Good times

I'm really late with this update, so I apologize. But I'm starting to operate under the, "better late than never," philosophy with my blog.

Last Wednesday, Pat and I went out to dinner at our favorite Angelo's pizza in Lakewood. I don't miss the annoying cops and frivolous traffic violations in Lakewood, but boy do I miss Angelo's pizza. It was our first time eating outside on their patio, too. Good eats. Good company. After dinner, we went to the Rock Hall to see the Fitz and the Tantrums perform live, outside as a part of the FREE Summer in the City Concert Series. It was a beautiful night in Cleveland and this group was just as good live as they are on their CD's. If you haven't heard the Fitz, listen to one of my favorite songs here. After the concert we went out for ice cream. Have I mentioned I LOVE summer?

Last weekend we went camping with my college roommies (minus Emily Tucker-Halm - WE MISSED YOU) at my dad and Jill's house. Yes, you read that right. I did say camping at my parents' house. Don't judge. They have 13 acres (even though we camp within a stone's throw away from their house). But it's free, we can be as loud as we want without worrying about disturbing other campers and as long as you're sleeping in a tent, I still think it's camping. Are you with me? The weekend was quite eventful. Within twenty minutes of being there Grady got kicked by the donkeys. I cried. He was fine and he learned a valuable lesson. We played games, went canoeing, made campfire meals and had a great time. Love my old roommies and wish we all saw each other more often.



Last night we met up with the Duffys and the Detwilers at Tommy's restaurant in North Ridgeville. The pizzas were DELICIOUS and they even had an entire page of gluten-free food for Julie-D! I can honestly say, when it comes to buffalo chicken pizza, I've never had better! And they love Jesus. (see sign below).

'Make no mistake Jesus Christ is Lord." Amen.
After dinner we went over to the Detwilers for some beers, Euchre and some interesting conversation about the Casey Anthony trial, the judicial system and politics. Don't worry, no beers were thrown or mean words exchanged. It was a fun night!

Julie-D and me!
Today we are off to Youngstown for the 1st Annual Stitle Pigroast where Pat can reconnect with some of his college roommates. It should be a good time, if I can avoid seeing the dead pig spinning around on a stick. I also found out yesterday that at the last pig roast he attended, Pat actually ate some of the brain matter of the pig. He didn't say whether he did it as a result of losing a bet or just because he was highly intoxicated. Either way, I threw up in my mouth when he told me. Gross.

First Annual Ugly Sweater Party

Ugly Sweater Party from Emily Robinson on Vimeo . Well, our First Annual Ugly Sweater Party was a huge success! We had SO much fun, as you'll see from the video. I also had so much fun making this video! I got a new flip cam for Christmas so it was fun to actually make a project with the videos! For those who attended the party, you will definitely enjoy all 14 minutes of this video (it is worth every second). I was laughing so hard while I was making it! For those who didn't attend the party, I can see how the video might get old or seem really long. Either way, if you watch it, let me know what you think!

Sandy and the 1000 Paper Cranes: About The Project

I recently joined the group 20 Something Bloggers and stumbled across the blog below where Sandy is creating and releasing 1000 paper cranes with a different inspirational word on each one. She leaves them for others to find and to hopefully spread a bit of positive energy and "world peace" which is what cranes symbolize. She came up with this idea after reading "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes" by Elanor Coerr which is a book about a girl from Hiroshima who was diagnosed with cancer and wanted to fold 1000 cranes before she died but unfortunately only made it to 644. I was inspired when reading her blog and thought you might be interested in learning about it too! Sandy and the 1000 Paper Cranes: About The Project : "So why 1000 paper cranes? What started this all? After reading the true story of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Elanor Coerr, I was..."

A letter to my first born child

Dear son, I can't stop thinking about the fact that in just a few days, your little sister, my baby, will be the exact same age you were when she was born. And the more I think about the transition we all went through two years ago, the more I realize I owe you an apology. You see, now that your sister is the same age you were when she was born, I realize I am treating her differently than I treated you at this age. For example, I stll pick her up and carry her around like a baby. I am calm and patient with her when she doesn't listen or when she throws a tantrum, reminding myself that she is "only two" after all. I did the same for you. Until the day she was born. And then something changed. It wasn't meditated or intentional but I instantly started treating you differently. When I went into the hospital to have your little sister, you were still a little baby in my mind, only two years old. But when I came home from the hospital with your little sister...
