Day 127 - May 7, 2010

Tonight, we went to the Yankees vs. Red Sox game at Fenway Park. Now I have to admit, I'm a sports fan, but I really don't find baseball all that exciting. I was extremely surprised at how small Fenway really is. I looked up the capacity and it only holds about 37,000 people! And not to offend any Red Sox fans, but the Green Monster isn't very intimidating - at least from the seats we sat in. But regardless of all that, it was still a fun night. The weather couldn't have been nicer, and there was a bit of action late in the game. Even though I'm not a baseball fan, It's still cool to be able to say I've seen the biggest rivalry in baseball that there is!

Until Tomorrow,

In case I haven't given the history of the bunnies, here's a quick background. Mac and Cheese are our two white bunnies with tannish splotches on them. We got them about 6 years ago as little babies, and they were litter mates. I couldn't decided on which one to keep when my friend Carolyn brought them over, so we kept both. Besides, the names wouldn't work without two! Anyways a few years later, a co-worker of mine told me of a little black bunny who had been left behind in a vacated apartment. Her son in law had found him 4 days later without food or water. We decided to bring him home and name him Pickles, because we couldn't think of a name that also went well with Mac and Cheese (foodwise...) and I really liked the name Pickles. Getting them all accustomed to each other was rough, but eventually Mac and Pickles worked it out. Cheese is stubborn however, so we are unable to let both Pickles and Cheese out at the same time. You can see Cheese in this picture trying to get to Pickles. Funny thing is, Pickles wants to be friends with Cheese so badly, but Cheese is a little ol' grouch. Regardless, Pickles likes to hang out with Cheese when he's out and about, even if Cheese tries to bite him all the time. They are all too cute - I just wish we could get Cheese and Pickles to get along! Oh well...

Until Tomorrow,

Day 125 - May 5, 2010

Our landscaping at our house leaves much to be desired. I am definitely not much of a green thumb, and so our yard isn't all that fantastic looking. Every spring though, we have this azalea bush right by our front door that is just amazing. It's pretty large, and the flowers are everywhere! The bush is actually pure white from all the flowers for a couple weeks while they are in bloom. The logo on my blog up above is a photo I took a couple years ago of this same bush, but this gives you a better idea at the abundance of flowers it has. I can't take any credit though - the bush was here when we moved in! Thank goodness for that! :)

Until Tomorrow,

Day 124 - May 4, 2010

Boy do we go through a lot of this stuff in our household! We order timothy hay all the time for the bunnies. I feel bad for the UPS guy who has to deliver the 40 pound boxes to our door step. Bunnies have to have a source of food constantly to keep their digestive systems healthy. They have to have hay available at all times, and so we practically clear out the Midwest (or wherever this hay is grown) on a monthly basis with all the hay we order. Be forewarned! If you're allergic to hay...probably not best to be coming over to our neck of the woods!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 123 - May 3, 2010

I am amazed at how fast these things grow - Eric literally mowed the lawn two days ago, and yet here is this dandelion that has grown, ready to spread it's seeds around my already weed-like lawn. Ok, so I say my lawn is weed-like because the stuff grows so fast that you can see it growing back behind Eric as he mows! It's just insane! So many people tell me that our lawn is awesome, but I'd much rather have grass that took forever to grow back. I guess the grass is always greener...or shorter in my case...on the other side. Anyways, now that we have this puffy dandelion thingy - I guess I have to make a wish! You guys make one too! Feel like sharing? I promise, it won't affect the outcome of what you wished for...

Until Tomorrow,

Day 122 - May 2, 2010

Six years ago today, Eric and I were married in the presence of our friends and family. Six years have flown by faster than I could ever imagine! When we met, we were both still in college, and by chance, working at the same summer job. He was involved in a summer show, as was I - even if it was only to pull the curtains! We decided to go see each other's shows. After he came to watch me pull the curtain in my show, we went out to dinner and he accidentally flung the menu at my head. Apparently, it didn't phase me, or it knocked some sense into me, because nearly 10 years after that first date, we are celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary. It hasn't been easy - marriage is definitely something you have to work at everyday. There will be ups and downs, fights and fun, but in the end, the work is worth it. I wouldn't change a single day! I love you Eric! Thank you for 6 wonderful years of marriage :)

Until Tomorrow,

Day 121 - May 1, 2010

A close friend of my close friends, and a fellow Berlin High graduate, lost both of her parents today in a tragic accident. I don't have much to say other than be sure to tell those you love that you love them daily. Enjoy every moment you have, because you never know when time will run out. Be sure to have no regrets, and never part in anger. Thoughts and prayers are with her and her family as they deal with this tragic loss.

Until Tomorrow,

Athina
