We went to Pat & Lorie's for a little grill out as my mom was visiting as well. Watched the 2nd half of the Packer game and played with the kids.
Saturday
Tim went to NIU's Homecoming out in DeKalb with Ellen, Brad and Guido
Aww...That's Nice
Tim & I had a really sweet and reassuring talk on Saturday night after he got home from DeKalb about our future and whatnot.

WEEK #47: 10/5 - 10/11
Social Butterflies
Friday
Billy & Jenn's rehearsal dinner. Rehearsal at church followed by dinner at Home Run Inn pizza. Tim went home with Guido & Billy to spend the night with the guys and get ready for the wedding!
Saturday
Billy & Jenn's wedding! Josh & Tina came too and a handful of Tim's friends. It was a smaller wedding, nice to spend the time hanging out with everyone!
Humor
Billy's nephew was the ring bearer and at some point at the wedding reception he ended up wearing only his tux vest with no shirt underneath!
Aww...That's Nice
Tim gave me a 'Thank You' and 'I Love You' shout-out during his best man speech!
20-Second T.O.
I had some green eyes at the rehearsal dinner when Billy gave a speech and they gave each other blingin' gifts, since Tim & I could not afford to do that when we got married - and still cant' afford it : / But, as you see, he made up for the prior in his best man speech the next day.

Chorizo Carbonara

Sunday
Cubs/Brewers game at Miller Park with Brad & Ellen. Tailgated and had tortilla rollies, cheddarwursts, cheese curds, chips and dip and Miller Lite! The Brewers won and since the Mets lost, this was the game that got the Brewers into the playoffs for the first time in 26yrs!
Saturday
Game Night at Tim's mom's house. We had Lou Malnati's pizza, BLT dip and we made our Pizza Dip!
Humor
The Cubs game started at 9pm on Saturday, so Tim didn't want to miss a second. Game Night started at 5pm and sometimes can last hours. So Tim was very antsy with all the questions that are deliberated for 10min in our trivia game. So being more sensitive to it, it was funny to notice how off topic we'd get during the game, or how when someone DOES answer, the others on the team want to question everything and deliberate for another 10min!
20 Second T.O.
Tim's mom's driveway is dark, narrow and curves and it's very annoying to back out of there, having to navigate around her car also in the driveway. I needed Tim's help to back out and I was concerned about rolling over what I thought was a flower bed - that apparantely is no longer there anyway - but I was saying that to Tim, he had no idea what I was talking about and kept referencing something else. yaddayadda yadda.

Chorizo breakfast burritos TWICE and Tina's tortilla rollies!
Social Butterflies
Saturday
We headed up to Milwaukee Saturday afternoon to hang out with my mom for her birthday. Pat, Lorie and the kids came too and Uncle Bob even stopped by! We grilled out and chit chatted for a long while. Then around 6pm my mom, brother and the kids went to a park and me, Lorie and Pat stayed back. When the others got back we played a really quick game of "The 90's" - Simon's (me, mom & Pat) WON!
Then around 10pm, my mom went to bed and we stopped over by Josh & Tina's
Humor
On our drive up, Tim & I got in a graphic discussion about road rage and drivers/situations in the past that have really pissed us off and how we would imagine torturing those people. Rage is healthy, right? NICE!
Aww..That's Nice
Tim helped set my mom's GPS up for her.

Friday/Saturday
Friday night I went out to Johnny B's in the Rockford area for the Regiment Alumni meeting. Had several drinks with several of the alumni - none that I even marched with! Actually, I think I was the youngest person there by about 10yrs! Felt really cool though, sitting around a campfire with all these Regiment 'top dogs' I'm flattered they even remember my name :)
Saturday was the Band Festival. Had lunch at BW3's and then started setting up at Harlem High School. I manned the "Vote for Your Favorite Band" table! Afterwards, of course, drinks at Backyard Grill!
On Friday - at home - Tim hung out with Anthony at Jersey's as usual when I am gone!
Humor
I was scrambling around trying to get out of the house by 6pm to head to Rockford on Friday night, and of course I'm running behind. I finally get all my stuff to the car, with Tim's help, around 6:30pm. I get in the car and pull out my GPS system, notice that it needs some charging - but look all over my car and can't find the charger that's typically by my car lighter! I call Tim and tell him to start looking in the condo for it and head back inside. All I can think of is that the last time I could remember using it was for Chelsea's wedding that Katie drove to - and I worried that we had left the charger in HER car those few weeks ago. But I did think it was weird that she wouldn't have noticed it in her car yet?
So anyway, neither of us can find it anywhere. Then I see the brand new GPS - the same as mine - that I just purchased my mom for her birthday. I decide to massacre the packaging and burgle THAT charger. AS Tim is performing the massacre, I start to remember that the actual last time we used the charger was for the Cubs game a couple weeks beforehand and that Tim had thrown the GPS & charger into my purse when we parked for the game. I was annoyed by the charger/cord being all up in my business in the purse, so had put it in the hidden zipper pocket. Ironically, it was the same purse I was taking with me that night that I hadn't thought to look for. SO the whole time, I had the charger with me, in my purse without knowing.
I had to tell my mom the story when I gave her the gift to explain why the packaging was "tied" closed ;)
Aww...That's Nice

20-Second T.O.
We had a BIG fight going to the mall on Sunday. We first went to Bed, Bath & Beyond - yes! we had time! And then Tim was saying he needed to go to the mall - but I didn't really have anything *I needed to get there - but we continued on that way anyway (further from home) 'til he says what he needs is shoes and a backpack. The BB&B is NEXT to a Sport Mart which would for certain have both these items - OR going back towards home we pass a Kohl's too. But instead we had driven 10min further away. So I was just questioning his reasoning - like why didn't he just think of it when we were NEXT to somewhere he could have went instead and his answer was a defensive "why does it matter?" SO it just turned into a bickerfest until we got in the mall and went our separate ways until I was done with the few things I had been looking at.
YIKES! And yea, it took some time for both of us to come down off this thing!

Lemon Pepper Chicken
Big 'ol breakfast of eggs, potatoes o'brien and sausages!

Whaaa whaaaa

Ok, I'm really not good at ordering food over the phone. I'm not sure why. A large part of my career has been on the phone and there's no problem there. But since Tim& I have been dating, whenever we order a pizza or anything, I make him do it. He always rolls his eyes at me, not understanding why I "can't" do it. WELL. Now he witnessed it! We were ordering separate dinners from separate places on Friday night, and I was ordering from a Thai place for the first time. They pick up and I say "Hi!" somewhat over-enthusiastically...and Tim, sitting next to me, busts out laughing at me! SO then I start shaking in laughter while choking on the words "I'd like to place an order for delivery" to which the asian lady on the phone responds in a very heavy accent - "Heeeelllooo?? are you taaalking??" So I have to get up off the couch and SPRINT to the bedroom and close the door so I can gather my breath and continue ordering!
SO now, I believe, I will never have to order anything ever again!
Aww...That's Nice
I really wanted to make a nice big breakfast on Saturday, but it was super rainy out so didn't feel like going out to get eggs - so Tim did! yaya!
