Warriors for life!

Last weekend was Homecoming at WSU, so Bobby and I had to go pay a visit! I stayed with my girl, Ryan and Bobby was at her boyfriend, Sean's place. Sean is one of Bobby's frat brothers and luckily I get along really well with his girlfriend, Ryan. We went down early on Friday to see people I used to work with and to get a transcript for Bobby to send to St. Mary's. We got to see the new Maxwell, which is HUGE! The Admissions office doesn't even look the same anymore! It's amazing! We then went up to the "hub" which is where the registrar's, financial aid, cashier, etc are at. It was quite odd to see the changes, but it looks great!

We went to the VFW to hang out with people and it was like I was back in Junior year! All the people I pledged in with from TKE were there and some of the older Phi Thets, it was pretty awesome. Saturday was the parade, and LOTS of gnats! The TKE's reserved the VFW for the afternoon, and that was so much fun! We grabbed a bite to eat and then took it easy the rest of the night. It was so nice to see old friends! I'm still unsure about next year. I know I won't be THAT old, but it felt kind of weird going back this year, so next year may not be much better.

HEROES is on tonight.... just a side note! YAY!

Star Wars....FINALLY

I've finally seen all of the Star Wars movies! I saw the new 3 when they came out in the theaters....then Bobby and I finally sat down this week and watched the original 3. I bought him the box-set a few years ago, so it was about time! Now I want to go back and watch all 6 from the beginning again!

"Heroes" season 3 starts next Monday! YAY!! Cannot wait!!!

First day back.........

Today was my first day back at Anoka Tech....wow it was weird! Although, it felt like I never left! I'm only there for 4 weeks, so I'll soon be back at SVRS at my regular hours!

So....when Bobby went on his camping trip...someone had an accident in his car, and it smelled like Lysol and pee for a couple days. Yeah, it was lovely. Luckily he found a place nearby that would detail and clean it for him on a walk-in basis, so it's all better now! WHEW! But it was pretty bad for a couple days there.

In other news, Bobby's cousin Chris finally welcomed his baby girl Willa Jane into the world! Many congrats to Chris, Crystal and new grandparents Aunt Jo and Uncle Kevin!! Now we're just waiting for his cousin Jen to pop out that beautiful baby boy! Cousin Kyla's son Triston just turned 1...that's 3 babies in just over a year..... geesh! That's a lot of Pflugh babies! Ummm.... yeah, don't be looking to us for the next one! Unless you're willing to wait a while..... :-)

Overall, things are great with us! We're having some of my ITP friends over tomorrow night, and spending Saturday just hanging out and relaxing. Yay for a day off!!

The weekend is almost over.... :(

But Bobby's home! He's home from the camping trip and he is exhausted! I was at church all morning, the choir sang in 2 services and then I had the second half of my confirmation guide training. Both of us are experiencing allergies and it is NO fun! I woke up congested and with a scratchy throat which made me nervous because I am a first Soprano in the choir.... which means high notes! But all went well and now I can relax tonight. I'm so glad I don't have to work tonight.... I need a break! I have a full work week ahead of me and I start at Anoka Tech on Thursday, so I need to be careful that I don't over do it and take care of my body.

Have a fabulous Sunday.....and bring on the work week!

House to myself!

Well Bobby left this morning to go on his camping trip with work. He isn't very far away, but it'll be far enough away for the clients. I went to downtown Stillwater today with my mom, Pat and Kara. We ate at this little dive called Whitey's, I had Walleye strips, which were really yummy! Then we just walked around and checked out all the little shops. Pat got a few Christmas gifts already! I know, I know, it's not even Halloween, but they were pretty much the perfect gift for the friends she bought them for!

Then mom and I went to Maplewood mall for Macy's big sale. Unfortunately, I didn't score anything at Macy's, I was looking for bedding. We still don't have anything in the colors we want. We have the sheets, but not the comforter. But we went to New York and Company and Bath & Body Works.....got some MAJOR deals!! I have 2 pairs of jeans that I wear regularly, when I'm not in work clothes of course. And as usual, my NY&C jeans were worn so frequently that I rubbed a hole in the inner thigh of the pant....so I went to NY&C to replace them. I had a 30% off coupon from my mom, PLUS the jeans were on sale (which I didn't know about) AND I got the earrings to match a necklace I bought a few weeks ago. I barely spent any money, it was fantastic! Then went to Bath and Body Works and scored some hand soap! I love it when you just stumble upon amazing deals when all you were doing was just routine shopping/replacing of items. :)

Now, Bre is on her way over and we're taking advantage of me having the house to myself to possibly watch some chick flicks! Of course I hate being away from Bobby, but it's nice to have a night with just the girls sometimes! Happy weekend!

We may not have kids.....BUT

We'd like to think we have enough common sense to know when someone is a bad parent. For example.... we went to Cold Stone last night for a little treat. As we were going to sit outside, we hear this mom yelling at her daughter. She couldn't have been more than 6 years old and the mom is saying "If you had just quite your bitchin, you'd realize we were going to get ice cream anyway!" Then she sees us as they're going into the store and she says "Don't have kids you guys, I'm serious," as her daughter is RIGHT THERE! HELLO! Who does that?!?!

This is why some kids grow up with low self-esteem, their parents are constantly putting them down!

Yes, this is the second post today, but Bobby really wanted me to post that!

The school year has begun!

Now that it's September, it also means school has started. I will be spending a few weeks at Anoka Tech interpreting for a student that I also worked with last year. I'm looking forward to it because I've been out of the schools for 4 months. I do love my work at Sorenson, but it'll be a nice change for a few weeks. I'll be working at VRS Sundays and Mondays until the class ends on October 2. This weekend, Bobby is going with workers and residents from all of the houses on a camping trip. EEK! It'll be a great experience for him, but it will also come with a lot of responsibility.

Things have been going really well for us. We have had some struggles over the summer and have had to face some challenges, but we've been through a LOT in our 5 years together, so everything just keeps making us stronger. I always say God never gives me more than I can handle, so I just keep remembering that and know that I can always take a moment to pray if things get a little out of hand.

We miss our out-of-town family and friends so much! We hope that we can get out to visit more of you next year! With the shock of fast rising gas prices this year, taking road trips was out of the question. But things are more on track with our jobs and we'd love to see all of you!!
