Happy Almost Easter!

I promised that I would try and blog at least once week, so here ya go.....

Last weekend Chris and I drove out to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania to meet up with his mom and her friend Sue. Linda was in Ohio visiting Sue and we thought it would be fun to meet them somewhere. We picked Wilkes-Barre cause it seemed to be close to being in the middle of Youngstown, Ohio and Boston. Which it pretty much turned out to be...a five hour drive for them and 4 1/2 for us. We spent the night there and spent most of Friday and then Saturday morning with them. We had a wonderful visit, it was nice to just spend some time relaxing together. On the way home Chris and I made a stop in Manchester, Connecticut to have some supper at Red Robin. YUM! We love Red Robin and they don't have them here in MA.

I was supposed to go to the dentist today to have one of my bad molars pulled, but the oral surgeon didn't make it into work today. Part of me was relieved cause I am so scared to go anyways, but then the other part was frustrated cause I just want it over with. Anyway, they rescheduled my appointment for April 4th. So now I have a whole week to get myself all worked up about it. I really am just a big ol' chicken.

Anyways things are still good out here for us, we love it here. The new church is wonderful, Chris is actually getting busy getting everything in order for the mens softball team he has gotten together at church. They will be playing in on of the city leagues. He is pretty excited about that.

That is all, nothing else exciting going on around here. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week. And hey, please feel free to post comments...it's always nice to hear from people.

Happy Easter!!!

The Dentist

I know I know......FINALLY!!! That is what you are all saying, I can almost hear you.... I really need to try and post at least once a week until we once again have a running computer.

I feel the need to tell you all that I am a HUGE wuss and terrified of the dentist. I am sure I am not the only one, it is a common fear in many people. Anyways I had to go to the dentist today...to make a long story short I cracked some teeth like 3 years ago and never got them dealt with, so now I need to have my back molar on the left and the right pulled. As well as a root canal on another. LOVELY!!!! I suppose it isn't so bad, I go back tomorrow for my cleaning and then the 24th for the first tooth and then a week later for the second tooth. Then probably back in for the root canal shortly thereafter. The good news is the dentist said after all is said and done I should be good to go. Which makes me happy, cause well no offense to him but I HATE the dentist. lol.

Anywho, things are good. Chris and I are still going to Hope Fellowship and still loving it. We have gotten to know a lot of people and are making new friends. It took a while to find this church, but I am certain it was worth it and I am certain we will be regulars there for quite some time.

I guess that is all for now, hope everyone is doing well. Oh and Happy Birthday Bryan if you ever read this! lol.

That is all..........

CHRIS POSTED......HOORAY!!!

Well well....looks like my other half realized he can type;) See now wasn't that a nice surprise for everyone. Something different than little old me rambling on and on and on.....

While we are on the topic of Napoleon Dynamite....Lori, you were right...you either love it or you hate it. And I loved it, sure it was super stupid and pointless but that is why it was funny.

That is all I have for today....no complaining, you just had a nice long post from Chris. We can't give you too much in one day now can we. I promise though to TRY and be back tomorrow with more exciting stories for you all.

Hope everyone is having a great week!!

Yes, I can be a contributing member...

Hello all, I haven't got around to posting in quite a bit lately, mostly because there is not much going on in my half of the "Adventures." We did get to watch Napoleon Dynamite last weekend after much waiting due to Netflix being mega-slow (and apparently buying 4 copies of the movie for all of Eastern Massachusetts.) I thought it was quite funny most of the time..."I'll do whatever I feel like doing...GOSH!" But it also dragged in a couple of spots, which all movies do anyways. The dancing scene is classic, as is the extra wedding scene at the end. Kip is great, but I think I rolled the most when Napoleon tried Uncle Rico's "time machine" that he bought off the internet. Money.

Anyways, I am just working a lot, today I had 4 different service calls all about the city. Usually a "busy" day is 2 or so. I think I am drinking to much espresso. I tend to get a drink after every service call I do (either a caramel macchiato, peppermint mocha, or gingerbread latte) and of course they are all free, so why not, right? But later on in the day I get all hyper, but then I crash when I get home. I just want to lay on the futon and watch TV. (I think that even BEFORE the job with Starbucks, I would prefer to lay down and watch TV...) But I think I need to curb my espresso habit to 1 or 2 drinks per day, and only in the morning/noon time.

No hockey sucks. I can only take so much NBA (of which I am sick of and have not watched since about week 3 of the season), and golf is only on during the weekends. Which leaves nothing. No sports events to look forward to, not until baseball starts and I can stay up until 10 PM just to watch the Mariners for a couple of innings before I fall asleep. Lovely. The Hawks have retained their Big Three, which I never thought they'd be able to do, but hey, I guess a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game since 1893 (No that is NOT a typo) has to start somewhere. Phil has been playing well to start the year, winning the last 2 tourneys, which has been great to watch. Hopefully he can ride that wave into the Masters and defend his title. Other than baseball, the Masters is something I am really looking forward to. Anyways, I suppose I should wrap this up. Besides, my fingers hurt.

Yes we are still alive...but our computer is not. I think that it has finally gone up to the little computer heaven in the sky. So for now I will have to try my best to update this once or twice a week. And like I always say....if you are looking for excitement Lori's blog is a great place for such things;)

Anyways things are about the same around here. Church is good, we went to "married couples night" the other night and had a great time and met a bunch of new people.

I am still counting down the days till our trip, I am soooooo excited.

That is all.......;)

Dinner and a Movie

WOW, two days in row...can you believe your eyes?!? I almost can't. I will be so happy once we have a working computer, one that I can turn on and check my email without having to wonder if the computer will freeze, or even load for that matter. Although, we do choose to suffer since we are saving every penny for our trip. Soon enough though, we do have some things in the works to get this thing running smoothly again. Anyways.....

Last night Chris and I had a wonderful evening together. As I mentioned yesterday we went to see Shakespeare in Love downtown Boston at The Wang Theatre. It was so fun, the movie was GREAT! We had never seen it and I am not sure why because it was so good. Now I understand why it won so many academy awards in '98. The theatre itself is incredible. It seats like 3000 and is absolutely beautiful. I must point out that it is not a movie theatre, it is actually a performing arts center. The cool thing is we found out last night that they actually have "Movie Mondays" once a month and it is always free. How cool is that!? Anyways check out the website and look at "panoramic view" to see the inside of the theatre. After the movie we went for a late dinner at Rock Bottom Brewery right across the street. It was so good, and what could have been an expensive "date" turned out to be a $23 dollar night including tip. Can't complain about that....dinner and a movie for under 25 bucks.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Everyone should be happy (especially Lori) that not only am I posting today, but I also posted a ton of pictures for your viewing enjoyment:)

So we weren't sure what we were going to do today to celebrate Valentine's Day, we are going on vacation soon and so we are saving every penny we have. Anyway Chris just called me a little while ago to tell me that one of the big theatres downtown Boston is playing Shakespeare In Love for free tonight. How fun, so it is dinner for us and then off to the movie. I am not sure where we are going to go for dinner though, I will have to think about that one still.

We didn't get to church this Sunday since I have been sick since last Tuesday. First it was the full on flu (YUCK), and then turned into some sort of nasty upper respiratory infection or something. Although about 5 people have told me I totally sounded like I had laryngitis. Who knows....what I do know is that I am feeling A LOT better today.

We also were dog sitting for our landlords this past week. They live upstairs so we didn't really have to go far. But it was fun, and so good for Belle to have all the social time. They did have their moments though, my dog does not take well to other dogs getting near her food or toys. Aside from that stuff though I think all 3 of them had a great time playing.

I don't want to tempt fate here and write some long post only to have it freeze. Hopefully it won't be so long this time in between posts.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

I came across this pic of me today from a few years back. It made me laugh, look how dirty my car is. How I loved that little blue car, lol. Really though I did, it got me where I needed to go and where Tammy needed to go. lol!

On Christmas day Chris and I drove out to the tip of Cape Cod. It is about a 2 hour drive, we had a wonderful afternoon walking along the beaches and stuff. It was COLD though and the wind was nasty, good thing it wasn't snowing yet!
