Ellie loves Johnny!

Well hello loved ones! Ok..I am seriously going to try to be better at blogging. I have decided that I will try my darndest to make it a Sunday night habit. So in the hopes of making this easy on me and not long and boring for you all…I will just tell you a little bit about John and my week…instead of trying to catch you up on our last month and a half. This week was nice and short because of Labor Day. So that is always nice. John and I did not really do all that much for the holiday we just rented some movies and cuddled up on our couch. It was actually wonderful. It was a rainy cozy day, and so we just enjoyed it for what it was…snuggly. We applied for our absentee ballots. So that is good, because I am embarrassed to say this, but I have never voted before…yikes…sorry America. I am excited, now I can take another step towards being a true adult. John and I have decided to go through each room of the house and throw away, sell, store, or donate anything that we are not using. After that we are going to take all the stuff that we are going to store as well as the miscellaneous childhood keepsakes that we have in the basement, and organize them into nice neat plastic boxes on a metal storage shelf that we are going to buy from Sams. So I am pretty excited about that. So far we have already gone through all the books in the house and organized them into read and want to give away, keep for our kids, need to read, and donate. John was very excited with this. Then today we had church, and kids church, which is always wonderful! And then we went over to Kendi and Cory’s house to watch football and BBQ. They had about 35 people there, so it was a lot of fun, and the weather was beautiful! We also had a little excitement for the day. During the BBQ I took a couple of girlfriends around the block to see my house, and while we were sitting on the couch I heard Oscar’s tattle-tale bark from the back yard. So I went to see what was the matter and sure enough Stanley had escaped. He had found his way out of the back yard to chase the infamous squirrel in our front yard that taunts them. Stanley was running around like a crazy dog, and then he ran up the tree to catch him. Fortunately no Stanleys or squirrels were hurt during this escapade. Well..that is about it for this week. I love my life!!

Is it ok to always feel like a little kid?
