A New Toy

We purchased our first "toy" for the house up at Catawba - a golf cart! I absolutely love it, Steve surprised me with it. The kids love it too. It comes with seatbelts so we can safely strap them in. We will be able to drive the cart over on Miller Ferry and tool around PIB. Steve wanted a jet ski, but he caved and got the golf cart instead. He's definitely been on my good side the past week.

I jumped the gun a bit with my last post. My last day at NCC will now be August 6. Just an FYI.

This weekend we will be going to visit our friends in Chicago and go to a Cubs game, the kids will be staying behind with their grandparents. On Sunday we're having a cookout to celebrate Father's Day and Meg's birthday. Should be a fun weekend.

Here's a Yes or No game that I was on an e-mail chain for. I love this stuff. Since I have very little new and exciting going on this past week, I figured it'd be a great way to occupy blog space. Please feel free to follow up with me on any questions you'd like further info on.
