Back to the Future: part 1 - new member of the family

What's going on? Now it's like a week ago?

Oh yeah, how could we forget? our family just got a little bigger!!!

We're no longer a couple and their little fish (Alpha the Betta), but now Dirk the Dyson has been added to the brood.

As hardcore as they are made out to be, they are REALLY easy to assemble (step 1: open the box, step 2: plug in the hose. that's basically it).
SOMEONE was REALLLLLLY excited about the new addition...
They were exited enough that at 11 pm they wanted to vacuum the entire apartment.
Ok, it was Andrea, you got it out of me.

MY BIRTHDAY - by andre

Is it Labor Day weekend already? Then I guess it's time for a road trip. And what better way is there to start a trip than the proper way, with In-N-Out!!!

Yup, cheeseburgers animal style, pink lemonade, chocolate milkshake, and fries. This would be the fuel for the 4 1/2 hours ride to the city of sin. (take that Google maps, beat ya by an hour!)

When we finally got there we went to the mecca of chocolate. It was DELICIOUS!!!!! If you ever get a chance to find yourself in such far flung locals as Vegas, Philly, or NYC in the States, or you find yourself in South East Asia in the Philippines or Singapore, a little further south in Australia, or in Israel (all the places you would expect a chocolate based restaurant would set up shop) you should stop in for the best peanut butter shake of your life.

(thanks to Jaala for the photographic evidence and sharing her Mexican Hot Chocolate)

So that was all nice and good, but THEN we went to... THE PINBALL HALL OF FAME!!!!

It was pretty sick (good sick, not bad sick).

so far, so good.

LESS THAN 10 DAYS!!!

time flies, and it's all the more evident by how we made a goal to post once a week and didn't post for the entire month of july. oh well.

anyway, we have less than 10 days until the wedding and only earlier today figured out our cake situation for the reception. it must be all that last minute, deadline adrenaline that is helping us get things done. hopefully before the reception starts we'll figure out the music situation.

but on a fun note, today was Andrea's last day at work for a while, so the party has finally begun. tomorrow we're going to be all kinds of productive and run a million and a half errands. HOORAY FOR SPENDING MONEY!!!! :) !!!! it's a good thing we love each other, otherwise this would all be some kind of ridiculous.

it has just been decided that we'll actually be going to the movies in the morning before we get anything done, that's what i'm talking about.

speaking of movies, who keeps thinking hiring will ferrell is a good idea?
