So Ryan's been cooking a lot lately because he loves to and I don't, but yesterday I had a strong urge to cook something for us, so I e-mailed him while we were at work to see what he wanted for dinner. This was essentially the response i got, "How about pasta primavera, so we can use up some of our vegetables. But why don't I help you with the ( Read more... )

I went to Ryan's grandma's house yesterday and she loaded me up with lettuce, zucchini, flat pan squash, tomatoes and peaches all fresh from her garden. I must visit her more often, despite her slight craziness, lol. So, Ryan and I will be eating well this week. I think tonight we're grilling brats and squash. I'm definately enjoying the married ( Read more... )

Mariana's sister Natalia had her twins Tuesday night. Mariana was really disappointed she wasn't there, but she's just happy they're doing well (considering Natalia was only 6 months pregnant). One weighs 2 1/2 pounds and the other 3, so they're going to be in the hosptial a long time, but according to the doctor they're doing fine. Yesterday ( Read more... )

Thursday Ryan and I realized that our phone was not working, so I called Wow and they said they'd have to send a technician anywhere between 8am and 8pm on Friday. I wasn't thrilled with this, but since there wasn't anything I absolutely needed to go out for Friday, I said fine. Well, Friday I got busy cleaning/organizing the house, so I didn't ( Read more... )

The red and white Boston I posted a while back has already been adopted (after we submitted the paperwork), so now Ryan and I are looking at http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=6678858 and Read more... )

Ryan and I decided to throw Mariana a suprise good-bye bbq this Saturday. If you're available please come between 7:30 and 8 or after 8:30 because Chrissy's going to bring Mariana back to the house around 8:30. We also thought it would be a great opportunity to get our friends together at our house (now that it really feels like ours). Mariana ( Read more... )

Chrissy got the job at the Macomb County Morgue. It's her dream job, doing autopsies all day (weird i know, but that's her). I'm so happy for her ( Read more... )

Cutbacks have been coming from the powers that be at work, so they had to revoke their offer to Chrissy, which really sucks. She's had the worst luck with jobs. She's still waiting to hear about a job for the Macomb County Morgue, but in the meantime she's taken a job at a jewelry store. They also had to lay-off 2 full-time workers, including one ( Read more... )

Ryan and I got home late Sunday night. Everything went smoothly except for the end when our flight from Charlotte to Detroit got delayed 90min (so we got in around 1am), and they lost Ryan's suitcase. But despite the ending we had an awesome honeymoon. Poor Ryan had to leave yesterday morning for Ohio after 2 hours of sleep. So, it still hasn't ( Read more... )

The wedding was fantastic. I couldn't have hoped for a more perfect day. Thanks to all my friends to making it even more special. Ryan and I are so happy it's ridiculous. I'll update more later, but I just wanted to let you all know we made it to the DR safely and everything is going well. The resort is nice, and full of people. Now we're going to ( Read more... )
