Father's Day and Gardens

The rain is back in Ohio so that means no pool this girl!  So I have found things to do to fulfil my time!  Meaning not always doing things that I love = the garden!  I walked out the other day and thought wow if I don't do something my neighbors are going to start thinking I'm lazy!  So I got Jay out there and had him dig up the huge weeds and I went behind him and throw everything out.  After that I was over it so I will have to do more today!  I will post pics when its over.

I have been trying to become organized and keep the house clean while also not rushing around in the mornings! So the new rule is Sunday pick out five outfits for work and keep them together in the bathroom so I'm not running around trying to find something to wear.  Now if I can only stick to my plan I might have a good thing going here!

Yesterday was Father's Day so we went to Cracker Barrel for my dad and had an awesome breakfast then went over to Target and Home Depot then spent the rest of the day just relaxing! 

Crazy Dog!

Tank goes to a doggy daycare here in Centerville and their are having a contest to see who has the best video of their dog going to daycare! The winner gets 5 whole days at daycare for FREE!  Here is Tank's entry!

Its Raining Golf Balls

For the entire span of my 4 years with Jay all I have heard when we hear a storm is coming is "man I hope it hails"  Well last night Centerville, Bellbrook and some other parts of town was hit pretty hard with some huge hail!  Luckily everyone was OK however we didn't come out with 100% in the clear!

As the night went on we were blessed to not be hit again however I don't think this is the last of the storms! For some reason Mother Nature seems to be pretty pissed off right now.  

Lets Get Away

So has you all know I was moving and now I'm not! The renters didn't pay their deposit before then ran off to get married so I didn't feel comfortable moving without it! That's OK I have worked on getting the condo back into living condition ( it had gotten a little messy) and now its back to being my home :) I will have to post pictures! School is almost coming to a close for my 2nd quarter! I'm not sure if I'm going to take classes in the Summer or not!

I went to FL last month for a couple of days! It was nice to just sit around and do nothing :)

I got to see my grandparents while I was there :)

And eat a whole lot!

Besides the trip everything has been a whirl wind! Dance had clinics and tryouts and then officer tryouts and we have a new team for next year! Officer is always hard b/c you know the girls on a personal level and want everyone to have everything they want which is impossible to achieve :( So you always have a broken heart of two!

Along with that Steve VanGoder is trying to win man of the year for the Cancer Society and since its the same cancer that as hit our family I have been behind him 100%. Our first event was on Friday at Steve's house and was a Monte Carlo theme. I forgot to take pictures :( but the night was a blast! I haven't drank more then a beer in a very long time so getting up and moving Saturday was not easy! What happened to those 20 something days were I was up and at the gym the next day ??? Oh Well!

Well I better get back to working :) See you soon!

Moving Backwards!

The last month has been a searching blur.... Trying to find the right place to call my new home was proven to be harder then I thought. First problem was Six, not only is she huge but she also contains what the apartments like to call an "aggressive breed" in her. Try explaining she is a "mutt" when she looks like exactly what she is an AKITA! Problem number two oh wait that was Six too! The girlfriend I wanted to move in with has her own dog and Six just loves to make life harder and doesn't get along with other people's pets! Problem three is where do I want to live anyway! In our search we found that it was easier for Georgia to live in a place downtown that gave her flexibility with no lease and was a great price however I could not follow suit b/c of Six so now comes to where the heck am I going??? With a move date of "I have to be out before May 12th" I was down to needing to decide. So after going through the places we had look at one more time with my dear friend April who tells me what she really thinks! (which is one reason I love her) we chose Washington Park. There is where my blog title comes in! I lived there before I bought my condo so its like I'm moving back! So in a little less then a month I will be leaving the condo that I have called home for the last 5 years and moving down the street to a two bedroom apartment!

Regional Champs!

This weekend we went to Regional for the dance team! The Elementary team had a great day! We brought home Regional Champs in Jazz and 2nd in both Hip Hop and Pom! Way to go girls! I think my hair and makeup was done and redone by the girls a total of 5 times but they had fun so that is all that matters :)

Things are really moving!

So yesterday was a HUGE day! I finished my first quarter of school and got one of my grades so far 95.5% woot! I will be waiting a few days for my second class (the teacher takes her time grading). I took the sign out of the window yesterday at the condo b/c it is officially Rented!

So now comes the fun part and the Nicole is going to freak out b/c I am a freak and worry about everything! But its time to find a place to live and get moved. It is also time to find my own car b/c come November the lease is up on the Maxima and I will be getting my own car this time! So I have been spending hours looking over the same apartment ads I decided to switch gears and look for cars! I think I am going to go with something fun! Here is what I'm thinking:

Why not have fun since I am single and have no kids!
