Well It has been awhile...

I am sorry everyone for the delay in posting.  It has been a crazy month...I don't even know where to begin to explain.

First off I would like to say how happy I am that I had Eric in my life this past month. If he was not a part of it, I am really not sure what I would have done.  He makes me so happy and helped me take my mind off of all of the stress and chaos.  Thanks Babe!

So there have been many things that me and Eric have been doing this past month.

June 6-8th

One of Eric's friends who he served in Afghanistan with was getting married and Eric was invited.  We spent the whole weekend together.  We drove up to Fox Hills Resort in WI for the wedding.  On our way up we stopped at a brewery restaurant which had pretty good food.  Eric always eats nachos, and this meal was no difference.  The nachos were huge!
Eric presenting his nachos! Isnt he cute!
(oh and that is root beer btw, not beer...Eric was driving)
So when we finally made it to the resort, we got our own condo and had a fabulous weekend.  It was so nice to have the time alone together which we haven;t gotten since I graduated college.  Friday night we walked around the resort and seen what they had to offer.  We played miniature golf, and I kicked Eric's butt!  He was really bad at the at the ant mound hole, with the hole at the top of the mound.  I think he was winning before this hole, but my mad putting skills won in the end! Saturday we got up and went to a small coffee shop in the small little Hick Town we were in (Eric knew I needed my coffee).  They had ALOMOND flavoring for their latte's, this is mine and Eric's favorite!  We were really excited and we also had belgian waffles for breakfast which were pretty good as well.  It was a pretty epic moment to find Almond flavored coffee, so I had to document it.  FYI: Starbucks does NOT carry almond.

We realized the night before that Eric had forgotten black socks.  Now we all know you cannot wear white socks with a black suit so we set out looking for a place that sold black socks.  Let me remind you...We are in a very small town with no grocery store of Walmart or any of your normal convenience stores.  So with no luck Friday night, we had to leave time to go get black socks in the town, about 10 minutes away from the resort where the wedding took place.  Luckily, we found a nice little old store that had black socks...which were $10 for one pair! I know crazy!  But I dont think Eric will Ever forget black socks again.

Us Ready for the Wedding
So we headed to Rauch's wedding.  It was so nice to meet some of the guys Eric served with. They were slighty loud and a little obnoxious at the beginning of the weeding, but it was quite funny and entertaining.  We all had a really great time and the wedding and reception was beautiful.  Me and Eric danced and had a few drinks.  We talked a lot with his friends and it was nice to hear some of the stories they had.  I really got along with all of the guys. I danced with Rauch and he was really nice.  He told me that Eric was a great guy and that I should be nice to him because he picked on him a lot when they were roommates overseas.
I think one of my favorite parts was the pen dance...let me explain.  Eric has this blue pen as pictured below.  As you can see it has some wear and tear, and has a slight curve to it.  He carries this blue pen around a lot and I didnt really know anyone else knew about this pen...But all of the guys did!  Eric did not have the pen at the wedding, but we sure picked on him a lot about it...Sorry babe.  The pen dance is hard to explain, but it is pretty funny....kind of on the line of the lawn mower or the sprinkler dance moves we all know and have tried.

Well the wedding was a great time, but now me and Eric know we need other vacations.

Events occurring later in June. To be continued shortly!

  1. Yes you do need other vacations. I am suggesting that visiting a small town in central Wisconsin will be just the ticket. It is about an hour and twenty minutes. I hear there is a great resort about 5 miles away that has low rates in the winter. What a great vacation- you can ice skate and drink ice cream drinks oh la la. Oh and there are great almond lattes in town. Let me know when you make your reservation!
