Kung Fu Harbert

No, it is not a new "must have" toy for christmas, it is what I tried to convince Justin to name his next child (sorry Heather). This past week was a long and tiring one for me. On Thursday I had the day off work, so I met my adopted sister (Lynnie) for lunch, then kicked back and watch some of the dog whisperer. Then I got to go and practice with Phil's soccer team which was fun.

Friday was my test, which I almost missed, apparently it takes 59 minutes and 30 seconds to get from my parents house to where my test was. I walked in and they shut the doors 30 seconds later to start the test. 8 hours later I was done!! I won't know how I did for another 3-4 months.

Saturday my dad and I went to Sturgis to fix my grandparents porch. (see pictures below).





On the way home I thought I would be nice and stop and buy Erin some flowers. I got into the store and saw that I could do WAY better than that. I thought to myself...if I bought her flowers they would only last a week to enjoy, but if I bought her something else she could enjoy it for much longer than that. That's right, I bought her a TREE (norfolk island pine). She was a little thrown off at first, but I think she is beginning to like it.

Erin went shopping with her mom, sister Kate, and grandma on Saturday and came back to South Bend Saturday night. We went out to celebrate me finishing my test, and her finishing another hard week of school.

On Sunday I decided to get back to working on the bathroom, and we bought a new pot for a fern that Erin is still nursing, so that we could re-pot the lovely tree that I bought her. (see pictures below)
