More Fun Times

{ Wednesday, August 22, 2007 }
We had such a busy weekend I couldn't fit all the excitment into one blog. So here is the weekend continued. So Sunday we had brunch with Mrs. C, Larry and Kristin to celebrate Larry's birthday. We had some good food and good times. Later that afternoon we atem more good food, (liquid cheese and cake-I was in heaven)at a family friends anniversary party. Then we ate more good food at my cousin Levi's, aka the ring bearer, birthday party. He was decked out in a cowboy hat, cowboy boots and a leather belt. He made out like a bandit!!! Here he is sporting the hat and 70's shag hair!!!!



Jon and I rocked the transformer masks...Wow we are cool :O)



The puppies haven't been on the blog in awhile so here is a pic of them being cute. AWWWWWWW.....

Over the Weekend

{ Tuesday, August 21, 2007 }
So I think we had a pretty fabulous weekend. I (not really) celebrated my last day of work before I go back to school for 3 long years. But I am moving on to bigger things so yay for me. We for real celebrated Kim going to school every night all summer working towards her MBA. Yay Kim!! We decided to mark this joyous occasion by camping. However we only lasted one night because it rained, but it was a fun one night. Saturday night we went out to dinner and everyone was in bed by 10pm (with the exception of me who rocked 830pm!!!)

These are my guys for work. I am going to miss them!! Mikey (my replacement), me, new therapist Andrew, therapist Casey




A friendly game of Horseshoes between Jon and Phil (yeah right with the friendly!!)


More camping fun


Us giving up on camping and enjoying a nice meal inside...safe from the rain :O)


More wonderful news...I FOUND MY WEDDING DRESS. My Mom, Grandma, Sister Kate (Em sold me out of camping with (sigh) Tony and Kim took the Bridal shop by storm. I pretty much had it picked out but it was still fun to try all the dresses on. I choose a beautiful dress that I love. Sorry no pics. Jon checks the blog. I had a great time and I am glad I got to share it with my family and friends. I also picked out the bridesmaid dresses...pics to come later. Stay tuned for more updates!!!

Erin Sucks at Blogging

{ Wednesday, August 15, 2007 }
I know I know I am a horrible blogger. It has been almost a month since I posted anything new (ahhh sorry guys ). And the best part is we have actually been pretty busy doing some super fun things. Ok here is the run down of the past month....

Ok in July Phil, Kim, Jon and I plus Curtis and a few others travled down to Indy to visit Justin, Heather (and baby Lily) and watch the annual Soccer tourney. It is always fun to watch the boys play!! Then with perfect timing Kim and I were able to attend one of Heather's Baby showers thrown by her Grandma and Aunt. It was a beautiful shower. Thank you for inviting us!! :O)

Next weekend we became Amsterburg's and attended Phil's family reunion. Good times. I got to hold Baby Robby...he is just too cute!!! On a sad note that was the last time we are going to see Curtis for a while. He is moving to Hawaii for school. We are going to miss you Curty!!!!




Alright first weekend in August Jon and I did a good deed an volunteered at the Logan's Run; which is an event used to raise money for people with mental disabilities. We had a great time directing the runners and I got to see the Golden Dome on Notre Dame's campus. It was definitely a good day.

Ok most current weekend Kim and I took a trip to Chi-town with my work to scope out Navy Pier and take an evening dinner boat ride out to Lake Michigan to see the fireworks. Dinner was good, the view was amazing, the company fabulous, and the boat ride was rocky at times but no puking (way to go Erin!!)

All in all we have been busy busy...I promise to be a better blogger in the future... :)

Roughing it Camping style

{ Wednesday, July 18, 2007 }
This past weekend was the big Carr family reunion. Every year it is held at a campground where you have the option to camp all weekend or just come Sunday for the festivities. It was a good size turnout this year. 50 some campers and 136 total at the reunion. Not too bad. Jon and I of course camped and it wouldn't be an Erin adventure if something didn't go wrong. Well everything started out well but apparently the air mattress had a hole in it and we woke up Saturday morning on the ground. Needless to say we were a bit achey that day. Luckily one of his uncles had a spare mattress so we were set for the night.

All in all it was a great weekend. Eveyone took a nap read some magazines, and some crazy people got in the pool. But by far one of the best parts is going to the Hayloft, an ice cream parlor in Decatur Michigan for dessert. It is delicious!!!

Jon and I posing but our scrumptious dessert!!!

Kristin and Ellen also enjoying the ice cream.



Our flower girl Caitlin and her mom being adorably silly!!!

Babies and Curtis

{ Tuesday, July 10, 2007 }
What a crazy weekend. Saturday Kim and I decided to tackle Babies R'US. Wow it is crazy in there. I was completely overwhelmed, but we had a great time nonetheless and we got a lot of cool useful gifts. No pictures we want it to be a surprise for Heather. :O)
After a fabulous full day of shopping we headed to Curtis's going away party. I thought I would add a few pics of the pre party festivities. Thanks for the laughs Jon and Phil!

I think it's best if you use your imagination for this pic.


Nice face Phil


Once we got to the party we hang around and chatted. The boys played some game they made up and we watched some drunk people. Kim and I were the DD's. Pete came to the party which was awesome. We don't see him nearly enough and he is always hilarious!

The highlight of the party was Curtis getting tossed into the kitty pool. Trust me he enjoyed it! :)

Kim and I looking hot

Overall we had a fun and productive weekend. But I really need to get on some wedding plans. Good thing I have the whole event planned...in my head....Much love

Happy 4th of July!

{ Wednesday, July 4, 2007 }
Jon and I decided today would be a fab day to begin construction on the new downstairs bathroom. So we headed to Home Depot where I got to use my new Home Depot card!! I got to buy paint for the walls and they are beautiful COLORS!!! I am so excited.


It is definitely a work in progress. But once it is done it is going to look great. I hate the mess and cluter but I know in the end it is going to be worth it. I need to just get over it.


Our other project for the day included spicing up the upstairs bath. It got a new cabinet, towel hook and toliet paper holder. And next week I am going to give it a fresh coat of carmel colored paint to wrap up that project. It is going to look beautiful when it is all finished. I can hardly wait.

Looking good.....
