Thanks Ladies!

I feel so special to know that my dearest cousins Ashley and Danielle are ALSO checking my uneventful life out via my blog.... Here is the latest in my life...
1. I got in a fender bender car accident last weekend and earned $1, 279.00 in insurance money for damage to my front and rear bumpers. I am NOT fixing my car because it isn't that bad and we'd rather put the money to good use. Yippee!

2. My basement painting job is now on coat #3....recommendation...never paint with red....it takes FOREVER to cover.
3. Lukas and I are trying to decide what to do on October 18th to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary....any suggestions!?
4. Looking forward to hosting a bridal shower for Candy and a baby shower for Danielle in the coming months....let the planning begin!

5. Classes at Hamline are going very well and my 5th graders are awesome this year. I am exhausted at the end of the day but I like to think I am releasing all my positive energy at school and that I've earned the right to be tired.

That's it for now...it's not much, but better than nothing! Here are some photos for your viewing enjoyment.....

Celebrating at Sarah and Chad's Wedding



This is my first carrot cake...baked from scratch by yours truly using carrots from my dad's garden!

Reed and Chelsea came to visit me on my birthday with her mom's new puppy, Tinka. My sisters and mom celebrated with me, too but we didn't get any pics together....bummer!


Here is the damage to my car after getting rear-ended...


Happy Birthday to my friend, Jen, who celebrated at our house last weekend!!! This is her with our flower girl, Kaelin, who is getting sooo big!

And lastly, Thanks to my sister Candace for coming over last weekend to do some cutting and coloring for Em, Jen and I. Yay!!!
