Thanksgiving

It is hard to believe Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday. Were has the year gone? Sean and I are busy this week/weekend celebrating Thanksgiving with all three sets of our parents!! We went to Sean's Dad's on Sunday to celebrate with them and Lisa's side of the family. On Thanksgiving we are going to my parents house and then on Saturday we will be heading to Sean's Mom's house. I think after eating all of this delicious food we will be 15 pounds heavier.

We are running in a 4.5 mile race on Thanksgiving morning! I thought it would be a good idea to get in a run before eating all kinds of food. My fingers are crossed that it doesn't rain or snow til after the race. It is suppose to be in the thirty's Thursday and being cold and wet is not a good combination.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Halloween Party

The Halloween party was a blast! We had around 37 people show up at some point in the night. I think everyone had a great time and loved seeing everyone. Melvin did very well for that many people coming in and out of the house. We were a little worried at first but he did fine thank goodness.

Saturday the boys went to see Zombieland and the girls went shopping. We went out to Broadripple that night. We had fun seeing all the different costumes people came up with.

Sunday Sean had band. They recorded one of there songs called "The Basement." They can't wait for the guy to edit it so they can hear the finished product!

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! We are having a party tonight at our house to celebrate Halloween. I am very excited to see all of our friends and the costume that they will be sporting. This is the first party we have had at our house where both Sean and I's friends have both been invited. So there are going to be TONS of people at our house. We are expecting about 35 to 40 people to show up at some point this evening.

I spent most of my evening cooking and decorating last night. We are going to have all kinds of goodies at this party: rice crispy treats, bean dip, Halloween sugar cookies, Halloween candy, chex mix, and cheese dip. Our house is all decorated. We made several different Halloween purchases this year to help our house look festive.

Sean and I are dressing up as Batman/Batwoman. We bought our outfits in early October and have been anxiously waiting to wear them. Melvin was going to be Batdog but the costume I ordered him was WAY too big. So now he is going to be Mr. Melvin the prisoner. Stay toned for pictures next week sometime!

Sean and I got engaged last year at this time. Amazing how many wonderful things can happen in one year. 2009 has been a fantastic year for us so far!

My Weekly Update :)

I am trying to get back to my normal workout routine. I have been a little off track since Sean and I got married. So I am trying to get back into it and lose a few extra pounds. Whitney and I have been going to Zumba at least once a week and I am trying to get back into my running routine. In fact I ran 5 miles last week! I am trying to start training a little now for the half marathon I will be running in May. The more I train now the easier running will be for me closer to race time.

My Grandma is having some issues with her lungs and is going through some test this week to make sure her heart is strong enough to perform a lung biopsy. So please keep her in your prayers these next few weeks until we figure out what is wrong with her. She has been dealing with this since July and things just keep getting progressively worse. So we hope we can figure out the issue and get her healthy again soon!

Update on Sean's Band: Sean's band recently ordered t-shirts! Several of our friends and family members per-ordered shirts and those should be in sometime before Halloween. If you missed out on ordering a shirt and still want one please let us know.
They will be recording on November 1st. So we are keeping our fingers crossed that this goes well and they are satisfied with the outcome. They do not have any shows lined up at this time but are in search of one. So as soon as they get one booked we will be sure to let all of you know.

Fall is here!

It has been several month since I last posted. Sorry, life has been a little on the crazy side. I am not officially Mrs. Morgan Rooney!! The wedding and honeymoon were a blast!!! Sean and I had a fantastic time. We are enjoying married life and so far we love it!

Fall is here and in full swing. I can honestly say I have always disliked fall until this year. Sean and I have a lot of fun things planned this fall with family and friends. We are having a Halloween party at our house on Friday, Oct 30th. We are really looking forward to that. In fact Sean and I have our costumes ordered and our house decorated! Now if we could just find Melvin a Halloween costume. We are searching we just haven't found the right one quite yet.

Sean and I made a big purchase a few weekends ago. We bought our first flat screen television and entertainment center. The TV is suppose to be delivered sometime next week and we are still waiting to hear when our entertainment center will arrive. Yes, that's right folks we are no longer going to be using Sean's punk rock entertainment center! I am so excited!! I am hoping everything will arrive before our party but if not hopefully sooner than later. Our house is finally starting to come together!

Weekend Getaway

Sean and I are going away for the weekend! We are heading up to Northern Indiana to Sean's friends parents lake house. We went last year and had a blast so we are looking forward to it. It will also be good to get away from wedding planning for the next couple of days. Wedding planning is in full speed right now so I have been very stressed out am ready for a break!

Only 15 more days and I will be married woman!!!

Last Weekend

This weekend was a very fun and relaxing weekend.

Friday:

We watched James (Sean's little brother). It was his birthday last weekend so Sean took him to Skiers Edge and bought him a new skateboard. They skateboarded in our basement most of the evening. It was very entertaining to watch that if for sure. Sean was trying to keep up with James and well he is a little out of practice.

Saturday:

I went wedding shopping with my mom and sister. I needed to pick up a few final items and go to Mac to pick out make-up for the wedding. Sean and I then went to see The Ugly Truth (fantastic movie....I can't wait until it comes out on DVD) and had dinner at Mo's Irish Pub with my parents.

Sunday:

We went to the gym and hung out at the pool all day with Ina! We all got a lot of sun and it was a very relaxing day. That evening we just hung out and worked on some wedding stuff.

Only 19 more days until the wedding!!! It will be here before we know it I am sure. Time is flying by. It just seems like a few days ago we still had a little over 100 days....where has the time gone?
