What's Happening Here...

• I took an overnight trip to Chicago with my sisters this past weekend. Our mission was to find an apartment for them to move into this September. Talk about bittersweet! I'm so excited for them to move to this awesome city, but sad that we'll be living more than an hour (5 hours!!) apart for the first time in our lives. I knew this day would come at some point, as Lance and I are planning to move away too, but its bittersweet!
  
  
• When did our little puppy get so big? She's almost 40 pounds and going in for "the surgery" this Monday. Our house is getting smaller and smaller the bigger she gets. If we have a baby while living in this house, we'll officially be at maximum capacity!
  

• A new book that I ordered arrived today. Its called "Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer. Its all about the negative thinking patterns we get ourselves into and how to set ourselves free from them. I'm excited to read it!
  
  
• Lance & I saw Dispicable Me last Thursday.. it was so cute! We like going to see the kid movies sometimes. Dreamworks always makes their movies very entertaining for adults though. It was a great date night, complete with 3-D glasses and popcorn!
  
  
• I met up with two of my sorority sisters for dinner at Cheli's Chili Bar in Dearborn last night. We had a great time on the patio catching up and gushing over one of their new engagement rings :) Its so exciting when a good friend gets engaged. You can sort of relive your own engagement and wedding planning all over again!
  
  
• I started a sort-of "extension" of my blog, strictly for all things cooking and kitchen! Check out Oh, Sweet September... In the Kitchen for all sorts of recipes and kitchen fun!
  
  
• I'm truckin' along in my summer classes. Right now I'm taking a class called "Adolescence and Classroom Management" two nights per week. So far... its like high school health class all over again. And the professor is a little nutty. That makes it pretty entertaining though!
  
  
• Lance and I filled FOUR large garbage bags with clothes to donate to the hospital's Psych department yesterday. FOUR! (Yes, 90% of the contents were mine) Needless to say, I'm a little disgusted that I've been sitting on that amount of unworn clothing for so long. It felt great to purge all of it.. and to know they're going to a good place for people who need them!
  
  
• I'm excited for my husband to be off Friday-Sunday this weekend. We're hoping to get some things done around the house, go to our kickboxing class, take Tilly for a run at one of the state parks, see the movie Inception, and spend some time with friends :)
