First Party!

so i wrote this a week ago and never published it because it wouldn't let me here it is...

We had our first dinner party on Friday night that was planned the Tuesday before. Needless to say it was a lot of work to get everything in shape without having a weekend to prepare for it! But we did it! We had I think 27 people there!! A LOT! It was fun and it was great to let the people who haven’t seen the house yet see it. Not to mention we finally got the motivation to finish cleaning out the “living room” that had become a home to all the stuff we didn’t know what to do with. We set up card tables in both of the empty front rooms (dining and living) for people to sit and have dinner.
Luckily the rain held out until the steaks were finished grilling, but after that the bottom fell out! And it POURED for the rest of the night.
Overall I think it was a good party and everyone had a lot of fun --- but maybe we shouldn’t have THAT many people next time! ;-)
Mom and dad spent the night and the next morning we had bagels and played the wii! Then Rena and I went to the mall and she bought a new Macbook Pro! We had dinner with her parents Saturday night. Sunday was pretty much a lazy day and we just went to Costco and the grocery store.
School starts next week for me and Labor Day is coming up – that means a nice long weekend! Woo Hoo!

Oh and P.S. a week ago Rena bought me a new iPod!!! Great surprise to see on the kitchen table when I walked in from work! Unfortunately if she would have waited a week she could have gotten it for free when she bought her computer! Darn!
We forgot to take pictures on Friday but I did take a few with my iPhone. (which I can't post because I keep getting an error message!)

P.S. Thank you to our wonderful moms that helped with the party! Patty got us a fridge for our garage! Whoo! And thank you mom for making food and helping clean up the next morning!

Ah Sorry!

Well I have totally neglected by blog! Sorry!

I just finished cutting the grass - woo that is a production. Re bought me a new lawn mower that is amazing. It is a craftsman and has a key start and a thing where you can hook it up to the hose and crank it and it will rinse the underside for you. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. We were going to try and be all environmentally friendly and try the reel mower (You know the old kind with no motor) Ha well that lasted a week. It's next to impossible when you have 9000 sq ft. of sod. So anyone wanting to try a reel mower let me know... i have one for sale!The beach has come and gone and it was great!!! Me, Re, and Putt had an awesome time and really enjoyed ourselves!

We have another trip planned to go to Islamorada which is one of the Keys in October over my birthday. So far we have a big group going of almost 20 people. Can't Wait!

We've been going to the lake the past two weekends which has been great. Kind of sad that we didn't go up there more often this summer. Love it.

The house is doing well we are busy keeping it up and doing yard stuff. We haven't really done much to it since the last post but we are about to get bedroom furniture and a new tv for the bedroom too! That will be exciting!

Open House/Housewarming party will be soon probably late August---- errrr maybe.

Oh Rena had the bright idea to start a puzzle. Mind you I do not like puzzles at all. So she starts it while I start to attempt to make my first batch of homemade beer. (yea that is exciting i'll keep you posted on how that goes right now it has to sit for 14 day to ferment... yum) And she gets the whole edge together except for one peice... we can't find it anywhere. So we'll keep putting it together and hopefully it will surface. I hope jake didn't eat it ;-)I've rambled enough for now, Re and I are enjoying a lazy sunday and watching the bravos. I used to hate staying in all day on the weekends, but now I've come to realize these are my favorite days. i love my life.
