We've had a free weekend this weekend, so it's been nice to have some time to get the house ready for fall! I LOVE Fall and this year I'm sooooo ready for it after the LONG summer we've had this year.</div>

I re-did my mantle this year. I took some things I had from last year and mixed it in with some new things I bought this year. The printed pumpkins, beaded pumpkins, mercury pumpkin and cream painted pumpkin are all new from Hobby Lobby this year. The brown/orange glass pumpkin is from a cool little store in town called The Pod. I repurposed a fall swag, clipping off all the leaves to use around the pumpkins. Also found the brown feather like leaves at Hobby Lobby this year. The mercury votive holders came from Target. The hurricanes I used for my wedding and are from Willow House and the branches in the hurricanes are from TJ Maxx. </div>

I had some gift cards to burn at Pottery Barn and found this cute black iron baskets. So of course I had to have an excuse to entertain and who better with than my bridal party! :-) So I invited all the girls over for brunch and we had a great time. It's always so fun to get everyone together and I hope to make it a yearly tradition.</div>

What's the one birthday gift your husband won't return? St. Louis Cardinal tickets! haha I haven't had the best luck of getting Brian gifts that he actually wants or keeps. Mainly because he's the most modest person you'll meet so if he doesn't think he needs it, then your gift is going back to the store. Kind of a birthday gift downer! haha So this year I decided to get him a gift he couldn't return and wouldn't want to return. I bought tickets to the Cardinal game. We had a great time! We stayed at Union Station, went to the game, had dinner out, did some shopping and then made a last ditch trip to Yogurtland before heading home.</div>

As part of his birthday gift, I told him I'd wear Cardinal gear just for him. I grew up a Cubs fan but can't say that I've been a avid Cubs watcher besides in spirit. haha So I thought I would appease him and put on some Cardinals gear. Crazy how happy that makes a husband! haha</div>

We ate at Landry's Seafood for dinner which was kind of a disappointment. When I was a kid we went to St. Louis every year for the MVC tournament and Union Station was like THEE place to be. Now it is like a ghost town. Sad!</div>

So I have been awful at keeping this blog up to date. I apparently average a post once every three months! haha Brian and Brent turned 35 on the May 19th and I threw them a John Deere themed birthday. They were a little skeptical at first and still felt like it should be more geared towards a 5 year old's party but they secretly liked it all in the end. haha</div>

I made a burlap runner. I'm no seamstress, so I always have to opt for the easy route. I cut the burlap in half and then lined the endes with green ribbon that I ironed on with iron on adhesive and then did the same for the yellow ribbon. I took a plastic tractor painted the back wheels and ran it across the burlap to make tractor tire marks.</div>

I wanted cookies that looked like tractor tires, which I should have gone with a chocolate cookie and then done the yellow m&m's in the center. Wasn't thinking. So this was my version. A peanut butter cookie outlined in black m&m's and in the center yellow m&m's.</div>

During our engagement shoot, Tami had taken a picture of their tractor so I knew if I was going to do a cupcake topper, it was going to have to be accurate and could only be THEIR tractor and not something else. Sure enough, they both noticed immediately that it was actually their tractor on top of the cupcake. Holly graciously made all the signs for me since I was in Vegas till 10pm the night before the party. I'm crazy I know! haha</div>

For the centerpiece I took a vase and wrapped it in burlap and tied it with twine. Then I took corn on the cob still in the husks and put them on metal grill skewers and put them in the vase and then just pulled back the husks to make it look more like an arrangement. I borrowed a play tractor from someone in small's group and stole Brent's visor from his display shelf at his house. haha</div>

It all started 4 years ago with some extra frosted sugar cookies that Ashley needed to get rid of. Four years later, and were still doing our annual Valentine's Day coffee. Every year we plan way ahead and then right at the end it seems to crop up on us and were scrambling to put it together last minute, but it always seems to turn out ok and everyone has a good time seeing each other. We take turns between having it at her house or mine, so this year it was my place. Two years ago I was rushing to Walmart the morning of picking up cinnamon rolls, caraffe's for coffee and anything else to throw it together. Being out of town all week beforehand was not helping matters any. So I felt like I needed to try a little harder this year to redeem myself. haha</div>

Everyone also got to take home some recipes. I had this chicken wire memo board leftover from the wedding and was trying to figure out a way to reuse it. I came up with recipes that people could take home. So I went on Pinterest and copied a bunch of recipes, since they always have a picture with them. I printed them out on card stock and then used binder clips to attach them to the board. </div>

Needless to say I was a little preoccupied with wedding planning, then a wedding cookout and just settling into married life. What I've been doing lately is slowly updating the house to more the style I want it to be rather than just a hodge podge. My latest conquest is our entertainment center. It has been the thorn in my flesh for months because I just couldn't quite find all the stuff I wanted exactly to put in there. I finally put the final touches on it yesterday and am finally happy with it now. :-)<br />

I give her clothes, she gives me great home decor items. These were two she gave me a while back and I've been trying to figure out how to use them. I got some walnuts and pecans in the shell and filled up the one on the left and used coffee beans for the other one. Brian thought I should have done corn and soybeans. The little farmer in him! haha</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

All you heard for days was "this is an EPIC blizzard", "this storm is EPIC", "we haven't seen a storm like this since 1967, this is EPIC". An EPIC it was! Monday night I went to get the mail and the flakes were so big, I thought I was being pelted with snowballs!<br /><br />I went to the store early Tuesday morning to get us some last minute items to last us until Saturday just in case we were stuck inside for days......and we are! :-) Not sure how you go to the store on Sunday and then end up spending even more money two days later on groceries, but were now fully stocked for like a month and Kate and I had an outstanding dinner last night! haha<br /><br />I'm not sure we got the 24 inches that they were promising but we definitely got somewhere around 12-14. It was truly the most amount of snow I've seen in my lifetime. Dare I say EPIC? haha<br /><br />Kate and I had some girl bonding since Denise and Whit both got snowed in elsewhere. We spent the evening making enough food to literally make us want to roll ourselves off the couch and then appropriately watched Biggest Loser. haha We woke up this morning to half the driveway covered about shin high and the road covered till about 4pm this afternoon. Thankfully we are all dug out now and able to move again, but it was kind of fun to get stuck for a couple days. This is the quietest week I've had in a while. haha<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQd6jeB0UytKccV1lSyzOAcClzUmkaBghl52sYASeOojmTjzZ3slxUkoY4PnEqbznvmg8M5ksdhdTfWPDr4x0gtglTpoiUsi5MjuEZ7faDz8pD0F7LNw0Oisn1qRufc67uo_8Uy_WfB57x/s1600/IMG_4081.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569318353323887794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQd6jeB0UytKccV1lSyzOAcClzUmkaBghl52sYASeOojmTjzZ3slxUkoY4PnEqbznvmg8M5ksdhdTfWPDr4x0gtglTpoiUsi5MjuEZ7faDz8pD0F7LNw0Oisn1qRufc67uo_8Uy_WfB57x/s400/IMG_4081.JPG" /></a> View from the front porch.

We all pile into a lake house(kids and all) and spend the weekend talking, playing games, TONS of eating, boating/jet skiing and just all around having a great time. It's a tradition that I hope we keep up for a long time. <br /><br />Every family is responsible for a meal throughout the weekend and we all bring snacks(and we had LOTS of them) and then we pretty much see how quickly we can consume every ounce of food in the place till we leave Sunday. :-) <br /><br />This year was fun for me as well because it was this lake weekend last year that I had just first started talking to Brian. I ended up meeting him that Sunday when we got back from the lake, so it was neat to have him there with me this year.

Never a dull moment with this group! Between Tami's story that made us all want to shiver and Jarod's crazy high school memories, we laughed and cried and made a lot of great memories. I was really glad that Brian got to be there and be a part of this family that is so special to me! Can't wait till next year! I think were going to need two lake houses! :-)</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18079089692396970011noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702032024243143978.post-14682914387809089702010-07-18T16:12:00.000-07:002010-07-19T16:57:46.347-07:00We Made it a WHOLE Year! :-)June 28th was our "anniversary" date. Hard to believe that it's been a whole year since we met. Unfortunately, our anniversary was spent with me in California working late and him working on a huge project at work, so we weren't even together, but he's coming to California for Labor Day so I figure we'll celebrate then. I did buy us some beach cruisers(bicycles) for my parent's house. We love renting bikes and riding along the beach, so I thought it would be a fun gift for when we visit California. He was REAL excited about a gift he can use twice a year! haha<br /><br />There are many reasons why I love this man, but here are just a few: he's funny and he doesn't even realize it sometimes. He's pretty reserved most of the time but he comes up with some funny phrases that we laugh about still months later. He balances me out. I'm a little high strung. Ok a lot high strung! haha He never gets upset about anything. That keeps the fighting to a minimum. :-) He's practical. I'm not exactly a saver. I'm more of a spender, but I'm sure that doesn't surprise anyone! haha He's very good with budgets and expenses and keeps me on track. Sometimes a little too much! haha<br /><br />Overall, he's brought a lot of joy to my life over the last year and I'm looking forward to seeing where the next year takes us!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiviKodv-IViAKPj08Xy0tELdWYSksA64i_a7PC4GmHOMkMulAlFx-5RyHuihrMo_ecphFYBkA3_IDaH0i7vw8a0QFTvt5OBjJWHXtPJq12HeocqSx8y2Eqb4_aj003_sl88SJ-Xt0ORY-k/s1600/IMG_2583.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

The planning has officially begun for...........WHIT'S wedding! :-) We are up to our eyeballs in wedding magazines, reception ideas, caterers, photographers, venues, and dress selection! Thank goodness we have an entire year.<br /><br /><br /><br />1st Accomplishment - The Venue - Mackinaw Winery<br /><br />2nd Accomplishment - The Date - May 7th 2011<br /><br />3rd Accomplishment - The Caterer - American Catering<br /><br />4th Accomplishment - The Dress - You'll have to wait to see! :-)<br /><br />5th Accomplishment - The Photographer - Katie Zeller<br /><br />Now on to the tastings, seeing the venue, decorations, bridesmaid dresses, music, invitations, etc. It's been a fun process so far. Gives me tons of ideas for my own someday. You can go over to Whit's blog to read about her dress experience: <a href="http://whitneyandisaacstrong.blogspot.com/">http://whitneyandisaacstrong.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />We honestly had very little to no frustration with finding her dress. We only had to go to about 5 stores and try on probably 6 dresses total. We figured looking in California made sense because then my mom could be there for the experience, but you never really know what you're in for until you do it. So we started at David's Bridal. They were super helpful and she tried on a few dresses. One in particular that was a great deal and even an extra $50 off that day. Whit said that mom, Kate and I all chimed "ohhhhh" in unison as she said the discounts on bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride, invitiations and tuxes, but it wasn't the "one" Then we went to the next store where Kate and I had more fun trying on dresses than Whit did. They were having a sample sale so you didn't have to have an appointment and you could just grab dresses and try on. Since you didn't have a consultant to help you, Kate helped me get into the dresses. I had to lose my modesty quickly when you have no bra and you're trying to jump into a dress that is a size too small for you! haha So on to the third store for Whit. The White Dress! I mean even the name sounds magical! How could it not be the place? Well it was the place and the dress if you were willing to sign over your future 401k to them! haha Whit walked out and we gasped and then tried to talk her out of the dress. Just sleep on it! It's a lot of money for one day! Do you really want to make installment payments on a wedding dress?! So we walked out, dressless and Whit was pretty well defeated.<br /><br />On to the next location! By this point, we had picked up two more bystanders. My aunt Cheryl and my cousin Brittany had flown in for spring break. Mom picked them up at the airport while we got a head start at the bridal salon. The front half was the normal bridal salon and the back room was the outlet part. In there you could buy off the rack and they entice you by telling you that they are 30-75% off. What they don't tell you with that wonderful enticing sales pitch is the dresses are torn, dirty, buttons missing, sequins gone, but hey I got it for a steal! haha So needless to say Whit did not find what she was looking for there.<br /><br />We took a week off and decided that maybe a new attitude, a new store and a fresh perspective would help the process! :-) Mom and I made a few appointments for the following Saturday. One in particular was call The Wedding Day. Before we walked in, mom had us sit in the car and she prayed over our day and just asked that we would be able to find Whitney a dress that she loved and one that was in her price range so that she didn't have to have a rent to own policy on her dress! haha We walked in and I was immediately skeptical because every dress that she showed us Whit said she didn't like. Then my mom proceeded to take out two manicans in the front window sending them crashing to the floor and the people and the cash register to exclaim, "what the hell?" As we walked around the store, every dress she pulled for Whit was "fit and flare" and looked exactly the same as the three previous dresses she had pulled and even though Whit was turning up her nose at them all, she kept telling Whit "just try it, it looks different on". Oh brother! So as I wandered the store looking for a dress on the sale rack and trying to keep a low profile to not try and take out any more store front displays, Whit, mom and Celeste had pulled a few more dresses. <br /><br />Now it was the moment of truth. Celeste was smart enough to put Whit in the one dress that we pulled that she actually liked. She walked out and it had all the things she was looking for, sweetheart neckline, natural waist, full skirt but not too full, etc. Then it happened! Whit started crying. I looked over at my mom tearing up because Whit was and Whit was going "I don't know why I'm crying!" It was pretty obvious at that point, that it was "the one"! Celeste wanted to tap in on some additional sale items, so she quickly put a veil on Whit's head which of course now we couldn't buy the dress without the veil and so it was.....Whit's wedding dress was found! :-)<br /><br />Now on to bigger and better things.......centerpieces, planning and decorations! This is the part of the process that I absolute love! I love making spreadsheets and checklists and coming up with different, unique and affordable deocration ideas without using a mirror(what I call and crack mirror) and bowl of water with a floating candle. It's fun to see how much I can do on a budget and still make it cute. So we begin.......Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18079089692396970011noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702032024243143978.post-73478913453071546252010-02-26T05:45:00.000-08:002010-02-26T06:41:35.943-08:00Weekend with Britt!So our cousin Brittany came out to visit for the weekend. She came to cut Kate's hair but Kate claims we never tell her anything(which somehow is always the truth, not sure how we always forget :-)), so Kate made plans to go to Nashville to see Phil. So Britt drove 2 1/2 hours just to see us!

You see in the past, I've started dating someone in January. Note to self, never start dating someone in January, because either 1) there's a lot of pressure for that first Valentine's day, what to do, what to say, how much to do, etc or 2) they break up with you right before Valentine's Day or in my case on the day of. I just don't recommend it. Start dating February 15th or later! haha<br /><br /><br /><br />So anyway, this year I was excited. I told Brian that if he was going to break up with me, just do it and get it over with because I'm used to it by now, but he was pretty sure he still wanted to date me through this dreaded holiday! haha So about a week before we got to talking about Valentine's gifts. Brian was like gifts? I didn't know I had to get you a gift. I said, well I got you one. He was like, no no no.....why would you get me a gift? I said, well I love buying gifts for people and holidays just gives me an excuse! :-) He's like, I've never bought a Valentine's gift. I said, well what did you get for your last girlfriend. He said, flowers, but you don't like flowers. I said, you're right, try again. He was like, well I was just going to get you one of those big hershey kisses. I said, that's a good start but don't stop there. :-) He said, that's where I was planning on stopping. He said, you have my love and devotion. That should be enough. I said, actually you haven't said I love you, so really I just have your devotion at this point! He was like, well that should be enough. I said, well I want a gift! haha I said, it's my first Valentine's Day. I want it to be special. So I gave him some ideas that he was mentally taking down.<br /><br />We decided to go to Jonah's Seafood house in Peoria. Brian isn't exactly a planner so I help him out a little and make the reservations so we actually have places to go on special occasions! haha We got there and they sat us by the window. He said, I love where were sitting! Do you think this is because of Valentine's Day?

My fish unfortunately was almost cold when it came out, so I didn't eat much so we decided to take it home. I however quickly dumped it down Brian's leg as we walked out of the restaurant. I had to laugh at his shocked face as he was still holding the to go container in his hand and it was hanging open with the potatoes fully intact and my fish laying on the ground. :-)<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJUUzNPC5Wc-K3aBQtnGgZzZrMGxHaWlw70oR_XZvD86noHWzyzR0p0Oocu4-Els-cw3PynOPOUDoYiMS6sm2oDjIbkD2GaHxducAs8WY_jmJA_s4053hCgg0XDTl61UVdfnW-VZB8hPNB/s1600-h/IMG_3058.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438870904249215666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJUUzNPC5Wc-K3aBQtnGgZzZrMGxHaWlw70oR_XZvD86noHWzyzR0p0Oocu4-Els-cw3PynOPOUDoYiMS6sm2oDjIbkD2GaHxducAs8WY_jmJA_s4053hCgg0XDTl61UVdfnW-VZB8hPNB/s320/IMG_3058.JPG" /></a> Brian would kill me if he knew I posted this.

Brian has been to two already but I haven't been able to go. We were actually going to pass up this week(for reasons I didn't understand) as well, but last minute got some good tickets so we decided to take advantage of them. The game was at 11am so we had to leave by 8am?! Nothing like drinking beer at 9am! haha JK I didn't have any. Just Coke! We met up with Brian's friend Jeff whose dad is a State Farm agent in Champaign. He got us free tickets and also into the State Farm tent for free food. How can you pass that up? :-) It was a great day for football! Illinois played miserable but we had fun anyway!<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHNSWXUv3TxNA5hsnuEFSUp1vYNlLz-rdNYlTNAgRoW-jUbDvwnvYYYvwWC52rzF0YJi-KvzIkCehaEbNOrP5xRpnuYT01HXV-IUvK-njHuARaskBjpyREGoIjcUcwZMZMjvK6jKzGkNHU/s1600-h/IMG_2807.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391777202070504754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHNSWXUv3TxNA5hsnuEFSUp1vYNlLz-rdNYlTNAgRoW-jUbDvwnvYYYvwWC52rzF0YJi-KvzIkCehaEbNOrP5xRpnuYT01HXV-IUvK-njHuARaskBjpyREGoIjcUcwZMZMjvK6jKzGkNHU/s320/IMG_2807.JPG" /></a> Jeff was pretty sure he had told his dad to call him when he got there.

Everyone did so much and I felt so loved with all of the stuff going on. Well Whit had told me that she wanted to do something for my birthday with just Whit, and Kate and me. She told me to be ready at 2:30pm and we were going to leave. She got home a little late so she was racing around telling me to get going. She handed me a cup from Fusion Brew and when I'd ask what it was she kept saying it was fall in a cup! I didn't know what that meant but it was good! She put me in the car and made me wrap a scarf around my head. She wanted to make sure I couldn't see or hear anything so she gave me her Ipod to listen to as well. My left eye was stuck shut but I realized a little down the road that I could see slightly out of my right eye, so I was able to kind of tell where we were at. She circled a neighborhood and then headed back to our house. I figured at that point that she was picking up Heidi, but then I started feeling bad that I was peeking, so I quit looking! haha From there we went to Arftul Designs, Fox and Hounds and Reality Bites and then back to our house for games. It was such a fun day! Truly a great birthday week!<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOssi2g2X8I0xImnN3IK0ktKadq8AHGklJHQSbuDJqHVnfbCO9UfHzf8fDTZgn4l6kB1qsHHllVmx11AAku3uBkCYPC1ip60DL6wwZPh1PBISyMM_jW37t5Ujqj9iHAOi5ERAUzxcd0ECV/s1600-h/IMG_8272.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391769625260562130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOssi2g2X8I0xImnN3IK0ktKadq8AHGklJHQSbuDJqHVnfbCO9UfHzf8fDTZgn4l6kB1qsHHllVmx11AAku3uBkCYPC1ip60DL6wwZPh1PBISyMM_jW37t5Ujqj9iHAOi5ERAUzxcd0ECV/s320/IMG_8272.JPG" /></a> I couldn't wait to get that scarf off because it was itchy and not being able to see with Whit's erratic driving was starting to make me feel sick!

It went something like this: "Surprise, ok were going to paint, but were on a time crunch so we don't have a lot of time!" I said, ok. Whit are you going to repaint me my mug you busted? "I probably should, but not today. We don't have a lot of time. Were actually all going to paint the same thing." I said, oh ok, looking around trying to figure out what to paint. Whit was like, "you need to hurry up! We have to be out of here in 15 minutes!" Ohhhh, ok! I quickly grabbed a triangle plate. We decided to paint it like a candy corn. The next thing I know, Whit is paying for the plate, all the paint is at the table and the four of us are going to town on the plate. We painted it in 10 minutes flat! That has got to be some kind of record! haha<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv5z_Rm4A24bxbl_sBgwuOX6R0qRzEQTpQgErIDfdxkNdfWxW48sOK6yMdQIZxQSJsvRih9EOHSf8xK6vzghkkbjeZIZtCTTQSq9reCKzRIdkyt9zG9aRP3qxv5hRNxdlwL7vPkrp6DiJH/s1600-h/IMG_8275.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391769496681460754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv5z_Rm4A24bxbl_sBgwuOX6R0qRzEQTpQgErIDfdxkNdfWxW48sOK6yMdQIZxQSJsvRih9EOHSf8xK6vzghkkbjeZIZtCTTQSq9reCKzRIdkyt9zG9aRP3qxv5hRNxdlwL7vPkrp6DiJH/s320/IMG_8275.JPG" /></a> The finished product! Later Whit said we painted it in the wrong order that we should have put orange at the bottom. I told her that wasn't right. She and Rebekah insisted that they eat candy corns and the bottom is their favorite part and it's ALWAYS orange at the bottom. I wasn't buying but went along with it so I didn't sound like a know it all!

I wanted to try out something different and he works in East Peoria anyway, so it was easy to just meet there for dinner. I've heard great things about Seven so we decided to try it out. Glad we did!

It was a great weekend for shopping and it was even more fun to do it with some of my closest friends. Kate was cracking up all weekend at Ash's made up words. I don't even notice it anymore because I'm so used to it but Kate thought it was hilarious when Ash thought it was "nippers" outside or if the food was "de-lish" or when she called the weather "poop-ola" or when we decided to eat at Melting Pot and she said it was "scrumpdelicious"! By the time we left Kate was getting in on it and using the same phrases! haha<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsWVgGFgIKZ4UN9cJHYsZV9CK991uXJ5_FW4Wwuf4OX_NU17ZK4KCTIgKA4S25zO1sArfyk9rtqWGUtpJibZ_7qqN8JxTSCtekVuyQSy_IBdO_x8tA8wRwD2UunFjm8YwbC_b9fRP5hmO7/s1600-h/IMG_2777.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391323424865998242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsWVgGFgIKZ4UN9cJHYsZV9CK991uXJ5_FW4Wwuf4OX_NU17ZK4KCTIgKA4S25zO1sArfyk9rtqWGUtpJibZ_7qqN8JxTSCtekVuyQSy_IBdO_x8tA8wRwD2UunFjm8YwbC_b9fRP5hmO7/s320/IMG_2777.JPG" /></a> Heidi is dedicated! She could only be in Chicago for about 3 hours but she came up with us anyway. It did help that she drove 90mph the whole way there. I think that gave her about an extra 15 minutes to be there?

Boy was I wrong! First, Ash and Holly broke a surprise to me that they were taking me to Chicago for the weekend to shop for my birthday. They spoiled the surprise because Brian had a ticket for me to go to the U of I game with him and they were worried I'd be mad if I missed the game. Secondly, they had said we should go out to dinner for my birthday Friday night. I thought that sounded like fun, so I told them we should go to Reality Bites. Ash said great and told me who she thought we'd invite. I asked if I could invite Ben and Marissa as well since they were part of that whole Ozarks group. She said the more the merrier! I don't think she meant for me to take that literally. So I went and invited Adam and Amy, Tyler, Denise, Heidi and Jarod and couple others. All of which had plans that night. Strange! :-) Little did I know that their plans were coming to my surprise birthday party! It was the best surprise ever! Ash called at 6pm to tell me that Reality Bites didn't have our reservation down and so she had called Biaggis in a panic and they ironically had last minute cancellations and could get us in. Brian had told me that he had gotten sick at work and was pretty sure he had the flu so he wasn't going to be able to make it. I was bummed thinking, the first year I have a boyfriend on a birthday and he's going to miss my dinner. But I took it all in stride. It was on my way to dinner that I started thinking about stuff and thought, you know if they really wanted to get me, they could have changed the restaurant and have more of my friends here and Brian's not actually sick, but I kept thinking, no they wouldn't have done that. Don't hope for that or you might get disappointed when you walk in and there's just the 8 people that you knew were coming to dinner and Brian's still sick! :-) But I just had this feeling walking in from the parking lot that there was more to this. That maybe Heidi and Jarod and Adam and Amy's plans were for my dinner, but I just kept shoving it aside only to walk into a room where 35 people are yelling surprise FOR ME! It was such a buzz! I looked around the room and saw so many friends and family. All people I care about and mean so much to me in my life! It was awesome and meant the world to me that they had all come and that everyone had gone to so much trouble to pull it all off, especially with me trying to "help"! haha It was a great evening and I can't thank everyone enough who was there and who helped plan it all! Truly one of the best birthdays I've ever had!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu0hHzwErTnQipcT4irNcwdU54FusjZLInAkPvcoJr1LCnAN6oinWJ_JJUMGseX-6jLyUrXAJkaCrLEwsMh8FzZKl3G66xNTxYJAw-v4k-ayazuL985Cb_LgmYHHnA7QJfoEf92NVtr0Ye/s1600-h/IMG_2757.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388365639858732050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu0hHzwErTnQipcT4irNcwdU54FusjZLInAkPvcoJr1LCnAN6oinWJ_JJUMGseX-6jLyUrXAJkaCrLEwsMh8FzZKl3G66xNTxYJAw-v4k-ayazuL985Cb_LgmYHHnA7QJfoEf92NVtr0Ye/s320/IMG_2757.JPG" /></a> Ash and Hols were panicked with how many people I had told about Reality Bites.

While I was there I figured I'd help him out and do some laundry. It was pretty much selfishly motivated because he spends half his weekend doing laundry so I figured if I helped out, he'd have more time to spend with me! haha Either he's a slow laundry doer or he just doesn't do it all at once because in an afternoon I had ALL his laundry done, plus sheets washed and put back on his bed and towels washed and put away. I also had time to drop his shirts off at the cleaners. He was so blown away by all that I had done that he said he was going to treat me for all my hard work, so we went to Jim's Steakhouse for dinner. I hadn't been there in years but you can't go wrong with their augratin potatos and their Brittany dressing. Sooooo good!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqB1_nPymasC_Yrp4WfpDpxZVHCaIgdWxVyYHV0paAu4movD08X1aN6L6vuZgsRUHwXu8Pfc18GMHJhWE840yyhe2wHW2teULUVonD-n11gLo34pBti6bK9ITA-mwNUTtYui-78BC8romp/s1600-h/IMG_2756.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388364902825666626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqB1_nPymasC_Yrp4WfpDpxZVHCaIgdWxVyYHV0paAu4movD08X1aN6L6vuZgsRUHwXu8Pfc18GMHJhWE840yyhe2wHW2teULUVonD-n11gLo34pBti6bK9ITA-mwNUTtYui-78BC8romp/s320/IMG_2756.JPG" /></a> You can kind of see my coat hanging on my chair. Well I had that on when I got to his place. I guess you could think it was my outfit but it's a tie waist coat that has 3/4 sleeves and belled ruffle sleeves. When I got to his place, he was like you want to take off your coat and stay awhile? I said, well I thought we'd be leaving in a few minutes. He was like, oh that's really a coat? I was like yeah, what'd you think it was? He was like, well I didn't know! You have all kinds of interesting outfits that should be dresses or who knows what and they're your shirt so I was confused! He was like, don't get me wrong, I love it as a coat! :-) Boys, when you want them to have an opinion about your clothes they don't and when you'd prefer they keep their mouth shut, they always have an opinion! haha</div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18079089692396970011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702032024243143978.post-68489519718575157052009-10-05T17:17:00.000-07:002009-10-05T15:23:10.579-07:00Pfest!Well it only comes around once a year but it's always memorable. You can't let fall go by without a trip to the Pumpkin Festival. Now besides the eating and all the mingling you do, there's not a whole lot to it. We could probably all get together once a year without all the fuss, but then what's the fun in that? This year I branched out and actually tried the pumpkin stuff. Not sure how I've been going for like 15 years and only eaten the donuts. But I will say the rest of the stuff is delicious as well. Brian had never been to Pumpkin Festival and at first didn't understand why everyone was saying stuff about "Pfest" but by the end of the evening he was using the lingo fitting in with all the rest of the cool kids! haha By the time we had run into my 20th friend, he looks at me and says, "you know I'll never remember all these names, right?" I said, no worries, I don't expect you to! He said good! I've forgotten more of your friends name than I actually have friends! haha We went up to Pfest with Ben and Marissa and then they left early and we got delayed talking to people and didn't end up going back to their house afterwards.

He's been wanting to take me fishing for a while so a couple Saturdays ago it worked out to go out there. It was a gorgeous day and it was so hot that day that we hit up the pool first and then head out to the farm. He kept asking me if I'd actually fish. I said sure! As long as I don't have to bait the hook or touch the fish, I'm fine! :-) He's like that's not fishing, that's pole holding! I said fine! You go fishing, I'll go pole holding! And that's exactly what we did! haha His dad had made some Texas cake that we also partook of. It was awesome! I love the country!

Each time I go the amount of time I stay seems to grow. In March I went home for two weeks and that turned into 6 weeks. This fall I went home for 2 1/2 weeks. Even when I think I'm staying a healthy length of time, my dad is still trying to convince me to stay longer. Well this time I had a boy to bring home. I stressed over it a little because it was really soon to be meeting my parents especially when my parents are 3000 miles away. We had talked about him coming out over Labor Day but we hadn't made any definite plans and with the whole meeting the folks thing, it seemed to get slow walked. So I just surprised him with a ticket instead and flew him out. He was excited and nervous to say the least but ultimately didn't quite understand the big thrill about California. He'd been before and he didn't share my excitement about how cool it would be........until he got there! :-) The pictures are out of order thanks to the lovely Blogger photo uploader, but you'll get the idea!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS_RoHoInnEoIhqoIiP3ltPm_dLw-_yFUnYz-YYbfZahy-hyDQINDkSiUnFBwGKeOmw3mhgMnmfeXLfR9vWR96qWmdVs4voGisOaGAKbkBl-HL6qfD2f6hfTD6JZIJ5LoYehWiOQevTzXu/s1600-h/IMG_2692.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388363362663515858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS_RoHoInnEoIhqoIiP3ltPm_dLw-_yFUnYz-YYbfZahy-hyDQINDkSiUnFBwGKeOmw3mhgMnmfeXLfR9vWR96qWmdVs4voGisOaGAKbkBl-HL6qfD2f6hfTD6JZIJ5LoYehWiOQevTzXu/s320/IMG_2692.JPG" /></a> I took him on a whirlwind tour of Southern California and hit all my hot spots!

Unfortunately people were on their beach so there were few to see, but we did get to see a few swim up upon unsuspecting snorklers.

It over looks the skyline of San Diego and is right on the water. We even lucked out because they were shooting off fireworks that night and we were front and center for them! He loves fireworks! I couldn't have planned it better myself!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfkmJy4DRJq2hm6AP3-qU49yvT0SXwerA6ymgrMBb3crkefD1MPUJm-zh_KF7FD43jusjIqiR_ixbZim40N6t_1TFZ_kiY41UtgT5CJyFBxoEG2yXOhXsvf6jisHlhWAEiVBEKDFhTIeY-/s1600-h/IMG_2731.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388363127756393394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfkmJy4DRJq2hm6AP3-qU49yvT0SXwerA6ymgrMBb3crkefD1MPUJm-zh_KF7FD43jusjIqiR_ixbZim40N6t_1TFZ_kiY41UtgT5CJyFBxoEG2yXOhXsvf6jisHlhWAEiVBEKDFhTIeY-/s320/IMG_2731.JPG" /></a>San Diego skyline<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxiv1aPaIfNTOuwb-QxIwdZF8H_PbC6FRkxhDfBoGyw35eCcPk18exOEWv9FrrLFu9y-W-adQguMFAYV2i__f9QjzeZTYPenUCNol9IT6BI3prMbyzVVdRSMrgzvzJVEfFP62MAQkoAzI3/s1600-h/IMG_2676.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388362442961038930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxiv1aPaIfNTOuwb-QxIwdZF8H_PbC6FRkxhDfBoGyw35eCcPk18exOEWv9FrrLFu9y-W-adQguMFAYV2i__f9QjzeZTYPenUCNol9IT6BI3prMbyzVVdRSMrgzvzJVEfFP62MAQkoAzI3/s320/IMG_2676.JPG" /></a> This is where the weekend actually began. We took him to Balboa and went bike riding along the beach. It was a first for me too! We don't own bikes but my mom's friend Kathy does. It was a little crazy trying to dodge everyone walking or darting out at you on the boardwalk but it was really cool to ride along the ocean. Brian loves to bike ride so it was totally up his alley.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtJlyWUrwoJRA_bQ7JMJJ97kURrOatN4b6P0LKU73EU5ANYimmUzlY5iBxLHWSujW7NH2_lwF4PbK9AYzl90F7Twk6hfQBD-b3ZNPjXWUBG5gnNFK-vNaKgf4bgV-F4LYT25UEp6iZ1rZd/s1600-h/IMG_2677.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388362436238874818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtJlyWUrwoJRA_bQ7JMJJ97kURrOatN4b6P0LKU73EU5ANYimmUzlY5iBxLHWSujW7NH2_lwF4PbK9AYzl90F7Twk6hfQBD-b3ZNPjXWUBG5gnNFK-vNaKgf4bgV-F4LYT25UEp6iZ1rZd/s320/IMG_2677.JPG" /></a> We took the car ferry over to Balboa from Newport and had some NY style pizza before our bike ride.

We sat on the patio and you can actually see the water beneath you through the planks on the patio. We did the crab feast and that's exactly what it was. It was a little less appetizing when they bring it out with head and feet still attached. Nothing like ripping the body apart to have your dinner!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxdqfLqx4lRDLaLSZrAfxDhxMn8HmO1qNAzsvzd6lveTEKwbAHYApEPIkRrly48k_JkUwXR0uv4Nz0S8oX4meFLAm4Yg9EdGxOmZcUsaLP3ES2i4kmGsad7ULJAb3FAdJ1HXpycwB4u1Wc/s1600-h/IMG_2687.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388361087512117970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxdqfLqx4lRDLaLSZrAfxDhxMn8HmO1qNAzsvzd6lveTEKwbAHYApEPIkRrly48k_JkUwXR0uv4Nz0S8oX4meFLAm4Yg9EdGxOmZcUsaLP3ES2i4kmGsad7ULJAb3FAdJ1HXpycwB4u1Wc/s320/IMG_2687.JPG" /></a> Brian said at dinner that he couldn't figure out what I was so excited about with him coming out but now he got it. He can see now why I like it out there so much.

I wore high heels which is a little tricky on the planks. You either pull your heel out of the crack every 10 seconds or walk barefoot. Neither one was a very good alternative!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18079089692396970011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702032024243143978.post-20260307608545095872009-10-02T23:32:00.000-07:002009-10-05T11:25:05.218-07:00Praise the LordMy mom's friend Kathy has a daughter named Crystal who is a great singer and she got asked to sing on TBN's Praise the Lord show. Mom asked me to go with her and I wasn't paying much attention when I said yes. I just thought we were going to hear her sing. Little did I know the production it was going to be. It was a show about Heaven and Hell and people having near death experiences. It was really pretty interesting. We got to be in the audience and were actually on tv a couple times when they panned to the crowd!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-oCjFf4s13tKAxP_2csBRhqvusRgFi_cRofaESQhkk4swog0hE24L1UI1EwCC1prIOmg0RpZML6Vyv9867GxeZZTNSqe0xUSZHtfxRpnVlny14_7VpeKYgtxWhrr876N2vEoiURSTqTQa/s1600-h/IMG_2662.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388258499687496818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-oCjFf4s13tKAxP_2csBRhqvusRgFi_cRofaESQhkk4swog0hE24L1UI1EwCC1prIOmg0RpZML6Vyv9867GxeZZTNSqe0xUSZHtfxRpnVlny14_7VpeKYgtxWhrr876N2vEoiURSTqTQa/s320/IMG_2662.JPG" /></a> My mom was a little more enthusiastic with her clapping so she got on tv more than I did. haha</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-WbOy5bShyphenhyphenmb7rQRAIIPFu2HRT9yyJETU6tdihUitii9rzpSNc9G9b_41JCu33rlIEwIQJ3v5E97SNRM3fKJIhH9LkBOw3Ufn1L8ByxYbfmjtojWgq_02BvqnRHJ6R_b6qhmvr-IkHYK/s1600-h/IMG_2664.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388258363406421346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-WbOy5bShyphenhyphenmb7rQRAIIPFu2HRT9yyJETU6tdihUitii9rzpSNc9G9b_41JCu33rlIEwIQJ3v5E97SNRM3fKJIhH9LkBOw3Ufn1L8ByxYbfmjtojWgq_02BvqnRHJ6R_b6qhmvr-IkHYK/s320/IMG_2664.JPG" /></a> The set was like I dream of Jeanie meets the Tonight Show!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzb8v9KNRqr1_gAVj6MtP9BAlj7f6eT1jmSaSOD7rUmV4gnhkLm3RiRM_PXJnvWbrmRgmDDPTVqXSgw_yCjHB5Cl74jLvpC25uiP3DqMEp3Z8WDXIhWX3mqxrEF5mTaV2db54YUPKTmfF4/s1600-h/IMG_2666.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388258354253132322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzb8v9KNRqr1_gAVj6MtP9BAlj7f6eT1jmSaSOD7rUmV4gnhkLm3RiRM_PXJnvWbrmRgmDDPTVqXSgw_yCjHB5Cl74jLvpC25uiP3DqMEp3Z8WDXIhWX3mqxrEF5mTaV2db54YUPKTmfF4/s320/IMG_2666.JPG" /></a> All of TBN is terribly gaudy!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhorhI49Jy1P8mwelLPZmrYi2c69QGgObrgkmel2qfad9AA_Q2hW9cK1c09_P7dfx4dUcMdDIgLFIcL5PX3b7ggJvlXz2c64kg2G8sMMVTS8yN0SmicyIGKvOBR-6qe3thICK1ZJrSbXwyg/s1600-h/IMG_2667.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388258346972120194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhorhI49Jy1P8mwelLPZmrYi2c69QGgObrgkmel2qfad9AA_Q2hW9cK1c09_P7dfx4dUcMdDIgLFIcL5PX3b7ggJvlXz2c64kg2G8sMMVTS8yN0SmicyIGKvOBR-6qe3thICK1ZJrSbXwyg/s320/IMG_2667.JPG" /></a> I bet all that gold could feed a lot of hungry kids!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVb6Uehob9qGm9T0NkwAzIP8UYicLYZtzVI1lNKf4Ta5FiFXQE0GrkXvQ278JAcYORxAaLdD15_2B2HasWPkhJ6I-w4yoKGD5hYAGyL9yjGYtshCHyd6cT7KmYBMe6J1aTOCXZQJtL1Hwp/s1600-h/IMG_2668.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388258339340304466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVb6Uehob9qGm9T0NkwAzIP8UYicLYZtzVI1lNKf4Ta5FiFXQE0GrkXvQ278JAcYORxAaLdD15_2B2HasWPkhJ6I-w4yoKGD5hYAGyL9yjGYtshCHyd6cT7KmYBMe6J1aTOCXZQJtL1Hwp/s320/IMG_2668.JPG" /></a>I've never seen so much gold in one place in my entire life!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBvEA5YnfR6o15ldzjXu9fu9PwzQahC3WevCQu-9Gbh0z3vbHZ08GciCabJ73tKTU8Lf3UOflY-2OI4JRTUksPEASz-El2B3dQvfgJ7ISyONkU3MHYk__42xpvwYmyiNkp2pf_coBPzBy-/s1600-h/IMG_2673.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388258330373632674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBvEA5YnfR6o15ldzjXu9fu9PwzQahC3WevCQu-9Gbh0z3vbHZ08GciCabJ73tKTU8Lf3UOflY-2OI4JRTUksPEASz-El2B3dQvfgJ7ISyONkU3MHYk__42xpvwYmyiNkp2pf_coBPzBy-/s320/IMG_2673.JPG" /></a>It was more impressive during the day to see all the marble everywhere.
