What's Up Doc?

So things have been pretty quiet for me and the Blake. It seems my family is doing all the wild and crazy stuff- babies, reunions, bra-shopping, etc. Jealousness! ;D
I have been working out about every other day and am very happy with the results so far. I'm doing the 30 Day Shred workout by Jillian Michaels. She is an odd duck but her workouts are AMAZING! If Blake is home when I want to workout I lock him in our bedroom and make him wear headphones while I grunt and groan through my workouts. We went to the store the other day and McBlakerson wanted a big package of those Little Debbie cupcakes. Oy, delicious! So I told him he could get them as long as he hid them from me. So when we got home I stood outside while he hid them. He told me that if he found any missing I would have to run three laps around the apartment complex per cupcake. Our relationship is weird.
We saw Harry Potter the other day. Both of us were completely entranced! I must say it was definitely one of the best movies they've done! Although #5 with Umbridge having Filch as her lackey cracks me up every time!
Blake is changing his work schedule coming up next week. He's going to be on the night shift 12-8am. It'll be interesting for us to transition. I'll be so glad when his training is done with and he can settle down and not have these crazy schedules. He is pretty dang amazing though. He does all this stressful stuff but never shows just how difficult it must be-he just keeps being his sweet self. I admit I'm a little Blakie-whipped haha.
So I've been getting my hair bleached. I think I blew Braydon's mind when I sent him a picture of my latest hair color. Perhaps he feels threatened not being the only blonde sibling anymore... Anyways, I've still got a bit more to go but this is where I am. Excuse the weird facial expression.
Blake has been so sweet to come with me to my hair appointments. We were there last time and I was sent to the back to sit under a dryer. I texted Blake to come back and keep me company. Waited. No Blake. I finally asked why he wasn't with me and he said he was scared to walk through all the salon people to try and find me. Haha, what a cutie. He got over his fear though when I mentioned perhaps we should get a pizza after my hair appointment.
So that's pretty much it. Hopefully after this weekend there will be some interesting stuff to share. I'm just hoping that since I posted a blog I might get some babie pictures in my email shortly... *hint hint* =D

Our 4th of July Weekend!

Blake had a four day weekend for the 4th this month. Score! =D
We went to Frontier City (Oklahoma's Lagoon) on Friday morning. It was amazingly empty that day. The longest we had to wait for a ride was the ride going around twice.

Excuse the crazy hair- we went on a wet ride first to keep us cool in the humid hotness.



We took lotsa pics on the roller coasters and on the merry-go-round. They make me laugh every time I look at Blake's faces. =D




And finally we went and got our caricatures drawn. Don't we look beautiful? I think the guy totally nailed Blake. I hope he was a little off with mine! =D


Also this weekend we went shopping. Crazy, huh? As I was getting my hair done, Blake went to Best Buy and looked for birthday present ideas. He gave me some lame ideas that he had for himself so I mentioned that I was surprised he hadn't asked for a TV. Immediately he went crazy picking out his perfect telemundo. He spent that entire evening researching and comparing TVs. I asked him if he would give up pop for a TV and he wholeheartedly agreed. So that night he dreamed about giving up pop for his perfect TV! What a crazy Blake! When we were searching for a couch we saw the model of the TV he had picked out for several hundred dollars cheaper than he had found online. So we went home with a 46 inch LED. Blake couldn't be happier.

Our couch got here today. It's lovingly called "Our ugly, cute couch" because... well, it's ugly as sin but so fabulously comfortable! The poor delivery men were drenched in sweat when the finally got the couch up the stairs. I literally kept stepping in pools of wet carpet from the guy's sweat. Gross!

And the middle section flips open to reveal cupholders, two reading lights, and switches to turn on a massage feature. And the bottom part of the middle section pulls out into a drawer.

Then yesterday we relaxed and watched Justified on Blake's new TV. Then we went out to grocery shop around 11 and ended up parking and watching fireworks on the trunk of our car. It was a great weekend. I loved spending four nonstop days with Blake and eating lots of junk food, Jersey Mikes, and Papa Johns.
