yay!
grammy and ryan and michelle ALL blogged! congratulations ryan, on becoming VICE PRESIDENT! wow, and way before the age of 30, too--that is so fantastic!!!! and new pictures of hannah on michelle's page made me laugh! and in answer to ryan's question, my favorite dessert is fruit pizza (which i tend to only make for parties or on hilton head vacations!). i made this dessert for valentine's day that was actually a parfait of layers of chocolate cake, chocolate syrup, vanilla pudding, cool whip, and oreos and matt was really into it. in fact, we had a funny incident where he really wanted to eat it while he watched a show on TV, and somehow i was (unknowingly) inhibiting this from happening so it became a funny fight, where matt later apologized for "becoming obsessed with his dessert". HA!!! i don't think i know anyone more passionate about food than matt.

tonight we're having a few friends over for dinner, so i'm going to go prepare for that! thankfully, we've kept this place pretty darn clean for the past couple of weeks (i'd even say since christmas, we've been good), so there's not much work to do in that respect. i'm going to start a new project soon that may ruin the nice, decluttered space we've been living in! i've been wanting to do it since we moved out here but i just haven't been on the ball. i've been wanting to have a guest book in our guest room that each person signs/writes a message as they come to visit. since i've been late and we've had a ton of visitors, i'm just going to print out a picture of each visitor and write the dates of their visit. sounds simple, but once i get going, who knows what that could turn into???

welp, i'm off! enjoy your weekends, everyone!

in response to matt's comment about me watching "the littlest groom":
what can i say? i'm obsessed with little people.

it's monday and i'm not working!
hooray!
it's beautiful, so i'm going to take a hike pretty soon.
maybe by the time i get back, matt will be up.
this is the fun part of his unemployment: when he's home on my vacation days!

summer plans are filling up fast--
i'm doing a cincy/lexington/maybe columbus circuit from june 15-july 4.
then my parents are coming out aug 7-14ish, and ryan, michelle, and hannah will be out for a week sometime, and mare sometime as well! by the way mary--can you believe our campsite is booked for every day in august? i checked awhile ago (when we were emailing about it) and not one day in the whole month was open. ridiculous! it makes me feel like booking for next summer right now! so anyhoo, the summer is filling up! and happily! i love having people here anytime, but especially in the summer when i'm not working!

dad edwards, i loved the crab audio quote on your blog!
and mary, those pictures of bo are so cute! what a silly, sweet dog, with silly, sweet ears!
i can't wait to meet him in person!

i think i might go to our borders to see if their calendars are $1.00 as well, seeing as it is mid-february and we are still without one.
i was lazy all day yesterday, reading and lounging around... so today i want to get out and get moving!
so i'm off!
