I don’t really…but that song has been stuck in my head all week. Well the first part is a lie, I think we’d all want to be billionaires if we had the option. Note to self: work on becoming a billionaire.

I’ve been on a bit of a blogging hiatus this week…and let me tell you, it feels amazing. Not having to think of a quipy one liner, not whipping out the camera to take a photo of everything or anything that might prove funny at some point, and of course this also means Tucker hasn’t been acting up which is always great.
But now, the guilt is setting in. Not that I’m leaving a massive amount of people lying in wait for my next post…but hopefully there are a handful of you I can entertain and I made a commitment to blogging so damnit, I’m going to blog…whether or not there’s a story to tell.
And sadly, I have no story to tell. It’s been project central at the Fellows’ – I’ll post some pics once they’re completed. Andy’s working super hard in the garage and I’m diligently surfing the internet. Do you know how much baby stuff is out there? Good lord it’s insane. So obviously, I’ve got my own work to do. And my Gap card is offering triple points right now…so I have to maximize that, right?!

long weekend!
I haven't been at work since Wednesday afternoon and it feels amazing! It was a fun filled weekend with too many stories to blog about - so some photos will have to do. We hit up an engagement party, Alicia's cabin on lake Sallie, Laura's cabin on lake Isabelle and followed it up with a little adventure to the Biz.

Swerving Gerving messing with Andy
Yes, that's me in the water...don't worry, I didn't get wet getting on the floaty.

the 4th
It was a fun filled 4th of July weekend for the Fellows – and by weekend I mean just that – Andy and I both had to work Monday. I mean honestly, who has to work the day after the 4th of July? So sad.
Saturday morning we packed up and headed to the Deere’s cabin on Cass Lake. The Natwicks were already there to get the party started. It was a beautiful day on the lake so we took out the pontoon and soaked in the sun. Well, that’s a lie. I’m a really big talker when it comes to the sun…I got too hot within a couple of hours and sat in the shade the rest of day. I’m nervous about burning this bun in the oven!
Tucker got to spend the weekend at the lake too – he made a new buddy, Boone. They fetched the ball a hundred times, or however long the biggest sucker would stand there and throw it.
We had an awesome fish fry and then Josh tried for hours, literally, to get the UFC fight. It’s a you had to be there kind of story, but trust me when I say he kept us fully entertained while on the phone with customer service (yes there were a few cocktails involved).
And of course there was Olivia to amuse us for hours. She hammed it up for the camera and hung out with the big kids all weekend. She was also very concerned with Tucker’s whereabouts throughout the weekend …because he was usually in a time out.

a perfect day
It’s a beautiful day in Fargo today! The sun is shining, there is no wind and it’s the perfect temp. What more could you ask for?
Oh and did I mention RED PEPPER is in town too?!
Every year there is this police department festival of sorts at Island Park…and the Red Pepper mobile comes to town! I only know this because I’m a fan on Facebook – don’t judge me people.
(Alicia thanks for joining me and making me not look so pedophile-like at this obviously kid oriented family fest.)
In addition to the Pep, there was cotton candy. MY GOD. Could this day be any more perfect? Probably my two favorite (edible) things rolled into one glorious afternoon. Oh the delight!
(Grinder to go because I already inhaled my beef tostada.)

Bold and Boring
It was a low key, boring in a good way weekend at the Fellows’. I don’t know how people can be go go go every weekend. I love to have some time to relax, get the house together and nap of course.
It was a super rainy Saturday, excellent for catching up on some DVRed shows and watching my new boyfriend, Landon play some World Cup Soccer. Sunday was windy of course, but with the sun shining, I won’t complain. Andy busied himself with yard work while Tucker and I set up shop on the deck. One of my favorite things to do is to fill up his little pool and watch his dumb ass splash around in circles - all the while singing Tommy Boy’s “Fat Guy in a Little Coat.”
Then Andy was off for an afternoon of golf while Tuck and I did what we do best: nap. I curled up in bed and Tucker curled up on my stacks of folded laundry. It was a bold move, but the stealth like jump to the bed made right as I was falling asleep paid off because I was just too sleepy to do anything about it.
And then I woke from my slumber to find Tucker’s face an inch from mine with his head on my pillow and I clearly knew it was time to get up!

UPS and down
It was our anniversary on Friday, as my blog readers know by the previous post. Andy and I aren’t really gift givers for these occasions, because well we just buy what we want throughout the year. But 5 years seems like a gift worthy, big deal occasion right?
A few weeks ago, I remembered that I fell in love with a necklace my friend Liz had on the last time I saw her. Just a simple lower case cursive “d” that took me forever to figure out stood for her last name…I of course wanted the “f”. So I emailed the hubby a photo of said necklace just in case he wanted to buy me a little something. Yeah, I’m a copy cat and I’ll admit it.
Days went by and no jewelry store description on either credit card. Shoot, my subtle email wasn’t obvious enough! Oh well.
The night before our anniversary Andy says to me something like, I bought you the necklace, but it won’t be here until tomorrow, though they promised it would be here today. Well, a) thanks sneaky hubby for using a secret credit card to buy my goods! and b) I really hoped it arrived before we left town!
Friday morning I was like a kid at Christmas waiting for the UPS man to arrive. The tracking email said he’d left at 6am…but the necklace, nowhere to be found.
We’d waited around as long as we could and finally we needed to leave. Andy mentioned that he saw a UPS truck near our neighborhood as he was coming home. Hmm…well…maybe if the UPS truck won’t come to us, we can go to him?
I’ve realized this pregnancy card is a pretty amazing thing for such scenarios. I mean, can you really turn me down?
So we headed out of town and I prayed to God we saw the UPS truck on the way out.
…and like a mirage down one of the streets in our neighborhood, I saw the brown and gold! Andy hopped out of the car with a smile on his face walked to the UPS truck shaking his head and got the package! What a husband!
F is for Fellows!

5 years
Happy Anniversary to my favorite person in the world! Love you today.
And who are the little kiddos in these photos?
All smiles after the ceremony is a good thing right?!
Big shocker, a windy day in Fargo.
And that's a flooded river behind us, not a lake!
