Weekend Update

Oh weekend, how short thou art.

I'll start my weekend update with a picture from Thursday night. Yes, I worked Friday, but whatever. This image from the Nats/Cubs game at Wrigley Field is worthy of the blog.

How crazy was that fog?!? It was really cool, except when the Nats couldn't see through it and made some errors. Grr.

Friday was Friday at work. Womp womp. 

But then I went back to Wrigleyville for a drink with Andrew (he went to the Nats/Cubs day game) followed by Wine Club and dancing with the Kinect game. 

So. Much. Fun.

Saturday was Andrew's Birthday!

To celebrate we went to both Nats/Cubs games.

Yep, I went to 3 of the 4 games in the series and Andrew went to all four! We love our Nats!

Day game view:

Night game view from the roof deck! 

The roof deck seats were birthday gifts from Andrew's parents for both of our birthdays! It was amazing: all you can eat and drink!!! It was especially fun during the rain delay. We made friends while hiding from the rain. So fun!

Yesterday wasn't as fun, unfortunately.

These silly weather changes have wreaked havoc on my migraines and I literally could barely move until 7 pm. Ugh. All of you may love the coming of summer but I personally hate it! So much pain!

I finally felt better around 7, just enough time to bake Andrew some Birthday cookies, test out our brand spanking new KitchenAid Mixer (wedding gift!) and make a total mess!

Dirty hair, don't care.

A little flour never hurt anyone, though!

How was your weekend?

Linking up with these fine ladies today:

Happy Friday!

Hey everyone! 

No Friday's Fancies post for me today. I'm too preoccupied with the upcoming game tonight! 

Go Nats!!!!! 

(I'm also very excited that the Tigers advanced and was not so excited that the Steelers lost again last night. Oh well.)

I would give anything to be in DC today. 

1 | 2 | 3 | 4

Have a great weekend!

New Addition!

Happy weekend!

I grew up with a cat, and ever since college I have wanted one of my own. Luckily, Andrew loves animals and had a cat (and dogs!) growing up. He agreed that a cat would be fun to have. Of course both of us love dogs, too, but we don't have the time or money for a dog, so we decided a cat was the best way to go for us. We went to PAWS, an incredible no-kill shelter, and picked out our cuddly new pal. We went in thinking we would get a kitten, but fell in love with this sweetheart instead!

Our friends advised us to let the cat pick us, not the other way around. Well, none of the kittens were interested in us so we went into a room with older cats. One cat walked right up to Andrew, sat in his lap, and wouldn't let him go. He then came over to me and did the same. Even though many sweet cats caught our eyes, it was a pretty easy decision.

We named our new buddy Teddy, after our favorite of the racing president mascots for the Washington Nationals. We went to a game a week when we lived in DC, so even though we are lifelong fans of the Pirates (me) and the Tigers (Andrew), the Nats will always have a special place in our hearts.

So far Teddy has explored our place, hid under the bed, and slept in our laps while we watch football (it was wonderful to watch the Packers lose, btw). He's so sweet and cuddly. We just love him!
