Matt took me on a date the other night. We had a really nice time reliving our first date (without the dinner). He took me to the conservatory at the Bellagio and then we watched the fountains. It was so nice to get out and have a nice time together with out having to spend any money. I am so thankful that I have such an awesome husband who loves me enough to pick up on my hints that i want to get out of the house :)

This snail totally reminded me of the snails from Neverending Story! And look at this frog!! It was so beautiful!! I am so surprised sometimes at how creative some people are!!

In other news the entire family showed up to celebrate Fathers Day at my patents house. It was really nice to see everyone and to catch up and see how everyone is doing. Angie and Chris came up from Phoenix and we celebrated some June birthdays along with Fathers day. My camera died while I was walking around taking pics so there are only a couple...

A quick shout out goes to Megen!! She made the most delicious ribs EVER!! YUM YUM YUM!!

this is as close to a group shot as i could get... love the face Damon...
the chef extraordinaire!!


Hope you all had a great Fathers Day!!

Meet Honey.


She is the newest member of the family and despite being woken up at 0400 every morning we love her dearly.
She and Torro seem to be getting along very well and we are very pleased. :)



In other news,

Matt will be starting school this next semester. We are both VERY excited for this new development.

(that is it for other news... apparently we need lives)

Other then that we are the same old same old Pedersens. Just hanging out and having a good time.

Lucky Charms

So... a while back I went to the doctor for a full work up and he told me that I have highish cholesterol.

Learning this I did what anyone else would do and I decided to change parts of my diet to bring that sucker down. I changed my morning cereal, took eggs completely out of my diet and have started reading labels to stay away from saturated fats.

And I have come to this conclusion...

I miss Lucky Charms... sweet delicious Lucky Charms. Marshmellowy goodness in a box. How I miss you.



Thank you and Goodnight

I did not get to participate on Easter but heard that everyone had a blast :) Hopefully I will be able to attend more family functions as I am changing over to day shift (again) starting May 3rd!!! So if you guys wanna hang out after 3pm I am 100% up for it!!!

Newest addition

Here it is ladies and gentlemen!! My new table. And on Friday... new carpet throughout the house. You know what that means :) Party at my house!!! Yay!!!

Isn't it so pretty?? We have chairs for six but it comfortably fits 8!! I just love it!!

FINALLY!!!

Well boys and girls... the day has finally come... we now have heat!! (Which means you will all be invited over to see the new house soon)

Thanks in large part to daddy (and his demand letter) Matt and I were blessed with a new A/C unit and for the first time since we moved in-we have heat.There it is!!! Just sitting on the truck waiting to be installed!!! All 4 tons of it :)

This is our old busted up unit being lifted by the crane.


And this... this is how warm it was in my house when I left for work yesterday!!! 70!! I was so excited!!

It was a very nice and warm night in the Pedersen Household last night And for that I am very very thankful.

We finally figured out how to make it a little warmer in the living room... yes that is plastic encompassing our entire sliding glass door... except for the all important doggie door :)

It may look silly but it is super warm!!!

AND
The joys of puppy-dom

This


Plus this




Equals this

We seriously have NO idea where it went.

HVAC

So... it has finally come to this... after much shivering it has been decided that our HVAC unit must be condemned. I only wish that we did not have to wait 3 freaking weeks of living without heat to find this out.

It looks like our new unit is gonna cost around 5 grand :*(

Its a good thing that Matt and I are not newly weds and that we planted that money tree in the back yard.


Well enough whining for now. At least I have a fantastic home to live in and a husband and new puppy that love me very very very much!!

<---- New puppy. Everyone meet Torro :)

Keys

So... we signed for our house yesterday (dec 31st) :) Which means if all goes well we will get our keys tomorrow!! I am so excited!! Finally a house of my own (well matts too :P) And if we get the keys tomorrow then we have 8 days to move!! That is the really awesome part! I am so excited!!!
