Yup, we are heading to Iowa and we are so excited! We're going to be camping, roasting melllows, playing with the hoarse's and corn holing the heck out of it(it's probably the best game ever, if you haven't heard of it). Take care, dont miss us too much and we'll be back on the 11th!
That is one word to describe today's topic...Nick Arrojo, some may be familiar with him some may not. He is the hairstylist on the show "What not to Wear" And he drives me crazy. To a point I'm almost obsessing because I have to watch to see how he ruins someone's hair. He's so typical he always cuts all their hair off, gives them a bob with close to no layers and a nice neutral color. I'll give it to him, I like that he gives them simple color(because most would not maintain good hi-lights and such) but I feel he always gives these woman cuts that just age them. And my biggest peeve, woman with super curly hair he always styles super straight and is like BAM! There you go...lets be real, if they have super curly hair and straightening is going to take some time. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT! So why not just cut there hair to style curly, Make sense? I know I'm rambling but I'm fired up from last nights show. I'm not saying I'm an amazing hairstylist by any means, but this guy is SO overrated, they need to find a new stylist!
So, my sister Carrie had to get Surgery this past week, boo, I know, no fun. And my mom flew into DC to help take care of her i.e. make sure she takes her meds and doesn't over do it. Well, I was talking with them Friday morning, feeling so envious that they were together and in DC. LUCKY! So, my sis pops in "hey why don't you guys come for the weekend, I'll take care of the gas" Now who can say no to an offer like that. And what's a 12 hour drive, nothing to us. So, within an hour and half we were loaded up and gone. How fun! huh?!?
Well, it was a blast, Caden was horrible but we're all crediting that to lack of sleep. But, minus the little monster we had a blast! 
No, we didn't do anything amazing, but we went to the farmers market and got some heavenly cookies, air force memorial, the mall, swimming. 
It just felt so great to be with my family, and it felt like a vacation for the three of us, granted we lived there the last for years none the less a vacation. And it felt like we hadn't even left dc, it was so good to be back! 
So, it was a short trip-we came back Monday afternoon because Eric Had to work an hour on Tuesday-lame! But, the drive was totally worth it and we had a blast with Carrie and my mom!
**To my DC friends I'm sorry we didn't come see any of you, We really would have LOVE to but we just really wanted to spend as much time as possible with the family. But don't you worry this is certainly not our last trip! Next trip we will catch you!
I know I have been slacking, but to be quite honest there is just not much to update. Our lives are pretty boring, caden and I go to the pool everyday. And most days meet up with our apartment friends Abby and Kate(Abby is Caden's new BFF, Buzz is now replaced). And Eric works a ton still. But, some good news we are going to Iowa on July 1st. YEAH! WE are super excited for that and as always looking forward to it.
Thats all.
Sorry.
So, Eric has been in the field all week and got to come home last night for the evening. Well, to say the least he did not look good. The chiggers had gotten to him and he had at least 40 bites, so yucky! Here are the poor guys legs
And he had to go back out today til monday!
We went to Wal-mart and Caden saw a cowboy hat and instantly screamed "Woody" So, I let him try it on thinking that he wouldnt wear it, ha, was I wrong. He won't take it off, and he insists his name is not Caden with the hat on but "Woody". And he runs around with his stick horse, it is so stinkin cute!
For those that don't know the story of my piano I will give you the pleasure of hearing it. My mom and I are have always loved playing the piano it's our thing. So, she really wanted to buy me one, but I told her not to blow the bank we will be moving around a lot, she wanted to give me hers but by the time she shipped it there's a whole piano. So, ANYWAYS she was looking on Ebay she just got addicted to it and found a piano for ONE DOLLAR, that's right, four quarters, ten dimes, 100 pennies. And she bought it. We had to drive three hours with a trailer to pick it up in MD. Needless to say this piano rocks, a couple scraps but if you know me I like the scraps it gives it character. A good tuning and it sounds like a million bucks. So, thank you mom for the piano. And it's about dang time I fixed the bench(it never occured to me to do so. So, I finished my piano bench. And not to brag but I think it turned out pretty well. Now all I need to do is fix the two front wheels on the piano and wheel it out to the porch and put a gloss coat on it. What do you think of the bench?

Well, I discovered a store here in Columbus and I have to say I love it, from the moment I walked in I was so inspired to sew! Crazy enough it's called "Sew much Fun" I know I sound like an old lady. But, when you were raised with a mother like mine, who is so resourceful and creative. Sewing, cooking all seems so natural in a home. So, I am a sewer. I'm not great by any means but would love to be better. I may be taking some class's in the near future. Yeah to sewing!
