Save Big Money at Menards

 So here's a few things that are kinda random and there's not much to say about them. The polar bear is at the year round Christmas store in Frankenmuth. We were picking out our very own nutcracker. I love nutcrackers so much and hope to collect more over the years!

 Our christmas break was even more interesting with our non human guests. These pugs belong to a friend from church. Sadly Sophie didn't think much of them and I think they felt the same.

"Save big money at Menards" So one night we were bored and happened to meander over to Menards which probably only Steve's family know about. So for every one else its a store very similar to Home Depot. They have this cute jingle from forever ago that they play every once in awhile. We found this awesome giant camp chair. I would love to own such an awesome chair if it wasn't $50. (can you believe that?) We also found some Sprecher Root Beer and that definitely made the night even more awesome!

Almost Dunnit

 So because of the fact that nothing too exciting has happened and that I've been really lazy about blogging and whatever else I use as an excuse, I haven't blogged and I guess its time to do a little catch up. But strangely the events in our life are half things we almost did so here goes.

•  We almost decided to move, but then we realized how expensive not to mention exhausting it is and the  one house we tried to look at was not available when we went.
• We almost didn't buy a second car, but then I started work and Steve had to go to St. Charles for his rotation. So we are now the proud owners of another Jeep Cherokee and this one is in much better shape!
• I almost got Steve to go to Frankenmuth for their Easter celebration, but I ended up going with my friend Geno. He sure missed out even the Easter Bunny showed.

 And now I'm having a hard time thinking of almosts. So here are the cold hard facts of our life (though how they are cold and hard I'll never know). So I am now a full time employee of the Mosquito Control here in Saginaw and I love working. I don't know what'll I'll do with myself if I can't find a job next fall when this ends. I am the Educational Assistant. Margaret and I go to the schools and teach kids about mosquito prevention. I feel like such a mosquito nerd. As soon as schools out we have a few events to do like the zoo. Then we're on to the office work. I see lots and lots of paper folding in my future. We have to prepare all the booklets se gives to the kids for next year. Good times!


Steve is in his Family Medicine rotation and he's decided he likes that area too. So that adds to our growing list of possibilities. I've lost count now, but at least he's not in the predicament of not liking any area he's tried. We'll see what he ends up with. In July he has a Cardiology rotation and August is when he ships off to NY. Not too excited about that cause I don't get to go but thats life. Us spouses gotta stay firmly rooted somewhere while they roam that planet and hopefully graduate someday.
