I know, I'm slack!

Yeah yeah...I know it's been two weeks since I last wrote on here. Last week I kept meaning to get it done, but I kept getting sidetracked and before I knew it it was Friday and there was no point. But now Jeremy's been bugging me about getting it done, and so I figured I had better put in some effort!

So...to fill you all in....Last weekend (as in July 29/30) Jeremy and I were in Cleveland for his grandma's 80th birthday. We got on the road Friday night, and arrived Saturday around midday. Thank goodness we weren't driving the whole time. By about midnight Friday we had had enough, and decided to stop at a hotel for the night. Boy, was that a mistake! Imagine, if you will, the most uncomfortably small bed you've ever slept in and you will have some idea as to how we spent the night. Poor Jeremy was miserable. So after much tossing and turning we left on Saturday to finish the drive. Cleveland is a little over 6 hours from our place, which really isn't too bad of a drive. Anyways, after a hectic hour or so shopping to find me something to wear, we all got ready and made our way to mass. Jeremy's uncle is a priest, and so we stayed in the Rectory of his church (by we I mean me, Jeremy, and Jeremy's parents and sisters). After church we headed over to a hall for dinner. Most of Jeremy's mum's side of the family was there, so it was really nice to get to meet them all finally (although a little confusing!). Sunday we went out to breakfast at a pub right by the Rectory, and then it was home again.

Monday I was exhausted. The weekend had just flown by, without stopping for so much as a hello! But of course it was work as usual - in 100 degree heat!! Man, last week was absolutely disgusting! It was extremely hot and humid all week. The girls have been in swimming lessons, so I had to sit outside for an hour everyday sweating my butt off. It was pretty gross. Thank goodness it finally rained here last night/this morning, so most of the humidity and heat is gone. But really...yuck!!

Then this weekend just gone I went out with one of my aupair friends who is leaving in a couple of weeks. It was good to have a girls night out (much to Jeremy's disgust), and I'm sure I'll miss her when she goes.

And that just about brings us up to now. Tonight I bought tickets to something I have wanted to see for years and years. Cirque du Soleil is coming to town and Jeremy and I have tickets!! Yay!!!! Tickets went on sale yesterday and, although most of the good seats were sold out, I still managed to get us seats 5 rows from the front. I'm so so so excited! I've wanted to see a Cirque du Soleil show since forever - I always used to watch it on tv when it was on on a Sunday afternoon. And now that it's coming to DC of course I couldn't let the opportunity go by. So mark your calendars for November 3rd - it's likely to be one of the best days of my life! WHOOHOO!

On a completely different note, I have been looking very hard for a snowboard/bindings/boots. I'm so excited to get my own gear this year, and I can't wait for the snow season to be here. Jeremy and I are thinking of getting season tickets to some ski resorts that are close to us, and I'm looking forward to going as often as we can. I wish summer was over so that we could hit the slopes!! Yay for snowboarding!

And that's about it, I think. Nothing too exciting has been happening over here really. Only two more weeks and then Jessica, the new aupair, arrives. So it's only about three or four weeks until I move in with Jeremy. Yay! That's something else I'm excited about!

I guess I'm just excited about everything tonight!
