Year in Review 2011: Part 2

Note: This is a start of a four part series, the object being to give a quick review of my experiences in the year 2011. In this part I will cover the months of April, May, and June.

April

Easter was in April and as per our sort of tradition Casey and I dyed some Easter Eggs and tried to make our poison egg once again. (trying to get one as dark as possible with a pirate skull on it) Ben had come over to see Casey and Erin came over to see me, even if she doesn't like silly things like Easter Egg dying.

At work I had our Annual Dinner, as well as Chantel's wedding, it was difficult getting it all arranged but I got to see the wedding, the annual dinner, and the end of the reception with Erin looking stunning :)

towards the end of the Month Erin and I went to Brown county with her dogs, and had a wonderful day walking in the park.

On a sad note in April, my great Grandma Zeumer passed away at the age of 98.

May

In may I got to experience my first "dog birthday party" as we had to throw a celebration for Erin's dog Jude who turned three and became much more mature.... what kind of gifts did she get? well balls of course!

As always I spent a lot of this month hanging out with Erin.

I was also going to the gym a lot in may, trying to drop some of the pounds I had gained since starting my new job at the museum, seemed like I gained around 10 pounds this spring... and I had the added incentive of being part of a pedometer team at my Aunts school so I was trying to get as many steps in as possible.

Towards the end of the month we had a big storm hit Decatur County, we would be without electric for 3 days as power lines were ripped down all over the place. Many houses in Greensburg including the Museum had storm damage and needed there roofs replaced a process that is still going on. I was at Anytime fitness with Scott when the storm hit and you couldn't see the parking lot from inside the gym with how bad everything was blowing.

After the storm let up I picked up dinner for Erin's family and went to their house, where we spent the afternoon without electric before I went home late that night.

Actually before all of these storms I had went with my Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma down to Brookville to see the family graves for Memorial day.

June

June started out with my birthday! and Erin got me two great gifts... A laser disc player and a hippo bank! and Casey got me Muppet Treasure Island, so it was a great birthday!

At work I started what would become a long process (still not complete) of getting the roof at the museum replaced due to the storm damage. As well as working to put together an Apprisal show for the museum which was a big project!

Erin took me to see her friend Josie who works with baby tigers at a local petting zoo, which was cool because we got to pet a 4 day old baby tiger.

And in what is a summer tradition around here I spent some time helping my Dad bale hay on the farm.

In June Brock had hosted a party to watch the Aliens movies at his new place, which was fun hanging out with everyone...

And that takes us through 1/2 of 2011
