just a side note...the pictures were all take on suday outside our little house and they are randomly placed throughout to give you a break from reading...there is no really significant reason for them other than they are of sophie and we like to take pictures of her.
lets start with friday...
scott has friday off because he has to work on sunday...well he has to be in church on sunday. so friday, lets see, we started the morning off slow as we waited for sophie to finish her morning nap, and then headed out to do a few chores, but not before i was allowed to go grocery shopping by myself. kinda sad when your adventure involves the bank and groceries. but i made sure to take a couple extra moments and took my time walking up and down the aisles, just cause i could. once home and sophie was up we headed out to get my little scooter insured. now you may be thinking, how is corinna going to ride a scooter when she has a little one with her. well, much to scotts dismay, it is he that is riding it to work...and it's pretty funny too! let me tell you about my little red scooter. i got this a while ago and rode it everywhere....i love my scooter. scott had a motorcycle and so the two of us would go out on the town together, scott pulling over every once in a while so that i could catch up, you can only go 50 on it. we would go to church together and i would pull my scooter up with all the other harleys and park it amongst the big boy toys. while driving it, i would wave at the bikers and they would wave back...trust me, i would get pretty excited on that thing...scott would just shake his head. anyway, there are surf stickers on it, most of them are a little girly, and besides that it is red...definitely a girl mobile. however, scott is riding it to and from work...it makes me giggle just thinking of him, his big tall and lanky body sitting on this tiny little machine with his little helmet on scooting to work! he came home on sunday after driving it to first service and said he wanted a motorcycle...i thought that this was a close enough experience for now, and one that we could afford...poor guy.
saturday, scott had to do a fund raiser for the missions trip he is going on in july. when he got home we was so excited...he had stopped by a garage sale and picked up a lawn mower and a rototiller for thirty bucks...i am still not too sure what we need a rototiller for, but hey, we have one! so he stayed outside for a while and fixed them up. then we headed to value village for some good times...i always helps to live in a university town cause then the VV rules. we found a few treasures and then stopped at franks corner store for a slurppee ice cream drink. pretty good. i had made a rule on saturday that it was going to be a day of no electronics, so now computer, no tv, no video games...you understand. so we came home and had a great dinner, put sophie to bed and played a rocking game of pick-up sticks and 90's trivial pursuit. scott's mom and sister called half way during our pursuit game which ended our night-o-fun! i think scott was relieved! when we climbed into bed, he smiled and said to me that no electronics night was defiantly a corinna idea!
sunday after church we were invited out for lunch for some friends house. a sure way to end the weekend, very enjoyable. once home i decided i would give this lawnmower of scotts a try. what a beast. i pushed so hard and was sweating a ton by the time i finished...guess i won't be thinking that is such a fun idea anymore...defiantly not as much fun as i had envisioned. i put that thing away and came in. we chilled and just enjoyed each other last night. scott played his psp and watched tv at the same time...i think he was trying to make up for the night before.
in other news, we have had a talk about fitness, as that is really important in our family...well, lets be honest, it is important to me and no one else! but scott is trying, so we go for a walk nearly every night. but we have to step out, we can't just stroll. so the other night, this is scott...almost running ahead of me and yelling back, common corinna we gotta step it out now, you ain't stepping out cor, step it out! he made me laugh pretty hard...what would i do without him.
so that is us. pretty simple, pretty fun. we have made the decision to stay here, at least for another two years. then we will reevaluate and see where we stand. it feels good to make a decision and not be wavering around. thank you for your thoughts and prayers...much needed. now if you could pray for me...i made a mistake on my maternity leave papers and was only paid for 15 weeks, now have to send in more papers and hope they consider my mistake and continue parental benefits...we are screwed if they don't.

You gotta snap a pic of your man on the scooter! (I just typed scotter instead of scooter and made myself laugh! Scotter's scooter!)
