A little of this, A little of that

So this weekend was pretty great. On Friday, we always cookout with our friends Melanie and Brian and Kyle and Liz. We take turns cooking at our houses so we can see each other each week and we don't have to cook for 2 Fridays in a row :)

So this Friday was no different except for me and Ben brought along some alcohol to make the night more interesting and everyone was grateful for it! Ronnie had been staying with us all week and after a nasty wreck on Friday with a van who stopped really quickly he was not feelin so happy. So he came along with us and had a few too. Well all had a really good time and stayed out pretty late. Saturday I worked out in the yard while Ben was at work and did some laundry. It was nice out but a little hot. Saturday night we went Tim and Christina's house for a bonfire at about 9:30. It wasn't too bad but it was kind of cold for a bonfire so we left and went where anyone would go at midnight...the bar! So we stayed there until about 1:30 am and then finally wnet home and crashed since me and Ben didn't have to work Sunday. Sunday we were pretty lazy but then we finally got motivated (after some breakfast at Bob Evans!) and did some more yard work. I pulled a bunch of weeds and cleaned up and Ben mowed the whole yard and used his grandpa's hedge trimmers to cut down our out of control bushes! Then we went over to Melanie and Brian's so Ben could help Brian in his yard since they don't have a lawn mower. Me and Melanie took off in search of white skates with pink wheels for her neice's brithday and then spent some time at Brian's mom's house. The boys called when they were done and we headed back to Mel and Bri's and then got mcDonald's together. Then we got a call from Kyle and Liz saying they wanted to have a bonfire so we went over there. Half way through the night we decided smores would be a good idea and made a late night trip to giant eagle...but all were happy to have them, no one more so then me :) We didn't leave until about 1 am again...another late night for us.

We were both off for Memorial Day so it was another day of sleeping in for us! At the last minute we decided to cook out with Kyle and Liz. We met them at Acme and picked up the food and then headed back to cook out. Of course, during Kyle cooking on the grill the heavens decided to open up for about 30 minutes. We still had our delicious food though and had a relaxing afternoon. After leaving at about 6:30 we just went home and relaxed for the rest of the night!

Just an Introduction

So I decided to try this blogging thing now.



Introduction:

Me and Ben meet in High School. In the beginning I really liked Ben but he didn't like me back - he thought I was annoying :) So we did go on 1 date to give it a try in the summer of 2000 but then it kind of fell apart after that and we went separate ways but still hung out in the same circle of friends. Well then Ben decided he liked me while I was dating someone else and decided to team up with my sister to get me to break up with him. So eventually it worked...and we started dating April 14, 2001. We have been through MANY ups and downs in our lives together and I think it has only made us stronger.



We were married on April 5, 2008 after almost 7 years of dating. It was a beautiful day! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day or to be surrounded by our loving friends and family. It was a perfect way to start our lives together.



We currently live in Ellet, Ohio with our two dogs Harley Hog and Duke Davidson and our kitty Heaven. I work at GOJO Industries in Downtown Akron (makers of PURELL) and Ben works in sales.
