The Weekend

It's been busy this week. Chris had been plowing for the first half of the week with pretty much no sleep/breaks in between each lot. I've been busy at work trying to wrap up stuff for the holidays - I love that we're closed for half of this week and half of next week.

Spent Christmas eve with my family. We had a Buffalo Wing Bar for dinner. Made the wings and had about half-a-dozen sauce choices, including some homemade ones that my dad made to try to imitate BW3's. It was pretty good. Very spicy stuff. We all had to drink down some milk and egg nog to cool our tastebuds.

Presents were fun. My mom and I bought a home brew kit for my dad and brothers to make some homemade beer. Should be good family fun. I wish I liked beer more. At the very least I could make them fun labels should they ever wish to label their bottles.

For both my folks and Chris' we put together a wedding album (finally) with our favorite pictures. We had never gotten around to it before, mostly because it was overwhelming to narrow 3,000 some pictures down to just around 100... You can look at (and order if you wish) the book here. You'll need this: Book ID: 852576 Password: 2400650

That's all I've got for now. We hope to head back home (we're up north right now) this afternoon. Hopefully the fog lifts some...

God bless!

Sold!

We are no longer the proud owners of the green Ford F150. Yay! That's money in the bank towards a motorcycle for Chris.

We still have a tv up for sale. No real hits on that yet. I wonder if you'd get better hits in the fall when college students are moving into their apartments? But that's a long time to chill out with it. If you know anyone looking for a tv, stand and HD antenna, let me know!

At my parents' house we have pretty much a whole room full of items for garage sale. So it'll be a big sale this spring. And I think we're going to try and Craigslist their gym set and get that out (it's just taking up space right now).

It feels so good to purge all of this stuff...

In other news, little brother is coming home Saturday, so I need to clear a space for him...

Toms Shoes

Advent Conspiracy

I stole this from a friend's blog. Way cool video. Looks like a good cause, too.

Boxes, boxes, everywhere.

I'm so tired of unpacking.

Thanksgiving Trip

Okay. Just a few things to catch up on.

So we where out East for Thanksgiving and for the weekend. So we spent some time sight-seeing the usuals (Chris hasn't been to any of these places and it's been years since I've been there either).

First stop, Hershey. Went on the free Chocolate World ride where they show you how they candy is made. You get free candy at the end of the ride.

Then we also hit up Gettysburg. There was a new visitor center with a new museum and the cyclorama. Cyclorama was awesome. Museum was all right, I just got bored after the first hour. I have a hard time staying interested in history that long. We spent at least 3 hours in the museum...

This is me at a restaurant (O'Rork's or something....) reading up on the local stuff.

Outside of the visitor center.

We also wandered around outside. It was cold. Here are pictures.



We also had some awesome wings at a restaurant in Harrisburg called Underdogs. Great price too.


And of course, the main reason we were there was Maren's wedding. Everything was beautiful. It was fun to hang out with everyone, even if it was very brief.
