Lazy day

Thank goodness we're off for Good Friday because after staying up and watching the exciting 3 OT Blues-Blackhawks playoff game last night, I'm not moving all that fast today.

D's car is at the dealership right now getting some routine maintenance done so we'll have to pick it up later this afternoon but besides that and possibly going shopping for some new summer clothes for each of us and a dress for me to wear to a wedding next month, we're keeping it pretty low key today.
It's nice to finally have a day like this and we're planning on enjoying it to the fullest!

Hockey foes

Most days we're friends, more than friends actually...he's my better half, the PB to my jelly, the cheese to my mac, but today, we're hockey foes.

You will find us at today's Blues-Red Wings game, sitting in the lower bowl of the Scottrade Center, him wearing a Probert Red Wings jersey, me in my no-named Blues jersey, rooting for our respective teams.  Yes, I still love him to pieces but I have to question his hockey allegiance.
I'm still trying to convince him that he can wear his new Blues #39 jersey t-shirt.  Afterall, another MSU grad will be sporting that number today.  :)

Let's Go Blues!!

A visit to the 'Lou

Gosh, where do I begin?  I'm not even sure where I left off on this blog and honestly, I'm not sure where the past month has gone but I can say we've had some fun.
A little more than a week ago, we had threats of tornadoes and were forced to the basement twice in one day (5 am and 8 pm).  The morning was a bit blurry because we were woken up to iPhone alerts; we made the most of it that night though when D's sister and brother-in-law came to visit us from Michigan and right after our quick hellos, we went to sit in D's car in our underground parking lot.  What a way to say "Welcome to your Missouri vacation!"

The weekend was a great way for me to rediscover the city I've lived in my entire life.  I forgot how much there is to do in St. Louis and we've already started planning Ash & Kalvin's next trip down to see us to visit all the places we couldn't fit in this time.  We ended up having a fabulous 5 days with them, most of it chronicled on Facebook, but I will include a photo dump for your viewing pleasure....
