RV Adventures

Chad's parents have taken the week off for an extended RV vacation and asked us to meet them at Ozark Outdoors for some floating, fishing, and relaxation.

Unfortunately, the weather had other ideas...

As we were driving down to the campground there was tornado warnings north of us.

We got to the campground and checked in while there were warnings of storms coming our way.

We got all set up and my former boy scout hubby made a one match fire!


They also grilled for us on a small camping grill.


And we made s'mores!
   

It was a wet weekend, so there was no floating on the river, but it was GREAT to relax and get away from unpacking!

Cards Game

I made my yearly trek to Busch Stadium last night with Chad, Brandon, and the other Amy!

Despite the rain and the loss, it was a good time!




Moving!


We ended up with a 27 foot moving truck! 

The move went smoothly except for seeing this in our fridge when it got here:

Yeah, due to the smell and problems, we got a new fridge after a week!

Finished apartment photos to follow...

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.
