Halloween 2012

This year for Halloween Pogo was a giraffe. His favorite toy is a tiny yellow giraffe named "Jeffers", so when I saw the giraffe costume at Petco I had to buy it. It was a little big for him and he didn't like to wear the hood. When he had the hood on he couldn't see forward only down. We were in the kitchen and he had the hood down and ended up walking right into Andrew's leg. It was so funny. We laughed and laughed. Now on to the pictures.

A new blog name and an update!

Hi all! It has been so long since my last post! I will try to keep up better now that I'm MARRIED! Things are beginning to settle down and hopefully I'll be able to post more frequently. I'll try to upload some engagement photos soon and then eventually wedding photos. We are still trying to get all the wedding photos uploaded. Also I decided on The King Kronicles for the new blog name! Well I better get supper started.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

The Search For The New Blog Name!

So I'd like to change the blog title to reflect the changes happening in my life after the wedding. I have no idea what to call it. I'd like to name it something associated with my new name as it will become an update for what's going on in our new family together. I'm asking you for suggestions. Here is some info to help you think of a fun new name. King will be my new last name, so some cute pun/saying involving the word king would be great or with our names Brittany and Andrew, our new joint email account is drewandbritt@hotmail.com so maybe something like that. I want something unique and fun. Please help me out!!!!!

Catching Up plus BIG NEWS!

I have been a terrible blogger lately. Here is a quick recap of what's been happening in my life.

• May 4th, I was let go from Robert Morris University because of cutbacks
• On June 25th I started a temporary job at Blue Cross Blue Shield answering phone calls dealing with MLR it has to do with the Obamacare decision. The job only lasts until August 24th or maybe sooner as the project is not generating the expected response.
• July 3rd, Andrew proposed! We are engaged!!!! The wedding date is September 22nd! Engagement story to follow.
• July 4th, told our families.
• July 6th, I found my wedding dress. 
• July 7th, pool party at Aunt Stacey's 

That's a really quick recap to catch you up on the major happenings in my life. I will try to update more frequently but can't promise anything.

Date Night!!!

A few weeks ago, my sweetie Andrew and I went on a date night. We went to the mini golf/putt putt golf course in Quincy. It was so much fun, and when we got there we found out that during the summer if you have your max card (from the County Market grocery store) you can get $2 off on putt putt. The price is regularly $5/person which is a pretty good price anyway, but we were able to play for $6 for both of us! It was a beautiful night and we got there at just the right time before a huge crowd hit. 

Our Score Card. I WON!!!! Andrew was only 1 point behind though!

About to Putt!

Having Fun!

Looking Good!

Hole in ONE!

Concentrating hard

Stray Ball!
