LIFE STINKS...

over here at our house. Romney says it smells like money. But who cares how bad it smells...sod is coming soon.

As I made my way through the stench of it all to the mail box

I was happy to see that...our passports came today.

it's official were gonna be travelers!

Class of 99'

Well the time has come....the 10 year reunion invites have arrived!!! Am I really at the stage in my life where reunion invites come in the mail? Where did the time go?

Fortunately, I mean unfortunately (very sarcastic) I will not be able to attend this party. Why?

EUROPE BABY; I WILL BE IN EUROPE!

Dang it.

(again very sarcastic)

I will say that each year I loved high school a little more...

...like boys

football games

friends

sports

student government...

...and with each year I learned a little more...
like learn to sing BINGO in spanish
like how to make lots of friends becuase my teachers would put me in a new seat weekly...I am a talker....


By my senior year I learned all I needed to know....so I thought!



Since my graduation day in June of 99'
I Learned even more...

first and foremost: WAXING of the EYEBROWS

always have and always will have a round face

I dont have to use math everyday

The word PERIOD isnt that embarassing

Moms really dont have eyes in the back of their heads

Keyboarting really dod pay off

Who really cares that I wore longer shorts

Is it really nessessary to shave your legs everyday?

Parents accutally know what they are talking about (dont tell my mom that though)

I was in really good shape

sticking with panio would of been a good idea

My parents "pick one night to go out over the weekend" rule was actually a good rule

fair weather friends...avoid them, thats what mom always said

The boys I thought were cute ....heavens no

Your tastes change
and...
it really is more
important to be nice

...So Here is to Class of 99'...

while I'm basking in the sunlight of Italy

"Well that was kinda impulsive....now what?"

was what we said the minute after we booked our flight to.....

and.....

Paris and Italy this fall baby!!!!!
(there are amazing deals out there guys, its cheaper to fly to Europe than to go see my sister in Chicago....)

HAPPINESS IS....

Watching Romney's bulging muscles put up our block wall! It's true we are on our third yard extension with the city code enforcement lady.....

But we are progressing...

SADNESS IS.....

knowing there isn't any more infamous "Carmel DeLites" left in the cupboard. and why did they change the name Carmel DeLites from Samoas?

WHAT PRIDE???

Have you ever wondered what the outside of our house looks like? Or what the actual house itself looks like? There is a reason I have never showed this beauty off. Can you see why? I felt as those I had some pride but now.....what pride?

Here she is in all her glory!!! This my friends is OUR backyard!

This landfill.. I mean, this yard has about everything you can think of; gravel, sand, weeds, concrete blocks, railroad ties, iron fences, chicken wire, tree trunks... But thanks to the tracker (and craigslist...someone actually bought the pool) its almost all gone!!!!
...yeah our hands are full...

a bigger project than I ever thought......

Can you see why?
