I HATE TO STUDY!!!

{ Friday, April 25, 2008 }
I hate to study. Like today I should have been studying all day because I have 6 finals in 3 days and a paper due, instead I went grocery shopping and baked banana bread. But check out the bread it is so pretty, it was totally worth it. So wish me luck on my studying....I am going to need it!! :O)

I love SPRING!!!!

{ Wednesday, April 23, 2008 }
It has been forever since I (Erin) have updated the blog, but I am a study freak so I dont have alot of spare time. Not a good excuse but still, however this summer will be better because I have less classes...so more blog!!!!! I am not going to try to catch you up since August, so I'll just stick with this week which was fabulous by the way. It has been super nice so Jon and I have taken the puppies for a walk. Lola is a smidge overweight so she is on a diet and we are trying to walk her and Jagger everyday. They love it, we love it, it is a great situation. Also yesterday some of the girls I go to school with we decided to have a picnic at lunch before class. It was a little short notice but it was so much fun and we will be more prepared next time. Again I love SPRING!!!

These are the girls I car pool with on the left Beth, Laura, me, Brandi


Enjoying a fabulous day Laura, Beth, Brandi, me, Abby

Our First Earthquake

{ Friday, April 18, 2008 }
At 5:37 Friday morning Erin and I survived our first earthquake. The earthquake was in southern Indiana, but we felt it all the way up in South Bend. So that is one natural disaster that I can cross off my list, only tornado, hurricane, avalanch, flood, and sunami to go. I think I will stay around northern Indiana and southern Michigan where most of those do not occur.

Time to Cut Wood

{ Wednesday, April 9, 2008 }
Last weekend my dad and I decided that it was a good time to start cutting up the oak tree from the front yard. The other big news is that our house is officially on the market, so if you know someone looking for a GREAT house in South Bend, pass them my way.

I was lucky enough to be able to run the bobcat for a while



The wood we cut up, looks like about 1/2. I have to convince my sister that she should do all the splitting and stacking.

Party!!!

{ Sunday, March 16, 2008 }
This, like the rest will be a short post with lots of pictures. The first picture is of a lion cake my mom made, and there was a lamb cake too, but my sister and I cut the head off of it and put it in the lion's mouth. We both thought it was pretty funny :)



Erin and Kim at the Party.



We went to Kalamazoo last weekend because Chris was in town from Florida. His mom put together a dinner in Kalamazoo, and it was good to get to see him for the little time he was in town.



While we were up I also played in an indoor soccer game with Phil, in which I was by far the best player, I scored the game winning awesome goal too. Phil scored, but my goal was definetly better.



The next week I had to be in Indy for work, so I got to hang out with Justin and Heather (the Harbert's) and baby Lily. She is getting so big already. I made Justin run a mile with me, that may of been the most amusing part of the trip :) On the other hand it may of been the ping pong.

That is about all of the fun things going on here, but remember with March Madness going on, don't forget, GO GREEN!!!! GO WHITE!!!!

Happy Leap Day!
