Father's Day

Father's Day is over and done, but it was a nice one. I got my dad a Led Zeppelin concert on Blu Ray and Slumdog Millionaire on Blu Ray. He seemed pretty pleased. I didn't get to spend as much time with him as I would have liked. Chase had to work and couldn't bring me to Dad's till he got home and then when he came to pick me up (after visiting his Dad) he didn't wanna stick around because he'd been working all day. But I should be spending more time with him in a couple weeks when he takes me to Savannah to help me find a place to live down there. So anyway, thanks Dad for being so awesome.


In other father's day news I came across this beautiful and touching website:
Days With My Father
This man had to help care for his father after his mother died. His father had short term memory loss and was a little confused about things. It was such a touching story about the love between a father and his son. I highly recommend checking it out even if you aren't a huge fan of sappy stories. I am certain you will read this website from beginning to end.

Our fun date day

Well, as I mentioned in my last blog, Chase and I have not had a lot of time together lately. So we decided to take some time for just the two of us and do something fun. We rarely go to the movies because after buying two tickets we could own the movie for the same price when it comes out. However, nothing beats seeing a movie in theaters. I find this to be especially true when it comes to horror movies because of the giant screen and excruciatingly loud speakers. So we decided to go see Drag Me To Hell. Wow......wow.......and did I mention wow? That movie was great! The casting was just perfect.


Alison Lohman was completely adorable and endearing. I figured it would have a couple jump scenes and a lot of laughs, but goodness gracious I was like on the edge of my seat for the whole movie. I think it had been so long since Chase had seen a horror movie in theaters he was grasping at my arm and whimpering like a little girl. It was awesome. I think we may go see it again when it comes out at the dollar theater. Then we went shopping to get new bathing suits for the summer. So the next day we put our suits to good use and went to Lake Conasauga.



We took a walk around the lake and then we went swimming. Chase's mom made this giant sandwiches with homemade bread and melty cheese for dinner. It was a perfect day. :-)

Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall.....

So Chase has been rather busy lately and we haven't had a lot of "us" time. So last night and today we crammed in a few weeks worth of fun. We had a great time and I fully intended to write about it, but I think I'm going to take some more ibuprofen and go to bed instead. All was going well until we stopped by his dad's to drop off the drum set and I was headed up the stairs and somebody says, "What is that noise? Do you hear that??" I turn around to listen to the noise and will probably be wishing I had not done that for a few weeks. I have weak ankles that tend to just turn my foot on its side when I run or step just right and apparently I stepped just right on the last step. So I only had one step to fall (thank goodness), but I did it about as gracelessly as possible. With my laptop tucked under one arm (yeah, the one time I leave the house with it) I flew into the air in what I can only imagine looked something like the Peanut gang fixing up Charlie Brown's Christmas tree.



There were suddenly several pairs of limbs flailing in all directions. Only when it was all over there was no glorious Christmas tree in my place.



I landed in a painful heap on the ground. The only redeeming quality of the whole thing is that I landed with my laptop still tucked safely under my arm. (which Derek still can't believe) Upon landing on the wood floor I had three guys run in my direction looking like there was a large plank sticking out of my forehead or something. Luckily, I think I'm just bruised and sore with a possible sprain. But hopefully I will be back tomorrow to write about our lovely day. So goodnight!

Hide and Seek with the Girls

I visited my mom yesterday while Chase was at work and the girls wanted to play hide and go seek with me. So I counted to 20 and.....

Yes, the tub. It was adorable because Sailor jumped out when I found them and told me that she had to lay with bugs until I found her. Then it was Genevieve's turn to hide all by herself...

It would have been a great hiding place if she had bothered to close the doors.

Then Sailor ran to hide. She was fun to find because she always looked so shocked that you found her.

Genevieve's turn to hide was hilarious because she laughed the whole way to her hiding place where I found this...

"Oh where could Genevieve be?"

It was a fun night. And mom probably enjoys it when the girls are occupied while she tries to cook.

National Ice Tea Month

Yes, that's right. It is national ice tea month! And if you've ever been to the south then you know that we love our tea. Chase and I have have been repeatedly quoting this Tim and Eric skit since we saw it. It gives us unending pleasure on a daily basis. I just have to spread the joy!
