brandon & i went to go see toy story 3 on sunday. awesome! i saw my aunt marsha and uncle tom there we were buying tickets & they were buying popcorn, so we just missed them... it was nice to see them happy together, after having babies who have babies and they still go to the movies, hope for the future i guess.
went to the amish on wednesday with a coworker rhonda, we are crazy. ssoooo much rain! but once we got to the first place Anne Yoder's Kountry Store, i knew i was going to have a fun day. no electricity in the stores, so it was pretty dark. lots and lots of great deals on spices, dip mixes, soup mixes, rice, jelly, dry ingredients for cookies, just really cheap, really fresh stuff. i love how all the buildings were really well made and super clean too. everyone told me "buy apple butter" so i did, but i don't really know what to do with it, lol. its like apple sauce, well it pretty much is, it would be weird for me to put it on toast? idk, lol. i'll look it up.
so then after that i hung out at rhonda's, she has been wanting to show me how to make cinnamon rolls from scratch for years now because she says brandon would just love them, so we did, proofed, kneaded, and they were awesome! the only bad thing is it is a pain to wait for it to rise... 4 different times. other than that, super easy. let's see if i ever get to making some again, the me now would probably buy a tray frozen from sam's. love sam's!
we are putting up christmas trees and ornaments at work, i'm kind of used to it by now...
in august we get free tickets to adventureland from brandon's work & i think he got an extra one for my brother, ben, to go to. so sometime we'll be going there, then we're going to the iowa state fair for a day on the 18th. all the food is so fresh at the fair, especially the meat. also i love the new building where all the animals are having babies, just had babies, or are just about to have babies. so you get to see them just a day old or less. really neat! stinky! but neat, lol.
until next time!

summer...
it has already been a pretty great season. brandon and i celebrated our 1st (!) anniversary, flapped around in a bunch of pools, gotten alot of sun, and it isn't over! this weekend i have off (yay) and we want to put a pool in the backyard but i really don't want the responsibility of cleaning it and putting chemicals in. so we'll go up to palo beach when we can, and there's always good ol byrnes, 3 bucks to get in, can't beat that.
most of my days are spent at work, dreaming of wonderous knitted and crocheted and quilted projects, of all that may never get done. i'm always thinking of a new project. i have quite the yarn stash too, it is good to buy on clearance less my discount, just today i found out a bunch of my yarns are going up a whole dollar. one was 7.39 a skein, yuck! it will soon cost a small fortune to handmake an afghan for someone special :(
buying work clothes online, there are a bunch of deals for the holiday. i wish i could digitally try them on or something... its such a hit or miss.
looking into joining a couple more book clubs, but i don't need all the bulk, maybe i should get a kindle and do the digital book thing? less clutter at least.
trying to get the house looking the way i want, one room at a time, wanting it to look good for november so hopefully we will be able to babysit. my sister will have to come over and give me the can they babysit? test. hopefully we pass. this is the first time brandon will be an uncle and he is so excited too!
waiting to take my vacation until february, looking into talking to a travel agent, we both really want to go to hawaii, hey if all those military guys work there and get flights there quick, why can't we? looking for a good deal on a package deal.
brandon is doing well at his job, iowa laser, they are expanding like crazy so there is much room for gettting higher up, so we'll see. i've been at hob lob for 4 years now.
it is also hard to believe that i've lived here with brandon for 3 1/2 years, that is the longest i've lived in a place for many years. it is so awesome not to have to move around all the time.
looking forward to wednesday, going to pick up a friend and we're going to the Amish, to buy a bunch of homemade goodies :)
until next time...
