The bug is going around

So Adam and i have been sick pretty much since Sunday. We went golfing at Rush Creek on Saturday, and it was freezing out (according to me). I think that was the kicker. We played until it was dark out, literally. We couldn't see where our balls landed on the 18th hole. I think we lost close to 10 balls. Sunday, either of us didn't feel to hot. Adam is home today fighting the nose and throat bug. I am going to go home and make some chicken noodle soup for him semi homemade style :)

We had the Celine Dion concert to go to tomorrow, which i found out today is postponed until Feb 5th! BUMMER. WE bought the tickets last year, and i have been WAITING FOREVER to see her, and it was only a day away. Then all my dreams shattered when i read it was postponed. Well i guess it will give us something WONDERFUL to look forward to in February.

I am taking the day off on Friday, originally it was just to relax after the concert, but now it is just going to be a day of R & R for myself. I will probably paint my nails, take a bath, watch the regular girl shows (Ellen, Oprah, Rachel Ray, and Judge Judy), do a bit of cleaning, and get ready for Halloween. I think we are going to go to our friend JT's house, who we went golfing with at Rush Creek last Saturday. Did i mention JT works there and he got Adam, Jim, and myself out with carts golfing for FREE!!! He is having a Halloween costume party, and i have Adam and my costumes all ready. Adam is going to be Sergeant "Dick Amazing":

And i am going to be the female version of Freddy Krueger. I bought the Glove, and then found a cute sweater dress at Forever 21 and am going to wear that with a Fedora, and fish nets i bought there and tall black suede cuff boots. I think it was a pretty creative idea...

I think that the party should be a lot of fun...we have not been to a Halloween party in two years, so it will be fun to get out and celebrate! Besides that our weekend will be pretty open, we may head to my godfathers to help cut wood on Saturday, depending on how we feel, and then i think we are going to try to go to the apple orchard on Sunday. They have Dog Days there, so we have to bring Caeda and Chloe out before it is too cold for their liking.

Spring Cleaning...More Like Fall Cleaning

So not much has been going on at the Heeren home. We have been doing a lot of Fall cleaning this week. We have two Huge trees in our front yard and everyday Adam is outside with the blower blowing the leaves and then mowing over them. Everyday he comes home from work to find the same amount of leaves he mowed over the day before on the ground. Frustrating trees!

It seems like just when you get everything clean, it is dirty again, whether it be dishes, laundry, dusting, vacuuming...the works, like a revolving door. I think some heavy cleaning was in need for our house before the snow flies.

Our weekends have managed to be very busy the past few weeks.

Two weekends ago, we went golfing on the 11th with Joey and JT, and then went to Chucks for Seth's going away party. He moved to FL to work for the Jaguars. Sunday we went over to Angel and Joe's and ate lunch, and played some lawn games. It was great to see them! Our dogs also loved it because they have a HUGE yard and the dogs could run free. They were absolutely exhausted when we got home.

Last weekend we went out to an early dinner on Friday, and then hung out with our neighbors at night, and had a bonfire. I did a bit of Shopping on Saturday during the day, (Got 2 cute pairs of shoes for 50% off!) Saturday night we went to the W Hotel in the Foshay tower for Alison and Aadam's birthday parties. It was a lot of fun, and great to see the Bethel folks! Sunday we didn't do much but relax with the dogs.

This week we are going to do a bunch of cleaning, and we are having my grandma and grandpa, and parents over on Friday for a bit, as my grandparents have not seen our house yet. (This is what sprung the "Fall Cleaning.") Besides that this weekend we surprisingly don't' have any plans! It will be nice to have one weekend where we can make plans day by day.


Oh, my mom sent some new pictures of the dogs. I know...what do you do when you don't have kids...post pictures of the doggies, which are sort of like our kids????

Not sure what Caeda is eating, but Chloe is DEFINITELY rolling in worms

Caeda is apparently guarding my moms flip flop

They both look pretty exhausted!

What can i say...i love our poopies!

I Colored My Hair :)

Yep, i did it, i colored my hair. I don't think i have colored my hair since college...maybe once since college, but i had a coupon, and went to get it colored and cut, well...trimmed. It is dark, and i LOVE IT! I got my hair cut, colored and my eyebrows waxed all for the price of....$40.50. Can you believe it! I don't have a picture yet of it, but maybe i will take a few tonight and post them along with the shelves Adam hung... YEAH FOR ME!

Chores - Gotta love them!

So i don't have that much to update as far as what has been going on with Adam and I. We have been trying to get some things done around the house before we hibernate. Our watersoftner was leaking about a week and a half ago, and being that it was 12 years old we decided to purchase a new one. Adam spent last Friday with our neighbor in the basement installing it, and i have to say they did a great job. We also bought curtain hooks for our curtains in the living room and kitchen. I think i obtained that idea because i am already getting depressed about how dark it is in both the morning and the evening, and that holding the curtains back would at least let a little more light in. (not likely) We bought some great new curtains for our bathroom. We had the pull down curtains before, where if they didn't latch right they would pull right up and coil quickly, and the bottom half of the window was the old school saloon looking panels that opened. (UGLY). Finally, we bought some really great shelves for our living room on the wall where the TV is mounted. Adam got 3 of the 4 hung last night while he watched the Vikings game. I'll try to take pictures and post them soon!


We had our good friends Megan and Steve's wedding last Saturday in St Paul. It was a beautiful wedding, and we had a great time. My favorite part besides dancing at the reception was watching Megan walk down the isle. The way she looked at Steve and vice versa and how the light from the stained glass window behind her reflected off of the back of her head and surrounded her was amazing.


Sorry if this offends anyone, but i have to mention the funny shirt i bought Adam yesterday.

(Now you know where "I" stand...)
I bought him another but it is on back order...don't tell him but i here it is:
Besides that things are relatively normal around the casa. Work has been great, staying busy through this financially trying time. Looking forward to the upcoming holidays (besides the snow, this is my favorite time of year).

I LOVE YOU ALI AND LUKE!!!!!!

Jesus, bring Your healing touch to Ali and Luke who have suffered the loss of their unborn child through a miscarriage. We believe that life begins at conception and that this baby is now with You. Still, the pain of loss is great. We loved this child from the moment we knew of the baby's existence.
We know this unborn child will never experience the joys of life on this earth. Yet our hope in eternal life remains firm. Help us to remember this child in prayer often, whom we will one day meet in heaven with You. The baby's parents may give birth to other children, yet this unborn child will always be special to them. Please dry their tears and strengthen their faith in You, who are the source of all goodness and love. Amen.

I did WHAT last night

So i fell asleep around 10 pm last night, and woke up around 2:30 am and could NOT fall back asleep for the life of me! After far too long tossing and turning in bed with a million thoughts running through my head i decided to turn on the TV. I watched the movie "Stranger than Fiction" and realized at 4:30 am i could fall back asleep. I got to work today and Adam called and asked if i remembered talking in my sleep last night. "I what??" I have NEVER talked in my sleep according to Adam, so it was quite a strange experience for him. I always fall asleep before Adam. I think he enjoys having control of the remote after i fall asleep, so he is usually awake until around midnight. At around 11 pm he came back into our bedroom where i had been sleeping the past hour. I must have subconsciously heard him moving around because apparently i started talking to him. Here is how the conversation went, again according to Adam:

(Talking with my eyes closed)
Ana: Adam do you have the Job Description.
Adam: For what?
Ana: For Caeda and Chloe (Yes, those are our dogs)
Adam: What are you talking about, what job description?
Ana: For the Analyst position?
Adam: (By this point he said he was laughing hysterically!) What are you talking about?
Ana: I need to get the job description!
Adam: You are going to hire our dogs?
Ana: Yes, the Analyst position for Caeda and Chloe
(My eyes opened)
Ana: Adam, this isn't funny stop laughing at me, i am serious would you answer me?
Adam: (Laughing even harder) I have no idea what you are talking about are you awake?
Ana: Yes, i am awake and you are not answering me.
Adam: (Still laughing) Are you serous?
Ana: You never listen i need the job description for Caeda and Chloe

Adam keeps laughing, and i guess i got so annoyed and laid down and went back to sleep!
CRAZY! What was i thinking? Apparently work has gotten to me so much that i even want to hire my dogs!

This weekend we are going to be busy bee's! Tonight we are going to Club Jager to celebrate Aadam Peters returning from Seattle. Should be somewhat of a college reunion. Tomorrow we have the Bethel Homecoming game at 1. Adam is going to golf with our neighbor before hand. Saturday night we are going to go out to eat with Ali and Luke. Sunday we have Lily's birthday party at the Heerens, should be fun watching her open all of her gifts!
