We had our tool shower Saturday. That was a lot of fun. Brant was able to hang with an old buddy and his brother. I got to hang with my second family :). It was a good time. The hostesses were wonderful and everything was beautiful and delicious. Of course, after the party was over we went to my moms and opened gifts. This time it was just Brant, my parents and me. Still fun! We got all kinds of good stuff. Brant got some really neat tools, as did I ;). Our 2 favorite gifts is the combo tool kit - for Brant and the BBQ grill for both of us :). We'll see who uses it most ;).
As always I have some pictures attached!
Hope you had a great weekend

Saturday, August 18, 2007What a week...
What a week it’s been!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was gone Wednesday thru Thursday doing my civic duties and being on a murder jury…yes…horrible I know. It was my first and it was graphic. The first night I had nightmares the second night was a lot better – don’t think I thought about it at all. I have to admit it was an experience, but I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that. We saw EVERYTHING, heard EVERYTHING even the defendant testify. It just wasn’t pleasant. Not only that but we had to decide on his life…it was easy, but hard – if that makes since. All I can say is, I’m glad it’s over!!!! I am ready to go back to work on Monday…It was a bad week for me to be out, but I know it’ll be ok. Today was another relaxation weekend for me. My mom and I went to get pedicures – that was relaxing and fun! We got to see a setup of a wedding reception at Briarcrest, that was neat. After all that I came home and watch The Ultimate gift. Oh my goodness – good movie, but it’s a tear jerker! Now, I’m sitting here writing in my blog. I’m sad I don’t have any pictures, but hopefully I’ll have some soon. Hope everyone is having a good summer! Take Care! Monday, August 13, 2007I'm Pooped!
Well, what a weekend and day it was for me!
The weekend was fast, of course! HOWEVER, we did NOTHING. My moms computer was not working we Brant and I were trying to fix it. Well, it was getting worse but we were due to have dinner at Brant’s parents house. That was a really fun night. We were there until 10pm. We just all sat, talked, laughed and enjoyed our self. Sunday, we were back to my parents – there from 8am to 9pm. Her hard drive was crashing, so she wasn’t happy. My mom and I just watched movies to take her mind off things. Watch Breach – that was really good! As well as Fracture and Oceans 13 - - all good movies : ). That was literally our weekend. TODAY on the other hand I was summoned to jury duty. I was there from 9am to 6pm….whoa what a day…and guess what? All I can say right now is I’m a juror! FIRST ever! I’ll be able to talk about that experience when it’s over. I am super tired after a long day of pretty much sitting! I don’t have anything fun and exciting to report. Maybe soon!! PS: I miss Jenn - she's been in Canada for a week now... :) Here's her walking on water...too bad I can take the pics. 
Friday, August 10, 2007YAY for Fridays!
It's Friday! YAY! I can't believe it is, but I'm happy it is!
Not much has been going on in our world lately. Just working and being at home. I finally got some pictures to hang on my wall. I have a picture, but they aren't up yet - waiting on the handy man ;). My mom is out of town so I went to see Aggie and Sarge yesterday. If you know those pups and my mom you would know that they are MISERABLE with her being gone; however, they were super excited to see sissy yesterday. We don't have "to do" this weekend. We're actually having a family dinner at the Hickerson's Saturday...that's me, Brant, my parents and his....I think it'll be fun! I'll have to let you know how it goes. I have been called for my first jury duty Monday. Hopefully when I call Sunday they'll say "this has been taking care of out side of the courts, you do not need to attend ;)" I wish..haha! I'll definitely let you know how that goes! Well, not much to say. Hope you are enjoying the blogs. Talk to you soon. JAE with a smile :) my new painting:  Look at this pretty face - - meet Aggie  He's tooo cute - this is Sarge 
Tuesday, August 7, 2007Typical Tuesday
Monday passed right on by and today has been a drag.
We have a new lady in the office, her name is Jenny and she is a doll! She's very outgoing and she's going to be great in this office. We hit it off the day she came to interview. Any ways, I was able to talk and visit with her this morning. She likes to shoot guns and arrows :) woo hoo! Her husband is a jeepster like my dad, so I thought all of this was really neat. Brant and I had lunch together. We just ate and watched days of our lives. He likes to watch my soap opera, but I bet he wouldn't admit that to you :). Got to talk to Jenn today...well I have been since she's been gone. She's already ready to come home - imagine that :)haha! Seems like they've watched movies, she's shown them all her people from back home and they went to a bar that had a Mexican band. Apparently Canadians never hear Mexican bands, so it was interesting :). I really don't have much going on right now. My weeks are usually quite. Just work, come home, watch TV and sometimes work on wedding stuff. Hope you are having a great week. Ttys. Just some pics Saturday, August 4, 2007Saturday's are going to be busy the next 3 months
Well, I woke up about 8, relaxed a little then headed to my mom. We had a meeting with the florist. It was fun – but GEEZE how expensive that bill is going to be :-/, but I think we will be very happy with everything. After being there almost 2 hours we headed to TjMaxx to get vases for the candy buffet – that was fun for us : ). Next door to TJMaxx is an alteration place, so we took my dress to get have the bustle added and the veil fixed. Can’t wait to get them back. After that was done we headed to Hobby Lobby got a few things grabbed a bite then headed back to my moms house. By now it was 3 in the afternoon. My mom wanted to take a nap, so I went home and watched Disturbia. Very good intense movie.
6pm headed back to my parents and we all started stuffing those envelopes. WooooHoooo they are DONE! Addressed, stuffed and almost ready to be mailed. 475 invitations is TOOOO MANY if you ask me : ). After another long day I came home, laid in bed and watched 88 Minutes. That’s another good movie! : ) Friday, August 3, 2007woo hoo it's Friday!
Luckily for me I didn’t have to get up until 7:30 b/c I had an SECC meeting at the Student Rec Center. Well, it so happened to be Fish camp day and some sort of Cheer leading day. That side of campus was packed. I walk into the Rec and all you can hear is little girls cheering. It was fun to see. I wasn’t there for the fun though, I had an SECC meeting. After that was over I headed to the office then the next thing I know it’s lunch and half my day is over. Gotta love that!
My parents and I wanted to go see the Bourne Ultimative, but poor Brant was working late and was really tired so he said for us to just go and we did! First we stopped and ate freebirds. We were sitting by the window b/c my mom was cold and the sun was shining through. At that store they have a black screen to keep the sun out, but you can still kinda see out of it. I just so happened to glance out and I see a familiar car – it was Jenn! She was parked right in front of the window, so I do something funny through the window and she sees me. So we got to see her and Blanton, I was glad cause I got to say good bye again before she left. Off to the movie we went – I liked it. My parents did like it, but they didn’t like how the cameras worked. They were all over the place, so sometimes you were dizzy. It was a good night. Thursday, August 2, 2007Thursday's are BIG BROTHER days
I won’t let any sinus or allergies mess with Big Brother – hehe! You know how I love Thursday’s b/c I get off work early too, so that was a plus. Lunch came and I met Jenn for lunch b/c she’s leaving for Canada Saturday. Work flew by and I left at 4:30, came home and saw another box at my door. This time it was our sparklers for our departure when we leave the wedding. Fun Fun!
I got dressed and headed to my parents to play with the puppies and I somehow got my parents to help me stuff those envelopes. We had an assembly line going and we were having a good time with that : ). I put all of the stuff together, my mom had the inner envelopes and my dad was stuffing into the outer envelope. As he was stuffing he would read that name and I would say “I don’t know them” or “that’s a mama” - - it was really fun doing that. Made it go by quick. Now all we have left is the groom’s envelopes. Then I headed home to watch BB, which was really good by the way…Hope I’m getting you hooked on the show ;). The Sparklers 
Wednesday, August 1, 2007Wednesday Blues
Started off rather nice, went to work – did a lot of that! Well, at lunch Brant and I were watching my soap – Days of our lives – ok I was!! But, the door bell rang - we had a box…. It was a wedding gift. A set of our precious china by Lenox. It was soooo pretty. Too bad it’s just sitting in a box right now. So, that led for a good rest of the day. Until I started to not feel good, my sinuses were messed up and I just wanted to go home. I didn’t – I stuck the day out. When I got home I took some meds watched a little TV and was asleep by 9pm. That’s usually not like me. Any ways, that was really all of my Wednesday.
