Cubs vs. Sox GO CUBS!

So the first weekend of the crosstown classic ended today in a SWEEP!!! Dempster pitched a Hell of a game the fans were on their feet for him! WTG Ryan! I did not get to see Kerry pitch but I am OK with that because we won!! They are going to the Cell on Friday to hopefully sweep them on their turf too. GO CUBBIES!!!!!

WOWZA! That was quite the hail storm!!

Shaun and I were taking quick naps today when we were woken to the sound of a HUGE hail storm. I think it lasted about 10 minutes and the hail was as big as a quarter. It was so loud against the windows and the air conditioner unit. Hopefully it did not do any damage to the car. It kept raining so I did not get a chance to go look. Here are a few pictures I got. I wanted to get a couple when it was really coming down and the hail was at it's largest but I would have put myself and the camera in the line of fire and trust me that would not have felt good!



In other news Micah and Alison are in their new place now. Shaun took the South shore train to South Bend and Micah picked him up at the airport there. They moved loads to the new house from the storage unit all day and then I headed there after work. After going 50 miles out of the way from getting lost I was there. We had a lot of fun sitting up and talking till way late. This morning we hung around the house, had really horrible service at the Steak and Shake there and then came home. Looking forward to going back soon!

Father's Day

It was great being in Traverse City for Father's Day. It was a full packed couple days but I was able to spend the last couple hours in town with my Dad. I went a little crazy uploading photos for this one because Skyy was there and I got SO many great picks of her with my new camera. Here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

A Graduation Party

I went home last weekend for a very special Graduation Party. Almost 11 years ago I lost my best friend in a car accident 3 days before Christmas. That is definitely one of the hardest things I have ever dealt with. I am blessed that her family is still in my life. This weekend her little brother (well he will always be little in my mind) had his graduation party. I had to be there to celebrate with him. It was so wonderful to see so many people from my past and the flood of memories it brought back was almost overwhelming. Here are a few pictures of the event.

Thank you Grandma!!

When I went home this last weekend, my Grandma showed me the quilt that she made for me. Every single stitch was done by hand and it is absolutly AMAZING!!! My Grandma is so talented in many ways and I am so proud to have another thing mae with love by her. I am looking forward to putting it on my bed! Thank you Grandma!!

Quickutz Mania!!

Wednesday at work, Spencer from Quickutz visited for a fun filled night. The Windy City QT's and several other Quickutz addicts joined us for a make and take and some awesome prizes! I was so jealous of the girls that attended! Working at Windy City I am not eligible for the prizes and man were they good ones. Everyone walked away with at least one goody. The 3 grand prize winners; Dominique, Carol and Heather all received a $100 Quickutz shopping spree. YAY!! The bottom photo is a whole nother story. We will just say that Spencer was helping Susan "see" her crush. Thank you Spencer for visiting and we will see you next month during CHA!

My new haircut

So a few people have requested new haircut pictures. Shaun took several but I HATE how I look in pictures!! I know, crazy since I am a scrapbooker and I am constantly taking pictures. Oh well. This one that I am posting was the best of the bunch. Anywhoo, here ya go!
