Wednesday 8/25/10

On wednesday the new carpet got installed. They were supposed to come between 11am-3pm, but didn't make it out until 6pm!

When I called Home Depot to see where they were, she said that the guys didn't even have a reason why they were late and offered to give us $50 back, which made the wait a little better.

We ended up just chilling at home and having a picnic outside. That morning I went and took a Algebra placement test, because you need Algebra to get into the CCAC nursing program. I was thrilled to place out of it. It saved us hundreds of dollars and all that class time, so Matt took us out to eat. He's so good to me!

The only class I have to take this fall is computer, which is only two Saturdays from 8am-4pm. Can't beat that! I almost have all my other pre-requisites done. In the spring I'm going to get my English 2 done, if I don't place out of it as well. Then I can focus only on getting my clinical done next fall.

Anyways, it was nice to have a laid back day at home, but the house was a mess with furniture scattered here and there, so we spent most of the day outside. Time flies when you're with the ones you love though. :)

Spaghetti Tuesday 8/24/10

Last Tuesday, I allowed the girls to eat spaghetti in the livingroom. Yes, you heard correct lol! We were getting new carpet the following day, so I thought what the heck. I made one of the messiest dinners and told the girls to go to town, just this once! They had a blast lol!

That night, Matt moved all the furniture and took the carpet out. The floors were surprisingly nice underneath, a bit dark for my liking though. Here are some pics of my cupcakes enjoying their messy tuesday :)

Youghiogheny Lake

Last weekend Matt and I went with a group of friends to Youghiogheny Lake. Did I mention we were kid free? The girls stayed with grandma. Even though I missed my girls desperately, we had such a great time!
Youghiogheny Lake 8/21/10

Our first day consisted of going out on the pontoon boat, tubing, swimming in the lake and enjoying the sunny day out. I never went tubing before, so I was excited to try it out. About a minite into it I was able to flip Matt out of his tube lol.

Matt falling off his tube (thanks to me haha) He enjoyed it too much though :/ lol

The rest of our tubing, Matt tried to get me back, but I think he felt bad and let off a bit, because I know he could very easily lol. Matt failed to put sunscreen on, so his name for the rest of the weekend was lobster haha.

After spending most of the day on the lake, we went back to our friend Kate's camp and ate dinner. Her stepmom makes everything. She makes her own, wine, candy, jelly and what not. For dinner she made delicious chicken, hobo potatoes and corn on the cob. Yummy!

The second day we went back out on the lake, but the pontoon wasn't running up to par, so we ended up dropping it off to the mechanic and called it a day. It was still nice to get out while it lasted. Matt and I need to take more trips like that. Kate's parents told us to come out anytime and that we could bring the girls too. They would love that.

Thanks so much Katie and to your family for allowing us to come out. We had a blast! As I've said many time before, we are truly blessed!
