We spent Saturday afternoon watching him crawl/walk around exploring the world around him. :) He is the cutest thing ever! Uncle Steve and I must have picked a good present (pictured above) because Courtney said it's his favorite present!! :)

Moving is....
EXHAUSTING!!!!!! I'm too tired to write about what we've been doing the last couple of weeks (mostly working on the house). So we'll just do it in pictures. :)
Uncle Jerry passed away last month. His funeral was in North Carolina, so Aunt Peggy had a celebration of life at Robbie's. He was the greatest guy, and definitley the smartest person I've ever met! I will miss you, Uncle Jerry!!
I'll try to do a post on the house soon! :)

'Cause Baby You're a Firework!!!!!
4th of July Weekend!!!!
Last weekend was spent mostly laying by the pool with a cold drink in hand. :)
Friday we went to dinner with Mom and Dad and then went to their house to play some cards.
On Saturday, Kaitlyn and Jon made it into town. We spent the day laying by the pool, frying ourselves (Well, at least Steve and I did. Everyone else seemed to be perfectly tan.)
After swimming we headed to BWW's for some great food and a few cold beverages. :)
On Sunday, I woke up ready to party! :) We lounged around outside, and finally got some use out of the floating beer pong table. RJ and Jess made it back into town, after celebrating RJ's birthday in STL.

| Yes, Dad lives the good life. :) |
We ended the night with glow sticks and fireworks....two of my favorite things. :)
On Sunday we went and saw Transformers 3 with Stephanie and Dustin.
It was amazing!!! Definitely worth the $10/ticket it cost to go. (I know! $10/ticket is ridiculous!!!)
After the movies we headed to Scoville Zoo to meet up with Steve, Travis, Courtney and Jaxon to watch the fireworks on the lake.
It was a great weekend! I definitely took advantage of all 3 days off!!! :)
Drunk as a College Kid...
June 24-26
Friday night we met up with Mom, Dad, Grandma Betzer, Melissa, and Erica at McGorry's Golf 'n Grill. After dinner, Mom decided we should go have some drinks...and I didn't disagree. :)
So, Steve, Mom, Dad, and I headed to the Wharf for some drinks.
We ended up staying so long...we ordered some Walleye, Catfish, and Cod...the Wharf has the best fish!!
After leaving the Wharf we decided we weren't done hanging out. So Mom and Dad headed over for some pretty intense games of Euker.
Obviously we were having a really good time! :) It was a great night spent with my favorite people!! <3
On Saturday, Chad and Brynn got married. So, we headed out to our 2nd wedding as a married couple!
It was a beautiful wedding and we had a great time! Afterwards we headed downtown to the weekend block party..but it was raining so we ended up spending the night inside Katz. We ran into Tonya and Zach, and RJ, Jess, and a bunch if his buddies. It was a good night and Steve had a great time since I was the DD. :)
On Sunday we headed to the Little Theater on the Square with Mom, Dad, RJ, and Jess to see Footloose!
It was a great show...even Steve liked it! :) We went to dinner at Jibby's afterwards. It was a great end to a pretty amazing weekend!! :)

Mango Salsa Monday
Steve is one of the pickiest eaters I know, but he loves Mango Salsa. He would never eat anything in it by itself, but everything all mixed together must do something for him. :)
The ingredients: Peppers, Red Onion, Mango, Dry Italian Seasoning, Black Beans, Corn, and Lime Juice
Be sure to rinse the Black Beans.
Isn't it so summery and pretty. :)
You just chop all the vegetables, mix the Dry Italian Dressing and a 1/3 cup of lime juice, pour over all the veggies, mix, and enjoy. I add a little cilantro on top just to make it pretty. :)
Dinner was a grilled chicken taco salad with refried beans and mango salsa on top. It was delicious!!! :)
Father's Day Weekend
Last weekend was spent celebrating how great Steve and I's dads are!!
Friday was spent just laying around the house...Steve got out of class early so we got to go on a run/walk together.
Saturday we headed to my mom and dad's to celebrate father's day with my dad. Side note: I really have the best Dad in the world! He is one of the most giving and unselfish people I know! :)
Mom and I planned a feast for everyone. We had chicken, steak, baked potatoes, Uncle Poke's pasta salad (which I did pretty good for it being my first time making it if I do say so myself! :) ), garlic bread, salad. It was amazing!!!! Kaitlyn and Jon were able to come into town too, so Dad had all his kids there!

| This is the only pic I got of the food...when Mom said all the food was ready I dug in!! :) |
After dinner, Steve and I had an appointment to meet Jodi to look at 3 houses. I had already been through them all and it was up to Steve to make a decision. I had told him which my favorite was in hopes it would sway his vote. :) He's the best husband in the world...so he picked the same house I did. We put in an offer...and 4 hours later were the proud owners of our new home!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
This is the picture from the realtor website...when we move in I'm sure I'll post tooons of pics! I just can't believe we finally found a house that is perfect for us!!!
On Sunday Steve, Trish, Courtney, Travis, and Jaxon came over for a Father's Day brunch. I made egg casseroles, hash browns, bacon, crescent rolls, waffles, and fruit. Once again I forgot to take pictures of this day...I really need to get better at getting my camera out!!
After breakfast we all laid around and watched True Grit.
Steve and I had went and saw it in theaters, but it was just as good the second time. I'm not a western girl, but I loved this movie!
After everyone left, we headed to visit my Uncle J in the hospital. He had quadruple by-pass on Friday and was still in the hospital. They said the surgery was a success! We're just praying that he gets to go home soon.
After the hospital we met Mom, Dad, and RJ at Buffalo Wild Wings for a late lunch/early dinner. Wings and fries are the perfect dinner for Sunday. :)
It was a great weekend! We spent time with both our families and bought our first house!!!!!! :)
Steve takes the CDL driving test on Wednesday. He has 2 jobs lined up, but neither are at places he would want to work. So on Wednesday he'll be driving all over Decatur looking for a job.
