So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, adieu...

Goodbye 26, you've been a great year! 

(seriously em, don't know what you were talking about 26 was pretty good..but for your benefit I have enclosed these comments to keep your 26 theory alive ...)

We finally said goodbye to apartment life. 

(by moving into my parent's house...okay not the one they are living in but still....)

We welcomed a new nephew.

(now people keep harassing us about having kids)

K-State basketball made the elite 8. 

(and then they lost...boo.)

Had a clean bill of health from the dentist.

(after 5 appointments where I spent enough to build them a new addition)

Andy and I both got new jobs.

(now I have to start doing housework again since we are both working)

Updated my tetanus shot. woot woot!

(cut my thumb on a rusty nail nail while scrubbing the house)

27, bring it on! you've got big shoes to fill!

fly me to the moon...

Our new combo canner and space machine...

we haven't tried it for space travel yet, but it worked excellent to can tomatoes

We also plan to hide valuables in it and bury it if we should ever be attacked by Russia...or Nebraska...

Hmm. Interesting

Today's conversation after lunch:

Me: You smell like pickles.

Andy: Pickles the cat?

Me: Who is that?

Andy: I don't know, pickles is just a common cat name.

Me: I've never heard of a cat named "Pickles"

Andy: (silence)

It's a good thing Andy ended the conversation with silence, because any other of response would have elicited a "hmm. interesting."

short bus kind of special

We were happy to play host to the 2010 Arnold family gathering in late July...

Andy and Ash (cousin) invented a new game...

in case you can't see...Andy has "loaded" the trash can lid with a piece of chex cereal...he pushed the trash can lid button, flinging the chex and Ashleigh attempts to catch it between two fly swatters.

You guys are so cool.

we all live in a yellow submarine...

A few weeks ago we finished the bedroom project....

bye bye blue and pink early 90s wall paper

see ya later turquoise carpet

hello lovely yellow walls...

J-Ro was suppose to be helping.  He's so lazy.

Let's party like its.....2007??

This is a picture of the last time Andy and I were both employed full time with benefits at the same time.... 

Yes, that is correct... IT WAS BEFORE WE WERE MARRIED.

Both of us are once again officially employed for the long term. Go us.
