The Dark Knight

This weekend Anthony and I saw The Dark Knight with Dan and Meg. I went to the movie expecting it to not live up to all the hype that has surrounded the movie and was very surprised. The movie was amazing, easily the best movie I have seen in the last couple of years. I was finding it hard to believe that Heath Ledger delivered the best performance of a villain until Sunday, and everyone was right, he was amazing. Creepy and dark, but in a believable way. You should definitely go check it out if you haven't already. Did anyone else see it? What did you think about it?

Our Apartment...

I wanted to put up a couple pictures of our apartment...

Here is a picture of our living room.


The other half of the living room...


The dining room.


The kitchen.


That's really the only decent pictures I have of the new apartment right now. When I have a few more I will share them with you. Let us know what you think of the new place.

Doughnuts...Not Just A Food...

So I've been driving around for a week or so with my rear tire going flat. I fill it up almost daily and it still leaks. Anthony patched it and we thought that the patch would be a solution. Well last night after grocery shopping we went by to put a little more air in the tire. As Anthony was filling it up I noticed that it looked like big bubbles were moving around in the tire. I asked Anthony what it was and he said "Just get away from it." About 5 seconds later the tire blew up. Well, it wasn't quite as dramatic as that just sounded, but a big hole appeared. So...I am now driving around on a "doughnut" tire until this afternoon when they will put my new, shinny tire on the car. Maybe I will take some pictures when I get home.

Happy Birthday to You!

My dad's birthday was on July 17th, so my parents came down to Fort Myers to celebrate. Dad really wanted to go to a Japanese Steakhouse so we went to Tokyo Bay Friday night. It was a lot of fun for everyone. Dad, Mom, Susan, Daniel, Meg, Anthony and I all enjoyed our food and the show by our server. It was the first time I had seen a server try to make everyone at the table catch food in their mouths! Meg was the only successful catcher. After dinner, the waitress brought out ice cream with a candle for Dad, but didn't sing because he hates being singled out.

Everyone came to our apartment after dinner so that we could show off our new place. I was able to be a hostess for a little bit and serve coffee to our guests. :-) Anthony taught Mom, Susan, and Meg how to play Boggle and later we played Scattergories. Overall it was an enjoyable evening with my family. Here are some pictures from dinner and game time.

Princess of Power!!!

I don't know if any of you use to watch the T.V. show She-Ra, but I use to love it! It was a great 80's cartoon about a princess who fights evil. Well Anthony and I were talking about it this weekend and I said how much I use to love playing with She-Ra and He-Man and how they were a Super Couple. He died laughing and told me I was sick. Then he told me that they were brother and sister. I thought he was wrong and we argued a bit about it. Well I looked it up online, and during the theme song She-Ra says that she is He-Man's twin sister. Seriously? How did I miss that one?

Fireworks!!

Anthony and I enjoyed our first 4th of July together last Friday. We spent most of the day with one of my really good friends Lindsey and her husband Tony. It was nice for Anthony to finally meet some of my friends who have been such a large part of my life.

We played guitar hero and spent the afternoon in the pool before heading downtown to watch the fireworks show. Anthony, Lindsey, Tony, and I met up with our other friends at the docks. It was very nice to watch the fireworks over the water.

After the show was over we headed downtown for a little while. It was nice to show my friends from Wauchula where Anthony and I spend our weekends. All together it was a nice weekend. I hope everyone else had a great 4th too!

Ducks!!

Most of you know that Anthony and I recently moved into a different apartment. Now instead of living on the third floor, we live directly on a lake and it is very pretty.




With this new view also came new friends; ducks!



Now when we are leaving the apartment we look to see if there are ducks to feed! :-) There are also the cutest little ducklings that follow their mother around. Most of them are brown, but there is also a yellow one that I really like.



We have really enjoyed our new duck friends, and so has Kirby. He will sit in the window and stare at the ducks and the lake.



It's nice to still be able to enjoy a small piece of nature when we live in the middle of a city!

Slide Show!

Here are some pictures of Anthony and I with some of our friends. Most of these pictures were taken while we were either downtown or out somewhere. A few of them are from Chris and Jenn's wedding. Hope you enjoy, let us know what you think!
