Emily and Chris

After two very crazy, busy weekends in a row, it was nice to have one that was a little more laid back… Here’s a run down of our weekend…

Rebecca came home and got to meet baby Brie.  It was relly nice to see her again!  I miss her when she is gone!

It was Edythe’s Birthday.  We got her a really cool book called The Oxford Project.  It is so interesting!  Phil had a migraine and had to stay in bed all day Saturday.  We went out to dinner and The Sandtrap and had great food with horrible service.  We ate huge cupcakes for dessert

After dinner with the family, we picked Zach up and had a few beers and watched some funny things on TV and just hung out a little.

We watched several movies this weekend.  I really liked Mrs. Henderson Present and recommend it if you liked Calendar Girls and/or The Full Monty.  We rewatched Iron Man… Which totally rocks!  And American Gangster.  This movie was okay… Not my favorite and very very long!

Sunday we had a big lunch since Rebecca was leaving early and then more cupcakes!  We just hung out after that.  I did some homework and Chris hung out with Phil.

Chris ordered a new computer!  I am so excited for him!

I know that it doesn’t sound very exciting… But it was a really nice weekend!

Got some new pictures of how much our girls like each other now.

I think that Tilly likes Brie about 95% of the time.  Sometime she is jealous though….

We got a new puppy today!  Her name is Brie.  She is a cream/apricot dachshund.  I already put pictures up on our gallery.  She is SO cute!  We were really worried about her and Tilly getting along, but they love each other already!  They have been playing every minute that the baby has been awake.  We are so happy to have her.  I’m sure I’ll have a lot tp update soon!

I am so happy with my little life again.  Now that school isn’t stressing me out for 5 minutes   Today I spent the afternoon at my baby cousins 7th birthday party.  12 screaming little girls and boys.  I love it!  It is one of the things that lets me know that I will love being a teacher.

After the party we went out to dinner with Edythe and Phil at “The Sand Trap”.  We haven’t been there for a long time and it was SO good tonight!  I had a burger called “The Trap” and it had spicy hot-wing sauce and melty bleu cheese on it!  It was a great night.  We were in a nice place with good food and even better company.  So far… a great weekend!

I’m sure that everyone who ever looks at this site already knows what we’ve been up to, but just thought I would drop a line.

The most important thing is that I was finally able to register for my classes.  I am sure everyone is sick of listening to me talk about how hard it was and why, if you don’t know and are interested let me know Anyway, it is finally takin care of (only one whole week into the semester) and I’ll be able to start attending classes on Monday.  The bad news is 1) I had to withdraw from band.  It is sad to me that I will no longer be a band geek, but there is just no way to fit it in my schedule or make it work. 2) It is pushing back my graduation date.  I will have to go one more semester (instead of Spring 2010 it will be Fall 2011).

I got my eyeliner touched up.  It hurt SO bad!  My eyes look fabulous though   I also got a new hair cut, just a trim and some bangs.

We have been completely addicted to the Sopranos lately.  We have watched almost the entire series since Christmas.  If you haven’t wathced the show, I highly recommend it!  It is so easy to get emotionally invested in the characters.  One of the things I thought was most interesting about the series is that they keep the same actors, even the little children, through all 7 season (1-6, but 6 has two parts).  Also, if you have watched the show, did you know that the guy that plays Silvio is in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band?  And his wife on the show, is his wife in real life!  Read about it!

Chris got me the coolest game for Christmas!  It is called “Little Big Planet” and it is one of the most creative things I have ever seen!  It has the cutest little people in it and very unique and innovative levels.  It is SO fun!

Ridiculously Cute!

Phil’s birthday was on the 13th.  He is SO hard to shop for.  We really did it this year though.  Rebecca, Chris and I went in together on a SkyScout.  It is a person planetarium.  You can point it at a star and it will tell you (with a voice!) what star you are looking at, what constellation it is, the size, distance from Earth etc.  Also, you can tell it what you want to look at and it will show you where to point it in the sky to look at it.  It is SO cool!  I think that Phil will really enjoy it.

So… that’s it!

I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas.  We had a very nice Christmas with dinners, breakfasts and presents with both families.  It was nice to spend time with everyone.  We received many (MANY) very nice presents that we are very thankful for.  Of course, the blizzard kinda put a cramp in things…  We have gotten right around 18 inches of snow in two days!  It has been like living in a snow globe!  Tilly hates it!  She gets lost in the snow!  I hope had a fabulous holiday and that everyone is safe!

On an unrelated note, most of my grades are posted… 1 A, 1 B, and 3 B+’s! I’m still waiting on one grade and to be able to register for classes next semester.
