I can't believe it's raining again! Tomorrow is May 1 so that means no more rain, right? I bet that's what all the farmer's are thinking. Anyway, it's been over a week since my last post so I thought I'd share what has been going on.
Obviously nothing too exciting otherwise I would have run to my computer and of course posted it! :) Anyway last weekend was an enjoyable and busy one. Friday I had the day off so I went where any other girl would go, shopping! Although I must say I didn't have very good luck. I stopped at my Mom and Dad's house after shopping and declared that I want to open up my own clothing factory. What is wrong with clothing designers??? So frustrating!!
Saturday I helped Mom get ready for out Fritz family gathering. It was an enjoyable evening although there was a little sadness in the air at the missing place at the table. I always make name tags and put them at every spot when we get together. I admit it was really hard to throw one away because it was no longer needed. Hopefully I won't need to do that for a long time, although next year we'll have a new spot and a new face at the table. :)
Sunday was Bob and Jenny's wedding. It was such a lovely wedding! If you weren't there you defiantly missed one of the most creative centerpieces I've ever seen. There were subtle touches of a chemistry theme. And how could I forget the cans of Dr. Pepper!! So neat!
Moving on...tomorrow Mike and I are leaving for Ohio and then Tennessee for the week. I'm pretty excited, hopefully we'll have good weather! Hopefully it won't rain as much. Here at the office they are saying there is a chance of another flood. As far as I'm concerned it can flood because I'll be gone anyway. :) I'll be sure to post pictures when I return.

Spring!
So it officially felt like spring to me last Friday when I finally got to mow my parent's lawn. If you know me, you know that I love to mow the lawn on my parent's riding mower. It's so peaceful and it always looks so nice when you are finished. Since my Dad was at work on Friday, he didn't have a chance to beat me to it. He says he doesn't have time to mow, but then he already has it done by the time I get there. I don't particularly like it when he does it because he just goes in circles to get done as soon as possible. I, on the other hand, like to make nice neat lines. Anyway it was most enjoyable (the sun tan doesn't hurt either).
Nothing else too exciting has happened recently around our house. I'm looking forward to next weekend when we can get together with the Fritz family. It will be nice to see everyone again, but hard at the same time because it's our first family gathering without my aunt. I'm also counting down the days until Mike and I go to Tennessee for a week the first week of May.
That's it for now.

Birthdays!!
We go to a lot of birthday parties for our nieces and nephews! With 16 of them; it seems like we are going to them all the time! These are from Wesley and Holly's birthday party a week ago.
Even though it was the shirt and hat that Wesley got, John wanted to wear it. He can even say "John Deere".
Wesley turned 5!
Holly turned 10!

Nothing New
I wish I had something exciting to report, but I regret to say it the past week was rather quiet and uneventful. Although that's fine I guess because I don't particularly like change anyway. Thursday night I finally got to see my friend, Britt, and meet her finance! It was good to spend time with friends that I don't get to see too often.
Friday I had the day off work, although I would have rather gone to work then to a visitation. I helped my mom clean their house for visiting relatives from Kansas that were also coming for the visitation. After cleaning I also went to the visitation for Mark Wiegand. Wow, talk about a big visitation! Dad thought more than 1000 came through the visitation and 500 at the funeral.
That evening we went out with another couple for dinner. They have 3 kids and every other weekend the kids stay overnight on Friday with one set of grandparents. And two weeks later, they rotate to the other set of grandparents. How neat is that?? Anyway, we often go out with them on the Fridays that they don't have the kids.
I worked at Garden Gate on Saturday because the owner is related to Mark and needed to go to the funeral. Saturday night we went to Mike's parents' for dinner and the evening. Sunday I had a headache so we didn't go to church. Sunday night we went to my mom and dad's for dinner.

Enjoyable Weekend
It's Wednesday already! Where did the week go? Last weekend was a really nice one! Sometimes Mike and I are really bored on the weekends, so last weekend we were glad we had something to do.
Friday I had the day off work, which is always wonderful. I cleaned and started working on my scrapbook. Friday night I went to dinner and shopping in Peoria with my sister, Michelle. It's always nice to catch up with her!
Saturday I was pretty busy trying to get the house clean and making food for that evening. We went to Trent and Heather Barth's for dinner and then to Metamora High School to see their musical. Mike and I really like going to musicals, and I couldn't miss it because they were doing "The Sound of Music". It's always been my favorite, especially since I was in it when I was in high school. They did a good job and we all enjoyed it (although I'm not quite sure if Trent did). After the musical, we went back to Trent and Heather's for dessert. We stayed way too late and were pretty tired the next morning!
On Sunday we went to Phil and Jessica's for a birthday party; I'll try to post some pictures of it later.

Monday, again!
It's Monday, again! How does it come so fast? Where does the weekend go! Nothing too exciting happened this weekend, as usual. Saturday I went to Michelle's for the day just to hang out and scrapbook. Of course we got more talking done than scrapbooking. That night Mike and I went out to eat with our friends, Keith and Angela. We went to TGI Friday's in E. Peoria, and then we drove to the riverfront by my office to check out the flooding. Then we watched a movie.
Sunday was pretty uneventful; we went to Mike's aunt and uncle's for dinner. Then we watched Fireproof. I can't say as I was too impressed, but oh well. This morning I had to get up at 5:15 to go to Michelle's to babysit and get her girls ready for school this morning. She works one day during the week and my mom usually stays there but she was sick this morning. I don't do well with no sleep and really early mornings, especially on a Monday! Hopefully I can keep myself awake today. The things we do for family!
