AC and Roomba ta-da!

I'm writing this post a bit out of order but I wanted to share these pictures! Jordan and I had been debating whether or not to get a Roomba vacuum cleaner for a while now.  On the one hand, we really don't need it because Abby doesn't shed and our floors are all tile and wood.  On the other hand, it is a pretty exciting gadget!  We compromised and found a used Roomba 750 model on CraigsList for a fair price.  And I've got to say, it's been pretty entertaining and I like it a lot! Abby is  not a big fan of the Roomba.  The first time we ran the Roomba, Abby pretty much ran out of the room like " Bye Felicia !" This happened over and over again so we started referring to the Roomba as Felicia!  Felicia does a pretty good job on the floors.  She is a bit louder than I anticipated and she's not the smartest vacuum cleaner on the market (sometimes she goes in circles or closes her self in the closet).  Despite that, I've actually really en

I've got a hodge-podge post for you today.  For those of you that are Harry Potter fans, you know that the new book was just released on July 31st (Harry's birthday)!  We bought the book that weekend but I wanted to wait to write this post until we finished the book.   Here are a few pictures of purchase of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child . We snapped these pictures at Barnes and Noble but I'm sure you can find the book cheaper on Amazon  ($17.98).  Yes, I'm aware that we are nerds wearing our HP t-shirts.   Barnes and Noble had a great set up and hosted all kinds of HP games and activities for midnight fans.  We saw all the swag but skipped the crowd by showing up the following morning.  Since the book is in script form, some locations pulled together amateur actors to do a midnight screen play sight-unseen! About the book (don't worry, there are no spoilers here)... I thought it was GREAT!  I found it really tough to read in script form a

A+C Wedding Day!

Whew!  Jordan and I have had a whirl-wind of a week!  Last week we flew to Virginia to see my brother, Andy, marry the love of his life!  I'm amazed with how much we packed into the trip and have really enjoyed going through the pictures!  I just can't express how happy I am that Andy has found his lovely bride!  You can feel the joy and love exude from them and it makes my heart swell! I couldn't even begin to share all the wonderful pictures from our trip but I did my best to consolidate the best ones into this post! Top Left: Jordan, K (my niece), and I in the back of the car heading to a burger night with family!  Every time I see K, I irrationally wonder if she'll remember me or even want to hang out with us.  She, of course, always remembers us and seems to grow like a weed! Top Right: Burger night puppy dog face! Bottom Left: This is my new sister, Christina, Andy, and I. Bottom Right: K with Dad - check out that nail polish!  Even after all
