If you haven’t seen this movie yet, drop whatever you are doing and get to a movie theatre. It is the funniest, most entertainingly real movie I have seen in a very long time. Loved it.

Since we bought our bikes over two years ago, we’ve been meaning to take a ride around a state park near the airport. After huffing and puffing up the third hill, I was about ready to call it day and head back. I knew I was in for it when we coasted downhill for the first mile or so (means uphill on the way back!) but Eric encouraged me keep going and I wound up having a great (yet tiring) time on the 7.5 mile ride. I can’t wait to go back after I buy some better biking shorts. Heh.

This photo doesn’t really need a caption, does it?

This is Riesling fighting sleep and clearly losing the battle.

Five years ago today I put on a poofy dress, got all dolled up, and promised my best friend that I’d love him for the rest of my life.

The playbill-style wedding programs.

Walking into the reception (note my orange shoes!)

Happy anniversary sweetie! :)

This photo features an unknown beetle on Solidago canadensis “Cloth of Gold”, a favorite of the grasshoppers in our front yard.

edited (by leandra) to add: The beetle is a Pennsylvania Leather-wing! :)

Eric is worried that he has been the only one posting here for the last two weeks, so I’d like to take this opportunity to say “hello again!” I am finally over my head cold and been catching up on all the sleepless nights I’ve experienced since early August.

A big thank you to everyone for all the cards and kind words you have shared with me over the last few weeks. I know the loss will become easier to bear over time but until then I truly appreciate the emotional support.

We just posted our first video of Riesling at Youtube- in this one she is playing by herself with her new PGA Tiger stuffed animal (thanks Lauren). Enjoy!
