Down on the Farm (Weekend at Julie's)

This past weekend I ventured to central Ny to visit the Hatfield's. Julie and Lizzi were coming to Jules' for the weekend and they brought Ryan and Brandon with them! Needless to say, we had a spectacular time! Friday night, we just chilled. We ate some great food and watched the movie Waiting. Saturday, we got up and around then went into Auburn. We stopped off at Wegmans, Bed, Bath, and Beyond, EB Games, R.J. Jewelers to see Amanda, then to the mall. Ryan was in heaven when we got there, because he got to spend an hour in the large fly fishing/tying section of Bass Pro. He's so cute... like a kid in a candy store around that stuff. We then walked through the mall a while then headed back to Julie's. On the way home, we picked up our pizza and wings from Nino's (mmmm, so good). After we ate it, we got ready and headed out to the barn to milk some cows. That is always interesting. After that, we got ready and went to Amanda's house to help celebrate her birthday then to the Fargo to play some pool. Julie and I beat Ryan and Brandon best out of 3, but they beat us best out of 5... oh well! We got back to Julie's pretty late and decided to watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith and fell asleep. Julie and Lizzi made us pancakes for breakfast Sunday morning (mmmm) then we got ready and headed our separate ways. I miss them all so much now, but it was a wonderful weekend, and I am so blessed to have such great friends and my love, Ryan.

Pittsburgh Steelers Superbowl XL Champions!!!

Last weekend I went home to watch the Superbowl, among other things. I got home later Friday night, and Ryan, Brandon, and I went into their church to play around. Then Saturday, I went to Brooke's basketball game (where she hurt her poor little knee... it is getting better though), then I went up to watch the Jr. High wrestling match and my man coach. They came away with two victories that day! After the matches, Ryan and I went out to eat. When we got back to the house, practically their whole team was there playing Halo 2. There were four TV's and four Xbox's... ridiculous! Sunday, Ryan went to church with me, and we ate dinner at my house. Then we went to Kenny Mortz's and ate seafood for like 2 hours. We had lobster, shrimp, 2 types of crab legs, clams, and also prime rib, turkey, and lots of other food. It was amazing! Then we watched the first half of the game. After that we went to Brian and Paula's for the second half. We also had some amazing food there!

I am so glad that the Steelers got the one for the thumb, and I am so happy for all of the players. It was a great season guys... Thanks! Now Sundays will be boring with nothing to watch on TV... until the fall that is.

Pre-Superbowl XL

Happy Groundhog Day! Apparently Phil says that there is going to be 6 more weeks of winter. But, if the weather we have been experiencing the past 6 weeks is winter, I will not mind six more weeks of it!

Now onto talk about the Superbowl... I would like to think that my team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, will come out on top this weekend. I do have confidence that they will be the victors; however, I do not like to count the other opponent out. Any given Sunday... anything can happen. However, if my Steel boys keep playing like they have been, the Seahawks have their work cut out for them. Unless you are a die hard Seattle fan, please root for the Steelers!
