Nice Weekend

Our weekend started out great! Friday night Steve and Veronika came over and I got her dressed in her Swan Lake Barbie costume. We went to Boo At The Zoo which is basically a Trick or Treating Path at the Zoo. They have some rides set up and you can take a train ride. They had a costume contest and this one little girl was a jellyfish. It was absolutely the most adorable costume I have ever seen. She had on a pink sweatsuit and was carrying an umbrella covered in pink fabric with pink streamers hanging down. After we left there we went to McDonald's for dinner and Veronika got to play while Steve and I watched the FINAL game of the World Series. Saturday morning Steve and Veronika came over and we headed to the school for the Fall Festival. We only stayed an hour, but I thought I needed to make a small appearance, after that I headed off to my lingerie shower and Steve and Veronika went Garage Saleing (spelling) and then crashed at Mom and Dad's for the afternoon.
That afternoon we went shopping because I was in DIER need of new clothes. Well, I had a breakdown after going to Lane Bryant, Kohl's, Old Navy, Wal-Mart, and Target and only had a couple of shirts. On the way home we stopped at Cato's and I stocked up. I was SO happy and I think Steve was a little scared that I could change my mood that quickly.
Steve and Veronika came in to use the bathroom before heading home and Veronika threw-up all the way down the hallway. So, I took care of Veronika and Steve cleaned up the mess. Well, that made Steve throw-up. They both ended up staying on my couch Saturday night so I could take care of Veronika and Steve could rest between vomiting bouts. Sunday morning we were contemplating church and Veronika started again. Steve felt better by Sunday afternoon so we were able to get a start on painting Veronika's room and started organizing the kitchen. With the time change it felt like the longest day ever! By the time they left Sunday night Veronika had been asleep since 5 and Steve said she slept all through the night.
So, it was a long and fun/interesting weekend. I am looking forward to a break next weekend!

No Pictures Yet

Ok, so, obviously I have no new pictures uploaded which is very frustrating because I really think the pictures add alot to the blog. However, you can find recent pictures of my family on Amber's, Paula's, Amanda's, and my mom's blog! So, last weekend we went to the fair Friday night and had a great time. We ran into Amanda and some of her friends from church and hung around with them for a little. Veronika rode her first RollerCoaster and we went to the petting zoo. I took her in a fun house which was good until the last. For some reason she DID NOT want to go down the slide which was the only exit. We had a line of people behind us, so I had to force her down it...it reminded me of that scene from "The Christmas Story" where they force the kid down the slide.
Saturday morning Steve and I traveled to Fayetteville to watch the Razorbacks. It was actually quite enjoyable. During the boring parts I entertained myself by watching the Lesbians in front of us. They were dressed the same head to toe and were very affectionate. I was really quite mesmerized by their openess.
I am enjoying my new camera, but I haven't had time to bring it up to school to blog pictures. I have been leaving everyday at 3:15pm to go do wedding stuff and it appears that it will stay that way! ONLY 3 WEEKS FROM TODAY!!!

Busy Week

Well, it has been a busy and VERY fun week! Saturday Amber, Amanda, Paula, and Aunt Kay hosted a luau shower for us in Mom and Dad's Pole Barn. We got SO many wonderful gifts and we had a blast. Monday was the church shower and I was overwhelmed by how nice people are. I was really worried no one would show up, especially since it was a rainy night, but we had a very nice turnout. Tuesday we did a little bit of wedding shopping. Wednesday was the normal church stuff. Then Thursday, Amanda and Paula hosted a Pampered Chef shower for us at Amanda's house. We got everything that we registered for from there, I think. I can't wait for it all to come in.
Today we had our 1st grade field trip to the Pumpkin Patch and now I am EXHAUSTED! I had 12 parents there with me, but I almost think that made it harder because everyone was splitting up. I am going home to take a nap. Tonight Steve, Veronika, and I are going to the State Fair. I haven't been in a couple of years and I have never been with a child Veronika's age, so I am very excited. Mom and Dad got us a new camera for a wedding present, so I will have some pictures to upload on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend! We are leaving bright and early tomorrow morning to go to Fayetteville for the Razorback game!

Long Time No See...

Taking A Tripp
Ok, It has been two weeks since my last blog. I really don't know what has been going on. School has been busy. I had parent teacher conferences which I dread because I have to be at school until 8pm, but I got the next day off so that made it OK. That day Mom, Amanda, and I went to Bridal shop to do Amanda's and my dress fittings and some Tux business. Then, we went to eat lunch and went and bought Tucker and Garrett(Steve's youngest nephew) their wedding tuxes. Saturday Paula called and told us about a garage sale with alot of 4T's so we ran over there and to a few more yard sales and then went back to my house to watch the Razorback game and work on wedding stuff. Saturday night we went out in search of a special deal at Target. If you bought "The Little Mermaid" DVD and Barbie set, you got a free wedding gown. Well, every Target in central Arkansas was sold out so we ended up getting a DVD/CD combo and the Barbie dolls. It is amazing what you will do for your children. When we got home I wanted to watch it immediately to show Steve the nasty part, well, evidently they took it out so he thinks I am crazy, but I KNOW there was a nasty part. After that we went to El Porton and then went back to my house and watched a movie.
Sunday morning Steve came over early, (I am not sure what time) I didn't even hear him come in. Well, he fell asleep so at 11:15 he finally woke me up. Mom called so we went to their house for dinner. I had plans to clean house Sunday afternoon but suprise suprise, we sat down to watch a movie and I woke up at 6:30, so I was up late cleaning house.
Monday the kids were out of school so we had some meetings and then I cleaned house some more. My house FINALLY looks decent! It is so exciting!
Last night we picked up Veronika and then went to eat a McDonald's. She loves it and I do too (secretly)
Then, we went to pick out her paint colors for her bedroom. She wanted pink and green with yellow trim. We are going for a princess theme here, I just hope it looks OK. Anyway, that is about it. The wedding is planned. Just waiting for that week! Only 5 weeks and 2 days until I am Mrs. Steve Tripp!!
