Big Brother Update

So tonight is Big Brother. There is a new Head of the house hold which means someone got kicked off... Well it was to either Kail or Jen, but the game changed with Mike got nominated. I don't like Kail so much, I think she lies to much. Mike was the one who got kicked off and he deserved it I think... I think this week it should be Kail, but we will see. Stay tuned to see what happens.....

Friday off! Saturday day!!!!

This weekend I took Friday off which was nice. Everyone needs a day off here any there. Anyways though Andy and I and his parents took off to go to the Toughest bowling tournament around. This tournament has been around since 1921, can you believe it. Andy and his dad were bowling at 8:30 on Saturday morning so it was the perfect time to take a day off and to do a little shopping before the bowling. We got up early on Saturday morning and left around 10:30-11:00 or so and started to drive. We were excited because we were stopping at Ikea! One of the greatest stores around.

We arrived and we wanted to check into the hotel first. So we did that and then we ate at Fridays... Yummmy.... Let me tell you they were more efficient with are order then I have ever seen. They had these cook hand held PDA to put our orders in and swipe credit cards. It was pretty cool looking....

Then it was off to IKEA... Andy's mom had never been there so she was looking forward to it. If you have never been it's 3 story's of home furniture and anything else you can think of for your house. This store is mainly for college students who need to budget. Things were cheap.... We had a lot of fun just looking around.. I bought a few things but nothing to major...

We went back to the hotel and we kind of rested and later that night we took for dinner to a restaurant called Teds something. They had bison to eat.... It was a pretty cool place. Something new...

That night we went to the bowling center to watch some past champions bowl. Carrie and I kept our self entertained by the girl who was trying to show off... That's another long story...

Saturday we all had to be up and dressed by at least a quarter to 8. Took off to go to the bowling center ( this bowling center was so cold I was in jeans and a sweatshirt) ... They have to keep it nice and cold for the guys... Andy's mom and I watched for a little while and then we went around the corner to do a little more shopping. Didn't find anything to major. I got a couple of 2008 cheap calendars. ( can you believe it's going to be 2008) By the time we got back the guys were almost done bowling.

We left from the bowling center and we decided to take a drive to Barrington. This place is known for the huge mansions... And boy were they huge... If your ever in the Chicago area take a venture out that way. Anyways though it was a fun trip but I'm glad to be home to sleep in my own bed with my own pillow...

BIG BROTHER

BIG BROTHER 8

So I never watched this show till this year. Andy's parents like to watch this show during the summer time. So I finally watched the first episode of this seasons and now I"m hooked on the show. Tonight it's on and they decide who gets kicked off. Kail or Jen , I wish they both were to get kicked off but that won't happen. Then they get to decide who gets to be HOH( head of the House hold) Anyways though it's a good reality show and I have got hooked on it.... It's a show about a bunch of strangers living in the house and they have to get along and kick people out and so on. It's a pretty cool show....

Whistling Straits in Wisconsin

So Andy and I had the oppurtunity to go watch the golf tournament at Whistling Straits. I had gotton tickets from one of my managers at work. So it took us about 2 1/2 hours to get there but of course we stopped for breakfast along the way. I couldn't go with out my English muffin and hash brown... Anyways though it was to be like 98 degress there today and boy was it... We got there and parked and the time you walk from your car to the first hole, your out of breath. We were standing at the 1st hole and watching the golf and all of sudden it was beginnging to be hard for me to breath. I told Andy I have to go to the shade, and of course this course had no shade what so ever. Lucky us we had two club passes that I also got. We went back and sat in there where they had air conditioning. I sat there for a good 20 mins or so and cooled off and regained engery. The lady was nice to tell us with our tickets that we could take the shuttle to the 18th hole and sit up there. So Andy and I went to the gift store and I got a hat to protect my face from the heat and then we caught the shuttle to the 18th hole. We pretty much stayed around there the whole time . I found some shade and it was fine and cool there... It was an exciting adventure and I look forward to going to other golf tournaments.... Here's a picture of the club house. It's so pretty there, and it's on the lake!!!

Chicago here we come!

This weekend my cousin Brandice was in town from Vegas, she was at home getting all the final preparations ready for her upcoming wedding that I"m in. Andy and I took off on Saturday after work and went over to hang out. We got lost on the way because there wasn't very good signage. When we got there Clarence had the food ready to eat. Andy and I watched everyone play Horseshoe for a little while and then Andy played while I chatted. It was a fun night. That night all 8 of us kids sat around the table and played this fun game called head bands. We had teams of 4, guys vs. girls.... We had a lot of fun playing that... The next day we woke up and Clarence made a gourmet breakfast of course. He's famous for his cooking at least in my book. Then Tami and Brandice took us around town to show us where the wedding and reception was. Here are a few pictures of us playing the game....

I did it!!!!

Guess what I did?????????? So I turned 25 this year and Andy's mom thought I should go and get my ear's pierced for my birthday. I have always been a chicken about it because of my nickle allergy and I really don't like needles. She thought it would be great because at the wedding there is a pair of earrings that match my dress that I should wear. So I finally got the courage to go and get them done. Yep that's right I have my ear's pierced, I can hardly believe it my self. So far everything is going good with them, no break outs or anything with my nickle allergy. That's a good thing. At first it was hard to sleep at night because I was afraid they would fall out but they haven't yet. I just have to remember to clean them every day and twist them around. I"m doing good at that so far. Anyways now if you want to you can buy me ear rings.

Bridesmaid Dresses!

So the wedding planning is coming along really well. I know we have a wedding blog but it's so much easier to type on this one. Anyways I have to make a decision soon on which dress I want the girls to wear in the wedding, but I don't know. There are so many to choose from. Which is your favorite.

July 2 - My birthday!!!!

Well I turned another year older but doesn't seem any different. I guess that's a good thing though. Though my friends mom likes to tease me about being half way to whatever 2X's is like 50.... I don't even want to think about that. Anyways the birthday was good. I had to work Monday on my birthday and then I went home and there was a dozen roses sitting there on the table from Andy. Such a sweet guy. Then we went out to dinner , though my food was kind of bland. It was a good birthday....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!
