The other week I went home and visited my family, including all my ADORABLE nieces and nephews, here's the most recent pics of them:

Isaiah (3) and Eleanor (2) reading books :D

...aaaand...

....drum roll please...

...the newest addition to the family...

...my FIFTH nephew/niece...

 Okay, stop a sec - isn't there a gender neutral term for this? Like there is for siblings and parents? ... someone should invent one...

 ...ANYWAY....

Here he is!

Jackson Henry Matthew! Just sittin' there looking adorable :O)

Other than that...

Adam and I went to a Tiger's game on Sunday afternoon with his family and the two of us went back Monday afternoon to see Verlander pitch!

True, the Tigers lost both games, but we had fun regardless!

After Monday's game, we had dinner at Fuddruckers - BEST burger I've ever had,

then we saw Adjustment Bureau - I highly recommend it, excellent movie,

and then we grabbed some Cold Stone before heading back home.

QUITE the awesome day, I must say :O)

Other than that...

I had my job interview at Cabela's yesterday, and once my drug test/background check come back, I'll have a job! I should be hearing back from them in about 2 weeks.

Other than that...

This weekend I am going to see a musical at Spring Arbor that was written and directed by two of the most amazing girls I have every known/lived with, but more about that next week, after I actually see it :O)

THE END!

finally...

Love to all!
