cabin fever

first of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my baby brother! i can't believe ty is 15!


i love this picture of him.

in other news, i think it's safe to say we're ready for spring. it turns out columbus is just as depressing as bowling green in the winter...except that this year i'm not writing a thesis...so i've got that going for me. kidding, i love my life.

when the bitter coldness let up last weekend, i went for a run/walk (okay, so i ran to like one stop sign and convinced myself i "ran"). anyway, later that day i was experiencing some severe sinus-related pain. turns out i was basically breathing in poison. ughhh allergies.

so this week i developed sinusitis, completely lost my voice, and now i have an annoying cough that erick is really loving. sometimes i think he feels like ethan frome, married to a crabby, sickly woman. only we don't eat doughtnuts, pickles, and meat pie for dinner.

so this weeked we decided to get out and went to the mall all day for a date. it was super fun, and we bought some great stuff. i even almost bought a jean shirt. true story: my entire family wore different shades of denim shirts in a family picture once. sometimes a little retail therapy is all you need.

oh yeah, and erick actually said, "i think i'm ready for a wedding or something!" whaaaaa??????

worst blogger ever.

i'm pretty bad at this blogging business. i mostly enjoy the stalking of blogs. (i.e. - i love to live vicariously through naomi.)

i'm really going to try to be better about WRITING. so here goes nothing...

i should probably start by telling you about my 24th birthday weekend. it was pretty epic. epic in that my sister-in-law and her husband met andie, erk, and i downtown columbus, and several of us (not andie, erk, or me) rode an electric bull! YEP, an electric bull. lucky for...the world...we got it all on tape. these are not your typical bull-riding-folk, my friends. michelle was even told my the bull engineer(?) that he'd never seen anyone stay on for that long. best. gift. ever.

***video coming soon. i'm experiencing technical difficulties.

i also got this gem in the mail from the dick allington (love of my life) fan club.



and i spent my actual birthday shopping, eating, and watching a movie with my sweet mom and little sister. bub and i ordered b-dubs for dinner. it's safe to say this was my favorite birthday yet. (i know i say that every year, but they seriously keep getting better!)

***and can i just say, I AM SO HAPPY for coopy and nile and elated that mo has a blog. my prayers have been answered ;)
