It was Professor Plum in the Conservatory with the Rope!

Zach and I have had the privilege of helping out with youth group activities. We got to play a part in the super suspicious, quirky quagmire, murder mystery Clue evening. You should be able to figure out our roles based on the pictures (although Zach thought he looked more like an "unkempt Dutchman" than his character). :-) In case you didn't crack the case, we were Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlet. What a pair of sly, scheming sleuths.

Oh No...Not Again!

I couldn't believe it! The day after our first dish broke, another one did! I was pulling a glass out of the cupboard, had butterfingers, and is slipped. Whoops! I hope this doesn't turn into a daily happening.

Endings and New Beginnings

Well, we knew this day would come. Today our first wedding gift broke. I opened our dishwasher and inside I found a glass that will never see another sip. Zach said a few words, and after six great months, it found it's final resting place, the trashcan.
But, on the positive side I am thrilled with a purchase we recently made! Ever since I moved out of my parents' house I have had a second hand vacuum. It worked, but didn't really suck. I always had to crawl around after I vacuumed to pick up all the left-overs the vacuum missed.
I am someone who greatly appreciates those nice vacuum streaks a powerful vacuum makes, and I hoped that one day I could make my own. Well...my day finally came!! Our old vacuum pooped out so we drove to Buffalo and bought a (drum roll please....) new vacuum! We happily welcomed our new friend, Sir Sucks a Lot, into our home.
Look at those awesome streaks! Go Sir Sucks a Lot!

We love him :-)
