BIG NEWS!

As you probably guess from looking to the left - Andy and I are PREGNANT! I was going to wait, but it seems that almost everyone knows so I might as well post about it. I went to the doctor's yesterday just for blood work and other pre-natal stuff. So far so good, well except we think Diesel knows because he is being really protective of me around others and has been acting jealous. Who knows what dogs can tell.

A little political...

OK, I have tried not to get too political but Andy and I saw a commercial last night that I have to share. You can see it on http://www.americanissuesproject.org/ After we saw it we both just looked at each other in disbelief (mostly because the Conservatives now have a group to go against moveon.org) but also because of the contents. You have to watch it and see for yourself.

Bring a Guest....

And come to the fest! That's right it is GAF time again and as usual it was a GREAT time!

Andy, Sarah and Sean were all having a good time.
It was VERY hot and there was little wind, so us girls are just shiny!
Kelly and Chris were having a good time also.
Andy and Sean wanted to pose for a picture, not sure how Andy ended up as the girl?
My favorite thing was the pickles, Chrissy was trying to take a bite - but it was MINE!

At the end of the night (about 12:30am) everyone was dancing and Andy and I finally got to take a load off. It was a fun, yet tiring, time!

Cedar Point

This is late, but 2 Sundays ago Andy, Mom, Lee, Julie, Alex, Elena and I went to Cedar POint. Now, I did not take a lot of photos and Julie said she would send me some. Until than here are some photos I took.

As you can see our ride to CP was quite entertaining. So much that we missed the exit!
I think Andy is having more fun than Elena on Woodstock Express!
Alex was too busy driving the train to look

Elena is on her favorite ride, Froghopper, if you look closely she is on the pink frog (if you didn't know pink is her favorite color). Actually, there was another girl in that seat who had to get off so Elena quickly jumped from the yellow frog to the pink one!

My Boys

Birthdays

I invited family and friends over to our house for Andy's birthday (July 12th), but I forgot to take a lot of photos!

Julie and Lee were very kind and stopped by the Cheesecake Factory to pick up a Cookie Dough Cheesecake for Andy. For those of you that don't know, Andy and I LOVE Cheesecake Factory and have been known to drive to Columbus or Cleveland just for cheesecake. Not to mention tailgating at Crew soccer games with cheesecake!

Andy and his brother, Chris, were having a good time! (Sorry for the bad picks, but atleast there were some!)

The following weekend (July 18th) was Sarah's birthday and the annual canoe trip! Sean (Sarah's husband) had been planning a nice 30th for her for months. I was in charge of the cake (which took a dive in the car but still tasted good!)

Sean had both the sign and shirt made for her. Unfortunately, on Friday (her birthday) it was like 100 degrees so Sarah was a HOT 1978 classic! Tricia (Sarah's sister) bought her the crown and I got her the fun party cup!

Weather was good until Sunday. We woke up to sprinkles and a heavy down poor. We all decided to stay so we tarpped up everything we could and made the "grotto" (pictured below) that consisted of 3 tents.


On Monday morning we had survived the big storm that came in over night (not that Andy and I knew we slept through it all). Poor Kim and Ryan were found in their car. I asked if the "grotto" had failed and they were rained on, but the real reason was that between the thunder and Andy's snoring they could not fall asleep! Everyone asked how I can sleep in the same room with the bear, I said I go to bed first.

New Job!

I guess I haven't written anything in awhile! The big news since last time is that I got a job here in Findlay. No more driving the hour commute to Toledo and filling up my car twice a week! I will be working at Family Resource Center which provides mental health counseling to children between the ages of 2-18. I am going to start out with adolescents and they will train me to be with the little guys in the next few months. I am very sad to be leaving my job in Toledo, which has been difficult letting all of my current clients know that I am leaving. But I will remain at the Private Practice on Saturdays (and maybe one evening a week). I am a little nervous but I am excited to start working only 15 minutes from home!
