This is a photo of me and my good friend, and roommate from college, Tiffany. Obviously, this is from her wedding. She got married a couple of months after me. When we were roommates in the dorm, every once in a while, we would go out for dinner or go shopping together and call it "roommate bonding time." It was so much fun rooming with her and she really made my college experience great and memorable.
This is a picture of our kitty, Gertie, when she was just a baby kitten. We got her at the Humane Society the week after our wedding. We got her with some of our wedding money, so she's a living wedding present! We absolutely adore her. She's so darn cute. She's our chatty kitten. You can say something to her and she will answer you in her kitty language. She's very lovey and she purrs really loudly. We just love her!
This is a picture from my wedding, taken four years ago! Lindsay was my Maid of Honor and I was hers in her recent wedding. All us girls in this photo went to high school together! I was so glad that we were all able to get together for my wedding. Brittanie (far left) was the first to get married, I was the second, and Lindsay and Kitty both got married this year. So we are all married ladies now! We all have to face the fact we are grown-ups now!
My husband is 100% Finnish, so his dad bought Mason this cute hat. It was kind of big for him here, but it fit him longer than most of his other hats that I had bought him.
I am still trying to catch up, so I'm finding older pictures that I just want to share. This is a picture of the four generations on my dad's side. My grandma, my dad, me and my son Mason. He was only about a month old here. I look at him and I wish he was still this little. I miss when he would just sleep and cuddle in my arms.
It seems Mason is learning things so quickly now! Every day I notice that he's able to do something new. His thing on this day was playing with his Duplo Legos. He's had them since his first birthday, but he hasn't really been able to actually put them together and build something. Not anymore! He spent the better part of a half an hour putting together his Duplos on the window ledge. I even got a video of him playing. We had a great time building together!
I haven't updated in awhile, so I thought I should attempt to make up for lost time.
This is a picture from the bachelorette party I went to the evening of the fourth. The bride, Jennifer, is on the far right. The maid of honor, Alyssa, is on the left. We had a really fun time. We ate dinner at Rock Bottom Brewery, which was delicious! Then we found ourselves at the Shout House. I had never been there before and I had a really fun time. I will definitely go back there again! We finished the night at Sneaky Pete's, where we all succeeded in getting very drunk. The bride woke up the next day not feeling too great, so I say the evening was a success!
Mason hasn't been that interested in coloring until very recently. Usually, when we'd go to a restaurant and he'd get a few crayons, all he was interested in was putting them in his mouth. But the last couple of times we've been out, he's actually tried to color. So, I got him this Cars coloring book and it came with nice big, fat crayons. He actually made quite a few marks on the paper today before he bit the tip off of the red crayon. I think he realized it didn't taste very good, because once I got that out of his mouth, he didn't try it again. He just started sticking them up his nose!
I don't like the theme for today, so I'm going to talk about this lovely couple in the picture. This is actually from May of 2007 and they are at a surprise birthday party that was held at my house for my brother's 19th birthday. This is Andrew and Jennifer. I have known Andrew since he was in about fifth grade. I used to babysit him and his brother. He was a freshman when I was a senior in high school, so I've had plenty of opportunities to give him a hard time! :)
Andrew and Jennifer met at Mankato State and have been engaged for quite some time now. They are finally getting married this month and my husband and I are both in the wedding. Their bachelor/bachelorette parties are this weekend and I'm so excited! The girls are getting dressed up and going out to dinner in Minneapolis, then barhopping and staying in a hotel downtown. It's going to be so fun! The guys are going to go to a Twins game, go to dinner, then come back to our house for some video games and drinks. The wedding is on the 25th and we can't wait! It's about time!
I don't think I could pick just one kind of candy that's my favorite, so I chose three. First up, Haribou Grapefruit candy. It's gummy, kinda sour and delicious! I discovered it in a random candy shop during high school and have loved it ever since. Whenever I see it somewhere, I have to get some, because it's not very common.
Next up, Sour Cherry Balls. I first had these from Widman's candy store in Crookston, MN. I love their sweet and sour taste. I also love the color. They just look delicious, shiny and red. Beautiful candy.
Lastly, I have chosen Chocolate Nonpariels. I love most things chocolate, but these are probably my true favorite chocolate candy. My mom also loves these, which is probably why I have grown to enjoy their tasty goodness as well.
