The Boys!

So last week I picked my nephew Zander up and met Karl & Christopher in Alton for our 1st boys get together. We had plans to play miniture golf, but unfortuantely they had not opened for the full season yet and are only open on the weekends (this was a Wednesday). We had dinner at McD's - both boys ordered the same meal - and were glued to their DS games (the common bond) - because the golf place was closed we went to Shipleys for ice cream and then just hung out at the docks, the boys played their DS games - actually Zander played and Chris watchedm trying to pick up pointers, Zander has some special nifty game attachement that helps to get to higher levels and Chris so wanted to learn all the tricks! I'm going to try and pick him up one for his birthday in June. They both share the same birth month - but are a year apart - Zander is older - but Chris towers over him in height......

It was a nice get together - enjoyed by all - Chris can hardly wait to see Zander again, keeps asking When????? :-)

Karl and I just enjoyed being together in the middle of the week and it was a nice comfy night weather wise - we even saw a plane/boat land on the Bay(not sure what they are called)

BFF coming home!

My Best Friend is coming home today from her Vac/Honeymoon from Hawaii - I get to pick her up at the airport!
I've missed her - but so happy that her & Chris got to get away on a surprise (OMG he won a trip)honeymoon!
We will have so many stories to share about what has happened in our lives in the past 6 days.....I'm so excited!
Is it 3:30 yet???????(time I will leave for airport)
Shucks it's only 9:41am and she's just leaving LAX about now............going to be a long day :-)

"Oh Bother".............

Rings!

Wedding bands have been ordered........OMGosh!

Karl & I spent several hours shopping around on Saturday for rings, but not coming to a final conclusion and then searched on-line Sunday morning - with frustration........no one offered Karl's ring size (14 1/2) I know big finger :-)

But in the end - we happened to be in Dover yesterday on our way back to the mall, but running out of time before needing to head to the Combined service @ the Whit - I suggested we stop at Nasr Jeweler (In between Roger's & Panera Bread) I was a little skeptical, being a small business that the prices may be higher - but we went in anyways and was greeted warmly and withing 15 minutes, we found what we had been looking for, sizes and style that no one else could guarantee us - so we said Yes - order them..........so his & her bands are ordered and paid for and we are one step closer to a wedding!!!!!!

And we found rings and ordered them on our 1 month anniversary of being engaged!!!!!!

I so wish I could share this good news with my BFF - but she is in Hawaii.....................

The weekend!

Ahhhhh!
The weekend has arrived... well just as soon as I walk out the door from work :-)

Going to be in Farm town this coming week watching little Bella while my BFF is away in Hawaii - I treid to squeeze in a suitcase - but no luck!

Will make sure to post next week with Bella & Tobie stories and pics!

Until then............
