hello people.
i just finished hanging the curtains in our living room.
matt was drilling holes in the wall and i touched the drill bit,
which burned me.
apparently, that thing gets hot.
my finger still hurts.

anyhoo...
i went running with another teacher friend today.
it was 81 degrees today and so beautiful!
the water looked so blue and the breeze was so fresh
am i dreaming?
is this really my life?
nothing is better than knowing i haven't worn actual shoes since last winter/spring.
it's been flip flops and sandals this whole time--WOOOHOOOOO!!!! ahh, the little things in life...
why does this make me happy? i'm simple, apparently.

looking forward to mary and casey's visit this weekend.
our friend sue organizes this game day called "bar-lympics",
where teams play games that are typically located in bars.
this year's agenda includes: foosball, darts, shuffleboard, pool, and something else i can't remember--maybe air hockey?
this girl goes all out and has her little clipboard and keeps close score and the winners get a $50 gift certificate for somewhere.
anyways, mare and i are on a team and we're going to kick everyone's patooties!!!! anyone have a creative name for our team?
we're going to make team tshirts and be festive--but we can't think of anything good...

rydogg, such great news that hannah is gaining weight--that just means chubbier cheeks for me to kiss!
mom edwards-it sounds like you had a wonderful weekend--you should feel honored-you deserve the praise and you are an inspiration!
time for dad and matt to update, otherwise you're going to get harrassed for having the annoying opening lines:)
well, i'm going to straighten up the house.
have a great wednesday everyone!

time to end the day with a fitting song lyric from ash...

yeah we've been walking barefoot all summer
why can't we just decide
to live like this all the time?

alright dad edwards!
running the 5k with me and mare on thanksgiving!
any other takers--boys, mom?
you get a long sleeved tshirt, which, by itself is motivation, i think.

matt and i have a homeowner's association meeting tonight, which i hope is not boring.
but i think it will be.
oh well, at least we'll be able to meet some of our neighbors.

i'm typing and matt is going through a box of miscellaneous items that we packed up when we moved but haven't gone through yet.
all sorts of fun things being found--it's like a toy box of fun!
razors, matt's usher pin from cornerstone, our old cell phone, which is huge and heavy, tiny little paints in plastic bottles, nurtz card game, and other random weird things--
currently matt is freaking me out by swinging a butterfly knife around.
i'm nervous but he assures me that he has control.


welp, we're supposed to be at our meeting right now so i'm cutting this deal short!
thank god monday is over. even though i love my job, mondays are still hard to get through sometimes, especially after a lazy weekend!
