update
I feel like I haven’t posted in forever’ nothing too new and exciting but that is the story of my life (and I am NOT complaining) This past weekend we helped my sister move to hr new apt. Its a nice place (not too big but not too small) I took some pics if anyone is really interested:

Before we helped my sister w met with SFIL to discuss Ben’s mom’s 50th bday next month’ we offered to go get prices from the place we got married for parties. After breakfast with SFIL’C we went to meet my sister at my mom’s house and we ended up helping more than had been asked but we sort of expected that. ’Her friends were supposed to be there by noon but didn’t show til I think close to 2pm’ and by then we had called Ben’s cousin who lives 5 min from her new place and he came over to help a little which by the time he got there her friends had shown up and we moved a majority.
sidebarmy sister and I are not close at all. ’I think since my niece was born its gotten better but we are still far from close,’ more like casual friends.’ my sister has a lot of warped ideas and such’ especially from our ‘youth’ and I would rather not get into it right now (maybe later) and somewhere along the way I began to be an evil monster in her view and so I always find it amusing whenever I meet a friend of my sister for the first time. They always give me a little head tilt as they say ‘oh you’re the/her sister’ and I get this look like they are really thinking ‘you don’t have 3 big green monster heads like she said you did’ but Ben just thinks I crazy (of course he is really one of, if not the only, person she likes in the family to begin with.
*end of sidebar*
Anyway...after we helped we took bens cousin with us to masso’s to get the party prices and then we went to the manor for lunch (the BEST cheese fries) and then headed home to see if our HP 6 books had arrived (which they did) and so we started to read them.
Sunday
we got up and went down to FIL’s house to help him move some heavy stuff since he went to emergency room Friday thinking he was having a heart attack but he is perfectly healthy-just stress from the house and all.’ I hung out with his fiancé mostly putting some things away while the men did the hard work.
After we finished there we came home and I made a quick run to my creative memories lady's open house to buy some goodies. Then stopped at the new restaurant that had just opened by us to get a take out menu. the place is called "Java Moon Cafe" and its a small chair here in NJ-not sure if they are elsewhere but their food is really good. We had eaten at another one of their stores last summer and when we saw this was opening around the corner we were excited. I went in and got a menu and the manager told me to tell my husband it tastes better when we come in so after I went home we decided to go back and eat there.
The food was great-and the service was as well so we will definatly be back and plan to bring everyone we know there. We are hoping to try and make a regular once a week meal of it too b/c we like their food and their menu changes.
After THAT we got into reading a little more but were both exhausted after a weekend of moving so we didn't read as much as we would like.
Monday....work, home-we just got some pizza b/c I had scrapbooking that night so he stayed home to read while I went to get started on my vegas scrapbook although I didn't get as as I normally do in one session b/c I was anxious to get home and read. I read for a little while when I got home but started to fall asleep since I was still so tired.
Tuesday...work, home and then I gathered and took laundry to the laundry-mat. I figured i could get some good reading done there while doing laundry at the same time. I have to say though that laundry-mats should HAVE to be HIGHLY air-conditioned! It was not but since I had a full tank of gas I turned the car on and read in their between the washing and drying. I picked up some dinner and by the time I got home, ben was so far into the book he was telling me that I had to just sit and read b/c he couldn't say anything. So I went into the bedroom while he went to sleep and i finished reading. I finally finished and he was asleep-I didn't wnat to wake him up so we didn't even talk about it til this morning and only for a few sec as he was getting ready to leave. Tonight we can talk about it-finally!
Right now I am snagging a few minutes at work now to post an update here-our students are on a trip and I should be doing some other stuff but I am not!
ta ta for now!
