happy monday.

well, it's happy so far- velzy finally fell back asleep after luke left and i have about 40 min till she wakes up again. i should be packing, but i am not. it seems like whenever anyone has too much to do or really should be doing other things they turn their attention to their bolg for a nice little distraction. its always nicer to sit and relax than do the things we need to. this weekend was pretty mellow around here, we had a little "dog party" on friday night bbq'ed (is that a word?) with some friends. then one of lukes friends from work was deploying for 2 months and so he let us take his truck for him while he is gone! so i have our truck for 2 months! that will be really helpful, especially for moving.
saturday we did some shopping at target and costco- exciting saturday activities, huh? it is safe to say that without a beach we are lost. we also did some cleaning of the apartment- and can i just tell you how amazing the mr. clean eraser things are? well, actually i was using the target brand, but they are wonderful. we have some pretty scuffed up walls, since our landlord didn't take the time to repaint before we moved in, and those little eraser miracles took almost all of them off. i have to go buy more cuase they disinagrate in your hands after a lot of use, but they are miracle workers and will hopefully ensure the return of our hefty deposit.
sunday we hungout, velzy and i spent a large amount of time outside of our apartment walking up and down the stairs, her new favorite thing to do. So I talked to lauren while we went up and down, up and down. (and lauren has no internet- hence the never posting on her blog.)
ok, this is really funny. every morning at about this time i hear someone singing really loud "when the stars go blue" by ryan adams (really good song that will be, without a doubt, stuck in my head for the rest of the day). anyways, its this girl, walking on the sidewalk across the street on her way to the bus stop. my window is closed and there are gardners outside, and i can still hear her. it makes my morning every week day.
well, i am trying to add a pic to this, but it's just not working, blogger sort of sucks sometimes when i try to add pics... but its a pic of velzy walking, and its cute. she is getting so brave, yesterday luke and she were by the couch and she just took off, all the sudden there was this little tug on my leg and she was in the kitchen, just walking all over the place. it is so weird, i can't get over it. she did eat it really bad at church yeaterday and had a big bump on her eye, she looks like a boxer.
guess i will try again later to add some pics. finally got it to work!
