7 Things...

So I’ve seen this on a bunch of different blogs and thought that it would be fun to do….especially since I’m sick of the reports I’m working on. This will provide a much needed break! :) Enjoy!
7 Things I Want To Do Before I Die
*Travel to various places in Europe*
*Have kids (definitely not today, but sometime :))*
*Visit all Major League Baseball stadiums (Seth and I are working on this one.)*
*Make a difference in someone else’s life*
*See the battleship my granddad served on in WWII*


*Learn to decorate really pretty cakes*
*Take Seth to New York (We didn’t get to go this summer like we planned…I don’t think Seth thought about the fact that by proposing he was giving up his chance to see the old Yankees Stadium for a wedding. I’ll definitely have to make that one up to him!)*

7 Things I Can Do

*Make a mean banana pudding, or so I’m told*

*Travel to new places*
*Get extremely excited about Christmas!*


*Be Indecisive*
*Ride rollercoasters*
*Take plenty of pictures (so I can remember things when I’m old and senile!)*
*Scrapbooking*

7 Things I Can Not Do
*Touch a fish…gives me the creeps just thinking about it*
*Sleep without a fan or humidifier on for noise*
*Play an instrument*
*Watch a scary movie without covering up my eyes the whole time*
*Be patient around bad drivers*
*Exercise regularly*
*Remember simple things (probably due to a lack of paying attention)*

7 Things That Attracted Me To My Hubby
*Christian, first and foremost*
*Georgeous blue eyes*
*Sense of Humor*
*Generous*
*Laid Back*
*Athletic*
*Will travel with me! (as long as a baseball stadium is visited along the way)*

7 Things I Say Most Often
*Are you kidding me?*
*Seriously.*
*You are retarded. (usually to Seth)*
*Good grief!*
*Whaaaat?!*
*Huh.*

It's A Boy!!!!

My aunt Brandi (the next to youngest of my mom's siblings) and her hubbie Mark welcomed their first baby into the world at 1:15 this morning!! Luke Barrett...okay, I am not too sure of the spelling of the name but if this is wrong I'll let you know. Anywho this is huge for our family since we haven't had a baby around in almost seventeen years! This is the only picture I have of him so far, and it came via cell phone so it's not great quality. But I can tell he is precious! Mommy, Daddy and Luke are all doing well! I'll post more pictures as soon as I get them!!

DC

Last week, I had a training class in DC....my first time to go there. So, my mom, who loves all that historical stuff, went with me and in the afternoons we were able to do some sightseeing. We saw quite a bit in the little bit of time that we had. Here are just a few pictures from the trip. Enjoy!


Supreme Court Building, the tiny dot there is me. :) The size of the buildings and the tiny details on each of them were amazing!

This would be my mom in front of the Capitol Building. We didn't have time to get a ticket and tour the inside.


The White House....when I zoomed in with my camera, we could see the security on the roof.

Mount Vernon, home of George Washington. It was beautiful!

Arlington National Cemetery


The Eternal Flame and burial place of JFK , along with his wife and kids.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Me and ole Honest Abe, he's quite ginormous!
