What we have been up to lately :)

We went to Washington DC last weekend and it was amazing!! We got to see so many amazing landmarks and one of my favorites was the Martin Luther King Memorial. It is new and it was so incredible. The stone work was so detailed that you can even see the veins in his hands. It was just a fantastic weekend!
This upcoming weekend is our 1 year wedding anniversary and Bryce's 26th birthday. I cannot believe how fast that has all crept up on us!! We are getting excited for the leaves to begin changing. Word has it that out here the world looks like it is on fire when the fall leaves hit their peak changing time. With how gorgeous and green it has been I can only imagine how wonderful it will be with the autumn coloring! I will certainly post pics once it starts changing!
I have heard from a few people that they keep trying to comment and the blog won't let them. I believe to comment you must become a "follower" of the blog. I think it is really easy to do, especially if you have a facebook account. Anywho, become a follower!! Hahhaha.

Not today so let's go with no...?

Why does a chiropractor need to know if you have EVER had:
  • Piles (rectal hemorrhoids)
  • Problems wetting the bed
  • Jumpy when you hear strange noises at night
  • Loose bowels
  • Times where you felt unpopular or wished you had friends around
  • Getting annoyed at people who frustrate you
  • Do you belch a lot after you eat
  • Does every little effort wear you out?
  • Must you do things slowly to do them without mistakes?

and lastly

  • Does it bother you to eat anywhere other than your home?
I answered "no" to these questions because I thought to myself, why do you need to know this? And, I didn't have any of them that day specifically so I figured it was okay.. :)
What a weird compilation of questions.

Hurricanes, tornados, and earthquakes.. oh my!


Well it is official and the testing has been done. If there are more than 1 Averill bloodline humans on the east coast at any given time, natural disasters strike. Nellie gets to Baltimore while dad and I are in Pennsylvania... boom... earthquake. Just to let us know mother nature is serious she sent along a hurricane and tornado watch to hammer it in. It has been quite eventful on the weather front. There was some big time flooding over the last week, but aside from this I think things are starting to settle down!
Bryce and I have been having trouble with one set of keys. They don't unlock easily and sometimes you have to jimmy the lock for about 15 minutes to get the doors unlocked. We look like we are breaking in to our house 50% of the time. The other night we officially had to break in! Bryce locked the storm door on door A and I locked the main door on door B (bad combo if you have the crummy set of keys) without knowing. We got home around 10pm and could not get in. The crummy keys were tried for 30 min along with Bryce trying to card open the doorlock. I used a bobby pin on the storm door with no luck. All the windows are locked (good job Cassandra for being so paranoid) and there is literally no getting in. We have the window units on the second floor so we drove the truck up to the house really close and Bryce hopped on top and jumped to the window ledge. The plan was that he would push the ac unit to the floor and crawl in. That was all great until the ledge started to breaking......
What do intelligent people do at this point? Give up? Sleep in the truck bed? Well Bryce and I tried the other window on the other side of the house :) After almost crashing into our new car, we got the truck on the sidewalk and attempted the stunt again. We couldn't push the unit out or it would break so I held it to the side with one hand while bryce levitated to the window and tried to pull himself up. I had one had to give his foot leverage and the other holding the unit. He was dangling from the window from his fingertips trying to push off my hand while I struggled balancing the two equal weight objects ;) It was ridiculous! Luckily, skinny Bryce was able to shimmy through the tiny window crevice and save us. I will attach a picture of this disgustingly small crevice. Good thing he is soo skinny!
The tiny square on the left.... yeah, that is it..
