Gala for Hope

Here are some pictures from the American Cancer Society Gala that we went to on Saturday. We had a great time. It was at the Ritz in Clayton. We actually stayed there after the gala with Brian and Angie. We had a great time and even had a celebraty sighting...Denzel Washington. Yes that is right..the Bone Crusher himself. No pics or anything of him, but I promise we saw him.
This is John going through the mini bar to see the crazy prices.

Praise the Lord

for Fridays!!!! I am so glad that it is the weekend and I am able to have a few days off. A vacation is much needed.

What are everyone's plans for the weekend?

We start bowling again tonight. It doesn't seem like it is time for a new season. The summer just flew by. Then tomorrow night is the American Cancer Society Gala that I have been working so dang hard on for the past EIGHT MONTHS!!! It is going to be so much fun. We get to dress up and feel like we are important people at a gala with St. Louis's finest.

Happy Friday!

Our weekend visitors

My cousins, Molly & Brady, came to visit us! (We still wish that Megan could have been with them.) So we did the normal St. Louis thing by going to the Arch. I think that makes #7 for me in like 2 years. There are people that have the in the Lou thier whole life and haven't gone up in the Arch, but not me. I frequent the Arch.
Anyway, so we had a great time and now they are going and we are back to work. BOOOO!

Our weekend

Friday we had Brittney, Trey and Jason Castles over to our condo. I made chicken parmesan, breead, spagetti, and salad. It was very yummy. It was good to see Jason. We went to college with him and he has just moved here a few weeks ago.

Saturday we got up early and went to get cardinal tickets. Then ran a few errands and I went shopping. Then that night we went to the Cards game.

 

John wasn't happy that I made him take his picture with his brick, but I did anyway!!!

 

Grand Opening of the Cardinals Team Store

And they have these freaky things in ther. Why do you put a cardinal head on a baseball player. I understand we are the Cardinals and all, but this is kind of scary!

 

You DO NOT throw at Pujlos!!! See next picture...

 

Homerun Swing

This is what happens when you pitch to hit Albert!! He jacks one out of the part. It was great to break the loosing streak while we were there!!! GO CARDS!!!

Finally a post

This week has been a little crazy at work and I just haven't had time to post. I hate that. It seems as though the blogosphere helps me to keep my sanity while at work. It provides entertainment, laughter, and a means of escape!!! :-)

So, this weekend we were in Nashville.

Saturday afternoon we met my grandparents for lunch. Which by the way they are leaving for Texas today! Have a great trip Nana and Pa.

Then Sat. night was the couples shower for my cousin, Kacie, and her husband, Justin. Little Elijah Wade will be here soon!!! We had a good time and got to see some family. (see Pics below)

Then later we met up with other cousins, Molly and Megan, to get desert! Good to see you two. COME VISIT US SOON!!!!!

Sunday we went to Granny and Papa's to swim for a little while and then headed home.

Agenda for this weekend: NOTHING !!!! We haven't done that in a very very long time.

Eli's Room is so cute!!!
