This weekend was Brian’s bachelor party. We started the day off with lunch at Frisch’s and then went to a local golf course. This was my first time golfing, and I really enjoyed it! We got lucky and had a 76 degree day, no humidity, and mostly sunny. My driving was pretty much worthless, but heck, aside from a few practice swings while visiting Jason up in Cleveland, I’d never even touched a golf club (well, except the putt putt courses!).
I played with Brian, Kirk (Brian’s future brother-in-law), Cary (Brian’s best friend and best man), as a foursome, but Adam (Brian’s other brother-in-law to be), Curry (Brian’s future father-in-law), Phil and Phillip (Brian’s brother and step father) followed us in another foursome. It was nice playing with that many people, as I got to try out a number of different clubs and got a lot of good advice from Cary and Kirk.
I may have to start shopping Craigslist, classifieds, and Play it Again Sports for some decent, cheap, used clubs. There is a driving range right down the street from my office…how convenient. 🙂 Emily played a year or two ago with her friend, Mary, and she had a good time, too. May have found a new hobby!

Megabyte and her cousins (Lizzy, Sadie, Savannah and Sydney) all went to the Kenton Paw Park today to play. It was a beautiful day, sunny but cool. The girls had a great time romping around with other dogs and making new friends. See pictures of their fun day below!

Happy Birthday to Megabyte!! Meg is 4 years old today! We can’t believe that time has gone so fast. We got Meg two days after coming back from our honeymoon; she was 8 pounds and teeny tiny! Now she’s all grown up, has a little brother (Chip) and is the best friend and daugger (like dog and daughter combined – that’s what Paul calls her) we could ask for. Happy 4th Meg!
Look how she’s grown!

Emily’s brother Philip turned 16 today! He passed his written test and got his temps, actually had a pretty decent picture too! He even drove Diana to O’Charley’s for dinner! Eep! Everyone watch out, Philip is on the roads!! 🙂

I hosted a wedding shower for Ashley today. The weather was rainy and dreary, but we had a lot of fun and laughter inside. We played a few really fun games, enjoyed the chocolate fountain (we’re women, did you expect anything different?), and opened a mountain of wonderful gifts. Thanks to all those who came, it was a great time!

We got back Saturday from our spring vacation. This year we went on cruise with Diana, Phil and Philip. We were on Royal Caribbean’s Grandeur of the Seas. We left Sat. March 31 from New Orleans, stopped in Georgetown Grand Cayman, Costa Maya, and Cozumel and ended back in New Orleans. The cruise was awesome; we had great weather, the ports were great and it was very relaxing. Check out pictures below:

We visited my family in St. Louis back for my sister’s birthday in February. When we showed up late on Friday, dad presented us with some great gifts. For those that don’t know, one of my dad’s hobbies is woodworking, specifically Shaker reproductions. His current focus are on these:
We also got a beautiful little chest. Details and photos when you click on the photo above!

My mom told me last night that her dog Sadie (the one with the eating disorder – eats everything in sight) was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. She has to receive insulin shots every 12 hours for the rest of her life! How crazy is that?
Everyone in the family has to learn how to give shots now, so that there’s always someone around that can give it to her. Well, everyone except Paul, since he’s deathly afraid of needles 😉

Sorry to all our avid readers *smirk* that we haven’t posted in awhile. We’ve both been really busy with work, Dliberation work, friends and family. I was thinking back to this time last year, when we were buying our house, living at my mom’s, I was preparing for my black belt test, Emmaus was going on, we were having all sorts of car trouble, etc. Whew, what a stressful few months!
Now, a year later, it’s happening again…not so many big things going on, but this time of year seems to be a tough one for us to get through. We’re both swamped at work, there’s another black belt test coming up (thankfully this time I just get to watch everyone else), we have 3 mock trials coming up in the next month with Dliberation Resources, plus we are squeezing in a visit to St. Louis, and a couple of on-call weekends for me, and of course, Brian and Ashley’s upcoming wedding.
Luckily though, we’ve got Lost, Survivor, and The Amazing Race starting back up again (which we love), a great cruise to the Caribbean (YAY!), and April, which in general is our “ahhhhh, it’s all over” month. Hopefully we’ll get back to posting soon, just wanted to keep everyone updated.
