I've heard that quite a few people have applied for it so I would really appreciate ya'll praying. It's something that I really desire to do and it would be so much better than what I'm doing now AND it would be a raise. So please pray.

Oxymoron of the Day: Today at work, I was putting out the clothes that came in on the truck. In the girls department both swimsuits and winter coats came in. Winter?! Yuck!

Joke of the Day: "I think they could take sesame seeds off the market, and I wouldn’t even care. I can’t imagine five years from now saying, “Damn, remember sesame seeds? What happened? All the buns are blank!” They’re gonna have to change that McDonald’s song, “Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a … bun.” How does a sesame seed stick to a bun? Thats magical! There’s got to be some sesame seed glue out there! Either that or they’re adhesive on one side. Take the sesame seed out, remove the backing, place it on the bun. Now your bun will look spectacular! What does a sesame seed grow into? I dunno, we never give them a chance. What is a ses-a-me? It's a street. It's a way to open shit." - Mitch Hedberg

*Boom*

Here are pictures from the fireworks. These first ones are for you Hannah, me and each of my sisters being the bomb.com. The pictures of actual fireworks were taken when John and I went to Forest Hills Central...it was quite a show.

Better late than never

Well this is a little late, sorry mom. But HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! Her birthday was on July 4. I was so busy getting things done on my house that I completely forgot to update this thing, but no worries, I did remember to tell her happy birthday that day.

Quick Update

This has to be quick cause I gotta get to bed but John and I closed on our house today! I'll post pictures of the inside later. After we worked around the outside a little bit, pulling weeds and stuff, we went to the fireworks at Forest Hills Central. It was a great show and I'll put those pictures up later too. Night.

Flood of the Century

Because of the bad storms we had tonight this is what happened to our driveway area. I've never seen anything like this, my parents and my grandparents haven't either. Thankfully we think our driveway will be okay but my cousin's driveway is completely washed out. In one of the pictures you can see that the guardrail was completely pushed back almost over the bank. On the brightside we had our very own Niagra Falls...

To the right, to the right...
...to the right, to the right.
To the left, to the left...
...to the left, to the left.
Now kick, now kick, now kick, now kick...just kidding, this is over the driveway.

This is Sarah standing in it.

This is in the "meadow." Notice the three streams flowing into one "pond."
