dress

Making a dress... We'll see how it turns out

I'm kinda improvising on a pattern... Simply using a dress that I already own. I think the top is going to look funny on. I'm probably going to have to take it off and redo it. Thanks Tara T for all the fabric:) Your scraps are my treasures.

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

I'M SO HAPPY!!!!

Today is the day that Patrick and I become debt free (except for our mortgage)!!! WHOOHOOO!
Praise the LORD! He has been very kind in providing for us to pay off my school loans in 1year instead of 7.

Baby Emadi

Congrats Brittany and Matt. He is adorable. Thanks for letting me get some pictures of him. Hope you like them!

First Picnic of 2010

I got a call from Patrick while at work today. He said he was going crazy inside and just had to get out. SO he suggested cooking out at Cherokee. I called some friends and they were up for it. I went by our old apartment to pick up our little grill. Yes we moved out almost 3 months ago and still haven't moved everything from the old apartment... we still have bikes and a few other goodies in the basement. Any way it was a good night with friends. It was also a good night to learn that you shouldn't assume that all charcoal starts with just a match. Some need lighter fluid. Thanks girl in the park for letting us borrow your lighter fluid. Thanks Brian and Jenny for being part of the first picnic of 2010.
Thanks Lord for such beautiful Spring days.

ICE LAND

Now that its 60 degrees outside. Patrick and I decide to go ice skating:)

Saturday we headed to a local ice skating rink with good friends Alex and Clint. Here are some pics to remember our time. (For the record there were only two falls. One for Clint and one for me. Ice hurts.)

Notice any one falling in this picture??? It's not me!
Patrick and Clint raced... Patrick won
Patrick and I raced... Patrick won. Please notice Patrick's technique in this picture. He watched way to much of the Olympics. He's getting a little too Apollo Ono with the one leg out ahead at the finish line.

Good Visit

Friday Patrick and I had the opportunity to go visit my sister and bro-in-law down near Bowling Green. I think I have come to realize that times when are whole family is together are fun and good but also hard to have real quality one on one time. That's why trips like the one last weekend are important. I was able to just hang out with my sister and I love that. Here are some pictures of her big boy!Funny how there aren't any pictures of me and my sister.... babies take over lives!

More things I didn't do

This afternoon I didn't greet someone by saying " 'morning ".

I then didn't walk into the bathroom and smash my finger in the bathroom stall, almost say a bad word and realize that some one I knew was in the other stall. By the way... I work at a Seminary. (And my finger still hurts!)

Last night I didn't go down in the dungeon to do laundry and find that I still had clothes in the dryer from last week.

"I'm sorry, I forgot" is not the most common thing I have been hearing myself say lately.
