A fancy fancy dinner-

University of Florida

Every day for months now we have been checking Tyler's account online with the University to see if he got in, and today we checked and this is what it said:

Congratulations!!! Your application to the University of Florida for the Fall 2011 term has been approved!

Official notification will arrive by mail, including the conditions of your admission as well as important orientation and immunization information.

We look forward to seeing you on campus soon, and welcome you to the Gator Nation!

Yay!

Memorial Day & Backyard Fun

Memorial Day was fun, we went to a barbecue with friends at their pool. It was nice to enjoy the weather and visit with friends. I made my first attempt at potato salad, :)

It started out with all the moms in the pool with the kids, while the dads hung around the grill and ate. So, when the dads got in the pool, the moms took advantage and got some food while they watched the kids. We maybe got stuck visiting though and abandoned the dads with the kids ;)

Last night, Nicholas was needing some fun, but mommy was needing some relaxation, so we went over to our new place (that we are moving into in a few weeks but have the key already) and played with bubbles in the backyard. We also raked up some leaves and watered some plants, and looked at the birds nest in the hose hanger. I am excited to live there :)
