Entry 56: Man Room Addition

Like most men, Lance now has a man room which is technically the basement. Most people know that there are a few things in life that Lance loves: Julie, the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Kansas City Royals, and the St. Louis Rams. He likes to decorate his man room with lots of sports memorabilia. Well every year a school in his district has an online auction for many things, and the one thing he always bids on is the authentic autographed Marc Bulger jersey. Marc Bulger is the Rams starting quarterback and one of Lance's favorite players, but every year the jersey goes for about $150 which is too rich for his blood. Well this year Lance put down the minimum bid of $50 and actually won the jersey. Lance is thrilled and will display this proudly down in his man room.

Entry 55: The Invitations

We have been real busy lately putting invitations together, and we are both thrilled to say that they are finally done. We sent all of them out on Thursday and many people have already received them. We disagreed about who was going to do what, but we settled it the only fair way and that was through a round of Wii bowling. We played best 2 out of 3, and Julie ended up winning 2-1 after winning the last game by 3 pins. It was hard fought and Lance was given the crummy job of stuffing every envelope while Julie was able to put the labels on. The sending of the invitations means that the big day is right around the corner and we both can't wait until the big day is here.

Entry 54: Hotel Alerts

Yesterday we were taking care of some hotel reservations for Lance's grandmother and came to find out that rooms are being booked up quickly. The Comfort Suites now have no two queen bed rooms left, but they do have some king beds still available. The Holiday Inn Express still has both kind of rooms available, but they are also filling up quickly. I guess what we are trying to say is that if you have not booked your hotel room yet, you may want to do it quickly.

Entry 53: Doggy Obedience School, Week One

About a month ago we decided to enroll our dog, Maggie, in doggie obedience classes. We decided to do this because the dog is a little rambunctious and has a real poor attitude. Today was the first day of class and it was quite an ordeal. As soon as we got to the class Maggie decided to show them all who was boss by growling and barking at the other dogs. Needless to say no one wanted to sit next to us after that. After about 30 minutes Maggie finally calmed down and we were able to work on her behavioral issues. Our homework for next week is pretty easy which is to give the dog a doggie massage (this is Julie's job), get her used to the clicker, and teach her to pay attention using the clicker. This should be interesting and just think there are 7 more classes left.

Entry 52: Bridal Shower Pictures

It has taken us awhile to go through all of the bridal shower pictures and it would take us forever to post all of the pictures. So what we did is made them a slide show and put them on the Internet. That way everyone can see the pictures that we took and even print them off at Target if they want. We do want to thank everyone for organizing this event and also to everyone who attended and made this day so special. Click on the link below to enjoy the pictures.

Last Sunday we had our first wedding shower and it took place in Washington, Missouri. We had a great time and were blown away by every ones generosity. We were truly moved by how much effort everyone put in to make this day so special. Below you will see some of the decorations from the event and keep checking back because there will be many more pictures from the shower.

Entry 50: Adventures In Babysitting, Part 2

Tonight we went and babysat for one of our friends and had a great time. The little girl absolutely adores Julie, as you can see by the pictures below. We put together a puzzle, had some dinner, and watched a movie. All in all it was a good time. We both agree that those two children are absolutely adorable.
