So Kirk and I have been married for almost 3 months now, and we are starting to notice those little things we never knew about one another before. One major thing we have in common is not wanting to do anything past a certain time in the evening, what this results in is a lot of things left undone and one MAJOR mess! We started tearing down the wall paper in the kitchen on Saturday and haven't gone back to that yet and the evidence of our unfinished job is strewn EVERYWHERE. The storm on Sunday messed up our security lights and those have now made their way from the stove to the kitchen counter with shreds of wallpaper. Perhaps even funnier than that is the fact that I can't seem to adjust to being a grown up and not having my Mommy to cook for me, last night Kirk and I had queso and chips for dinner... yeah, wife of the year is NOT going to me... it's not helping the figure either! I am sure Kirk is trying very hard to figure out why I seem to leave water bottles and pop cans everywhere, the bathroom, the laundry area, the living room, the bedroom, etc... I will admit that they do show up in some pretty weird places, but eventually he will come to understand that I just forget where I set them and get a new one to leave somewhere else, Mom seemed to be especially fond of this habit when I lived at home! I on the other hand am trying hard to understand why he has to line the empty beer bottles on the side of the sink when the garbage can is 3 steps to the left... I am pretty sure this is remnants of some kind of college guy thing... As you can see we each have various habits that contribute to our messy home who knows who's worse, although last night he spilled some cheese on the table (note the full role of paper towels on the same table) and didn't wipe it up, I took a picture at lunch today to prove that it's still there! I vote he has to clean it up since he spilled it, but you can vote for yourself. I have attached some pictures of our various messes because apparently Mom says this is hilarious! She loves hearing about my struggles to grow up and thought I should share them with everyone... I know this will get easier, but I gotta tell ya I think there should be some sort of class for this wife thing! YIKES!

This labor day was awesome! The weather was perfect and we managed to climb rocks and hike without breaking anything! What more could you ask for? We went to this amazing park in Olmsted Falls that Mom found; it has real water falls and it's just gorgeous there, the boys pushed Lexie & I to our limits with rock climbing, Lexie just LOVES it, me? I'm a little wobbly sometimes! The whole family had a great day complete with a cook out at the end. The only thing that could have gone better was Lexie's swimming lessons, how is it that I have a dog that hates water!?
