RECAP of the last week or so

Things have been super busy over here! Brian has been working really hard doing the bazillion things on his plate. I have been working, taking care of our child (haha!), trying to keep our house in order, and doing random things that we never seem to get done! My sis is getting married this weekend so I'm pretty excited about seeing my whole extended family! Some of them I haven't seen since my wedding! We had a really nice weekend, I actually got my hair cut =) I went to the John Clark Salon in Springdale and Kim cut my hair. She was super nice and did a good job. I recommend her! Today I went and worked out at the HPER instead of going to group exercise classes. After I did some cardio I headed over to the weight machines and let me tell you how embarrassing it is to not know how to operate the machines!!!!! Apparently they got all new machines in there not too long ago and so when I went today, I had no idea where things were or how to use this particular one:



(i met him at the gym..haha..just kidding!)

I tried for a few minutes to adjust the height..couldn't figure it out and couldn't bend forward at all, so I left that one, then I saw this girl about my size using the machine and so i went over there right after she was done and tried to do what she was doing. Still couldn't bend over and it was on the lowest weigh--20 lbs. I thought surely I'm missing something important!!!!! NOPE turns out that Michelle is just that much of a weanie!!!! I had to leave the stinkin machine b/c I couldn't even do the lightest weight! Pathetic. I think I have a lot of work to do before I am strong! =)

Anyways...that was very random! All is good over here...and I will take lots of pics of the wedding this weekend! love you all!!!! M&B



(us last year at a razorback game)

AWESOME WEEKEND!!!!

Had a really great weekend!!! Friday night I went to the Mountie football game with the Mincks fam while Brian coached. The rain held off and we had a great time! I've decided that kids can be really entertaining! Then on Saturday, well, the only bad part of my weekend: I was so excited about getting a haircut b/c I really needed one and I made an appointment for 11:00 am on Sat. at the place I went to last time. I get here about 10 min till. Around 11:10 this girl asked me if I had an appointment and I said yes, with Whitney at 11:00. Then around 11:25 I'm officially very annoyed b/c I'm still sitting there and no one has let me know whats going on or how long its going to be. So UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! Then I decided the girl had 3 minutes to redeem herself and I was out of there. So I ended up just walking out. Didn't even tell anyone...decided that they could figure it out! I was so mad! I might give them a call on Monday and let them know. So now I'm back to square one with finding someone to cut my hair. There is a woman I absolutely love in Rogers but I just don't want to drive that far now that we are in Farmington....but at least she wouldn't leave me hanging!!! Anyways! The moral is...don't go to the "Kutting Krew" in Farmington. They STINK! Then we tooke Moses to the VET for a routine shot later that afternoon. Then we got all pretty and met some new friends for dinner and then met up with Brock and Lauren later and stayed at their house WAY TOO LATE! Church was awesome this morning. It was so amazing to have our own place and not have to set up or tear down. PC preached a great message! Then we went to Las Fajitas with the Krouts, Crows, and the Wilsons and ate WAY TOO MUCH!!!! Lost the soccer game today. Hasn't been a great season =( But thats ok!!! and the countdown to meg's wedding is 1 week 6 days!!! ahhhh! My lil' sis is getting hitched!!!! can't believe it!!!!!!!!!! =) This is kind of a run-on random blog so sorry if your bored! Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure! haha! Us before we went out on Friday night and got soaked! I kept trying to take pics of me and Moses but he wouldn't stay still!!!

Moses

Haven't talked about our child in a while!!! He's been doing really good! It cracks me up b/c he is so accident prone and I make fun of Brian and tell him that he gets it from him. For example, Moses and I were playing outside with the soccer ball and I kicked it and he chased it and was running so fast, that he kinda tripped and sprained his leg or something. He limped for about 3 days before he could walk normaly. SOOO my husband!!! haha! We are having a big problem with him jumping on people. We tried ignoring him when we get home until he sits or lays down and then giving him attention and that sorta works, but he still jumps randomly on us at home. Then, when we have people over he always jumps on them b/c he is so excited. And I hate that!!!! I know people don't want a dog jumping all over them! I want to take him to obedience school but its pretty expensive! Thats really the only thing that he does that I don't like. He knows how to sit, stay, and shake. He's pretty good at coming on command too. But the jumping thing is driving us nuts!! Any suggestions???? Here are some cute pics of Moses:

MOVING ON.....

Today was the last day that Keypoint Church had sevices at Tucker Elementary school. We have been there for about 2.5 years!!! We are finally getting into our own building. I don't think it has sunk in yet that I no longer have to get to church at 7:00 am and then work my rear off for 2 hours to help get things set up for the services. Not to mention the hour or so of tear down and loading that we do after service as well. We end up being there from 7:00 am till about 1:30. That makes for LONG DAY. But, it was all definitely worth it. We have met so many incredible people and gotten to know so many awesome people by doing that. However, showing up at 10:45 am for the second service will sure be nice!!!!! I stole this picture from Josh's blog (thanks, Josh!). One last memory of our church at Tucker:

LUAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, on Saturday night we went to our 2nd annual couples LUAU at V & C's house. It was so much fun!!!!! Yummy food, limbo, hula hoop, let me correct myself--Josh hula hooping, one of the funniest things I've ever seen!!!! Seriously, if you missed it, you need to ask for a personal show =) It's THAT FUNNY!!!! Anyways, here are some random pics from that night:

sooooo

sorry we haven't updated in a while. Its been a NASTY week. First week of school=nitemare at work. I'll spare you stories about the RUDE parents and EVIL students. I'm just glad that I made it through!!! I'm pretty excited about this weekend! Tommy and Amber are driving up as we speak to hang out tonight and tomorrow. And then tomorrow night we have a hangout with our group from church. It will be a blast! =)

Hershey, PA

We traveled to Hershey, PA on Wed. morning. It is only 2 1/2 hours from D.C. Unfortunately, we weren't quite paying attention to all the signs and got a little lost...so it was more like a 5 hour drive!!! OOPS!!! Anyways...we went on a tour of a chocolate factory, saw a 3D chocolate show, took a trolley tour, went to the Chocolate World Amusement and Water Park, and ate lots of chocolate of course!! Super Super fun!!! I recommend it for a family vacation!!! =) Here is the link for the Album :

See ya'll!

D.C. So Far.

We had a very eventful day today! We went to the Spy Museum, the National Building Museum, The Ford Theatre, and the House Where Lincoln Died. And of course, we made a stop at Starbucks. To see a photo album of the pics I have taken so far, please visit this sight:

Even if you haven't joined Facebook, you can still view the pics! Much easier than posting them all on here! If you've never been to D.C., I highly recommend it! =) Have a great Wednesday!!! =)

First Day in D.C.

Well I finally made it!!! What was supposed to be 5 hour trip turned into a 10 hour trip and I didn't think I was ever going to get here. My flight out of XNA got cancelled b/c the flight before us had to take our plane b/c their's was damaged. NICE. Instead of waiting in the long line at the ticket counter, I called the air lines on my cell phone and got on the next flight out of XNA at 4:15 (mine was supposed to leave at 12:35). Its a good thing that I called because when the 4th person in front of me finally got to the counter, the next plane was booked! So, I spent from 11:30 until 4:00 in the XNA airport. That was REAL cool. But in between all that, I couldn't get a hold of my husband and I didn't know why. Turns out that his phone, wallet, and keys were stolen in Wal Mart!!!! But thank God after like an hour a cashier randomly found his stuff in another cart across the store. Nothing was taken from his wallet and his phone and keys were with it too. WEIRD. But we were both panicking!!! So I arrived in DC around 10:00 PM. My sister and I have this funny thing where we call each other MILDRED when we are in front of strangers. It's ok if you don't think this is funny...but I promise it's HILARIOUS!! She made a sign that said "Mildred Anderson" and was holding it up when I was coming from the plane. HA. She got me good.
Today we went to churc at National Community Church. It is a church with three locations and the one we met in was in a movie theatre. It was really neat and the service was awesome! Plus, the seats were WAY comfy!!!! Then we went and ate at GUAPOS mexican restaurant. Very good. And tonight we are going to see the BOURNE SUPREMACY. Here are some pics from today:

Does our Dog need a friend????

So...are two dogs better than one?? Brian and I have been discussing the possibility of acquiring a friend for Moses. We just both feel kinda bad because he is outside by himself a lot. While this is better than being cooped up in a kennel, I still feel bad sometimes leaving him all alone to play by himself. The thing is, he's really not that sociable with other dogs. He actually prefers cats. Weirdo! I even went and looked at the Animal Shelter after work today b/c I saw a really cute puppy online at PETFINDER but he had already been adopted. I just don't know if I can see us with two dogs. One dog is a whole lot of work, well it was a whole lot of work until recently. Now that he is potty trained, dew claw free, neutered, and staying outside while we are gone, it has been a breeze. He must wear himself out pretty good b/c all he does is sleep when we let him in now. Not to mention the fact that he sleeps all night in his bed and I have to carry him outside in the mornings b/c he's too lazy to get up and go outside. So, maybe he is playing enough by himself then?? Any thoughts??

Also, my sister and her fiancee', Doug's honeymoon plans have fell through, any body know of any good honeymooning places in Florida??? A picture of the happy couple:

Baby Clopton

This afternoon we had a baby shower for Becky Clopton. It was a ton of fun and she got a lot of awesome presents for baby clopton! Congrats John and Becky--we love you guys!!!! =)



Here are a bunch of us after the shower, we are missing a few girls who had to leave right after =(




Becky playing one of the games

Screaming Deal!!!!!!!!

I got an AWESOME deal this week and I found it on CRAIG'S LIST. This chick from Fayetteville is moving and was selling all of her DVD's for WAY CHEAP. I got 28 DVD's for less than $100!!!!!!!!!!!! Before this, we only owned about 10 movies, and they were Brian's before we got married so not really to my liking. We are always looking for movie deals on EBAY but their combo movie packs always have so many movies that we don't care to have. This chick let me pick and choose which ones I wanted. I got a ton of girly movies and action ones for Brian. I was super pumped!!!!! I've already watched three =)

Hubby is Home!!!! =)

Brian is home!!!! Yay!!! =) I helped drive a vehicle to pick up the kids at Dry Gulch this morning. It seemed like a pretty cool little camp. I am so glad to have my hubby home though! I hate staying alone (thankfully, so does Lauren!) and my dog's high maintenence situation wore me out! We are just chillin tonight, doing some laundry and some cleaning, not much else going on. Have a GREAT MONDAY!!! =)

Flying Solo

I am flying solo this weekend. Brian is at the Dry Gulch camp with the kid's at church. He is having a blast playing all day. He said its been awesome! Lauren is also flying solo this weekend so we went to Hugo's for dinner--we both tried the spinach crepes--delicious!, rented some movies, grabbed some coffee and headed back to my house to watch our movies:





Music and Lyrics was kinda a bummer. I don't recommend it. Now, we also discovered that we both are fascinated with silly teenage movies. Hence, John Tucker Must Die. We both also loved the movie, Mean Girls. So we took advantage of husband's having no say in the movie choice and got it!!! It was better than the first and pretty funny. I had a really fun girl night!!!! =)
