The fantastic, amazing, thrilling times Of Tiffany's visit to the Crossroads of America!

Tiffany's visit started out slowly, there was corn.... and more corn..... then some bad drivers... and more corn.

The fun picked up on saturday with a visit to CHICAGO! There was some kind of baseball game going on, but we just ignored the crazies in the streets. Very strange people out, they were wandering the streets wearing black shirts that said White on them... anywho, after our fun tour of the city we needed a small snack to revive our spirits. The top of the John Hancock building Tiffany had to be peer pressured into finishing her drink.

The view from our table. The only problem is you get crazy "tourists" leaning over your seats to get a better view for themselves, so rude!

We were then off to feast upon roast fowl and Mcdonalds apple pies(explained later)

Alas we were more concerned with hitting the bar than taking pictures of the inside of the castle. We were able to meet and greet our knights afterwards and got some good pictures.

Here are some Pre-Show pictures.....

This was our "evil, foul, loathsome green knight"! We asked to sit in his section because we got to be the rowdiest and boo at all the wholesome brave knights. BOOOOO

Tiffany and his Highness Alfonso the Conquerer and his white trash bleached daughter, who we did not take a picture of.

Tiffany and our "MC" who was really funny but seemed to make it his job to point out that we were drunks. Heck we had a good time!

Our Sunday consisted of visiting the fabulous Indianapolis Motor Speedway!!!!

Finally an update!

Well with no further wedding info to post right now I thought I would post a few pictures from our exciting Sunday for you!


Here is our pretty mums on the front entry. The empty grey container on the step is waiting for me to find something to put in it. Cameron tried to plant a couple of lightbulbs but nothing grew.

Here is our brand new compost bin. Made all by ourselves thank you very much! We found out that our trash service won't pick up yard waste until the leaves start falling. So all our grass clippings have been getting thrown in the trash. We'll see how our bin does, hopefully getting some good soil to put on our flowers next year.

Cameron tried to compost poor Parker.

See we do have some leaves already falling! Our nieghbors were concerned we cut our grass soo short, but heck it was like 6 inches tall before we started, we thought they would be happy!

I just thought I would take a closer picture of the house.

And finally our shame....... granted it was like that when we moved in(there was a lightening strike that killed the other large tree in the front yard and burned all the grass). But when you live on a street where it looks like someone should be setting up to tee off on your neighbors lawn, there is a fierce competition for having good grass. We decided that as soon as we can next spring, we are having the whole front yard torn up and hydroseeded to start over.
