Our lovely family is growing! Big big big congratulations to Jake and Hannah who got engaged last night YAY!!!

 

Here are so very poor quality photos from the actual proposal. The conditions [the pouring rain] did not provide for the best photo op - but Lindsey did manage to snap these action shots.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIZABETH!!!

I think you are pretty much da bomb!

March Madness

It has struck my office. Maybe madness is strong of a word, regardless there have been some funny happenings today.

It all started this morning when a coworker had a head on collision with her office door, that resulted in a bloody nose. In her defense the door is glass - and not usually closed. I kindly informed her that she could star in the next windex commercial and give those silly birds a break for once.

Then, seriously not even ten minutes later a client ran into our front office door. This time there was no blood, but there may have been loss of pride, he was pretty embarrassed. I shall set the scene, this is the entry to the office, from the inside looking out. In the morning both doors are closed - in the afternoon they are usually like the picture, one open and one closed (it gets warm and I have to get a little air flow).

So the client gets off the elevator, walks forward right into the closed side of the door [which is locked...always is, don't really know why]. After he runs into the door he stepped back and then struggled, shaking and shoving the door, trying to force the door open. All the while I was trying to explain to him over her loud shoving of the door that the other side was standing open. Finally he understood, and felt a little silly. But I was able to assure him that he is not the only one to struggle with out doors. It is a daily problem. About 40% of the people that come into our office try to pull the doors open - even though it is pretty clearly marked at eye level to PUSH.

The final bit of madness would be when I went into my bosses office to give him a tax return, and didn't end up leaving for the next 40 or so minutes. He was watching the Memphis Arizona game, and you know, I had been following the live scores online, but watching it was WAY better.

Happy Friday!

Last night we hopped over to the cheap theater to see Tangled in 3D. So FUN! I loved it. Which may be no surprise to some of you and a huge surprise to others. Generally I dislike/just flat out don't watch maybe even refuse to watch animated movies. But times have changed people within the last year I saw TWO animated films. But then again who didn't see Toy Story 3?

3D glasses are just super cool!!

Anyhow the movie was really cute and really funny, we laughed lots. I do however think that the princesses real name may be Greta [reference to Monday nights Chuck episode], because she definitely had an intersect moment where she flashed and discovered who she really was.

On the St. Patrick's day front, it is year another year where NONE of my coworkers are wearing green. It is tragic.

And I could really go for a Shamrock shake right about now.

anchors away

For nearly as many years as Angela and I have been friends we have been talking about a vacation. A certain type of vacation to be exact. We have embarked on many a road trip, cross country visits, city explorations, hometown visits, trips to a national park and even camping trip. Even still this one vacation has evaded us. Until last year I was the one holding up the process -with my whole having no passport problem. But without that excuse holding us back, it was time to make it happen. Last night, with passports in hand:

[Angela is clearly the better photographer of the two of us]

We did it. We booked our CRUISE!!! Mexico here we come.

cakes from a pan

That was a fancy/silly way of saying pancakes.....in case you didn't understand. Yesterday was national pancake day. Did you celebrate? Angela and I of course did. We love us some holidays. The temptation of FREE things is always a plus too. So we rendezvoused at IHOP for a late dinner of breakfast.

Now that pancake day has passed for this year we can look forward to national Doughnut day on June 3rd [free doughnuts at Krispy Kreme] and 7-11 day on none other than July 11th [ free slurpees!!].

minor milestones

One month down.

SA-WEET!!!

Of course it is the shortest month of the year.

But still, it's a month.

I think I shall celebrate with some Thin Mints.

Thank You girl scouts!

Next milestone will be the half way mark.

Only 1.75 more months or 41 days to go.
