Stupid Squirrels

We did have a bird feeder. I say did because of the stupid squirrels in our neighborhood. I guess I should call them smart because instead of just stretching for the birdseed like the pictures below show. They climbed on top of the bird feeder and chewed through the rope holding it up, causing it to fall and break open so they could just sit and eat to their content.

Friday Five

It's that time...Friday Five....I promise a picture post soon!!!!!!!!

5.We found out yet ANOTHER one of our friends is pregnant! Is anyone else seeing a pattern?!?!? We now have 3 special ones joining us this fall..The Sink baby (not ours) in September, the Garner baby in November and then this bundle of joy in December!!!!!!!! I better start my shopping!!!!!!!!!!

4.This weekend is the Stawberry Festival and I'm planning on enjoying a big piece of Strawberry shortcake in a few hours!

3.We got to hang out with Brandon and Megan last weekend for a bit. It's been awhile since we hung out..so it was really good to see them!

2.I got to have dinner last night with one of my best friends! Katie and I did our monthly Harrisonburg meeting! I always leave dinner so happy and bummed! Happy b/c I just had the best time ever and bummed b/c we live so far away! I love you!

1.Randy and I are both off today! That NEVER happens! So we're going to be lazy and then run errands!

Friday Five

Ok....so it's that time of the week....here's my top five!!!

5. I get off two hours early today....we made our goals for the month of March at work so we got 2 hours of administrative leave. I leave at 3:30 on the Fridays that I actually work anyway, so today, I'll be saying bye at 1:30!!!!!!! ROCK ON!


4. I'm feeling way less stressed about the house situation than before. I know we'll sell our's, eventually. And I know we'll find one we love, eventually! It's all in His plan and His timing...so I'm chilling out about it...better said then done...but it's working for today, so we'll go with it! :)


3.I haven't had a migraine for at least 2 months. I used to have migraines at least once a week due to clenching my teeth at night. I even had a mouth piece (that was ruining all that braces did) to keep me from clenching. I stopped wearing the mouth piece, I stopped clenching as hard, and the headaches have subsidded for now. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm much happier when I'm not grumpy with a hurting head:) haha!


2. I GET TO SEE ANDREA AND JULIA-ROSE TODAY! Yes...our date from last week has been rescheduled and I can't wait! It's been getting me through the week!


1. And last but not least........................James and Heather had their baby girl Peyton at 5:26 last night! Megan just texted me this morning and that's all the info I have....but you can bet there will be a post dedicated to this precious little girl and her parents later on this weekend, so stay tuned!


Alright...time to go get ready for work! Enjoy your Friday, post your five and have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two Special Days

So, today is Ryan's Birthday! Happy Birthday Ryan!!!! Usually the gang celebrates Ryan's birthday together. The past few years Randy and I, along with Brandon and Megan, have headed up to Herndon to spend the weekend in DC with Ryan and Lindsey! It's always such a great time and we have so many special memories from our trips: Randy and I getting engaged, Getting lost in the ghetto, ESPNZone, the zoo, putt-putt, Spiderman Masks...the list could go on and on!!!

While we miss our weekends in DC, we know that Ryan and Lindsey are having a great time in Vienna!!! We love you guys and miss you so much!!

Enjoy your birthday abroad, Ryan! :)

Last Friday was Devon's birthday! I'm bummed I didn't get to celebrate with Devon's family, but I wasn't feeling great on Sunday. Devon's birthday tradition is usually Randy and I hanging out with his entire family! It's always a great time and I think they've actually kinda adopted us as family! My fav of the group has to be Devon's granddad....I love it when he falls asleep sitting at the table! :) hahaha!!

D...Hope you had a great birthday and welcome to being a quarter of a century old...whew...it's rough huh!!!:)

Friday Five

There hasn't been much going on this week, so there haven't been any posts since last Friday's top five! Sorry! Maybe this week will hold more adventure....Anyway....let's get to business and today's Friday Five...

5. Today, I have the day off! I am currently still in my pj's and in bed!!! It's awesome!!!!!!!

4. Tonight Randy and I are having dinner with some of my favorite people, James and Jennifer!! We don't get to hang out with them enough. I've mentioned James and Jenn previously on the blog. James went to high school with Randy and I met James at the mall, before I even knew Randy! He's been one of my great friends for awhile now and Jenn has become equally as important to me! I love our dinners together..never a dull moment!!!

3. I got to have a wonderful phone conversation with my cousin, Andrea, this morning. I was supposed to spend some time with Andrea and her little girl Julia-Rose today, but Andrea isn't feeling well. But Andrea and I had a great talk and it was so nice to catch up!!!

2. I have had the pleasure of having lunch with Randy twice this week! He's downtown for training this week and Tuesday he brought me lunch and today, since I'm off, I'm heading to meet him! It's been such a highlight to get to see him during the day! :)

1. We found out two of our great friends are expecting!!!!!!!!! They will remain anonymous for the time being b/c I'm not sure if they are ready for the world to know yet, but we are so thrilled for you guys! I literally squealed with excitement when I found out. They are both going to be AMAZING parents and I can't wait to meet their little one and watch them all together! Congrats guys!!

And that's the 5!!!!!!!! Now, back to enjoying sitting in bed a little longer........:) Happy Friday!
