Fun-filled PA weekend

Last weekend, Cory and I went up to PA for a bunch of fun events! My friend from high school and college, Geoff, got married on Saturday night at Penn State! It was a beautiful ceremony and super-fun reception, and great to see a bunch of old friends from high school. And of course it was great to be back at Penn State, because in case you didn't know, we really like it there ;)

Cory's going to show me how to load a slideshow later, so here's a few pics for now!

Here's me and my sister Heather at the Saloon on Friday night, drinking Monkey Boys! Mmm!

And here's the four of us, me, Cory, Heather, and her husband Aaron, at the Lion Shrine between the wedding ceremony and reception.

On Sunday we got up and headed back to Lancaster to meet almost my entire Dad's side of the family for a surprise 85th birthday party for my Grandma! There are nine of us cousins on that side of the family, and only two couldn't make it. Everyone else was there, including the 4 great-grandchildren, none of whom I had met yet! So I was really glad that it worked out that Cory and I could make it. And Grandma was really surprised! :)

And here's one of everyone that was there, and then all the cousins that were there with Grandma.

On Sunday evening we got to see Cory's family! His mom picked us up and we went and saw his sister Amy, and her family. Here's Connor (he's 7), Blake (3), and finally a baby sister, Jayden (1 month).

Monday we went to Cory's dad's house at the river and enjoyed the sun and some wakeboarding. No pics of that unfortunately! It was a great weekend!!

A new blogger at the C-spot

I finally decided to join the blogger world, so I had Cory add me as an author on his page; or should I say 'our' page - aww :) He even changed the name of the blog to 'the Sholls'! Less than three months and we will be!!!

Since I'm just learning, I have to put some pictures so I can learn how to do that. So here's a picture of what we had for dinner:

Yummo! Homemade pizza with pesto, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Wow it was good!

And here's a few of how we're sprucing up the yard:

We bought everything last weekend and planted the grasses and the flowers. Today after work we planted the bushes in the front. We liked the bright colors, they reminded us of fall in PA. The guy at the plant-store said they'd stay like this year round, so hopefully he was right!!

Stay tuned for more updates from me - hopefully this won't be a one time thing!
