Cheers!

Another month has passed and yet another eventful dinner party! A good time was had by all as we indulged in BBQ and all the fixin's... This one was particularly special because the VA crew was in attendance. The only thing that was missing was our Indy folk! Here is a good pic of the girls (we couldn't coral the guys long enough to get a group shot of them). Being a bit chilly, there was quite a bit of consumption of "antifreeze for the soul"... Which led to some less than appropriate dinner conversations! However, it didn't stop Katie and Kim from giving the guys a little show! And yes, I still plan on hosting the sex toy party...

It has been discussed that we will switch months with Jen because of the Halloween party plans... (My cousin's wedding kinda makes it tough to do it on the 27th, so the weekend before seems to be the best alternative.) So I believe the next event will be at our place on October 12th. We can confirm on Monday at the Windle's. And start thinking about your Halloween costumes! I expect more than a Cardinals fan this year, Susan! Matt and I are going to be Gomez and Morticia Addams... I wanted to dress up Denver and Malibu as Pugsley and Wednesday, but Matt won't let me...

A Little Help Please!

So, I've been thinking of a way to earn some supplemental income lately and I came across this opportunity on Craig's List... It is for being a consultant for a company that sells custom made handbags designed by the consumer. AKA- purse parties. I think that it is a fantastic concept and the bags are super cute (Kate Spade like), but I am still weighing the pros and cons. I am relying on all of you to offer your support, suggestions, feedback... I have included some web links on the sidebar of various bag resources as well as a poll (thanks, Susan) for you guys to check out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

More Good News!

No, I'm not pregnant! However, I am feeling great for the 4th day in a row! I started antibiotics last Wednesday and it appears that it was a nasty infection in my gut all along. Of course, there is still the Crohn's to content with, but this has alleviated many of my symptoms.

So, in other news... Sunday was the "8th Annual Emerson Picnic." Matt and I spent the afternoon mingling with family, sampling grilled dove (much anticipated every year), and chasing after the Boo Brothers. Here are some cute pictures of the boys... (Note Jackson's early affinity for booze in the last one! He crawled right over to the cooler and took the lid off.)
