Adrianna & the trampoline








These are just a few pictures of Adrianna having fun on the trampoline at my best friend Angie's house. I hope you enjoy them.

Where's my car?

So, yesterday I had one of the biggest nightmares of my life happen. My car was stolen right from the front of my car and no it wasn't unlocked and the keys weren't in it. My dad came home and told me that my car was gone which I didn't believe him because he has played that joke on me one too many times. So, I went outside to look and it was gone. I came back in and asked him what he did with it and he said that he swore he did nothing. Then I started freaking out so I called the Coon Rapids police and made a report. I had to wait for an officer to call me back. He called me back shortly after and I gave him all my information and he then proceeded to tell me that there had been 5 car thefts lately in the Coon Rapids area and they were hitting foreign cars like toyota's and honda's. By then I was so sad that my car had been taken right from under my nose. I had been home with Adrianna all day because it is too hot to really do anything outside. My world was becoming a total mess and I felt very unsafe all of the sudden.
Well to my surprise I received another phone call probably only 10 minutes after I got off the phone with the Coon Rapids officer. It was the Brooklyn Park police and they had found my car. I was in utter shock. I was like wow that was really fast. They had found it at a park and ride in Brooklyn Park. I was prepared to hear the worse by that point. He said "I have never seen anything like this but your car is in perfect condition except for the ignition." Perfect condition? How could that be if they had broken in to my car? He said that they had very well known what they were doing and it probably took them a matter of 5 minutes to steal it. I was so happy. I was going to get my baby back.
We had to go and pick it up last night around 9p.m. and I was nervous to see it. When we got there everything was the same except that they had busted out my ignition, programmed all my radio stations to other ones and there was no gas and I had just filled it the night before. I was sad about that but I was happy to see my car again. I now for the time being have to start my car with a screw driver but it could be much worse and I could have no car anymore.
My dad has officially stated that I by far have the worst luck of anyone he has ever met and I have to agree with him. I swear that my life is just in a downward spiral with no sign of going up. But I do have my car back. Yay!

My hair



So, I finally got sick of my hair being long and I cut it past my shoulders but below my chin. I like it a lot but it is taking some getting use to. Adrianna's hair is longer than mommy's hair now.
We have been keeping as busy as we can. Adrianna and I have been visiting with friends and family, going to the beach, the zoo, chuck e. cheese, play places, etc. My dad shift has changed from him leaving at 11a.m. and getting home at 9p.m. to leaving at 9a.m. and him getting home at 7p.m. It has taken us some getting use to that too. He doesn't like this shift much so hopefully another one will open up soon for him.
We are all really excited to go to California for Thanksgiving. This will be Adrianna's first vacation and my first time out of state since I was 5. I am nervous to fly but I am very excited to see everyone.
Well I hope that everyone else is doing good and enjoying the summer months. I also hope that everyone is in good health.
The picture at the top was taken the night before I cut my hair. It for some reason gets really curly when it is wet but isn't when it dries.

The Wedding

So, I was in a wedding on Saturday for my best friend Angie's brother. It was a really small wedding that they held at their home in their back yard by the lake. It was simple, sweet and cute. It was so hot out yesterday that pardon my language but I felt like I was in hell. The dresses that we wore were black but they were summer dresses. We had red, white and blue flowers. It was different but it was definitly their taste. The wedding was perfect for them. They really seemed happy to be married. They have been together for 10 years already and have 3 children and the parents kind of pushed them to get married but it seemed really nice. I hope that I never have to be in a wedding again that is outside when it is that hot out. The was the horrible part. We had fun otherwise. I will post some pictures of the wedding soon.
