Chad's Graduation Party


We had plenty of food!


The boys played "extreme croquet!"


We were set up outside.


There were lawn games...


And Emmett was being especially cute!


He tried to play too!





This was my favorite picture of the day! You can't see it but he had a fruit dip mustache and kept saying "CHEESE!!!" any time the camera came out!


Cupcakes!


Emmett spent the whole day eating! 

We all had a great day together!

Chad's Graduation


Chad graduated magna cum laude!


We're all so proud!

Celebrating 1 Year!

We went out to dinner and ate our wedding cake top...

Which actually wasn't too bad!

I guess the secret is to put it in a Tupperware and vacuum seal it!

Look at those gorgeous roses!

Not How I Wanted to Start Off My Day...

I had just gotten up and made my coffee.

I was in a pretty good mood.

Chad yelled from the den, "What's that smell?!"

And by that point I was smelling it too.

So I went on the hunt to find it, and THIS is what I found:

(Brace yourselves, its NASTY!)


See that Black cylinder thing?

That's our garbage disposal. 

That we knew was cracked and I thought has been fixed by maintinence.

Ugh. I was wrong.

The disposal now has a steady drip any time the water was turned on. 

Which I never noticed, because usually there is a bin of cleaners there.

That bin is outside soaking in bleach, in case you were wondering.

I put a large layer of baking soda down (Both to use as a gentle scrubber and to absorb odor) and scrubbed.


This was the end result. 

I'm no genius, but I'm guessing this cabinet, in all its wet, peely, molded-ness, is going to have to be replaced.

Gross.



This is what it looked like after my attempt at cleaning.

Oh, and I should mention this whole fiasco happened before I had even taken two sips of the coffee that started this whole thing.

Go ahead, ask me if I'm a happy camper.

I dare you.

It's No Longer "Mine"!

Today was my last day of work ever at The Coffee Mine!

Cue hallelujah chorus.

Ill miss my coworkers though. That was the sad part of the day!

My very favorite customer even brought his "flapjack Friday" on the road to our back room. In honor of my last day.

Ill most definitely miss my customers too!

Here are a few pictures from the day!
