We killed a tree among other things

Last week Eric told me that he got his cell phone bill and I bet you cannot guess how many pages it was!  It was 51 pages long! Well now you might be as confused as I was from this news.  So I asked him..."why the heck was it so long?!" He preceded to tell me that his phone company prints off all of the text messages that are sent or received and because we text so frequently the bill was 51 pages. I was then relieved to find out that it was an electronic bill and he did not receive a hard copy of the bill which would have killed a tree for sure.  How crazy is it to print off all of the texts a person sends and receives!? I just hope that people around the country who have his phone service are not wasting this paper and have electronic bills as well. What a waste of paper every month!

So me and Eric have been up to many other things since my last post about us.  Eric's mom graduated from WCTC and she invited me to her graduation and her party afterwards.  It was a really nice ceremony and day.  I was able to meet some of Eric's family which was really nice and I felt like I really fit in well with them. I was included in some of the family pictures which was really sweet and it made me feel like a part of the family.  I don't have these pictures yet because Eric never sent them to me ( hint hint Eric...you should send me those pictures!)  We played catch phrase for a little while and also had a small fire.  It was a nice day and I really enjoyed it.  Here are a few pictures from that day. 

Eric thinks that this face is better than smiling. 
I will say he looks pretty cute in this picture
but I like when he smiles. :)

Eric really likes cake...look at his face!  I think he is about to devour the whole cake in one bite!

Eric had to drive me home, a little early because I was exhausted! We seem to be making a habit of that because he had to do the same thing after the brewer game we went to.

Eric picked some great seats hey!? Let me just inform you that this was the first brewers game I watched at miller park.  I remember going and watching a game when I was 8 and my mom tells me that I hated it.  But I really enjoyed this game on this day and Eric has gotten me like baseball.  He has taught me a lot, but I did know a little bit when I cam in to following this sport.  For example, I know that there are three strikes and your out, three outs and it is the next teams turn to bat, and three balls and you walk to first.  I think that is all right.  The night we went to the game it was dollar hotdog night! The hotdogs were very good! Eric and his friend Colin made a pact that they would eat a hotdog for each strikeout that the opposing team got.  Well, they were getting a lot of strikeouts so they switched it to the the number of strikeouts the brewers got.  I think Eric ate 5 or 6 hotdogs and Colin ate 4.5.  This game, the brewers had around 12 strikeouts.  Needless to say, they didn't really hold their pact and failed a little bit.  It sure was funny to watch and listen to them try to do it though.  

Me and Eric, taken by Colin.  The picture is a little blurry cause Colin doesn't have steady hands.  Also the shirt I am wearing is the first brewers shirt that I have ever owned!

Me and Eric have been having a lot of fun together.  We have been working through how to balance both of our work schedules and other commitments and spending time together.  We are doing a pretty good job so far.  We will be hanging out the next three days so I cannot wait to share some more of our adventures! 

Oh and if you are keeping tabs, the first things we crossed off of our list was the brewers game, and we plan on going to many many more.

This link is for Eric.  He will understand the significance.  I apologize for the inside joke, but it is a funny clip nonetheless.

The Big Bang theory is priceless!

Okay that is all for now.
