The Hills 5-14-09

Hi! I know I just posted last night, but that was just pictures. I wanted to get them up asap in case we lost power because we got some pretty strong storms. Rob was at hockey and some of the thunder scared me - and I LOVE storms.

Not much is new around here. Just plugging along with work, daycare, projects, etc. Tomorrow after work we are leaving for Michigan. We are going to Holland on Friday night and staying with my GG Metzler. I think (hope!) that Uncle Ry and Aunt Manda are going to come over for breakfast on Saturday morning. Then we are leaving late morning for Spring Lake to go to the Brooks Family reunion - the whole Brooks clan! Rob and I are excited. Usually we only see his extended family at Christmas time. Should be a fun party! We are leaving after the party and driving home on Saturday though becuase Rob has playoff hockey games on Sunday morning. So it will be a really quick trip and a LOT of driving, but it will be fun!

We are anxious to get started on J's swingset, but we can't seem to get the stuff in town. I am so annoyed! The lumberyard got everything in besides the actual swing set kit. It got delivered to the wrong store a few hours away and it was supposed to be delivered yesterday to the right store. They called yesterday and said that it got delivered to a wrong store AGAIN. This time it's only about 1/2 hour away. He told me I'm welcome to go get it there. I don't think so! I am not driving for an hour to pick up something that is supposed to be with the other components! Ugh. So he is going to get it as soon as he can and call me. If it's not in by Monday I'm going to be mad!

I need to take pics of our new and improved toyroom soon. We got rid of the entertainment center and hung the TV on the wall - it looks SO much bigger in there! Maybe I'll take the pics when I have that bathroom done too....so you'll probably see it after the baby is born :) J/K.

Justin has been making me so sad lately. He keeps telling us that he wants to go to LV to see Gramma Airplane and Papa. Of course when he keeps asking and doesn't understand why we can't go see them whenever we want to it makes me cry. I was so lucky growing up to live in the same town as both sets of grandparents. He has so much fun with them and it sucks that we only see them a few times a year. :( Move closer.......

Oh and BTW - Katie is alive!!! I saw her on Monday night when her and Josh were such good friends :) They knew that we needed more drywall to finish the new bedroom and that we don't have a truck. They were in the Lowe's area and stopped and got it for us and dropped it off. We love you guys! We need a truck. Just not condusive to a family of four.

Okay - that's enough for now. Stay tuned on Monday for pictures from the weekend!
