I believe that Suds has used his magical powers and giant paws to discover how to get out of his kennel. He has been found not once, but twice roaming the house freely after a few hours of being kenneled. The good news is that he hasn't entertained himself by chewing up sweaters or undergarments and he has remained "accident-free".
You know, I had no idea that when that lady handed me that 8-week-old puppy in the parking lot of the Oskaloosa Wal-Mart, he would turn out to be such a magical force...
Here he is using his power to tame one of man's greatest fears, the snake. Even Indiana Jones hates snakes but the Great Sudsdini doesn't even bat an eye.
The Floods of 'O8 have done quite the number on many Iowans' homes and businesses. While Josh and I have been lucky that our house hasn't had nearly any damage compared to others, we're sad to report that our basement did not go completely untouched by the heavy rainfall. We endured a large puddle in the lowest corner of the basement and as a result, our plan to remodel the basement has been expedited. We tore up the rest of the carpet and because of some lovely mold that began to grow on the walls by the stairs, Josh tore down that section this weekend. So this is what being a homeowner is all about, huh? Sweet.
No more mold, just a nice view of the structural integrity of our house.
The countdown is on! I just realized that Josh and I only have 14 weeks until our wedding. How did that happen?
My most exciting news is that Jennifer, Kelly and I were finally able to see the "Sex and the City" movie. After anxiously waiting for Jennifer to get back from Taiwan and Kelly to get back from Arkansas, we were finally able to reunite and travel to Jordan Creek's theater to take in the show. It was awesome! I loved every minute of it and cannot wait for it to come out on DVD so then I can complete my collection.
My coworker's son works at the theater so she gave me this poster (below). Before I had actually seen the movie, I wasn't sure if I really wanted to hang it anywhere but now that I've "seen the light", I can't wait to find me a frame and hang it proudly in our house. Josh isn't too thrilled with the idea and has banned the poster from "his" basement but don't you worry, I'll find a place for Carrie Bradshaw soon enough.
Dean and Dawn got married this weekend! Everything turned out beautifully and we were so happy for them. The ceremony was perfect, the reception was fun and they were such troopers, they even followed us out to the bars afterward.
For some reason I was a nervous wreck prior to the ceremony and I really thought that Josh was going to call off our own wedding since I was driving him crazy with my own craziness. My temporary loss of sanity at Dean and Dawn's nuptials made me question what kind of nutsy bride I'm going to turn into on the day of our wedding.
In the end, a few drinks in the limo turned out to be the cure. If this is a preview of what I'm going to be like for our big day, then I might suggest that my bridesmaids be armed and ready with a bottle of Strongbow for me. Or maybe I could just get a baby blue flask and fill it with some other form of liquid courage and strap it to my thigh? That way it could be my something blue too! Just a thought. ;)
Thanks to an exhibition of Greater Des Moines' public service vehicles this weekend, I figured out my 2008 Halloween costume. Where do you suppose I can wrangle some bomb squad attire?
Downtown Farmers Market opened up for the summer last weekend too. It was rainy but that couldn't keep Josh and I away from the BEST breakfast burritos ever. And if a certain cousin or any other visitor to the Des Moines Farmers Market needs clarification on which breakfast burrito I speak of, it is the burrito that is prepared by Farm Boys Hearty Food Co. To get your own little slice of bacon, eggs and potato goodness, you'll want to visit their tent located at 3rd and Walnut. Any other "breakfast burrito" at the Farmers Market is an impostor and the only reason you should stop at their tent is to ask for directions on how to get to the Farm Boys one. :)
We also picked up some flowers from one of the vendors at the Farmers Market. This is a pic of them about a week later and the lilies are looking a bit wilty. :(
