Our Wendy.. (sigh, heavy heart)

Our 'Awesome!' Wendy decided it was time for her to take a dream and turn it into reality... so June 15th was her last day at work. She is moving to New York to start her own business!

So, everyone who loves and knows Wendy chipped in to get her a Kohl's Gift Card... we ended up with a total of $170.25.. yeah, I know.. .25??? What can I say.. we're quirky like that.

Well, last weekend we all (and I mean ALL, close to 30 of us) went out to say goodbye to our Wendy. All of us headed over to Crazy Buffet to indulge in wonderful Sushi, stiff drinks and great fellowship.

Afterwards some headed over to Planet 9 Ball, a local pool hall to shoot a few rounds... more wacky drinking done there as well ;-)

Today Carisa, Jamie and I (minus Amy.. WE MISSED YOU!!) met Wendy at Ruby Tuesday's for lunch and then went to Kohl's to supervise the purchases that would be made. This was the one rule - the entire Gift Card was to be spent only on things for our Wendy!!

The afternoon was a riot, we laughed so hard (like that's new) and tried on funny hats and goofy shoes and of course CLOTHES!! Wendy ended up spending all but somewhere around $46.00, this will be spent on a Winter Coat... btw Wendy...we will need verification of this. :)

WE LOVE YOU WENDY!!! and WE ALREADY MISS YOU!!!


***Props to Carisa for being a trooper and to Jamie for trying on that wonderful sundress (should have got a pic of that one ;-)

Our Not so Furry Friends.. Unless you count Frogs Hair

Here is a really cute picture of our Cuban Tree Frogs while they were sleeping up inside our patio umbrella. These are some of the ones that have been living with us since we moved in 2 years ago. Yes they are cute.. but boy do they ever leave a mess!
