Yo

Hey gals.
I love this idea. I hope we can post and keep in touch easier. Sorry I sort of suck at it. I now have three blog... one of which I update regularly (but it's for school so I'm not sure I should count it). The other I started this summer- and by started, I mean I posted once- with the intention of writing more. Um, it hasn't really worked out. I always have these ideas of things I want to do but then I don't follow through with them. Wah. So, I've been thinking, I'd really LOVE it if we can plan a reunion soon in Indy. How about September or November? October is pretty full for me. I wouldn't be able to do the first (Labor Day weekend) or the 2nd to last (23rd-25th) weekend in September. Let's talk weekends & plan this thing! I miss you all a lot-lot.

Things have been pretty great here. I'm about one month into school & it's going well. Kids are fun and they always keep things interesting (and somewhat frustrating some days). But that's all right. They're middle schoolers, it's their job. I'm helping with Cross Country when I can & I've really enjoyed that.

Noah is doing well. He's balancing his time between Chicago's, Landscaping, and physically injuring himself. He cut his knee just the other day (11 stitches!) with some trimmers at work & a couple weeks ago he sprained/possibly fractured his wrist. But he's a tough cookie and he's doing just fine.

I think I mentioned this to you all, but we have been looking for a new church. We have gone to one in particular that I've really enjoyed it. If you guys come to visit maybe we'll go there. It's an awesome mix of tradition and contemporary. So, we shall see where we end up!

Ruby is doing great. She was sick for a little while (with worms- I will spare you the disgusting details), but is all better now. I also realized I was feeding her 3x the amount of food she needed... whoops. She's just chubby and cuter now! :) I guess the recommended amount on the feeding chart on the back of the dog food bag is the DAILY amount not the amount per meal. Hehee... I can't wait for you all to meet her! She loves EVERYone including anything that moves/breaths/glances at her. Also she rings a bell now when she needs to go outside. It's adorable.

In other news, I've been painting & I love it. I wish I had Alyssa around to help me be AWESOME. Maybe I'll post some pictures soon. On the topic of random information, I got a haircut today. Don't know if I'm crazy about it. It looked way cuter in the salon. I think it may grow on me. Neil and Liz are getting married in 6 weeks. We are super excited for that! Love that girl.

Anyway, I am headed to dinner with Noah's mom & Amanda. Love you girls! Post post post!
