I am back!

I AM BACK!!!
( ^I want that to be in a sing-song voice^)

After a month long hiatus due to some technical difficulties, I am back and boy do I have a lot to talk about! I Felt lost without my little blog (see pic below) Who knew I would miss it soooo much?!
There has been a lot going on this past month, where do I even begin?


Work has been crazy but I am really enjoying my new set of kiddos...they are hysterical. The other day they were teaching me the "swag" walk. Anyone out there know what the "swag" walk is?...I DO and I can do it too! (This country girl still has that Greece ghetto flair...be jealous all you want) You know your job is good when you laugh a lot during the day!

The weather has finally broke just a little bit so I am back outside pounding the pavement with Stu, getting our work-out on. AND IT FEELS SO GOOD. I cannot wait to take my new bike out on her maiden voyage...I think that celebration will call for a little vino and a helmet. ;)

I have finally gotten over my cold/flu....ugghh it seemed to have lasted forever.

Baby brother Jeff turned 18!!!! Now that just doesn't feel even remotely possible. Happy Belated Birthday Squirt. You are the most remarkable young man that I have ever known. seriously- unreal!

Kimmie and I took a quick trip to Oneonta to visit. Regrettably, no pictures...I know a big BOOOOO right there. What was I thinking? We stayed with Rach and Claire and had a really good visit with them and Chris, Amee, and Tony. Thanks so much for hosting us guys! I honestly think that the best part of the trip was just hanging out with my sister. She provides me with some serious car anxiety (ask Rach) but at the same time the best sister to sister company a gal could ask for. Love you Kimmie...same time next year?

We went to see the musical "Once Upon a Mattress", Jeff played King Sextimous the slient. He did areally great job, best play yet dude!

We shared a Mexican meal with Grandma and Grandpa Whipple recently too! I learned what sucking down four margaritas can do to you. It can almost be compared to a sledge hammer to your brain....I don't suggest that one!

We (mainly Justin- love you hunnie) started making some demo progress on the basement and the master bedroom this month too! I will post separately with some before and after. I am dreaming of that room finished.


Chris and Amanda celebrated their engagement party with a great cocktail party. I actually had my camera, below are a few shots of the action...This is Dough, myself and Joe
This is an example of what happens when Justin and I get together for the pic. The first three always look a little like this below...
He thinks hes soooo funny
and then he eventually puts on his handsome face.....

and we finally get the picture right! (with a lil touch up of course)
