Christmas tree fun

Thor was so excited that we put up the Christmas tree, he wore himself out. He crawled under the skirt and fell asleep.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are heading on our way up to New Hope for the day to Brent's grandparents house, should be a nice day of eating and hanging out:) It's been one crazy week at work for me and for Brent, so it's nice to have this one day off before the even crazier weekend ahead.

Hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving!

Tina's obsession

Lately whenever we even start heading into the direction of the bathroom, Tina beats us there and is in the sink whining, she is obsessed with the water in the sink. She loves drinking from it and putting her paws under the running water. I should have never let her try it.

I got my haircut today and they were giving free makeovers, owwwww!

I was having some issues with my camera lighting all day long, I think it's time for a new camera. This one will have to do for a while. I just wanted to say how much fun we had this weekend at the wedding, it was wonderful. I am so happy to have been a part of the big day. I am also so glad to have tomorrow off yet, a day to just relax before going back to work.

Christine, Curt and Claire

Welcome to the family Christine- This is Brent posting his recap of the wedding.


This weekend was Curt and Christine’s wedding. The event ran very smoothly once the ground rules were set by the teachers of the group. I personally had a great time the entire day. I started the day out shopping with Curt to pick up some items for later in the day. Then it was off to the church for pictures. This was a lot of fun since basically all that it consisted of was hanging out with the greatest group of friends and family ever assembled (I may be slightly biased on this). The ceremony went great (once the musicians showed)(I probably should have known that the orchestra folk would show last minute being that I use to roll with that crazy crowd). Then it was off to the reception. The meal was delicious. The love story was wonderful and the decorations were quite beautiful. All of the planning definitely showed (nice job Curt). The toasts were quite possibly some of the best in wedding history. Carolyn went with the very touching and heart warming story of how these two bring out the best in one another, while I went with a more comical story of mud bogging in the lebaron. It is thought by some that I became a bit emotional and actually may have cried a bit toward the end of my toast. I would like to set the record straight on this matter. What had actually happened is that while giving my toast, the wait staff removed the remains of my dinner before I had a chance to do anything about it. That really upset me and we will just leave it at that. Some highlights from the dance include Trent’s electric slide tutorial (I think that we may have another teacher in the makings) and watching Curt attempt the "Soulja Boy". It was a great day. Welcome to the family Mrs. Wood. Congratulations to you both.

Oxygen bar

Shopping was a success today for my mom and I. We covered a lot of ground, we picked up Doug and Brent's tuxes first thing at Southdale mall and then onto the MOA. I think we can both say the favorite part of the day was the oxygen bar. We stopped in at this place and two ladies were just finishing up and they talked us into it, something we would have never done otherwise. It was awesome!!! A 15 minute chair massage for me while hooked up to lavendar oxygen and listening to soothing music. Then a 5 minute trip to the oxygen bar with an energy drink and a head massage while hooked up to Sex on the Beach oxygen, I know crazy day at the mall eh.

We will definately be making the oxygen bar part of our yearly tradition.

Sorry, no pictures, who would have thought we needed our camera while shopping.

Christmas shopping

That's right, it's November, time to think about Christmas shopping. Tomorrow my mom and I are making our annual trek to the Mall of America to do some Christmas shopping, it's tons of fun to spend the day together and shop. Although my mom does not usually like shopping much, we have a blast. So, if any of you out there have any good ideas for presents, let me know.

Nice weekend off

Brent showing off his new winter jacket. Friday was my day off of work and Brent took the afternoon off, so it was nice to hang out for the afternoon with no homework. Friday night Curt and Christine came to get some last minute wedding details finalized, so we joined the family for dinner at the Olive Garden. The wedding is only a week away, it's going to be so much fun!

Saturday I went with my mom to see my grandma, she is really liking the assisted living facility she moved into, which makes us happy. Sat. night Brent and I went to the American Gangster, great movie, we recommend it.

It was a great weekend off of work and now this week I just work Mon-Wed. and then I am using some vacation days, so I have 5 days off. I have to use them or lose them, so it seemed like a perfect time to use them around the big wedding.

Conquered

That is right, Brent conquered the rubiks cube, I am living with some type of genius.
