Royally Obsessed

I'll be honest, I am looking forward to the royal wedding tomorrow. (I wouldn't call myself royally obsessed... that title is saved for the guy in the link below.) Maybe it's because I am planning my own wedding. Maybe because Kate reminds me of one of my sorority members. Or maybe it's because the couple is young and seems in love. Whatever, the reason, I will be watching the wedding. Oh and, it helps that I also work at 4am and it's my job to watch the news at that hour. You better believe that our crew is planning a party for too. I am baking some royal cookies as I type this blog (pictures to come). Although, I must say, even if there wasn't a wedding, we would still be grilling out and celebrating the weekend and the end to this non-stop rain!

Back to the wedding... I am looking forward to seeing what Kate wears, how she does her hair, etc. etc. I do, however, think that coverage/hoopla has been pretty ridiculous. It is unbelievable what companies will come up with to sell, what people will do... This guy takes the cake!

Happy Easter

I hope everyone has a wonderful and dry day with their families!

It's Hard to Believe...

... that the Reds are 5-0 and that Drew and I have had Lexi for a year now. Not to mention, how much she has grown over the last year. Yes, this is Lexi on Opening day last year - she's a Reds fan too. My younger brother took the picture on his phone. He watched her that day so Drew and I could attend the game. This year, Drew obviously couldn't make it, but that didn't stop him and some other soldiers from joining in on the fun, with ice-cream in their Reds hats.

The Reds are on a roll this year after their big Opening Day comeback. I like to believe it was the power of my pants, but I suppose it could be the team's talent. We had a lot of fun again this year. It was a bit chilly, but luckily it didn't rain. A big group of us met at one of the restaurant bars downtown before heading to the game. Even Traveling Drew joined in on the fun.
