Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day to all of you out there. It is very hard in these times to find someone that doesn't have or know someone directly in the military or is a veteran. Being married to a soldier myself and experiencing loosing those we know, Memorial Day is very dear to my heart. Make sure you let veterans and soldiers you know that you are thinking of them today. Also don't forget those that are fighting for your country and those have lost their lives defending your freedom. They are never forgotten.

We have had a very busy weekend but relaxing in the same token. Friday was Matt's birthday and he got a BIG gift. We have been talking about getting a second bike because believe it or not I have gotten into motorcycles. I thought it would be fun for Matt and I to go riding on the weekends at some point in time when Gracie was older. Well, we actually had to go to the Harley dealership to pick up some paperwork for the Sportster. There was a bike Matt has been keeping his eye on...and they cut him a deal. So needless to say, I am now an owner of Harley along with my husband. Now we realize that we aren't going to get to ride all that much due to the fact that Matt is going to be gone most of the summer and Gracie is still small but we can still maybe squeeze some time in. I am not worried about having time....it will come later on. Everyone I have talked to on the phone is shocked that I want to ride motorcycles, but honestly, I am going to bring the fabulousness to motorcycle riding. I will come home in heels and put on biker boots and ride with the wind in my silver and pink helmet and my pink jacket as soon as I find one I like!!! ha ha!

Saturday we went to Gymboree (will post pictures as soon as I get them loaded on my computer) and then I went to a Pampered Chef party. It was a pretty laid back day but nice. Sunday was pretty much the same thing. Gracie and I ran some errands while Matt went on a benefit run for the Special Olympics. After Gracie and I went grocery shopping we came home and cleaned house. Gracie has turned into quite the little monkey lately. She has been climbing over everything she can. Well, it was only a matter of time before she fell off of something and sure enough she did. She fell off the couch trying to walk on it (which we have warned her about numerous times) and fell off, bumped the edge of the ottoman and now has a nice pretty bruise on her forehead. Once Matt got home from his ride, we went out to Olive Garden (thanks Mom's for the gift certificate) to celebrate our 8 year anniversary. Matt might have a color guard event tomorrow so we decided to celebrate early. We got dressed up a bit which was a nice change of pace. Dinner was great...nice and yummy. We then rented a movie so we could relax at home. It was a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary.

Today we are having a BBQ at our house. Some of Matt's work friends are coming over. I have gotten the beans, corn, and ice cream cake done. We are just having hamburgers and hot dogs. Nothing fancy. I haven't loaded pictures from this weekend yet, but I will tonight and post them later on. We here at the Cunningham household hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend. I will post more later on tonight! Tootles for now!
