Kyle and I attended a wedding reception recently that was...interesting.  The theme was similar to that of the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland.



This character was the best man and wore a purple shirt, purple crush velvet jacket, and top hat with a large feather

Mission Reunions, Nauvoo Reunion & General Concference

Kyle and I made a quick trip up to Utah at the beginning of April for several reasons:

1. Mission reunions: Cheryl (Michigan) and Kyle (Texas)
2. Nauvoo Reunion
3. General Conference

Side Gate & Concrete

Just doing some projects around the house and this was a big one.  We tore out the grass on the side of the house and transplanted it to the back yard where there were some dead spots.  Then Kyle raked and leveled the dirt and got it ready for concrete.  He had a gate made and had it powder coated so that it will not rust.

A New Car

Kyle and I bought a 2011 Ford Edge Sport.  It's pretty sweet! 

 Comes with 22 inch rims, MyFord/Sync system where I can talk to the car and tell it what to do, backup camera, ambient lighting, Panoramic Vista moonroofs, and lots of other cool features. 

An Old Car

So my 2001 Infiniti I30 is getting a bit old, and has quite a few miles on her- 184,446 to be exact. 

 So Kyle and I have been planning and saving to buy a new car for quite some time now and decided that Thursday March 24 would be the day.  So what happens to me on Wednesday, March 23?  I got rear-ended.  Yep, I was backing out from the bank when some lady creamed into the back of me.  I had a witness tell me the driver was going very fast and had actually sped up so as to cut him off from crossing the parking lot. 

Long story short, their insurance cut us a check and we sold the car last night as is, with no repairs, and ended up making more money on the car than we would have if we had traded it in at the dealer.

Nuclear Cowboyz

Kyle's brother's friend had a box suite at the Arena for the Nuclear Cowboyz, so we luckily got to go.  Kyle was enthralled and loved every minute of it, especially when the quads did back flips.

Ezekiel George Psillos

On Wednesday, 2 March 2011, at 5:20pm my sister Erin gave birth to Ezekiel "Zeke" George Psillos who was 7 lbs 10 ounces and 20.5 inches.  I was a bit hesitant to be in the delivery room seeing that they had asked me to take rated G pictures, but I think I handled it like a champ.  Learned a LOT but was glad to see little Zeke come into the world.

A little toilet paper never hurt anyone......

Funny Story:

3 female coworkers and myself decided to Toilet Paper the house of a male coworker and had all the plans in place.  Night of the event approaches and 2 of the female coworkers decided they were too tired to go out and do this activity.  So....us remaining two females called up the original male vicitm and got him to help us TP the two females who bailed on us.

Lesson to be Learned:

Do not make plans and then bail out with LAME excuses.

It was a ton of fun to act like a teenage again

Erin's Baby Shower

Back in early February I threw a baby shower for my sister Erin.  Lots of friends and family showed up and helped Erin and Richie with fun things for their first baby.
